Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 191

Still going down but I don't think that I will reach my goal of 148 this round. But if I get down to 150 solid that will be a good change. I over-estimated as I didn't think about the fact that this is just 10 days! I will keep up with these rounds and work my way down!

6/28: 252.2
6/29: 251.2 – it is great to see the loss today as I struggled very hard to stay on plan yesterday. I am finding it more and more difficult to plan and cook my meals to plan. I want to give in and get something quick, easy and very bad for me. Yesterday was a bad day from the emotional point of view but I did manage to stay on plan although my calories were somewhat higher than normal, but still OK. I was doing fine without grains (bread, pasta, rice, corn etc.), but I am now (over a month in) starting to really miss them on bad days like yesterday. Luckily, I don’t really have anything in the house so it is harder to give in to cravings! I hope that today will be better
6/30: 251.0 – Staying on plan was easier yesterday. But I am struggling with doing all that prepping and cooking of meals. Planning far enough ahead that I know what I am going to eat is difficult. But if I don’t do that, I will make poor decisions about meals. But I am still hanging in there.

I know half a pound isn’t significant, but still….Ever since the doctor’s dietitian put me on that very restrictive elimination diet 4 years ago to look for sensitivities (I have none), I find it harder than it’s ever been in my life to lose weight, and oh so easy to gain. I should have known better, but the quick weight loss then was so gratifying I didn’t question it. They — especially the dietician —should have known better for sure! Ok, just letting off steam, because it’s so frustrating to find it so hard to lose when I’m sticking to my food goals. No hugs needed, I’m just venting, and I’ll keep sticking to it. Have a lovely Sunday!
6/27 - 180
Ok, whatever. I did have some rhubarb ginger crisp last night, but my overall calories were fine. I made my 26th different weekly soup yesterday—West African Peanut Soup with chicken. Really good! This soup challenge has been a lot of fun. Now to find 26 more different soups! 🍵

Whaaaa??? This makes no sense, unless I’m waterlogged. I mean, it has to be water—I didn’t gain a pound and a half overnight. Calories were fine, though fat was a bit high, and I was on my feet at dog training for 5 hours, so not exactly sedentary. I don’t get it. I thought about fibbing to you guys, but what’s the point of that? Anyway, I’m disgusted. Hoping it falls back off.
6/30 - 179.6
That’s better. And I was so glum yesterday I forget to mention Tuesday was my pup Rory’s birthday! He’s a year old now, and to celebrate, he passed his AKC Temperment and Advanced Canine Good Citizen tests and his Therapy Dog test on Tuesday, the first day he was eligible. Here he is looking all grown up.

Determined to get back into shape & do the things I love. Started this journey 4/4/22 at 180lbs and wish I would have found this amazing group sooner.
- Jenn / UGW: ~130lbs. fit & toned
I like to dance in celebration of those who inspire me on this journey. Don’t be surprised if I ask you for a song to add to my workout playlist.

He’s a year old now, and to celebrate, he passed his AKC Temperment and Advanced Canine Good Citizen tests and his Therapy Dog test on Tuesday, the first day he was eligible. Here he is looking all grown up.

/nothing/ Time to buckle down before July. I am eating away from home for four out of the five weekends in July, and the other one is a holiday weekend.
6/28: 216
/some “nominal” dumbbell work/ I lost a pound even though lunch and supper were both restaurant meals. I have some major work to do if I plan to lower my 10-day average.
6/29: 216
/yoga and spinning/ I would have thought a pound or two would have sweated off. I did eat back a couple hundred exercise calories….
6/30: 216
/grass mowing/ My current habit of rounding to the nearest whole number hides a bit of progress. But, let’s face it, when my goal is over ten pounds away… whole numbers tell the story just fine.
On another note, I don’t think eating back my exercise calories is serving me well. Neither is my weakness for salty food.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.7 -
I’m in for my second round. Met some great friends the last round! Last round I lost 2 pounds! This round will be tricky because there is a holiday in it and we have a party with all the food and the drinks. We’ll see.

ROUND 189
SW: 180.2
ROUND 190
SW: ?6/24 176.6 back from vacation. was i stressing over gaining weight so i didn't eat as much, or was i not stress eating? kinda like that old tootsie pop commercial, "the world may never know".ROUND 191
6/25 175.8 don't believe everything you see. it HAS to be my scale messing with me again because everyone knows i don't lose almost a pound overnight. someday i will invest in a better scale. until then....i'm enjoying the tiny fibs it tells me every once in a while.
SW: 174.4
Day/Weight/Comment
6/26: 174.4 i will keep accepting these lower weights my scale is spitting out, just as i will accept the higher ones when it decides to tell the truth. maybe it's all my fault, and i should change the batteries? I forgot to mention my failures that have occurred since vacation. i am ashamed to say i have had a set back in my quitting smoking. i know that i will have to get that under control as well as my eating habits. i have also failed in my walking. i will need to get motivated and include that also. i have emotional stress in my life right now, which i see an end to in the future but that will take a few months. my weeks vacation visiting with family was nothing but smiles and laughter. driving home my failures began, and i realized i must do something besides diet and exercise for myself. i will continue to recognize my failures, but i will not beat myself up over them. a slow and steady path in the right direction is what i have chosen.
6/27: 174.4 i looked up how many calories i should be eating if i am sedentary and oh lordy lordy they're really trying to starve people! i did my check in yesterday and "whoop whoop" my neck is 1/2 in thinner! wow! was that a good feeling! i still haven't gotten back to my walks outside. i did spend 3 hours walking in a circle around my livingroom yesterday, and i think i am going to start calling the time i struggle with the dog to take her medicine "my cardio workout".
6/28: 174.8 OK scale... i must weigh 174.(something). my calories were good, my macros were good. my exercise was non-existant. aaarrrgggh, i thought getting back to exercising would be easier than this.
6/29: 174 changed the batteries in my scale, and my weight remained about the same. i'm owing my scale an apology now for accusing it of lying to me. my calorie intake was super low yesterday, i wasn't feeling very hungry. maybe it was because of the migraine lurking to attack me last night, but it's almost noon time today and i still have no appetite. i was thinking earlier how great this group is. no one is judgmental and everyone so supportive. it's excellent therapy without the giant price tag.
6/30: 173.6 another day of too low intake, but again great macros. i forced myself to go for my walk yesterday. 1.9mi @3mph. when i got home i was questioning my sanity. 2 weeks without walking, last night felt like a nightmare, but i'm sure it'll get better again. i am trying to do my walks 3-4 times a week.

6/26: 133.2 - Well, I was over in calories yesterday but did drink a ton of water and got both my workouts in, Excellent sleep for once even though I went to bed quite late.
6/27: 132.7 - Ate pretty well - balanced macros. Need to get back to not eating after 8pm though. Good workout and a dog walk (not ours - it was fun!).
6/28: 132.9 - Got my normal workouts in although I was a little tired in the afternoon. Dinner was a little heavier than usual (or I ate a bit more). Good sleep.
6/29: 134.0 - Had two social events yesterday that derailed my eating. Normal workouts though.
6/30: 134.0 - Normal workouts and cleaning out my closet yesterday. I’m now 10 pairs of shoes lighter. :-) I figured high heels weren’t really something I was going to wear anymore now that I’m retired. I also realized that all my old work shoes and clothes were black, black, and more black. I’m excited to bring more color into my outerwear and shoes.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/25 …..203.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/26 …..202.8 ….. (Trend weight 204.0) I’m happy to start this round with a one pound drop. I carefully planned my meals and snacks yesterday, just not enough movement because it was so hot! Good luck to everyone this round. We’re in this together! Thanks Jaine for posting this and continuing to be an inspiration!
06/27 …..198.4 ….. (Trend weight 203.5) Onederland, Onederland!!!! But a 4 ½ lb loss overnight? Hard to believe. I took batteries in and out several times. Then tried new ones. Even moved the scale to my non-typical spot. Yep, 198.2. The only explanation is that I did take my waterpill yesterday since I was home. (I won’t be able to take it the next 3 days as I’ll be away from home). But THAT much water retention due to heart no pumping properly? Wow! So today is the ultrasound on the heart and I get hooked up to a heart monitor I will wear home for a couple of days. Then traveling even further south for some building supplies at a special store. Going with my son. When we hit the big city I promised him golden corral and we may try to fit in the Elvis movie. Scale will be up tomorrow from GC and lots of sitting but I plan on making it a nice day for the two of us. Watch what you put on the plate Donna!
06/28 …..198.8 ….. (Trend weight 203.0)
I had yesterday’s weight off by 0.2 so I have corrected it. I’ll take what I see today on the scale gladly after so much travel sitting, hospital sitting, theater sitting and Golden Corral. Ultrasound was completed and I have a monitor on now (that added a few ounces to my scale too?). Feeling really motivated right now seeing the 100’s instead of 200’s, even after travel. I have my oldest grandson’s birthday deal with me later today. I am taking him to the salon for a facial and acne treatment (pimple extraction). I want to see how his skin reacts. Would be such a nice thing before school pix etc. I am back to travel/hospital tomorrow for the nuclear stress test and monitor removal. I am working hard to stay focused and not let the situations limit my progress. I’m not gonna lie, I’m very stressed out about the stress test. I hope I don’t have a heart attack in the middle of it. When I say I can’t breathe, I’m being serious here. But I do want some answers. By the way, I loved, loved, loved the Elvis movie. Even my 25 year old son really liked it and he’s not exactly an Elvis fan. It was as much about Col. Tom Parker as it was Elvis. A very interesting story and all the actors were wonderful including Tom Hanks. Rotten Tomatoes gave it high scores and it tied for number one at the box office this past opening weekend with Top Gun Maverick. Glad I went.
06/29 …..201.0 ….. (Trend weight 202.8) I’m not too surprised to see the jump up even though it is always disappointing. Celebrated DGS 16th birthday yesterday and ended up about 246 calories over. I feel some of this is also from the outing the day before catching up to me. I mean, I was careful but it WAS Golden Corral. Today is travel back to the hospital. Nervous about the testing and missing my coffee already. Afterward, Shopping and restaurant lunch with my friend who is going with me later. I will keep my eye on the ball and watch what I order.
06/30 …..DNW ….. (Trend weight DNW] After 3 days of travel sitting, a 4 hour (mostly sitting) testing window and restaurants, I did not want to see the temporary rise again, so I will weigh tomorrow and take the punches then. Hopefully it will not be too inflated by then. Heart monitor is off. Now I wait for a call from the doctor for immediate results, then an appt on July 12 for a treatment plan.

Day, Weight, Comment
6/26: 158.2 - today is my “relaxed eating” day so I fully anticipate a gain on the scale tomorrow. I will take it because I feel great, I still tracked all of my food (a huge win for me), I still got some movement in, and I’m ready to jump into tomorrow!
6/27: 157.9 - feeling a little under the weather today, but pleasantly surprised at my weigh in this morning. I’m feeling extra hungry and a little headachy today but I had a good workout this morning so that definitely helped.
6/28: 156.9 - yesterday ended up being a great day! I was able to avoid a binge, I ate well within my calorie range, and had a good workout. I started this morning big with a workout but we have pizza every Tuesday night, so I generally expect a little gain on Wednesday mornings.
6/29: 156.9 - I stayed exactly the same as yesterday so I’m thrilled! Here’s to another day of tracking!
6/30: 155.8 - wow! Y’all today is a great day to have a great day! I am just feeling incredible this week! Tracking and exercise and water, oh my!

6/26 - 166.7 - 14,500 steps / 74 active minutes. Had a few/several adult beverages and didn’t really track but ate mindfully. Sandwich, veggies and a few treats at the tea. Then 2 tiny pieces of pizza and a small amount of chips. This number is mostly puff and water not worried at all. I work at this so I can enjoy these days. Oh … I had many people tell me that I was looking good and that they see me walking lol.
6/27 - 167.2* - 15,300 / 90. Baby shower lots of sitting, and hot weather!! Did get a walk in. SO called to say he should be flying home today. Happy but it kinda means it will take longer to drop back down, eh will see. No hugs needed I was expecting this and it will get back down soon, all part of it.
6/28 - 168.1 - 16,700 / 113. Hooray SO is home and my tummy is full of sushi rice. Enjoyed a nice sushi picnic. Sleep was horrible. Not worried about the number, but I am pretty bloated over these last few days. Hoping for a nice light dinner. Been a little behind on the post readings hopefully I can catch up soon. Keep at it all!!
6/29 - 168.9 - 11,100 / 68. Hit my June Challenge of 398.1 Km for the month. Just been hitting my minimums right now. Scale increase due to Pasta, SO home, minimums TOM, alcohol, terrible sleep, TMI and family events. Interesting my water % did hit optimal level, it's usually in the low range. Fat % is the same as 165 and muscle is up too. The body is an interesting thing. Long weekend coming up this might be a few days before I go down again.
6/30 - 170.2* - 11,200 / 58. Another low key day with nothing aligning. Visited friends camping and had hot dogs and snacks.

@karilbrandt ... Oh for sure it is. It's interesting my scale says that I am down in fat and up in water, the water rate is at a 'optimal' level, but I can see I'm puffy.
@SheilaBoneham ... "fibbing" I feel you there. While I totally understand my numbers I kinda felt like just saying DNW but I own it and I know it's not fat. and ... Way to go Rory!!
