Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 194

melaniecheeks · July 2022

Oh this is the perfect thread for me! Just back from a wonderful holiday in France, but I know have 10 days before I go to a week long dance course, and I need to be able to fit into a few more frocks!

My weight is in kilos by the way.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 79.1, I know that's now much but keeping accountable and recording every morning will be a good habit. Went to Legs Bums and Tums class, no alcohol!
7/27. 78.4 Did Joe Wicks HIIT and went to running training
7/28 78.2 - thought would be tough, but husband wasnt away. Slept well
7/29 78.2 proud of myself for keeping off the booze. On a boat trip today, the food will be outside my control
7/30 78.6 so bloated and uncomfortable this morning! Sandwich and biscuits yesterday, and not enough water or walking. Did parkrun, and a dog walk, and drank loads of water.
7/3178.1, even with a few glasses of wine last night. Bought a dress yesterday which is a little tight on me, so hopefully a bit more weight off and it will fit.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 194 ( my 126th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

Goal this round is just to lose, I want my Commonwealth Volunteer uniform to keep feeling a little less “snug” ! (3 shifts out of 10 completed !! ) No binges, keep within calories & macros.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

@Krysless2 - have a wonderful birthday tomorrow

musicsax · July 2022

@deepwoodslady - sorry to hear your additional stress, not wanting to state the obvious, but you really don't need that. Think if I was in your shoes I'd stick with what I was originally told and head to the hospital early tomorrow, but really hope someone contacts you to confirm exactly what will happen. I am and will continue to send you positive vibes and will have you in my thoughts especially tomorrow and then through fo your recovery. I'm really hoping that after recovery it will make a real differance to your health and well being, lots of comforting hugs to you and your family too, it will be worrying for them too xx

Day/Weight/Comment

7/26 - 149 - I'm happy the weekend carbs haven't snuck up on me. Staying within plan so I hope I can maintain this loss this week.
7/27 - 148.5 - This is what happens when I weigh and track every piece of food I eat. Eventually, the weight comes off.
7/28 - 149.5 - And sometimes for no apparent reason, the weight comes back. All I can do is keep tracking.
7/29 - 149.5 - I've tracked all week so this is a little disappointing. My stepdaughter is having us over tonight for an early anniversary supper before their family leaves for home in Florida next week. I'm going to enjoy what they make and have a few drinks. I'll work on the consequences next week.
7/30 - DNW
7/31 - 149.5 - Today is our farewell party for our Florida family. I'm planning to stay around maintenance calories today.

@deepwoodslady - Donna, I agree with @musicsax . You should head to the hospital tomorrow and if they delay it a day or two, stay in a hotel. That way you'll be close if something does happen. The family was not expecting you home this week anyway.

Previous days

7/26 Started to post but then got distracted by something else.
7/27 125. Was 123ish when I weighed on Sunday. Started a new strength program (Thinner, Leaner, Stronger) after not lifting for about three weeks because of vacation and then getting back into the swing of things when we got home. I can at least say that me at 125 now feels a lot different than me at 125 two years ago. I definitely feel a bit swollen/sore from my body getting used to the routine but I know in a few weeks it’ll drop a bit. I’m also trying to maintain a slight deficit to slowly lose. My goal is to lower my body fat while building muscle, so this loss will probably be slower than I’d like to see.
On a personal note, I got the job as a lead that I had mentioned a month or two ago and my first day was Monday this week. I can already tell that I’m going to like it a lot! I also start a little later in the morning so I’m going to make it a point to post each day now that I have a little bit of time when I get home from the gym.

Ps. Sorry I’ve been so missing, life just got hectic with trying to wrap up the job and us going on vacation for a couple weeks. I did pop in from time to time just to read through the posts. I hope everyone has been doing well and enjoying their summer!
7/28 125 maybe less because this was after my protein shake. Worked out this morning. Today was a push day. I like how the 5 day split is a relatively quick workout too. It’s typically 4-5 exercises with 3 sets of 8-10 reps and then I add 20 minutes of cardio at the end and I still end up finishing in about an hour. For anyone interested Monday and Friday is lower body/leg day, Tuesday is upper body, Wednesday is a pull day (deadlifts plus 3 upper body/back exercises), Thursday is upper body/push day & abs (all upper body: shoulder press, chest press, triceps, and captain chair leg raises). At the end of I feel spent in a good way but not like I’m going to be dragging all day from it.
I’ve been starting each morning preworkout with a whey protein shake with 20 grams of protein and having a bit of fruit around 20 carbs worth. It’s either been blueberries, cherries, or dates depending on my mood. I find my workouts are a lot more enjoyable with some food in my stomach. Then I follow my workout with another 20 grams of protein and 50 grams worth of carbs. I then have a lunch consisting of some type of protein, veg and a small amount of fruit if I want something sweet. Then, dinner is some type of protein with veggies (sometimes starchy veg like corn on the cob) and/or salad. Although, last night we had cavatelli with sauce and meatballs and I also had a salad of fresh greens with an orange tomato plus a tablespoon of Trader Joe’s spicy peanut dressing (from the refrigerator section). I recently tried that dressing and it is so good! It’s only 70 calories for two tablespoons and it goes a long way because of how flavorful it is. I can’t wait to try it as a peanut noodle sauce with my fiber gourmet spaghetti for peanut noodles. Happy almost Friday!

7/29 Didn’t weigh this morning. Completed leg day and topped it off with a 10 minute stairmaster session. Had my protein shake with some dates preworkout and now sipping on the rest of my shake and pairing it with a smores probar because I’m in the mood for that. I’m looking forward to tonight because I’m meeting my coworkers from my previous program for dinner/drinks. It’ll be a slightly delayed send off for me 😊.

7/30 Did not post.
7/31 Took the weekend to rest. Watching my cousin’s bulldogs make it even easier because I just want to relax with them all the time. Yesterday’s food wasn’t the greatest because we had a family celebration for a cousin that won a community award recently, so my mother in law ordered a lot of Chinese food for the meal and had desserts I couldn’t resist. I ended up having small portions of everything and had a piece of cheesecake and cookie for dessert. The family thing was for lunch so I ended up just having a Greek yogurt for dinner because I wasn’t super hungry.
Breakfast this morning wasn’t great but I ended up having a few Hershey’s chocolates and I’m about to have Cracklin Oat Bran cereal. I’m not sure what lunch will be but dinner will be tacos with lettuce wraps for shells. I have a couple ears of corn left from our csa, so I’m going to make a corn salsa to top it.
My goal is to start feeling more comfortable sharing the mishaps of my meal plans because after 2 to 3 years of actively posting, I still hate sharing that certain days went awry. I can’t learn if I don’t acknowledge something in the first place, right?

7/24: 179.6 yes, all my work went out the window. I went on the cruise. i have wanted to go on one for 20 years, but work has stopped me. well, retirement opened opportunities and i planned my cruise. since my baby sister is turning 50 on 7/30, I invited her to go with me as a birthday gift. we were on Royal Caribbean, and visited roatan, costa maya, and cozumel (i have probably spelled every one of those city names incorrectly). i will begin keeping track of my calories again, and MUST go shopping to get healthier options in the house (the man is predictable with donuts and frozen dinners.)

7/25: 180.6 i've only been gone a week, and there's so much routine that has obviously slipped my mind. i forgot to do a morning weigh-in, so this mornings weight is after coffee and breakfast. i didn't drink enough water yesterday, need to get back to at least 8 glasses a day (hopefully more). i'm looking forward to my 173# again (even though that's not where near my goal weight)

ROUND 194
SW: 179.2

Day/Weight/Comment

7/26: 179.2 puffy leg this morning. that's not new, and i think it may have reduced a little since yesterday. salt intake was high yesterday, i'll have to watch that. calories and macros were great! so many things to stay focused on.

7/27: 177.2 keeping up with the water is helping. leg is practically back to normal, just a little puff around the ankle. calories and macros were on point again, but sadly sodium was still a little high.

7/28: 175.8 i think all the water weight is gone... the rest is probably the actual weight i gained. i usually eat a slice of white bread w/peanut butter as a snack for the last thing i eat. it carries me through 'til breakfast. i messed up last night and missed my snack. ended up eating PB bread at 2am today, so calories will be over today, and were under yesterday.

7/29: 175.8 i'm actually quite happy to see this weight. my calories were excessive yesterday (as expected). I was sure to get my PB bread BEFORE going to bed last night. i will probably see a weight gain later in the week for my mess up.

7/30: 174.8 look at that! it says i'm down a pound. did really good with calories yesterday, macros were off. oh well, keep on moving in the right direction.

7/31: 173.4 my scale is just being deceitful again. i'll keep logging what it's spewing out, but don't believe a word of it.

Prev Days:

Sat 7/30: 155.6; -0lbs ~ No comments/concerns, so I’ll use this time to make a to-do list. 🤔
To-Do(productive) List
- Run to Macys and JCPenney
- Order daughter’s senior pictures
- Run to the store for some emergency keto snacks
- Try to wrangle up Kyndall to purchase school clothes while it’s tax free week
- To be continued gotta go for now… Had to put a halt on my list for now. I couldn’t go to the mall because the crowds were so extreme.
- Fri 7/29: 155.6; -2.4lbs ~ not bad.. 🙂and kind of predictable since I know I’ve been recovering from my 2-day-sushi “event” earlier in the week. I’m not sure what’s in store for this weekend though. I am going to my monthly poker game on Saturday night and usually it’s a long night full of junk food so I hope I can refrain from going overboard with the salt and carbs! My actual birthday is on Monday so no big plans which is kind of a blessing in disguise. Every year I struggle to get back on the wagon when I’m faced with back to back celebrations.
- Thur 7/28: 158; +.9lbs ~ uh-oh.. mini-goal is coming up tomorrow… really needing to stay on point today!
- Wed 7/27: 157.1; -2.5lbs ~ and so the see-saw begins! I really am thankful for this and the GoT Challenge for pushing me back into the land of the living
- Tues 7/26: 159.6; +1lbs ~ Weekend temptations poured (more like crumbled) over to Monday. Family came over and played Jack in the Box and husband thought of a great idea to bring home Crumbl Cookies for everyone to try for the first time! It’s kind of like a specialty cupcake shop, but instead of cupcakes they create humongous cookies which need a small pie cutter to eat(which I ignored completely)
- Mon 7/25 : 158.6

7/31: 275.8 - A day out on the lake yesterday with family. I didn't track all my calories, but made conscious decisions. Dinner out, and I ate what I felt like eating. I probably went slightly over calories. In past attempts, I'd "give up" and say I'd start over. I'd tell myself that my "start over" would include pre-counting every last calorie/point prior to the day/event, and then coming home to overly scrutinize in hindsight. I'm sorry, I know that works for some, but I can't be that person. There has to be SOME KIND of happy medium between constantly feeling like I'm "dieting" and the polar opposite, which is binging. If I GIVE UP every time I go out to dinner or attend a family function, this will never ever last. Really happy to see a loss today though.

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment

7/26 - 177.6
Yesterday was my first day (evening) of IF and it was hard, since I came home hungry from two hours of tracking (read following dogs following scent over uneven ground), but I stuck it out. I know my urge to eat is mostly the bad habit I’ve gotten into, and that the first week or so will be the hardest. So all good! DHs birthday today and he wants Mexican, and cake, but that’s ok, I still won’t go over goals if I stop at 6:30! 😁

7/27 - 177.8
DH birthday finished, and not too bad—only 40 over calorie goal. Lots more salt than usual, but I can flush that out. And I did stop eating at 6:20. So day 2 of IF accomplished.

7/28 - 177.6
I went off the wagon last night—I came home from tracking around 8:30 and was really hungry and a little shaky, so I ate a piece of Dave’s Good Seed Thin toasted with natural peanutbutter. I’m not sure this IF is going to work for me, at least not every day. Maybe I’ll try intermittent intermittent fasting! 😁

7/29 - 177.6
Ate well yesterday and got two and a half hours of walking during tracking training last night. I talk about tracking so much, I thought I’d share a couple of pics of Rory tracking on Monday evening. He’s following the trail of another person—sort of like you see on cop shows, but this is a sport for titles. I hope I don’t bore you with dog pics—it’s one of my main sources of exercise, so semi-relevant!

7/30 - 178.2
Friday nights are my downfall for some reason. I had an emotional eating binge. Oh, well. At least my metabolism won’t think it’s starving! Happy Saturday!

7/31 - 178.2
Still dealing with my Friday night splurge, but that’s ok, I was back on track yesterday and today is planned. Have a lovely Sunday!

07/30 -202.6- (Trend weight 201.4) Trying to stay calm and understand my medical reports and appt schedule on my online portal. One report says arrive 9:00 am Monday and surgery is at 11:00 am. Another report says I have a phone call appt with anesthest (can’t spell it) at 1:40 on Monday (2 ½ hrs after surgery) so I’m confused. The telephone appointment never came thru Friday so is surgery a different day and phone call appt Mon (that never came Friday) correct?. Of course, it’s the weekend now so I can’t reach anyone directly. It’s about a 3 hour drive and I would have to leave Monday before any of the offices are open to call. I have no idea what to do but I will call cardiology office and leave weekend message and hope they get it in time. Stress anyone? Also, so much going on here on the homefront not related but ultra-high stress. No, let me make that ULTRA ULTRA high stress. Trying to stay calm in all the storms but I am Type A afterall.

07/31 -201.6- (Trend weight 201.4) I’ll be spending the day setting up my first of the month bills, cleaning up the house a bit and packing. I hate things hanging over my head so I’m glad this is happening quickly. I will try to keep up with the posts and will keep you updated as I can. Thanks so much to you all for the many many well wishes, prayers, good vibes, wonderful thoughts and many helpful tips. You folks are the best friend a girl could ever have!

@deepwoodslady Praying for you and sending one of my favorite Bible verses. Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anyhing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26: 131.6 - A little surprised by the slight drop. The day started with a lot of carbs as I was baking for an upcoming event. I was also super sleepy and tired in the afternoon, but did motivate myself enough to do both of my workouts. Dinner was a frittata to counteract all of the carbs.
7/27: 132.7 - Pizza night last night as well as some more baking to take to our new neighbors. Got my Jazzercise workout in but didn’t have much time for my normal walk other than a quick trip around the block.
7/28: 131.8 - Late workout and early-ish dinner and poor sleep. A few of my neighbor ladies and I have a crocheting get-together every week or so. Mostly it’s about the wine and the camaraderie since we’re all complete novices. We’re making the most expensive and ugly sweater!
7/29: 133.2 - Made fresh grilled salsa from tomatoes one of our neighbors gifted us. Since it contains no oil, all the calories are coming from the chips! Oh well. Got my workout in early, but had a little bit of evening snacking.
7/30: 132.9 - Late workout and late dinner. Slept well.
7/31: 132.9 - Went over a bit in calories as I wasn’t keeping track of my sampling during baking and we had take out. Got both my workouts in though and great sleep.
8/1: -
8/2: -
8/3: -
8/4: -

Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: + 0.4 pounds
