Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 196

musicsax · August 2022

@deepwoodslady - so sorry to hear you have yet another problem, you don't need all these, you have enough as it is, they just keep stacking up, your run of bad luck must stop soon surely? And you are keeping your head up, sending you lots of hugs and willing things to become better/easier for you xx

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 196 ( my 128th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in 4 weeks! 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.

SW: 139.4
Day/Weight/Comment
8/15 139.4 – 7.98 miles walked yesterday & it was HOT !!!! Maybe in hindsight we shouldn't have gone during the middle of the day, but we kept hydrated. 2/3 exercise calories eaten back, need to get back to not eating many back!!
8/16 138.8 – 11.87 miles walked yesterday, 10 degrees cooler than yesterday! We so much need some rain, the gardens are desperate!! I have been watering with a watering can out of the rain butt, I drained the last dregs out of that last night!! It keeps being forecast, but I've been able to count the odd few spots that have fell !!! ¾ exercise calories eaten back.
8/17 137.8 – 8..63 miles walked, certainly not as hot, much more bearable, in fact a very pleasant temperature ! And lots of rain for the gardens. A third of calories eaten back; that's better and it shows on the scales.
8/18 138.2 - 11.8 miles walked, 5/8 exercise calories eaten back.
8/19 137.6 – no structured walking; childcare for 2 little DGS & 1.5 hour each way commute, but it's worth it to spend precious time with them.
8/20 DNW - away for the weekend in our caravan & forgot to pack the scales ?. No structured walking cuz we had some work done in the house & then a 2 hour journey. 169 calories over.
8/21 DNW - 8.74 miles walked. 146 calories over; cider at lunchtime & gin with tea! Little DGS#1 had sleep over with us in the caravan, after he fell out of bed during the night I slept very slightly listening out in case he did it again!! Taking him home later today and then we travel back home too.
8/22 136.4 – happy with that figure after not weighing for a couple of days. No structured walking for reasons above, hence 240 calories over.

ROUND 188-SW 179.2, ROUND 189-SW 180.2, ROUND 190-SW ?, ROUND 191-SW 174.4,

ROUND 193-SW 179.6, ROUND 194-SW 179.2, ROUND 195-SW 172.4

8/5: 172.4 not a bad place to start the challenge

8/6: 171.8 weight is "pre" everything. i usually weigh in after i've had coffee and water. haven't had coffee or water yet this morning, so i'm figuring i'm at least a solid 172 lbs.

8/7: 172.4

8/8: 171.8

8/9: 171.4 i am actually getting excited to see the 160's. maybe by round 197??? what an accomplishment that would be!

8/10: 171.8 had 1/2 a blueberry muffin from sams club yesterday. had the other 1/2 this morning. i knew i shouldn't have, but who can just leave a muffin top just sitting there!

8/11: 171.4 that muffin sent me on a carbohydrate binge. exceeded calories and days was primarily carbs and fat, very little protein. my indiscretions always takes a few days before they surface. wish it was cooler, i might have been able to walk a little bit of that off. this summer has been miserably hot. diet diligence for the rest of the challenge!

8/12: 170.2 the loss has confused me. after the carb. binge, i have mostly been eating fruits and vegetables. i did also have chicken wings, which i think i mis-calculated nutrition on (on the higher side) so i probably had way less calories than is healthy.

8/13: 172.6 and there is it.... my carbohydrate binge taking its vengeance on me.

8/14: 171.8

ROUND 196
SW: 171.8

Day/Weight/Comment

8/15: 171.8 I've seen this number so frequently, i shouldn't be surprised (and i'm not).

8/16: 172.2 not sure if this is from not drinking enough yesterday, or if it's because i've already eaten scrambled eggs and tomatoes

8/17: 172.2, 171.4, 171.2 take your pick. these are the options my scale gave me all within 1/2 hours time with no variable. do the spring scales do the same thing? ...back on topic....ate a maintain amount of calories yesterday, but it was high in carbs (ramen noodles). i did get to finally go for my walk! not as epic as the exclamation point implies. it was just a mile, but weight loss rate.

8/18: 171.2 good calories, good macros, and a good 2 mile walk

8/19: 171

8/20: 170.4 since i usually weigh myself before i eat, and i have already eaten today this weight is probably just more nonsense my scale is spitting out.

8/21: 171 over calories yesterday even with getting my walk in. seems like i do this at least once every challenge and always promise to correct myself.

8/22: 171.2 very disappointed with how i'm doing this round. reading my notes back, i should have been expecting such a poor result.

8/22 - 158.8 - Super bloated. Day with Godkids was a blast but we did all the things they wanted and ended up eating out for both lunch and dinner. I tried to make the healthiest choices other than salad (which are delicious but I know I will be horribly hungry within an hour and a half). Despite my best efforts, eating out does typically involve a ton of sodium...sigh....But, I logged my food, tried to stay active and moving through the day and that's all I can do. I also drank a TON of water. 90oz from my normal water cup plus water at the restaurants I didn't even attempt to log. I'm up for a rowing workout and maybe some yoga this morning. Woke up mid-dream again so definitely having a Monday morning: slow getting started. Drinking my little electrolyte+energy water to get me moving while I type this and then off we go. No idea what lunch and dinner hold, but I'm determined to make some good decisions.

Previous Day's Comments

8/15 - No hugs needed. Not quite enough water. Think BF and I ate something bad Saturday night as all day yesterday both of us complained of stomach cramps and pain. Dinner was carb-filled chicken alfredo with homemade cheesy bread sticks which didn't help anything but at least I got some food in the cranky stomach. My entire abdomen feels like rock hard abs but its ball-shaped haha At least today there's no cramping or pain so now I'm waiting for my body to recover from whatever it is causing the bloat. Definitely focusing on water today to help push along recovery. Woke up and got in a solid 20 minute hard rowing workout that left me dripping in sweat. I usually glisten or sparkle, but it was hard enough to make me actually drip sweat in my eyes. Not bad for a Monday morning coming from a girl who is NOT a morning person. Finished it off with a 15 minute flexibility Yoga With Adriene practice as I'm still dealing with a little stiffness and soreness in the hammies from last week's sprints. Not sure dinner and I didn't go grocery shopping this weekend so I'm low on fruits/veg. I have a few frozen items that can hold me over on lunches, though, and some leftover chopped bell pepper and strawberries. Will make a plan to stock up on frozen "emergency" fruits/veg next time I go to the store since our new freezer has proven itself to keep things very much frozen.
8/16 - Alright, here we go! Behaved well yesterday food-wise after all that hard work on the rower first thing. Glad to see this weight coming back down. Tummy is feeling back to normal after yesterday. Still a tad bloated, but no pain or discomfort from it. Unfortunately, my usual Monday morning sluggishness caught up to me and I slept straight through my alarm this morning! Didn't wake up until 2 minutes after I usually hop on the computer (other than any meetings, its flexible. Core hours are 9am-3pm and I choose how I want to make up the remainder of my 9hour work day. So not "late" per se, but late to my own self-set schedule). Obviously, no workout due to that. Will see how things go this evening and take the pup for a walk. I set an extra alarm tomorrow to be sure I don't miss another morning workout and I've even planned the workout already so there's no reason not to do it! Lunch is planned out and unsure dinner but it's TacoTuesday in the house so I'm sure it'll be some type of Mexican-inspired fare. At least it's homemade and I can generally account for everything in the food log.
8/17 - Not bad for having enchiladas! I definitely expected to be up more from that. Maybe that 30 minute walk (1.75mi up and down hills) with the pup offset more than I thought. I've read somewhere that walking after a meal helps kickstart digestion. Anyone have any insight on that? My mind was so paranoid about sleeping through another alarm, apparently, that I woke up several times between 2:44am and my actual alarm. Feeling a bit sluggish, but I'm up on time. Drinking my electrolyte water and typing this to give myself a few minutes to wake up before hitting the rower for my pre-planned workout. BF wants to make chicken fajitas tonight so I need to run to the store during my lunch break which will also give me a chance to stock up on some healthier lunch items and snacks to get me through. At least fajitas have some colorful veg and aren't as break-the-(calorie)-bank as enchiladas. Plus there's nothing like the extra NEAT from a big grocery haul (walking a giant store, pushing an awkward heavy cart (which are made for people over 6ft, I swear, the handle is almost up to my shoulders and I'm 5'5!), loading into the car and lugging the heavy bags in the house after). Alright, off to punish myself on this rower (ahaha just kidding, I'm treating myself. It seems like punishment right now but after I'll be happy I did it and feel so much better) EDIT TO ADD: I'm happier now. 10 minute easy row followed by a 5 minute moderate/hard interval done twice. Now to stretching!
8/18 - I'm very happy and a little surprised at this! I went to bed with a lot of bloat, my stomach was super hard and sticking out quite a bit. I was really discouraged at bedtime noticing that as I did my wind down (I take note of my body and relax from toes up to face one by one). Today it's less hard and more the usual squishy and the scale shows my body did some bloat reduction during sleep. I did hit snooze but I think that was more because I woke up from a dream and needed a few extra minutes to get myself moving rather than pop straight out of bed. Also I didn't have a workout planned and motivation is always super low in the mornings. So I know what I need now: have a workout plan or at least idea for the morning BEFORE I go to bed. Did a 20 minute rowing session including warm up and cool down followed by a digestion-focused yoga with Adriene for 10 minutes. Then a quick 5 min walk with the pup that got cut from the planned 10-15 minutes due to cows with their babies nearby (don't need them feeling threatened). Last night we switched around to grilled chicken leg quarters, grilled red potatoes, and green beans. Fam reached out because godkids want to see us and said fajitas tonight. We'll push our fajita plans to next week. Today I have leftover broccoli in cheese sauce (the frozen steam kind), some potatoes, and a leg quarter for lunch. I'll pre-log my fajitas to keep portions in line and base my portion for lunch off that to keep calories in line. Exercise is becoming consistent during the work week so now I need to start focusing on healthier food options and reigning in my portions a bit more to get this weight (fat) a-moving on out of here!
8/19 - A drop is still a drop. Last night involved 2 glasses of wine instead of the usual 1. I did hold myself to the portions I set out at the beginning of the day, though! Some adjustment had to be made because I didn't end up eating lunch at home before we left and ended up having to grab something at the bar/grill to hold me over instead, plus accounting for the wines. Before I put a single bite in my pie-hole, I logged it, though! Today's lunch will likely be yesterday's planned lunch. Unsure dinner at this point. Trying to come up with a workout idea right now for this morning as I'm dragging more than normal. I'm up, though, so I might as well get SOMETHING in movement wise, even if it's not the sweat-inducing intense kind. EDIT: I did a 20 minute easy "recovery" row. Stroke rate 18, steady pace, didn't try to over do it, just went through motions and still felt muscles working. Did get warm, but not sweaty. I'll take that. Work starts in 5 minutes so will find 10 minutes of other movement through the day (won't be hard to manage that)
8/20 - Whoot! My dedication to staying under calories and getting in those workouts paid off! Not sure plans today. I know tomorrow we are taking the godkids swimming and then out to eat like a little date day with just us and them before returning them to their grannas. Fam has a concert so they're out of town for the day. Hoping I can keep this downward trend going (or at least stalled and NOT a gain) through the weekend. I have a doctor's appointment on Friday next week and I know I'm about 10lbs heavier than I was at my last appointment. Oof. Hoping I can stay focused and lower the difference between appointments through the weekend and next week.

I am on vacation this week! Hopefully more activity this week as opposed to sitting in front of my computer!
8/16: 217
8/17: 214.9!
I got a new scale. After much deliberation I decided to go with this weight. My old scale said 217.5 three times this morning. The new scale said 214.9 three times this morning. So the only thing I had was a 10 pound bag of cat food to calibrate. The old scale said “error” when I weighed the cat food and the new scale said 10.1 pounds. Since I will be using the new scale from here on out, I went with the new scale reading.
8/18: 214.9
8/19: 213.9 I think all the swimming this week instead of sitting in front of my computer is showing up! 🏊‍♀️

Friends coming for tiny potluck tonight. Should be nice, eating in the garden.

8/16 - n/w
Dinner was lovely last night, and other than Ghirardelli brownies, all perfectly healthful food. It’s weird not weighing in every morning and not counting calories, but I am having DH record what I eat, I just don’t peek.

8/17 - n/w
I almost stepped on the scale this morning out of long habit, but caught myself. I’m sticking to the no-weigh-in routine to the end of the round. It’s a gorgeous day, so Rory and I are off to the park for a walk.

Funny, I remember writing yesterday but can’t find it. Maybe I hit Done instead of Post. I hate when I do that! Anyway, I seem to be doing ok not weighing in. I don’t think I’m over eating. I’ll find out in 5 more days. 😉

8/20 - n/w
Was up at 6 to track with a friend, and it was just lovely out—cool, and a beautiful sunrise. Now it’s pouring—good thing we went in the morning! Happy Saturday!

8/21 - n/w
It’s nice and wet outside with more rain on the way. Great morning for weeding and planting my new climbing rose. 😁 Have a lovely Sunday, all!

8/22 - n/w
Monday, Monday… it’s cool and overcast, and I’m off to obedience club to train (play with) Rory and teach a class. I’d rather stay in bed and read, but it is what it is. I have to say I’m looking forward to weighing in in the mornings, but this round has been an interesting experiment in not obsessing. Have a good one!

Goal for 2022-2023 Progress

CamandJarvis · August 2022

@deepwoodslady Oh my! You've certainly had a run and not a good one. I hope things begin to look up and calm down for you very very soon. Sending lots of hugs and positive vibes your way!

_JeffreyD_ · August 2022

Male: 65
6’-2”
OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016)
OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

Goals for this round:

1. Generally, show some semblance of discipline. Exercise more. Eat less.
2. Major Goal this round is to make even a little bit of progress toward my maintenance range.
3. Most Important….Resist mindless shoveling of food into my cake hole! This is a big one.

Round 196 Posts
Month/Day: Scale - First thing today before getting dressed, rounded to whole number.

8/15: 215
/Walk/ Glad to start a new round.

Managed to complete the weekend without ignoring goal number 3. Huge!

8/16: 214
/walking/ Happy to say I have been logging and winning the mind battle with food the past few days. The war continues.

8/17: 213
/not a blasted thing/ busy all day yesterday with work and Dr appointment. Starting (just starting mind you) to get back to enjoying the feeling that I am hungry (First World Hungry, not really hungry.) This has been essential to progress for me in the past.

When I gain weight, I usually let my eyes decide (see food diet) if I am going to eat it, not my hunger/common sense.

8/18: 214
/nothing again/ Today is 43 Anniversary with DW!

8/19: 216
/walking/ This bump-up expected after yesterday’s food fest. Topped off with DW making chex-mix for our neighbor last night. I had to do some quality control monitoring. 😊 it was exquisite. Hello salty water gain.

Since I round up and down, the actual gain was less than 2#.

8/20: 214
/mowing/ I will take it.

8/21:213
/walking between rain drops and cleaning garage/ Garage cleaning involved a bit of functional lifting. 😊

8/22: 213
/fishing aboard “the Kraken” yesterday/ lots of movement involved in an afternoon of fishing. Maybe not as much as MFP says I can log. (Woke up exhausted this morning.) The good news, I was very focused on fishing and not jamming food into the cake hole.

8/20 - DNW, missed all non-scale goals. Was at my mom's house and went to the West Virginia State Fair. Tried to kind of watch my intake but didn't worry too much about it.
8/21 - DNW, missed all non-scale goals except fasting I guess. I felt sick all day, nauseated with tummy issues and couldn't eat a bite of food.
8/22 - 133.2. Tired from being feverish and aching all night, otherwise feeling better. Not trying to fast today since I just did a 36ish hour fast due to my illness. I may do a low impact Peloton ride today but mostly I want to sleep.

I’m back! I had a great time at the retreat hanging out with my gal pals and I actually got some small projects done. I’m up 2.5 since Thursday which isn’t as bad as I expected it would be. So much carb/sugar/calorie laden food and so little protein! Unfortunately, I have vertigo today. I will try to catch up on reading the 7 pages of messages that I have missed and post the link to Round 197.

8/15 - 170.4 - 7,500/15 Weighed in after shower wet hair. Last week was a busy not a lot of walking week. SO has headed back to work for a few days so I can get back at it. Hoping for some good water loss as I am a little bloated.
8/16 - 166.2 - 23,300/164. Nice to see that drop, water weight as expected. Dinner out tonight will see what results bring in the morning, plus I'll have no time for a long weekend walk!! Looks like SO is away until the weekend, I'll get some evening walks in.
8/17 - 165.1 - 19.600/137. Dinner out with my boys girlfriends, just us as all the boys are working my SO out of town and my sons working nights. Taco salad and cheesecake and still a loss!!
8/18 - 163.6 - 28,300/182. Some after work shopping and a late evening walk.
8/19 - 162.7 - 27,700/201. Busy weekend ahead. Won't get much walking in but I may be able to squeeze in some small ones. SO arrived home and is here for a few days, Hooray! We have a family get together and it's nice he can attend. Dentist for me today ugghh ... Happy Friday
8/20 - 162.2 - 17,600/107. Worked a couple of hours, went to the dentist. Then SO took me on a hike. Lots of elevation and it was warm out. He didn’t have the best time. I bribed him with ice cream (sorry dentist!) I had a great day. Family thing tonight with lots of food and drink, see where the numbers fall in the morning.

8/21 - 164.5 - 21,700/120 BBQ last night super fun and got up did a 12K walk.
8/22 - 166.1 - 9,864/45. Lazy day numbers creeping up from BBQ. A little bloated, feeling squishy lol. SO left for work this morning, possible he will be home for the weekend but you never know. Weather is forecasted for hot hot hot means for a later walk, hopefully!

08/21 -200.0- (Trend weight 200.2) Teetering on Onederland. Well, if you guys haven’t already heard enough about my problems, here goes a big one. Handymen were messing around in the electrical box in the basement while trying to hook up new drop in stove. The ignitor is electric tho the stove is gas. Now over half of my house doesn’t work. All the main floor is down except the bathrooms which each have one plug. Well pump stopped working too, so no water again. My part-time neighbor was next door and my handymen said we could feed my house with low level pressure water through garden hoses off our spickets to bring running water to faucets and toilets in my house (called backwashing) and neighbor said okay. So I can flush but not shower unless I want it cold. I ran an extension cord to the bathroom for my breathing machine last night. There is a plug upstairs that seems to be okay so son slept up there last night and DD & DGS stayed at boyfriend’s. Today is Sunday, I’m in the middle of nowhere with no real skilled tradesmen in the area and this old house has decided it’s not waiting any longer on the electrical upgrades. It’s spooky. The microwave is beeping on and off. The phone base. Not enough power to run the TV. Computer comes on if I unplug the fridge in the other room but I have to baby it. I am hearing the electrical surges run through the computer speakers. Oh, and the birthday party of my DGD is out-of-town today (not to mention the wedding in less than 2 weeks). Now I am going to go in the bathroom where I made coffee and hope it generated enough heat to get the coffee hot. No wonder my heart is giving out! Sorry to unload like this (yet again), but please ya’ll, count your blessings, pray for me and help me count mine!

08/22 -200.0- (Trend weight 200.2) Well, I missed my DGD’s birthday. The electricians showed up quickly and worked until 11:45 pm at night to get the problem solved which was a whole new electrical box with an upgraded service. Something I was going to do anyway, so why not tie it all up neatly with a bow at once? Grateful for electricity and grateful for water today. My weight, my trend weight and my fat % is exactly the same as yesterday and I was surprised to see that because it was a model day. However, I realized that I did not take the heart-healthy water pill (because of the birthday party) so I probably have fluid built up. Also, I was stuck in the house all day with electricians and stuck sitting in the dark for several hours last night so exercise of any kind was out the window. Slept well though when they finally left. I was exhausted! I’m ready to lose some weight my friends!

8/19 208.8 Well that’s interesting. I was over my calories yesterday, mainly because I’m drinking a lot of orange juice. Didn’t do much but sit in a chair and cough and sneeze. Feeling better today but still have a fever, will be doing much of the same as yesterday. Husband is over it and daughter seems to have a very mild case.

Awe @eaper64 reading your post made me so sad. Give yourself grace. Maintenance is truly a win, I too need to work on recognizing that more. Besides you did better than that! You’re down more than half a pound! Chin up buttercup, we’re here for you.

JbeanR0212 · August 2022

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15: 132.1 - Had a busy day yesterday - my Jazzercise workout was interrupted half-way through by a phone call so ended up doing a another whole workout on demand. Then I rode my bicycle for the first time in a long time downtown to check out Art in the Park with DH, but I don’t think I earned enough calories to counteract the 350 calorie cup of very delicious ice cream with that ride. C’est la vie. Stayed under calories overall.
8/16: 132.5 - Got my Jazzercise workout in before the heat, but didn’t go out for my walk. Was also trying to do some meal prep earlier in the day, but ended up still having to turn on the oven late in the afternoon - ugh. We have a tile and grout person coming today to re-do some of our grout, which means I can’t use a large part of our kitchen, laundry room and one of our bathrooms for 24 hours.
8/17: 132.3 - Actually went to Jazzercise in person for the first time in awhile. I usually either do it live virtually or on demand, and it was a lot of fun to see some familiar faces. The rest of the day was low-key since we had someone in to do the grout for a large part of the day. Super hot day yesterday so most of it was spent trying to stay cool/hydrated.
8/18: 132.3 -Normal workout plus a couple of games of pickle ball (one word or two?). This is my second time playing and my streak is in tact - I’ve lost every single game that I’ve played! :-). It was a fun little gathering on my friend’s driveway that she conveniently has enough room to put down the court lines. Quick dinner and then transitioned to hosting my neighborhood ladies that I crochet with. We are all complete novices and are watching youtube to learn how to make a sunflower square sweater. We’ve all concluded that if we actually get to enough squares to make a sweater, they will be the world’s most expensive ugly sweater.
8/19: 133.8 - Mini-binge and drinking wine two nights in a row are not helping my maintenance effort.
8/20: 133.6 -
8/21: 133.4 - Hmm forgot to post yesterday, but I did record my weight. Lots of baking yesterday meant that I did’t have time to get a real walk in, but did do my Jazzercise workout first thing.
8/22: 133.6 - Pizza dinner at a local park for the group we volunteer for. Pre-logged, so did okay there. Walked there and back, although it wasn’t all that far.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15 / 165.2 / Got up and walked my dog before work while the temperatures were still cool. Had a tough work from home day as the Internet was poor in my area today. Managed to get through and now I'll ride the Peloton before supper.
8/16 / 164.4 / Had a great Peloton ride last night and made lots of healthy food for supper and meals today. Had a smoothie for breakfast this morning which I haven't done in forever. Feeling good!
8/17 / 164.6 / My day was busy at work so I missed my lunch time walk. I have to go to the dentist shortly so I'm going to have to get my steps in before bed.
8/18 / 166.8 / Got my walk in before bed last night and hit 10K steps. Today I have to walk to the doctor and back at lunch so my steps should be decent by the time I get home from work. Quiet night planned as I'm off tomorrow hoping my hot air balloon ride finally goes ahead.. weather is looking right for it but if it does the meeting time is before 6 a.m.
8/19 / 167.8 / Hot air balloon ride was an absolutely outstanding experience. We also had time to go bike riding in the mountains. Really made the most of our day off.
8/20 / 166.8 / We are at the lake today. I am on call for work so I had to set an alarm.. feeling super tired after yesterday's big day. Our trailer neighbors have our dog as they looked after her for the day while we were out adventuring but they'll be up soon.. can't wait to see her (and them!)
8/21 / 167.8 / Took a big recovery day yesterday as I was super zonked from our activities Friday. We spent the day at the lake visiting with our lovely trailer neighbors who are dear friends. Good for the soul. Today hasn't been active yet either but we're about to take our dog out for a walk.
8/22 / 164.8 / Movement has been low the last two days so I'm planning to make sure I hit my minimum of 10K steps today. I got out for my first walk on my lunch hour.
