100 days of weighing - part 14

@dawnbgethealthy I am all done at the dentist for the work I was getting done. However, Jan 10th (I think) is when I go back for my 4 month cleaning and the work under the crown. That may be two appointments. However, I am so relieved this part is done!

I do love Thai food. When I went to the rehab yesterday, it was in the city with the Thai food place. I brought back a dinner. I ate part last night for dinner and I will eat the other half for lunch or dinner today. Red Curry with Chicken. It is truly one of the ways I can sneak in some of those veggies without gagging because everything tastes the same (curry). I consider it one of my healthy meals. I do try to increase water due to the famous sodium.

Yesterday I picked up a fast food breakfast and kept it in my car for between appts. My first appt was a cholestrol lipid panel blood draw which is done fasting (yikes no coffee all morning and driving!). Then I headed to the hospital parking lot to eat the small breakfast I had picked up, before starting the rehab appt. I could not have went that long without food, especially not knowing what physical activity we would be having. Gotta watch missed meals with diabetes! I skipped lunch in town and just picked up the Thai food for later. So I did have restaurant food twice yesterday, but I did try to limit it and watch my choices.

As this rehab moves along, I think I will only get better and better at my plan and choices on those days.

Goal This Round: 181.2
Starting Weight (from End of Last Challenge): : 196.2

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

WEEK 2 LOSS OR GAIN: +0.6 lb GAIN
Accumulated Loss or Gain: +2.2 lb GAIN


Day 15-12/10-198.4-(Trend weight 197.9) I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that there was no change after travel, restaurant, lots of extra sitting, and lack of the water pill yesterday. I take this as a win! I really watched my portion sizes especially since most of the food was not in plan. The rehab was mainly paperwork. Interesting that they also will train me in nutrition improvements (for the heart healthy), stress management, depression or anxiety issues and so much more than just physical exercise that will be allowed. I went on a treadmill for 15 minutes to get my current safe level with the EKG on and tolerated it well. It was not super fast but a starting point. Otherwise, the whole 2 hours was paperwork and surveys.


Day 16-12/11-198.2-(Trend weight 197.9) A good day for the most part yesterday but not much movement. 3 meals and a questionable snack. I spent most of the day wrapping presents and I’m not done yet. A friend visited for awhile. It was a quiet day. I will unexpectedly be traveling today if the roads are cleaned up from the snow. A package came in to a department store that I was hoping to pick up earlier in the week when I was at the dentist. So I hope to go get it, and do a little more shopping while in the medium sized city. I’ll be thoughtful for my choices for dinner. I need to get the numbers back down. No TMI this morning so the small drop today was appreciated but I’m feeling a little greedy.

WEEK 3 LOSS OR GAIN:

@deepwoodslady

I am not sure when Easter is, but yes, I would like to lose a minimum of 10 pounds by then.
Yes, I am shorter than you two, but I have about 30 pounds more to lose to be at a healthy weight. Even the sleeves of my tops are tight right now. Going for my first little skate today, I had a sore knee at the end of last season and have been battling a sore ankle over the past several weeks, so we'll see how I do.

I saw an HGTV on Grass Lake Michigan last night. Have you been there? We went so many places in Michigan as I was growing up. So many beautiful places in your State!

Could anybody post the full 100 dates that I could copy and paste from each week?

Thank you @threewins for keeping us going : - )

Well, the last 100 didn't turn out very well for me, gained around 5 pounds.

1st Week Goal Weight - 139.9
1st Week Actual Weight - 141.2 Started the week at 142.2
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4738 - average over 7 days 834

Day 08 - 12/04 - 143.0
Day 09 - 12/05 - 144.6
Day 10 - 12/06 - 143.2 - I kept track, but didn't get a chance to get on the forums until now. My eating and exercise has been on point, hoping to see a drop soon. Working out of town today, so steps will be lower than when I am at the restaurant.
Day 11 - 12/07 - 141.8 - Split shifts the next 2, so late night eating which I know is very bad but unavoidable or I don't get enough calories in. I have a feeling that this is a big contributor to my 10 pound gain?
Day 12 - 12/08 - 142.4 - I normally have to go to my other job when I have my 2 hours off between my split shifts, but it is a light week with Foster Grant, and I came home. I ate a meal at 3:15. Normally meals (as opposed to snacks) make me tired and I have to keep going. It didn't make me tired, but by 8:30 I was hungry again. I ate yet another meal when I got home from work. It was an experiment I guess. When I am not working in the evenings I like to have dinner sometime between 6 and 7, when working in the evenings it could be as late as 11pm. It is what it is, not good for my weight I am sure. I have another split shift today, I don't think that I will try to eat a meal during my break, we'll see. Yo-yoing like usual, I would rather the yo-yoing were back in the 130s.
Day 13 - 12/09 - 141.2 - Up and down. I need to try to have a very careful day for this to not balloon back. Normally Fridays are my indulgent day though...
Day 14 - 12/10 - 142.2 - Ate a Jamaican Beef Pattie and chicken nuggets for dinner. Yummy, but high calories for sure, maybe not very healthy.

2nd Week Goal Weight - 141.0
2nd Week Actual Weight - 142.2 - Started the week at 143.0
Excess calories burned (in the green): Forgot to add this earlier - 4948 = 706.85 average over 7 days. I get barely any steps on the weekends usually, but I get so many in during the workweek. My pedometre is still set on my 130lb body, so I likely burn even more than it is reporting for the walking portion of my calorie burns. Still doing at least 3 Fitness Marshall-esque 3 minute songs to loosen up my joints and engage my muscles for the day. I get in a lot more bouts of that here and there over the weekend. My pledge to myself Tuesday to Friday this coming week is to get out into the forest for at least 15 minutes on my breaks, going to try to bang off my Foster Grant jobs on Monday after my 11-3:15 at the restaurant, I have to get to one of them quickly to catch the Optical Manager for a small reset and piece count together, so no forest walk Monday. Sunday I will get in a little walking and will skate for the first time this season at an arena (lakes so far not too good for skating, they froze with snow on them so lots of big almost like rocks all over).

Day 15 - 12/11 - 142.4 - I feel like my weight came down a little because I only had to work late for 2 of my 5 shifts last week. This coming week I have 4 of them. Even when my calories are on point, the late night dinners I think are adding to weight gain. It is what it is.

It has been a lot of travel and sitting. Traveling again today for my first “real” cardiac rehab. That should get me moving!

So you will go once per week for 12 weeks? How long are the appointments?
I look forward to hearing about the type of things that you are doing there.

@dawnbgethealthy I go twice a week for 12 weeks. They have some basic machines but I'm only on each one for about 10 minutes at this point, and at very slow low levels. I wear an EKG. They will probably slowly increase me if my heart tolerates it well. Lots of education. They said it would be about 90 minutes to 2 hours but my first real appointment yesterday was only an hour. Yesterday was a treadmill and an arm wheel machine and a regular exercise bike. 10 minutes each.

Days and days of travel and being away from home has not allowed me to take my waterpill. Today is a local hair appointment for color that will keep me in a chair for nearly 3 hours. No pill again unless I take it after 3:00 pm and I don’t want to be up all night. Tomorrow is travel and cardiac rehab again. Good news? Cardiologist called and my cholesterol is great. I know it’s not my diet. They upgraded me from 10 mg. of meds to 80 mgs of meds after my stent surgery. But the meds are working for me. Since I’ll be near home today my diet should be on point.


Day 19-12/14-198.8-(Trend weight 198.1) Time to turn this nightmare ship around. Superbloat and indulgences do not a success make. Travel again today for rehab. UGH…..

I’ll be out of breath, but the calorie burn will likely be higher today. Hopefully tomorrow’s scale weight should show that.
