GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 213

Round 213
February 1 - 10, 2023

61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

Harry and Han are our cats, who come with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, and a DGS. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

My goal for round 213? To make it through these 10 days without regret. I start in Mass trying to pack and getting home and family in order. Leaving for 3 months is more like a move than a vacation. I have to go through every aspect of my life and transport those items to this other home so life there continues on normally. I then have 22 hours of car riding in two days, followed my time in MIL’s home, and then a final 4 hour drive. Then it is the unpacking and putting my life in order until I repeat the process going north in 3 months. My husband yesterday asked when will there ever be less stuff be going in the car. My reply was when we start flying instead. :P

So, exercise will not start until I make it to the Keys. But once there, my goal is to work on my exercise habits so that they are re-established and will continue when I get back to Mass in May. As for the road trip, I am planning out my meals and pretracking. I did this in 2021 when I was with you all and it worked great. Trying to decide if I will smuggle my scale in the suitcase or not, or just accept three DWI in a row. At least it would be in the middle of the round. We will find out this weekend, won’t we? :P

Day/Weight/Comment

2/1 – 143.0 Last night, I was crazy hungry later in the evening. Calories had been on target for the day (I aim for 1443 – don’t remember how I set that number way back when). I decided that I was too hungry and made a thoughtful decision to add an 80 calorie parmesan snack, and a fifth of an open candy bar. Brought me up to 1591. I kind of glad that I have had some section of this process without exercise as I am getting to see little hints of where my baseline might be.

Hi All - Robyn here from Virginia Beach. I'll be doing strength workouts only for the most part during this round while continuing to recover from foot surgery. My primary goals are: 1) no after-dinner-snacking; 2) to eat dinner by 8 p.m., and; 3) to lose weight during this round. I've gained during the last two rounds (+1.4 lbs.).

@quiltingjaine Your keto statement has intrigued me. Do you mind sharing a couple of typical days of your diet?

Day/Weight/Comment
01/31 …..194.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

02/01 -194.6- (Trend weight 196.7) Travel was cancelled yesterday so I went to the school and walked for almost 50 minutes. It was more interesting than the treadmill at home. I also visited my older friend who is having a birthday. I stopped and got her a Chocolate Mocha Frappe’ to enjoy and only got myself a black coffee. I am very proud of myself for that but I knew I didn’t deserve anything more after yesterday’s fiasco. I’m proud of myself for resisting. Travel today.

/ logged all; no exercise/ Food exceeded budget yesterday, mainly because I picked up my venison salami from the locker yesterday. Had to sample it! 😊 So good, and, it is salty. I have plenty so I need to share it.

In other news I am retired as of January 1, 2023! Still planning to log a few part time hours doing admin things and being an ambassador for the firm.

(Too much information warning) And more other news, I am having a prostate removal surgery a week from today. Getting that “C-word” out of my body! I am not planning on filling you all in with ongoing fine details of the procedure or the recovery. But, I want to mention it here so you can pray that the doctor gets a good night’s sleep the night before. 😊 Thanks.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment"
2/1: 165.2 Tested positive for Covid last night. Not expecting too much movement in the next few days, but my fridge is ready for easy to grab veggie most options so I think I will be okay with diet. I realize I am not missing booze as much as I was in the beginning of this, I don't even really think about unwinding with a glass of wine or beer most days anymore. I still think of it some days, but must less frequently. The weird thing Is I don't feel much different without it. I thought I would feel more hydrated and energized and I don't. Then again, I am sick so there is that. I need to make sure I keep up with my water. I have a routine when I am working--12 oz on my way to work, 24 oz during work, 12 oz on my way home, 24 oz from coming home to bed time. Being home messes up my routine and water also makes me cold, which isn't desirable when I have the chills. But I will do my best.

Hello again friends!! Happy February!! Looking forward to another great 10 days! I'm so glad I found this again last round, I'm already finding it becoming an integral part of my morning routine to sit down and assess what happened yesterday so I can move forward good or bad. I've never been a journaller, this is as close as I get

2/01 - 181.4 - I might end up here for a few days as TOM showed up early yesterday (thank you Peri Menopause for the unpredictable cycle). Still hate the snow and cold...only let the doggo drag me out for a 20 minute walk, the windchill is wicked this week. I need to start motivating myself to do something else on top of a walk when I hate the weather...we have an elliptical and my boys have a small area with weights. I used to do some pretty intense kettle bell work outs 5 plus years ago but stopped when I messed up my shoulder, I should start that back up again as well....sigh....

Day, Weight, Comment
2/01 - 163.0 - I'm happy with that tiny little drop. I cut it really close on calories yesterday and was honestly worried I'd be up again. Today will be another day which staying in calories will bring a challenge. I've already eaten breakfast since dinner was suuuuuper early and I was beginning to feel nauseous. Yoga this morning, just 15 minute easy morning wakeup practice. Will need to really pay attention to my watch's reminders to get up and move. And then move extra today. Not only to keep warm, but to give myself a little wiggle room in calorie department. Will see if BF wants to make chicken noodle or chicken and dumplings tonight for something cozy.

In other news I am retired as of January 1, 2023! Still planning to log a few part time hours doing admin things and being an ambassador for the firm.

(Too much information warning) And more other news, I am having a prostate removal surgery a week from today. Getting that “C-word” out of my body! I am not planning on filling you all in with ongoing fine details of the procedure or the recovery. But, I want to mention it here so you can pray that the doctor gets a good night’s sleep the night before. 😊 Thanks.

1. Congratulations on (quasi)retirement! Don't you dare get too bored now (:
2. Please keep us updated, at least generally, on your journey with that cursed "C-word" and surgery. I was wondering how that was coming along during your hiatus from us.

Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 213/4.
I love these 10 days at a time rounds! Very doable. Better than a week as you tend to follow the same up and downs per week and it doesn't always show your progress. Also being able to refocus after 10 days is great! Thank you @quiltingjaine for hosting these challenges!

I'm in! I can't figure out how to edit my previous comment or maybe I can't

Goal: Consistency (tracking calories, working out, and lowering carbs.)

Round 213

Hi all! Starting back with these challenges. I’m a Mom of 2, in my 40s, and just diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Trying to make some healthy changes.
OSW: 215.5
213 SW: 211.8
GW: 165

2/1 – 210.5 – Looks like I shed a lot of water weight yesterday. The new thyroid meds and low-sodium diet have been helping me regulate my water levels. Thyroid patients tend to retain a lot of water. Today is elliptical day for exercise.

2/1- 183.8 back to normal yesterday with eating schedule, calories and exercise. Nice little whoosh. Today the calories will be tricky. I have lunch out with girlfriends at a fantastic little restaurant. It’s hard to order a salad at a place known for fried chicken. I have to study the menu this morning so I have a plan in place. I know it will be a calorie bomb but i can keep it in control.

Great you are thinking ahead! Once you plan, track it!!! I'm facing a complicated next 5 days. I have actually already planned and tracked through next Monday. Might I go off course?? Yes, but then I can look at the plan and figure out how to adjust. I had to do that today, helping my parents at assisted living. I planned a lunch, and had no opportunity. Came home starving. Shifting things about, but the day will work. Good luck!!
