4/12 – 140.0 lbs – Okay, I am 1.8 lbs less than I was at the start of the last round, so #winning. I am also 17.6 lbs lower than I was when I started doing these 10-day challenges on January 13th, almost exactly 3 months ago. Apparently doing things in 10-day increments is really helpful for me! Thanks @quiltingjaine! 😊 Yesterday was a disaster, calorie wise, which included giving up on logging in MFP, eating Chinese food for dinner, followed by an ice-cream cone from Laura Secord in the mall. When I got most of the way through the cone, as always, I started to feel sick (due to gastric bypass). I told hubby this, and he urged me stop eating and throw the cone in the garbage so I didn’t feel even worse. I said no and quickly went to gobble up the rest of the ice-cream but at the same time he lunged for the cone and grabbed it out of my hand. LOL! Hilariously people were watching and probably think I am an abused wife. In reality I am a dumb wife who insists on consistently eating ice-cream even though it makes me violently ill! It’s only been 18 years since I got gastric bypass, I am still learning! 😉 I have to go to Toronto today so I don’t think I’ll get all my steps in, unfortunately. I put a note in my phone to go walk at lunch, so that should help a bit. I better get my butt in gear. Have a great day, folks!
4/13 – 139.6 lbs - Train to Toronto. Walked at lunch. Subway for dinner. Took the dog to the beach after work – I think it was his first time ever seeing a beach or a lake and he was pretty timid, but did well! He loves his rubber chickens, so we would throw one a little ways into the lake and he would gingerly go in almost to his belly to fetch it. It was super cute. We will get him used to it. 😊 But more Pitbull than Lab in that dog, I think! Lol.
4/14 – 138.6 lbs – So, I haven’t been logging my calories for a few days now. I mean I start out okay in the morning, and lunch goes well, but then everything goes crazy around dinner time. And then I end up “deleting” the entries for the day because I didn’t log dinner and it’s not “perfect” so therefore it shouldn’t exist at all. Lol. Oops. Yes, I am a bit crazy, if you haven’t noticed yet! Anyhow, given that I haven’t really been paying attention, I am SHOCKED that the scale is down. That is bizarre. And I’m not dehydrated, because I think I did drink enough yesterday. So it could potentially catch up to me tomorrow or the next day, but hubby leaves for San Diego today so I have 12 days to work off what I may have gained while he was home. (I was actually thinking yesterday that maybe it should just be a thing that I don’t log calories when he is home, or at least don’t get stressed if I don’t log the entire day.) Today I have a call scheduled with my new running coach after work, to discuss the plan she has created for me. I am to start the plan on Sunday. I will give you updates on how it goes! 😊
4/15 – 139.8 lbs – Well, there is that bounce-back I was expecting. Funny how even though I know it’s going to happen and I’m fully expecting it, it’s still disappointing when you get on the scale and see a bump up. Even though my logical brain knows it is fine, and normal, and also connected to the fact that I haven’t been logging, my emotional side still feels it. That is part of what I am working on, tho, is to not be so emotionally attached to what the scale says. (Down = happy for the day, up = sad.) I had my first session with my new running coach yesterday. She had made up a training schedule for me (incorporating a bunch of exercises to strengthen my knees, warmup/cool down, my strength training days at the gym, etc.). It was very nice to chat with her and she is very motivating. I was supposed to start my new schedule tomorrow but I was too excited and started today. Lol. To start out, she has me running for one minute and then walking for one minute. I was supposed to go for about 45 minutes. I thought there was no friggin way I was doing to be able to do 1:1. But you know what, I was actually surprised at how well I did! Was it perfect? Nope. Sometimes I had to walk for 2 minutes, sometimes the dog had to stop to pee, sometimes we got to a bumpy spot on the sidewalk, or it was a dark place or whatever (we left at 4:40 AM). But overall it was pretty fun and I was excited by my ability. I have spent my entire life believing that my body was “less than” and not capable. If you have daughters, please teach them that this is complete and utter BS. Anyway, I did a 80 minute route. I used my Fitbit timer function, which counted down from 1 minute and then vibrated when it was time to stop walking and start running. I felt a bit dizzy when I got home; maybe dehydrated. It was fun! 😊

Nuge007 · April 2023

Hello!

I have been afraid of the scale now for a while.

None of my summer clothes fit and getting older has grabbed hold of my metabolism and hit the brakes.
Little has changed in my diet but I have stopped exercising regularly and I keep gaining.
I need data and not just a feeling like this situation is out of control.

SO here I am and so thankful you are here, too!!!!

I have been journaling my food on paper for two weeks and I have begun to exercise again consistently again.
I will weigh as of tomorrow.

4/15 - 159.5 - Not down as much as I'd like, but I'm very happy to be back in the 150s. I feel and look much less bloated and puffy today which also makes me feel much better. Today the boys are riding down to Black Rifle Coffee Co to get coffee drinks (I'm jealous, but I got a battery for my bike so I can start practicing again) and enjoy the beautiful riding weather. FamWife is volunteering for a garden this morning so I'm going in to help her since the boys are gone. We had storms last night that normally I'd love, but the pressure was very sudden and significant. I woke up crying due to pain. I'm still in a lot of pain so I plan on taking it easy today. I did manage to enjoy the storms despite the pain once I figured out what was going on and did a breathing exercise to calm myself down (I was very anxious having woken up already crying). Friends coming in from out of town this afternoon so hanging out. I plan to fast until lunch to help offset whatever it is we do in the afternoon. If we don't do lunch as a group, I'll try to get something plant-based and healthy as FamWife likes eating healthy too. Dinner will likely be unhealthy so I'm working hard to offset that. Supposed to hit 90 today and I'll be outside so I'm really focused on pushing water through the day as well. Fortunately being hot is a great appetite suppressant!

Previous Day's Comments

4/12 - Ahhh, much better! Today I'm attempting to ease back into C25K with my ankle. I have my brace and I'm planning on taking it as slow and easy as necessary to get through it without re-injury. I'll stop if I think I'm coming close to that, though. Also picking back up on kettlebell strength circuit since I didn't on Monday as I was recovering from what we now believe to be the 12 hour stomach bug. BF dealt with the same thing I did on Sunday night/Monday all day. He was all good yesterday like nothing happened. I got an email yesterday about my upcoming training which I'm flying out in 2 weeks for. Business casual. Oof. I had to go dig that stuff out. My slacks fit, but they are TIGHT. Granted, this was yesterday, feeling bloated, and in the afternoon after breakfast and lunch had been consumed. Which is a good thing because I'll be wearing them from 8am to 5pm at training every day, food consumption included. So these next 2 weeks I need to kick my butt in gear in hopes of losing a tiny smidgen - just enough I don't feel like I'm going to bust seams on my only 2 pairs of slacks. I will wear slacks once, maybe twice a year, if that, with this job so I don't want to spend the money or all the time to find and buy new ones. Especially since I'm actively working to get healthier and lose the excess fat. Also, dinner is on my coworker and I Tuesday after I fly in (she's driving in) and Thursday. Friday I fly out right after class so I'll likely rely on airport fare (scheduled to land at 11pm so I'll be grabbing something). Breakfast and lunch is provided, continental-style, Wednesday-Friday. Dinner is out with the host on Wednesday night. AKA, I'm at other's mercy almost every meal during my trip. Oh and they specifically said "southern hospitality" which, being southern myself, makes me a little concerned with the fare provided. My co-worker is very sweet and I'm sure we can be flexible, the other stuff is questionable. So I'm really hoping that I can give myself enough buffer in these next two weeks that any bloat and gain between Tuesday afternoon and Friday doesn't cause a busted seam come Friday. I'll be wearing jeans to fly so once class is over, I can change and avoid any catastrophe at the airport at least. All this to say, I need to stay firmly on the wagon for 2 weeks straight.... Good news is, I have a plan for lunches next week AND I'm in charge of dinner at least 3 of the days as BF is gone on a business trip so I have a lot of control about the type of foods I'm eating. I'm looking up recipes and making plans for my grocery trip Friday to ensure I'm all set.
4/13 - Not quite sure the uptick....DOMS maybe? My abs were feeling quite sore yesterday afternoon and the squat down to the toilet and then to my work chair this morning was a little more of a struggle than normal (hello shaking legs first thing!) I feel lighter and I don't look bloated so I'm okay with soreness weight after a week off of heavy workouts. I had a dream last night about finances so I updated all my information and did a little digging this morning and lost track of time so no workout. I have a plan that will save money and help me pay off the one credit card I owe on in half the time, freeing up money for the kiddos this summer so it's not a total loss. I'm about to check work emails while pedaling gently on the bike, just to get some simple movement in which is better than nothing. Unsure dinner but planning on eating my curry before we head out to our Thirsty Thursday meetup to save some much needed cals. Especially since I'm not getting in an intense workout. Oops! FamWife got accepted to a new, better position yesterday so it's a little celebration and I'll need to be prepared with a nice full belly. Trying to fast until then as well, to help buffer the afternoon/dinner.
4/14 - I'm crying a little on the inside. It is my fault and I know it. I'm so incredibly bloated this morning I didn't want to step on the scale. Buuuuut I needed a reality check and a reality check it is. I fasted until 11 and ate some curry, though I only had a fraction of what I normally would eat (it filled me up super quick). I splurged and had 2 unplanned drinks while out which were calorie bombs. I did munch on a bit of the charcuterie board but I allowed myself that since I didn't eat much at all for lunch. I didn't think about how calorie-dense the drinks were until I logged them after. *insert facepalm here* Dinner was chili cheese dogs because BF was craving them like mad. All in all, not great day but I stuck to my guns and logged it all so I could see where I went wrong. Today, I woke up at 453am and cuddled in bed (I felt so cold despite the 2 dogs glued to my sides) until my alarm at 530. I was almost dozing and cold so I fought myself to get up, but I did. I knew the scale reading would be awful and I knew today was a workout day. I can't skip today after skipping more than a week last week! Anyway, kettlebell strength and C25K W4D3 once the sun begins to shed some light. I also have a dentist appointment at 2 today and then I'll grab groceries after since the dental office is across the street from the grocery. Plan for next week while BF is gone: Tuesday - taco salad, Wednesday-air fried drumsticks or thighs with veg Thursday - garlic steak bites with mashed potatoes and veg. Lunches for the week will be air fried stuffed bell peppers with ground tofu. I'm working on making my lunches fully plant-based when possible and trying to make dinners I'm in charge of healthy as possible but not so much BigBro won't eat them.

Day, Weight, Calories, Comment

4/12 - 182.8
Well, I hit my no after-dinner snacking and my walking goals. Did not hit the others, but I also didn’t go overboard. I didn’t sleep well last night (puppy got me up twice, and I couldn’t go back to sleep) and I feel like I need a nap already. But I’m going to put my shoes on and go for a walk on this beautiful morning! Planning salad for lunch and salmon Pattie’s (no bread, just salmon, egg, celery, and spices) for dinner with a vegetable or two on the side. I’m cutting my no-snacking goal to 10 days at a time. These bite-size chunks are much more manageable.

4/13 - 182.8
Yesterday was great—two 45-min walks, calories within bounds, no snacking. Hoping for more of the same today.

4/14 - 182.2
I feel like I may be taking back a little control. Yesterday the pupper and I went for a 50 min walk along the river in the morning, and then had an hour of obedience class in the evening. I did have buttered popcorn when I came home, but no dinner so my calories were quite low. We have an ozone alert today with advice against strenuous outdoor activity, so I probably won’t get a long walk, but I do plan to do some garden cleanup. Enjoy your day!

4/15 - 182
We got our long walk in last evening after they lifted the health advisory, so that was great. Today is another beautiful, clear, hot (80) day, so I’m headed to a park with the pup and then some more garden tidying. Nice to be outside again. Tomorrow we’re supposed to get rain and possibly snow! Aaaack! Enjoy the weekend, everyone!

04/13 -192.2- (Trend weight 192.5)

04/14 -189.4- (Trend weight 192.2) Wow! Back in the 80’s but barely. Yesterday was water pill day so that helped. I only take it about 3 times per week. My feet and ankles were filled and then near my calves were the VICE GRIPS that was SQUEEZING so tight and making sure none of the fluid moved! Feeling much relief today! I stuck to diet plan well yesterday and worked again on strenuous projects in the yard burning many calories. More yard work scheduled for today. In regards to today’s weight, I am only 1.2 lbs above my starting weight for my mini-goal listed above. Gotta get there so I can really start my personal challenge to lose the 4 pounds by my birthday in May. I really want this as it will put me so much closer to the 170’s and so much further from the 190’s.

04/15 -191.0- (Trend weight 192.0) Ugh! Had fish fry yesterday at 4 PM, leftovers at midnight when I got hungry. All fit within my allowances but a late meal and a early weigh-in (got up early to babysit DGS) really did me in. Too early for my TMI too. Lots of yard work and calorie burn yesterday. Hopefully I will see a drop tomorrow.

End of Round 219: 171.2

Round 220
4/12: DNW Bike ✔ Water ✔ Calories ✔ Got up way too early to weigh.
4/13: 171.6 Bike ✔ Water ✔ Calories (a little over maintenance - 1671). I'm really sticking those 171.x's.

A drop into the 170's should come soon.🤞 When I want something a little sweet, I've been eating frozen blueberries. They're really good. I'm stopping my pushup challenge for a little while. My arm has been hurting very badly and it may have started around the time I started pushups - not sure, but will lay off for a couple of weeks because I can't row now either, and I really miss rowing! It's going to be warmer in Maine (76) today than Georgia (68) (where my family is). huh?
4/14: 171.6 Bike ✔ Water ✔ Calories ✔ Patience.🤪 Patience.🤪 Patience.🤪 I'm following my plan - it will drop!!

4/14: 170.6 Bike ✔ Water ❎ Calories ✔ Patience won out over my internal fight between patience and frustration! LOL Unlike the "old" me who would have eaten out of frustration, the "new" me did not!! I finally dropped out of the 171's. Yay! I'm 40 days straight with no binge and no sugar. Believe me, I don't think there's anything wrong with sugar in moderation. I wish I was one of those people that could eat it. It just makes me feel like pure sh**, and it keeps my craving/bingeing going. Maybe one day I can eat it every now and then, but honestly, right now, I feel so good without it, I can't imagine wanting to feel like that again. We shall see...

Bingeing is why I'm where I am now. I want to see the results with 100 days of no bingeing. I'm not talking about going over calories from overeating a little, I'm talking full-out bingeing. And that's not just on bad foods, even when I'm eating well, I'll binge. This will be extremely challenging but if I stick to it (and stay off sugar and simple carbs to stop cravings), there is no way I'm not going to see consistent weight loss during these 100 days (not to mention the health benefits)! Part of this challenge, too, is if I do have a slip, that I don't revert back to old habits of bingeing for days/weeks/months. I will acknowledge the slip, celebrate that it didn't derail me, and just keep on keeping on.
I want to see what happens when I don't give up!

100-day Binge-free Challenge starting March 6…

Breaking the salt habit (replace with spices and herbs) starting April 15. Plan: 10 days 1/2 tsp, then 10 days 1/4 tps, then 10 days 1/8 tsp, lastly no added sugar (maybe?)
✳= 1 day 1/2 tsp added salt / ✴= 1 day 1/4 tsp added salt / ☑= 1/8 tsp added salt

4/12 - 173.0 - coming down after a carby long weekend. Weather has skipped over spring and we have summer this week...I LOVE it!! Expecting to get great hikes in every morning until Sunday looking at the forecast, the woods are my happy place and a great way to start my day.
4/13 - 173.0 - hopefully I won't be stuck here for long.
4/14 - 172.8 - Was a bit surprised to see this down a smidge. I got really snacky last night and instead of being smart and grabbing some grapes or snap peas to cure the crunch craving I dipped into the chip drawer. I was well in a calorie deficit before that so I likely didn't go over maintenance with my little bowl of munchie mix....but I felt gross when I went to bed, and slept horribly. A regular walk with the dog this morning after I get tickets (hopefully) for DS17 belated bday present and then we're heading up to the storage place to pick up the bike for the summer, might get a ride in tomorrow before it snows again next week

4/15 - 170.6 - !!! Nice drop !!! Whooshed water weight all day yesterday and through the night...inconvenient for sleeping but I'll deal LOL. Excited to think I might break into the 160's this round! It's been a couple of years, it will be nice to see them again. I had a bleach accident doing laundry yesterday that ruined a couple of dark tshirts and my favourite maxi-dress. But you know what? All were starting to be really too big on my anyway, so it's a good excuse to go get some replacements that will actually fit this summer. Going to take advantage of the summer like weather this weekend and get outside as much as I can before we return to a typical Ontario spring next week. Happy Saturday everyone!!

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 220

Round 220
April 12 – April 21, 2023

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

Goal for Round 220. Strategically get through using up freezer and pantry items that can’t stay to next season. Take off at least 1 more lb. Getting so close to the 130.

Oh, and I can finally confess, I am going to be a grandmother for the second time. Daughter is giving us another grandson mid-august. DD had her mid pregnancy anatomy scan last week, and finally feels safe in sharing her news.

History:

Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. 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!

SW: 131.4

Day/Weight/Comment

4/12 – 132.0 Not concerned. I have a sneaking suspicion that eating 63 grams of fiber yesterday (21 is the daily recommended according to MFP) may be a contributing factor. I also did not walk. Yesterday was supposed to be a blow out rain day, and it was a 2 am, so I allowed myself to oversleep. Was there any rain during daylight hours? No. But the radar showed it could. Today is also supposed to be a blow out, but I can see outside that it is currently nice (it is ½ hour before sunrise). Rain in the Keys (and I think Florida in general) is different from my life experience of the northeast. ( a day later I notice I never wrote the day’s weight, so I added)

4/13 – 131.0 Not surprised given how much time I spent in the bathroom yesterday. :P Yesterday, I got in a nice walk. It was another day with predicted rough weather. It was so strange. I could hear thunder. Dark clouds were in every direction but over the harbor, where we are, was glowing bright. I wish I took a picture. Ft. Lauderdale made the news to its rain yesterday, and the day before Miami made the news due to rain flooding. We got some drips. Unfortunately, the plants really could use some.

4/14 – 131.4 Calories were good enough and I did my longer length walk, though I did get into a “chocolate salami” DD had bought us while in Quebec back in January. I am cleaning out cabinets here (2 weeks before leaving) and checking dates on everything. Well the salami “expired” at the end of March and had already travelled back and forth with us. I decided to splurge and open it. It was ok, like a very firm fudge. Probably would have liked (and eaten) it more had I taken my aligners out first. (Had 1.75 ounces – yes I weighed it) Decided I was going to throw out the rest, but I notice it is gone this morning. It wasn’t me sleepwalking, so hubby must have enjoyed it! BP check, 3 PM: 107/74 w/ 70 BPM 98 02% w/ 67 BPM

4/15 – 131.0 Again, the scale teased me this morning with a false lower number. Maybe I should check the batteries? Regardless, I like the number. This morning, I decided to attempt running a 5K (yes, you all are inspiring me). While I enjoy the social aspect of my “walking with the girls”, I walk faster grocery shopping and am seeing that I am not getting any cardio challenge. I think that played into the fact I could NOT run the whole 5K. I ran two, walked .5, and then alternated walking and running that last .5+ miles, 12’57” pace. Average BPM was 158 (range 106 – 172 BPM) After that, I threw in another lap 1.6 miles at an easy walk, 15’32”. BPM stayed higher w/ avg of 152 (range 144 – 160 BPM). It’s clear that I need to be throwing this in at least once a week. I’m contemplating entering a chipped 5K then weekend after I return to Massachusetts, Sunday the 27th. It’s a walk/run for Colleen Ritzer, the teacher that was stabbed to death in the bathroom by her student, Philip Chism in 2013. I walked this 5K its first year in 2014, so it would be nice to return. Anyhow…… we’ll see. BP Check, 9:30 AM 97/69 w/ 83 BPM (just checking for curiosity – yesterday was packing my cuff to send north so thought I would check. Won’t check again until May)

Adding these notes for my own reference: 79 degrees and 80% humidity. yuck!

@deepwoodslady @musicsax Thank you! It feels so good to finally be back in the right mindset again

I'm glad to see you both seem to be doing well from your posts too!

quiltingjaine · April 2023

To ALL NEWBIES - WELCOME! I’m sorry I’m not very good at welcoming each new individual so I want to thank @EricTaladega and others for doing it!

@playhardkf2017 WELCOME BACK! Post when you can-it’s all good!!

@SheilaBoneham I love knowing where people live or have lived. I was so excited to meet @HoopsGuy a few years ago when we had a one night stop in Long Beach and he went out of his way to visit us at our hotel. Now where has he gone again??? Sheila, SNOW?? This weather!

@LisaPower123 You are THE BOMB!! Congratulations on sticking to it!

@PaulyJoMomma Thank you for your service! I’m sorry that resulted in disability. I love IF and OMAD. If I hadn’t made the yummy but not healthy choices I made yesterday, I would be so much better off! Well, it was a one off so I will carry on and get back on the wagon! I wish I had a workout partner!!

@fmfdfa You have 2 entries for 4/14, is that an error? I, too, react to sugar. Even the “healthy” natural sugar in fruit.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 5 years with amazing results!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

4/12 127.0 IF until 5:30 last night - chicken, broccoli, salad at El Pollo Loco (his choice but good with me)
4/13 126.5 Got some activity by moving stuff in the sewing room so I could get rid of the dead TV. Horrid headache this morning but I’m sure it’s from the extra physical activity yesterday. Moving a treadle sewing machine on carpet isn’t easy!
4/14 126.5 This won’t last - Golden Corral for the first time in months. Haven’t been since before DH had first shoulder replacement in September. DH had tooth extraction so I made a second trip to WM for Orange sherbet. Well, apparently I never posted so I will catch up tomorrow from the top of page 6.
4/15 128.0 Up as expected but my GKI is down in spite of fried chicken, hush puppy and NSA dessert.

YAY ME! I remembered to post early! LOL

@SModa61 That's a great pace for a run with walking in it! I ran this morning too and was right around that pace throughout it. Also, I remember that awful attack, it was horrific! That 5k idea sounds like a great cause. I might look into it because I signed up for the Harpoon 5-mile race in the Seaport on May 21st. So a 5k race would be a good test run.

4/15 125.4 Ran 3 miles this morning. Have a nice day of food planned out and also major cleaning that needs to get done, which I'm procrastinating. It's cat shedding season in our house and these cats' fur tumbleweeds reappear instantly after I vacuum everything. It's craziness and also makes me feel like vacuuming is useless!

We are getting Thai takeout tonight but I'm already planning to make decent choices that won't be a sodium bomb. I'm currently doing the Eat to Perform program and Saturdays are my higher-calorie day which should make choosing a takeout meal a bit easier. Eat to Perform gives you various macros to hit throughout the week and each day is a different amount of calories/carbs/fat/ and protein remains the same throughout. You have 2 low days, 3 medium days, 1 high day, and 1 super day (Saturday). My friend has been doing it since last fall and has seen great results, and once I felt ready to focus again, I decided to sign up to invest in myself plus have a buddy doing it with me. I knew if I didn't do something I would have continued to creep up in weight. At the beginning of the week post Easter I was 129 and now I'm in the 125 range. I know it's the water weight whoosh but it's still nice when you feel less puffy. You pay bi-weekly for the program and they connect you with a coach and a team that reviews your progress and the stats you report to them, then they adjust as needed. Any ways, have a good day everyone!

Also, thanks @quiltingjaine !!
