JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 222

SModa61 · May 2023

Round 222
May 2 – May 11, 2023

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

Goal for Round 222 – I want to start the process of transitioning to maintaining. While I would like to get to 126 (roughly weight at daughter’s wedding), I also don’t want just an “on” “off” switch. I’d like to finally start filling in the supplement section that I have claimed I was doing since February. And, I’d like to start expanding what I do for exercise. For a weight, I would like to end the round no higher than the nice surprise of 128.2 with which I started the round.

During this round, I have DEXA scan, BMR, and risk assessment on May 6th. Entering a chipped 5K on May 7th (not sure if walking or running, but I need do it to adjust my comfort zone). Mammogram on May 8th. Annual physical also on May 8th. Likely, all my annual blood work and such on May 9th. Then Dentist on May 11. A regular apmt except for it will be the first time seeing the dentist since starting Invisalign, which then includes me brushing, flossing, water picking, rinsing, etc, many many times a day. Going to be an informative round.

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: 128.2

Day/Weight/Comment

5/02 – 129.2 Had a visit with my friends Ben and Jerry, that I have not seen in 2023. Oh, well. The irony is that I was thinking how I would not buy this flavor again, as I finished the ice cream pint. I even thought how I could throw the rest away, but I ate it anyhow. The good thing is that I tracked it, and I stepped on the scale today despite knowing what was coming. The questions that come from this are 1) why did I allow myself to purchase it? It was on sale and was thinking I would find a day to make the ice cream work (just not yesterday) 2) why did I allow myself this stress response? Less than 24 hours from getting home we found out the master bathroom shower is somehow leaking through the walls into the basement and we are now facing getting a plumber and potentially wall repairs to our newly refinished bathroom after he gets done. Still, that is not an excuse and something to improve.

On a positive note, I did my first Massachusetts walk yesterday. Not super long, only 3.4 miles, but I had a great walking pace, especially since I have not seen a hill in ages (florida elevation gain during my walk is 7 ft, but yesterday was 208 ft). It also got my BPM up to a nice rate. Average was 132 BPM, with a high of 150+.

I swear that sharing with this group is like therapy!!

5/03 – 129.6 Yup, the ice cream sale was buy “2”. At least it is over and done with. Otherwise the day was really good. I finally used the Apple+ Fitness that we have set up. I did a 30 minute spin (but only at steady state) and then a 10 minute core (meh, I’ve had better). I am reset and ready for a great day today.

5/04 – 129.8 I need to stop this cycle. Yesterday was no exercise. Perpetual rain. I should have used the Apple +. I did not. Had perfect calorie day, until about 9 PM. Then I found M&M’s that my MIL had me bring from Florida to use in baking. Gone. Being home, I am getting scattered again.

Today, I am heading to my parents at the assisted living. Today starts my next 8 to 9 months of dealing with their hoarding. Getting involved in their financials, and dealing with estate and medical issues. In all that, I need to remember me, and to not resort to Netflix and eating as a stress relief.

Just finished dinner prep. Now heading to MFP diary to pre-track my day, and try to get some early morning exercise.

Late add: I got my butt outside in the cold cold drizzle and did a run/walk of the hilly neighborhood. Getting ready for Sunday and my baseline 5k.

5/05 – 129.2 Finally, a back on track day. Three days with bad dietary endings. Good to see some of the gain was temporary. But I can do math, so I know there were some surplus calories that make a gain real.

Today, being smart before my fun tests tomorrow. For the RMR, to get as accurate a number as possible, one is to avoid things that might ramp up ones metabolism. These things include exercise, stimulants such as coffee, and then there are constraints regarding food such as being fasted tomorrow morning. So anyhow, no coffee or exercise for me today. But I have plenty of other things to accomplish today, so that’s ok.

I understand your comments, as No matter how small I get, I ALWAYS see myself as not quite small enough and aim for something smaller. It had gotten me into major problems in college. Every time I diet, I worry I will slip back into those old habits. I wish I understood why-but, for now, I avoid mirrors.

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 6 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

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

"Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

SW RND 222 128.0

5/2 128.0 No access to scale after TMI
5/3 127.0 Had gluten free toast and gluten free (brown rice flour) pasta yesterday. Lots of carbs but waiting to see if my knees start to hurt. Tonight maybe Mexican restaurant with family. DGD#2 flies back to Iowa tomorrow.
5/4 128.5 Not surprised. Last night’s Mexican restaurant CHIPS followed high carb pasta from the night before. I woke up at 3:12AM and couldn’t get back to sleep. DGD leaves at noon.
5/5 128.0 DGD finally got home about 1:30AM Iowa time. Delayed flight from LAS to DEN caused her to miss connection and she had to wait several hours for the (rebooked) new flight which was also late. Then an hour drive to her home after waiting for her suitcase. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

*** A word to anyone flying in/out of Las Vegas. Apparently they are working on a runway until late July and this is causing delays on arrivals and departures.

05/04 -193.6- (Trend weight 192.7) Well there is that sneaky little increase that was hiding from the scale! So glad it’s only 0.2!!! I had a great food and exercise day yesterday. Stayed on track and watched all my p’s and q’s. This too shall pass.

05/05 -193.6- (Trend weight 192.7) I went over to the school yesterday and walked the track for about 90 minutes. We had a high of 57 yesterday and it felt so good to get out. Soon the track will be too hot with it’s blacktop walkway and, naturally, no trees or shade in sight. But for now it was really nice. My diet could have been better. I came back from walking very very hungry so it was a portion control issue.

Projection/Actual

5/5 211.5/214.2 ~ Today is Cinco De Mayo. Husband wants Mexican food and Margaritas. 😲😮🤭. Going to be a tough one but I'm going to try to stay at my calorie budget. I have a salad planned for lunch which comes in at 300 calories. That leaves me plenty of room for a (one) margarita and a chicken taco meal. That leaves me with 45 calories to spare. Oops, forgot the chips and guacamole. 🤞🏽 I think I will go for an extra walk at lunch today!🙂 🍎👌✅🚶🏽(for 5/4)

Prior Days This Round

5/2 213.1/213.8 ~ Not terribly surprised after the drops the past couple of days. All good. Got all my water in yesterday!! 🍎👌✅🚶🏽(for 5/1)

5/3 212.8/215.6 ~ Oops, up 1.8 from yesterday. Normally this result would send me spiraling...but this is just how my body works... Fact: I did not eat/drink +5,250 above maintenance (3,500 equal 1 pound). Fact: I did eat/drink ~600 above by targeted calories. I did get all my water in! Tomorrow's another day.👌✅🚶🏽(for 5/2)

5/4 212.2/214.9 ~ Headed back in the right direction. Missed my step goal. 🍎👌✅(for 5/3)

5/5 211.5/214.2 ~ Today is Cinco De Mayo. Husband wants Mexican food and Margaritas. 😲😮🤭. Going to be a tough one but I'm going to try to stay at my calorie budget. I have a salad planned for lunch which comes in at 300 calories. That leaves me plenty of room for a (one) margarita and a chicken taco meal. That leaves me with 45 calories to spare. Oops, forgot the chips and guacamole. 🤞🏽 I think I will go for an extra walk at lunch today!🙂 🍎👌✅🚶🏽(for 5/4)

I hear you.
I've been waiting for today, because I've been craving margaritas!
Not sure if I'm going to have one today, because I'm going to a Derby party tomorrow, and I know the host is making Mint Juleps.

For my dinner, I'm making stuffed peppers tacos (using peppers instead of a corn shell), and regular tacos and nachos for the family, and sooooo much guacamole!!!

This gave me the idea.

Thank you @quiltingjaine for another round!

💪🏋️‍♀️🤸‍♀️🎵💃👗👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💗🌻🏖🙏

Heaviest Weight Ever: 186.0
186 / 185 / 184 / 183 / 182 / 181 / 180
179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170
169 / 168 / 167 / 166 / 165 / 164 / 163 / 162 / 161 / 160 👉 159

Stick to Plan:

Calorie cycle for a weekly average of 1200 to 1500 (with a maintenace day thrown in every now and then.
Exercise: Row, Walk, Bike, Weights, Dance, Jazzercise, Kayak, Hike
Water: Shoot for 80oz per day
Binge-Free & Sugar-Free for 100 days (46 days at the beginning of this round)
Reduce added salt
Lots of veggies and protein, some fruit (very little processed foods or simple carbs which I hardly ever have)
I need to figure out a way to get more fiber, especially from grains.

If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now.

5/04
5/05 165.8 I haven't posted since 4/27. I had a medical emergency - ICU/Hosp for 5 days. I can't exert myself, absolutely no exercise including treadmill, rower, weights, etc., for an entire 6 months. So, another adjustment in this unpredicatable life. I came out on the otherside, though, and very grateful! 🙏🙏🙏
It will take days to catch up with everyone's progress, but look forward to reading thru all.

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…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

100-day Sugar-free Challenge starting March 6…
*=1 successful day / 💚=10 successful days / ^=1 oops Day
💚💚💚💚💚💚

Breaking the salt habit (replace with spices and herbs) starting April 16. 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 / ^=1 oops Day
✳✳✳✳^^✳✳✳^^
I decided to start at 1/2 tsp for 10 days because I was having a hard time getting started. To my surprise, I've had salt left over each day - yay!

100-Day Weight Tracking to remind me that fluxations are normal and that you can stay at a certain weight for days/weeks but it will eventually come off - so be patient and stick with the plan!

Round 222!
I’m Amanda, 5’2” from Virginia

RGW: 122 (high end of maintenance range)
Non-scale goals:
⏱️ Intermittent fast >16 hours 7/10 days
💪🏻 Intentional exercise 7/10 days
✏️ track food 6/10 days

RSW: 123.6 (5/1)

5/2 - 123.2. 💪🏻✏️⏱️This week is so exciting! First, I love it when a round starts close to the beginning of the month, feels like a fresh start! Then I found out yesterday that my new cargo ebike has arrived at the bike shop and just needs to be assembled. And Thursday we close on the sale of our rental property and hopefully get our counters installed! Super exciting all around 😊 Trying not to get my expectations too high on any front but it’s hard not to!

5/3 - 123. 💪🏻✏️⏱️ My bike was ready yesterday! I jog/walked 4 miles-ish to the bike shop to pick it up yesterday afternoon. Riding it is a little tricky but I know I’ll get the hang of it. It’s awesome! On the negative side, the 2 year old popped a fever this morning which leads to a huge work/home life disruption. Thankfully I completed a big task at work yesterday so I can probably get by with minimal brain work today. My workout plans for the day are essentially out the window since any break I get from the kid will have to be for work. My mom is not able to come help because she has a hair cut and color tomorrow…which I find a little hard to comprehend but whatever. Priorities are priorities I guess.

5/4 - 123.6 💪🏻✏️⏱️ ugh. I think I actually did okay on calories yesterday based on what I tracked, but all of my food was from restaurants, so probably retaining some water and possibly underestimating. We were in survival mode with the 2 year old home and having to work. Thankfully his fever was super brief so he's back at daycare today! I don't have to be so salty toward my mom now, hehe. I did my first daycare pickup on my new ebike yesterday and it was really fun. I'm not sure how much of a workout it is, but that is highly adjustable, just requires me to actively reduce the e-assist. I'm struggling with parking/the weight of it but hopefully that comes together because everything else is great. I have 30 days to change my mind. We closed on the rental property this morning, and the counters for our kitchen remodel seem to actually be coming this afternoon. Sorry for rambling on but it really feels like everything is coming together right now. I managed to squeeze in a 20-minute Peloton ride during DS's nap time and hope to do a little more today. Definitely going to walk my poor neglected dogs today now that the weather has improved.

5/5 - 122.4! I did a longer fast yesterday that seems to have paid off. I still consumed a lot of calories. We were in a celebratory mood and drank too much, so some of this nice loss could be dehydration. I also just overindulged while trying to quell the slight hangover that is affecting my brain and body. Not my proudest Friday morning. Looking forward to the weekend, though!

Ok folks, how do you do it?
How do you stay on track when there's all these parties/events every week?

5/6Saturday = Kentucky Derby party
5/14Sunday = Mother's Day
5/24 = my son's birthday dinner
6/3 = graduation party
6/11 = graduation party

Basically, I'm dieting all week, and then it's "wasted" with each event, and it starts all over again the following Monday.
How do you barely eat/drink at a dinner party? Definitely can't bring my own food.

Help?

Do you gi to the Derby, and do you have a way cool hat? 😁😎👒

38F / 5'4"
Round 222 - RSW-238.4lbs / RGW-237.4lbs

Track all my meals on the app & do accountability checks with my fitness coach/son.
Stick to my work out plan (alternate 3 days walking/3 days body weight exercising/1 day rest)
Don't drink my calories outside coffee (need to have milk!)
Increase water intake (use my gallon size jug!)
Get good sleep!

History:
RND 221 SW: 239.2
RND 222 SW: 238.4

Day, Weight, Comment

5/2 - 238.4 - Today is a celebration day, but that just means ice cream for dinner instead of dinner + ice cream! I also want to try and go for a 2.5 mile walk tonight to the cafe (and uber back!).
5/3 - Forgot to weigh

5/4 - 234.4 - Hmm, down again? Or is my scale still being weird? I do feel less bloated today. I think that avoiding flour & rice products is helping a lot.
5/5 - 234.2 - Still not sure about the scale. This weekend I'll try a different one somewhere to be sure. I do feel less bloated though so maybe I'm down in water weight? Today is Cinco de Mayo so I'm going to have some junky type foods but I'll be reasonable about it. Don't want to get puffy and no booze!

@musicsax our bodies do stiffen up if we don't keep moving, that's for sure! I lift weights most days, but if I go more than 3 days without lifting then when I do I'm really suffering the next day. Walking 9 miles takes me around 3hrs, it's a big commitment and tricky with our UK weather, although we've had some really nice days recently. Do you get out for one big walk a day or do you break it up into smaller chunks?

Either depending on what other commitments I have & also whether away in our caravan with DH. You're right about the UK weather, there are plenty times when I have to cut a walk short cuz of the rain and I never go out if it is already raining heavy. What I will say though is if wherever I go if it is feasible to walk then I will. To visit MIL, to my seasonal job, nails appt, DS's.
This weekend we have come away for the weekend; brought our caravan up to Rhos on Sea, so plan on walking to Llandudno & Colwyn Bay before we return home.

Do you go to the Derby, and do you have a way cool hat? 😁😎👒

I do have a FABULOUS huge pink hat, a lovely pink dress, and floral pumps.

I think DH may have trouble fitting into his fabulous purple shirt, since he's been growing a "keg".

Looking through my pictures (hunting for my PR hip thrust), I found a few of these pictures.
I was 113# (only 4'11").
While I remember feeling great about my weight/body, etc, I recall still thinking about dropping another 5-10#, aiming for 105-109#. My lowest ever since hitting puberty was 112#.

Would you think that I have mild version of Body Dysmorphia?
Because I am still aiming for 105-109 elusive goal.

Body Dysmorphia is such a crazy thing! I’ve almost hit 80 lbs lost from 250. Often, very often, I still see my 250 body. Today, I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror at work and it surprised me. I could *see* my loss… but it happens more often than not that I still see the old sized me.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 222
