    Round 223

    145320379.png

    MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
    ROUND 180 FOR ME.

    “Today….I am choosing Me”


    05/16 -193.6- (Trend weight 194.3) I ended up going to the emergency room yesterday. I have a strep throat and the infection is what threw my heart off. I’ve been given an antibiotic, must closely monitor blood pressure and heart rate. De-stress and rest. That is easier said than done. So today is another day of travel for me. About 2 hours away to the endocrinologist for my diabetes. I’ll try to rest tomorrow Wednesday before the babysitting marathon begins again on Thur, Fri and Sat. Sunday off this week. No rest for the weary, as they say.
    @deepwoodslady Donna, Oh my goodness, take care of yourself. I see you're babysitting. I think you need someone to take care of YOU for a few days instead <3

    Have you played with this simulator?

    I haven't in a long while.
    See, even the simulator confirms that I should be 105# as my goal.

    RND 223
    I'm considering going into NYC tonight to see a Broadway show--either Hamilton or Six I think. It's been ages since I went, but it's also kind of an ordeal to get there from here. It looks like I can take the train from near work and get there in about an hour though. I've been so close to NYC so many times since I started this job and haven't gone. Will have to see how the work day goes. Happy hump day :smile:


    Not sure where "HERE" is, but it's great weather in NYC right now.
    Go spend an evening there.

    Last month, we surprised DD and her friend with tix to Hamilton again, and they loved it!!!
    Loved this Cuban restaurant - not a chain. Get the yucca fries!

    Thank you everyone for being here for another round! I'm back too! Still have work to do! Intended to figure out how to fit kettlebells back into my life last round...and didn't even look at the set in the basement. Maybe this round?!?! My last two rounds have been very successful with tracking nutrition and staying active outside....but I'm thinking I need to work on body composition as well as just the number on the scale.

    Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
    Goal Weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
    R222 EW - 5/11 - 167.0

    5/12 - 166.8 - continuing downward. Heading up to my parents place this evening for the weekend. Might bring my scale or use Moms. DS17 has a training shift for his summer job...and it's Mothers Day on Sunday so there are a few things planned that will limit my control on the food available but I'll do my best....and I'll probably want a cocktail on the dock tomorrow if this weather holds up.
    5/13 - DNW - Wasn't able to get at the scale in Mom's bathroom before I ate BUT...she got a digital kitchen scale recently so it could accurately track my breakfast. Will see how the day goes...Dad, hubby and the boys are making dinner tonight so I'll just keep the rest of my meals light in case it's a calorie bomb. It's hard not to snack here, mom and dad are grazers and there's open bags and bowls of snacks all over the house just begging for a hand to grab a bite. I'm moving up here for two months at the end of June with the boys, it's going to be a feat of will power to get through that!!
    5/14 - DNW - still at the parentals. Super long walk yesterday and then worked in the gardens with Mom...well over 17000 steps so hopefully I counteracted the deliciously rich sauce DS17 made for our dinner last night...and the Nana cookies I didn't resist...
    Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms!!
    5/15 - 167.2 - Well, it could have been worse after a very indulgent weekend. TOM also arrived this morning so there's that as well. It's Monday! Have a great week everyone!
    5/16 - 168.6 - SO bloated! TOM day 2 is the worst! Did not get nearly enough activity yesterday...appointments!! Today we hike!! And garden!!
    5/17 - 168.8 - UGH...still bloated. Some of it TOM, some of it poor food choices yesterday. I had the TOM munchies big time and we decided to try a new spot we can walk to for dinner last night....at least we walked. There were healthy choices on the menu, but there was also a fish and chip special....and TOM won all the battles yesterday. It's so weird, some cycles I have no bloating or cravings, and then some it's like someone else takes over my body, I guess I can blame it on Peri-menopausal hormones. Hopefully I'm at the tail end and I can move on and see how much damage I actually did by the end of the round once the bloat comes off.
    5/18

    Thanks for the encouragement! I think I will as long as work can wrap up around 4 :smile: Thanks for the restaurant rec. And yeah the weather here in NJ has been lovely all week. I've been missing some rain at home in VA!

    Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 223

    Thank you, again, @QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!

    Round 222 not the best. My take-a-way: lack of planning. Not just meal planning but event planning. Cinco de Mayo snuck up on me but I tried to manage the intake. Then my derailment came with my husband's surgery. Poor food choices and wine to end the day. Must get back on track in this round. The good news, I didn't totally erase the progress made in round 221! There's hope!

    62 y/o female

    Projection/Actual
    5/17 ~ 214.5 215.9 ~ Yesterday was decent - now to just continue...


    Prior Days This Round

    5/12 ~ 216.5/216.3 ~ New Round🙂 Yesterday was almost normal. Stayed within calorie budget, got my steps in. Short on water and didn't focus on hunger levels. Husband is back home, now the real fun begins!!! 🍎🚶🏽

    5/13 ~ 216.1/215.9 🍎

    5/14 ~ 215.7/215.4 ~ Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and those that serve in a mothering role! Enjoy your day. I am very ready to get back on track for the remainder of May.🍎👌✅🚶🏽

    5/15 ~ 215.3 DNW - Just didn't want to see it. I'll look tomorrow. Splurge with cheese and crackers and some chocolate flavored wine.

    5/16 ~ 214.9/217 ⬆️ Well, I guess I'm glad I didn't look yesterday. I've got to get a handle on this. Funny, when I projected May - I didn't see such challenges. My meals are all pre logged for today and I'm under budget. Steps are trending nicely for today. I will focus on getting at least 64 ounces of water in...🍎👌🚶🏽

    05/17 -196.2- (Trend weight 194.7) Are you freaking kidding me???? I know I’m not getting any exercise in due to being sick, but this is Ridiculous!!! Travel two days in a row with restaurant food too, but I could hardly eat since swallowing was so hard. Ate less than half my meals and threw the rest away! Antibiotic is helping make my throat feel so much better already. I would finally be able to eat and drink better, but I won’t. Not after this! I also wanted to get lots of rest (lazy day) to allow me to heal, but I won’t do that either. Not after this! Thanks everyone for the get well wishes.

    Donna, I am no medical professional, but with all that is going on, I would chalk it up to temporary medication gain. Hopefully I am correct. Regardless, your body needs you to be kind to it so it heals, and then you care back to yourself again. Hopefully, the healing comes soon! <3

    65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 223 (my 154th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
    Aim to stay under 140 and hopefully lose another pound. Need to stay on track. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!
    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 taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

    End of round 222 – 139.8 (1 pound down)

    SW RND 223

    5/12 DNW or post
    5/13 142.4 – after 12 binge free days, went totally off the rails for 2 ☹. Didn’t even do my walking ☹, missed logging yesterday, was even tempted to not weigh or post this morning, but have to get back on the wagon as I don’t want to face the consequence, so I’m back & I’ll try again.
    5/14 142 – 11.89 miles walked, 2/3 exercise calories eaten back, feels better to be back on track, but looking forward to the bloating subsiding.
    5/15 142 – no structured walking, met up with DD, DS & their families for a picnic at Calke Abbey, ran around with the little munchkins a bit, we all had a wonderful time, did indulge in an ice cream & a latte, maybe should have gave the red wine with our evening meal a miss, but no binge!
    5/16 141 – 9.92 miles walked, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
    4 binge free days – 3 days within exercise calories, consistency rules!
    5/17 140.2 – 9.84 miles walked, less than 10% exercise calories eaten back.

    Did my 4 month invisalign check in. Skipped breakfast, and am now skipping lunch as my ortho is across the street from Richardson's dairy. Got myself a "small" Phantom Berry ice cream cup. It was not small but huge and wonderful. Going to make the rest of my day work around it. :)

    I love Richardson's!!!
    Ooh, I haven't tried Phantom Berry.

    YES! "make the rest of my day work around it."

    SW: 123.6
    GW: 118-122 (maintenance range)

    5/12 - 122.2. That’s nice! Close to maintenance range! Maybe I can behave myself this weekend. I struggle when the kids are home because I can't really fast or I get impatient with the boys' antics. Just have to make good choices. I need to get a good workout in today. I haven't all week. I've been riding my new ebike around, but it's not much of a workout with the motor. On an unrelated note, since we talk about pets so much here, we had a vet appointment for the two dogs and the cat yesterday, and my dog Pancake has a mass that needs to be excised. I really hope she doesn't have cancer. The vet said since it was hard it concerned her, and it was difficult for her to move which indicates it's in her deeper tissue. We have a consult appointment at another vet next week because the mobile vet doesn't operate. Hoping everything goes okay there. She drives me crazy but she's the most loving girl. We would be devastated if we lost her prematurely (she's only 6).

    5/13 - 121.8 (think I was dehydrated, too much alcohol the night before!)
    5/14 - 124 (that made more sense!)

    5/15 - travel scale - 123.8, ugh. I keep thinking I posted but I can't find my posts since Friday! Not sure how this week is going to go with the sodium from restaurant meals plus TOM coming around the bend. Going to try to do some extended fast days to keep things under control. Off to a good start for today at least. My hotel has a nice restaurant I'm looking forward to going to. I hope everyone had a nice mother's day! I got out with my 2 boys, husband, and 2 dogs for a little "hike" (basically a half-mile meander into the woods along a nice stream, a snack break, and a half-mile meander back out). It was the first time we've gotten the boys out with our wild and wooly dogs so it felt like a milestone! Then I flew to NJ and had very smooth flights but terrible delays AT Newark, with the train running oddly and the rental car check-in being an absolute mess. All told I got to my hotel at 1:30 AM, ugh. Work activities are off to a good start, though, so fingers crossed that continues all week.

    5/16 - travel scale - 123.6 ok! I found an amazing nature preserve near my hotel with a huge network of trails. I went for a 2-mile trail jog yesterday and I might scope out a little more of it today. I barely slept due to work anxiety. Just had dinner yesterday but it was a cheeseburger and fries from the hotel restaurant, haha. Today I will eat more veggies and less grease.

    5/17 - travel scale - 122.6. Getting close to my maintenance range again. Can I do it this week? I had a much better food day yesterday. I did have some grease but I also had a huge salad. My lunch (pho) saved me from myself by being too spicy to eat. I did a full body strength workout in the hotel gym yesterday evening and went for a jog this morning. I'm considering going into NYC tonight to see a Broadway show--either Hamilton or Six I think. It's been ages since I went, but it's also kind of an ordeal to get there from here. It looks like I can take the train from near work and get there in about an hour though. I've been so close to NYC so many times since I started this job and haven't gone. Will have to see how the work day goes. Happy hump day :smile:

    Starting Weight (2018): 230lbs
    Ultimate Goal: 140lbs
    Starting weight for R223: 159.8 lbs
    R223 Goal Weight: 155 lbs

    Looking forward to another round! Keeping up my 10K+ steps daily and staying under calories is the main goal while recovering from an injury. I dropped a lot in the last round, so I'm curious if the trend continues or if I experience some stagnation this round.

    5/12 - 159.8 lbs

    5/13 - 161.1 (+1.3) Stayed under calories and got 13K steps. I did eat a dinner that was very high in sodium, so I’m sure that explains the fluctuation.

    5/14 - 161.8 (+2.0)

    5/15 - 162.2 (+2.4)

    5/16 - 162.0 (+2.2)
    Wow, this is going great so far 😂 I think I should go buy measuring tape to take note of my measurements too.

    I have gotten over 10K steps everyday (been hiking a mountain a day for the past 9 days) and I did strength training at my gym yesterday.

    5/17 - 162.0 (+2.2)
    I'm feeling a bit frustrated tbh. I've been on literally the same weight for a month, even if I weigh every gram of food I put in my mouth. Been eating 1200-1300 kcal (120g of protein, with a lot of veggies and water dense food) - Getting over 8 hours of sleep, constantly getting around 15k steps (and these steps are from mountain climbing), and training crossfit 3-4 times a week. My watch is telling me that I'm at around 2600-3000 kcal burned almost every day, I understand that this number might be somewhat off. But there is no way that I'm not in a cal deficit of atleast 500-1000. Why is the scale not moving? I can't seem to dip under 155 lbs no matter what I do. I've completely stopped eating out, I'm cooking everything in my own pan and I never go over my set amount of calories. What should I do??

    How tall are you? Maybe 140# is too low of a goal for your height?
    Do you do body measurements? Are clothes getting looser, despite the scale numbers not moving?

    When I'm near my goal, I focus on measurements, because the scale doesn't seem to move much,
    due to any variables: the moon, bowel movements, TOM, building muscles ==> retaining more water, etc.

    If you really need to see the scale numbers move, thought is to cut out all starches/sugar.
    Basically eat meat and lettuce.

    hang in there!

    YES! "make the rest of my day work around it."

    It’s black raspberry ice cream with crushed Oreos. DD introduced it to me a few years ago and I am addicted.

    If I were your receptionist at WW, list I used to be, I would be suggesting you eat more. Shockingly, I always got positive feedback. Myself, I am never under 1430 cal and lose ok.
