Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 236

Anabirgite · September 2023

Good Morning, very soon to be Happy Fall... Here's to falling scale numbers in addition to falling leaves. Started and ended the same last month, a little out of control in the middle, traveling is so hard on me. I need to form better habits, I am going to focus on strength training, since my accident in May I have procrastinated getting back to shape. I started back to work in May and have not yet figured out when to exercise in my day. So this round, I going figure out when to put aside 30 minutes a day for strength training.

@Anabirgite When I get bak from Scotland (early October), I think I need a similar plan. My exercise had been long periods of walking which I have not had the time for. I need a plan that I can include daily and remove my excuses. Plus, strength training would just be good for me in general.

@SheilaBoneham Lovely sweater. Such talent!

Day, Weight, Comment
9/19 - DNW - I decided not to weigh since I woke up a few times last night very thirsty and chugged water leading to a possibly false high. Especially since we ended up eating out. We didn't go to the CPR class as the contractors didn't leave until after 630, the class started at 6 and it was 45 minutes away. Unfortunately, by the time we realized we wouldn't be going to the class, it was too late to thaw anything for dinner and we ended up eating out (didn't change much as we'd have to eat out if we went to the class since there was no time between work and having to leave to cook AND eat). Kettlebell workout today and walk planned for after dinner as contractors showed up right after 7am - our usual walk time. I have plenty of leftover cowboy stew which I made for lunch instead - I plan on roasting my leftover carrots and adding them into the stew to provide some veg since I don't count corn or potatoes for my daily veg count. Burritos for Taco Tuesday dinner tonight so need to stay mindful of my portions and overall intake, especially with only 1 walk and 15 minute strength workout.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/18 …..190.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

09/19 -190.0- (Trend weight 191.9) I went over to the school to walk the tracks in the hallways of the school for the first time this school year. My handymen cancelled the day so I was able to leave. By the time I left my knees were aching. Luckily I had already done my aerobic dancing. Today is travel so I may get some rest from the exercise. I expect the scale will go up but I know from experience it won’t last. What I do in the days following is what really matters. I just can’t let it put me on a bingefest. I did really well last time I traveled so I hope to keep up the momentum. Good luck everyone this round!

9/19 - 186.4
Yeah, I figured I’d bounce back up. But I’m determined to get out of the 6s for good this round. As autumn settles in I want to retry some things that have calmed me, grounded me, and “filled me up,” as my friend Cait puts it—a serious writing schedule, long daily walks, regular meditation, maybe some painting, and, of course!, knitting. I’ve felt adrift for quite awhile—since before Covid (probably since we moved from NC to OR in 2016 and then to our current place in IN 9 months later) but the isolation really pushed me out to sea and I’ve never gotten my mojo back. I think that’s part of why I eat emotionally—to fill the empty places. Part of me wants to go sleep for about a week, but another part wants to feel I’m accomplishing something. The “old” things I named might not be the right things for me now, but I need to find out, then let go to open the space physically and emotionally. I feel I need to reassess some of my people, too. Does any of this make sense? And let me say many thanks to this beautiful, supportive, non-judgmental group! Thanks for letting me sound off and for posting your own “we are not alone” posts. ❤️

GW Round 236: 125.0
Non-scale goals (tracked for the previous day):
💧minimum 64oz of water 9/10 days
✏️ track intake 4/10 days (setting this one low since I have been so bad about this lately)
💪🏻 work out 8/10 days
⏰ intermittent fast 16 hours 7/10 days

9/19 - 💧💪🏻 128.0. Alright alright, time to rein it in. Gave myself enough leeway with the half marathon (thanks all for the congratulatory words!!!). Hopefully some of this is water. Recovery is over so time to get back on track. Today will be an endurance Peloton ride and probably a dog walk since my husband couldn’t do it before he went to work.

@SheilaBoneham your thoughts make a lot of sense to me! I feel like the seasons changing is a wonderful time for self-reflection and renewal, finding what's working for you and what isn't. Relocating can certainly be isolating and lead you to including people in your life that are convenient but might not be the right fit to help you be your best self. I personally find it harder and harder to make new friends as I get older - I guess as we all get set in our respective ways. Hope you can find your direction and fill any emotional gaps with things that make you happy and fulfilled

@SheilaBoneham I’m sorry, I keep forgetting to tell you how beautiful your sweater is. I’m sure you will enjoy it in the coming Indiana winter!

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

9/19. 129.0 Today I will begin a fast after we eat early lunch. DH has cards at noon, takes a friend to the doctor at 4 and has a meeting at 5 (he’ll be late due to earlier commitment) that should be over by 7. Today it is supposed to be 97F (36C) so it is finally cooling off here. The next 2 weeks show all temps below 90. Maybe I should make getting to the gym my goal this round!

R236
My 6th Round

Good luck everyone! You inspire me!

F, 5’6”, almost 65 😉, Married, Retired. MawMaw Proud!

Starting R236 at 137 - (⬇️ from 145 mid-July.) Not bad.

Goals: Relax, TRUST the process, Celebrate making healthy choices. Taste buds are overrated. NEVER let the ⚖️ impact my mood or determination.

UGW: Make choices to weigh 128 again & MAINTAIN.

🛑🎢
Adjusted Daily Goals:
70-80💦, Cal (1225-1325) Macros% 3-72-25, (Ketovore) 12k steps, Burn 600+ activity calories, 90+ Activity minutes.

Next 10 days: 12-3-30 3x and 🏋️‍♀️3x (I’ve been neglecting this, and it needs to be a top priority!)

R236⚖️: Let’s get the ⚖️ down 1.5- 2lbs to 135x! Relaxed but focused. Breathe and pause.

9/19 ⚖️ 137.0lbs 🤔(again!) Yesterday, 200+ exercise minutes, 1225 move calories, 18k+ steps. Crazy day. Woke up stiff but worked it out. Short walk this morning, then tennis again tonight. Probably will not reach anywhere near that activity today because I obviously overdid it yesterday. Trying to nap this afternoon - did not sleep well last night – too wound up. What do I need to keep doing or change while on this part of my journey?! I think I’m making progress, because the scale is not bothering me anymore… It is what it is I just have to keep focused and taking care of myself.
