Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 240

itladyee · October 2023

Hi, I'm Charissa

Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!

62 y/o female
OSW 2022-03 230.3
1SW 2023-01 221.8

Previous Goals per Round

Round 236, resumed my mandatory treadmill M-F 30 minute minimum!!
Round 237, increased from 30 minutes to 40 minutes minimum!
Round 238, returning to IF and adding healthy habits from Apple Watch promptings. 1 out of 2, IF left me very hungry this round so eating something small when I get hungry, then eating a reasonable lunch (under 300 cal) and saving the rest for dinner. I guess still IF, just shorter windows (about 14 hours). Closing more difficult rings on my watch = success!
Round 239, Continue all of the above! Increase Water

Goals This Round per Day:
Vacation Goal
Some form of daily exercise
Water
Have fun

Normal Goals

- Tracking to the best of my ability 🍎and staying under calorie budget (just say NO!)
- Water (Goal 64 oz/SS and 96oz M-F) : ✅
- Closing my rings (which I've made a bit more difficult): 🚶🏽

10/29 - 187.2
Gloomy, cold, and wet here. So, after doggy walk I’m going to wind some yarn and decide what I want to knit next, and then get my office space organized for a writing sprint in November, hoping to dive into a new book. I’m sooooo out of practice it’s embarrassing. I’m going to try to re-establish my old habit of writing for 45 minutes, then walking for 15. Four repeats and I have an hour of walking and 3 of writing, which is a good day and keeps me from thinking about food all the time.

10/30 - 187
Brrr. And that’s it for the summer’s annuals! Oh, well, we had a good long run this year, and it is almost November (!). I think I’ll be getting my soup recipes out soon, and freeze “soup cupcakes” to pull out and heat for low-cal nutritious delicious lunches. Mmmmm mmmmm good. 🥣

I'm 30F and committed to not wondering about the scale this round and wondering instead about how great it's going to be when my daily healthy practices are so normal that it would be weird not to do them, even on vacations or holidays. It has been nice so far.

10/29 macros ✔️ lounged around doing mostly nothing. Chopping vegetables and cooking healthy meals for the week counts as exercise I'm sure. So exercise ✔️. I should be rested to ST, walk, or both today.

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.

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

10/29 129.5 Pleased with this as I ate the leftover hamburger (and bun) and onion rings. Today is Great Greek day. Salad and steak. Planning to go to Planet Fitness again with DH.
10/30 130.0 Not surprised as a eight so many carbs the last couple of days. Had a Starbucks in the morning after the gym yesterday and then ate only my little side salad and two pieces of steak from my skewers. Lots of steak left over which I will eat today. I just realized that this round will take me up to two days before our granddaughter and her husband arrive. We have never met him and have no idea what they want to do or see or eat while they are in Las Vegas. I need to crack down on “doing me!”

180’s; 170’s; 160’s; 150's; 140's; 130's; 120's
About me/Notes to self:

I could not lose weight until I shifted my mindset from "trying to lose weight" by calorie counting to "trying to decrease chronic inflammation" by eating the right foods + calorie counting.

I can maintain my good health by continuing these healthy habits:
1) noticing how my clothes are fitting and getting back to the scale and consciously recalibrating my daily diet when necessary.
2) eating primarily WFPB (Whole Foods, Plant-Based) daily to keep my daily fiber intake around 40 grams. Keep noticing where I can easily make a meal only plant-based and aim to have at least one vegan meal per day and at least one fully vegan day per week (this keeps me from getting lazy with vegetables and recipes).
3) limit ultra-processed foods to almost never and avoid added sugar unless it's truly a special occasion and a truly delicious dessert, preferably homemade. Road trips are a great time for splurging on grocery store precut fruits and premade fresh spring rolls.
4) use the muscles I have so I don't lose them. Muscle maintenance is metabolism maintenance.
5) alcohol is not a necessary part of any diet. Be mindful.

Short term goals:
1)maintain my current physical fitness level and healthy diet
2)lose a little bit of extra fat

Plan to accomplish goals:
1)do something fun that challenges my fitness level at least once a week
2)be serious about no added sugar. I am addicted. I cannot control myself with "just a little bit."
3)weigh-in and track the trend weight.
4)set MFP diary settings to maintain current weight so I can track my real calorie deficit with macro goals set to 50% carbs, 20% protein, 30% fat. Try to keep weekly average of net calories within the 1500-2000 calories range dependent on exercise. As long as I meet my protein (100g) and fiber (40g) goals the carbs and fat seem to fall into place and as long as my weekly net calories are around 1800-2000 I seem to maintain weight even without extra exercise so just being more conscious of not going above 2000 should be enough. Thank you, strength training!
6)have a light, carby breakfast, large lunch, small and early dinner. The later the dinner, the smaller and less dense it should be, for sleep and GERD.

Round Goal: Get the trend weight into 130.x, lose the extra fat, keep the muscles.

10/29 Trend weight: 131.5 Having a big breakfast is too hard to keep up. I'm not hungry enough. I looked up the breakfast habits of Greek and Japanese cultures (blue zones) and it turns out a big breakfast is an Anglo-European trend where elsewhere it's normal to have either nothing or something light like a pastry (Greece) or rice (Japan). So, this morning I had a piece of toast and an apple. It felt much better than forcing things and by noon I was hungry enough for a big lunch. I think this is a routine I can more readily keep. I decided this will be my last round until the new year with so much travelling coming up so the ultimate goal will be to maintain this round's end weight throughout the rest of this year and come back in January to work on the habits of 2024.
10/30 128.6 Trend weight: 131.2 another big drop! I wouldn't be surprised if I stayed here for 10 days again.
10/31 Trend weight: 13x.x

11/7 Trend weight: 13x.x

@steffibabiie you're so right on sustainability and natural hunger. I think my foray into giant breakfasts was an effort to break me away from restricting calories all day and then feast, and usually over-feast, at night. Yesterday's breakfast was just enough and the rest of the day fell into place. Eating when naturally hungry and only as much as you're hungry for? What a crazy idea, lol!

shmmm3 · October 2023

Anyone have ideas on what to do with leftover Halloween candy? I've rid it from my diet so I don't want to put it in the freezer at home or take it to work where it'll be a temptation to me and a sabatage to my coworkers who are all also trying to be healthier.

Goals this round: log food every day and try to beat last week's step count

10/29: 270.6 - The kiddo has plans this afternoon, but I think if we time it right we can do some more mushroom hunting before we have to do the taxi service. 🍄🍁🌰🍂 I'm going to do these challenges at least through the holidays I think--this time of year is where I get derailed because in addition to all the holidays, we also have birthdays and I am the baker for all of them. Baking is a great passion of mine and it's always been a tug of war between learning to get better at it and keeping my weight in check. I have looked for other hobbies but this is the one I have loved since childhood and have done consistently (RIP to photography, nail art, painting, crocheting, and all the other casualties of my trying to find other hobbies over the years -- we had a good run 😂)

10/30: 271.2. No surprises that the number is up today--after hiking yesterday we were craving something salty for dinner. I had plenty of calories left because I just had a protein bar for lunch, so I went for it 😂 Found lots of mushrooms! Mostly corals but a few other things. Somehow i didn't meet my step goal but it felt like we walked much farther--the hills we climbed were very steep.

@shmmm3 I have put out the bowl on a table at the end of our sidewalk so folks walking by could grab a handful. Our kid's school is always asking parents to donate snacks for parties etc. You can also donate it to a food bank. Folks using food pantries don't get treats often and appreciate something sweet.

Just joining today. Hope I am posting this where it should go. If not, can someone please help?
Starting this challenge because I am almost exactly at the same weight I was one year ago, even with a lot of consistency in tracking and movement. I am retired and know I have to be conscientious about being up and moving.

The last time we had this situation we lived in an apartment complex with lots of kids. My husband dumped it into a large zip lock bag and gave to the kids to share.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/28 …..183.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

10/29 -185.6- (Trend weight 185.5) Well, I did get a wrench thrown into yesterday’s plans. Dear Foodie Daughter ended up taking me out to dinner before I babysat DGS. It was nice of her but I am not a size 2 like her. Of course, she doesn’t tell me what to order or whether to clean my plate so it ultimately falls on me and my habits. Boy oh boy, I still have a lot to change! Even more than I’d hoped. It’s a long and winding road, isn’t it? I guess I’ll be chasing my own tail this whole round as I need to lose 2.2 lbs just to break even. Lots of water and TMI will be my saving grace. Good luck everyone this round. I am so inspired already by you all.

10/30 -183.0- (Trend weight 185.2) I started my journey weighing 253 lbs after quitting smoking in 2007. It is very difficult to admit that I have been horribly overweight for 16 years! After losing around 35 pounds on my own, I joined MFP in 2018. Today marks my lowest weight since 2018….183. lbs. And I have hit that number twice this month. During 2018 I also hit my lowest of 174.0 on October 4, 2018. I was so proud of that though I struggled to keep the weight in the 170’s and early 180’s. The covid shut-down really got me and up I ballooned, back to around 211/212. So back to the battlefield I have come to fight my obesity, my diabetes and all my weight related health issues. My next longer term goal is to get to 173 point anything to beat my lowest number in 2018. It will still be a long way off from my ultimate goal of the 140’s which, for most of my life (until I quit smoking), has been my normal weight. One stop on this train ride at a time, right? Next stop…..182’s. Today I will open the bags of little candy bars, mini rice krispy treats and yummy raspberry cereal bars to make the special bags of candy for my grandchildren. Everyone else coming to the door will be getting a Capris Sun drink pouch to help them along their thirsty little ways. I must focus on not eating any of those miniature candy bars, no matter how small and innocent they seem to me.

10/30 - 154.9 - Ouch. But expected considering I've been hovering in the upper 153.x range and the weekend was full of indulgence and dehydration (though not as bad as some weekends, there was a little bit of it). Very cold day, windchill below freezing - it was 80 yesterday morning. I'm bundled. Made soup for lunch and have a cozy dinner planned but behind on trying to log any kind of food so far. This weather has got me in a mood and I just want the cozy warm food and a nice solid layer of blubber to keep me warm haha!
