Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 241

Jen; 46; 5'4"
About Me:This is my thirteenth round and really appreciate having someplace to stay accountable.
Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. On July 4, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going. I'm a mom of five and grandma of one 4yo that I babysit during the week when my daughter is working. We live in the Pacific Northwest where we're entering the rainy season which makes walking a lot harder, and it's my main form of exercise right now. I do have access to gym equipment at our HOA clubhouse, but I still have to walk there and back (takes about 9 minutes).

11/8 - 220.4 - 3.82 miles - Made pizza tonight. As always, it's a long, arduous project, but so worth it in the end. I made a half pizza for myself with fat free mozzarella and turkey pepperoni. It didn't look very appealing because the cheese didn't really melt well (as expected), but it tasted surprisingly good. I think it was the extra stuff I put in the sauce. I'm stuffed and sore all over. Started cooking at 3:30 and sat down to eat a little before 6pm after cleaning up the kitchen except for where the cut pizzas are (will clean that later). I shouldn't have to cook until Saturday I think. There are a lot of leftovers (besides the pizza). Tomorrow I have a job interview and I'm getting really nervous. I need this job because it's the only place I can get to without a car, but also the thought of going back to work after almost 24 years is terrifying.
11/9 - 220.0 - 2.77 miles (walk) - 4.2 miles (bike) - My job interview went great. Basically the hiring manager said she'd give me the job right there on the spot but then told me to go home, talk with my family (because me working for the first time in almost 24 years is a huge adjustment) and call her in the morning with my decision. I'll be working the seafood counter which is exactly what my last job was in 2000. The hours will hopefully be 1-9:30 with Wed/Thur off (those are days I have to be home to watch my grandson). I'm not exactly thrilled to go back to work after all this time, but I'm focusing on having extra money to spend on things I enjoy. Also, my weight was down despite the pizza last night so I had a really good day. And I got to talk to my middle daughter for a bit. She turned 21 yesterday and is coming in to town tomorrow to visit.
11/10 - 219.4 - 4.07 miles - Went to Costco to restock the freezers. We had done a full refill in a long time so we were out of just about everything. Tomorrow, we need to go to Walmart for the rest of the stuff, I have to go into my new job to fill out paperwork at 12:30. Not sure how long that will last. I also need to get some pants that fit because I have 1 pair of jeans and 1 pair of khakis that currently fit. And the jeans are starting to slide off of me so I'm constantly pulling them up. Pretty much nothing else in my drawer fits unless it has drawstrings to tighten the waists.
11/11 - 219.2 - 2.84 miles (walk) - 4.0 miles (bike) - Apparently I filled this out yesterday and never posted it. Oh well.
11/12 - 217.8 - 4.0 miles - Ate the last of my pizza this morning (both slices), so I'm a bit above my calories compared to most day and still debating have a piece of Hershey bar for dessert. It might mean I lose nothing or gain a small amount tomorrow, but the candy sounds really yummy. And I did a good 4 mile walk today. It'll only add like 90 calories. Tomorrow I have to go into work to finish filling out paperwork. Then the woman that hired me said she was going to try to have me in for training on Tuesday. I have Wednesdays and Thursdays off because I need to babysit my grandson those days. I plan to make a bunch of pork roast tomorrow which will have lots of leftovers for the week (for me at least... everyone else gets bored after 2 days). Then on my days off, I'll make some things that everyone else really likes. Hopefully, the leftovers will last through the weekend. Then I'll have to figure out something easy and quick I could make before leaving for work. I especially don't want to make anything big next week before Thanksgiving. This job is throwing me way off. I've been at home cooking nearly every night for 23+ years. Not being able to make dinner is weird.
11/13 - 218.6 - 3.53 miles - I definitely ate too much yesterday. Oops. But I'm now done with the leftover pizza from the other day so I won't be having it for breakfast and messing up my whole day. Did half a small salad and half a sandwich for lunch and then made pork roast for dinner which was so good and should last me the week (my family will only eat leftovers for like 2 days so the rest will be mine). Still haven't decided if I'm going to continue my daily walks once I start work. They're hoping to get me set up an on the schedule by Friday. I think, at the least, I'll continue my walks on my days off (Wed/Thur) but unless I feel the need to get out and get some fresh air, I probably won't walk on the days I work because 1, I'll be walking around at work, and 2, it would take up over an hour of my now very limited free time (5.5 hours between getting up and leaving for work pretty much). I guess I'll see how it goes this weekend.
11/14 - 220.2 - 3.48 miles - No idea what I did wrong yesterday. I think I underestimated too much of the food (I usually don't weigh or portion control my vegetables--just eyeball it) and just ate too much then, because I didn't have an accurate count, I ate an ice cream sandwich after dinner and that was just too much. I don't know. I was a bit shocked to see that number on the scale this morning. Oh well. I tried to be good today, so hopefully the number goes in the right direction in the morning. I have two more days before I start my job and then I have no idea how things are going to work. I won't be doing my daily walks anymore (I just won't have time) and I have no idea how hungry working will make me and if I'll start snacking from the stress. I'm hoping to keep my portions under control while at work. So I'm hoping it will all be okay.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 241 (my 171st). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to get into 138s solidly, hopefully lose a pound and keep heart rate under 50 beats a minute, then longer term goal to get back to 135 in time for Christmas (less than 7 weeks!).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.

Day, Weight, Comment
SW RND 241
11/8 138.6 – and back down! No structured walking yesterday as it was raining in the morning, so I was unable to walk to my seasonal part-time job (exam. Invigilator at local school) and later met sisters for lunch, but made sensible choices, 200 calories over.
11/9 138.6 - 9 miles walked yesterday, all but 28 exercise calories eaten back - I was hungry all day!!
11/10 138.6 – no structured walking hence 100 calories over – childminding little DGS.
11/11 138 – 10.33 miles walked, the last two were “dancing” miles! 70% exercise calories eaten back.
11/12 139.6 – 5.62 miles walked, an evening out with friends, and yes I did indulge, I’d had a sensible breakfast, fruit only at lunch time to leave extra calories for the evening to lessen the damage as much as possible, today is a new day and at least I didn’t let it trigger a binge. Onwards and upwards.
11/13 138.8 - It rained all day & cold rain at that!! No structured walking hence 177 calories over.
11/14 138.4 – 9.28 miles walked yesterday, less than 10% of exercise calories given back.
11/15 137.8 - 7.88 miles walked, met with sisters for lunch, 157 calories over. Tomorrow will be my round end weight as tomorrow evening I shall be staying overnight at DS’s house.

R241 My 11th Round
HW 172lbs in 2010.
UG 130lbs ceiling
(+ 3lbs muscle/-3lbs fat)
F65, married, MawMaw Proud. Ketovore - NO processed foods/eat clean. Big protein.
Track Daily: Steps, Macros, cal, ex minutes, exercise 🔥
Track Weekly: ST 🏋️♀️ 3-4x , NSVs
RWG: 130.x BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal)
FOCUS ON PROCESS😎
ST 🏋️♀️is my #1
Develop a more reliable routine & a plan B. Calendar “me” in advance.
Also, I’m going to address the emotional 🎢 rollercoaster again by ⚖️ every-other day. Rationally, I know I’ll fluctuate but I need to find out if I was truly over it or just avoiding. Facing that fear.
Let’s GO! 💪🏻🙌🏻

11/8 132.0
Yesterday: 13k steps, 1100 cal, 122 ex min, 897🔥, ✅mac 🚫🏋️♀️
NSV: Ive tracked every crumb, step and exercise for 119 days on MFP. More than doubled average steps since tracking! (Less than 4k to 9k+)
Let’s GO! 💪🏻🙌🏻

11/9⚖️ 🏋️♀️132.8 Ho hum. Fluctuation number one.
Ok emotions ✅!

Unusual day yesterday. Played Tennis then stopped in traffic for 4 1/2 hours. Too late to walk extra steps. Experienced the WORST EVER calf cramping last night. ⬆️ magnesium/potassium today. Simply a no good, very bad, horrible day! 😂 Will travel again today, so not sure how much I can accomplish, but I’ll drink PLENTY 💧 and eat healthy. Will walk and ST🏋️♀️ before 9AM. Looking forward: Friday is scheduled to be a big movement/ stretch day! (On my ME calendar!) Going out with the girls this evening. I’ve already decided what I’ll enjoy - Ceviche and/or grilled shrimp. Rain ahead for wknd & all next week.
Let’s GO! 💪🏻🙌🏻

11/10 ⚖️🏋️♀️ 131.4
When I woke up this morning, I decided to weigh myself because I felt “light”. Strange. Maybe cause I’ve been extra diligent. So here’s a fluctuation ⬇️ the other way. Glad that my emotions are in check both ways… Must take the good with the bad… This is an emotional 🎢 win.
So perhaps my body fluctuates between a half a pound and a pound each day… I’m good 💯as long as I know I’m focused/committed to the process and making healthy choices.
🏋️♀️I did 35+ minutes of upper body and core yesterday. Sore this morn… Not a bad sore, but a good sore… Waking up muscles that need activating.
🚫steps. 4K BAD vs goal. Again, in the car most of the day and then went out with the girls last night. I had planned my walk for the morning after strength training, but ran out of time before hopping in the car.
Last Night: Ceviche was delicious and I had one tequila w/ fresh lime juice. Win!
Biggest NSV?! Said NO to chips and salsa! Wow, what willpower!
ZIP, ZERO, NADA!!!!
NSV: Remember: Loving myself with healthy choices > momentary Tastebud satisfaction! (This feeling is so much better than regret or guilt! I literally would’ve eaten the ENTIRE bowl of chips+++ and salsa because I know for a fact I cannot eat just one.)
✅ 1299 cal, 47 ex min, 🔥276 ex cal, 🚫Macros (carbs were 7% over). Protein also over but that’s a win.
Rain in our area for the next week… Today it should be scattered/light so will squeeze in steps this morn and 🏋️♀️ lower body and core. Feeling positive and grateful. Day is well-planned.
Let’s GO! 💪🏻🙌🏻

Yesterday: 11.2k steps, 1233 cal, 67 ex min, 567 cal🔥, ✅macros, 15 min🏋️♀️
Yesterday: Walked, jogged, AND skipped -total distance 4 miles, in 55 min. Not too shabby. Skipping is HARD! This was an enjoyable spontaneous sweat.
I looked at my heart rate and only 30 minutes in zones two and three (fat burning). The rest was in 4&5 (Aerobic and anaerobic). Next extended walk needs to stay longer in zones 2&3 to burn fat.
One of my fitness goals is to improve agility / balance and yes, speed on the tennis court. While “aging”, Im not quite ready to play “old lady” tennis - I want to maintain my current ability but improve stamina, agility and speed. (While I can!).
Today: If weather permits, Tennis? And/or Long walk in heart rate zones 2 & 3; ST🏋️♀️.
Let’s GO! 💪🏻🙌🏻

11/12 🏋️♀️ ✅
Yesterday: 9.1k steps, 1230 cal, 80 ex min, 357 cal🔥, ✅macros, 30 min🏋️♀️ core & lower body. Tons of 💧
NSV: Instead of mindlessly driving to go “early”vote, I chose to instead walk a delightful 2 1/2 miles. And, I monitored my heart rate … To keep me in the fat-🔥 zone. ✅ 30 of 40 min walk was zone 2&3. Victory.
I’m starting to slowly feel the benefits of increased stretching & ST🏋️♀️ (Certainly recognizing areas of my BODY that need attention.) Movement that once came easy long ago is now limited & difficult. Certainly wish to improve to help stay more fit, balanced and agile. I keep thinking to myself, oh wow, I used to be able to do that…
⚠️ LONG POST ⚠️ ⚠️REFLECTIONS ⚠️
From age five thru high school I was extremely active in competing sports. (We were a jock/jockett family). I swam competitively, took dance twice a week, & was active in multiple athletic activities. Road bikes & horses. I was also a lifeguard. In college, I played inter-murals and later as a young mom, squeezed in church league softball ….. and of course, there was always tennis.
And now that I’m 65 years young… I NOW want to be in the best shape of my life??!!!?… Is that nuts?
No, it is not. Nope. I truly want to be in the BEST shape of my life. Physically and mentally. Now. There, I said it. I don’t think I’ve ever declared it.
”I want to be in the #bestshapeofmylife!”📣
I can “blame” a 40+lb weight gain on situational stress, career & single parenthood challenges. But in truth, it’s all on me. I simply made unhealthy choices, DAILY & OFTEN …. It was MY BAD.
TODAY: Taking care of myself, planning, and being proud of smart choices & where I’m headed, is the REAL WIN. ❤️💪🏻

11/08 - 151.2
11/09 - 149.9 - I know it will jump back up tomorrow, but it's been months since I've seen the 140's...woohoo!
11/10 - 149.4 - I was not expecting this. This is a great start to the weekend and will give me incentive to stay within my plan. I also started working at my new employer this week and decided to transition to part time after almost 40 years of full time work. This means 4 day weekends which is when I have trouble staying on track, but I will figure out a way to make it work.
11/11 - 150.1 - I ate pretty well yesterday, but did have some extra sodium and carbs.
11/12 - 149.6 - Glad to see this number.
11/13 - 150.1
11/14 - 150.1 - The long weekend got to me. I'll have to figure out how to manage my eating habits.
11/15 - 149.9 - Better, it is nice to see my weight in the 140's, although just barely.

Goals for this challenge: create a habit of logging food and water daily in order to become more mindful of my eating and to relearn healthy eating habits. Mostly plant based eating for me. I'll add exercise to the next round. I just want to focus on getting the food right this time. ☑️ for logging all food on the previous day.

11/15 - I believe today's weight gain is water retention. I was pretty close to my calorie goals yesterday, but we went out for Mexican for date night, and it was more salt and fat than I usually eat. There was a lower calorie soup and salad combo that I wanted to try but even though it was a vegetable soup, it was made with chicken broth. 🙄🙄🙄 It's a shame that more restaurants don't offer more vegetarian options. 😞
Anyway, I did ask for a to go box when I got my plate and packaged up half my meal right then and there so I wouldn't be tempted to eat the whole plate. I also counted out half a serving of tortilla chips and stuck to that, and I didn't even feel deprived. I broke them into bite size pieces so it felt like I was eating more.
Not what I wanted to see on the scale but I had some good NSVs yesterday so I'll take that!
Previous Comments:
11/12 - My lowest weight in 20 years was 239 which I hit earlier this year. Then stress hit BIG time, and I gained 15. I worked a lot yesterday on getting to the root of my eating issues. I'm a compulsive overeater and an emotional eater. In reality, I just really love food! I have a lot more digging to do to figure this out.
Also worked with my accountability partner on how to set up food safe zones in my house, creating a plan for the week, making a list of go to meals/snacks for "emergencies", quick but polite responses for when I'm offered something that would sabotage my efforts, and what to do when a craving strikes, ie - Pause! Drink a glass of water, several deep breaths, take my doggo for a walk, etc and reevaluate whether I still feel the need to eat the craved food.
It was a good day of reflection and planning! 🥰
11/14 - Yesterday was a rough day and I had a mini binge after getting some bad news about my son from his doctor. It was super stressful! But I logged everything I ate and I acknowledged what I was feeling. Even made a note of it in diary in the app. And even with the binge I was only around 200 calories over my daily goal. I consider all that a victory!
And I'm amazed that we only have 3 days left of this challenge! I'm planning to reward myself with some stuff from bath and body works for finishing the challenge.
Also, I read an encouraging article on the app yesterday about making the plan the goal rather than making the number on the scale the goal. That way if you stick to your plan but don't see what you want to see on the scale, you've still reached your goal. I thought that was a great idea.8 -
I'm 30F and committed to wondering less about the scale 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.
My original goal pants are within reach and I hope to be able to post a picture of a before and after with them this round or next.
My strategy has been: All home cooked foods and no added fats or sugar or alcohol. Potatoes and legumes make up most of my caloric base. More vegetables and less meat. Logging 1500-1800 calories a day with Saturday and/or Sunday as refeed day(s) where I have maximum 2500 calories if I'm feeling like I need it. ST as much as I can and walking as much as I can.
11/8 macros ✔️ ST ✔️
11/9 out of whack yesterday and today catching up. Tomorrow will be better.
11/10 two bad days in a row but I didn't throw in the towel or embrace self sabotage so more like 1.5 bad days. Here's to a full day of good choices and doing the hard things.
11/11 macros ✔️ it's hard to get back into things when I step out. Something is better than all or nothing.
11/12 dnp
11/13 diet is still a ✔️. I'll start inching forward again and getting those check marks no matter how briefly I walked or ST.
11/14 macros ✔️ yoga ✔️
11/15 macros ✔️ ST ✔️ steps ✔️

11/08 - 190.2
Ok, new round, and I’m really aiming to clean up my act. I know I’ve said that round after round and just haven’t gotten it together. I’m up 12 pounds from the beginning of the year when I wanted to go 20 pounds the other way. I am trying not to beat myself up over it, but I have to figure out why I’ve been self-sabotaging, not just in terms of weight but other things as well. I’ve never been like this. But I’m going to try really hard this round to get back to eating responsibly and writing every day. Really. Really really. (Anyone have any reading recommendations on self-sabotage?)

Right direction, if embarrassingly high. I’m off in a few minutes to pick up ingredients for a big pot of vegetable soup so I can freeze “soup muffins” for low-cal lunches. DH is making fettuccine with clam sauce tonight, so I’m having a salad for lunch. It’s gorgeous out, so I see a nice long walk in my day. Oh, and I knitted Charlie a sweater. 😊

We ordered out Thai food for lunch, so skipped dinner. I had pad Thai, which is much lower in calories than my favorite green curry with rice! We aren’t the only ones with snack-control issues, though—I found the cat eating the dog’s breakfast! 🤣😂🤣

Ugh. Well, since I can’t seem to motivate myself to move more, I’ve decided to sign Charlie up for the American Kennel Club Fit Dog program, which requires walking mileage on a regular basis. He can’t do it alone, so I’ll be walking with him. 😁 We start today. I’ve hung pants I want to back into on the bathroom and bedroom doors as motivation, and a pic of me 5 years ago at 129 on the fridge. How could I gain (back) so much weight in 5 years? I’ve also decided to weigh only on the last day of each round beginning next round. I think I see small losses as permission to eat more, and then I regain plus. I’m embarrassed about the whole thing and grateful for this non-judgmental group. Thanks, you guys!

Yesterday was a good day. No lapses. Yay!
11/15 - 188.4
Another good day. I’m hoping to keep some momentum going through the holidays. Fortunately, we don’t have a lot of events coming up, so that’s good. I’m determined not to start the new year heavier than I started this one.

About meI'm 35 years old, married, mom of 2 year old twins. My highest weight (recently) was 153lbs. I'm trying to get down to 125. I'm trying to not just get slim, but get fit and in the best shape I can be.
I've somewhat recently got into running and have goals of running 10k (signed up for one in January) and hopefully a half marathon next winter. I see running as my 'me' thing.
I wouldn't say I've hit a plateau at this point, but I'm struggling to make the progress that I want. I reached 133 in early October, but I fell off the wagon pretty hard and am working to get back there.
SW: 138.3
Gw: 136.0
UGW: 125
11/8: 138.3
11/9: 139.8. Not too happy about this, but I know I did everything right yesterday. I ate well, stayed within my calorie goal, went for a morning walk and a run at night. So I'm just going to chalk it up to daily fluctuations. I was slightly higher on carbs yesterday and I'm a bit sore from increasing my runs recently, so it's likely I'm retaining some extra water.
11/10: 139.8. Another good day, as far as eating and activity goes. Did a 4 miles run at night, as well as a long walk in the morning. Calories were within goal. So I'm happy with what I'm doing. I'm just not too happy with the results, or lack there of. I know I'm being impatient. There may be some pms retention at play as well. But it's frustrating to be trying so hard and seeing so little results. Especially since I have seen results before doing exactly what I'm doing now. I'm hoping for the magical swoosh that comes along sometimes, making up for the lack of previous progress.
11/11: 138.9. Happy it went down a little, still hoping for another drop. Yesterday was okay, went for a walk, but no run. Eating was on track. Husband ordered ice cream, but I said no for me. It was quite difficult, but I'm determined to drop some weight.
11/12: 137.3. Happy with the drop. Water weight is working itself out. I ran 6 miles at the gym yesterday and gave the house a good clean. I ended the day with over 21,000 steps. Food was pretty good, I even said no to dessert!
11/13: 135.9!! There's the swoosh I've been waiting for! I ran 4 miles yesterday and was under my calories.
11/14: 135.9. It was a good day. I ran 4 miles. I didn't feel like going to the gym and running but I did anyway. It ended up being a really good run. I felt really good and ended up getting a PR on my 4 mile run. I felt like I could have ran all night. Food was good too, I stayed under calories.
11/15: 134.7. Yeesh, I wasn't expecting that loss, but I'm super excited about it. I've really been sticking to my calories (even though way too many of them came from a Dutch Bros drink yesterday). I've also been upping my runs lately, in intensity, frequency and length. It feels so good for everything to be coming together. I'm starting to eye the 133.2 that I had about this time last month. I'm hoping to get back there soon. I'm a bit disappointed that i regained to much so fast, but glad I'm getting back there.

11/15 - DNW - My baby girl, Rebel, crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning. I knew in my heart it was coming and was on auto-pilot this morning so I didn't weigh in. I was also up late last night at an event for BF, which also didn't help. I'm a mess right now and likely will be for the next several days. I think I will take a break from the forums for a bit. I'm traveling for work tomorrow (1.5 hour drive one-way so just a day trip, but still no chance to post), now leaving early Friday due to BF's work (he's on vacation Friday but there's a call that they're asking him to PLEASE be on so we have to arrive at the hotel early enough for him to take that rather than take our time). Saturday is the 5k and then the drive home. Tuesday we leave for 5 days and won't return until late the 25th which should leave me returning 2 days before the next round ends. I'm going to allow myself to process my grief in as much of a healthy way as possible without any kind of weight expectations or concerns. Just in case, Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US who celebrate. I'm thankful for all of you. If I don't jump in after my Thanksgiving trip, good luck next round and I'll see you in Round 243!

Previous Day's Comments11/08 - I had a self-sabotage night. BF made homemade guac and he brought out chips so I splurged on chips & guac while making dinner. Then he asked if I'd like to help him finish off the last of the ice cream and I said yes without thinking. I took m lactose pills but I was 750 (estimated) calories over goal for the day and lactose pills don't help with water retention from salt. Plus, it was too dark to take the dogs for a walk after dinner so I didn't get my step goal, either. Better today - no Wet Wednesday as there's a conflict so we're having chicken quarters for dinner with whatever sides we have at home (frozen or canned veggies included. Better than no veg!). Leftover chicken stir fry for lunch and breakfast was a fruit&protein smoothie with chia, flax, and greek yogurt. I only managed half of it. I ran 20 minutes this morning as well, since the 5k is in 10 days and I took a week and a half off of running between travel and weather! That 20 minutes was terribly challenging so I'm hoping that my efforts this week into early next will be enough to get me through to completing the 5k without stopping (even if I don't PR or even get close to June's PR. Circumstances have changed a lot)
11/09 - Better. I was well behaved yesterday. I drank all my water, started my lunch off with a soup and didn't overeat, despite being out. Dinner was light, though no veggies (just potatoes so not a total loss). Thankfully my lunch had some. Tonight is steak bites as the grill broke while cooking last night (it's old and the weld failed) and its raining so want to keep it indoors. Lunch will be the last of the Birdseye Voila frozen meal (chicken stir fry). Breakfast was an open-faced sandwich of lemon pepper salmon with scrambled egg on whole wheat toast. No walk due to rain today (and walking pad still scheduled for Monday - it's supposed to be raining Monday as well, boo) but I did do a strength workout and pedaled on the bike for 15 minutes. I've only run as much as 25 minutes/2 miles in one go in preparation for this 5k so I'm a tad worried about adding the extra 12-14minutes/1 mile to it without extra training. Hopefully it won't be too awful.

11/13 - Not bad at all for after a weekend of not logging or really leaning into my healthy habits! Not ideal, but I definitely expected to be higher today. My walking pad is scheduled for delivery this afternoon. It was raining this morning so no walk and BF got up earlier than anticipated so no workout inside. I'm cooking dinner which means no walk before dinner and it'll be too dark after- perfect for my first test of the walking pad! @potasha I'll certainly let you know how it goes! The past several days have been a blur and its been hard to remember what day it is and whether I came on to post or not. We had a Veteran's Day parade at my Goddaughter's school followed by a performance at my Godson's school for Veteran's Day. Then we went for breakfast before coming home to resume work. Saturday was a bunch of work around the house to prepare for winter as it's been getting much colder than normal for this time of year. Firewood is chopped and set out to dry in the hutch for the fireplace, the travel trailer has been moved away from the trees and winterized. Yesterday we hung out with friends for homemade chili and cornbread while watching football. Weekends will be hectic through the beginning of December so this was like a last hurrah!
11/14 - Not bad for not truly tracking. I put in estimates for lunch and dinner because I didn't have the patience or mental capacity to sit down and create a recipe on here for them. I was over, but not by much. My walking pad came in. Easiest set-up ever. Just pull it out of the package, plug it in, and go! It's controlled by a remote with a wrist band. I walked a mile at 2.8mph last night on it. This morning I jogged. I started super slow as my ankle is always a little more iffy and sore running on a treadmill. I finished off the run by taking it all the way up to it's max speed of 5mph (or about 11:55min/mile pace). I think I'm really going to like it. It comes with a little lubrication bottle and an allen wrench to adjust the belt and ensure it's lubricated appropriately. It felt solid all the way through the run and didn't seem to have any issues whatsoever at my weight. It says the max weight for it is 242lbs so I'm well under that. However, my impact on jogging was just fine and no issues there, so I'd say it's quite sturdy. @potasha It's only been used twice, once for walking, once for jogging, but so far it's definitely worth it to me! Especially as it's a colder morning than it has been lately and I didn't want to run AND walk dogs out there hehe. Speaking of, I guess I should go do that now that it's light out.

SGW on MFP: 301
SGW this round: 269.2
GW this round: 26911/8: 269.2 this morning! I am hoping this puts me firmly in the 260's. Woke up this morning to news that we are going to need home repairs - kind of stressing. However, I am looking forward to baking these acorn squash--If imma be stress eating it will at least be some high fiber vitamin packed healthy business 😄11/15: 269.5. Has it already been almost 10 days?? Low energy this morning but I'm hoping that picks up once my coffee kicks in. I have a few things in mind for Thanksgiving. Husband keeps suggesting tacos and I can take a hint 😂
11/9: 269.2. Soooo busy. Not a minute of downtime. The kid requested an orange basque cheesecake for birthday time, so that was a fun challenge. I've never made one before so i am so curious to see how it turns out. I get to be a sneaky sneak and wrap the presents in the morning while everybody is asleep 🥷 We've also got the party coming up on Saturday and all of the kids will probably not eat the cheesecake, so I'm making cupcakes tomorrow after dinner.
11/10: Young'un's birthday 🥳🎂 269. Laughs, wings, cheesecake, and presents. The cheesecake turned out great! And the perfect size to not have it hanging around for several days. I might try to figure out how to do that with pumpkin for Thanksgiving. Good day today.
11/11: Young'un's birthday party 🧁🍕🎳 270.5 this morning--water weight gain. We went out for wings last night and afterwards I baked half the cupcakes for the party, then figured out i needed another 1/3 of a cup of dulce de leche so i was up till 3 boiling another can of condensed milk. 🙃🙃🙃 Got up this morning and baked the rest of the cupcakes, made frosting and decorated them. I'm ready for a nap and the party isn't even for another hour 😂
11/12: 272. Lots of sugar and lots of salt yesterday. I'm getting used to seeing the fluctuations now that I'm weighing every day. It makes me feel better that it's normal for weight to go up and down, but I have to admit that it does make me feel guilty about eating fun food to see the water weight even if my calories are in check. Everyone had a good time at the party! My NSV is I brought home only a few cupcakes -- what the kids didn't eat i gave away to other folks at the bowling alley. Came home and fell asleep by 8, then woke up at midnight and couldn't get back to sleep until 5. So my schedule is all crazy but I'm not taking any naps today so i can fall asleep tonight. I have leftover cake so I'm going to make cake truffles to send to work with my husband and that will be the end of that! No cake hanging around for days after the event 🏆🏆
11/13: 272.2. Body is hanging on to that water, boy. It will be a busy day at work today. Went to bed at 7:30 last night. Ate a good sized breakfast this morning since I don't know what the lunch at the department meeting will be. Planning to do a few laps around the courtyard at work after lunch today also.
11/14: 271.8. Better, but geez. I've decided for sure now on making a Thanksgiving meal that will be finished in one day. Same for Christmas although i know the whole month of December is full of treat-making and giving; maybe these two meals not being week-long events will offset that. I'm interested to try the experiment, anyway! I've always cooked more than enough for six people to eat twice (at least) with leftovers for days on these holidays, so it may even be refreshing to be able to spend more time relaxing and less time shopping and cooking this year.
I am thinking about holidays and my relationship with food going all the way back to my family and childhood. The holidays have always been the time when everyone brought out their top game in the kitchen, because it would not just show that they want everyone to know they care, but also it would kind of seem rude not to do so. Nobody ever brought just a bag of chips or a premade potato salad to dinner, and if someone brought a raw vegetable tray they would also bring a dessert or side dish. I don't think I have ever not made a traditional Thanksgiving dinner before, so I'm curious about how it will feel to not be cooking for three days or more. Will I feel like I have deprived my family, or that i have been deprived if there is no cornbread dressing? Should i still make a small pan of dressing and cranberry sauce anyway (now that i think about it, cranberry sauce in a shredded beef taco kind of sounds like it would work)?

Seeing the scale go down the way it is tells me I really wasn’t logging everything I was eating before this 10 days. I’ve been logging every bite that goes in my mouth through this 10 days. Realising that to be full I don’t need as much food as I think I do. Logging everything is helping me to really think about my choices and why I’m eating.

@jlwalker6 I had a similar worry when I didn’t do a big Christmas Day spread last year. The most lovely thing was that my family understood what I was trying to do and just went with a non traditional Christmas. I think you’ll be surprised, in a good way, by everyone’s reaction to not having a 3 day feast ☺️7

For the last 3 years our daughter has hosted and made ham and turkey. The downside for me is no turkey to pick at. Last year we went and bought Boar’s Head Ovengold Turkey from the deli. I make 4 pies each year - one choice each for the “children.” This year I won’t be making pumpkin because DSIL’s mom has claimed that. Instead, I will make Pecan as that’s my DH’s favorite. I made a cranberry sauce -I hope I have the recipe still- it was delicious with BH Londonbroil in a no bread sandwich.

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

11/8 128.0 Edit - we went to Walmart around 8AM. Mail appt in the PM, HOA Board of Directors meeting in the evening.
11/9 128.5 DH was elected president of the board. This is going to be a rough year. After at least a year of “us vs them” his goal is to turn it back into the friendly community it was a couple of years ago and to rein in the crazy spending of the past board, most recently $18K for 12 chairs! All hugs and prayers are appreciated.
11/10 129.0 @4:30AM then back to bed until 6. Adult grandkids arrived, we ate at Carlito’s - I had a stuffed sopapilla and calabacitas.
11/11 129.5 OMAD Out for brunch yesterday-steak, eggs, potatoes, toast. Plumbing issue at midnight! Woke up at 3:30
11/12 130.5 Granddaughter made potato soup last night. YUM! One small bowl way later than I usually eat. Ate leftover stuffed sopapilla. So many carbs all day!
11/13 131.5 And it continues . . . Going out to dinner tonight with family again. The “kids” leave tomorrow, have to be at the airport by noon.
11/14 DNW Yesterday a road trip to Valley of Fire State Park then dinner with fam @Great Greek

11/13 -183.8- (Trend weight 184.3)
11/14 -182.6- (Trend weight 184.1) My son and I have lots of local errands to run today. Tomorrow we may travel out of town as he is getting very low on his foods (his diet is so limited from the Autism). I would much rather wait until later (maybe the weekend) for the trip so that I can try to shed this Kalamazoo weight before adding insult to injury with more travels. Hopefully we’ll find enough to tide him over while we are out today. Local prices are very high and the choices are so limited.
11/15 -181.4- (Trend weight 183.8) I had a whole (very small) cheesecake left over from my trip this past weekend. I didn’t want it to go bad/stale. I cut it into 4 chubby pieces and my son and I each had a piece yesterday. I fit it into my macros by choosing lower calorie/carb items for lunch and dinner. We will probably have the last slices tonight and it will be gone. I still can’t throw away perfectly good food. Poor is a mentality and once poor, always poor in many ways. It’s just my upbringing but I won’t let it stand in the way. I can always juggle my macros in these instances, at least in theory. #workinprogress.

Made it back to where I started. Let's see if I can make some progress these next 2 days.6 -
@jlwalker6 I ❤️ LOVE the idea of turkey and cranberry sauce tacos! I'm gonna steal it! We always have stuffing for Thanksgiving, and everyone has some. But it's the only day of the year most of us have it. So it must not be a loved food. Same with green bean casserole. I could easily skip them both. But cranberry sauce is a must. And I like a turkey so I can freeze lots of leftovers for sandwiches, salad and other good things. We love tacos with all the fixings. DONE!6

@CamandJarvis I'm so sorry for your loss.3

I'm in! I'm back for the first time since 2018 and was so excited to see that the "Just give me 10 days" thread is still going strong!! This was so motivational for me last time around
SW: 90kg (2016)
Post-babies SW: 75kg (2023)
RSW: 69.4kg
RGW: 67.8kg (revised from 68.4kg)
UGW: 61kg
11/8 - 69.4kg - calories ✅ active ✅
11/9 - 69kg (-0.4kg) - calories ✅ active ✅
11/10 - 69kg (🧘♀️ weight loss is not linear, weight loss is not linear) - calories ✅ - active ✖️
11/11 - 68.8kg (-0.2kg) - calories ✖️ - active ✅ - extra hungry yesterday so had a yoghurt and fruit after dinner, much needed!
11/12 - 68.0kg (-0.8kg) - well that was a surprise! Calories ✅ active ✅
11/13 - 68.0kg - it stuck! Calories ✖️ active ✖️ - much needed rest day.
11/14 - 67.9kg (-0.1kg) - I've been so excited about seeing that 7!! Whole family has gastro except for me (DH, DDs 2yo & 8 months). No village here to help so I'm holding the household together by the skin of my teeth 😅 Calories ✖️ active ✅
11/15 - 68.1kg - (+0.2) expected a little gain as I had that big drop earlier in the round and had double servings at dinner last night. I'm breastfeeding and there's no adjustment on here for that, so just figuring out the sweet spot for my daily calorie goal still. Any suggestions would be great! Calories ✖️ - Active ✖️ - super hungry, bit of a blow out, didn't log everything. Think I need to increase my calories a bit.
11/16 - 67.3kg (-0.8kg) - think my scale is broken as the battery died shortly after this. Will replace and see tomorrow in time for the end of the round!
