Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 246

quiltingjaine · December 2023

@itladyee Enjoy your time here in Vegas. I understand the Strip is something of a mess though, due to the recent and upcoming Formula 1 races. It’s supposed to be a bit cooler with highs in the upper 50s.

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

@SheilaBoneham You can knit us all cheer outfits! That will keep those hands busy. 😁 Congrats for getting back on track!

12/28 235.4, MBS 171. They say that every journey begins with a single Krispy Kreme Doughnut..... no not really. But there is so much candy and homemade pastry in this house! Gonna be an interesting start. My goals this ten days 1) gain no weight, 2) Morning Blood Sugars down to 140's by the end of the period, and 3) log in every day. Challenging enough!

12/29 234.8. Not reporting blood sugar as I screwed up and fell asleep without taking my meds last night. Fairly responsible eating yesterday and I stayed active around the house. I'll start a walking regimen in the next day or three (still working on house organization projects with She Who Must Be Obeyed.)

53 y/o Female - 5’3”

SW: 155.8 - heaviest I’ve been since childbirth (my youngest is 14). Joined MFP in 2011 and got down to bouncing between 125-130 lbs consistently for several years. Over the past 2 years I have gained 25 lbs - with 16 of them coming in 2023. It’s time for me to get back to basics and do what I know works. Be active, be consistent, log everything.

Happy New Year! Here’s to a productive and successful 2024 🥳

12/28 - 155.8 - ran 3 (very slow) miles
12/29 - 155.0 - ran 3 miles with short intervals - did not sleep well last night so had to work very hard to convince myself to go out and run - felt hard and I felt weak - but I got it done

Round 246
Dec 28, 2023 – Jan 6, 2024

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

SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.

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. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing 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!

Day 3: I've got a 4 day "streak" on MFP for the first time in a very long time- that's a start!

2024 will be the year when I finally alter my relationship to food.
RND 246, my RND 2:
12/28: 147.6 (estimated- will weigh tomorrow AM. Added 1 lb from last challenge)
12/29: 146.6 actual! I managed to hold steady through Christmas! And I got on the scale! And that after going to a friend's home for dinner last night, which is difficult to break down. Small step forward, all downward from here...
12/30: 145.2- stomach issue, I was on BRAT yesterday, this probably won't stick...

12/28 - 164.6 – good day logging, under my calorie goal and managed to work out (30 min walk, 20 min stretch) even though I wasn’t feeling it. Even hit my macros. Subbed cotton candy grapes for dessert and it was filling and delicious!
12/29 – 164.4 - Everything logged the best I could. Went on a 3.2 mile hike with the family. Slow but steady. Under calories met macros, met step goal, drank a lot of water.
12/30 – 163.1 – planning on going to the gym and then trying to keep my calories under control on date night

Yesterday: Early 🎾fun - some 💗Z2. Had to force myself to 🏋️‍♀️after… I always come up with so many excuses… Of course, I felt terrific when I checked-off that commitment. Short on steps so walked again in afternoon. Had 🥩 for lunch and chuck burger for dinner (No bread). (Much more than I usually eat - hungry from extended workout.)

Today: ?🚶‍♀️🤸🏼🎾 Holiday dinner tonight with friends. Thinking about a water/black coffee fast starting tonight leading up to InBody 12/30 @9AM. Really want to get back to ketosis.

Today: 🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️? I may not get to exercise today, because I have to deal with car troubles again… water/coffee fast until InBody tomorrow 9AM.

1990 (Age 32) - Avg. 135 lbs
2001 (Age 43) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) HW 172 lbs

UGW = 130lbs (ceiling)

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 1/1/2015. Weight remained @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!

🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs.

8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held 130lbs till 1/1/23.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much! Ive always eaten somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was a huge issue. Started tracking 7/15. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130 determined to…. be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣

I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to maintain 130lbs as a ceiling. Pretty clear to me that once I reached a goal weight I would then relax/ drift backwards. So glad 145lbs was the max over the last nine years.

I also noticed that as I age it becomes much MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could loose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2020ish … This is absolutely not true anymore!!!!

Just popping in to join. I am in maintenance and don't weigh daily, but I would like to put 10 days together of staying on target and it is amazing to me how much better you can feel about everything after just a week to 10 days of staying on track. To participate I am going to put my RHR as my metric for the night before because my goal is to keep it below 59 which only happens when I keep to my activity and don't binge.

12/28 RHR 59 💚 Not a bad day
12/29 RHR 60 💛 Pretty good day. Had a nice 7 mile run
12/30 RHR 60 💛 Did not sleep well which probably contributes to this

I'm Julie. 35 years old. SAHM to two year old twins.

SW RND 246: 137.2

12/28: 134.8. I did it! I finally went back to the gym and ran 3 miles. Not a ton, but happy to get started after taking most of the month off.

12/29: 135.3. I ran 4 miles yesterday. It feels good to be running again. Food was okay- not great choices but somewhat low quantity. I haven't started tracking calories again, that's probably going to happen in the New Year.

12/30: 134.7. I did another 4 mile run yesterday, but that was all. No walks or anything else active. Again, food was okay, but not great choices.

12/31
1/1 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆
