Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 250

Zaxa2021 · February 7

I'm Julie, 35 years old, SAHM to 2 year old twins, live in AZ.

SW RND 250: 132.3

2/6: 132.7. Under calories, but not quality food. I really need to eat better. Walk, but no run. A meh day, overall.

2/7: 132.8. no exercise at all. I've been extremely exhausted the last few days. I'm wondering if Seasonal Depression has slapped me I'm the face. I'm struggling right now.

CamandJarvis · February 7

For accountability, I ran nearly the full 32 minutes of the "run" plus about 5 minutes of the warmup. I did walk probably about 2 minutes up the steep hill at the bottom of the hill because it drops to a gradual incline after - I've gotten dizzy and nearly passed out on that hill before and it was near the end of my run so I decided to slow it down for a bit until I got through the worst. I ended up walking the full 6 minute cool-down rather than jog because I was just so tired. Ended up at 3.32mi for the day. Haven't run that distance since November!

I'm Amanda, 5'2", about to be 39F.

I'm excited to be back with y'all

I hope everyone here has been doing well

SW RND 250 - 133.8lbs
GW RND 250 - 132.8lbs

2/6 - 133.8. Today's activity is strength training and dog walk.
2/7 - 132.8. That's a nice little re-start

Yesterday I walked the dogs and did a 20-minute lower body strength class and 10-minute core. Sounds short but it was *enough*! Today will be a Peloton ride, dog walk, and hopefully some upper body strength training if I can find the time. This semester is hard for the dogs and me - husband and I used to take turns walking the dogs but he's been going to campus every morning. Tuesday/Wednesday he teaches in the mornings but he has other stuff to take care of early in the day the other mornings I guess. I hate when the dog walks fall on me every day when there are other areas of exercise I'd like to prioritize. Ah well, only 3 months left in the semester I guess.

I’m not off to a great start this round—snacked last night—but today is a new day. I went out for Chinese yesterday with my Monday lunch friend, stuck to stir fry, and didn’t eat dinner, but…. Anyway, I’ll do better today.

2/07 - 193.2
I ate very responsibly yesterday until about 8 p.m., when I had a bowl of ice cream. I was hungry, but should have eaten something healthy instead. Still, my calories were only slightly over my goal. Day by day.

It's been a while since I've been here, but decided to focus on weight loss again and this has always been a helpful tool for me. Lost 30 pounds last spring. then gained a few of those back. Have kept up my daily walks, but need to concentrate on nutrition.

2/6. 176 just a little more than where I started 90 days ago. That last 10 really is hard! Lol. I'll make it eventually. Right now, a healthy life is more important. I just bought chamomile tea and Tylenol pm for next time I can't sleep. Be prepared!
Ate well yesterday. No exercise. Need more sleep.

2/7. 175.8 felt better, ate fair, walked, took a Tylenol pm and 😴 slept 💤

Day/Weight/Comment
02/05 …..184.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

02/06 -183.0- (Trend weight 183.2) A nice little whoosh as I shed all the sodium from the soup from the last couple of days. Today the rest goes in the freezer pre-portioned. Thank you @tiabirdie for getting me to Challenge #250 while Jaine was at the quilting retreat and her link was corrupted. Let’s go folks!

02/07 -181.0- (Trend weight 183.2) Still flushing out that sodium/fluid retention and extra weight from that very noodl-y homemade chicken noodle soup. I’m glad to see it’s not sticking around for too long. My handymen are back in full swing. I’m excited but I also know it will tie up all my free time and make exercising very hard since there will be no privacy. There will also be furniture from the bedroom stuck in the livingroom, dining area and entry mud area for months so I will have a serious lack of space. Perhaps I can break down my embarrassment barriers and use the exercise bike in their presence. I’ll think on that.

@quiltingjaine Right now they are right in the middle of my livingroom finishing up some major tweaking on the fireplace. That is where my exercise bike and smart tv for youtube videos are. Later, my furniture will be moved out of the livingroom and my bed and furnishings put in the livingroom with little to no room left. I will be sleeping in there and everything from the primary bedroom and bathroom will be piled in there in totes and boxes. It's a very narrow livingroom. It's a dilemma for sure. T
hey leave very late most days. Even though I'm tired I'll have to fit more in at night. I'll miss walking at the school after school. They are definitely always still here during the time I can get in. Walking outside is also a no-go as I won't leave while they are here. One good thing is they will help me clean up my schedule a bit in the sleep dept. Getting up earlier than usual for them means getting to bed a bit earlier. I hope to gradually get my schedule so that I am in bed by midnight or 1:00 a.m. so I still have "me time" but can get up early. I don't require much
sleep.

I gained weight last round so I will see how this round goes before deciding on whether to reevaluate what I am doing. I am eating 3 meals a day with no snacks and getting at least 22 active minutes in per day. I stopped counting calories last round and that is probably the problem. I feel the way I am eating at the moment is more sustainable but it is probably more of a maintenance strategy.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Did you get the gas problem taken care of in your home? I pray all is back to normal and safe. [/color]

Not yet. There's no more gas smell but the oven is still broken. They are ordering parts. It's nice to have other options though (mainly air fryer) so I don't really miss it!
