Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 251

@judefit1 - my husband does the exact same thing to me and it makes me crazy. Every evening he sits there with snacks and just munches away, as I sit there in agony trying to resist the temptation or live the guilt for having given in.
The other day he made "healthy" cookies - which were theoretically more healthy than "regular" cookies in that he made them with almond flour and peanut butter so they had slightly more protein than your average chocolate chip cookie - but they still had sugar - and chocolate chips - and like you, I cannot trust myself to eat just one bite, just one cookie. It only takes the right combination of stress and hunger and I am eating 10. I am better off just not eating them. Moderation is a dangerous game for me to play when it come to sweets.
As we sat watching TV after dinner, he ate cookie after cookie and kept saying "I can't believe you don't want one of these - they are so good!" It took everything I had not to give in. I got up and made myself a chocolate protein shake to try to fool myself into thinking I was getting a treat. He asked me what I was doing, and when I said I am making myself a protein shake so I won't eat a cookie, he asked me to bring him two more cookies!!!

RND 251 (my sixth)
SW (first round) 155.8
SW (this round) 153.1
2/16 - 152.3 - Totally fell off the wagon in the last round 🙁. I’ve been weighing but not logging or posting or really doing anything focused on eating well, staying hydrated and losing all these extra pounds I’m trying to give away. It’s been a stressful week which has resulted in a loss of focus, and loss of discipline and the scale going the wrong way - which proves (again) that planning and logging works. Making it up as I go and relying on myself to make good choices when under stress and time pressures NEVER works. It seems that is a lesson I needed to learn again this week. Ran 3.5 miles today. 10 miles planned for tomorrow. 14 weeks until marathon day.
2/17 - 152.7 - not surprising given the challenging run I had yesterday - I often find my body holds onto weight after I have a long/intense run without the right kind of recovery. Hopefully with some rest and mindful recovery today in addition to being focused and disciplined with the eating and hydration, this week I will see the scale start going back in the other direction (although the pizza I had for dinner tonight will not be particularly helpful. I stayed under my calories for the day - but that is A LOT of salt late in the day - not the type of thing to encourage weight loss.)

2/17- 194.4
2/18- 194.8
2/19- 195.4 it’s interesting that my initial reaction to being up was totally fine, I know my body. I know the difference between a real gain and a normal fluctuation. My calories were good, my body feels good and I feel good.
But my initial reaction to POSTING a blip up was a feeling of failure, disappointment and embarrassment.
I’m gonna have to sit with these two very different feelings. I don’t think I fully understand how it effects me when my inner voice has this split personality of self acceptance vs. fear of judgement.8 -

Thank you @quiltingjaine6 -
@deepwoodslady :
You're an inspiration in what you've overcome and how you've stuck to making changes in your life. Forget the "should have hads" - you have it now just in what you're teaching us about thatYou have reminded me that the "magic number" on the scale will never be the end. In fact, for all intents & purposes, it is actually the beginning. The beginning of a new life, the one I could have and should have had all along.
@Leigh_b : it also infuriated me when he gains 10 lbs and loses it in a week with no real effort
Good thing I love him. 4 -

Previous R251 Daily Comments:
********************************2/16 131.0lbs. It’s important to me to have a new focus every round. (Not just a continuation of the previous round). For 20 rounds now, I’ve viewed this time as “becoming” vs “being” I’m basically at my destination- so now what? I thought “maintenance” was just about maintaining weight but it’s actually LIVING a new daily life … I want this WOE to be who I am at my core. And, how do I live each day with everything in my life supporting that choice?!…. It’s pretty simple… If it doesn’t fit, get rid of it… And start something new… And LOVING IT!! 🍀to all! Let’s get it done!
2/17 Yesterday was another non-routine day. Started reading “Habit Mechanic”. A “how to” tool book/workbook combining behavioral science, neuroscience and psychology to identify unwanted habits and start new ones. If serious about weight loss, changing any aspect of your life & becoming the best version of yourself, I highly recommend it. Today will be another cold, wet, ugly day, … I’ll be able to get in 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼. Hope to 🚶♀️but the weather may not cooperate. Food is planned.
Also want to thank @quiltingjaine and @camandjarvis for your detailed, thoughtful responses. My thinking cap is on.
2/18 I read yesterday to not focus on gaining muscle until body fat % down. I’m looking forward to speaking to my “trainer” Friday. I know it could sound to most I’m splitting hairs but ever since she told me, “Skinny Fat” … oh gosh just … oh gosh! I felt really, really bad. A friend of mine said, “WELL, I’d much rather be skinny fat than just plain ole FAT!” Well not me. I’ve been athletic most of my life, and to learn that I’m NOT “in shape” when I sincerely believed I was, was alarming … After 8 wks of going from ZERO to moderate 🤸🏼🏋️♀️, I’m definitely feeling more tone & stronger. I WILL keep trusting that the process is working & the scan shows it…. But…. ngl, I’m apprehensive about Friday. Let’s just keep focused and DO the work ….Today: very cold and extra windy (for me) 🙆♀️🤸🏼🏋️♀️ inside this morn & will🚶♀️later weather permitting. Food planned.
2/19 ⚖️ 131.2lbs
✅ all systems go & 13k 🚶♀️as well as 🤸🏼🙆♀️💗. Solid day.
Visited Renpho (⚖️) settings. I was using the old app that is no longer supported. Updated it. My stats are more in line with the InBody and make more sense now. So…. I will be interested to see how close Friday InBody scan comes to this current software/my scale. Will let you know (For all you Renfro users.) May no longer need the InBody.
I’m now one week into my new macros that I’ve hit consistently … No measurable/noticeable change…

Another 🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.

📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣
The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.
I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE.
As I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2022 ish … This is absolutely not true anymore.
While active with 🚶♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST 🏋️♀️🤸🏼routine was absent. Strength & balance are 💯most important now. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️♀️ 🙆♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus.

02/18 -179.2- (Trend weight 180.5) Pile it on, whittle it off. Gosh, I thought the scale would go down a bit more considering how hungry I was yesterday and how well I coped/starved. I came within an inch of another binge, this time it was hungry and cravings all rolled up into one. Then I looked at my watch and was shocked to see it was already after 2:00 a.m. So I said to myself, “Donna, you won’t even be awake long enough to gloat in it or bask in its sunshine”, so I didn’t do it. I must admit, had it been 9:00 pm I think I would have caved. There is more than one kind of strength training. The one with my handweights is much easier than this! I’m already starting my day off still hungry. In fact, when I went to copy today’s post to add to my saved format, I thought my computer said Pasta. It said Paste.
02/19 -179.4- (Trend weight 180.5) No real structured exercise yesterday although I worked my butt off cleaning out an upstairs closet. I’m also going through all the clothing on hangers that came out of my bedroom closet that is being renovated. I’m not through them all yet……I travel tomorrow to get more blood work done at the hospital. Hopefully they can lower my thyroid medicine again. All signs of me getting healthier after some of the weight loss I’ve been experiencing over the past year. Now…..if only I could get my diabetes medicine lowered. …..

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.

~ I had my one night of drinking with my husband on Sat night. We shared two pitchers of Michelob ultra. The scale went up a bit for that reason. I quickly recovered into Sunday and drank a toooon of water to help contend with the post-drinking munchies I still ate low carb throughout the weekend and didn’t go off the rails late that night, as I normally would have. I forced myself to go to bed with a couple of Melatonin gummies. I can never sleep well when I drink too much.

~ Ok ok.. so I did not do perfectly yesterday. But I’ll complete a report of my entire weekend when I weigh in on Monday! - Sat 02/17🟥178.1;+1.8lbs
~ I wish I would have pre-logged yesterday. Taking the rice out of the left over Home chef meal did NOT make it low carb! If I was in Ketosis I’m probably not anymore! It is a new day and the first thing I did upon opening my little eyeballs(besides putting in my contacts and brushing my teeth) was drink my 40 oz cup of water and get on the treadmill! I really don’t want to [insert in bold!!]WILL NOT!! Self-sabotage this weekend. - Fri 02/16: 176.3;-.7lbs
~ I have been snacking on the zero sugar candies my husband gave me for Valentine’s Day… but only 4 pieces at a time and I’ll eat them with a Tbs of JIF no sugar peanut butter. It hit the spot but it is the only processed food “splurge” I’ve been having lately. So the sale made sense today! - SW: 177

HW- 242
LW- 142
2024- 200.4
I’ve been slowly gaining 10lbs a year over the last few years. This challenge helped me stay focused in the past.
2/16- 194.4
2/17- 194.4
2/18- 194.8
2/19- 195.4 it’s interesting that my initial reaction to being up was totally fine, I know my body. I know the difference between a real gain and a normal fluctuation. My calories were good, my body feels good and I feel good.
But my initial reaction to POSTING a blip up was a feeling of failure, disappointment and embarrassment.
I’m gonna have to sit with these two very different feelings. I don’t think I fully understand how it effects me when my inner voice has this split personality of self acceptance vs. fear of judgement.
Look at my weight history, for example, my ups and downs are so erratic, but overall, I'm losing an average of 2 pounds a month. Snail's pace. But after a 45 pound loss, and with only a few pounds to go, I'm kind of sitting on the fence between losing slowly and maintaining. Meanwhile, my weight swings have always been wild. If you check other people's logs, you'll see some with small swings, some with larger ones, but we all have them, so we expect you to, too. Just as long as you're averaging down.
We WILL do this.6 -
He asked me what I was doing, and when I said I am making myself a protein shake so I won't eat a cookie, he asked me to bring him two more cookies!!!
I have to say that I think this was quite rude of him. My husband discovered that cookies are pretty easy to make but he knows I have zero willpower. He’ll make them, then divide them in baggies or containers and deliver them to friends around the neighborhood. He keeps some for himself but puts them out of my sight.jspecies11 wrote: »2/19 128.8# 🏋️♀️ I made bread this weekend and then ate it of course.
Of course, what else would you do with it? HUG! Actually right after the pandemic lockdown, I made bread. All I wanted was one end slice, hot, right out of the oven with a LOT of butter. I ate that and we gave the rest to a friend.

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

2/17 132.0 Just going with the flow. Macros were right on yesterday. Giving my body a chance to adjust to the change in diet.
2/18 132.0 Rode the tourist train with DD DSIL and DGGS yesterday morning. Today is my birthday. No big plans - it’s Sunday so Great Greek. I’m going all out and getting the lamb burger and feta fries.
2/19 131.5 Add 2 glasses of wine and 6 extra family members to yesterday’s Great Greek. Went and had my nails done then stopped at Starbucks for my free birthday coffee. All the years I’ve had a Starbucks card and this is the first time I’ve taken advantage!7 -

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 two parents, 87(mother), 85(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 (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). 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/Weight/Comment
2/16 – 126.4
2/17 – 126.6 So Interesting day (I am posting at night). Day started out with a bang. I entered a 5K as a walker this morning (249 people) and got my best walking pace yet and actually came in “first” of the walkers. Got home and needed to get the house put together (and a shower) as guests were coming over. Was multitasking along the way and DH was helping. I had my computer awkwardly balanced and DH knocked into it while vacuuming. Computer is now semi broken. Oh well. I can still type and post, despite the hinky screen.
2/18 – 125.6 It was a complicated day, food wise. Did not track, but I am familiar enough with what is “ok” that I went with monitored but untracked. Scale seems to agree. Started this morning with a “fun” walk. I have purchased pet backpacks, so this morning I included Han Solo (one of my cats) in my walk. Could only do one lap due to my shoulders/neck and the backpack. But it is clearly an option when I want.
2/19 – 127.2 Boing. Half priced valentines candy at Walgreens.

All my miles are walked outside, often alone or at weekends with DH. I am retired (well supposedly!, still have a casual seasonal job as an exam invigilator at a school, volunteer at a National Trust property and childmind DGS on two separate days), and so my main "job" is my walking. It is my time, the time when I plan, meditate and enjoy nature. I often do not do all the miles consecutively, sometimes in as many as 4 separate walks, if I am going anywhere if it is feasible to walk then I will!!
Thank you for introducing me to Stridekick, I've signed up to a February challenge to walk 14-20K steps every day in the month, I know I won't do every day (childminding days in particular) but maybe It will average out. 5
