100 day Challenge April 10 – July 17.24

@deepwoodslady

Sending you good thoughts and prayers. 🙏

@dawnbgethealthy

I just listened to that podcast while I picked up sticks in my yard. Very interesting. I always assumed if I fasted I would lose more weight and lose more fat. Thank you for sharing that.

Keeping a good thought for you and that new job.

My goal is to be proud of my weight loss.

Day 01 80.1 kg, I did my planned exercise but I overate a little bit (I'm tracking my intake), since I started tracking I've eaten out 4 times and I need to compensate for those times. I read "most people who lose weight will regain it within 5 years", I checked my old numbers and I'm 3.5 kg under what I weighed 5 years ago. I guess I'm in that category. I talked to my partner about my weight loss (something I'm trying to do less often).
Day 02 80.0 kg, I ate below my ideal which should help me recover from previous overeating. I did my exercise sessions.
Day 03 80.1 kg my eating is on track for the last 3 days but I need to recover from the previous 9 which averaged too high. I exercised and that's on track too. Disappointed that the scale is headed in the wrong direction but...
Day 04 79.4 kg a big loss today. I did a lot of walking, I had sugary food for the first time in 8 days. I overate. Recently there have been 6 days when I overate a lot, I had sugary food 5 times. Coincidence?
Day 05 79.8 kg just a normal day where I am good, no overeating and exercising is as required
Day 06 80.4 kg I started two personal challenges, I had some sugary food because I won't be having sugary food for a while, so on Tuesday I gained...
Day 07 80.6 kg my eating and exercise went well, still need to recover from the overeating episodes, maybe in 2-3 days that will happen
Day 08 80.4 kg

Hi!
I think this is my 1st time joining the 100days Challenge.

We are heading to a great Mexico vacation the end of July, so this Challenge will be great to get me swimsuit-ready!

I'm only 4'11" - so wicked short. Every 5 pounds mean a bigger dress size: Ugh.

Starting weight = 121.0
4/16 - did not weigh

Week 1 actual weight: 65 kg. Well, maintaining is better than gaining, I guess. Soooo hard to give up bread - I wound up eating cake. It wasn't because I was craving sweetness - I think it's the white flour I'm addicted to. Even then, the bread (the amount I ate) wasn't super high in calories - but the peanut butter and cheese and spreads that went on it! I think they're the real culprits. Perhaps if I stuck to bread and salad filling without mayo....?

No, rather I'm going to try IF. No eating between 8 pm and 12 noon. As long as I don't overeat in permitted hours - which I don't think I will as I dislike feeling stuffed - it should reduce the overall calories I'm consuming. It doesn't seem to work for me to try cutting out some foods entirely - I wind up either caving, or indulging in something else.

Personally, IF has been working really well for me, with a similar eating window. I also do a version of "calorie cycling" which I feel like has helped me a lot - it lets me indulge my cravings a couple days a week and still maintain. Mon-Fri I do avoid anything with flour (unless I really, really want it ha ha!) Sometimes trying a new thing is the "spark" that is needed!

Sorry my post for today, the 17th is so long, but it's where I'm at in my journey right now.


Day 01- Wed Apr 10th: 175 30 min on bike; 5# wts aggravated sore shoulder so only 1 set of 12 for 3 movements.

Day 02-04/11 -- 176.4 Insomnia, only slept 4 hrs. finally just got up. Weigh in is skewed b/c already had lg glass of water. 7 hr road trip for appt 3 ½ hrs north.

Day 03-04/12 -- ?? can’t remember. Was early and didn’t write it down. Long 16hr day as we traveled to a funeral, then did a couple of other quick stops. A high carb day as I gave myself permission to have 3 bunwiches during our travels, then a sourdough dinner roll to go with my whiskey to relax down before bed.

Day 04-04/13-- 175.6 Expecting a wt bounce in the next day or two after yesterday’s extreme carb day. Now to totally focus on achieving some wt loss goals so I won’t feel like the old fat lady at the next ‘event’. 😉 I’m okay with that, it was/is what it is, but that doesn’t mean it has to be forever.

Day 05-04/14-- 177 (5:30am), Worked

Day 06-04/15-- 176.8 Worked. Snowing in the evening ☹ **sheesh**

Day 07-04/16—176.2 Just a skiff of snow but more’s falling this morning. Good grief!! Leg muscle seized when getting into car in a.m.; “touchy” all day. Right now the struggle is getting real. Sore, tired, feeling ‘stooped’;
As evening progressed, I reflected on “where I am at right now and Where I Need to get back to”. Dug out old WW “Success Handbook”; Listed 10 strengths; Set a new “Step to Success” goal ~ Food journal, not just recording foods, but using it to plan my next meal or snack.

Day 8, Apr 17th: 174 WW “Success Handbook” reminds me that “Motivation is a circle”. Top of circle is your most highly motivated state. As your drive starts to slip, it moves down and around to the right, like the nands on a clock. At the bottom of the circle is a less motivated state, where you may experience a plateau and start to disengage.
At the 9:00 or 10:00 position, this is an all-out unmotivated state. You may not care what happens anymore. May be gaining weight, losing hope, and perhaps even thinking about ending your wt loss journey. But the point is that even when you are feeling the least motivated, you are never too far from the highly motivated state.
The low point of motivation is very close to the high point, 12:00. That’s because the low point my trigger something – like weight gain, and in my case, pain and discomfort, -- that can kick you right back into the highly motivated state. So those times that you feel the worst are actually helping you get to your goals.
You can move around the circle in either direction; if you sense your motivation sliding down to 3:00, 4:00 etc, you have the power to nudge your motivation back up to the top of the circle.
I’m back at 12:00!!

Remembering that “A football game is won one play at a time, not one long pass and run to the goal line”. It’s like my QB has been badly sacked and “we’re down”. But the game is not over. Time for a new game plan, and to begin a slow march to goal, one play / choice/ day at a time.

Day 9, 18th
