Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 257

Sweetzyd · April 19

I'm Crystal! I am aiming for 1200 calories/day, less than 90 carbs and low sugar. Recently added more protein to my diet and walking on most days.

RND 257 So far in April, I've met my goals every day along with daily exercise. I aim to finish off April with no "cheat days"!

4/16 172 Light eating day yesterday, I just didn't have much of an appetite. Looking at the dates of this round reminded me that my youngest boy's birthday is next week (the 24th). He'll be 6. He is the happiest and sweetest little boy and he brings such joy to everyone ❤️.
4/17 170.2 I was waiting for a drop. I could tell my body has been holding on to water. Also have barely had an appetite for 2 days, so I was a good bit under on calories both days (not complaining about that 🤪). Weight will probably go up a little when I'm eating back to normal.

4/18 170.2 Another good day yesterday. Feels good to set goals and actually stick with them. I set another goal for myself this month also to not bite or pick at my fingernails. (I know it sounds gross) Just something I've been doing since I was a little girl. Bad bad habit that I've never been able to break. Although my nails still aren't long, I have more nails now than I ever have and I can actually paint them 😀.
4/19 171.5 Weighed myself 2 hours early this morning before I really got moving around. Seems like I weigh a little more when I first wake up. Yesterday was another good day with all goals met.

4/19 - DNW - I ended up waking up right as BF came back from the gym and it threw me off routine so I forgot to weigh. I'm not upset about it, I'm still dealing with some horrible TOM/PMS including bloat so it's probably better I don't see the scale and add one more reason to be down on myself. Instead, I told myself I was going to have a really good run and I did. I repeated the Peloton 60 minute walk/run and I feel like I did better (at least I felt better) during this one which is good. I'm tired and sore (hills) but I feel accomplished. I ended up getting a coach for the next 4 months. Typically they do 6 months but since I'm ahead of the game compared to her normal clients, she's starting me at 4 with option to continue after that. Our focus is nutrition but I can ask small things about exercise and mindset or I can choose to add in those coaching modules for an added price at any time, too. Due to budget I'm sticking to the number one thing I feel like I could use the most help which is nutrition. I'm excited to start Monday! I think having the monetary investment will keep me accountable and the added accountability to my coach will keep me better focused and more aligned with goals than trying to do it on my own. I know how to eat right, but I'm still very unbalanced macro-wise which is what she'll help me with. Progress, not perfection!

Previous Day's Comments

4/16 - DNP
4/17 - Busy with work and completely forgot to check in and post! Oops. Doing pretty well so far. BF skipped out on the gym this morning but I went and had a really good back&shoulders day by myself. I'm suuuuuper duper sore in my legs from Monday so I think I'm holding on to a little weight from DOMS. I just got my 2 new recipe books in, both Paleo (Well Fed and Well Fed 2). Meals planned out for today and feeling capable. Hopefully work is productive but not overly stressful. Yesterday was a good balance and I'd be okay with that again.
4/18 - TOM and with a vengeance. For what? I don't know. I knew it was going to start today and it hit right as I started my workout. Ouch. I'm super bloated and horrid cramping so I'm taking it as easy as possible the rest of the day. Explains the scale, though! Almond butter oatmeal for breakfast. Chicken pot pie soup for lunch, dinner will be ground beef and broccoli. Depending on if I need to be on a work call about 10pm tonight, I'll wake up and run (last run before the 10k next weekend). BF going to the gym for a second round of legs. Work is busy busy busy and stressful. Can't wait to get this part of the project DONE

04/16 -182.4- (Trend weight 181.8)

04/17 -182.8- (Trend weight 182.0)

04/18 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) Leaving this morning for the Cancer Center. I’ll probably take a couple of days off weighing until I can get back on this journey with some normal diet and exercise. Eating my meals in restaurants, getting no exercise or movement and doing nothing but sitting is not part of my journey. I’ll post numbers when they better reflect my efforts or my disregards, not my stuck-withs. I’ll keep up with reading the posts as best as I can. I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty scared and shaken up about this re-check. I’ve been through a lot these last couple of years and all of this is not normal par for the course. I’ve had 3 scares before with a few years in-between each. All 3 times was cancer (or pre-cancerous). I am trying to stay hopeful. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes.

04/19 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) So I am relieved to say that I’ve “passed the test” so far. Doctor said if there was a 2% or better change in the mammogram findings I would have to come back for a biopsy. I was 1.4% so I’m in the clear for now. However, they will do another diagnostic mammogram (not a screening mammogram) again in 6 months to continue to monitor. I am so completely grateful and feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of me. Except in the hip area. They feel squishy and more “bloated”. A few more days of no weighing for me as I let all the travels melt off me. Oh, wouldn’t it be nice if it were that easy? Thanks again everyone for your kind words of encouragement and your prayers.

04/20 -xxxxx- (Trend weightxxxxx)

04/21 -xxxxx- (Trend weightxxxxx)

04/22 -xxxxx- (Trend weightxxxxx)

04/23 -xxxxx- (Trend weightxxxxx)

@deepwoodslady I wasn't until now. Thanks a lot.

RE: Mario tune - I’m so glad I have NO IDEA what this tune is!

@SModa61 Are Fat Boy Jr smaller than Fat Boys? Fat Boys are the favored dessert after bingo here.

4/20 185.8 it appears that I did not actually hit post reply yesterday after writing. Oh well, my thoughts and responses are lost to the ether (where they probably belong).
My best guess for this upswing is 100% hormonal water retention. Unexpected and not based on the calendar. After a lifetime of TOM bring very regular I’m entering a new phase in life that is slightly irregular. Ugh I’m hoping I get through this without too much discomfort (physically and emotionally).
I think my DH is hoping he survives this too! Based on my reaction to his leaving the sponge in the bottom of the sink yesterday, his life is definitely in more danger then mine!

4/16 178.0 That was a pretty good drop since yesterday, so I won’t be surprised with a bounce tomorrow, if there is one. Had a great walk in the neighborhood last night. The weather has been picture perfect the last few days! Food has been on track now for quite some time. I’m craving protein at night recently but so far I am resisting once I’m done for the day. I’m happy with the macro levels I am currently achieving. We are moving Dad into Assisted Living next Wednesday, so I'm having trouble shutting my brain down at night. Only getting about 5 hours of sleep these days and that's after I get up and finally take a nerve pill. I know Assisted Living's the right thing to do, and he seems to be ok with it, but I just worry.
4/17 178.4 Did a yoga session right before bed and that did seem to help me get to sleep. Today I need to get in a good walk.
4/18 178.4 No real exercise today, but some yoga before bed to help me sleep.
4/19 178.2 Got in a long walk after dinner and it felt great to get in some real mileage. I did find out that Medicare will pay for a gym membership through the Silver Sneakers program, so I may give that a try once it kicks in and I have a little more time for myself. They have water aerobics and a circuit training for us OAPs (LOL) that maybe my knees can handle. Plus, of course, you have access to everything else there. I used to enjoy my gym before Covid. We'll see. I gave in and had a chocolate milkshake with my granddaughter and my dad, so yesterday was my highest carb day since starting this. I guess we will find out if my walk and only eating salad afterwards will prevent a bounce.
4/20 177.6 I’ve increased the distance of my walks and am really enjoying that after dinner. Hubby starts out with me most of the time and then I finish after he goes back to the house. But now I'm going a lot further than I was before. I am sleeping better, so I’m hoping to be able to keep this going.

And so it begins again. A fresh start for everyone.
I am very pleased with this morning’s scale reading. Last night I helped in the kitchen at church for an event. When I “filled” my plate afterward to sit and eat with the other helpers I erred on the side of excess. Still managed to stay under my budget thanks to exercise calories eaten back. I will do that within reason, but I try not to eat them all back due to possible errors in logging.

The true bump may come tomorrow, so I will be careful today.

This morning our local chamber of commerce has its annual “forecast breakfast.” All the taxing bodies will go to the podium and give an update on what’s happening at their end of the world. Village, School District, Library District (I am on the elected board), Park District, Police & Fire. It is always interesting. My former firm has done (or is doing) design work for all of them. The highlight is pumpkin pancakes. This should be my big meal of my day.

This new decade of pounds I am in has a mild inspirational effect. I know I am too close to the 220’s to get too happy because there WILL be a bump up. (pumpkin pancakes for example) But five days in a row under it is meaningful.

Striving for the next decade.

By the way, I know “decade” is the wrong word. Can’t think of anything better this morning. Any ideas?

/logged; exercised; 64 oz water/
Happiness with this. As it turns out I CAN enjoy a pancake without falling off the wagon and having ten.

4/19: 219.6
/logged; no exercise really; 70 oz water/
Well this is unbelievable. Seven days in a row on 219.x. Some may say I am stuck in a rut, but I say bring it on after so many weeks putzing around in the mid 220’s. And I was a bad boy yesterday.

4/15: 219.4
Starting weight on day before this round.

4/20: 221
/logged; exercised; 81 oz water/
Remember when I said I was a bad boy yesterday? The chickens came home to roost this morning. Especially after the “cavalcade of salty foods” I ate yesterday. That’s right, I called it a cavalcade. I could have used procession, parade or march. It was quite a kitten show. (I typed the word kitten to save MFP the trouble.)

Seeking a feeling of hunger today. Finding it then denying it will be my formula for success just for today.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
