Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 262

musicsax · June 10

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 262 (my 192nd). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; to lose! I need to be consistent and lose something; to get back into the 130s, should be able to break that 140 barrier now! Strive to have a feeding frenzy free round😊. Good luck everyone for success.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

@_JeffreyD_ sounds like a perfect day. Especially the strawberry shortcake!
@SheilaBoneham the frustration is real!!! Don’t give up, that number will move. It is so much easier to keep going when we are seeing results and so discouraging when we don’t. Hang in there.

At least it looks like it burned some calories!
I’d like to just stay below 177 for the rest of this round. My hormones are telling me to eat as much as I can so we’ll see how this goes.

6/10: Wonderful time with my "girls" yesterday; pedicures and lunch! And I was right- it's been about 20 years since the 3 of us spent any time alone together- 2 of us together, but never just all 3 of us without kids, spouses etc. Hopefully we can make it happen more now that their kids are a little older!

Today, lunch with old friends. I'm on a "roll" here!

Here's our pedicures, mine are the blue toes:

F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. 🚫 processed foods. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010. Lost 16lbs Aug-Dec 2023.

R262 Habits:
✅🏋️‍♀️20 min/ day or 30 min 4x per week. RECORD DETAIL.
✅ 🙏📝 🧐60 min 5x /week (Pray, journal, and research)
✅🥩110g -130g of protein
✅🛏️💤 tracking sleep

NSVs/Journey Reflections…. 👇🏻
********************************
👇🏻Review since my first R231

1. ✅Avg. close to 10k steps per day for 8+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅Healthy Habit: 🙆‍♀️ I stretch daily and that has greatly improved my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅HH: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
4. ✅HH: Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
5. ✅HH: zero to 10g of net carbs/ day
6. ✅Clean Ketovore 110-130g Protein
7. ✅HH Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM.
8. ✅💦80oz daily
9. ✅Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
10. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is inconsistent the last few rounds…

Tremendous progress since last July, but still “skinny-fat”. I want 🏋️‍♀️to become a healthy habit too. … 🏋️‍♀️20 min per day or 30 min 4x per week. Continue to journal📝 and to strive to ID unhelpful habits & replace with helpful ones.

Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.

In my dreams, I want to be 130lbs with a HARD body… 😎 But let’s face it, this could be unattainable and/or unsustainable, but I’ll give it my best … It’s a 🥕! I don’t know how long it will take. Also, rotating 110g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable.

Let’s do R262 !!🙌🏻

Todays ⚖️/ Yesterday’s #HSF & Reflections

*Previous*
*********************************

SW RND 262 ⚖️129lbs
6/5 ⚖️129.0
✅🏋️‍♀️15min 🥩133g 🚶‍♀️13k📝 🛏️💤💦. ALL!
Not sure I like a whoosh at the beginning of a round… But I’ll take it. There’s just something about being under 130 that brightens ☀️the world around me. I sincerely believe the scale reflects a full DEEP eight hours sleep last night. My variation ⬆️⬇️ last few rounds was definitely due to lack of sleep - NOT food or activity level…

Does anyone know the science behind this phenomenon of SLEEP? What happens in your body?

Yesterday was 🥵HOT with the highest humidity so far this summer… and I walked 5 mi in it… Don’t think I’ll be doing that again - was 💯 wiped out the rest of the day. Visited with DGS and took a nap. Successful with 🏋️‍♀️!

Spent at least two hours studying macros and have decided to stay pretty much where I am - increasing proteins a little with moderate fat. Staying whole food with ultra low-carb because I simply feel better …

🍀Good luck 🍀 to everyone this round!

6/6 ⚖️129.0 - this stuck?
✅🏋️‍♀️15min 🥩125g 🚶‍♀️9.5k📝 🛏️💤💦 & 🎾… ALL!
Slept 8 hrs. 😲Feels so good I have to pinch myself! (I’ve started taking magnesium, which I think is helping with sleep). Also accomplished, all of my activity goals… A winning day!
Today will be same. My body really loves routine… Will give it to her again today.

NSV-Went to watch my 🎾team play a league match last night on a sweltering summer eve… Contemplated enjoying a beer, but then I thought, let’s see if u enjoy the eve with some ice cold water vs a beer? I did! I had a wonderful evening, enjoying a tasty water w /LMNT (electrolyte drink) 🙌🏻. I learned that I don’t have to go with my first impulse and can negotiate a better option… I still do this “thoughtful negotiation” quite often, and maybe it will be with me for a lifetime… but… I’m willing to persist/embrace this new norm. #HSF

6/7 ⚖️129.0
✅🥩137g 🚶‍♀️10k📝 🛏️💤💦.
🚫🏋️‍♀️
129lbs again… Three days in a row. 7 hrs sleep! My body fat percentage has slightly improved… I skipped 🏋️‍♀️ yesterday - rest. Wonderful walk. Keeping protein up. Prayer, reading, and reflection yesterday.

I am experiencing more and more, the triad of healthy mind, body and spirit. I honestly can’t ever remember this active, real congruence in my life. There was always at least one component off-kilter. Feeling blessed beyond measure.

Our “tough love” situation is slowly improving. Don’t want to get our hopes up, but I am allowing myself to be gently optimistic. There was a small situation yesterday that we could’ve caved, but I had time to think about it & remained steadfast.

NSV: Keeping my #HSF “routine” through emotional upheavals & stress the past several months, is a win that I simply cannot adequately describe… This group /challenge played a significant supportive role. Thank you! I must acknowledge that I am learning & processing real helpful habits. But I am also aware that I’m just a few decisions away from “lapse”.

I think the most important lesson that I have learned is to force myself to slow down, stay in the present, and truly process information before reacting. My impulsivity is diminishing. To go from “reaction” to choosing an action. It started with food choices, and now I’m experiencing positive results in other areas of my life. Staying in the present moment & mindfulness is hard work. Time is an underrated commodity.

✅🏋️‍♀️10min 🥩132g 🚶‍♀️9k📝 🛏️💤 - 8 hrs !!!
Only 10 minutes of 🏋️‍♀️yesterday. I’ve been doing 🏋️‍♀️“snacks” in 10 minute snippets… Consistent in the morning, but not so much in the afternoon. I’ll definitely get it all done today.

DGS Birthday celebration is today. I’m looking forward to seeing his delight!

DH is cycling in N. Alabama. Making up for his cancelled trip to Arkansas. Eating for one is super easy!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! #HSF 💪🏻

6/9 ⚖️130.2
✅🏋️‍♀️25min 🥩89g 🚶‍♀️5k 🛏️💤 - 6hrs
Started out strong 🏋️‍♀️yesterday, but ended up, not as active. I didn’t eat badly yesterday it just wasn’t routine… I ate less protein, a minuscule piece of cookie cake & dinner later than usual. My body craves routine (widows the ⚖️) , and yesterday wasn’t having it.

NSV: I challenged myself to a trip down the waterslide 🎢 and it was a blast! I was nervous, but said what the heck… I had so much fun at DGS birthday party!
Today: Tennis and hubby gets home late!

6/10 130.4lbs
✅🏋️‍♀️30min 🎾2hrs 🥩121g 🚶‍♀️8.5k 🛏️💤 - 5hrs
Solid day ⬆️. But poor sleep last night. Hoping for nap today.

NSV: I’m thinking I failed to put the waterslide into context… I’m actually accomplishing #NSV… One year ago, I never would’ve gone down the waterslide… My goal is to “live young” for as long as I can… Waterslide is indeed “leveling up” (Not “down” right? Cause it’s not the scale!!! 😎

This is my posting format….

Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.

/sort of logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
I guess “sort of logged” is like being sort of pregnant.

Started this round with a woosh. Let’s see if I can hang on to it.

6/6: 218.6
/logged food; exercised; 80+ oz water/
I want to learn to love a “drop on the scale” more than I love a “snack on the tongue.” Very hard for me to practice delayed gratification when it comes to food. I do better in other areas of my life.

DGS (age 7) was with us a bit yesterday. He is letting DW give him some piano lessons, for now. And, we played a game of chess. He is about my speed. But I obliterated him. HA! Actually he shows a lot of patience along with his frustration.

6/7: 219.2
/logged; didn’t really exercise; 66 oz water./
I didn’t really exercise, but I was on-the-go all day.

I attended the second of four funerals in this two week period… first two were for good friends (unrelated) who died way too early and quickly from pancreatic cancer. Both are “in a better place now” as we like to say. They showed us both how to live and how to die. Inspiring. Third funeral today.

Speaking of food focused social events, tonight is our monthly get together with fellow former employees of an architectural firm. First Friday of the month. I call it an alumni association. We take turns picking the place and this month is my turn. Good opportunity to make a good choice (maybe no fries? Skimp on the bread? Drink mostly water? Enjoy conversation more than food?) I will be happy to hit on at least two of these.

6/8: 222.2
/No, yes, 66 oz water/
Todays gain is everything I ate yesterday plus the retained water due to salt fest. It is still in there. I did meet a couple goals last night, but the funeral meal at noon was the game changer.

Thanks to all for hugs.

6/9: 220.0
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
Did some fishing with DS and DGS yesterday. DGS wanted to give our fishing team a name. That was so cute! We settled on Epic 3G Fishing Team. 3G stands for 3 generations. DGS major contribution was investigation of our fishing site for bones and abandoned fishing tackle. Ha!

Went to a local festival last night and enjoyed an Eagles tribute band. It was good. So was the strawberry shortcake.

6/4: 221.2
SW on day before this round.

6/10: 219.2

Only one more day under 220 to reach goal #4. Need to make it happen tomorrow.

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.

Thank you quiltingjaine for keeping this going!

Heaviest Weight Ever: 186.0
186 / 185 / 184 / 183 / 182 / 181 / 180
179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170 👉 169

Goal: Calorie Cycle for a weekly average between 1200 - 1500. Eat more vegetables and fruit. Drink 80oz water each day. Walk. Start building strength back using light weights.

June 4: 176.4
I have one goal this round - to hit 175.X! I have been 176.X way too long.

June 5 - 176.4
June 6 - 176.6 - I'm stuck at 176.x. Instead of saying I'll see a drop soon, and then don't, I went back to look realistcially at my calories. I calorie cycle but to be honest with myself, the cycling has been more on the high range and NOT an average of 1200 - 1500 (and I had a day somewhere in there of bingeing on pecans). Even though I'm not gaining (and very glad for that), I do believe I've been close to maintenance. I don't think I've realized that my maintenance number is a lot lower than it used to be. I'm older and because of health issues, I'm not as active. I'm going to get back to making sure I'm including the lower range, too. I'm going to go out on a limb

and say that I WILL see 175.x this round because I'm going to adjust what I'm doing!!

June 7 - 175.2 - My calories have crept up each day and yesterday I got back to including lower ranges in my calorie cycling (1076 calories). It did the trick. We'll see if it sticks tomorrow, but for today, I'm thrilled I did not see 176.x again!
June 8 - 175.0 - I believe I'm officially over the 176.x groundhog days. Thank goodness!
June 9 - DNW

June 10 - 175.0 - I read yesterday that Americans typically only get 10g to 15g of fiber. I have been concentrating on getting more fiber but tracked it yesterday and hit 22g. Today I'm shooting for 25g, and then slowly increase to 30g. I drank 80oz of water yesterday.

End-of-2024 Goals—weight 170, walking 5 miles most days.

Day. Weight. Comments.

6/05 - 198
Phooey.

6/06 - 197.6
I’ve decided to follow the Mayo Clinic diet, starting yesterday. It is science based with an emphasis on fresh veggies, whole grains, healthy fats, not much meat, and exercise, which is essentially what worked for me when I lost 40# in 2015-16. It’s also an approach that won’t cause havoc with the chef, aka DH. 😊 I finally, finally, finally feel motivated.

6/07 - 197
So far, so good. I wanted to snack last night, but nibbled 1/3 cup of blueberries and that satisfied the urge.

6/08 - 197
Stayed on track yesterday calorie wise, but we ordered out for late lunch/early dinner. DH wanted pasta, so I got just meatballs, no sauce. Lots of sodium, I think. Anyway, I’m sticking to the plan, so all good.

6/09 - 197.6
Man, this is frustrating. My calories the past 4 days have been 1173, 1224, 1179, 1283, and I’ve been walking and gardening, and after thinking I was headed down, boom, I obviously am not. I know I shouldn’t dwell on day to day ups & downs, but it is frustrating. Maybe I should weigh once a week or once a round so I don’t get slapped in the face by my scale so often. Ugh.

6/10 - 196.8
Finally!

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

UGW-150, then 140
RGW-170 Thank you @quiltingjaine !!!🌸

6/5-176
6/6-174-Had 1/2 of a sourdough roll all other food was on track. Rode the horse and did housework. The evening before I did yard work until it got dark. It’s still 90 degrees here after dinner…it’s bearable but you sweat like crazy.
6/7-173-Good choices and no alcohol but lots of water and iced tea. Worked on the drip and it was 100 degrees, so, I brought it all inside and would assemble it inside and go out and install it. That made it bearable. Today won’t be as hot. Garden and horse in the morning.
6/8-173-Finished the worst part of my drip project then turned it on to water.Many hours later, after I was showered and sitting in bed and winding down……. I realized I never manually turned it off.🤦‍♀️
DH was asleep on the couch as I tiptoed outside to find my precious pollinator garden floating at 11:30 p.m. Oh well, everything should survive the heat!
Off to my dad’s house to see my sister and cousin to go over boxes of old family photos. Made a loaf of (evil) garlic herb bread to take, that I just want to taste. Dad eats keto and BBQ’s great and the food is always good.

6/10-176-Left over weekend weight gain.The worst part of the heat is over. Still more to do before the whole yard is on drip. Not a crazy day but it will get warm, so I need to do as much as I can this morning.

Notes for today 6/10: Had a really difficult situation Friday night with our adult kids regarding judgement of one to the other and judgement of how we are handling the issues of our oldest child (27). We had them all over for dinner and no one stayed for s’mores. I hadn’t planned to eat any and as soon as everyone left I tore into the Hersheys chocolate (3 bars). Absolute numbing. Didn’t help, of course and felt puffy and then the sugar monster was awakened. Went to the Oregon coast with DH to just get some space from the situation on Sunday and had a lovely time. He flew his kite, and thankfully, is choosing healthy eating and so there was reasonable consumption of food at lunch. It was a good break and reset.

@Skyleen75 The stop sign garden is beautiful. What joy it must bring to so many! I admire your dedication to keep it up (and in secret 🤫) for the memory of the man and his brother.

F, 34, 5'1

R262 Starting Weight:182.6
HW: 183.2

This is my first round, but not my first journey. 10 years ago I went on a fitness journey and lost 50 lbs. Now it is 2 babies later, 20 lbs heavier and 10 years older than the start of the first journey. I recently eliminated/started working on all of the stress in my life. I got myself to therapy to work through ADHD and FINALLY got outside to start my garden! I have been going on walks almost every morning and am ready to keep up my fitness habits finally.

I am here to take back control of my life, one small step at a time. I am looking to have 10 straight days of better habits

6/5: 182.6- Starting off in a pretty positive mood (even though I am deep into my 2nd day of my period

). My birthday is in 2 days and there is lots of time off work coming up this month to spend by myself and with my family!
6/6: 181.8- Insanely tired today but a lot to do. These are the days I usually end up with a surplus of calories! My youngest is having a moving up ceremony at daycare tonight to move up to Pre-K. How the time flies....
6/7: Birthdayyyyyy. Did not weigh and ate a whole lot of cake

6/8: 181.4- Breakfast, shopping & finally cleaned out my garage to be able to work out! However, no time today= a whole lot of quick/high calorie foods.
6/9: 182.3- My oldest had his final soccer game of the season. He inspires me constantly to get off my butt and go have fun.

6/10: 181.6- My weekend was craaazzzyyy. I had maybe 15 minutes of downtime each day. But I am feeling good! Usually that would mean that I absolutely BINGE on a whole lot of quick food to get through it. That may have been true on Saturday, but it was one day so I am ok with it. It's getting a bit easier to not feel hungry 24/7. Plus, I am learning to keep better snacks around me that will keep me full instead of grabbing every sugary snack laying around.

How about giving yourself some grace for a bit? You’ll be back to your normal self soon enough.

2. “What if I can’t do it?” See #1 Push yourself to do what you can.
3. “I won’t be perfect.” Yep, embrace the suck, develop a growth mindset.
