Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 266

RichardHaw · July 18

Just joining this round, was doing well but then got a little side tracked with location changes (turned migratory in the last 2 years and settling into the routine this year). Was doing well down south (Florida) but back in Michigan for the summer and falling into old habits of too many carbs and put a few pounds back on, need to get that changed.

So looking to get back to tracking what I eat and holding myself accountable for bad behavior.

@SheilaBoneham all of my hyssop bloomed white this year! I love that smell, especially in the spring when I’m thinning out the over eager seedlings.

@Jensmakingprogress Two Miles!!! That is fantastic.

7/15- 173.8
7/16- 174.2
7/17- 175.0
7/18- 175.2 absolutely the wrong way! I haven’t been falling into my known self sabotage traps like car snacking or feeding a craving monster. Eating basically the same foods but I have been doing my bigger meal between 2-3 and then my usually afternoon bowl of cereal has been in the evening.
My “bowl” of cereal is definitely a carb/calorie landmine and resembles the serving size that a teen age boy would think is normal. I’m eating this within an hour of bedtime. It does fit into my daily calories but it’s definitely the wrong food, wrong time.
I’ll have to make some adjustments because sitting here saying “I don’t know, I’m doing everything right but it’s not working” isn’t going to help me make the changes I need to see progress! Time to take an honest look at all of my serving sizes.
Tonight is Trivia Night, the bar has a very limited menu and it is a sodium/fat/calorie bomb factory. My plan is to eat before we go but I’m sometimes unrealistic about the actual amount of time I have.

I do not expect tomorrow morning to be a great scale experience. Can I keep bbq sliders out of my mouth tonight in order to receive the delayed gratification of a good morning weigh in? Stay tuned.

I’m a serial dieter/gainer whose weight has varied by 50 lbs over the years; I’m working to change my relationship with food. I joined this group in 12/23 at 147, lost 22 lbs and reached my goal in 4/24. I’m now working to understand my patterns so I know where my pitfalls are. My goal is to remain within the same 3-4 lb range for good!

Hi everyone! I’m 34 years old and 164 cm (5’ 4,5”). I have a very sedentary life, since I am a PhD researcher. I work mostly from home.

I aim to take 1600 calories a day and reach my macro goals (40% carbs 40% fat 20% protein). I am not crazy strict, but I don’t wanna be too loose and off the track either.

SW: 105 kg (20 June)
UGW: 70 kg

RND 264 SW: 104.4 kg
RND 264 EW: 103.6 kg

RND 265 SW: 103.1 kg
RND 265 EW: 102.8 kg

RND 266 SW: 102.9 kg
RND 266 GW: 101.8 kg

7/15 - 102.9 kg
Yesterday was a “cheat day”. My partner and I had friends over, we watched Euro finals. I ate great foods, no regrets. I still controlled myself, didn’t binge. I listened to my body, I ate what I really wanted. For example I didn’t eat much crisps and fries, just a few, but I ate two small squares of a cake I baked (low fat). I didn’t have any drinks (on antibiotics). But we ordered veggie burgers, which was very high in calories and fat. I rarely order though… I am just sad a bit because I was 102.3 in the middle of last round. And it increased without an obvious reason in that round. I hope I will see 101s this round!

7/16 - 102.8 kg
Yesterday I wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t cook, so I didn’t eat nutritious food. In terms of calories it was still fine but I don’t even checked the macros, I am sure they were bad.

7/17 - DNW

7/18 - 102.6 kg
Good to see lower numbers on the scale… However, I lost my motivation a bit to be honest. My macros haven’t been good recently. I eat more carbs and less protein than usual. I should be more careful.

R266 - #36

SW ⚖️ 130.4lbs

Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
#HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
#helpfulhabits R266 Let’s Go! 💪🏻🙌🏻⚡️

About Me:
***********
F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (ProteinG> (Cg+Fg) A clean/whole food WOE- (🚫processed foods). Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010. Lost 16lbs Aug-Nov 2023. 7/31/24 will be one year in this challenge!

👇🏻July Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of July:

1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and kcals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan through July. It is supposed to support muscle gain with fat loss while 🏋🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️ 🎾. I will continue to track NSVs/macros/ activities, etc. to learn about my body.
2. 🙏📝 🧐 - I will continue to pray, journal, research. This is my aspect of “leveling up” because I am nothing without my relationship w/Jesus Christ. I’ve also grown into loving/enjoying learning about my body & healthy aging. Replacing BAD habits w/ GOOD habits is a journey in itself. This practice helps me stay present /mindful of many decisions/ thoughts/ actions that impact not only nutrition, but improves self-talk & interactions w/others.
3. 🏋🏼‍♀️this is my biggest challenge. I still don’t like it. Not one bit. I have some days that it clicks, but it’s a daily struggle. Living “fake it till I make it”… Faking my “identity”. My hope is that some 🏋️‍♀️version eventually becomes a healthy habit. I’m working on a minimum of 10-minute “🏋🏼‍♀️snacks” 2-3x per day, 5x per week. Gosh, how I wish someone, ANYONE would have told me in my earlier years that 🏋🏼‍♀️is the key to fat-loss / maintaining - NOT cardio. I was brainwashed.
4. Healthy Aging - includes mobility, flexibility, balance and agility. While I do stretch every morning plus “stretch snacks”… I want to up this game… I will start to add “sprints” (which is NOW only fast jogging… 😂) and plyometrics (celebrating a 2” vertical jump) 😂. I read to “sprint” is vital as we age…..
5. I have much “work” to do with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & my overall health will not flourish without this being acknowledged and improved. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until I reconcile this part of my life.
6. Sleep- This is a big one. I’m usually fast asleep by 8:30-9PM. I can’t stay up later…. I love getting up early. I’m good with a 5AM wake up but I want to sleep soundly through the night. Will continue to prioritize this key component to health and well-being…
7. Have fun… lighten up … & give myself permission to be spontaneous. (This is THE HARDEST)!!!!

👇🏻Review since my 1st R231 7/31/23 NSVs/Journey Reflections
******************

1. ✅HSF: Avg. close to 9k steps per day for 11+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - #HSF 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅#HSF: 🙆‍♀️ Daily stretch greatly improving my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅ #HSF 📝 🙏 everyday
4. ✅#HSF: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
5. ✅#HSF : Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
6. ✅#HSF : zero to 15g of net carbs/ day
7. ✅Clean P:E 115-130g Protein
8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
9. ✅#HSF 💦80oz daily
10. ✅#HSF Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
11. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…

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

Rotating 120g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

⚖️🚫 on sleepless nights. Rotten mood usually when I crawl out of bed at 2 AM. Why make it worse? Wanting a positive day with our DGS…. Will peter-out at some point. I’ll fuel my body and drink lots of 💦. Determined.

NSV: yesterday morn I put on a tennis skirt that I had purchased in April that fit well (at the time). Was so loose yesterday I didn’t wear it. In April, I was the same weight I am now…. The ultimate confirmation my body is changing. 💪🏻

Yesterday was an almost perfect day. Stretch, 🎾, plyo, sprints, DGS, soccer, sprints again & 🏋️‍♀️ with him! All on 4-5 hrs sleep. Wiped out by 4pm. Today won’t be as much activity - will read, journal, 🙏 reflect. Grateful & present.

Scale? 🔄Fluctuating 2 to 3 lbs for a few months now. 🤔Was 129 four days ago… (Is 130 g -140g of protein too much? -will drop to 120ish). And no naughtiness in sight!😎 This happens pretty consistently now… Not sure if this is a fluctuation or a muscle gain? A new me? Such intense workouts…. And inconsistent sleep. I’m still on plan with a loose tennis skirt. #HSF

I want to build on the mild success of the last round. I will not be around a scale starting on the 22nd. I will be around foodie friends and eating out for a couple weeks after that, so I want to build my consistency of logging this round. Actually pay attention to what I shove into the old pie hole. Behave as if each bite has consequences. When I travel, I tend to neglect the MFP app. I should at least keep logging food and exercise shouldn’t I?

I used the word “I” quite a bit. Nine times in the previous paragraph. Thank YOU all for giving me a measure of accountability for my actions.

It feels a little funny being the only man in the group (far as I can tell, forgive me if I am wrong) but the group works for me. I hope I am not missing any obvious signal that this is a women’s only group. HA! Message for any outside guys who are taking a look, just try it for one round.

7/16: 218.6
/logged; exercised; 90 oz water/
Last night at about 8 pm half our town lost power, including my house. Gained it back at 5 am. Very little sleep between. When I got up at 2 am to hook up the generator I weighed a full 2 pounds more than what I recorded above. Somehow I lost those pounds by 6 am.

As of this writing I am dog tired…. Quite a bit of town still in black-out. A friend is using my generator now. My Mom’s retirement center is still blacked-out. She is coming over to our house to spend the night with air conditioning.

Lots of whining here. Sorry.

7/17: 218.6
/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
Slept like a log last night. For a change.

Scale reading is on a very rare exact-same-each-day streak. I don’t know how. Yesterday was a little cheaty. Ate a few emotions. Munched on some lackadaisical. In fact it was a bit of a run away train. I did perform a lot of functional movement yesterday which must have helped. Better beware today because I am headed for a jump up.

7/14: 218.2

7/18: 219.8
/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
Aaaaaand that is how the scale works. I actually ate better and exercised more than the day before, but the reading went up over a pound. I get it. The scale uses delayed gratification. I don’t. I need to.

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.

July 18 - 172.6 - Finally, a drop! The old me tried to come out yesterday. I was donating to a cat rescue thrift shop, and across the street was a convenient store. All the years I worked from home, I would go out at lunch and get chips and diet coke even though I didn't have it in the house on purpose. Anyway, I was thinking just a small bag of salty, greasy, carby chips (how can I like those things), won't hurt. I then thought about all the work I've done to get where I am and also to get the scale to drop, and all the times I give in right before I'm going to have a drop. The problem is that one bag would lead to one more bag, etc. And my cravings will take off. I'm proud of myself which seems weird to say because on the surface, it doesn't sound that bad to have just a small bag of chips, but for me it starts it all up again. Thanks for listening!

Ok, here we go, off on a new round. I’m determined to move the needle this round.

7/16 - 197
When I said “move the needle,” I meant the other way. 😊 It’s ok, it’s a delayed reaction from the weekend away.

7/17 - 196.8
We’re finally getting a little break in the heat for a few days—80s instead of 90s—so I’m planning some garden time to try to catch up with the weeds. @quiltingjaine and anyone else who likes flowers, here are some daylilies and anise hyssop for you. 😊

Good, I seem to be back on track.

I feel glum this morning because I have been staying on my plan and my weight went up. I have done enough reading to know that this is how one’s body loses weight, rather torturous. Ok, time to change my mood. It’s only 7am, I will not let THIS ruin my day. I hope all of you have a lovely day!

@RichardHaw Welcome!

@SheilaBoneham Thank you for the beautiful flowers!

@Chapter_3 Goddess, hmm. I feel I need a costume. LOL I love this forum and I love the way I feel when I eat LCHF.

I was going to make some other comments but they have slipped my aged brain.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

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.

7/16 133.5
7/17 133.0 SEVEN YEARS AGO TODAY I arrived on this platform and started keto/LCHF. It’s been so an interesting ride. For the first time since we moved to Las Vegas our power was out for an hour last night. Our daughter insisted that we come to their house for the night because she had a/c and we didn’t. As we packed an overnight bag the power came on. All is well and all of the flashlights have new batteries.😁
7/18 133.0 Last night was Bingo. DD#2 was experiencing chest pain and since cardiologist told her last week that he’s fairly certain she’s had 2 heart attacks she was panicky and spent the whole day at the ER getting tests only to be sent home at 8:30pm with nothing found. Having experienced this myself many years ago, I suspect any chest pain no matter how small caused a panic attack. She has a stress test a week from tomorrow. In the meantime, her knee surgery which was supposed to be this past Monday is on hold. She wanted to get it done before school starts on August eighth.

@RichardHaw Welcome to the group. I'm so glad you could meet me here and we will be able to continue to touch base with each other. We Michiganders need to stick together! There are many posts to read for support and ideas. It's not necessary that you read them all but it is useful if you can. I read them with my morning coffee or off & on throughout the day. @quiltingjaine is our host. She will post a list of acronyms we commonly use and their meanings from time to time. If you ever need help with that, just ask. I'm sure @_JeffreyD_ appreciates another man's perspective as do the rest of us. It's truly Wonderful to have you here!

@quiltingjaine Happy 7 yr anniversary on this Challenge. We are blessed to have you in our fold, my friend!

@AR10at50 I'm Speechless! Huge Halibut, Impressive Catch!

@SheilaBoneham I'm enjoying your beautiful flowers with my hot coffee on this chilly Michigan morning. Thanks so much for sharing!

@AR10at50 Wow!!! I had to reread your post as I thought it said biggest fish ever, but you said biggest fish this year. I'm curious, what was your biggest fish ever?
