Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 268

quiltingjaine · August 6

@Zaxa2021 Regarding the water heater - I would check your lease and with legal aid to see what the law is where you live. Landlord should be responsible and it may be that you can deduct cost of repair from your rent. Our renter neighbors went without a/c for a week last summer - not a good thing over age 87 and temp over 100 degrees.

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.

8/4 132.0 I slept wrong and have a tweaked muscle in my upper back. My wake up h/a is gone, Fosamax taken and coffee consumed. DH wants to go to the gym “early” but is still sleeping. I prefer the gym in the early afternoon. Today’s high is supposed to be 113.
8/5 132.5 Awake @4:28AM - too darn early. The bump is from the churro I ate at El Pollo Loco on Saturday evening. My muscle is still tweaked but I plan to go to the gym anyway.
8/6 132.0 Gym was good. Walked, cycled, hip machines, row, back extension, chest - 52 minutes on my HRM. Nothing seems to be sore today. I am craving GARLIC! Do you think I’m pregnant? LOL

R268 Starting Weight: 181.4

It's been almost 10 years of "reasons" as to why I can't lose weight, and I'm tired of my own excuses.
I am here to take back control of my life, 10 days at a time.

8/4: - DNW. Went out for a nice breakfast and then out to a music festival. A whole lot of good food and a whole lot of walking in 100 degree heat. Was a great day though!
8/5: 181.4 - N/A
8/6: 180.0 - I did the 10 day challenge quite a bit ago and it was amazing! There was a lot that happened in the past two months, but it's been a week of sticking to workouts and I feel quite better in my headspace. I am only holding myself back from a future of self-love and accomplishment, and I want to not feel embarrassed around people anymore.

Thanks for the advice! Our rental company is taking care of it, and so far has been reasonably timely about it. My frustration is just having to rearrange our schedule and appointments to accommodate when the workers will be here. But I realize it is a small inconvenience and I may be (probably am) overreacting. It's just a busy week.

🐝🐝🐝Goal for this round: less than my starting weight of 137 (yikes) Need to beef up the water and watch the after dinner snacking. Old habits creep back in so quickly!🐝🐝🐝

8/4. 137.0. The highest I have been in seven months! 👣✏️

8/5. 136.3. Hit the gym for some bonus points today. Starting this round off on a better note. 🏋️‍♀️👣✏️

8/6. 136.9. I let some after 8:00 pm snacking get the better of me last night and was still short on water intake. Plan to hit the gym again this afternoon.

Just tried some konjac noodles for the first time, quite tasty! Looking forward to adding it into other meals!
8/6 -121.8 (-1.7)
Konjac noodles, vegetables, tofu and sauce was for dinner tonight. I am still pleasantly surprised and could easily do the switch from regular noodles. Makes me happy to find a substitute that is almost as good as the original.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 268 (my 198th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

I’ve been MIA the last few days, been so busy!! We have been at The British Transplant Games; little DGS took part in the under 5’s events, DH & I volunteered. Such an amazing heartwarming event for transplant recipients, donors and their families, all of us there have so similar stories, it is one big family. My food over these days has been totally off, now need to get back in the saddle (to quote _JeffreyD_ 😊).

Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to lose!
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.

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.

8/07- 171.0 That is a pleasant surprise. Hopefully this little dip will help me stay motivated to resist free baklava and cupcakes at the farmers market this evening.
Also a big motivation to keep focusing on my water intake. Not always easy when my job sites have no bathroom.
The Sloop Clearwater will be at the market tonight, always a beautiful sight. I also love meeting the crew each season, such a positive experience.

8/5 135.0
✅Level Up! 🚫 no logging or 📝 since Friday 8/2 - I weighed 131.0. Yesterday:🚶‍♀️8k 💤6hrs

I went off “plan” this past weekend, but did NOT go “off the rails”. When I stepped on the scale I thought, I’m gonna weigh 135 and sure enough I was 100% accurate! I feel like a BLOB.

When I was out with the girls Sat, I was “good” but I drank 2 mezcals w/fresh lime… one piece of Keylime pie. Lots of mineral water… Yesterday we went to lunch with friends - had an “organic” Wagu pita sandwich and an ice cream cone last night. Still, plenty water. Saturday - 🚶‍♀️10k, 🏋️‍♀️ And I played three hours of tennis yesterday morn before lunch…. My body simply amazes me. Craves routine, then short-circuits when I choose to take a detour. REVOLUTION! It really is a total system and mine needs routine. I’m guessing it’ll take me three days off 💦💦💦and ROUTINE to remove the bloat. What a way to start a round!!
Will analyze “me” today, track and reset! Just give me EIGHT DAYS!
Let’s go!

8/6 ✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶‍♀️12k 💤8hrs, 🏋️‍♀️20 min
P:E = 2:1, P= 124g

⚖️ I do expect ⚖️to drop more today/tomorrow… I literally saw puffs/pockets of fluid all over my body yesterday. What a trip! I don’t know what I ate that sent me into this zone … Maybe restaurant food, hidden seed-oils, crab boil, inducing wacko- bio-rhythms / “system-failure”. My body is probably saying “what the heck did you do to me?!!!!” To gain 4lbs and lose 2 practically overnight is NOT healthy. And, it didn’t feel good. I felt terrible - not psychologically for “going off plan/routine” but physically. Still coming out of the fog.

Yesterday was a good day re-entering normalcy. Continue to reset today.

NSV: Lesson learned: stick to what works to keep steady/even routine. I also learned that if something is too difficult to track – don’t eat it.

I pre-logged nutrition yesterday — then forgot to drink my protein shake… so protein under but ratio good. 💦💦💦 is key.

I’m still in amazement of how I spiked ⬆️ 4lbs and then ⬇️. I am grateful that I understand it was a “systems/routine” conundrum and not WHAT I put in my mouth - only WHEN. 🏋️‍♀️ heavy yesterday- progressing. Today will be another day getting back in routine. Meeting a dear friend for coffee this morning - visiting with her will be a real treat. 🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🎾📝 💦.

SW RND 268—168.8
8/4 169.0 I honestly don’t understand this uptick. I had a very active day yesterday and ate only 1100 calories of mostly high protein food. Hoping for a swoosh soon, but Dad is back in the hospital and I’m here with him this morning so food and exercise will be atypical today.
8/5 167.8 I managed the hospital cafeteria well. There were several high protein choices and I was able to stay away from all the sweets which are 80% of their offerings. I’ve never understood why the food choices at hospitals are so unhealthy! I did go home last night and took a pill to help me sleep (not something I do very often), so I’m rested this morning. Fingers crossed for a better day today for Dad.
8/6 166.6 managed food well again yesterday and got in steps around the hospital but no real exercise. Hope to get Dad back to his Assisted Living today. We did get a diagnosis yesterday—metastatic cancer. Most likely lymphoma. He doesn’t want to pursue treatment at 93, so….
8/7 166.2 Hanging in there. Haven’t really eaten much the last couple days so this is probably an artificial drop.

HW 165
CW: 125ish

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

NSV FOR THE WIN!

Nine months ago, I decided I wanted to build my agility/ flexibility/balance/strength, to embrace with vigor my golden years - changing my username to Chapter_3 and a new identity of #HSF (Healthy, Strong, Fit)

I decided what was most important was to age “younger” and to begin a journey toward the
📣 #bestshapeofmylife📣

Well, this morning, just now, everything became real.

I’m walking a brisk pace on the sidewalk and felt my right foot scuff the pavement - I’m going DOWN. I lost my balance but quickly I thought I am NOT going to fall flat on my face - just gently catch myself, tuck and roll. OMG. The first thing I did was look to see if anyone was around because I was mortified and completely embarrassed that I had almost fallen flat on my face & broken several bones in my body… But instead, I just have a tiny little scuff mark on my right knee (and dirty shirt/shorts)!

This is my WHY. I picked myself up, brushed myself off and started all over again - finishing 5 miles in 70 min. Not bad for an old MawMaw! I even stopped to smell the roses 🌹💪🏻🙌🏻👊🏻

Last year I would’ve pulled or broken something & turned around and walked home crying… I would’ve gone to the ER. But instead, I’m writing you my BEST NSV to date!

If I can keep going so can you!!!
Onward!

08/04 -189.2- (Trend weight 189.8)

08/05 -188.2- (Trend weight 189.6)

08/06 -189.2- (Trend weight 189.6) I did end up eating a very late dinner last night (about midnight). So I’m flip-flopping that same pound back and forth. I travel Wednesday which will probably affect Thur. weigh-in. I also travel Friday which will likely affect Sat. weigh-in. It will be a volatile week but I will try to make wise food choices since the exercise front will be greatly affected. I really, really, really would love to do good this round in spite of it all.

08/07 -188.2- (Trend weight 189.5) My weight keeps bouncing around the same exact pound—188.2 to 199.2 and then back. Weird pattern! At least my trend weight keeps creeping down. Today I travel for dental cleanings for myself and son, then meeting my contractor in that town for roof supply shopping at a big box home improvement store. I’ll take him to lunch afterward. I’ll choose wisely. It’s so much easier to order in front of other people LOL. Have a great hump day everyone.

Starting weight: 160.9

8/5: 160.9. Starting weight.
8/6: 160.6. Tiring day, this is a busy week for us. On top of several appointments, our water heater started leaking. The plumber came and said we had to get the stand that it sits on replaced before he will put a new one in. Since we rent, we are at the mercy of our landlord for how quickly we can do that. There's always something. My eating wasn't great yesterday, but I tried to control it a bit. I'm not doing much for exercise right now, but I'm planning to start adding it in soon.
8/7: 158.8. Yesterday's goal was to log food. I wasn't really focusing on staying under my calorie goal, but I find just holding myself accountable for the food I eat tends to result in eating a bit more focused. As I result, I was under my calorie goal.
