Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 275

judefit1 · October 16

Jude, 5’-2”, 67 YO
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.

10/16: still hovering just under 127 and working to get back under 125. It'll happen, but will take extra effort while I'm in a boot. Weighing won't be accurate, but I'll find out what a boot weighs- I'll subtract todays weight from whatever the scale shows tomorrow :-)

@UTMom81 Thanks for sharing pix of River! Cute!

We are thinking when our 14 year old puppy dies we will not restock. But it will be essential that we don't see puppies or pictures of puppies. HA!

Yesterday was full of fishing, yard work and college football. I was surprised by the drop from yesterday, but I will take it.

Did I mention that we bought a Nespresso coffee make? Our trip inspired us to drink less, but better coffee. Kind of an upgrade from the k-cup, but I am not interested in going “full commitment espresso machine.”

DW returns from girls’ trip today, So I need to straighten things up a bit. I will stand at attention while she does the white glove test. 😊 Hope she doesn’t look under the rug.

This bump was salt I am sure. Calories were not disastrous.

Return of the Queen was a success. 😊 I am blessed.

I may be identifying sugar as one of my main sabotage items. I am not kidding myself; savory is a big problem too.

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.

@jspecies11 nice job on the margarita resistance. Maybe someday I'll be able to achieve that

@SheilaBoneham and @judefit1 (and @SModa61 ?) I hope your procedures went/go well and recoveries are quick!

@itladyee thank you! I am going to offer to work on whatever I can get my hands on even if it isn't in my wheelhouse so I can make myself useful until my projects get the green light again. Just in a very weird space this week. I think it will all work out in the end.

@deepwoodslady I'm so sorry about the family stress

@UTMom81 OMG that puppyyyyy. River is a perfect name and not weird at all to honor your recent experience and your lifelong love of the river!

SW RND 275: 132.8
RGW: 132.8
Not setting an ambitious goal for the round since I was dehydrated for my start weight and I’m already back up. Would be happy if I could just legitimately weight my round start weight!

Non-scale goals:
🏃🏻‍♀️ or 🏋🏻‍♀️ work out 7/10 days
🚫 no drinking 5/10 days
📝 tracking 6/10 days
⏱️ intermittent fast 6/10 days

10/13 - 134.2. Had a major snack attack at the farmer’s market yesterday. I’m also really bad at drinking water on the weekends. I probably drank like 12 ounces yesterday 🤦🏻‍♀️ Today we have a fall festival at my son’s school that will probably have some delicious treats on offer. I’m going to tread lightly, though! My son is very excited to try to dunk the principal in the dunk tank. He is such a happy kindergartner 🥹

10/14 - 135.0 🏃🏻‍♀️ Impromptu Mexican dinner last night. I kept it balanced by drinking a margarita but eating fajitas with just one of the tortillas haha. Tried not to go wild on the chips. Definitely a salty dinner and my inadequate water consumption continued. The beginning of the week is always bittersweet. Not thrilled to be back at work but I'm a lot more disciplined when I only have to consider myself during the day and can spend a little time planning dinners. I'm sitting at a cafe drinking only black coffee despite all the tempting treats around me to start off on the right foot. Then therapy at 10 which is long overdue. Good way to start the week!

10/15 - 134.2 ⏱️🚫 My body sure likes 134ish. I went way over yesterday. I made the mistake of eating my kids' leftover quesadillas for lunch. Very fatty, high calorie, and low nutrition. It sent me down a spiral of snacking, mostly high carb foods. I know that I'll never be satiated off of processed carbs alone, and yet, there I was, eating everything in sight. Then the pot roast I made wasn't ready until 6:30 which leads to all of us snacking endlessly. I should at least be able to work out today. I found out yesterday that the company's priorities are pivoting away from most of what I'm working on, so my projects are almost all delayed. I've been a little overwhelmed by everything I have to do so I guess it's a bit of a relief? But also feels like my job is in jeopardy. I'd hate to get laid off after 6 weeks of working here! They said there isn't a reduction in headcount but I bet if this directive had happened before I got hired, they wouldn't hire anyone for this position yet (in pharma my job isn't really required until you're getting ready to go commercial; filing for commercialization is getting delayed by 6 months). I guess I'll have more time for fitness this way, eesh.

10/16 - 134.0 ⏱️🏃🏻‍♀️ Ugh I really need to get to tracking. That's an important part of weight loss for me and I have been utterly failing. I'll even weigh and measure food in order to track it and then never put it on MFP. So my only goal today is to write every bite!

I'm sorry I'm so sporadic in my participation in this group. I'm having a hard time focusing on my health goals at the moment.

So 10 days. I can commit to 10 days of focusing. Here we go.

SW RND 275
10/13: 155.0. A bit higher than I've been recently, but it's not surprising. Food and drink have been a free-for-all. I did, however, get to the gym last night for my treadmill run.

10/14: 154.7. I had a pretty good day yesterday. Stayed in control of my eating (even when my husband ordered a ton of ice cream!). I did 2 walks and a treadmill run (4.25 miles).

10/15: 154.5. It wasn't the best day, food-wise, but wasn't the worst either. I can't say the McDonald's wasn't worth it, though. I know it's gross crappy food, but it's still is my guilty pleasure. So I consciously splurge on it. 2 walks and some time on the treadmill.

10/16: 153.3. I stress ate some ice cream, but other than that, I ate pretty well. Exercise was the usual, 2 walks and some walking/running on the treadmill. I just need to be more mindful of eating when I'm stressed.

Day/Weight/Trend Weight/Comment

10/13 - 193.2/194.1
I seem to have found the key for me, finally. I’m not finding it as difficult as I imagined to stick to my fast from supper until breakfast, and wonder why I couldn’t stop snacking at night before. I guess you just have to be in the right place mentally.

10/14 - 193.4/193.7
Salty dinner last night, but otherwise on target, and one full week of IM. It’s getting easier. 😊

10/15 - 193.6/193.5
I weighed in a bit earlier than usual, which may explain the slight uptick. Nothing else does! I’m off this morning for my second post-laser surgery laser treatment to clear cloudiness in my new lens. I can’t say the first procedure made any difference ( other eye), but we’ll see.

10/16 - 193.4/193.4
Laser treatment went perfectly, but I ate weirdly (grape nut flakes and kefir for breakfast, pad Thai for late lunch/early dinner, and a few triscuits later. Woke up in the night feeling nauseated and indigestion, and I still feel that way. I’m wondering if it’s from an excess of salt. I usually keep my sodium intake quite low, but pad Thai & triscuits? Yikes! Anyway, I’m drinking lots of water to flush the salt. Maybe some knitting therapy will help. 😁

10/14 222.2 ⬆️ ~ I'm ok with a little blurp. Had a wedding (late Sunday night) yesterday.
10/15 220.6 ⬇️ ~ I think my scale is broken, but in a good way! I did walk 3+ miles. Drank some water, not my minimum but I'm still taking the credit (icon). Under calorie range!🍎✅💧🚶🏽
10/16 221.6 ⬆️ ~ again, not concerned. Yesterday was a good day but I did test the pasta theory for the blood glucose monitor, and I do know that pasta shows up on the scale for me🙂

@UTMom81 ~ what a beautiful puppy and I love the name River. What kind of dog is River? I see a puppy in my near future. Got a few things to manage and then I'll be ready🙂
@_JeffreyD_ ~ It took me a full year + after my 14 year old baby passed to consider a puppy again.
@Sheilaboneham ~ glad your treatment went well. Interesting choice of foods, but sometimes we need something different🙂
@Zaxa2021 ~ even with stress ice cream, you still did ok!
@jspecies11 ~ congrats on sticking with water. A NSV for sure!!!

10/16 - DNW - Well, I did weigh but my scale wouldn't sync and then it started acting erratic. I had to hard reset it and then ended up changing the batteries (which said 57% remaining, but after a battery change it started acting normal). Unfortunately, I lost the data from this morning. I do remember seeing a 157.x so I went up. As expected since I treated myself to pizza for lunch (within macros, but bloat doesn't care about macros) after having to get a mammogram. All clear, though! No need for another until after I'm 40 or if something comes up (a lump or symptoms). I've got everything logged today to meet macros and I'm focused on one gallon of water or more (so far I'm 3 for 3 days!). Gym done, dogs walked so now need to keep moving through the day to hit 8-10k steps (need less than 3,000 to hit goal as of this post).

10/15 - I'm officially back from vacation. It has been hectic so far but it should calm down after today since I got all my errands and appointments done. Work is still going to be busy but those are only certain set hours of the day and the rest of my time can flow as it will. I have resumed macro tracking (so far 3 days), water tracking (3 days as well!) steps (yesterday and today), walks (yesterday and today) with the dogs who are also now home from the boarding/vet place, and gym (2 days thus far, 3 more days planned). Weight is likely to bounce around this week as I drop bloat/water weight but hold on to extra water from soreness (I'm already incredibly sore from Monday's leg day). This is okay, the goal is to ease into my routines and healthy habits without stressing myself out horribly. I'm glad to be back! I will aim to catch up on all of you if work breaks and evening time allows

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 191.4

10/13 -192.2- (Trend weight -193.2-)

10/14 -194.6- (Trend weight -193.4-)

10/15 -191.2- (Trend weight -193.2-) What a weight swing today! It’s Amazing how the physical can take on the symptoms of the emotional. Things are still not resolved in my family drama and I still feel tied up in knots. Traveling today so I will expect the scale to be up tomorrow but I will try to make all good choices even though I know I am usually over on carbs especially when I dine out. I was running in this same weight range earlier in the week so I hope this is closer to my true weight but its so hard to tell when I am feeling this stressed and not getting much sleep. Time will tell I suppose. I ate well and within plan yesterday but not enough exercise. But hey, my refrigerator and freezers are completely cleaned out and that should count for something!

10/16 -193.0- (Trend weight -193.2-) Well, there it is. A 1.8 lb gain from travel that I have come to expect. Today I will gather my composure and focus on getting it back down to a more reasonable number. My short-term goal is to get to the 180’s again and it could be doable, if not by the end of this challenge then sometime in the next for sure. I must stay Focused. Of course, I won’t feel confidently in the 180’s until I reach that number with the 7 on the end (187) due to fluctuations, but if I touch down on that 180 runway with ANY number in the 180's I’ll still know I’ve arrived, even if I’m still rolling and bouncing down the runway a bit before I completely land. It’s a plan!

10/17 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

10/20 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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

That cute pup pulls at my heart strings, too! But I've been feeding or caring for some creature for nearly a half a century! I'm taking a brake and the freedom and flexibility feel good. I don't know how long I'll keep it up. We'll see.

I added in more nausea and jaw pain yesterday, but I don't know the cause yet. It's been really frustrating , but I kind of think it's related to food poisoning. It's more than the fiber pills at this point. I feel a little better today at least. I had a little bit of nausea return after I ate lunch, but it's been fine ever since. I'm likely going to go to the gym tonight after work to get in some activity.

@quiltingjaine there are so many kitties that need homes. We have two rescues to keep each other company.

doseofcrazy · October 17

Hello all! I'll hop in here. 45F just restarting a health journey.

Starting Weight: 190.9 (9/8/24 - highest ever ugh)
Mini-goal: 175 by end of year (trying to be realistic with holiday season in there)
Goal Weight: Maybe 135? More concerned with feeling good than actual number.
Habits: Walk daily, log all food, switch most soda to water, trying a 16:8 IF schedule

RND 275

10/13 - 185.8 (walked a mile, stayed under calorie goal, even passed on a late-night candy treat when my husband was indulging)

10/14 - 185.6 (no walk, but did log and stayed under calorie goal, water only, carried on the streak of meeting my IF hours)

10/15 - 185.4 (today is my oldest's 21st.. and he actually wants to spend it out with us. I'll try to make mindful choices, but I'll also not feel too bad. The win is that my adult kid wants to celebrate with ME.. lol.. so we'll be doing that. Didn't end up walking or meeting calorie deficit, but stayed under maintenance best as i can tell.)

10/16 - 185.8 (not mad at that number. My weight bounces a bit anyway, and considering it was eating out, a drink, and dessert with my boy yesterday. Today I did manage to walk, log meals, stick to my IF hours, and stayed under calorie goal.)

@UTMom81 Now if that face doesn’t do some serious heart healing I don’t know what will! River is a perfect name.

@jspecies11 that devil just sat down on my shoulder and gave me a nudge, whispered “spicy margarita” in my ear.

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

Rnd 274 End Weight 172.2

10/13- 174.4
10/14- 173.8
10/15- 171.4
10/16- 171.8
10/17- 171.4 Waited until I was overly hungry to eat so my pre afternoon workout was 1000 calories of Cheese-its. I guess I haven’t gotten the memo that I’m trying to do better???
There is just better food if I’m going to waste almost half my calories.
Today is a rest day and I’m on my own for dinner. I’m going to be very hungry and my head says protein but my hormones say butternut squash ravioli.

Yesterday was full of fishing, yard work and college football. I was surprised by the drop from yesterday, but I will take it.

Did I mention that we bought a Nespresso coffee make? Our trip inspired us to drink less, but better coffee. Kind of an upgrade from the k-cup, but I am not interested in going “full commitment espresso machine.”

DW returns from girls’ trip today, So I need to straighten things up a bit. I will stand at attention while she does the white glove test. 😊 Hope she doesn’t look under the rug.

This bump was salt I am sure. Calories were not disastrous.

Return of the Queen was a success. 😊 I am blessed.

10/15: 219.2
/sort of logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
Unexplainable.

10/16: 218.0
/logged; some functional exercise; 80 oz water/
I may be identifying sugar as one of my main sabotage items. I am not kidding myself; savory is a big problem too.

My last scale reading of the round more than likely. DW and I heading out of town for a wedding. We will be on the edge of the damaged area in Boone, North Carolina, but the wedding is still on and things are up and running.

I am torn between just staying away / out of the way, or putting some tourist dollars into the region. (in addition to the donation we made to the clean-up effort.) The tipping point is that the parents of the groom are dear friends.

The bride and groom both work for Samaritan’s Purse, headquartered in Boone.

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.

@skyleen75 Getting too hungry is a danger zone for me as well.
