Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 293

4/11 - 168.3

4/12 - 167.7

4/13 - 169.4

4/14 - 167.7

4/15 - 167.3

4/16 - 167.3

4/17 - 167.3 - Holding pattern but I'm okay with that. I somehow looked at the wrong day in my logging and thought I was having some sourdough as a snack. Later I realized I was supposed to have hard boiled eggs and was quite a bit over on my carbs. Oops. Glad it didn't show on the scale this morning. I'm all logged for today. I still need to figure out breakfast and lunch options for next week for me, one lunch option (non keto day) for BF, and dinner tomorrow night for my early grocery trip tomorrow morning. We have a plan for dinners Saturday (date night) and Sunday (Easter dinner with Fam) so I can estimate and pre-log and be better prepared ahead to stay as close to goals as possible. This is doable and I'm glad I've recognized and made plans for weekends to overcome the past "free for all" mentality.

TODAY: 4/17 DNW

I worked too long and didn’t eat lunch till 2pm. Funny how on days that I’m fasting that’s no big deal -have often fasted for 24hrs. But yesterday I was “staving” Ate redfish & truffle fries… no dinner Woke up @ 3AM. = DNW. SO SORE. I’ll do better today. PLAN! 

Two eggs for breakfast, chicken breast at 11:30 and then I’m picking up DGS Tucker to go see “King of Kings!” Can’t wait! Lean burger & protein shake to round out my day. 

4/16 132.2 this weight seems about right and a true measure of where I am.  The “mmmk 132… “ Still waiting on TMI.  Ate much better yesterday! ✅💦 🥩 eggs, lean grass-fed hamburger and chicken breast /thigh. Yum. Small high-protein yogurt & berries. 🚶‍♀️8k without a structured walk. And even a few 🏋️‍♀️RDL’s! Repeat today. 

Took a bad fall yesterday on the property… BAD. wasn’t watching where I was going and caught myself just before I face-planted. So lucky. A little sore this morning but A-OK. The past few days I’ve been using muscles I never use… We will probably wrap-up today or have minimal tomorrow. If I had not been working out and taking care of myself, I would’ve taken a trip to the hospital… THIS IS MY WHY!!!!

We’ve had gorgeous weather for almost 2 weeks and I’m hoping it stays through the weekend. Good Friday - annual crawfish /beer (1) out of the property and say “goodbye” (sort-of) … my hubby will eat 10 pounds easy… I don’t like crawfish that much but the ritual is fun! I’ll post a couple of photos soon… Will show y’all a true little “country cottage”! 

I’m hoping for a solid 131.x for the end of this round… and a strong start toward 7/31 - my two yr anniversary on JGMTD. 

4/15 133.8 some of this uptick is legitimate. Some of it is just not drinking enough water (very dehydrated) and no TMI for a LONG time! My body is discombobulated & my first order of business is to get it back to my optimum “routine“. 

We’ve been eating on the go, mostly healthy, but still random prepared /restaurant foods with a gazillion unknown oils/ingredients… and unknown macro/calorie counts… guessing. I’m used to whole foods / single ingredient/ … eating at home. Will go to the grocery store today & plan my single ingredient food/nutrition. If I was truly in the zone, I would be planning ahead each day & eating at home- and we have not!

I wont set unrealistic goals of 🚶‍♀️10k  or🏋️‍♀️ till Thursday/Friday. We are still in “property mode” as I’m on my feet all day and cleaning… pretty sure I’m getting enough of a workout.  😎 My first goal is to fuel my body appropriately with lots of protein & water. It’s good to be back!

4/18-139-Getting the list knocked out and covered 5 miles worth of steps doing it. All the while, I am asking myself why I have not kept up on all these things……I’ll reach the age of 60 this year; maybe I’ll turn over a new leaf.

@Skyleen75

Thx for asking. Just a few brush burns on my left knee. I had a “drop and roll” fall last year that I handled like a pro… This one came too fast and too hard. Thank God, I caught myself!

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 293
April 11 – 20, 2025

SW: 132.0

4/11- 130.2 Big surprise that was not such a big surprise given my visits to the bathroom yesterday and this morning. Don’t know what made a difference from one day to the next. Calories were good yesterday. Did 3 lap (5 mile) walk. Today, I am going to walk, but I am also heading to the gym. Facing out to eat AGAIN, tonight, but this morning’s number gives me hope that I will end this round with some sort of 130 number. I have pre-tracked my day, so I do have a plan.

Looking at my 2023 history, on Jan 1, 2023, I was 146.6, March 2 138.0, and April 11, I was 131.4. By May 1, 2023, I was 128.2.

Looking at my 2925 History, on Dec 31, 2024, I was 138.2 March 1 135.2, and April 11 (today) 130.2 (but 132 yesterday). Pattern is slower this time, but does show me I can make it into the upper 120’s before looking at MOG dresses in May, and if my summer is good, I should be comfortable at the September wedding.

4/12- 130.2 yesterday kept evolving but I adjusted my plans as I went along. I did walk 3 laps, also went to the gym and did elliptical, then and hour workout. The guys were successfully fishing which meant my plans at the restaurant changed, so I re-tracked that. Anyhow, I made it through the day!

Today, we have been invited to friends for dinner. I have no idea what they are serving. This will actually be harder than yesterday.

4/13- 130.6 I handled yesterday as well as possible and moderately exceeded preferred calories. My win for the day was that I did not binge once I got back to the condo after the dinner at friends. I considered it a number of times, but did not. Glad I controlled it, but it is crazy that I even needed to fight this urge.

4/14- 132.0 Yup, expected that. Heading out for my walk in 30. Will pre-track and today will be a normal day. Curious how many days will take to undo yesterday.

4/15- 132.4 Did not feel right all day. Even resorted to a nap in the early afternoon. We had dinner plans with friends for pizza, and was ready two slices. We all get to the restaurant and there is a sign “closed for spring maintenance. Now we end up at a Thai restaurant. Calories were not good. Salt was not good. Today though, is straight forward – all food being pre-tracked and have 7th session with the trainer.

4/16 – 132.0 Yesterday was good. Spot on for calories. Did the elliptical, stretching, then hour with the trainer. Was hoping to bounce back more quickly, but no such luck. Today’s challenge is another poolside cocktail party for the building and it is my turn to be the host of it.

4/17- DNW Man it is just so complicated lately. Could not face the scale.

4/18- 132.0 Have no idea how this compares to yesterday as I DNW. Yesterday was good. Today, I will get double exercise, but going out to dinner tonight.

04/17-DNW- (Trend Weight: DNW) I had the Chinese Buffet yesterday during my travels. Chinese food is a rare treat for this rural girl. I can definitely feel the bloat today on top of all my recent gains. It’s like adding insult to injury. I’ll take my Lasix today and look forward to it helping release some of the water. Dentist appointment went well. No cavities.

🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰 04/18-197.0 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 196.7) Down nearly 2 lbs since the last weigh in. Oh, but that trend weight! It is the Ye in “Ye of Little Faith”. I’ll start turning that around as best as I can but it is Easter Weekend. I will work hard to convince it that I’m going to do better! I went to bed last night after finding out about a shocking death in our community. The lady that had the stroke about a year ago. I had taken her to her physical therapy a few times. I thought she was doing somewhat better. She is quite a few years younger than me, a hard working well known person in our community, and a wife and mother whose children my own children were very very close to. I’m not sure exactly what happened, it was totally unexpected. I am praying for peace for her family. I hope everyone who believes and celebrates will have a wonderful Good Friday. Let us Never Forget.
