Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 295

eileenpineapple · May 1

Hey everyone! I'm a mom of two. I Gave birth 5 months ago and have been feeling not so great about my physical appearance/health. I feel sluggish, my clothes feel are ill fitting. I'm honestly NOT ready ro make a full turn around but I feel like this is an excellent stepping stone to get me more motivated and into a routine. I've already made small changes like NOT adding sugar to my morning coffee and I'm gonna try to do 30mins of jump roping everyday. Hoping for the best!

F37, 5'3, SW- 182lbs UGW- 140 lbs

RG- 181 lbs (jumping rope 30min daily, decreasing sugary snacks and sugar intake in general, food proportions).

@foodnoise716 I agree about the “noise” when tracking AND especially about the coffee! I used to drink 2 or 3 pots by myself when sewing then read about caffeine and bones after I was diagnosed with osteoporosis a year ago. I have tried to cut back but I lack willpower.

Has anyone figured out how to get the drop down list of folks? I did get as far as “@foo” before it vanished! 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Day/Weight/Comment

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 196.0

🎪 🎪🎪 🎪 05/01-196.2 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 194.9) 0.2 lb gain today. I had 1000 calories and 58 carbs yesterday. I did not have planned exercise but I had LOTS of extra movement with some overdue house projects I worked on (lots of stairs!). Crazy that I’m still at about a 4 lb gain that’s (IMHO) completely without merit. Okay, enough feeling sorry for myself! Staying the course here and trusting the process. Welcome to all our newly joining friends. Wishing everyone a stellar 10 days during challenge #295.

~~5/01~~ - 167.4 - No change from yesterday but that's okay. I'm all balanced today despite being over on protein and fats - as planned I offset with lower carbs and am within my 50 calorie buffer. Protein and fiber goals also met so everything is good. I know I'm going out to dinner tomorrow for date night so tonight I plan to pre-log that and figure out my breakfast and lunch options based on that. Tomorrow is grocery shopping day so I have a bit of wiggle room when deciding on lunch, at least, since I can buy something to meet goals. Not much else to report on, just happy to be around for another round with you all!

Round 295 #2! 😀

Here we go for the next 10 days! ☺️ I intend to weigh myself at the start and finish of the round and will update my progress within the group at the end. My height is 5'3" and my current weight is 63.3kg (139.55 lb). My ultimate goal weight is 54kg.

Each day my goals are to:

• Log my foods/exercise into Myfitnesspal

• Eat healthier and reduce the intake of junk food

• Reduce alcohol intake and sugary drinks

• Aim to go to the gym 4 times per week.

I hope everyone does well this round. 💕

I’m a 66 year young Pacific Northwest gal who continues to be inspired to lose those last clingy pounds while achieving the best possible health. I’m starting this round off at 135.8 and my goal is to touch base with 134. That means getting back to the basics…. Logging 🪵, movement 👣 and lots of water 💦.

5/1. 135.8. Did some hiking in Central Oregon over the weekend. This is a picture of Smith Rock State Park, a climber’s paradise and a beautiful place to hike!

5/02 175.0 I’m not going to complain about that number. Kicking off Friday with 5:30am bootcamp and some strength with my ride or die ladies. Balancing workouts with a half day of gardening.
I SHOULD be doing a full day but DH put the boat in the water and it’s supposed to be a beautiful afternoon followed by a full week of clouds. First boat ride of the season.

We can’t take vacations during garden season but I’ve learned to prioritize long lazy rides on the magnificent Hudson. We’re going to take a look at one of the local lighthouses that got hit by a tug pushing a barge a few days ago.

Plan to pack dinner with us instead of dining out. I need to try and keep my weekend food monster under control.

This is my posting format….

Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. (Calories-In yesterday)/ Comment

4/30/25 : 225.2 SW a day before.

5/1: 227.4 (?CI)
This SW on the 30th is an anomaly (low) but I will try harder than I did yesterday to beat it. Although I had a very vigorous spin class, my snacking was a bit (a lot) over the top and I did not log it all.

Tromping through the woods again this morning. It will be a lot of steps, in a bit of rain. Woof woof! I wish I had the same tenacity for Calories-In as I do for Calories-Out. During spin class I was unstoppable. I like to picture myself breaking away from the peloton, leaving them in the dust. I left it ALL on the bike. How can I bring the same energy to my eating discipline?

5/2: 226.8 (1798 CI)
Eating was good yesterday. Exercise was over the top good, for my legs anyway.

Here is something I am grateful for. I just thought of this. THANK YOU ALL FOR KEEPING POLITICS OUT OF THIS GROUP!!!!! I have never noticed any. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! It is so important to focus on the main purpose of this group and not get tangled up in divisive side issues. That is all.

After the evening, I noticed that I never truly had the correct mindset going into dinner - deep down I knew I was going to explore the chips and salsa. I didn’t strap on my #HSF identity going into dinner. That’s an “after the fact NSV”- never would’ve recognized previously. Nuanced thought process. Start again today !!

Destination: Healthy BMI at 50

🦥Consistency, in the face of frustration, Wins.

Struggling with stress. I do well in the day, it’s in the evening it falls apart. I’m meant to do a workout and have a small snack. But what happens is a wallow watching TV and eating snacks. I’m self-medicating feelings I don’t want to feel. Need to work on my morning meditation more intentionally as the whole thing is cyclical. Breaking this cycle.

Thank you @quiltingjaine 🌸

5/2-137-Today marks 30 pounds I’ve lost since November 1st. Everyone is different, but what works for me is this: I listened to The Plant Paradox and The Longevity Pradox each by Dr. Gundry. I did not buy any of his products, but paid attention to his way of eating (not religiously, but 90% of the time). I also started making kefir and yogurt (which are fermented food and easy to do) out of goats milk. I did not have time to exercise due to the holidays, but still lost the weight. All that this way of eating has done for me, is take the bad carbs out and I feel so good. His way of eating, is avoiding lectins and treating fruit like candy and only eating it on the weekends. I was making fruit smoothies every morning and gaining weight and something had to stop, so I tried this and feel good. Yes, I still go out to eat Mexican food, but I only eat 1/4 of the basket of chips and do not have rice and beans with my taco and tostada. I am not trying to get anyone to follow this because I now we are all different. It’s just what works for me.
Off to play pickle ball then exercise the horse.

Hey everyone! I'm a mom of two. I Gave birth 5 months ago and have been feeling not so great about my physical appearance/health. I feel sluggish, my clothes feel are ill fitting. I'm honestly NOT ready ro make a full turn around but I feel like this is an excellent stepping stone to get me more motivated and into a routine. I've already made small changes like NOT adding sugar to my morning coffee and I'm gonna try to do 30mins of jump roping everyday. Hoping for the best!

F37, 5'3, SW- 182lbs UGW- 140 lbs

RG- 181 lbs (jumping rope 30min daily, decreasing sugary snacks and sugar intake in general, food proportions).

~~5/1~~ - 182

5/2 - 182.4 // I forgot to weigh myself BEFORE having breakfast. >_< But yesterday was a W for exercise, instead of jumping rope I decided to do a weighted arms and back workout. I'd give myself like a D- on controlling my sugar intake. On the up side, I didn't order out for dinner. Today I'm planning on picking up some fruit from the grocery store so that I reach for that when I want something sweet instead of chocolate or ice cream 😅. Been thinking about monkfruit sugar. Does that have like a Splenda/ artificial sweetener aftertaste? I could write a whole book if I sit here for too long. See ya tomorrow.

Only one other person showed up for basketball today so he and I took it as a low-key practice day. We did 3 rounds of our usual game just to goof off but no running - I told him I couldn't run due to my foot and I'm glad I did so. Then we just practiced shooting baskets to get better for next time we play everyone. My foot is starting to ache a bit since I did a lot of walking around the gym chasing down my basketball (I'm not good at all so I miss and bounce the ball off in far corners more than I make the basket, hehe) and then grocery shopping after. I'm done with my tasks for today so I'm going to stretch, study for my PE exam a bit, and, if the weather holds out long enough, transplant my seed starters into little pots since they're getting quite large and I want to start some more seeds (it's a reusable seed starter kit). I've planned meals for the day (with an estimate for dinner) so I'm feeling good about it all. I know what dinner is tomorrow and the Man will be busy in the afternoon so I can easily pre-plan that. Sunday is my wild card - will have to figure something out there.
