Hoping to stay consistent this round and looking at the scale even on days where I am scared to!!

Another Opportunity to Stay True to Oneself MFP Friends 🤩

I've been fairly awful lately for many reasons. Of course I know better, blah blah & yak yak etc...

We always do. Last round closed 2.6 lbs up and 20lbs overweight.

Nearly everyone can recite what's healthy. Performance is more complex.

I'm anticipating a 😈Hellish😈 two weeks. To make it through, my goals are simple:

* Show Up - 10 of 10 posts

* Weigh daily

* Post body composition twice

Rnd 298 SW 159.6 lbs

5/31 - 156.6lbs

My day was so lazy that laziness itself would ask what's your problem if this were possible. No further comment. 😉

6/1 - 156.2 lbs

Tanita Scale: fat 17.8%/ water 60.0%/ lean calc 22.2%

Not yet respectable but I'm doing better!

@SModa61 I had mine last month. No bad reactions but it did hurt more than the whooping cough shot that I also had to get. With the whooping cough, I guess I'm getting old and my baby and childhood vacs are expiring! Had to have the measles shot again in 1996 when I was 36!

@Chapter_3 so sorry to hear about your mom. We certainly need to be able to make informed decisions. On vaccines, both my son and our nephew both had the “young male” heart problems from the COVID vaccine. Neither hubby or I feel great from that one either. The flu shot? I never have a reaction. Go figure.

I totally understand your hesitation due to your familial concerns. That must have been difficult.

I still have upset stomach and aches today. My response to a bad stomach is to eat, so calories are not good today.

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 298 (my 228th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.

Goals for every round;

First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!

to weigh less at the end of the round than the start

be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end

I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.

I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life. "Health is wealth"

5/30 142 – (trend 141) 4.07 miles walked – drove 60 miles to meet up with DD & DGS for the day, steps were obtained whilst waiting for then to arrive! Not proud of the last 3 days, I’ve just gone ferrel!! At least I’ve got a 0.2 pound loss, but it seems that this is becoming a pattern as the last 3 rounds of the previous round I ran amuck too ☹. Maybe I should look at just a 7 day round lol ! I’ll just move on and keep trying.

EW Rnd 297 142

SW Rnd 298 141.6

5/31 141.6 (trend 141.1) 9.06 miles walked. A good start to the round with sensible eating yesterday. Up to Sheffield today for youngest DGD's 4th birthday party, there will be cake, but intend being sensible on everything else.

6/1 144.6 (trend 141.6) ouch! ☹. Overindulged at the party yesterday & no exercise either 😪.

6/2 142.6 (trend 141.7), that’s better, yesterday & during the night after the party I felt very bloated and uncomfortable, last night I was so tired, I went to bed early and slept all through, feel so much better this morning – lesson learnt? 13.74 miles walked.

This is my posting format….

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

5/27/25 : 225.2 SW before.

5/31: 226.4 (1917 CI)
I did not weigh yesterday, so my SW is from my last step on a scale. I can’t complain about this morning’s reading after the road trip.

I want to hit the next 6 days hard because I have another road trip the end this round. I am not going to take a scale because it’s a fly-in fishing trip in Ontario. We have weight restrictions for the final leg of the trip as we fly to a remote lake/fishing camp. Seven days of bliss as we haul Walleye and Pike over the gunnels of the boat. Catch and release except for what we eat for lunch every day. The food will be plentiful, but we will take it all in with us.

6/1: 226.6 (1899 CI)
I need to declare war on carbs. I am sure there is residual damage from my road trip.

6/2: 228.0 (!)
Gads! So yesterday I declared war on carbs…. I lost count of all the mindless carbs I ate. DW took cookies to a potluck and brought some home. I ate one every time I walked by the container. I am so weak between the ears.

Sorry to hear how your body responded to the pneumonia vaccine. 😪

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 298
May 31 – June 9, 2025

SW: 128.4

5/31 – 129.0 Did not get this posted on the correct day. I did a mini binge Friday night, and it is showing on the scale. I also had BAD night. I’ll expound below.

6/1 – 128.8 Friday, I had my physical as I mentioned last round. All went well, then she offered me the pneumonia vaccine. I figured why not. Well, man, it better be worth it. I was not warned how crappy I could feel (note that many have no reaction – like my sister). My arm was so sore that I could not sleep, and did not catch on that more was manifesting. I ended up with definite stomach ache, back ache, headache, and I think low level chills. Advil did not cut it, so I added Tylenol. Finally with 5 pills in me I felt good, which I was glad because I had a 10 am at my daughter’s house to show possible dresses. After, I headed to the mall, did returns feeling good and thinking it was over. Nope, it was just that the 5 pills had not worn off. Was in bed or on the couch the rest of the day and went to bed at 8PM. It is almost 7 am Sunday, I THINK it may be over, but just popped some Tylenol just in case.

6/2 – DNW Just was not in the mood to face the scale today, but heh, it is Monday and there is always a chance for a new day and to do better. I expect today to be good.

Thank you @quiltingjaine 🌸

5/31 RTW-Yesterday was a free for all after traveling home from my uncles cabin. Back on the wagon today.
6/1-140-Still feeling the repercussions of the road trip and unnecessary carbs. Today will be cooler, so we won’t be stuck in the house.

6/2-140- Made cinnamon rolls to take and ate one while I was there. Off to PB this morning and a fundraiser dinner tonight. No bread today.
