OSW - 213 (highest weight ever 280 but I've had most of that off for more than 15 years but still)
CW - 186.4
RGW - 185.4
UGW – 135

Food Goals:
Get 5 servings of fruits/veggies every day.
Stay under my calorie goal of 1,400.

Exercise Goals:
Walk at least an hour 3 days a week, 4 days if nothing better is available.
Weight training 1 day a week

12/04 - 186.4 Just one day off from hitting my 186 goal. I guess eating 300 calories all day and 1100 after 6:00 p.m. is going to have an impact. Sure I stayed within goal but the timing screwed me for next day weigh in - lesson learned. Going to the gym tonight for weights. After six rounds I've lost 5.9 pounds. Very close to a pound a week. If I keep that pace I'll be at my goal in 1 year. I started in March but didn't really get serious until July or August. Here's to the next six weeks. It would be nice to start the new year in the 170's.
12/05 - Traveling no scale. I drove four hours yesterday in the snow, then went straight to the hotel. I did two miles on the treadmill but did not make it to the gym. The roads are clear, I'm going to the gym tonight.
12/06 - Traveling no scale. Went to the gym and had a great workout. Stayed within calories and didn't have any sweets. I'm driving 4 hours home this afternoon - in snow again. I'm a little anxious about tomorrow morning's weigh-in after two days of nothing. This weighing every day thing is kind of addictive.
12/07 - 186.1 I'm happy with that. My boyfriend was traveling with me which means I'm going to much more interesting restaurants and it's more of a challenge to stay within calories. In this case Thai and Vietnamese; I struggle to log it. I do my best guess and that has to be good enough. I still exercised and didn't go too crazy (Ok I had more of his onion strings than I should have on the last day).

12/04 - 131.6 - 1246 - 10-day ave 1401
Back in the "legal" zone. I'm still slacking off on exercise because of lingering pain, especially in my joints. The elimination diet I was on eliminated 15 pounds but not the pain. Still a win! We tried another short course of prednisone and will re-check inflammation levels mid month and go from there. In the meantime, I need to suck it up and exercise anyway. Maybe I should join a "get off your butt for 10 days" challenge!

12/05 - 131.2 - 1160 - 10-day ave 1383
Follow-up visit with dietitian today re. the elimination diet, which has made no difference in my pain/inflammation. It will be interesting to hear what other suggestions she might have. In the meantime, I'm trying a new baked salmon patty recipe for lunch. Mmmm!

12/06 - 130.4 - 1370 - 10-day ave 1399
OK, back down where I belong. My dietitian visit left me a little confused and blue. I've seen no difference in pain with the elimination diet I did, and no symptoms of any sensitivities as I've added foods back into my diet. The only major changes I've noticed is that my gut seems to be functioning better and I lost 9 pounds on the diet. Anyway, my integrative doctor is sending me to another rheumatologist, and I know he's going to want me to take prednisone long term, and I'm not happy about that. The dietitian did say that 6 weeks of eliminating foods may not be enough and suggested I think about doing it again for 12 weeks, or even doing the much more restrictive auto-immune paleo diet. But of course if I take pred and follow the diet and the pain subsides, we won't know which treatment did it. I had such high hopes for the elimination diet I was on that I'm really bummed out right now. I don't want to be on pred long term but it's the only medication mentioned in anything I've read about PMR. Anyway, thanks for listening. My salmon patty (new recipe) yesterday was delicious, so there is that! And our kitten is lovely and funny and sweet, and I just sold two paintings, and I've just started a new book (writing, not reading, although I did just start Louise Penny's new book, Kingdom of the Blind). So I guess a bit of pain isn't the end of the world. Thanks for giving me a place to unload.

12/07 - 130.6 - 1140 - 1382
I'm feeling slightly less overwhelmed, although...I asked for a referral to a different rheumatologist and my integrative doctor tried, but because ALL the rheums in this system are in the same practice, they won't let me see a different doctor. I will not go back to the first one - he didn't listen, dismissed my concerns about prednisone, IMO lied to me abut potential side effects (said there are non for short-term use, which is not true), and spoke so fast I couldn't understand him (I had to see the printed appt report before I knew what he diagnosed, although I asked him to repeat several times). The other system in town has rheumatologsits but it's a 40-min drive to the office, which I'd just as soon avoid, so I'm pretty annoyed. I am going to contact the hospital admin to find out about recourse - can they really deny me care because I didn't feel comfortable with one of their doctors? The patient is punished for the doctor's shortcomings? OK, another rant, but I'm almost to the point of saying I'll just live with the pain. So annoying.

12/04 - Tuesday - 178.8 - Hmmm...well thats interesting. I guess the weekend just took a day to catch up with me. Yesterday was a good eating day, even did a little yoga to destress and it was a circus at work. Not sweating it though...I felt really good this morning. Sticking to habits today, canned soup for lunch and eggroll in a bowl for dinner and tomorrows lunches. When I closed yesterdays diary is said I would be 170.5 in 5 weeks time so that was encouraging seeing that I'm not far "off schedule" to short term goal #3!
12/05 - Wednesday - 178.8 - Ate Wendys without prelogging last night and now I know that a spicy chicken sandwich and fries is 1100 calories! Whoops. Ended the day around maintenance but it was not what I had planned and beat myself up over it for a moment - DH reminded me that it is a TREAT and I'm not eating fast food every day like I used to. I then gave myself some credit for the changes I've made and was able to enjoy the fact that we actually had a nice impromptu dinner date. This is a LIFELONG journey so getting used to a normal amount of eating out is needed - I cant beat myself up over living life! But I can learn from it!
12/06 - Thursday - 177.4 - Stressful evening last night. DH may be seeking other employment, unknown is terrifying but we will be okay. Anyway, work feels like a funeral today. Stuck to habits this morning and will be clinging to them thru this. Endo follow up this afternoon - and physical appointment labs came back looking good! My non-fasting glucose was 87 at 3PM!!! More labs to be done today and hoping to see improvement there also.
12/07 - Friday - 177.0 - Feeling more optimistic about our future today - the only thing I can plan for is that the plan will change - sticking by that motto through this next chapter. Endocrinologist appointment was amazing. Doc said I can come off my metformin, and other meds - continue with lifestlye changes and ready to start trying to conceive!!! PCOS symptoms have subsided, which is the whole reason I got serious about this journey. Smashing goals and pushing on to the next goal!

12/4 - 178.8 - Starting to come back down. I never have a Round goal weight, only a 10 lb goal to reach. This time I set one. 175 lbs, to keep me accountable and away from the carbs until I reach it. BECAUSE, there are 2 carb days I am looking forward to, gingerbread and belgian waffles 😃 both courtesy of my son's baking. I've been waiting on this gingerbread for 4 years😂
12/5 - 176.8 - 😏 Okay. I will take it, thank you very much.
12/6 - 176.2 - 😊 Keeping my carbs low. Cruciferous vegetables and leafy greens only.

12/7 - 176.4 - Up slightly. Feeling a little under the weather the past few days. Sore throat TRYING to take hold. Felt out of it yesterday and instead of laying down for 15 minutes, I ate a few (5) tortilla chips. They did perk me up slightly (the salt!) and I was able to get through my evening chores. Otherwise, I'm still being good 😊 with the carbs

12/04: 150.0- Morning exercise. Still recovering from Saturday’s “binge”. Sporting a dandy of a headache. But things are evening out. Going to be a good round. I can feel it! Today’s Focus: Getting 10,000 steps.

12/05: 148.5- Good day yesterday. Didn’t make the 10k steps, but I was busy and it felt good. No morning exercise today. Woke up hungry. Spent time this morning reading instead. Today’s Focus: Exercise.

12/06: ToM- Hole in the stomach that didn’t want to be filled yesterday. Ended up not exercising- plans for mom alone time got thwarted. Oh well. Morning exercise today! Followed by Miracle Morning. Today’s Focus: Being present and not distracted by what doesn’t matter.

12/07: 152- Had a full day of movement yesterday. But I also had a pit in my stomach all day long that came with eating everything I could. I am confident that I’d logged everything. With my exercise calories I was at 0 at the end of the day. But my food choices were not the best and so there was a increase on the scale this morning. Boo. Morning exercise despite not wanting to. Based on how I feel now, I am pretty sure it’s going to be another hungry day. Going to continue with my focus from yesterday: Be present and not to be distracted by what doesn’t matter.

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.

12/3 130.0 Round 60 end weight

12/4 132.0 Totally expected. CARB LOAD! Satisfied my craving for veggies tempura yesterday! It’s been about 6 months since we last went there.
12/5 133.0 I hardly had any water yesterday and then set my bottle down when we were at Ethel M’s and forgot to pick it up! Carl got up early this morning to take friends to the airport and in an effort to be quiet, dropped something causing me to bolt upright in bed at 3:43AM. I tried to go back to sleep but that didn’t work. It could be the carbs from Monday but I think this higher weight is the result of getting up so early. So I’m having my coffee, and WILL weigh again later. Maybe I’ll try to nap later. I am not a napper. Gym this afternoon with Amy. **Treadmill
12/6 131.5 Good day yesterday. Gym @2 today with Amy. **Treadmill and weights. Grand-girls have basketball today @ 4:30- one player, one cheerleader. Then I think Jimmy John’s Unwich for dinner and music at Fiesta @6! Busy day!
12/7 132.0 No JJ’s or Fiesta yesterday. My hamstring and neck hurt and it was all I could do to sit on the bleachers and watch the ballgame. Our girls won - big time.

**I have gone back and added what I did at the gym as I think this data may explain some fluctuations.

12/04 145.4 up a .2...why? No clue. Ate within a deficint, exercised good and had a little over 1.2 liters of water. I am assuming it's a slight fluctuation before a woooosh lol or at least I hope 🤞🤞volleyball tonight and I always see a loss the next day, so needless to say I am excited to weigh in tomorrow.

12/05 145.2 and down again. I was fine yesterday morning but by around dinner time the hunger monster awoke. I couldn't seem to get full, regardless of how hard I tried. I played volleyball and exercised pretty good yesterday but because of my eating, I ended on a maintenance. I also had a good amount of energy last night after I got home, so decided to exercise a bit more while doing laundry and didn't end up going to bed until after 2. Needless to say I need to get a bit more sleep then that.

12/06 145.2 my body is comfortable here. I guess I shouldn't complain, had a chocolate craving around 8 so that overkilled my calories by a bit. Exercised good and 2 liters of water.

12/07 144.0 last night I started feeling really sick. I think I caught the flu so I went to bed early and am still feeling sick now..have No clue what happened, was fine all day then BAM, nausea. So, as much as this number excited me, I also know it's because I only ate 600 cal. Yesterday and couldn't even count the amount of hours I have been sleeping. Once I feel better and start eating normally again, I will, get a more accurate number

@AJB1014 Are you eating keto? I’m sorry I don’t remember. So many women with PCOS report getting pregnant within weeks of going Keto. And YAY for getting off metformin!!

Thank you!!! No keto for me - tried it, lost weight, gained it all back as it just was not sustainable for me. Learned lots from it though and I eat significantly less carbs and higher quality ones now!

AJB1014

@abowersgirl Get well soon!

deepwoodslady

@abowersgirl & @tiabirdie56 I hope you both will feel much better soon!

@back2cute It's very nice to have you back!

@AJB1014 Yay on dropping the Metformin! I stopped taking 20 mg. daily of glyburide last spring. This fall they dropped my synthroid meds down from 150 mcg to 137 mcg daily, all due to weight loss. I am still on the Metformin 2500 mg per day so getting that lowered (and eventually eliminated) is a huge goal for me. Congrats of this wonderful and not so simple achievement. I am very proud of you!

AJB1014

@SheilaBoneham That is frustrating to say the least! In my experience, I've been told that the doctor is not required to refer you on, but they ARE required to let you get a second opinion. So maybe it's just semantics with the insurance company since you've already been referred by the integrative meds doctor once before, instead could you ask the rheum that you saw to refer you on for a second opinion? I could be mistaken entirely, but worth a shot?

@deepwoodslady Thank you!!! You are headed in the right direction yourself and I have no doubt you will get there!

Day/Weight/Comment:
12/04 - 176.8 Whoosh. Very low calorie and carb day yesterday to help jumpstart me & get me back on track. Very low on fluids and water because I was just so busy still prepping for the new whole house carpet install Thursday, so I may be a bit dehydrated and that is likely reflected in the large weight drop. Today I will carry a cup & straw with me around the house to make sure I get more water in. December will be a little tough with all the festivities, but I plan on making mini goals and taking baby steps to simplify things and yet stay the course. I’m going to stay smart while doing December in Style!
12/05 - 176.8 No change. Increased my water a bit, but not as much as I had planned. Still busy preparing for whole house carpet. Put signs on many boxes and loaded up the pickup truck with them to get things off the floor and stored out of the house. I should see another drop soon with all this work! However, my body may be holding onto fluid I need. I was so dehydrated yesterday that I had to take two AZO pills to prevent a bladder issue I felt coming on. I’m doing great this morning, but I will try adding more water again today and I hope I do even better with hydrating.
12/06 - 178.4 Stress eating last night for sure. High Sodium, retaining fluids but I think I seriously needed them due to some dehydration of late. Carpet going in today. Last minute moving of items this morning including 3 bedrooms of mattresses on the floors. I can’t wait for this day to be over. Ugg.
12/07 - 178.0 This is from working my butt off yesterday. So happy. A loss. I do not take this for granted. Carpet is in! Looks fabulous, and just in time for Christmas. Today I get my furniture that is at my neighbors brought back. I got everything in from the pickup truck that was stored. Many many boxes to unpack today. Also may be starting some Christmas decorating if I can fit it in. My son has a hair appointment I must take him to today so it will be very hectic around here today. I must try to remember Water. Not just coffee. Breathe Donna, just Breathe.
