Day/Weight/Comment
12/19: 218.6 (-0.8)/18.3 (-0.1). I've been sick for the past couple of days. If I could keep up being sick for about a month, I think I'd hit my goal weight! I'm feeling better today, so I'll just keep chugging along and doing this the old-fashioned way. I probably won't get to the gym until Friday (still feeling a bit under the weather).
12/20: 219.2 (+0.6)/18.4 (+0.1). Two things - first, I need to cross a premade meal that I like a lot off my list. My wife doesn't really like it, and I have trouble saving any of it (splitting it for dinner and then lunch). It's the devil, and we need to part ways. Lastly, my gas got shut off yesterday (long story, but apparently they can't transfer the autopayment from my previous location to my house, even though they're the same company). So I was cold. I think I wanted to use this as an excuse for eating all of my lovely premade dinner, but I have to call BS on myself. That dinner has to go!

I want to take a hot minute here to first thank @GrandmaJackie, and to share some observations as I start my 5th round.
I participate in a couple of different challenges. By far, this one is the most insightful. I've spent a lot of time in those other challenges trying to figure out what was going on with my results. A daily scale capture and a few words about what is going on around that number here is invaluable.
I have saved a little index of my last post in each round, and I can go back and look for patterns.
We put a lot of emotional and physical focus, effort, and energy into this. Changing habits is hard work. Have to remember to live life, learn to cope with stressors, and deal with the unexpected. We are tracking numbers that are just a single marker, and tend to get wound up when they don't match the effort.
In doing that, we sometimes overlook the real successes and how much progress we are actually making - and, sometimes, what the ultimate goal is. Sure. There's a number involved. But there's usually some other motivation. How much progress towards that we are actually making is the true measure of success.
For me? I'm at a number below the weight that triggers my hyatial hernia. It's winter, it's cold and damp, and I have only had a couple of days that I needed Aleeve for my knees vs daily last year this time. I was edging towards high cholesterol last year. This year I'm back in a normal range. I have not yet been hit with a cold or upper respiratory infection. I feel better and have more energy. My ultimate goal may be represented by a number, but it is ultimately about being healthier, avoiding pain from thehyatial hernia, and increasing joint strength and flexibility to prevent injury (and recover better in the event of one). Yes. I'm down a size. But I am well on my way to the overall goals.
And, back to the point, when I get frustrated with my progress (or lack thereof), I can go back to my daily notes in these rounds and they reassure me that all is well.
@LisaW57 I find your words to be great gifts. Merry Christmas to you too!4 -
I don’t have access to a gym for weights but I want to strengthen my core and be ready to weight lift again one day when I can go to the gym again. I need to research a routine for exercises to improve my overall health...suggestions for exercises?

Bodyweight training might be a good option. No equipment required. Here's a website I have really liked. He does a really good job explaining a basic routine, as well as progressions of each exercise.

12/19 133.8 – 15.09 miles walked yesterday plus 60 mins yoga, all macros well in green.
12/20 134.6 – 2.43 miles only walked yesterday, very sore today due to a combination of back bends at yoga on Wednesday & soft play with my two toddler grand children yesterday lol!! Bad day eating yesterday.
12/21 135.6 – 4.14 miles walked yesterday – rain !! A big late xmas meal out last night ate late & not healthy!! Why can you put on a pound a day, but never lose a pound a day? One more celebration (tonight) and then no more until xmas day itself so 3 days to try to pull back before then!! But you know what, Christmas comes just once a year and then I can get right back on the horse !!

I have already hit my 2019 goal. The trick now is to stay there as I travel through the minefield of December. 😂
I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

Round 98 EW: 147.4
==============================
19/12: 147.8: Goals 🎄 The temptations at these festive social events are hard to resist. There is bound to be a bounce up in consequence. No more now until family arrives on Christmas Eve, so will be taking remedial action until then.
20/12: 149.2: Goals 🎄 This is why monitoring my weight is so important. Despite choosing small tasters, and seeming to be being under goal each day, 4 days of festive social gatherings this week have created an inevitable rise. It's so difficult to log accurately that which others have provided.
21/12: 149.4: Goals All my groups have now stopped for the holiday. Hopefully, weight will go back down before Christmas, as I have no more social events in the offing. This has still been the best I have done at this time of the year for many decades, so I’m over the moon!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Bodyweight training might be a good option. No equipment required. Here's a website I have really liked. He does a really good job explaining a basic routine, as well as progressions of each exercise.

Would also recommend Darebee.com for downloadable workouts sheets
And fitnessblender for videos on YouTube
