Day/Weight/Comment
03/08 – 124.6
03/09 – 126.0 – Still bouncing around, a little higher than I would like to be but I am where I am because of my choices. It has been so hard to find the motivation and discipline lately, and from the comments it seems like several of us are there.
03/10 – 127.2 – Not sure if my scale is off or if I am really bouncing around this much lately. I know some of it is ovulation bloat, sodium, bad choices, but there has been a lot of bounce up and down. Got my lunch with me today, so working on avoiding the temptations and getting back on track.
03/11 – 126.6 – Back on track yesterday and have the same planned for today.
03/12 – 126.6 – Stuck to plan yesterday.
03/13 – 125.2

General goal is to maintain below 150, and trend slowly downward to 145.
The downward trend is a bit slow for my liking, but at least it's is still downward.
Looking forward:
Never give up! Never give in!- March: I need to focus on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
- 2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals
Back Story:2018:2020
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019:
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/07 …..200.1….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/08 …..201.0 ….. The exact correct food, the exact wrong quantity. I worked up quite an appetite cleaning out the shed next door. More boxes to go through today. Also I was booked out last night in the cabins so I am going to clean 75% of them today and the rest tomorrow so I can finish the shed project and stay caught up on the cabin laundry. An unusually beautiful day here. However, I don’t think I have been quite this tired in YEARS. Clock change really got me.
03/09 …..200.2 ….. Sunday is tourist cabin cleaning day. I did 75% of them and it’s laundry. The other 25% will be done today. School closed so no walking. Temps better outside but still too much ice so I didn’t risk it, especially when I already fell pretty hard last week. (no lasting injuries, thank Goodness). Worked on shed cleaning and burning again also. Grabbed at convenient food all day but have some pretty good and healthy choices in the house so not a total disaster. Overall, 71 Carbs & 1261 calories. I slept well last night but not enough water. I’ll work on that today. I’m getting in lots of steps & miles and good calorie burn so I just need to tighten my belt another notch.
03/10 …..199.8 ….. I thought I would have a HUGE WHOOSHING drop today because I really did great yesterday. But no TMI probably didn’t help. There is such conflicting information on whether “what time” you eat your meals makes a difference or if calories are just calories in a 24 hour period, no matter what. I’m curious because I read a lot of posts in many challenges about late meals. My last meal of the day is always about 2:00 A.M. I am usually asleep by 4:00 A.M. and get in the 4.5 to 5.5 hour range of sleep per night. My last meal is planned on purpose now to keep my blood sugars level (stop the severe drops) and to also prevent binge eating triggered by hunger. Yesterday I walked over 21,000 steps, over 9 miles, burned over 3200 calories. I ate 1383 calories and 32 carbs with both being in my perfect range. All of it was healthy food. My water intake was over 65 oz. Come on Whoosh! Any thoughts, anyone, on the timing of our meals?
03/11 …..199.8 ….. The drops in weight are leveling off apparently. Today I have taken a self-imposed rest day from practically everything. I am working hard at maintaining my diet but doing very little movement/exercise or work. I just need a mental break from all the “projects”. I hope the rest of the night goes as well as it has today in regards to my food plan. I’m just tired.
03/12 …..199.8 ….. 3 days running on the weight but all is well. Staying on course with eating plan. No walking or major exercise yesterday. A much lower step count but accomplished a few things at home, though I seriously tried not to be responsible for much of anything. I just needed some rest from responsibility to EVERYTHING. I’m afraid it was constantly interrupted and so I don’t feel I got what I needed, but I’ll try again another day. It’s hard to both live and work at home (my home sits on the same property as my motel and cabins that rent nightly). Staying the course.
03/13 …..200.2 ….. A small indiscretion leads to a gain as easy as 1+1=2. It doesn’t take a genius to figure this out, but sometimes I’m just downright stupid! I am totally bummed about the news last night that all the schools are closed. There goes my walking! I’m keeping fingers crossed for good weather soon, but for the past five years it has snowed into April and May (with a few nicer days here and there). Last April our biggest snow was 10” overnight. If it weren’t for all my kids and grandkids living here I would be somewhere else! I stuck to diet yesterday except for one cupcake. I walked at the school (not knowing it would be the last time for awhile!). I’m going to try to stay positive and not let this news derail me or my plans. Stay strong Donna. Stay strong!
03/14 …..199.9 ….. Yesterday was an okay day. Diet plan on the higher end of acceptable so the scale did okay today but probably could have been better. I missed walking. My son’s weigh in is great! He is down another 3 pounds. Go Johnny!
03/15 …..xxxxx …..

Hello all😀 I haven't been on here this past week because everyday I've had to be out in search of goods and food. Every store in my area is lacking in something because of the panic buying. I usually buy groceries twice a week. It took me all week to get what I need and I'm just doing normal shopping. All the public schools in Maryland have shut down now for 2 weeks starting Monday. All libraries closed, at least one museum that aI know of, the zoo. I'm sure next week will bring more craziness. I've been having a lot of underlying stress concerning my older sister and younger brother and my two young families.

R107 SW 133.0kg
Day | Weight | Change | Comment
03/08 | 133.0kg | No change | Did get a bit of exercise in on Saturday, but didn't make the best food & drink choices.
03/09 | 133.0kg | No change | Relaxing weekend with the family. My little one started walking a few steps at a time this weekend so that's super exciting! He's 15 months so a little behind with it, but he's a big boy at 31.5 inches tall (half my height already!) and around 30lbs so I'm not surprised as he had more weight to lift and a higher centre of gravity to work with! We've known for a long time that he can do it, he just lacked the confidence so we've been working with him to build that up. So sweet to see his little face light up when he realised he was doing it himself!
03/10 | 133.0kg | No change | Actually tracked my calories yesterday and wound up under target! Drank 2L of water, should have been more though. Ate a very later dinner as we had a couple of parcels for our neighbour so he popped over to collect them and stayed for ~3 hours - he didn't leave until after 11pm and we still hadn't had dinner! So it was a quick bit of cheese & vegemite on toast for me, then off to bed around midnight which is going to make today hard due to a short sleep and unsatisfying dinner (it's 8am and I'm already ravenous). Will drink a lot of water today and get some exercise in since my planned ride on the stationary bike also didn't happen last night. On the bright side, I only ate half as much toast as I 'normally' would have at night (small victory, but also probably why I'm so hungry this morning). Onward & upward.
03/11 | 133.2kg | +0.2kg | Over target on calories and didn't do any exercise. I was just exhausted from the late night the night before and couldn't convince myself to do any exercise. Calories would have been a lot better if I had jumped on the bike while waiting for dinner to cook instead of eating a snack...
My little one has developed a cold (I think) so hoping I don't get that now too. Poor little guy, it's affecting his sleep so badly. We put the vapouriser on in his room last night and I think that helped.
03/12 | 133.3kg | +0.1kg | Still heading in the wrong direction. Did have a good day yesterday though - came in under calories (despite having takeaway burgers for dinner, I was able to limit myself to only a handful of chips). Also got 30 mins of exercise in, between walking at work and a quick 3-mile ride on my stationary bike before bed. Overall a good day yesterday.
03/13 133.0kg | -0.3kg | That’s better. Noticing a trend that I seem to gain in the earlier part of the week and then drop quickly at the end. Probably a result of my more relaxed approach on weekends. Overall trending down so that’s ok for now.
03/14 | 133.1kg | +0.1kg | Day off from work yesterday, spent the morning going through my little one’s clothes and packing away the too-small stuff. Relaxing afternoon and then did a quick 3 miles on the stationary bike before treating myself to a nice texting bath with a lime & coconut bath bomb and a green matcha face mask. Felt heavenly afterwards and had a good night of sleep! Did eat too much at lunch yesterday, but also drank a lot of water so overall an average day.
03/15 | 133.1kg | No change | relaxed weekend at home, though I did have to get some groceries so that was an adventure. Our town finally got a shipment of TP - some off-brand, 2-ply stuff but better than nothing! We actually don’t need any right now as it’s something I always keep spare of, so I did the right thing and left what little there was for others. We still have some items like pasta and rice on the shelves as well so hopefully it doesn’t get too bad here. Unfortunately my little guy is teething again so I needed to get some children’s paracetamol. We have two pharmacies in town. The first had none of the brand I trust, only an off brand so I grabbed some just in case. The other had one bottle left of our usual brand so I grabbed that one too. They have no idea when they’ll be able to restock and have run out of things like antibiotics because the ingredients come from China. Hopefully there’s an end to all this soon and things can go back to normal. Stay safe everyone.

69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Now I'm waiting to get my hip fixed. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh! I can't do any walking or biking...both kill me. I see my personal trainer three times a week. She is taking it very slow and easy with me.
I have March 10th as my hip surgery date...much better than April!

My 1st round:
Heaviest Weight: 403 lbs
Round Start Weight: 279.4
Round Goal Weight: 278 (-1.4 lbs)
Goals:
1) Be mindful of everything that goes into my mouth.
2) Drink 68 oz (around 2 L's) of water daily.
3) Walk as much as I'm able.
4) Aerobic exercise 3 times a week, for 20 minutes.
Day/Weight/Comment:
3/08: 284.8
3/09: 281 (-3.8lbs)
3/10: 280 (-1lb)
3/11: 279.4 (-.6 oz)
3/12: 280.4 (+1lb) Did really good all day with what I ate, then I sabotaged it by having a unhealthy dinner and overeating. It's a new day and giving up is not an option.
3/13: 279.4 (-1 lb) Lost the lb I gained. Working on not allowing myself to be tempted by food especially when I'm stressed about something.
3/14: DNW
3/15: 280.4 (+1 lb) Yo-yoing back & forth with the same lb. Sick with the common cold and I thought I'd start feeling better by now. So most of my goals have not been completed except the second one. Continue with the water intake to keep from becoming dehydrated.

Original start weight: 178 lbs (Oct. 10, 2019)
Goal this round: 159.0 lbs
Ultimate goal 135 lbs.
End of round 106 3/07= 160.4 lbs
03/09. 160.2 lbs. 1500 calories. 11,000 steps. Still no mri results would like to know about my back before I go off pills and can start working out.
03/10 160.6 lbs 1375 calories 3500 steps. Back and stomach are still a mess, finished grandson's quilt and started pillowcases instead of walking due to issues. So tired of not feeling well, I am sure you are tired of hearing about it. Ugh!
03/11 160.8 lbs 1075 calories, 15,600 steps MRI showed Moderate neural foraminal narrowing ( narrowing where the nerve comes out through the spine down your legs), some circumferential disc bulging and moderate degenerative endplate change ( DDD or osteoarthritis) in L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1, Doctor said to stay on pills even though they mess up my stomach and come back for PT. I am going to have to take a short break from pills and get my stomach better, it's not sustainable this way currently and now that I know exactly whats wrong I can do PT exercises for that without going to PT twice a week, it's 90 miles of driving each time.
03/12 161.0 lbs 1413 calories, 18,500 steps Back exercises. Went out with friends for supper and this is beer bloat. Off pills, stomach better and back holding its own. IF 14 hours
03/13 162.0 Lbs 1016 calories, 14,600 steps, Back exercises. IF 16 hours
03/14 161.0 lbs 1300 calories, 17,600 steps, Back exercise. IF 16 hours
03/15 160.4 lbs 1500 calories, 15,000 steps, Back exercises IF 16 hours Surprised it is not up, went shopping with a friend and we had a few drinks at her house before I came home.
03/16 160. 4 lbs 1500 calories, 8000 steps. Relaxed took the day off and quilted. I don't get the panic buying but I live on a farm so I have months of my own meat, and canned or frozen vegetables, milk cows, chicken, etc. I buy a lot of my other products in bulk. When I go to town to buy stuff, it's usually junk, like oreos for my son. I have gotten the bad parent look from others many times. LOL I can't perfect American cheese will so I do buy that but I can other cheeses.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/08 - 361.0 - A surprising little bounce back. Also, I realized my heartrate was too high while I was exercising (cardio vs. fat burn). Now I'm using my TickrFit to live monitor my heartrate.
03/09 - 363.0 - The time change really screwed me up over the weekend. Well... the weekend is over and it's time to get back to it.
03/10 - 362.2 - There we go, but in the right direction again. Sill using the eliptical, but keeping the heartrate between 100 to 112 (70% of my max). Gonna try some kettlebell later.
03/11 - 362.0 - Still going down. I'd like to see sub-360 before the end of this round. This might be my first plateau. I've just gotta persevere.
03/12 - 361.0 - And the beat goes on. Went to the gym (Planet Fitness) this morning and the place was very empty. Coronavirus anyone? I take a wipe in with me to use before I use the eliptical, then use their wipes at the end. When you've got a senior parent (82 y.o. mom) with respiratory problems, you take precautions.
03/13 - 360.4 - I tried the scale @ Planet Fitness this morning just before coming home and using my own. It showed me 2.6 lbs. heavier. The trend down continues. And an interview on Monday, so hopefully...
03/14 - 360.8 - Won't be using that scale @ Planet Fitness in the near future... it's now CLOSED. I packed my gym bag this morning and checked my email just before I left. Email from PF that, per the Governor of PA, all essential businesses are closed for 2+ weeks. I guess I'll be walking outside now. I hope my knees hold up. Of course, I could always blame this on my decision to order a pizza and cheesy bread yesterday. Figures...
03/15 - 359.7 - Another small victory. Under 360. Went to the local school to walk their track like I had been doing from November thru January when my knees began hurting too much. Track is locked. So I walked around the school itself. Only about 2.5 miles for the journey, but I worked up a decent sweat in that 45-50 minutes.

03/10 121.0 Amy couldn’t make it to the gym so I went by myself yesterday. Today is the last day of antibiotics for the infected bug bite. I’m so glad! I don’t like eating early and late!
03/11 120.0 Back to OMAD!
03/12 121.0 Possibly 2 softball games today as Granddaughter’s tournament starts at 11. Game 2 at 4:30.
03/13 120.5 Our girls won the morning game and my daughter texted me that the afternoon game and tournament were cancelled. All extracurricular, sports, etc, activities in the school district have been due to COVID-19 and then the governor declared a state of emergency in Nevada yesterday afternoon.
03/14 120.0 Had a nightmare, needed to pee, couldn’t go back to sleep, awake since 4am. Gave up and got up at 4:55. Now as I am about to post, slightly before 6am, my stomach is growling! I have never been a breakfast person! WTH???
03/15 118.5. Holy Moly! I didn’t eat early yesterday, I broke my fast after noon with a cheeseburger on 2 cheddar chaffles. I can’t believe another round is almost over!10 -

Day/Weight/Comment
03/08 - 165.1 No clue how I got this number. I ate terribly and drank too much wine yesterday. Maybe wine makes me lose weight. Lmao
03/09 - 164.2 Great day yesterday. Love the direction my scale is going. Hopefully I can keep this up this round!
03/10 - 163.4 I think my body is fighting something. I always lose weight when I'm sick. I hope I can keep it off.
03/11 - 162.9 Tested negative for strep yesterday however I was presenting all the symptoms therefore I got treated for it. Been on antibiotics for 18 hours now and feel a lot better. Still going to take it easy.
03/12 - 163.6 Almost back to normal. Going to try to hit the gym today.
03/13 - 163.6 Well didn't go to the gym. Trying to avoid germy places as much as possible. Fingers crossed I get a workout in at home tonight.
03/14 -163.6 I feel like I'm using this Pandemic as an excuse. I know I can easily workout at home. Ugh, I'm just being lazy.
03/15 162.5 My no working out streak continues ... still watching what I'm putting into my body though.

Monday, 3/09: 156.7 - ouch

Tuesday, 3/10: 157.2 - I am not sure why I am gaining weight, my calories are low and my workouts are high. I expect a drop soon.
590 calories left over - interesting to keep track of this, I should have lost 2 pounds last round instead of gaining by these "green" numbers.
Wednesday, 3/11: 155.3 - Almost back to Round 106 EW, it would be nice to get back to Round 105 EW and beyond : - ) Measuring 10 days at a time is such a good way to do it!

03/08 259.4 That was a lovely number to see this morning, I’m hopeful this is the start of a trend this round. It’s also nearly all of the gain from last round. I knew most of it had to be water.
03/09 257.8 That’s all of the gain from the last two rounds now gone and I’m back to the weight from the end of round 104. I’m still up a few pounds from my last previous low, and I don’t know if I’ll see new lows this round, but it’s possible that I might in a round or two at worst. I’m just so happy to be back on track food wise.
03/10 256.6 I wasn’t expecting the big drops to continue, but I’ll happily take it. I’m not that far from my previous low now and if I get another drop I might even reach it this round.
03/11 257.0 There’s my body going wait I wanted some of that water. It’s okay I’m still very happy with where I am.
03/12 256.2 Tom decided to arrive a week early. On the plus side I was so stir-crazy yesterday that I decided to join my husband on a walk. I had to use my cane, and I didn’t walk quickly, but my knee tolerated it for the most part. I don’t think I’m up for more than one of those in a day yet, but it’s a start and a sign that the knee is healing up nicely. I just need to be careful not to push it too fast.
03/13 255.8 I walked a little more yesterday, okay a lot more yesterday. I might have slightly over pushed, but I am so happy to be moving again because it really got me down to be sedentary over the last couple of weeks. It’s really weird thinking back because I used to hate even walking so much and now I hate just sitting around.
03/14 256.6 Not surprised I had a high calorie, high carb, high activity day. It’s going to be an up and down weekend because I have my mil’s birthday tomorrow.
03/15 255.2 That’s the bounce up plus a little more. I knew that it was just water from the carbs and activity. I’m certain tomorrow will be another bounce up as I’m planning a near maintenance day today so that I can enjoy a little cake and pizza for my mil’s birthday.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/07 …..200.1….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/08 …..201.0 ….. The exact correct food, the exact wrong quantity. I worked up quite an appetite cleaning out the shed next door. More boxes to go through today. Also I was booked out last night in the cabins so I am going to clean 75% of them today and the rest tomorrow so I can finish the shed project and stay caught up on the cabin laundry. An unusually beautiful day here. However, I don’t think I have been quite this tired in YEARS. Clock change really got me.
03/09 …..200.2 ….. Sunday is tourist cabin cleaning day. I did 75% of them and it’s laundry. The other 25% will be done today. School closed so no walking. Temps better outside but still too much ice so I didn’t risk it, especially when I already fell pretty hard last week. (no lasting injuries, thank Goodness). Worked on shed cleaning and burning again also. Grabbed at convenient food all day but have some pretty good and healthy choices in the house so not a total disaster. Overall, 71 Carbs & 1261 calories. I slept well last night but not enough water. I’ll work on that today. I’m getting in lots of steps & miles and good calorie burn so I just need to tighten my belt another notch.
03/10 …..199.8 ….. I thought I would have a HUGE WHOOSHING drop today because I really did great yesterday. But no TMI probably didn’t help. There is such conflicting information on whether “what time” you eat your meals makes a difference or if calories are just calories in a 24 hour period, no matter what. I’m curious because I read a lot of posts in many challenges about late meals. My last meal of the day is always about 2:00 A.M. I am usually asleep by 4:00 A.M. and get in the 4.5 to 5.5 hour range of sleep per night. My last meal is planned on purpose now to keep my blood sugars level (stop the severe drops) and to also prevent binge eating triggered by hunger. Yesterday I walked over 21,000 steps, over 9 miles, burned over 3200 calories. I ate 1383 calories and 32 carbs with both being in my perfect range. All of it was healthy food. My water intake was over 65 oz. Come on Whoosh! Any thoughts, anyone, on the timing of our meals?
03/11 …..199.8 ….. The drops in weight are leveling off apparently. Today I have taken a self-imposed rest day from practically everything. I am working hard at maintaining my diet but doing very little movement/exercise or work. I just need a mental break from all the “projects”. I hope the rest of the night goes as well as it has today in regards to my food plan. I’m just tired.
03/12 …..199.8 ….. 3 days running on the weight but all is well. Staying on course with eating plan. No walking or major exercise yesterday. A much lower step count but accomplished a few things at home, though I seriously tried not to be responsible for much of anything. I just needed some rest from responsibility to EVERYTHING. I’m afraid it was constantly interrupted and so I don’t feel I got what I needed, but I’ll try again another day. It’s hard to both live and work at home (my home sits on the same property as my motel and cabins that rent nightly). Staying the course.
03/13 …..200.2 ….. A small indiscretion leads to a gain as easy as 1+1=2. It doesn’t take a genius to figure this out, but sometimes I’m just downright stupid! I am totally bummed about the news last night that all the schools are closed. There goes my walking! I’m keeping fingers crossed for good weather soon, but for the past five years it has snowed into April and May (with a few nicer days here and there). Last April our biggest snow was 10” overnight. If it weren’t for all my kids and grandkids living here I would be somewhere else! I stuck to diet yesterday except for one cupcake. I walked at the school (not knowing it would be the last time for awhile!). I’m going to try to stay positive and not let this news derail me or my plans. Stay strong Donna. Stay strong!
03/14 …..199.9 ….. Yesterday was an okay day. Diet plan on the higher end of acceptable so the scale did okay today but probably could have been better. I missed walking. My son’s weigh in was great! He is down another 3 pounds. Go Johnny!
03/15 …..200.1 ….. Besides our schools, all of our city and government offices have also closed including our secretary of state, court systems etc. So far the banks are open but I’m not sure how long that will last. I am trying very hard not to stress eat, just like everyone else I suppose. In Michigan, this is getting pretty serious as far as our state government declarations and the panic/hoarding that is going on. Full grocery stores have already closed due to lack of food. No diapers can be found for my grandbabies, and that is going out of town to different towns since we are in the rural areas. No meat available within 150 miles of me according to my own family and friends.
No burger, no chicken etc. My one daughter was able to buy some big turkey legs and a little pork. This will be the first time in decades that there will be no corned beef for St. Patty's day in our homes. There are no known cases up in my area yet, but people are definitely panicking. Stay safe everyone. Food is already becoming scarce here unless you stocked up in time. Unlike most folks who live in these small cabin homes in my area, I do have a stand-up freezer in my garage with some stocked up meat. I should be okay for a bit. Let’s all do the best we can to stay healthy and eat the best we can.

It’s warmed way up around here so I took a nice longish walk yesterday and plan another this afternoon. I also need to pull some weds from my garden this afternoon — better to get them now! Wishing you all a lovely week!

Boy, I hate it when I write a nice post and then hit “done” instead of “post.” Enjoy your day!
3/11 - nw
I indulged a bit yesterday. I’d been craving chocolate cake for more than a week, so I baked a single-layer double chocolate cake and glazed it with dark chocolate. It’s so rich, a tiny bit did the trick! I took half to my neighbor and there’s a piece left for DH. And I’m satisfied!
3/12 - 179
Okay, that’s good.
3/13 - nw
I was a bit mopey yesterday about all the cancellations, including a class I was scheduled to teach next week on “Planting for Pollinators” and a couple of writing classes I have planned for late spring/summer, but this morning I’m feeling perkier and have decided it’s a good time to launch the online classes I’ve thought of teaching for a couple of years. So I’ve started that process and feel much more focused and less snacky. Stay healthy, everyone!

Hard to believe, but 28 years ago today I married my best friend. It’s been a ride, and he’s loved me through thick and thin and weird eating in between!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/8: 141.8 (-.4) – Did a longish yoga class yesterday and a nice walk. The next 8 weeks may be rough as I navigate the hip issue and try to maintain/ lose lbs. I think sticking to water, mindful eating, good choices is the answer. How many calories will I burn washing hands and not touching my face? 🤣
3/9: 141.0 (-.8) – Guess I answered the question above! Washing hands burns lots of calories. And I also ate well under my calories yesterday…too much most likely. I ate too late and then wasn’t starving at dinner. Gotta focus on slow steady weight loss and good habits.😏
3/10: 141.8 (+.8) – There you have it….back to where I started. Exercise box was checked nicely yesterday but the eating box did not go as planned – I let the stress from the news get to me and was hungry waiting for hubs to get home so delved into the dang Black Pepper Triscuits….then added a caloric bowl meal to dinner….should have done a better job adding ingredients. Then had some wine…..It all comes back to choices…..🤔
3/11: 141.6 (-.2) - Well….Dang it. Had my MRI follow up. Femoral head stress fracture, most likely due to bone insufficiency….aka osteopenia/porosis. I have osteopenia. But have been religious with vitamin D/ weight bearing exercise – running, and now strength training, etc. Guess it has not been enough and running more caused it. So I have been told to stop running and even distance walking for 8 weeks. I can slowly cycle, swim, yada yada yada….Gotta come up with a plan. It’s not an uncommon injury for runners. 😒
3/12:141.2 (-.4) A little surprised. As part of my social distancing, wine has reared its ugly head. I will need to really focus on food choices if I am going to survive 8 weeks without major cardio options and I also really need to rethink what I am eating for bone health.
3/13: 140.8 (-.4) Happy with this….really feeling the need to stress eat and drink. Son is in NYC and there are rumors of a full quarantine and he needs to stay and work. I am not that worried about him getting the virus….just the isolating feeling. What a mess this all is. Stay safe people and wash your hands. 😍
3/14: 140.0 (-.8) Busy day and did my 40 minute cycle at the gym. They haven’t closed it yet so I will keep going but just wiping down the bike before and after and washing my hands. Ate light until dinner because I knew we were having friends over and take out. Made a vegan, flourless chocolate banana loaf that was really yummy. Going to log the recipe to see how the calories were. 😬
3/15: 140.0 (0) This is usually my longer run day. A new reality – rented a citi bike at the trail and rode 8 miles while husband did his run. It was ok. I needed more heart rate increase and maybe a few more miles. It’s a process. I have also increased my calories to slow down my loss as I approach goal weight. Need to see how body adjusts….and then if I get there figure out maintenance.

Round 107 - March 8 to 17
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 165.8, GW – 164 something, UGW – 140.
Goals: continue with 12 hr. IF, see if I can complete my tracking every day and get to the gym 3x a week and not eat back the cals. Getting some exercise the non-gym days would be a great bonus.
Day/Weight/Comment
03/08 – 166.2 Did not count this as my start weight as it seemed like a blip up for no reason – except weighing 1 ½ hrs. earlier thanks to time change and getting up earlier on Sundays.
03/09 – 165.8 Stuck to IF last night but did not chart. Sticking to it tonight as Mondays are usually my downfall.
03/10 – 165 – Despite my resolve had a snack last night but kept it small and a healthy choice. NSV went to bed at a decent hour even though my body still is on old time.
03/11 – 164.8 – Back to the beginning of the last round. Anything below this feels like some progress. IF – 13 hrs. Did not track, need a new battery for my scale.
03/12- 164.8
03/13 – 164.6 – IF – 13 hrs. Did not track, but did get a new battery for my scale. Big push on finishing painting the bedroom as we are getting company next week. Managed not to stress snack in the evening though and got to see my little reward on the scale.
03/14 - 165
03/15 – 163.6 – Haven’t seen this number in awhile. It may be partly due to dehydration but will enjoy it anyway. Had a crazy day yesterday – 4 hrs. driving, a loooong group practice, a little shopping and ran out of tea and water. Did buy some milk-to-go and drank a bunch after I got home. Was fairly careful on what I ate. Someone, bless her soul, brought zucchini squares and cookies to practice. The zucchini squares were like quiche filling (eggs, zucchini, herbs, etc.) baked in a pan and cut. Definitely going to try this idea for travel/snacks. I passed on the cookies. Cold germs that I have been fighting all winter kicked back into gear so am taking a relax day today.
