    Looking forward:
    I'm just too danged cussed to let this thing knock me back, and ruin all the effort I have put in to get here. I am stepping up my routine, and taking control. Sheltering in place means I can fully concentrate on getting in my exercise, and preparing healthy food.
    July: focus is on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

    Aims:
    • 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 by keeping busy

    Never give up! Never give in!
    Back Story:
    2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
    2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
    2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ So far, so good.
    That's a WIN in my book!
    2020
    Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

    07/06: 150.8: Goals🌟I’m still upping my training intensity, so this is not exactly a surprise. Weight training and jogging are both known to increase water retention, so I’m just going with that. It’s gotta settle down eventually.

    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.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 119 (round 51 for me ) I'm in for another round (of course!) – I need to just keep going! Yet again thank you @GrandmaJackie, such a champion particularly in these unprecidented times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.

    Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

    Goal – get back to 133 for this round.... - aim to get back to & stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep the 10 days binge free! Keep calm, wash hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.

    Keep calm – we're all in this together!

    Date/Weight/Comment

    07/06 135.4 - 9.69 miles walked yesterday, wonderful day in the National Forest! 57 calories in credit, 10g fat over.
    07/07 134.6 - 8.54 miles walked yesterday. 183 calories in credit, 13 carbs over.
    07/08 134.2 - 2.81 miles walked yesterday, rain all day hence low mileage and it means that well over on calories, also high sodium ready meal last night means that tomorrow will probably be up.
    07/09 134.8 - 8 miles walked yesterday all along the prom. at the seaside, first time at the sea this year ! 328 calories in credit, 15 carbs over.
    07/19 135.2 - persistent rain meant no walking yesterday, got to spend time with DS & DGD. Food choices sensible but way over all macros ?
    07/11 135.2 - 11.4 miles walked yesterday, almost no rain ! Makes all the the difference to me; 550 valid and all other macros in green.
    07/12 135.4 - 8.3 miles walked yesterday. 61 calories in credit, but 12 carbs over.
    07/13 135.8 – travelled back from our caravan week away yesterday hence only 3.87 miles walked. Back home now & back to usual routine & no alcohol until weekends, 2 days to improve on round start weight.

    KEEP SAFE EVERYONE :). Keep calm – we're all in this together!

    @kblanc14 thank you so much! I really do struggle with the weekends! I keep telling myself when I get to maintaining my weight weekends like that every once in awhile will be fine but if I wanna lose I need to quit self-sabotaging. This weekend has been amazing though!
