Day/Weight/Comment
11/13-123.4 When I first lost weight last year, these 10 day challenges were the source of my success. I am committing to weigh everyday and complete my food diary daily. Starting on the weekend will be challenging, compounded if restrictions start up again. Planning pickleball indoors today, too cold for outside. Bad start missing my body pump class this morning, will try to do this afternoon. Good Luck everyone, and stay healthy.
11/14- 125.4- Knew this would happen  Went out to lunch with my wonderful friends and pickleball buddies, had the most delicious salad: Wilted Kale with roasted butternut squash, cashews, lemon Tahini dressing. Totally awesome! Had to guess the calorie, and Ham sure was full of sodium. Usually takes me several days to equalize. Oh I forgot a Bloody Mary too! I knew too expect this, but still hate going backwards. Bad migraine this morning waiting for medicine to kick in then hope to do Body Pump and stretching and some kind of Trot.
11/15- 125.4 I know, I know, I know it will take 3-4 days to equalize my bloat from lunch Friday but I does play with your mind. Hubby wanted to grab takeout last night, but I decided against it because did not want to bloat even more. Thanks to the Turkey Trot Challenge I did do a over 4 mile walk- we lost our dog in September who inspired me to walk everyday, so miss her but felt great to be outside. Ate above my calories yesterday, wanted to grab a leftover halloween can and my husband and daughter had raided supply and left me with only 10000 mini bars yuck- still ate 6- So should be relieved I stayed the same.
11/16
11/17 125.2- Thrown off course Sunday and Monday- My father-in- passed away. Thanks goodness peacefully at home He did not have Covid but because of Covid we can not travel to the funeral.

Last spring I decided to sell my two motel/cabin businesses and my home and go into an early retirement. Since my husband passed away 4 years ago, it has been difficult for me to manage (especially in maintenance) by myself. I live with my autistic son who can only offer minimal help.
My goal was to find a home in my area to stay near my children and grandchildren. To find the right buyers for my loyal guests and to find something that would offer space to set my son up for his own full apartment to teach him more independence. I managed to do all that but it was quite a journey.
The house I found was being managed by a Court Conservator because the homeowner was diagnosed with Alzheimers. The goal was to get the sale through the court before her death (sadly) so that it would not enter into a lengthy probate process.
Finally after 7 months of paperwork and prayer, my business has sold and I have closed on both properties and on my new home also. These past few weeks I have spent trying to continue to run the business during very very heavy hunting seasons (Sept 14-Nov 14 bird, bear, bow, small game) and (Nov 15-Nov 30) Deer Rifle). I have also been working with the new owners who have occupied the other business and are coming to the business where I reside for training. This is a painstaking process.
I am now, also, in the middle of packing and moving things. My home becomes more bare by the minute. There is much to do at the new house. Adding gas lines. Fixing some plumbing. Replacing the well bladder, getting internet (where there never was any) and phone service hooked up. Getting Directv hooked up (where there never was any). Dryer Vents, Dishwasher and extra phone lines are on the agenda today.
I look forward to logging more consistently again in the very near future. I look forward to more movement and exercise when I am finally in my new home and retired. In the meantime, I appreciate ALL THE SUPPORT and the CARE AND KINDNESS and ALL THE PATIENCE this group have given me. I will get back in that saddle again, I promise! I will keep weighing in, keep reporting and try my best not to blow my fitness goals too bad. During the final part of my business process, just know that I APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. You are all MAKING A POSITIVE AND WONDERFUL DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE and I THANK YOU FOR THAT.
What a change! I'm glad things are moving forward. Wishing you ease in the work on the new house and a simple transition for your son (how is he handling all this? I do worry about him, in general. I know he's well taken care of but the world is... a mess at times and its hard on us all).5 -
@deepwoodslady - ((HUGS)) It does sound like you've had a lot on your mind as well as physically draining. I hope the new owners of your cabins & hunting lodge are successful as well as your personal reset on your own life with a new home, your autistic son, nearby kids/grandkids, and retirement. Congrats on accomplishing those goals. You'll soon have much more time for your own personal reflection and I believe 2021 will be an inspiration to you for your weight loss journey and health. Take care!5

11/14: 219.6 (-1.0)/28.8 (-0.3). I am going to do some strength training today, even if it means using a crappy machine, body weight exercises, and some rubber bands. It's time. Being here is great, but exercise is the other main ingredient in my overall health and fitness. Time to step it up.
11/15: 219.2 (-0.4)/28.8 (0.0). I actually exercised yesterday. I did not do a ton of stuff, but I hit most body parts, and I put a decent effort in. I'm definitely feeling it this morning. Knowing myself and my body, I'm going to shoot for twice per week to start; depending on how long this feeling lasts, I might even wait until Friday or so to allow myself to recover (after such a long layoff).
11/16: 219.8 (+0.6)/28.9 (+0.1). I think this is more due to weighing in earlier during the work week than I do on the weekend. I'm not feeling super-sore today; I may try exercising again today.
11/17: 218.4 (-1.4)/28.6 (-0.3). This is a nice drop. I've been REALLY good with my diet. Last night I was pretty sore from working out recently, but I MIGHT try to exercise again tonight. No matter what, I'll get some exercise in either tonight or tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well (or at least okay).

Goals for this round:
- Lose 1.5 lbs
- Run/walk my evening walk with the dog to work up to a 5K by Thanksgiving
- Start a body weight strength training program 3x a week
11/13 - 140.2 - Slight increase from the end of last round, but not surprising given my recent drops. Feeling very tired today too, so I cut my morning workout down.
Turkey Trot 5K - I tried to run the 1.6 mile route last night, but the doggie didn’t want to come with me! She was more interested in sniffing and I had to cajole her the whole way. This might require a new plan. 😂
11/14 - 140.4 - One of the things I love about this group (on top of the awesome support and accountability) is having all these notes for reference. I had a super hungry day yesterday - ate all my planned calories, within my usual macros and was still so hungry. So I looked back at my notes from previous rounds - and the same thing happened almost exactly a month ago right before my TOM. That let me relax about it, and warned me that my weight probably was going to hold today and go up for the next few days. But it’s just hormones/water retention and it will be back down again soon.
Turkey Trot 5K - 1.5 mile walk last night. Will try to do a 1.5 mile walk with the dog tonight, then drop her off and run the route a second time.
11/15 - 140.8 - The scale is what it is this morning. Was high on calories yesterday (1,800 instead of 1,600) - just kept snacking - but I did get two good workouts in so I feel less guilty about it. Thought I’d take it easy today, but then DH proposed taking the kids on a hike - so I got in a 3 mile hike (which involved either pushing a 30 lb toddler in a stroller, controlling a 50+ lb dog who did NOT want to heel, or carrying said 30 lb toddler when he refused to go back in the stroller after he got the taste of freedom.) So much for a rest day!
Turkey Trot 5K - Did 2.57 miles last night - walked the first 1.57 with the dog, then ran another mile. Just wasn’t quite feeling up to doing the full 1.57 running, but I’ll get there.
11/16 - 141.4 - Ok, the scale can go back down any time now. 😣 Even knowing the “why” doesn’t make it easy to see that number in the morning. Not feeling great today so I only did about 45 minutes of cardio this morning. Will have to try and do the strength exercises throughout the day.
Turkey Trot 5K - Walked 1.57 miles yesterday.
11/17 - 140.6 - Ok, right direction! Let’s just keep that up. Focusing now on my daughter’s birthday on Friday - she’s been so excited about turning 5 and I want to do everything I can to make it special even without her friends coming over for a party. Planning on special meals, a balloon garland, a FaceTime tea party with grandparents and a “kitty” cake!
Turkey Trot 5K - Walked 2 miles last night - will attempt to walk and run again tonight, though it’s rainy now.

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
November focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 132- Stabilise weight under 150
- 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!
Recent 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 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2020
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

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.

70 year 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. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle. Getting back to it slowly.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

I have just not been focused enough over the last month. Weight up and down and no net loss. This round will be better.
OSW 88KG
RSW 63.35 kg
Target this round to lose anything
11/13 62.75kg which is much better than the random gains at the end of last round. Now to manage the weekend.
11/14 61.95kg it looks like the loss has finally caught up with me! Mindful, mindful, mindful. Its only 2 days in the weekend and I used to lose most at weekends.
11/15 62.35kg no problem. I know where is came from!
11/16 63.75kg hoping a temporary salty blip. Better than last Monday which is okay.
11/17 63.1kg still better than last week. Gym done and aerobics later... Hope that doesn't cause crazy weight gain like last week.
11/18 62.25kg. Everything seems to be coming together. Aerobics was crazy last night but I did it and was back in the gym at 5am.

I’m a bit late to this challenge but there’s no time like the present to refocus and try (again) to get rid of my excess lbs. I’ve been in these challenges before and I know they work as a motivator. Slow and steady will be my mantra.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/13 181.0 I was afraid the Prednisone might have negated the good I did yesterday. So far it hasn't. Ate well on plan yesterday. I'm finding the more of just natural "whole foods" are a part of my day, the better off I am.
11/14 180.0 The extra movement from training for the Turkey Trot is really helping move me in the right direction and also to change my mindset. Thank you to those of you who are participating with me. I needed some camaraderie in this. Food choices were on point yesterday. Now to hold that trend for the weekend.
11/15 180.4 This must be sore muscles from yesterday’s push to 5K because I ate well within range. Probably didn’t drink enough water after though, so that could play in too. I was really hoping it would be into the 170s, but maybe tomorrow. Need to meal plan today and get to the grocery store and also get in another walk. I can’t tell you how much better I’m feeling now that I am active every day again. I think I’m working through (and past) some of the 2020 depression that made me into a couch potato.
11/16 180.8 I really think this must be the Prednisone I’m on. Food and exercise has been great. Might try to really push the water today and see if that has any effect (or will it just make the Prednisone make me hold even more water?) Who knows? Only 2 more days on this steroid pack, so hopefully the effects will get on out of here soon.
11/17 179.4 Yay! Finally back in the right direction. I’m pretty proud that I didn’t give up when the trend was going the right direction. I knew it was just my body being weird, either on its own or with the Prednisone. I kept doing what I know works, and it finally did! Now, can I stay here and end the round in the 170s? Time will tell.
11/18 178.8 Feels good to be making progress again. I’m still on the Prednisone for one more day, so I’ll call this a win! Holiday cooking is beginning though. I really want to limit my intake and control the damage. Feels so good to be making positive progress again after the craziness of 2020. I do NOT want to go back to old habits!

11/13 Got in two walks at just normal pace. I had one knee which was really bothering me, so I didn't push the pace.
11/14 Did 1.74 mi in 30:28 but I had the dog with me. She slows me down. Then got on my exercise bike last night before bed for 7.56 miles in 32:24.Hoping to look for a 5K path at a park this morning. Will be pushing the stroller, but I can still measure. I know how I can do it in my neighborhood, but it would be fun to go elsewhere for the real deal.
11/15 Did my first 5K in a while yesterday. (Sorry the pic I posted last night was so HUGE. Won't be doing that again.)
Figured out a nice route by the lake and really pushed it. My time was 51:22 with an average pace of 16:33, so I’m really pretty pleased with that. I was alone, so I was able to really get into it and it felt fantastic!
11/16 Got in 3.2 miles yesterday but wasn't worried about pace. Had Hubby and the Pup with me for most of if. Another beautiful fall morning here in Tennessee.
11/17 Did a fast-ish (but with a stroller) walk yesterday of 2.75 miles. It’s amazing how heavy a baby in a stroller can feel going up hills!
11/18 Only did a 1.2 mile walk at work yesterday. Probably needed a mild day though, as my knee was a bit sore.
Total toward 100 mile goal by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 11.99

Day/Weight/Comment
11/13-123.4 When I first lost weight last year, these 10 day challenges were the source of my success. I am committing to weigh everyday and complete my food diary daily. Starting on the weekend will be challenging, compounded if restrictions start up again. Planning pickleball indoors today, too cold for outside. Bad start missing my body pump class this morning, will try to do this afternoon. Good Luck everyone, and stay healthy.
11/14- 125.4- Knew this would happen  Went out to lunch with my wonderful friends and pickleball buddies, had the most delicious salad: Wilted Kale with roasted butternut squash, cashews, lemon Tahini dressing. Totally awesome! Had to guess the calorie, and Ham sure was full of sodium. Usually takes me several days to equalize. Oh I forgot a Bloody Mary too! I knew too expect this, but still hate going backwards. Bad migraine this morning waiting for medicine to kick in then hope to do Body Pump and stretching and some kind of Trot.
11/15- 125.4 I know, I know, I know it will take 3-4 days to equalize my bloat from lunch Friday but I does play with your mind. Hubby wanted to grab takeout last night, but I decided against it because did not want to bloat even more. Thanks to the Turkey Trot Challenge I did do a over 4 mile walk- we lost our dog in September who inspired me to walk everyday, so miss her but felt great to be outside. Ate above my calories yesterday, wanted to grab a leftover halloween can and my husband and daughter had raided supply and left me with only 10000 mini bars yuck- still ate 6- So should be relieved I stayed the same.
11/16
11/17 125.2- Thrown off course Sunday and Monday- My father-in- passed away. Thanks goodness peacefully at home He did not have Covid but because of Covid we can not travel to the funeral.
11/18-124.8 This is one of those screwball weeks with an odd schedule and unusual events that challenge anyone and especially if you are on a diet. One of our downtown restaurants - one of many suffering across the US, was being highlighted by the press trying to save our DT- my daughter performs there so we were invited for the news pictures. They served us free(not calorie free!) delicious food! same place I went for the great salad friday. My daughter performed beautifully, I not so much. Did play 2 hours of pickleball and 30 minutes of Eccentric stretching. Looks like some of weekend bloat is leaving but won't leave to fast since I keep eating out.

11/17 - 144.5 - Two words can explain this...pecan pie. My husband brought one home Friday night and I had a couple pieces over the weekend. It's not unusual for my weekend food to show up on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll have to watch my calories the next couple days and drink plenty of water.
11/18 - 143.5 - That's better. I just need to stay on track this week.

Next overall goal is to get to 137.6, which is what I weighed 10/2/19. I think these smaller attainable goals are really helping.
Continuing with this plan for round 132: continue with daily tracking, staying under goal calories, and minimum of 20 min formal exercise/day (all from UAC challenge). I am also trying to do 90 minutes of planks, and 24 hours of formal exercise this November (24 hour and 60 minute plank challenges).
Previous goals: get under 150; get under 145 for my birthday (10/26); get to pre-COVID weight 142.4, get under 140 before thanksgiving.

Round 131: -2.8
Round 132 – starting weight 139.4
11/13 – 138.8 Another down. This is all good but not certain why I am losing more consistently than in early October. Exercise averages out the same and I am using the same goal calories to stay under. The only ideas I am having is that could I somehow be changing my base metabolism? I’m not sure how that works. Anyhow, I’ll take it while I can and I keep bracing myself for a plateau or a take back from my losses.
11/14 – 139.2 Given I had no ups the whole last round, I am almost relieved to see this. All good!
11/15 – 139.0 Got in another walk yesterday. Started by walking the route I mentioned last round, the night that I walked and jogged, so I now know its mileage correctly and have updated my other file where I keep all my exercise for the month. I then continued on for two more loops within my neighborhood (see below). Pace was not great, but I managed to multitask and caught up with my parents on the phone. I’ll just consider it more of a distance day. Next experiment is to figure out the difference in milage if I walk the inner sidewalk vs the outer sidewalk in the "loop". Yesterday was inner and the milage was less than I recalled from when I measured a couple years ago, so curious if the "old" number is the outer sidewalk.
11/16 – 138.6 Last night, I pushed for a walk/jog of the 5K. I liked that I improved, but this morning I have left hip and right knee pain, so I am not doing something right. I only plan to attempt the walk/jog once a week anyhow, so we’ll see how it calms down.
11/17 – 138.8 Scale this round is much more typical.
Tracking and keeping under my calories continues to be good. Yesterday, just did basic walk to loosen up the stiff joints after the previous night’s “wog”.
11/18 – 138.4 Past two days, I have spent a bunch of time planning and tracking. DD is asking that I quarantine as many days as possible prior to Thanksgiving (I am the comparative risk to them as they quarantine just about 24/7). Then 2 days after Thanksgiving DH and I have to travel to a seasonal home to oversee the repairs that have been doing on in our absence. When we get back, we will be quarantining again. Anyhow, I have pre-tracked and purchased the groceries for every dinner from now through the day before Thanksgiving (thanksgiving and day after will not be tracked – but will still make best effort – and then I have to be flexible on the travel day), and then I also have pre-tracked the 4 days after we return. The few fresh produce items I will need this next week can be done via pickup or delivery, and my 4 day post travel days will receive a produce delivery and then more extensive groceries as well. COVID tests are being planned for days 1 and then test again on day 4 or 5. I will then be needing to start quarantining for X-mas again, right away. Trying hard to maintain focus on general health, accomplish what needs to be accomplished in the real world, and keep healthy and safe for the sake of myself, my children and grandson, my parents, and MIL.
