Goal for round 133 will be little different from the proceeding because it has some more challenging days in it; Thanksgiving, day after leftovers, 2 travel days. We are traveling but not “for” Thanksgiving. We need to check on a costly property repair and trying to squeeze the travel between two holiday quarantines. In the process, I have pre-tracked until Thanksgiving (current quarantine), and then pre-tracked and purchased all non-perishables for 4 days to start return quarantine, during which I’ll arrange for grocery delivery and post travel COVID testing on day 4 or 5. Then I’ll have two days to shop outside the house before quarantining again so I can see my grandson a little for his first Xmas. That’s the plan but we know is 2020, anything can change. So anyhow….. goal is to complete round 133 with no gain (ie staying at 137.2, or below).
On another note, I am entering an official virtual 5K, the Feaster Five. So I have to walk/run, document and then submit my time sometime this week. I am currently eyeing Tuesday evening.
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, get to 137.6 (weight on 10/2/19).

Round 133 – starting weight 137.2
11/23 – 137.2 Seems like the number is real (ie 3 out of 4 days in a row). Today is an indoor exercise day since, out my window, it looks like Noah should be building another ark. At least the cats are not demanding their walk.
11/24 – 136.8 Knee and elbows are acting up. I am wondering if my zealous approach towards the 5K and planking is faster than those joints can handle. Plan is/was to walk/jog the Feaster Five virtual 5K this evening. We’ll see how the knees are feeling. I do have other days to accomplish this, but am really hoping that it works out today.
11/25 – 137.8 Ouch, big up. I assume it is a temporary false gain since I have been 137.4 for past 5 days. I would try and blame the macros of last night’s dinner, but I made that same dinner last week for the first time and had a loss the day after. The only other anomaly yesterday was that I completed the Feaster Five Virtual 5K that I entered over the weekend. That was more running than I have done in years. As I mentioned in my 5K blurb last night, I had not run that much since being on the boys track team in 1977 when there was no girls team. I am wondering if that exertion is causing some fluid retention. Either way, it will work out. On another note, working on travel scale correlation in prep for next week and I know it can be wonky. (Home: 137.8 Travel 137.8 – shocking it matched THIS time).
11/26 – 137.0 Thanksgiving – Because I am delivering a separate whole T-day meal to my parents, the majority of my cooking (for both our and their meals) was yesterday. Did my best to account for all those “spoon licks”. What got tracked implies I ate low, but my lack of hunger makes me think I somehow neglected to track things. I just don’t know what. Today, my approach is to eat thoughtfully. Tracking of today’s food is close to impossible with any accuracy, but will see how it goes. I guess I could track portions of “generic” value and accept that that is better than not tracking at all. Other option is to go the “single” dinner plate method ie no weighing, no measuring, but only one plate like one would receive in a restaurant. (Home: 137.0 Travel: 136.2 – maybe I won’t try to pack it…..)
11/27 – 137.4 Wow! What a gift. Something more to be thankful for. The route I went with for yesterday is I pre-tracked quantities, 5 chips, dip, 1 oz salami, 4 oz turkey, ½ cup of each side except ¼ cup of the cranberry sauce. One slice pie, 2 TB whipped cream and my standard coffee. I evaluated and selected what I thought were best matches from the database. The amount was actually perfect! I was going to be under 2000 for the day, with that plan. Then, my son surprised us with cocktails and given there were so few of us to support his effort, I chose to have one – 280 more calories added to the tracker. Had stayed under 1340 calories a day (not net, but consumed) since 10/1/20, and was over by 800+ yesterday. The +.4 was totally worth finally sharing a celebratory day with DH, DS, DD, SIL, DGS. Wish it could have been the regular crowd, and wish my parents felt safe enough to join up. Here’s to t-day 2021. Today’s plan, cautious eating of leftovers, try to fit in a real walk, pack for poorly timed essential travel tomorrow, clean up from t-day and clean house in preparation of son moving in to take care of cats while we are away. Lots to do. Gave up on the travel scale. There are only 3 days I will not have access to a scale, so I am just going to focus on and trust my tracking.
11/28 – 136.2 Happy surprise. Yesterday, I did have leftovers but I pre-tracked the portions throughout the day; pie for breakfast; green casserole and mashed pots for lunch; turkey, gravy, stuffing and more mashed for dinner. Did a walk by pushing my cats in their stroller and cleaned & packed all day. Today is a unique challenge. Flight travel day not FOR Thanksgiving but despite T-day. Need to get to our property that is undergoing major repairs. I have not been there since April. Got my airport/plane safety plan in place. Goal is to stay healthy and keep everyone else healthy as well.
11/29 – DNW - Yesterday was travel. Planned out what I was going to eat and planned in ways to exercise. After the wonky scale results above, I decided to not pack it, but given I went to bed hungry and woke up hungry I doubt it’s an issue. Tomorrow I will have access to my Florida scale that is same make and model as home and will have 11 days in a row using that scale before heading north again. Here’s to hoping the cats are happy my son moved in to take care of them.
11/30 – 135.4 (Florida scale) First time weighing on this scale since April. My estimation is that it is not weighing high and at worst maybe a little low? Could even be accurate, but will know more when I return north in 2 weeks. At the same time, the loss is possible if based on my hunger. Past two days, travel days, I have not exceeded the 1340 calories that I began with on Sept 14th but I have been beyond hungry. So is this loss real? Have pre-planned and tracked my meals for the next 3 days and heading to the grocery store in 5 minutes. Glad to have access to my own kitchen again, even today is cleaning of construction/repair dust and replacing all my dishes, glassware and other breakables that had to be packed up last April (jack hammers can shake a building pretty badly). Still long way before repair is done, and glad we are checking for problems.
12/1 – 135.6 (Florida scale) Tiny bit up so I am thinking the number is reasonably legit. Did another MFP check-in. Last one was Nov 22. Today I already headed out and did a 3.3 mile walk/run. Felt good to get out there. I was lucky though that the temp was “low” at 68 degrees. I am not a heat person so exercise in the Keys will be interesting. Need to establish my goals for December/Give me 10 Days round 134. Lots to figure out and put in writing today, Dec 1.
12/2 –
11/22 – 50 minutes cycle in two stints. Chose that because was more time efficient for the day.
11/23 – 35 min cycle. Knees are a bit off this morning. Hoping they loosen up/calm down during the day.
11/24 – virtual Feaster Five, 5K - my inaugural 5K, 00:34:54, 11’14” pace, avg HR 162 BPM, finished off with a 5:37 cool down 12’49” for .44 miles, during which I searched for my missing glove.
11/25 – lazy day - 35 minutes indoor cycle to loosen up my muscles.
11/26 – Thanksgiving – I at least got on the bike for 20 minutes, my minimum required from the UAC group that I am also in.
11/27 – Killed two bird with one stone, instead of my solo walk followed by taking cats out on the leashes, I did a 45 minute walk pushing them in their stroller.
11/28 – Flight travel day – to not forfeit my UAC challenge I got on the indoor bike for 20 minutes (my daily minimum), but then at the airport I took a long 30 min double walk through the terminal for 1.53 miles. Not a 5K, but keeping the moving and attitude alive!
11/29 – Drive travel day – was heading out to walk and 81 year old MIL asked to join me. Pace and distance were a little off but nice to have her company - 0:32:26 neighborhood walk with MIL, 24’49” pace for 1.30 miles, avg HR 95 BPM
11/30 – 0:38:39 Neighborhood walk with Hubby, 22’44” pace for 1.7 miles, avg HR 94 BPM – really need to get out and do some real walking/running

Day/Weight/Comment
11/23 194.0 Not surprised had beef ribs last night. I was mindful about everything else I ate for the day. So It shouldn’t be I huge increase. I’ll take this. I am going to be very mindful all week.
11/24 193.5 14041 1964 calories. I am trying to be mindful. Eat lots of fruit and veggies. 2 eggs, 1 sausage link and an avocado for breakfast.
11/25 193.3 11759 steps 1874 calories. I had chicken salad last night with my babies. Light breakfast today. Having apple pie tonight is a tradition with my foster sister.
11/26 194.7 There is apple pie. Yesterday 11956 steps 2365 calories no hugs required.
11/27 195.8 I woke up this morning saying please don’t let it go over 196. I kept my portions small. Waited 10 minutes before I went back for more and small portions. Sweet potato pie. 9788 steps and1768 calories. Not bad. Plus I worked out last night for 15 minutes.
11/28 195.7 Finished the pie, don't want it in the house. Drank lots of water. Plenty of leftovers.
11/29 193.7 A drop back down to where I was approximately. Yesterday was a bit lazy only 7300 steps but today I made my attempt at the Turkey Trot. 2.93 miles average pace 19’20” 56 minutes. Saturday I had no leftovers. I ate tuna avocado salad and Sunday I had leftovers for breakfast.
11/30 193.8
12/01 194.7 I am very sore today. I haven’t done anything like the turkey troy attempt since late September. I ate lots of salty fries yesterday. It’s my own fault. Hopefully I can be under 193 by tomorrow. My November goal was 192.5 by December 1st and I did not make it. It’s okay. It is time to make a realistic goal for New Years Day. 189.9 is a reasonable to me. 194.7 to 189.9 is a difference of 4.8 pounds. I have got to keep my eye on the prize.(TOM is coming so I expect a drop in the 24 to 48 hours.)

Okay, back on track today after a little food tantrum yesterday over not losing in R132 despite fewer calories & more exercise. 😁 Hitting the good protein, veggies, fats now through Wed., enjoying TG, then back on track. It’s cold today and there’s still snow on the ground from yesterday, but I’ll get out this afternoon for a couple of miles. I’m thinking of making a pot of minestrone. Mmmmmmm. Comfort soup!
11/24 - 183 - 1311 - 5.5 miles
Aww, come on. Very discouraging. My average calories have been below maintenance for two weeks, macros P20, F40, C40 (mostly veggies, legumes, & whole grains), exercise increased, and I’m not snacking like I was. I even reset my scale in case it was stuck in some sort of loop. I don’t believe in very restrictive, unsustainable diets but I’m thinking of going back to the elimination diet I was prescribed for inflammation a couple years ago. It melted 20 pounds off in no time (but I gained it back plus more in the next 18 months). No walk today — sleet and wind — but I’ll try to do something. Maybe clean the house? Nah!
11/25 - 182.8 - 1591
I had a long think last night about my “struggle” and I’ve decided to take a different approach. Rather than worrying about timed weight-loss goals and calories cutting, I’m going to aim to keep my calorie average about 100 below my estimated maintenance level based on SailRabbit TDEE, MFP’s maintenance number, and my own experience (which I plan to chart in detail today or tomorrow). I’m aiming for more protein, esp. fish, few to no refined carbs, and healthy fats, and only occasional, planned snacking — say, pumpkin pie tomorrow night! I’m also aiming for more movement, including walks and starting to jog, but realistically I’m not likely to do a lot of that in the northern Indiana winter and I’m going nowhere near the gym, so I’ll do what I can. I really might have to do more housework! But as I said yesterday, nah! Ok, tmi as usual. American friends, be safe this holiday.
11/26 - 182.8 - 1441
Happy Thanksgiving!
11/27 - 183.4 - 1916
No surprise there. Leftovers today, and I’m just going to enjoy them, though I’m subbing steamed broccoli for stuffing and having a small piece of pumpkin pie instead of the “healthy” (meaning “not so much”!) piece of pecan pie I had yesterday. My 3.5 mile walk didn’t burn that baby up! I have half the round left to balance things with non-holiday fare. I’m going to try for a walk today, but it’s cold and damp out and I’ve become a serious weather weenie after living on the southern coast of NC for 10 years! We’ll see. I hope those of you who celebrate TG had a lovely day yesterday. Be safe, everyone.
11/28 - 183.4 - 1926
Yep, leftovers. But I started this morning with a high-protein breakfast and have the rest of the day planned for “regular” calories, lots of water, and a walk, even if short. All good. Happy Saturday!
11/29 - 183 - 1771
Still ate too much yesterday — fell off my plan — and I’m feeling overstuffed this morning. Ugh. But I walked about 3.5 miles and plan to get out today. We have snow & ice probably headed our way tonight, which may stifle my walking a bit. It’s sunny if cold now — birds and chipmunks very busy this morning. Mike the cat is running from window to window, so at least someone is exercising!
11/30 - 183 - 1862
Aaack! Too much food. I blame the carbs breakfast, which left me “mouth hungry” all day and I ended up snacking. I got a walk in, but won’t today as we have “wintry mix” falling and it’s slick out there.
12/1 - 183.2 - 997
I didn’t try for such low calories, but had a nutrient-dense lunch and an apple for dinner and some popcorn later and felt very satisfied. It’s hard to convince DH, but I’m trying to switch my habits to a bigger, high-protein, lower-carb breakfast, and smaller or no lunch or dinner, depending on how I feel. Today looks a bit better weather wise, so I’m planning a nice walk. Maybe I can at least finish the round not higher!

Hi, I’m Karen, in my 50’s
OSW Sept.2018 187
I have been so busy, and had allergies, thinking I was getting sick....but just allergies, so I have not been exercising.
I am very glad to be here with all of your familiar, darling faces!
11/24-166
11/25-167-Hmmmm
11/26-164-I was bloated the day before. Ate a heavy lunch and had soup for dinner. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
11/27-166-Better than I thought it would be!
11/30-167-The dogs are getting the rest of the stuffing, potatoes and gravy. Glad it’s Monday, that makes it easier to get back on the wagon!!
12/1-167-Fine with me; I rode my bike 10 miles and was glad I did. No cheese and crackers while I made dinner=a win!5 -
@CamandJarvis - Hugs and prayers to you for your Godson. 🙏💚4

Round 133
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
11/23: 211.4 / expected salt bump this morning.
11/24: 210.4 /
11/25: 210.8 / Minor miracle that this is not higher after a retirement reception yesterday for a good friend. Lot’s of goodies.
11/26: Thanksgiving / DNW
11/27: 214
11/28: DNW
11/29: DNW
11/30: 212.4
12/01: 212.4 / Lots of family time over the holiday weekend. When I am involved in a ten day challenge like this, I sense how much our family celebrations center around food. I have a pretty good relationship with extended family, but I wonder how good it would be if we didn’t have our common love of food. HA! And there is always a lot of special indulgence, like pie, ice cream, chips, cookies and “seconds.”

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
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.
**Comments apply to previous day**
SW Rnd 133 117.5
11/23 117.0 New restrictions start just after midnight tonight. Welcome to California Junior. The governor has effectively cancelled Thanksgiving gatherings for all. I had previously cancelled (last week) the one we were planning and my menu keeps shrinking!
11/24 118.0 I know why. Need to take something!
11/25 117.5 Bathroom success after weighing. YAY!! DH baked cookies last night (for DGD#3 and DSIL) today I’ll be baking pies for DGD#4 and DGSs#2&3. DD will pick those up along with silly place card holders I made this afternoon. Also keto friendly desserts for us.
11/26 117.5 Happy Thanksgiving to the citizens of the USA! EVERYONE have a BLESSED DAY!
11/27 119.5 Aaah, Thanksgiving. Totally expected-had small amounts of sweet potato and mashed potato, 3 small homemade dinner rolls, and lots of eggnog! Really, most of the foods we enjoy regularly. Dinner rolls and mashed potatoes as well as eggnog are the culprits! LOL I didn’t even taste the keto pumpkin pie I made. I was NOT stuffed but I was FULL. All things considered, a great day. I just wish we had been able to join family!
11/28 120.0 Expected. This should be going down tomorrow. I plan to get my lazy butt out of the chair for “Kick 2020 to the Curb” AF
11/29 120.5 Hmmm It’s okay. This is actually the typical high carb 3# gain. Eight months ago (on 3/16, the day before Nevada was shutdown) I was 121.0. I now know how even a lower carb (not keto) Thanksgiving will affect me. Today my gal pals and I are having a virtual sew day through Google meet up.
Yesterday I went over the Garmin’s step goal. YAY!
11/30 120.5 What a great day yesterday hanging out virtually with my sewing buds - about 7 hours!! I made and ate chicken jalapeño popper soup - YUM!
12/1 118.0 My BFF is coming today and we’re going to lunch. At least that’s the plan. Hard to say where since restaurants are pretty much closed.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/22 …..208.1….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/23 …..207.2…..Traveling today for a new hot water heater. The one in the house only lasts about 2 minutes. Very deceiving because it actually looks brand new, even all the stickers on it. Looked up the model and serial number and it’s 31 years old! Wow, they really dusted and kept everything looking good but….. Well anyway, probably some fast food out which is always a treat since we always have little to nothing in this small town for restaurants, even pre-covid. I will try to be mindful.
11/24 …..207.2 ….. Grateful for no gain after an all day travel until after dark. Made the best choices I could. I think the lack of my usual travel gain was because of hard work when I got home. Still unpacking 22 years of home and business. Nothing here has been ready to accept my stuff. All the shelves need re-lining in the kitchens and 3 bathrooms. Tons of workers and friends in each day to help with all the mechanicals. Today I hope the new hot water heater will go in. Also the new wireless router for upstairs. Can I hope that 4 deadbolt/doorlocks will be done and old locks added to chosen interior doors? A busy day planned. I also hope to catch up on all the posts from the last round when my internet was not working. Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes.
11/25 …..206.2 ….. Not the best diet but plenty of work and movement. Grateful for the drop. Hot water in and leaking like hell. Not sure when he will be back because of the Thanksgiving holiday. My house looks like a war zone. I will try to pull off a clean kitchen table and a small Thanksgiving dinner just for my son & I tomorrow. Our standard large family dinner has been cancelled (or postponed) because of Covid restrictions in Michigan. So busy anyway. I’ve got to pull this together before Christmas!
11/26 …..206..6 ….. Hmph! Thanksgiving today. Tomorrow won’t be pretty but my son and I do have much to be grateful for this year.
11/27 …..207.6 ….. Not too bad of a post Thanksgiving weight. The immediate problem will be the leftovers. I know I’m not alone in this. I’ll try to keep things under control.
11/28 …..206.4 ….. Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!! I am DETERMINED not to let Thanksgiving be the start of a DISASTEROUS NIGHTMARE of weight gain THIS YEAR like it has been in the past. I am so happy that I am going to try to do the happy dance amid all these boxes still unpacked. Cheshire Cat smile here folks.
11/29 …..xxxxx ….. I can’t believe I forgot to weigh in today. A little busy maybe with this move? Today was a birthday party for my DGS that turned 3. My daughter had 2 hour birthday appointments one family at a time to bring gifts, have a wonderful lunch and cake & icecream. So sad we couldn’t all be together at the same time, but, hey, he got lots of company all day long and plenty of well-wishes, presents and fun!
11/30 …..207.2 ….. Is this the after-shock weight of Thanksgiving or that late night meal that could have been smaller last night? I hate the way the cravings sneak up on you after a day of full meals (especially holiday meals.) I will push through it today. I have a low calorie/low carb day planned.
12/01 …..207.7 ….. Day 2 of no TMI. Have to get this back in the right direction!
12/02 …..xxxxx …..
My goal is to Dance for 20 minutes per day to increase my calorie burn.

@_JeffreyD_ Whenever people gather there is FOOD! LOL In my little sewing group (4-6 ladies) we bring our own lunch. I even did this last winter in a group of about 100 where lunch was provided. I eat low carb and so many people DON’T understand what and where carbs are. After almost 3 1/2 years and being 20# below my initial goal, people can stare or criticize but I don’t plan to go back.4

He turned 2 on June 18th so juuuuust shy of 2.5 years.
Also, apparently he tested positive for COVID as well as for the antibodies. His chest xray looked phenomenal and has zero symptoms so they retested to see if it was a false positive. Even doctors were really confused on that. Not sure what will happen or if this is a trial run of transplant now. If he is truly positive, they'll go home and we all quarantine, no transplant. If not, I'm not sure if liver still viable by the time everything is ready to go. We will have to wait and see, I suppose. I'm so nervous for my little man
Thanks everyone for prayers/well wishes/healing thoughts. You have no idea how much it means to all of us5 -

3 days after the official call to be on the transplant list, this evening Fam got the call: they have a liver for littleman. They're about halfway to the hospital and will be there likely until after the new year.
We were told 3-6mo on average. It took 3 days. We are all freaked out from the suddenness. The unexpected. The nerves are real. I'll give updates as we go. What I know now: surgery will be tonight most likely. After surgery, he will be in NICU (average is about 8 days). From there, they stay in the area for minimum 30 days after release from NICU to monitor as he heals.
Sending good thoughts to your grandson and family.3 -

We were told 3-6mo on average. It took 3 days. We are all freaked out from the suddenness. The unexpected. The nerves are real. I'll give updates as we go. What I know now: surgery will be tonight most likely. After surgery, he will be in NICU (average is about 8 days). From there, they stay in the area for minimum 30 days after release from NICU to monitor as he heals.
Wow !! So pleased that he has a liver lined up, sending every positive vibe, good wishes and everything I can to help your Godson and family. Having been through this with my 6 month old DGS just exactly 4 months ago today I know what the road ahead holds for you and all emotions & thoughts going through all your heads, be prepared for him to be in surgery at least 10 hours, there is a lot of micro-surgery involved and then ICU for a while before you hear how he is. So looking forward to hearing how he is progressing, xxxx.

He turned 2 on June 18th so juuuuust shy of 2.5 years.
Also, apparently he tested positive for COVID as well as for the antibodies. His chest xray looked phenomenal and has zero symptoms so they retested to see if it was a false positive. Even doctors were really confused on that. Not sure what will happen or if this is a trial run of transplant now. If he is truly positive, they'll go home and we all quarantine, no transplant. If not, I'm not sure if liver still viable by the time everything is ready to go. We will have to wait and see, I suppose. I'm so nervous for my little man
Thanks everyone for prayers/well wishes/healing thoughts. You have no idea how much it means to all of us
Fingers crossed the positive COVID test is an error. Crazy that this is out of the blue and that no one has been sick.

Challenge for this round (again) will be to get back into 132s. Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
11/23 DNW – spent last night at MIL's caring for her
11/24 134 – no exercise yesterday, MIL successfully transferred to a nearby care home, sadly due to Covid no-one can visit for 14 days – she's in isolation and as she is practically stone deaf phone calls are "challenging" - she refuses to wear hearing aids! Now the process of clearing her bungalow starts. 114 calories in credit.
11/25 134 – 11.31 miles walked yesterday, incorporated a walk/jog from week 2 of C 2 5K, took me 49.09 minutes, I'll do the same today. 700 calories in credit. And the drama continues !! MIL taken to A&E last night with suspected sepsis, they have admitted her, waiting to find out how she is & whether as she's non covid we can visit, I doubt it, but we need to ask.
11/26 133.4 – was hoping the gain from a week without exercise and eating of plan would drop quickly! 10.92 miles walked yesterday including walking and jogging 5K in 48.02 mins (and in the rain too!), today I plan on doing day 1 of week 3 of C25K. 909 calories in credit.
11/27 133.4 – 10.05 miles walked yesterday including completing my 5K yesterday morning in 48.58. When does it become enjoyable to run? I find it such a chore!!! 710 calories in credit. MIL not got sepsis, but a particularly nasty and severe UTI, hopefully only in hospital for a few days, we can't visit due to covid restrictions!!
11/28 134 – 10.64 miles walked yesterday including day 3 of week3 C25K in 49.38 mins, I know I did my Turkey Trot yesterday, but if we're doing a kick 2020 to the curb then I need to keep jogging/walking! 259 calories in credit, gammon yesterday – high sodium?
11/29 134 – 6.58 miles walked yesterday, calories 170 over. MIL discharged from hospital to the care home, restarts her 14 day isolation again.
11/30 133.8 – 4.06 miles walked yesterday, started clearing MIL's bungalow – so much stuff; she's a hoarder! I'm going to continue to work through C25K and hope to improve on my time.
12/01 133.4 - 7.42 miles walked yesterday. 514 calories in credit.
12/02
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – we're all in this together!

Update: Getting sent home
Second COVID test came back positive (as well as antibodies - really baffling us all). No transplant this time. Back on the list and back to waiting. Hopefully the COVID thing is just a fluke of sorts that they're being cautious about. Nobody feeling ill, no signs of even a small cold for anyone. Crossing fingers it isn't pre-symptom positive testing and that nothing comes of it.
Here's to waiting for round 2 which we will hopefully be better prepared for when the time comes. Thank you all 11 -

Oh my goodness, what a roller coaster the process is, so hoping the outcome is good, that no Covid symptoms develop and that another liver becomes available as soon as the quarantine period ends; it would be the best Christmas gift ever xx.5 -

Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)

Round 131 (6): 144.4 to 139.6 (-4.8 lbs)
Round 132 (7): 139.6 to 138.8 (-0.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Maintain weight at 138-139.
- Run/walk my evening walk with the dog to work up to a 5K by Thanksgiving
11/23 - 139.4 - Not the start I wanted, but I’m feeling really bloated today so that might be part of it. I’m also really annoyed that after updating my phone last night, it appears to no longer be receiving workout and step information from my Apple Watch. I hope I can figure it out soon - in the meantime I can enter the workouts manually and change MyFitnessPal to get my steps from Pacer rather than Apple Fitness. Still frustrating though!
11/24 - 138.8 - I switched HappyScale to maintenance mode this morning. It was really bothering me to see the trend line numbers getting smaller and the next goal weight staring at me every time I opened it. Focusing on maintenance for awhile is going to involve a mental shift - but since I haven’t changed my calories or exercise habits, having the scale stall is... frustrating.
11/25 - 138.6 - The Thanksgiving cooking has officially started! I made the gravy and the cranberry cheesecake last night and will do the apple pie and the sweet potatoes today. I hope I haven’t been getting too many extra calories from the tasting and checking as I cook. 😂. I had two fun NSVs yesterday - first, I beat the final boss on my Ring Fit Adventure game! It’s pretty cool to see how many hundreds of squats and arm presses and other exercises I’ve done over the past 2.5 months I played. It’s got a new game plus that I will check out starting tomorrow. The second - my wedding/engagement ring fit again! I had to take it off during my pregnancy and never could get it on again. I kept meaning to get it resized, but.... pandemic. I decided to try it again yesterday, and it fits comfortably! So happy!
11/26 - 138.0 - Well, that’s a nice drop - but it’s not likely to stick given today’s menu. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans in the group - I hope you have a wonderful day remembering all you have to be thankful for. I’m certainly thankful for this group and the amazing support it’s given over the past few months!
11/27 - 138.2 - I would have been happy with anything under 140, so this is great. I was good about having reasonable portions yesterday, but really only estimated putting things into MyFitnessPal - I wasn’t about to worry about weighing everything this time. And I only had half a slice of cranberry cheesecake (which was still SO DELICIOUS). We did a Zoom get-together with my husband’s family yesterday and will be doing another with my side of the family this morning. We would have loved to have seen family in person, but it was still a lovely Thanksgiving. Now back on the weight-loss track!
11/28 - 137.6 - It’s certainly gratifying to see the scale numbers going down again, especially after such large turkey meals the past two evenings. Tonight I get to make one of my absolute favorite recipes - a turkey cheddar broccoli bake that we had after Thanksgiving every year while I was growing up. I’ll lighten it up a little, and have it over quinoa or brown rice - but mainly I’ll just need to be careful with portions. I just hope my kids love it as much as I do.
11/29 - 137.2 - Returned HappyScale to weight loss, since I’m back on track for the next few weeks. It would be great to lose another 1-2 lbs before Christmas. I did my 5K this morning - wasn’t able to run quite the whole thing so that is the next goal. Hard to believe I’m probably in the best shape I’ve been since my wedding 15 years ago!
11/30 - 137.6 - Exercised a lot yesterday (5K plus a 2.5 mile hike), but I ate more than usual too. We put up our Christmas tree, which meant hot chocolate with marshmallows. I’m not going to skip out on family traditions when I’ve had such good progress over the past few months. Like we always say in here - “it’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle!” I’ll also eat the last little piece of cheesecake for dessert tonight, so that temptation will be gone. I got my meal prep for the week done - more egg muffins and a pumpkin coconut soup. Let’s end this round strong!
12/1 - 138.0 - Not the number I wanted to see, but it’s ok. Any loss this round is a plus, and we’ll see what tomorrow brings.
12/2 -
11/23 - Walked 2 miles yesterday, but at a slow pace (dog wanted to sniff everything. Going to run/walk the full 5K again tonight.
11/24 - Ran 2.6 miles last night at 12:00 min/mile pace. Slow, but that did include stops to let the doggie sniff and poop. 😂
11/25 - Walked 1.57 miles last night
11/26 - Walked/jogged 2 miles with a very reluctant doggie. Going to walk a full 5K tonight to hit my Apple Watch Thanksgiving challenge.
11/27 - Ran/walked 3.25 miles last night - total time of 42 minutes. Would love to do it in under 40 on Sunday (when I won’t have the dog to slow me down and force stops.)
11/28 - Walked 1.5 miles last night and already did a 3 mile walk with the family today. Will probably jog the 1.57 loop tonight.
11/29 - 5K Day! 🦃 I did it! I ran first two miles, then had to walk/run the last one, but my overall time was 37 minutes. Super proud of myself and now want to work up to running the whole thing without stopping. 😊. Guess that will be my “Kick 2020 to the Curb” goal!
11/30 - Rest day to recover from the 5K plus hiking yesterday. New goal is to do a 5K on January 1st - no walking and beat my time from the Turkey Trot!
12/1 - Walked an easy 1.57 miles last night; will try to take the dog on a 2+ mile walk with some jogging tonight.

11/25: 218.0 (-1.0)/28.5 (-0.2). Work was really busy this week, so it's been hard to post. I'm committing to a keto Thanksgiving, including: bringing my own side dish (cauliflower mash) and dessert (something local and keto). I'm also committing to NOT going for leftovers the next day (which my wife always does). We'll see how it goes.

I actually think that I have done pretty well just to stay almost even. I think, if I starve myself tonight (i.e., I stick to my meal plan), that I can even end the challenge with a very minimal loss. Maintainance should have been my goal in the first place. The weekend was pretty rough for me emotionally, even though I feel like a baby for making it such a big deal. I was not invited to my brother's house for Thanksgiving, for the first time ever (it's either at my parents' or my brother's house every year), because of COVID-19 considerations. He invited my parents over (they have regular in-person without-facemask contact with my niece), but I was not included. It just did not feel good. I spent time with my wife's side of the family (all of whom I love very much), but it does not take the sting out of what happened with my brother. I think this may have affected my eating/drinking/well-being a bit during this past week.

Then I read about this, and suddenly me feeling salty about my brother doesn't feel even the slightist bit important. I'm so sorry to hear about your Godson. I will keep him (and you!) in my prayers.4
