    I would rather track these things than do anything about them. 😊

    @_JeffreyD_ Ha! I can identify with that in so many areas!

    12/7: 174.0 Been off MFP for the last few days. Whacked my head pretty hard putting groceries in my car and been avoiding screens & resting as much as possible. Starting to feel a little better.

    12/8: 173.8 Feeling much better today. It's been a week since my last run, really feeling the urge to get out today for a least a short one and see how I feel. I recently bought a duo instapot/air fryer online for my DH as one of his Christmas gifts and it shipped in a box that showed what it was & of course he was home when it arrived. So since the surprise was ruined, we went ahead and opened it, going to try it out tonight, thinking about doing "fried" chicken wings. Anyone have any good cookbook recommendations for air fryers or instapots?

    12/9: 173.6 Decided to give it another day to rest yesterday, so planning a run for my lunch hour today. Ate a little later last night so IF window might be a little less than 16 hours. So much to do, will definitely be a busy one!

    12/10: 173.5 Warming up a bit to the 40's today, so definitely getting out for a run on my lunch hour! And the warmer temps mean I can get the last bit of holiday decorating done and hang the garland on my front door (my command strips won't stick outside when temps are lower). Scale wise my weight is dropping but the progress is sooo sloooow. Since I turned 50 earlier this year, I just can't seem to drop weight like I used to. I really need to get back to strength training, I think that will help.

    12/11: 173.2 Got my run in yesterday after having taking a break since 12/1. I had hoped the calf issue I had been experiencing since November would have eased up given some time to rest, no such luck. Still dealing with that. In 11 years of distance running, have had plenty of ailments and injuries but this is a new one, especially at this super low mileage. In addition to the yoga stretches, Epson salt baths, compression recovery sleeves, KT tape, & foam rolling, I've added in a magnesium supplement & a hemp pain cream. Not giving up, will get through this!

    Trying to catch up with the group. I am sure that I have missed plenty this round. Life was surprisingly distracting, but I selfishly did fit in the time for focus on my eating and exercise.

    Anyhow.....

    @musicsax @Zondeare @quiltingjaine For me, I have yo-yoed so much over the years, I find that I am frequently out of sync with my state at the time. Ie thinking I am still thin, while gaining weight and not recognizing losses when they happen as well. I actually need to spend a little more time in front of the mirror an knowing who I am.

    @camandjarvis Are there any updates on your godson? Last I read, the family was home dealing with COVID quarantine and hoping to get back on the transplant list soon.

    @AR10at50 Thank you! Friday went well as the nerve block was strong. I’m sure it gets more painful from here if memory serves me correctly. I slept most of Friday from 7am-2pm. Thanks though. I’m focusing now on calories in. No exercise,obviously.

    Challenge for this round (again) will be to get back into and stay in133s. 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!

    @musicsax I’m sure I have related my story from summer 2019 - my dear friend kept telling me I was “tiny” but I didn’t believe her until I saw someone watching me dry off when I got out of the community pool. I couldn’t figure out WHO that small lady was staring at me until I realized she was wearing MY BATHING SUIT! OMG!! SHE was ME!!! I AM tiny! Now, over a year later I am still having difficulty but it may be getting easier. Everyone have faith in yourself and believe your friends when they compliment your progress!

    This really made me chuckle - thank you !!

    Round two!
    Last chance before the Solstice, Christmas, and New Year's Eve, to get some calorie domination in!
    Previously...
    133 = 205/93 - 200.6/91

    SW: 200.6/91
    CW: 197.3/89.5
    Goal: Preplan my food Every day
    Goal: Be under 200lbs at the end of the round

    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/03 = 200.6/91
    The saga of the chicks continues. Abandoning the two remaining eggs yesterday, the hen and three chicks had a grand first day out of the nest pecking, scratching, and all that wholesomeness, but did not return to the nest, I had to gather up the eggs and keep them warm till they hatched -which they did today (after a rough night for me of turning up/down an electric throw blanket every hour or so to maintain heat at the right temp)
    Monitoring the two chicks (and their blanket) all day, I had no energy left for anything else, None. I found myself completing the routine tasks mindlessly, and definitely would have strayed from my kj budget but I'd already preplanned my food which saved me the effort of having to choose what to have and made it... just easier.
    I realised I need this in my life. It's a new goal to preplan my food every day for Dec (changes on the day are fine)
    12/04 = 91
    Sad start to the morning, one of the chicks passed away overnight (drowned in the chick waterer somehow) we buried her under the mulberry tree, RIP sweetie.
    The good news is that in the evening the two late hatched chicks, now named Dora (the explorer) and Daisy (she? is tiny with a large yellow patch) easily joined the other two chicks under the fluffy butt of Tweets (the hen), who at first seemed a little confused but happy at having suddenly doubled her wards
    I tried to stay awake to listen out for chick trouble and don't even remember falling into blissfully undisturbed sleep.
    (I didn't feel so great today and didn't eat enough, or so MFP informs me in Big Red Letters, I do hope it's not three strikes you're out )
    12/05 = 90.8
    I'm feeling the calorie deficit today! That'll teach me to eat half my calories, I'm extra useless!
    So I'm having an indulgence day, the only thing I'm keeping green today is the kj count, the rest can put on the red light,
    put on the red light
    put on the red light
    Roxanne!
    12/06 = 90.5
    Wowzers! Onederland!
    Hope I can still be under 200lbs at the end of the round! *fingers crossed* If I can manage it I decided that I'm going to buy myself a fruit tree as a reward
    (I can't tell ya how hard it was to come up with a non-food based reward. note to self: get better at that!)

    The younger chicks have settled in and all four are enjoying the arrival of an electric brooder (that I ordered way back before my hen went broody) though they seem to prefer the real thing most of the time
    Onwards to building the top part of the enclosure before they start flying!
    12/07 = 90.2 Halfway
    12/08 = 90.0
    I've been dreading my dentist appointment tomorrow so I wasted my free time today searching for presents online instead of getting on with one of my Many Projects.
    I don't like shopping online, actually, I don't like shopping. I find it exhausting to want so much but then I have a difficult time with "want", "need", on the other hand, is quantifiable "how much do I need it?" is usually pretty easy to figure out, wants are so complex, always tangled up with whys and whens and whos
    The most difficult thing to acknowledge is that I can't ever have it all, be it all, do it all, given limited resources - one life - 24 hours - 60 minutes.
    If I ever got a tattoo it would say:
    Choose well, but choose now.
    12/09 = 90.0
    Dentist Urgh! ...and gin and tonic
    12/10 = 89.7
    Got a tummy bug today, takin' it easy and using the downtime to plan the holiday menu, trying to find low sugar "healthier" versions of the ol' favourites.
    12/11 = 89.5
    Ate lunch at a cafe today while running errands - I may never eat out again, How does anyone estimate what is in their meal?!
    Near enough is good enough I expect, but it was certainly a wake-up call as to how pedantic I've gotten about what and how much I'm putting in my mouth.
    Long ago, before MFP, when I imagined counting calories, I thought it would take a lot of effort and be so inconvenient or frustrating that I'd give up, but (as long as I remember to do it) it's easy... usually,
    just sayin' if I ate out regularly I'd be first in line to use the new "meal scan" app 'cause it seems I suck at estimating ingredients.
    NSV: Punched a new hole in my belt and it was almost necessary!

    12/12 = 89.5~2 My scale is (occasionally) not very reliable and gave me two different weights today and I need just NEED to also record the lower weight right now, ya know? :joy:
    Meanwhile, who is the sadist that filled my Pinterest feed with all this holiday food? Oh right...

    End of the round and I'm still under 200lbs! I'm off to get my fruit tree ASAP! YAY!

    SW: 126
    RSW: 123.4
    GW: 118
    RGW: 122 anything

    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/04: 123.4- Been a little messed up the pass 3 weeks- thought I had started menopause but went backwards which explains alot!!! I am 55 I am over this!!!! Still TOMing!!! 6 days later, migraine for 3 weeks, but now know I did not overeat as much as I thought and was ridiculous in my cravings. Hope to be over this hormonal blip soon and be able to access and monitor in a regular controlled environment this round.
    12/05: 124.2- Going wrong way and still messed up hormonally -its been a week now. Today no pickleball, home gym workout, harder to push myself here.
    12/06: 124.2- So happy to see I held steady. Made my husband his favorite dinner but must have ate in moderation, he had to work yesterday and had an extremely difficult day! While waiting for him drank some wine and talked with my family out west. No pickleball, my secret to calorie burn, yesterday...will play this afternoon. Tried my best to log, always struggle with my own recipes and then proportions.
    12/07: 123.0 The scale is a crazy thing- No idea when I went to weigh myself this morning I would be down, don't get me wrong this is great but did not see it coming- I am really hormonally screwed up right now so it must be related to this since I ate slightly over my calories yesterday.
    12/08: 123.2- Again tried to guess, was wrong but going sideways for a few days would be good. Migraine finally abated, will probably be more productive in day now, maybe thought I would have stayed the same or slight move down but headache didn't stop to mysteriously around 6pm. Use an Apple Watch and not getting the negative adjustments- trying to search for more info onsite but search engine does not seem to work for me.
    12/09: 121.6- Now I know this is too fast :| I realize that I did not so much undereat yesterday but overexercise and run out of time to eat. Played in a Pickleball Tournament last night, so ate a light dinner before and nothing afterwards. Played all afternoon to warm up - really needed to. Not sure how my body will respond today. I just never had a drop like this before with no prior bloating. I want to lose slow and steady and have a sustainable weight loss.
    12/10: 122- So funny- yesterday shocked I was 121.6 today perturbed I am 122, instead of grateful. Was very tired and sore from so much high level pickleball play Tuesday, was dragging all day. Still went to Body Pump and pushing myself to add weight. Actually have now re-added the bar on my back for squats this week ( a really light bar!), need to take this slow, tore my meniscus at beginning of year, shocked no pain this morning.
    12/11:121.4- Surprised again :o ...I know this is good but I am zapped this morning so maybe need to eat a little better today, I have not ever lost fast before. I did fail tracking last night and am going to try to reconstruct but did not weigh anything.. had pickleball clinic last night and we stayed after playing for almost 2 hours after when I finally left- everyone else stayed! Snacked a little when got home, snacked before I went - Played in the afternoon too- we had 55 degree sunny day here in December, Northern Indiana- unbelievably beautiful, had to be outside. I think spin class in morning was what was too much. Missing body pump class this morning, husband forgot to set his alarm, total chaos trying to get him out the door, had to weigh after he left.
    12/12:121.4- This is a nice place to be. I had to guess at morning calories yesterday, but got lucky that all the sweets had tree nuts so could not eat those yesterday. We had another beautiful unusual warm day, so even though I was going to not play pickleball yesterday could not resist to be outside one last time. So happy, my son is moving half his stuff home today from college. The winter, which usually shows its face in Indiana sooner than December 21, now is finally going to begin this weekend. So planning on a family meal Saturday, meatballs so expecting some weight gain tomorrow. So will try to get a vigorous workout this morning to counter tonight evening overeat.




    12/4: Body Pump- 1 hour, 2 hours Pickleball
    12/5: Essentrics, CXWorks, Spin, Stretch, class then a walk.
    12/6: Almost 3 hours Pickleball
    12/7: Body Pump, 1 hour, 15 yoga, am going to increase this, 2 hours pickleball
    12/8: Essentrics, 3 1/3-4 hours pickleball
    12/9: Body Pump 2 hours pickleball
    12/10: Spin class, outside pickleball, yeah, pickleball clinic
    12/11: 2 hours pickleball, 10 minutes elliptical - had to close my rings
