🎄 DECEMBER 🎄
🎄🌟🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄

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:

• 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.

• 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!

Love North Conway! Have fun!

Thank you! It’ll be an adventure to drive up there in the storm that’s expected but we were able to get early check-in for 1, so hopefully we’ll beat some of the storm.

The 'drops' will be progressively difficult as December moves along. I'm OK with that. In fact, I will probably gain a few lbs. I don't deny myself the many food and beverage celebrations that come with the holiday season but the log will be for honesty sakes.

Turkey Trot Goal - 20 miles. Actual miles 22.59


Kick 2020 to the Curb Goal - 30 miles

Great job meeting and even exceeding your goal for the Turkey Trot! I'm sure you'll also get to 30 for this new challenge. You got this!

You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better than you were before

12/04 - 150.6 - Ah man! Honestly, I expected a larger bump up. BF made chicken alfredo for dinner so there's some bloating from that. Fasted 16hrs - he made breakfast as well. Biscuits and gravy, yuuum. Its been a few weeks since I've had that so I decided to splurge. Hit 75oz I think. Didn't measure leftover water from my 32oz water bottle. I'm satisfied with it. Lazy day today, I think. Going to make bread base to refrigerate tonight for tomorrow's chicken gnocchi. Recipe says refrigerating it helps with fluffiness or something? Can be made 3 days ahead before popping it into oven. Guess we shall find out! Found out last night, his ex is letting the kids come down here for Christmas! A week!! They leave the 26th to go back We weren't expecting to have them again until spring break. He bought them presents from us to ship up there but now we want to spoil them some more and grab a few more things for them to open down here with us. EEK! Exciting.

Nothing makes a Christmas like having little ones around! Excited for you!

Round 134

My goal is to Dance for 20 minutes per day to increase my calorie burn.

Dec 01 – Danced 20 minutes and my was it harder than last time!
Dec 02 – Danced my heart out for 20 minutes.
Dec 03 – No dancing. Paperwork and wrapping presents.

I LOVE your goal! I bet it helps your mood as well as your calorie burn! Are you doing the Body Groove dance stuff or are you free-styling it? What kind of music do you play? I just love this!

12/03 179.0 Baby, it’s COLD outside! So all my exercise was done inside yesterday. I’ve done 18:6 IF the past two days so I think that is helping me.
12/04 178.0 Had a really good food day yesterday and did 19:5 IF.
12/05 176.8 This feels great! If I know my body though, it’ll blip back up tomorrow. But I’m enjoying it today! Did 16:8 IF yesterday. Hopefully the weather will clear a bit today, and I can get in an outdoor walk. Got the Christmas tree up and will decorate it today if all goes as planned. Soon, I’ll be traveling to NC to be with my Mom. Dad says there’s a plan to bring her home from the hospital, but it’s complicated and he’s so exhausted he can’t articulate it well. Will find out more this evening. I don’t think there’s any hope that she pulls out of this though. Just a matter of time.

12/03 Did 2 miles of Leslie Sansone video and really enjoyed it. She really works you out, full-body! I’m still a little uncoordinated for some of the moves she adds in, but it’s fun and hopefully I’ll get less clutsy as I do more.
12/04 Rode 35 minutes and 8.52 miles on my exercise bike. No walking other than 11K+ steps, but I’m only counting real “walking outside or in an exercise walk” miles.
12/05 Rode 30 minutes for 7.58 miles. No walks, but 13k steps getting things done around the house trying to get ready for Christmas and cook some meals to put in my parents’ freezer for whatever the future holds. Realized this morning that I had confused some bike and walking miles when working on the totals, so I’ve gone back to correct the totals in this post.

Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 44.98 WALK
Total Bike Miles toward Goal: 39.93 BIKE

Kick 2020 to the Curb Goal: 3-30 min exercise bike workouts per week= 105 miles by Jan. 1 in addition to the walking goal I'm already working on. May do another 5K walk on or around Jan. 1, too, and just see if I can beat my Turkey Trot time.

Got my sunrise photo that was a goal for this round. Took the long way home - total 7.01 miles in 1 hour 41 minutes. I earned my coffee!

Round 134 will be spent in Florida. The good it that there are lovely opportunities to get outdoor exercise but the bad is more dietary challenge with restaurants and MIL cooking when we visit her. Goal for this round is to get to 135 or below, which should not be hard given that the past two days I was under 136 (.8 uptick this morning to start off the round ) and this goal would support my goal for overall month of December of 2 lb loss from yesterday, Dec 1.

For my kick it to the curb, my goal for while I am in Florida (this whole round) is to walk/run to Sombrero beach, take a picture of the sun rising, and walk/run back. That appears to be a little over 6.5 miles total. With that milage, it will likely be a lot more walk than run. :P I’ll figure out my next challenge when I get back home.

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), not gain over Thanksgiving.

Round 134 – starting weight 136.4

12/3 – 136.0 (florida scale) Successfully handled dining out last night and keeping under calories. I order two items from the appetizer section, tuna tataki and lump blue crab cakes with chipotle sauce. Perfect meal. For main exercise, I have been heading out before sunrise for my alone walks. Yesterday, got a 4 mile walk and this morning I went for 4.5 miles. Working closer to heading for my Sombrero Beach morning.

12/4 – 135.2 (florida scale) Had to change the batteries last night. I have no idea if that impacted numbers either before battery change or after. But this number is within the realm of possibilities given I weighed this same number one day last round. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

12/5 – 134.8 (florida scale) To continue to get through these remaining days in the keys, I have pre-tracked all my dinners and breakfasts, including dining out (accessed online menus). That bit of control is helping me get through.

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.

I really liked reading the book "Hormone Health" by Sara Gottfried. She also has some talks on YouTube. Good luck!
