12/13 - 136.8 - Feeling incredibly bloated and yucky today. Not a great start. I managed to get up and make myself do 45 minutes of Just Dance, which helped me feel better but obviously the scale is still high. I’m going to try and relax as much as possible for the rest of the day - as much as the kids let me!

12/14 - 136.8 - Yeah, so much for resting yesterday. I was on my feet all day long chasing kids, doing curbside pickups or making my meal prep for the week. I’m happy to get back to the meal prep though - it makes it so much easier to stick to my daily calories when I’m not figuring out on the fly what to eat.

12/15 - 135.6 - So excited this morning, and not even because of the scale (though I’m very happy to be under 136 again). Last night my husband surprised me with my Christmas present early - a Series 6 Apple Watch! I’d been using his old Series 1 after he got a new one last year; it worked fine and I really liked it, but I was really interested in the new Apple Fitness + that was coming out and you needed a Series 3 and up to use it. So Apple Fitness + launched yesterday... and he got me the new watch so I could get it! I tried two workouts this morning - a HIIT and a Strength training - and LOVED it. It was absolutely adorable with the kids trying to do it with me too. I’m not going to stop doing Ring Fit and Just Dance, but this is an awesome new option for me.

12/16 - 134.4 - That’s a nice whoosh! I needed that this morning. It’s so much harder to resist all the cookies and candy when you aren’t seeing progress on the scale.

12/17 - 134.6 - I always seem to have a tiny bump up after a big drop. I guess it’s just my body adjusting. I did a HIIT workout this morning and I definitely felt it! Hopefully mixing it up with new workouts and higher intensity will help me keep up a slow decrease until Christmas.

12/18 - 134.0 - Woke up sore this morning- still feeling the HIIT workout, I guess. So I started this morning with yoga and core workouts, then switched to dancing for about 20 minutes of cardio. Picking up the big grocery order this afternoon - everything we need for cookie making, Christmas Eve, Christmas breakfast and dinner - oh, and food for the rest of the week!

Goal: At least 15 minutes of yoga before bed each night

12/13 - 15 minutes of yoga and mindful breathing before bed.

12/14 - Skipped last night - too tired and fussy toddler again. Committing to doing it tonight.

12/15 - Did 12 minutes of yoga and about 5 of deep breathing before bed. Days have still been challenging with my 5 year old, but I do think this is helping. It’s helping me sleep, at least, which also results in a calmer me during the day!

12/16 - I had such a better day yesterday. Did 20 minutes of yoga before bed - I hope to find one of the Apple Fitness + yoga programs to be good for winding down for sleep.

12/17 - Does deep breathing while rocking a crying toddler at 1 AM count?

12/18 - Yoga stretches and relaxation moves last night

Day/Weight/Comment
12/13 - 142.5 - My life's been a little crazy over the past week, but I have managed to track my weight. I'll try to catch up on all the posts from last round that I missed.
12/14 - 144 - Not a surprise. I had a feeling that the scale was off yesterday and I had plenty of sodium. Drinking all the water today!
12/15 - 144.5 - I'm really going to try to stay within weight loss calories the rest of the week. I don't want to go into Christmas at the top of my maintenance.
12/16 - 144.5 - I'm just glad my weight didn't go any higher.
12/17 - 145 - Stress is getting to me. We found out last week that my husband may have bladder cancer. We should know more on the 28th when he has a cystoscopy. I'm right at that level of stress where I eat for comfort especially with all the Christmas goodies around. My husband has wanted some comfort food too and I'm not keeping him from that either. (He doesn't have a weight problem) Logically, I know food is not going to fix our issues, but I've decided I'm not going to beat myself up if I go over maintenance. I'll just keep tracking and staying mindful, so I don't have too much to lose after the holidays.
12/18 - 144.5 - Took the day off work today to clean my house and get a few things done before Christmas. My birthday is Sunday and we're doing a Zoom video call with multiple family members. Luckily, I only have to make sure the one room is really spotless for the call!

12/13 195.5
12/14 196.1 What I didn’t think about in regards to this time of the year is how you run out of time to cook. When I add in the task of doing my daughter hair for 2 and half hours last night it adds to running out of time. I never cooked dinner. Had meal prep ideas, never got to it. The weather was warm yesterday so I took to the kids to the park. That was nice.
12/15 196.7 I am losing this race. Cookies and apple crisp.
12/16 196.2 Some progress but I have a feeling that a REAL gain has happened, no water weight. I have had so much junk in my house with the 3 year old holiday. Last night was really hard. The only thing I ate that was not regulation was 6 sour patch kids. It was not nearly enough but I resisted anything else and even did some dancing with the kids to Christmas songs in front of the Christmas tree last night. I was trying to teach them how to twist. LOL
12/17 195.3 I did lots of shoveling which is great exercise on the arms and legs. Plus running after my children with a much awaited snowball fight.
12/18 195.5 Small workout today. Tried my afternoon lunch walk but didn't get much done. Still tried.

Day/Weight/Comment

12/13 = 90
Confused at my weigh-in results today I looked into how many calories I need to be eating (instead of just guessing)
Thanks to @SheilaBoneham for posting the link to https://www.sailrabbit.com/bmr/ so I could get some good ballpark numbers.
12/14 = 90
The same again? It's so hard to trust that I'm still losing when the scale doesn't move.

12/15 = 90
Over 7000kj today.
What are you rebelling against?
What have you got?... like, got any cookies on ya?

12/16 = 90

12/17 = 90 Halfway
About 7000kj again due to an (oilly, poorly) cooked dinner by my partner must find a way to tactfully reject food that isn't good for me, even if it was prepared with good intentions.

12/18 = 90
I've decided to look at this streak as an accomplishment If this was next week I'd be proud of my weight management

12/19 = 90
Though maintenance was a personal goal for my holidays (starting on the 21st) I admit that I didn't actually believe I could do it, but because of this round I've seen that I can and am feeling positive about the next two weeks
Now to get the rest of my projects half as organized!

My Weight Chart:

kalchthaleri

I am going to try something different this round. I thought that a daily weigh-in was required but then I noticed that some people don't weigh when they go away and/or some times a day or two is missed, intentionally or unintentionally, so I figure it is okay!
I have the honor of officiating at a wedding (socially distanced, 8 people!) and I will be away from the scale for two days. So I figure this is a good time to try and experiment with my always worried, always number-obsessed mind! I will comment every day but I will get weighed only twice, on the 20th before I leave and on the 23rd, my morning home. We'll see how it goes!

DAY/WEIGHT/COMMENT
12/13 – 137.5 lbs. (5 pound gain over night even though I stuck fully to plan! This would have killed me before but I know this is not real! Long run is important! I have to remember that!)
12/14 – Ran, exercised, ate all according to plan!
12/15 - Very odd...it is easier to walk past the Twinkies than walk past the scale! I ALWAYS weighed in today...I played all the mind tricks, "I will look at it but not record it." "I will get on but not look." But I didn't! I did run, workout and eat according to plan, however!
12/16 - Didn't weigh today! Ran and exercised. But I am nervous...we are closing early today at work because of the winter storm. I am quite worried about being home alone and eating...it will be okay. It will be okay. It is just that usually I am at work until 7 or later in the evening. Today I will be there hours before that...ugh. Okay. I can do this! And if I don't...it isn't the end of the world. I am just going to try my best.
12/17 - (I made it through. I did eat more than usual, yet nothing "bad" like no added sugars just more veggies, fruit and I counted everything and measured portion sizes on scale. So while I feel like I gave in to eating more when stressed I think that I allowed myself to adapt my plan. And that is something I just feel like I can never do but I think I was able to reason "Hey...it is okay to figure out how to best be healthy and care for yourself, even your emotional needs" and I stayed within control and didn't let my disorder control me.)
12/18 - Blah. I got weighed. It was a "good" number but I am not going to record it. I have to try to stop obsessing about the numbers. I am going to try again! I keep trying. Weigh in next on the 23rd. The 23rd! I can make it!

12/14 Didn't weigh - binged fast food
12/15 Didn't weigh. - Worked outand hit step goal
12/16 211.8 - Cooked dinner and worked outhit step goal
12/17 212 - Cooked dinner, worked out, hit step goal. Feel sad that weight is going up and wanted Taco bell but managed to not self destruct as I usually do when I count calories but weight climbs. Gonna give it another week to go down.
12/18 - 212. Some reason I don't get the first woosh of easy water weight lost when I first start counting. Of course this makes me want to quit but I'm going to keep pushing. Hit step goal, worked out and stayed in calories. Gonna keep pushing, maybe weight will change at the end of this.

JGM10D Round 135

🎄🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄
🎄 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!😷

December 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!

Oops. Wrong direction. Too much couch time & snacking yesterday. On-line Christmas shopping has its disadvantages-->no walking involved. Sighhhh...guess that’s why I’m here. : ) Exercise=7 single leg calf raises each side, hip flexor stretch x20 seconds each. (I know it's not much--trying to start a habit!)

12/14 = 132.4
Well....harrumph. I think I did better today. I need to be more diligent tracking! I went over my allotted calories yesterday and to the shock of Nobody Anywhere, excess calories = excess pounds. Boo. Exercise today=calf raises, hip flexor stretch, clamshell, supine SLR, side SLR, heel walk. No run today--got side tracked filing away All The Papers. How does the paper pile get so ridiculously large?!!

12/15 = 131.2
Did better at logging in MFP. Exercise=run 1.5 miles. Cold outside (feels like 19F) maybe that will help burn some calories haha Need to cover my face better next time--frozen!

12/16 = 131.2
Holding steady still --I’ll take it = ) Exercise = TBD Fail.

12/17 = 131.2
Exhausted after work, why, idk. Exercise = nope.

12/18 = 131.4
Well, not too terrible I guess. I was beginning to wonder if my scale was broken. HA. I do better when I read/log in to this thread in the morning--y'all inspire me! Exercise=none really today again.

Round 135

Please join us! Starting on 12/13 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 135
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Goals
- check in at least every other day
- Participate

Day/Weight/Comment
12/12 …..204.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/13 …..203.2 ….. A nice little drop to start this round. I stuck to low calorie and carb yesterday until the peanut butter toast last night (just too hungry). However, due to a diligent day, my calories remained low and my carbs were mid-range. It helped. Good luck everyone this round!

12/14 …..203.4 ….. I would love to call this a normal fluctuation but….. well, my meals were on track but the Christmas goodies people share got to me a bit too much.

12/15 …..205.0 ….. I deserve this, however, bad days do not define me. Today will be a better day.

12/16 …..205.0 ….. Very good meal planning but snacks got me again. Also, little to urine output. Retaining water for sure!

12/17 …..205.2 ….. I just couldn’t seem to get full yesterday. I think my choices for my meals and snacks may have been too many empty calories.

12/18 …..205.0 ….. Very late entry because I traveled today for Christmas shopping and just got home a short bit ago. Worried about the scale a bit for in the morning now. And I have not even started baking yet.

12/19 …..xxxxx …..

12/20 …..xxxxx …..

12/21 …..xxxxx …..

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.
Dec 04 – Danced for 20 minutes to mostly classic rock.
Dec 05 – Danced for about 22 minutes to a nice mix of music.
Dec 06 – Lots of movement but no dancing due to workmen here all day and continued unpacking.
Dec 07 – More workers here and no dancing. However, if you count going up and down stairs for hours as exercise, I got in my fair share!
Dec 08 – Danced about 8 minutes. Better than nothing I suppose.
Dec 09 – 20 minutes of dancing and it knocked the wind out of me. Slower songs next time until I get used to it again!
Dec 10 – No dancing. All working around the house and sitting…sitting…sitting while shopping online. No stores in my rural area!
Dec 11 – Danced 20 minutes and even sang to the songs!
Dec 12 – No Dancing. Not enough movement. Online shopping again!
Dec 13 – Danced for about 14 minutes.
Dec 14 – I didn’t dance. A friend was over until very late last night who ran errands with me all day. Donuts & coffee did not help the scale.
Dec15 – Danced about 12 minutes. But I got a LOT of unpacking and orgainizing done. And I am all caught up on the wrapping until Amazon visits me tomorrow.
Dec 16 – No Dancing. Went on errands and then my friend came over.
Dec 17 – 20 minutes of dancing.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/13 132.2 - 9.6 miles walked yesterday. 71 calories over & high carbs from our Saturday pizza night.
12/14 131.8 - whoo-oo! Well chuffed with this! Only 2.28 miles walked yesterday – rain all day. 120 calories over due to the lack of exercise.
12/15 131.8 - 11.49 miles walked yesterday incorporating walking/jogging 5K in 44.04 mins. 635 calories in credit.
12/16 131.8 – 13.37 miles walked yesterday including 5K completed in 42.49 mins; I repeated day 1 of week 5 C25K; 3 x 5 minute runs as the next day is supposed to be 2 x 8 minute runs, I'm struggling with the 5 so don't think I'll manage 8, maybe try later in the week!! 675 calories in



12/17 131.4 – only 3.11 miles walked yesterday because we had rain all day, so I did the last of my Christmas shopping and also my supermarket shopping; all I need now before the big day is the fresh stuff. In addition did majority of present wrapping. 25 calories over.
12/18 131.4 – 11.64 miles incorporating walked/jogged 5K in 44.06. I was still running when I completed the 5K so tomorrow I'm going to start logging the distance someway into my warm up walk today. 576 calories in credit.
12/19 132.2 – not concerned about slight uptick; normal variation? 11.76 miles walked yesterday incorporating day 2 of week 5 C25K; well I did it, 2 x 8 minutes of jogging yesterday with 5 minutes brisk walk in between to recover, but I peeped at the next day work out, 20 minutes !!! Yes 20 minutes continuous jogging, that's a big jump and my knee jerk reaction (mentally & physically – knee is really hating the running!) is never! But I didn't think I'd do 8 minutes, so never say never, I intend to repeat todays 2x 8 minutes a few times and maybe start to pinch a couple of walking minutes to continue jogging. I'll give it a go, that's all I can do, but I do really like how it's giving me a run of loses (until today)!! 581 calories in credit.

12/16 176.2 I honestly have no idea how it got to be the 16th. I thought I’d posted everyday, but apparently I have not. Mom passed on the 14th. Note to self: in the future when I take food to someone during a time like this, take a SALAD!!!
12/17 DNW—scales packed in the car—going back to Tennessee today to make Christmas happen for the TN part of my family, so hopefully I can eat better and exercise more in the coming days. I need to do that for me right now. Oh, y'all would be proud of me: when someone called yesterday to see what they could do for us, I ASKED for a salad!!! Tasted SO good!
12/18 177.4 Home now for a bit, so it’s time to take control again.
12/19 176.4 Did better with food choices yesterday. No crazy comfort foods like there have been over the last several days. Movement was way better even though at times all I want to do is just rest. I’m bone tired from the last two weeks.

12/16 I got in my first walk of the round yesterday at 2.91 miles. Took Dad (89 years old) to a park for part of it, so pace was very slow for that section, but it was a joy to be able to do that with him. Definitely my favorite part of the day.
12/18 Just did some figuring. If I meet the walking goal, it will mean doing a 5K every day between now and the end of the year. Not sure I'll get that done. But I can DO the bike goal with only 8 sessions the rest of the year, so that is still very achievable. Let's just see how far I can get! Gonna be a challenge overall!
12/19 Did two short walks yesterday, one with the pup, one with my granddaughter in her stroller. Then, I didn’t want to, but I made myself get on the exercise bike for 8.5 miles. Felt great once I got going.

Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 58.64 WALK
Total Bike Miles toward Goal: 61.43 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. When I set those goals, I had no idea how much time I would spend sitting at my mother’s bedside, so I most likely won’t meet them now. It’ll be ok. I just need to work back up to getting in more movement every day now.

Round 135 is back to reality. Day one weigh-in will be on my home scale and will be interesting to see. The round will end just days before X-mas. Goal for this is rather boring. Try to maintain the weight loss I had while in Florida while I figure out my colder weather exercise patterns and continue to adjust my daily calorie goal while nearing my ultimate goal weight.

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, get below 135, lose 2 lb during December, walk/run to Sombrero B for sunrise.

Round 135 – starting weight 132.6 (florida scale)

12/13 – 133.6 Welcome home to me with a 1 lb gain. I am curious about the significance. Is it the change of scale, real but travel/fluid retention related, or what? Still thrilled to be at this number. We’ll see what the next days tell me. Back to reality today, and scrambling to be ready for the holidays while doing COVID quarantine due to our travel.

12/14 – 132.8 So the two scales must match pretty well, which is nice to know. Wrenched my back yesterday being stupid. Need to make sure it does not turn into an excuse to not keep good habits going.

12/15 – 133.8 It’s going to be one of those rounds…… Went out of control late last night. Got into leftover Halloween candy that I had been controlling perfectly since my last binge mid October. Moving on.

12/16 – 134.8 CICO are fine, so I know these gains are not fat but fluid. Even my 12/14 evening candy binge had kept me under that day’s TDEE. ATM I am blaming pain meds. Yesterday, I have resorted to full on meds, around the clock Naproxen sodium with extra strength Tylenol. That combo means I can almost bend over and managed to sleep a bit better last night. I can walk well (once I stand up), but 19 degrees is not making it inviting. So ticked with myself. Need to stay focused and need to remember that diligent tracking will allow me to parse the cause of a gain, and power through until all this sorts out. Giving it a couple more days before I bother the doctor.

12/17 – 133.2 Pain meds are gone. Back still off, but could sleep last night. Fortunately, I can do my exercises (cycle, walking, planks) thought not attempting jogging or hills. Calories good. Yesterday’s exercise with good music seems to be helping get my head back in the game. Today is a significant snowstorm here. Already did 20 minutes on the bike before reporting in here. Looking to break up the day with other mini workouts. We’ll see if I have that to report tomorrow morning. :P

12/18 – 133.4 Weather not great to get outside. Yesterday was two rounds of 20 min indoor bike. I did purchase fleece leggings (store pickup today) that will hopefully give me more options as winter proceeds. Calories are good enough. Scale not moving, but also have noticed that I am “bound up” which is uncommon for me especially since I have taken preventative meds/supplements ever since my hemorrhoidectomy (worst word to spell) two years ago. Just keep going forward and trust it will work out.

12/19 – 133.2 Have to get more exercise. Yesterday’s temps now look warm. This morning is 9 degrees. Not sure my new fleece lined leggings can even handle that. Digestive system still not normal and I am super confused. The only remaining variable is a new food I have had the past 4 days – pumpkin soup. While I was travel quarantining, I ran out of my usual mixed veggie soup and I had the ingredients to make pumpkin soup do I made it. I know google does not agree, but in the feline IBD group I am in members use it in their cats to “firm them up”. I may experiment and delay by last bowl of this soup for a day or two to see if there is a cause and effect.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
12/13 213.1 No exercise, 1492 cal, 47 net carbs, 1 wine. Pancakes for breakfast + chips & guac for lunch.
12/14 212.8 No exercise rainy weekend, plank, 2486 cal, 44 net carbs, 2 wine. Really rich dinner - Sheet Pan Mustard Chicken with Bacon, Mushrooms & Onions.
12/15 211.6 🎗Walked 3.1 miles, plank, 1142 cal, 78 net carbs, AF. Red beans and rice for dinner surely bump up the scale but it didn't. Maybe because of smaller portion or no cornbread? Low calories overall today and I guess carbs were not as out of control as I thought.
12/16 212.1 Walked 2.4 miles in misty rain, plank, 1269 cal, 85 net carbs, 3 wine. Pasta for dinner. WI at my obgyn’s yesterday fully clothed w/shoes in the afternoon was 212! When I last saw her in Feb 2019 I weighed 235.
12/17 213.4 Walked 1.9 + .9 miles, 1846 cal, 144 net carbs, AF. I think I pushed the limits with a restaurant salad at lunch and then Grimaldi’s pizza for dinner! Both were delicious but back to the board to drive the scale back down.
12/18 213.4 Walked 3.2 miles, 1659 cal, 72 net carbs, 2 wine. Lost electricity unexpected dinner out.
12/19 212.7 Walked 3.3 miles, plank, 1465 cal, 39 net carbs, AF. Still not drinking enough water … need to up my game and guzzle more water this weekend.

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment

12/13 - 182.8 - 1626
I’m currently up 50 stupid pounds from Nov. 2018. That’s 2 pounds a month. I’m so disappointed in myself, though of course regaining lost weight is the norm. I don’t want to be normal. I don’t like to set weight goals because I can’t control my weight, only what I do about it, but I’m shifting gears and setting goals of 155 by 1-1-22, and 130 by 1-1-23. I’m ordering warmer clothes for winter walking/running and I’m determined to stick with it. It took me 3.5 years to lose 84 pounds, which is an overall average of 2# per month (there were faster periods and plateaus), but 2 per month seems realistic for me. I did it before, I can do it again. I just have to quit pretending otherwise.

12/14 - 182.8 - 1372
Yesterday was good. No nighttime noshing. Plenty of protein. A little exercise despite the cold wind. Happy Monday, all!

12/15 - 182 - 1368
Another good day yesterday. I did have a whole-grain English muffin with natural peanut butter last night because I was really hungry, but calories good anyway. Off to the post office with final “away” gifts — aaacccckkkkkk! Lines! Be safe, all.

12/16 - 182.6 - 1716
Oops. But my weekly average is below TDEE, so there’s that. Cold and snowy today, but my garden looks peaceful and lovely. I hope everyone in the path of this big storm is safe and warm.

12/17 - 182.2 - 1626
A bit better. Calories acceptable, and no late-night snacking. I’ve really had the urge to bake, but since I can’t disperse the results very well, I’ve resisted. I will bake myself a cake next week, though, and take some to friends & neighbors. My fleece-lined longies arrived, so I’ll give them a test run today — high expected 32F. Brrrrr. It’s been nice, though, sitting inside, looking out at the snow, knitting in the glow of the Christmas tree. We were lucky to get just the edge of the big storm. Be safe & warm, all.

12/18 - 182.4 - 1540
I tried for a walk yesterday but there was ice everywhere and falling is not on my to-do list, so I did some old-fashioned calisthenics. I’ve also put my dumbbells in my bathroom and every time I go there, I do 5 reps of some sort of lift. It adds up!

12/19 - 181.8 - 1388
I’m doing much better — no snacks for several days. Yay! DH wants gyros today, so I plan to weigh my meat and eat it with salad only, no pita. Oh, and some good Greek olives! Yum! Happy Saturday, all. I hope you’re all safe and warm.

12/19 - 147.7 - That's from not eating. I had some bread and butter to break my fast then wasn't hungry. Dinner was gumbo but I had a salad to start off and struggled to finish the salad because I wasn't hungry. Ended up pushing my fasting back a loooot by eating a handful of goldfish with the kiddo. 1030 will be 12hrs so hopefully I can push past that and get closer to 14hrs. Think I'm going through one of my not hungry bouts. I also have insatiable hunger bouts, too. Oh well. I don't feel unwell and trying to listen to my body. Figured having goldfish wouldn't hurt - sharing with the kiddo on the first night of seeing them again.

Previous Day's Comments

12/13 - Not at all surprised with the bump up. Expected it to be more of an increase, honestly. Fasted 16hrs yesterday and 60oz water yesterday. Hoping to be AF today. It is a pretty chill day. I'll be content with a 12hr fast as I had a drink last night around a fire just talking - 12 hrs puts me at 230pm. Will see if I can push for longer but one day won't completely undo everything. Back on the wagon today with closing fasting window as early as I can after dinner.
12/14 - Back down and then some. Visually a little bloated, though. I am not at all sure what is going on with this sudden weight loss. Yesterday I was very likely below calories but I wasn't overly hungry, either. Otherwise, I've been expecting significant bumps up. Fasted 5 minutes shy of 12hrs, hence the bloat. Also only got about 3-3.5hrs of solid sleep last night. 96oz water. No alcohol. Finished dinner early so unless BF makes breakfast for me, I can easily reach 17-18hrs. I will try to track food to make sure I'm eating enough. I did this last week and had plenty enough then. Wondering if my body was adjusting to fasting again? I've never had a long adjustment (10 weeks!) like that, but my hormone imbalance issue a few weeks ago may have prolonged a lot of things. May have reset my body, too, now that I'm back on track hormonally.
12/15 - This is okay, I expected it. 18hr fast and only 70oz water yesterday. Dinner was late so I'm hoping to hit 17hrs today.
12/16 - Ended up doing an accidental OMAD yesterday. Didn't get near enough water, either - estimating 48oz or so. Finally able to pass out last night and get good sleep. It was a super struggle to wake up this morning. Guess body and mind were trying to play catch up on several days of 3-4hr sleep. Attempting chicken crispitos today. Not sure how well it'll go, but I'm going to try it!
12/17 - I'm not entirely sure what these drops are about. I'm certain I'm eating enough. I'm definitely feeling full during my meals and my body isn't reacting in any abnormal way other than the scale. Any long term IF-ers out there experience a steady weight/weight gain followed but a fairly sudden and quick drop? It seems too fast and too sudden, but this is the first time I've consistently fasted. Fasted 19.75hrs yesterday, water still not great - 36oz maybe? Need to get that back up, especially since the bloat has gone up. Crispitos were actually quite good yesterday. My first time frying anything like that. They're kind of like taquitos. I used venison and onion, cooked up. Took tortillas, wrapped the meat/onion in them, and fried. Garnish as you wish (salsa, hot sauce, cheese, etc. We thought of leftover night tonight and had the idea of pouring the leftover chili BF made over leftover crispitos. Excited to try that!). Its frigid to me - 25 degrees! I thought I moved away from this bitter cold, brrrr. Hope I don't catch a chill, like cold to the bones, early on that I can't seem to shake loose. Maybe a quick morning workout will warm me up enough I can curl up under my couch blanket to stay warm.
12/18 - Its okay, expected! Fasted just shy 15hrs as I dealt with heartburn and needed to take antacids (which breaks the fast) so I had some homemade bread to supplement the antacids. Had Taco Bell (its next town over we don't go often) and then leftover crispitos for dinner. I'm actually surprised I stayed in the 140s with all that! about 75oz down, thankfully.

Completed: 8/15

12/01 - What better way to beat anxiety than yoga. Today I'll try to get some meditative yoga to help me calm down after last night.
12/02 - Yesterday I got halfway through my yoga workout and the dog started throwing up everywhere. I have a weak stomach so cleaning it had me gagging and running to the bathroom. Ruined the mood. Try again today to make up for it
12/03 - Did get my yoga done yesterday. Yoga With Adriene has her December calendar up so I'm following those videos on the days I can practice. Yesterday was a 10 minute meditation yoga so I decided to get some movement as well by finishing the practice I didn't get to on 12/01. I just started over since it was also a pretty short one.
12/04 - Started my yoga practice but was interrupted with BF waking up earlier than normal. The worst part about having a house a tad too small.
12/05 - I realized I'm behind on YWA calendar. I did the meditation as day 2 instead of day 1! Oops. Hoping a short practice today since I'm not sure plans.
12/06 - Didn't get a practice in and not sure I'll get one in today. Will have to focus on getting them done during the week and give myself slack on weekends since they're always spur of the moment.
12/07 - No yoga. Couldn't even finish making coffee and BF was ready to go. I kind of figured that would happen. Hoping today I'll wake up a little bit more so I can get a practice in, even if its short and sweet.
12/08 - No yoga, work has been crazy busy with meetings. Today is even busier! Almost back to back meetings. It'll be a miracle if I can get yoga in today. The remainder of my work week looks just as bad. Will keep looking for opportunities
12/09 - Managed to squeeze in a really quick practice for gut health yesterday. Not sure I'll get to today, but I'll keep trying to squeeze something in whenever I possibly can!
12/10 - Work got stupid busy so couldn't squeeze in a practice yesterday. Once my 630am meeting is over, I'll hop on the living room TV for practice since BF won't be up until 8 at the very earliest (plus I have an 830 meeting). I'm not as groggy this morning so I think I can push through to hopefully wake me up fully.
12/11 - Right after my meeting I did a quick practice, but it was more of a morning wake up stretch to jolt some energy through you. It worked, I needed a good, over-the-top morning stretch
12/12 - Didn't get a chance to, had to run errands early before the weekend flood of tourists made it in.
12/13 - Got a quick ab yoga workout in and I'm still feeling it today. Whoooa! Need to find a nice simple practice since I'm running on 5-6hrs sleep right now (stupid insomnia) that won't leave me feeling too drained after
12/14 - I didn't get to finish my practice, but I got most of it done, so I'm calling it a success.
12/15 - I was so tired yesterday. Didn't get much sleep last night, either, but going to try for an easy stretch practice just to get some movement in
12/16 - Didn't get one in yesterday. By the time I had any kind of energy, work blew up and I used my energy working.
12/17 - Didn't happen. Was quite groggy and unmotivated yesterday. Sleepy this morning but the frigid cold shocked me awake enough I'm looking up a youtube as soon as I post to try to warm myself up with physical activity.
12/18 - Ugh, I get interrupted right at beginning. Home alone today so definitely can get one in! I really will struggle with kids here so I need to put more effort into making it happen first thing in the morning regardless how sleepy/groggy I am.
12/19 - Very short video, but got something in. Better than nothing.

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.

12/13 118.0 Virtual sew day with the ladies
12/14 119.0 Sat in a chair all day yesterday but got SOOO much accomplished. Sewed blocks into rows for quilt top started 18 months ago, sewed together blocks for a wall hanging after figuring out how to compensate for one really wrong size block, crocheted some on a shawl started over a year ago. See a pattern here? I feel good about what I did and the soup I made myself was delish and within my macros. Did not drink enough water AND got up 3 times during the night because I was thirsty and needed to pee! Push water today!!!
12/15 117.5 Still didn’t drink more than 2.5 qts of water. I only count plain or sparkling water - not coffee or seltzer/vodka.
12/16 117.5 Awake at 4:40AM with headache, gave up and got up, it’s finally getting better. Darn arthritis!
12/17 117.5 Husband has eye exam this afternoon so I will walk around Walmart while he’s there.
12/18 119.0 Easily explained in 2 words - Great Greek. Didn’t go to Walmart but walked with neighbor for a short distance. She has many health issues and shutdown has really had a negative effect on her. Going to lunch with her today after DH & I donate a unit of blood.
12/19 119.5 What a disaster at the blood bank! We had appointments for 12:15 and over an hour after that they hadn’t started the collection. We left to meet the neighbor for our lunch reservation in what turned out to be a smoke filled bar. We went elsewhere. I can’t believe there are only 3 more days this round! Where does the time go???
MAYBE this round I’ll move.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/12 …..204.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/13 …..203.2 ….. A nice little drop to start this round. I stuck to low calorie and carb yesterday until the peanut butter toast last night (just too hungry). However, due to a diligent day, my calories remained low and my carbs were mid-range. It helped. Good luck everyone this round!

12/14 …..203.4 ….. I would love to call this a normal fluctuation but….. well, my meals were on track but the Christmas goodies people share got to me a bit too much.

12/15 …..205.0 ….. I deserve this, however, bad days do not define me. Today will be a better day.

12/16 …..205.0 ….. Very good meal planning but snacks got me again. Also, little to urine output. Retaining water for sure!

12/17 …..205.2 ….. I just couldn’t seem to get full yesterday. I think my choices for my meals and snacks may have been too many empty calories.

12/18 …..205.0 ….. Very late entry because I traveled today for Christmas shopping and just got home a short bit ago. Worried about the scale a bit for in the morning now. And I have not even started baking yet.

12/19 …..205.4 ….. I expected it to be much higher after the all day (and night) travel yesterday so I am pleasantly surprised. I hope it doesn’t “catch up” with me over the next couple of days. Snow here today. Cold but absolutely beautiful in my rural setting.

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.
Dec 04 – Danced for 20 minutes to mostly classic rock.
Dec 05 – Danced for about 22 minutes to a nice mix of music.
Dec 06 – Lots of movement but no dancing due to workmen here all day and continued unpacking.
Dec 07 – More workers here and no dancing. However, if you count going up and down stairs for hours as exercise, I got in my fair share!
Dec 08 – Danced about 8 minutes. Better than nothing I suppose.
Dec 09 – 20 minutes of dancing and it knocked the wind out of me. Slower songs next time until I get used to it again!
Dec 10 – No dancing. All working around the house and sitting…sitting…sitting while shopping online. No stores in my rural area!
Dec 11 – Danced 20 minutes and even sang to the songs!
Dec 12 – No Dancing. Not enough movement. Online shopping again!
Dec 13 – Danced for about 14 minutes.
Dec 14 – I didn’t dance. A friend was over until very late last night who ran errands with me all day. Donuts & coffee did not help the scale.
Dec15 – Danced about 12 minutes. But I got a LOT of unpacking and orgainizing done. And I am all caught up on the wrapping until Amazon visits me tomorrow.
Dec 16 – No Dancing. Went on errands and then my friend came over.
Dec 17 – 20 minutes of dancing.
Dec 18 – No dancing. All travel and car sitting yesterday until almost midnight!

I am going to try something different this round. I thought that a daily weigh-in was required but then I noticed that some people don't weigh when they go away and/or some times a day or two is missed, intentionally or unintentionally, so I figure it is okay!
I have the honor of officiating at a wedding (socially distanced, 8 people!) and I will be away from the scale for two days. So I figure this is a good time to try and experiment with my always worried, always number-obsessed mind! I will comment every day but I will get weighed only twice, on the 20th before I leave and on the 23rd, my morning home. We'll see how it goes!

DAY/WEIGHT/COMMENT
12/13 – 137.5 lbs. (5 pound gain over night even though I stuck fully to plan! This would have killed me before but I know this is not real! Long run is important! I have to remember that!)
12/14 – Ran, exercised, ate all according to plan!
12/15 - Very odd...it is easier to walk past the Twinkies than walk past the scale! I ALWAYS weighed in today...I played all the mind tricks, "I will look at it but not record it." "I will get on but not look." But I didn't! I did run, workout and eat according to plan, however!
12/16 - Didn't weigh today! Ran and exercised. But I am nervous...we are closing early today at work because of the winter storm. I am quite worried about being home alone and eating...it will be okay. It will be okay. It is just that usually I am at work until 7 or later in the evening. Today I will be there hours before that...ugh. Okay. I can do this! And if I don't...it isn't the end of the world. I am just going to try my best.
12/17 - (I made it through. I did eat more than usual, yet nothing "bad" like no added sugars just more veggies, fruit and I counted everything and measured portion sizes on scale. So while I feel like I gave in to eating more when stressed I think that I allowed myself to adapt my plan. And that is something I just feel like I can never do but I think I was able to reason "Hey...it is okay to figure out how to best be healthy and care for yourself, even your emotional needs" and I stayed within control and didn't let my disorder control me.)
12/18 - Blah. I got weighed. It was a "good" number but I am not going to record it. I have to try to stop obsessing about the numbers. I am going to try again! I keep trying. Weigh in next on the 23rd. The 23rd! I can make it!
12/19 - AGGH! I did it again! I stepped on the scale. It was another "good" number. STILL not going to record it. Okay so tomorrow. Tomorrow tomorrow I will try not to get weighed. I worry that I will because I know I won't be able to get weighed on Monday morning and Tuesday morning as I will be away that I will weigh myself tomorrow...but I am going to try. Runs and workouts and eating all going according to plan and have been since June 8. So that is good. Not bingeing, not restricting, not over exercising or over running...so those are successes, right? Just not the ones I was hoping for this round, but I am still okay. I am still here and still going to keep trying.

@kalchthaleri Can you put the scale somewhere inconvenient between your planned weighings, like the garage, top shelf of your closet, or the attic?

@SheilaBoneham Trade you. Apple Watch says 19 degrees and I think that is after warming a little today. I do need to figure out what leg wear to wear. I have leggings I love, but I manage to wear them even in the summer so not the best for winter. What did you buy?

@SModa61 I know, I’m a weather wimp after 10 years on the southern coast of NC. I’m hoping my new long Johns under heavy-weight leggings will be warm. Here are the ones I ordered — they feel lovely, so I’m hoping the ice will melt this morning so I can give them a test run! https://amazon.com/gp/product/B083DWPJ7L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@SheilaBoneham thanks for the recommendation. those look great. I bought these yesterday and tried them out in 25 degrees today https://www.target.com/p/women-39-s-seamless-high-waist-fleece-lined-leggings-a-new-day-8482-black-l-xl/-/A-79722160?ref=&amp;ref=OpsEmail_Order_572_Default OPU B&amp;j=173567&amp;sfmc_sub=173953613&amp;l=20_HTML&amp;u=99985666&amp;mid=7284873&amp;jb=44558

Day/Weight/Comment
12/13 - 142.5 - My life's been a little crazy over the past week, but I have managed to track my weight. I'll try to catch up on all the posts from last round that I missed.
12/14 - 144 - Not a surprise. I had a feeling that the scale was off yesterday and I had plenty of sodium. Drinking all the water today!
12/15 - 144.5 - I'm really going to try to stay within weight loss calories the rest of the week. I don't want to go into Christmas at the top of my maintenance.
12/16 - 144.5 - I'm just glad my weight didn't go any higher.
12/17 - 145 - Stress is getting to me. We found out last week that my husband may have bladder cancer. We should know more on the 28th when he has a cystoscopy. I'm right at that level of stress where I eat for comfort especially with all the Christmas goodies around. My husband has wanted some comfort food too and I'm not keeping him from that either. (He doesn't have a weight problem) Logically, I know food is not going to fix our issues, but I've decided I'm not going to beat myself up if I go over maintenance. I'll just keep tracking and staying mindful, so I don't have too much to lose after the holidays.
12/18 - 144.5 - Took the day off work today to clean my house and get a few things done before Christmas. My birthday is Sunday and we're doing a Zoom video call with multiple family members. Luckily, I only have to make sure the one room is really spotless for the call!
12/19 - 143.5 - I suspect this is a false low (sometimes my scale gets "stuck"), but I'll take it.
