SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113-> 113.8 ->114.6 -> 113.6 -> 115.8-> 116 -> 115.6
Goal weight for this round: Seeing 114 again would be fantastic! Or maintain would be cool too with all the goodies I’ll be eating around Christmas.
Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days12/29 118.8 I’m hoping this is because of where I’m at in my cycle. Not a fan of that high of a number. This week I should be able to weigh daily because my husband is waking up earlier and not trying to go back to sleep and then next week he starts his clinical fieldwork. I did some reflecting on this number at the end of my yoga routine this morning and I decided that I’m ready to release this weight. I remember thinking back in October when I was right around 112 and wondering if I was getting too little. I don’t think I was, it was just a place that I wasn’t used to so it felt weird to me. I think I just have to get back there and get used to it. In November, my birthday hit, and my weight went up from there because of way too many indulgences for too many weekends in a row. I’m looking forward to the present and future with the holiday indulgences now behind us. I’m ready to change my mindset and think of it as releasing weight…that way it has a lower chance of coming back, right? Whelp, that’s my take on things this morning. Have a happy Tuesday!
Day/Weight/Comment
12/23 I think I’m going to take this round as a check in round and not focus on weighing. My husband and I decided that New Year’s weekend, we’ll do a 2 day fast to kind of reset and refocus what we want to get from the new year. We’ll also take a 2-day break from our phones and the internet. We did this once a couple years ago and it was challenging but so worth it. I’ll fill my time with reading, coloring, meditating, stretching and yoga.
12/24 Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Today will be a day of baking and indulging a little bit. I plan on making my father in law a batch of whole grain ginger molasses cookies, chocolate brownie/meringue cookies for my sister in law, and key lime pie for my mother in law, husband and me. Then, I am also planning to make cinnamon rolls for breakfast tomorrow morning for my husband and me. I got the cinnamon roll recipe from my aunt who makes them every holiday for breakfast. 30 years later and I’m finally trying it out for myself! So, we shall see how that goes 😊. I’m going to try and eat light today because I know I’ll be sampling the goodies as I make them.
12/25 Did not post.
12/26 Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas if you celebrate it. My husband and I had a nice quiet morning eating the cinnamon rolls I made (they came out delicious!) and munching on a bit of key lime pie as well. Then, around 1 we headed to my in laws to swap gifts and goodies on the porch. After, we headed home to eat and then, open presents virtually. I do have some sweet treats to finish up but after that, I’ll enjoy the healthier food we have in the fridge. The one good thing about Christmas dinner is that it’s a lot lighter than Thanksgiving. She made a pot roast with carrots and onions, some ravioli with meatballs and sauce, mashed potatoes and green peas. I think I feel like its lighter at least because I can portion it easily and it’s food I’m less likely to eat a lot of. I’m not sure what’s on the agenda for today except some straightening up around the house and laundry. Looking forward to a chill couple of days. I do plan on jumping on the bike later this morning to burn a few of the sweets off lol.
12/27 Did not post.
12/28 Felt really tired yesterday and had to adventure to the vet with our kitty. I think the three days of unhealthyish eating really hit me. Going from eating pretty healthy to blehck a few days really made me realize how much food effects your energy levels. For the first time I think ever, I finished a bike ride on Saturday and thought that I could have lived without it because it just felt so hard and unenjoyable/ I was super tired afterwards. I’m feeling a little different today and did some yoga to start my morning. Today, the food will be much healthier and I’m looking forward to feeling better because of it.
12/23 I just did a 30 minute Christmas pop spin bike workout and my husband and I plan on going for a walk at a local nature reservation this afternoon.
12/24 Did a 25 minute yoga video this morning and had fun trying crow pose. I also realized my body and core are stronger than I thought because I did this side plank variation where you balance on one leg and grab your free knee with your hand. I thought I was going to fall during it but managed not to! I might give myself a break from the spin bike today…not quite sure. I know I could use the extra burn from it though. Maybe in between baking I can squeeze a ride in?
12/25 Did not post and didn’t do any activity.
12/26 Started my morning with a 30 minute HIIT Vinyasa flow yoga video. It was surprisingly more intense than I thought it would be, which was fun. I broke a bit of a sweat at one point 😊. I plan on attempting a 60 spin bike ride later this morning.
12/27 Didn’t do any activity.
12/28 Started my day with a 20 minute yoga video designed to help wake you up and get you ready for the day. I plan on doing a 20 or 30 minute bike ride later on today.
12/29 35 minute yoga video this morning and want to do a 30 minute spin bike workout during my lunch today.

As I think about my goals for the coming year (and beyond), I've gone back and opened up some “Spoilers” on some of the posts in this forum. You folks are amazing! I just want you to know what a true inspiration you are to me. It gives me hope that a slow weight loss might lead to the ability to maintain over a longer period of time than my own personal experience has been. I’ve dropped the weight before, but turned around and gained waaay too much of it back. I don’t want to do that again. I want to develop a lifestyle where I can lose the weight and then have the self-control to maintain within a small window. @musicsax, @TerriRichardson112, @quiltingjaine, all of you give me hope that that may actually be possible!
So, given that, I think these will be my goals:
Goal Weight by 12/31/21 <165
Goal Weight and Maintenance by 12/31/22 (hopefully sooner) <155
January Exercise Goals:
Exercise Bike—100 miles
Walking--50 miles (outside or with walking workout videos if weather is bad)
Hiking--at least one hike in the mountains during January (good for my soul)

Day/Weight/Comment
12/23 177.4 I am not eating the way I should. I was in the groove before Mom’s unexpected illness and death, but now, I’ve not worked my way back to that state of mind yet. Lots of cooking and baking to do the next two days, so I’m just hoping not to blow too much of my progress. I’m doing an IF today, so I’m hoping that will help get me centered again.
12/24 178 UGH! I almost didn’t come on to post this today. But I am here despite my reluctance, so that’s an NSV, isn’t it? I had sushi and wonton soup for dinner and didn’t realize until afterwards just how much sodium there is in that!! If I drink lots of water today and be mindful about what I eat, perhaps I can send this the other direction tomorrow. That would be a small win, so let’s go for that! It's pouring rain today, so any exercise I get in will have to be indoors. You know what? The more I sit here and think about what to type, the madder I get at this number. Let's see where that takes me today!!!
12/25 177.6 is a small victory for me! Merry Christmas! I hope it signals a mindset shift. We had 3 inches of snow yesterday afternoon/evening which has given us a rare thing here in the South—a WHITE CHRISTMAS! It’s all still here this morning, and it is so very beautiful!
12/26 177.6 Wow! Wasn’t expecting that, even though I did try to keep things managed yesterday! I did enjoy breakfast and late lunch on Christmas. But that was the last meal, only had a couple nibbles late in the day, and drank lots of water. High yesterday was 25 degrees. Brrr. That’s COLD for here. All our snow is still hanging around. Not sure how my northern friends stand this stuff ALL winter. Blessings to you all!
12/27 179.0 Whoa! This is totally unexpected except for the fact that I could NOT get enough water yesterday and even asked my husband if he put a lot of salt on the steaks. My food choices were definitely not this bad yesterday. I supposed it could be some of the Christmas stuff just now showing up, but I hope it’s water. I leave today to go back to my Dad’s to spend the week.
12/28 No scales…totally forgot to grab my scales before I left home. Scrounged around here at Dad’s house and found an old scale, but I have to buy one of those little round, flat batteries for it today.
12/29 177.8 on Dad’s scale. That’s a little better at least!

12/23 6-mile hike in the Smokies—Geez that felt SO good!!! Those mountains are good for my soul!
12/24 1.3-mile walk with pup and stroller yesterday afternoon.
12/25 10-mile exercise bike session followed by lots of additional steps for the day
12/26 10.5-mile exercise bike ride
12/27 10.7-mile exercise bike ride; will take a quick ride before I get ready this morning so I can meet the bike goal I set for the challenge.
12/28 5-mile exercise bike ride to MEET MY BIKING GOAL for the challenge! Also did 2.82 mile walk after driving to NC
12/29 4.1-mile walk which has me sore this morning.
12/30
12/31
01/01
Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 76.36 WALK
Total Bike Miles toward Goal: 105.13 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.4 -
Let's be thinking about our goals for January as we move into a new year. There are lots of 30-day challenges out there, or you can create your own or continue with a previous fitness goal and track it here. The "goal" is to train together to meet our own individual needs because we are all in such different places in our journeys. This is not a competition between group members, but a way to encourage each other to strive toward our own fitness targets. Who is up for the challenge?
I would be interested in that. I’m already reviewing my goals and deciding what my next phase will be.

12/29 - 148.1 - Expected from heavy dinner. Perfectly okay with it. We got to pick up the deer we shot and had processed at a new place yesterday. Decided to try their sausage and it was goooooood. Heavy, though. Hit a mile-thick cement wall of sleepiness yesterday at about 2pm and never could shake it. Went to bed at 840. Fitbit says I finally fell asleep at 915 or so and I don't remember BF coming to bed. I was OUT. Woke up at 130am and had to toss and turn to get comfy then was out again. Took nearly a minute of my alarm going off for me to realize it was time to wake up! Normally I'm already awake or in light enough sleep it'll shock me awake immediately. Guess I really needed it. Still have a bit of lingering headache from Sunday when I had the migraine. Didn't go past a small ache yesterday so hoping same for today. Ear is tender so makes me wonder if I have the most minor ear infection causing it. I'll keep taking precautions and doing what I need to keep things healthy.

Previous Day's Comments12/23 - Surprised I'm not up! Homemade burgers last night and I piled mine HIGH. Couldn't finish it and I was absolutely stuffed. Feeling a bit bloated, too. Tonight is pizza since we are driving out of town to go drive through the light festival. I'll have to watch what I have for lunch and not go overboard with pizza or I'll be seeing the 150s again, no doubt. Fasted 16hrs yesterday. Dinner was late and BF wanted to make french toast for all of us for breakfast. Hopefully its more of a Brunch than breakfast - late dinner pushes my 16hrs to noon today...
12/24 - Bouncy bouncy but glad its bouncing down. Only fasted just shy of 14hrs yesterday (breakfast with kiddos). Today should be better. Pizza was only 1 slice and we finished early. No snacking despite kids snacking all night in front of me. A win! Barely made 75oz water, but I did! Making banana nut bread by request of kids right now. Was requested for me to make my homemade bread for Christmas dinner tonight so I have the dough cooling from the fridge while banana nut bread bakes. 2 loaves of regular, 1 of gluten free for the families that requested. It makes me happy that my bread attempts are so well liked. I love to bake and I love to gift others with my creations so its such a win-win for me. Especially around Christmas - its a gift to me to have been asked to make it! (in love languages, I'm a words of affirmation and this definitely applies and fills my heart).
12/25 - Merry Christmas! That's a late Christmas dinner and needed more water. All good.
12/26 - Christmas lunch/dinner (Linner?) Plus, not enough water again, though better than the day before. Really need to up that. Kids already on the way to their mom's. So quiet in this house now. Need to get my yoga in before I get too distracted and end up not doing it.
12/27 - Um..... what? Maybe delayed bloating? Don't feel/look particularly bloated. Maybe its water weight from finally getting my intake back to 75oz? Fasted 18hrs yesterday. Should easily hit 16hrs, hoping to push it to lunch for 18+, especially with this increase.
12/28 - I had a severe migraine yesterday that also ended with sharp pain through my ear. Took an accidental nap when I curled on the couch with a hot corn sack on my ear. Definitely didn't get water and calories in due to that. Water was close, though, as I drank a ton (including having to get out of bed twice to pee!) in the evening. I estimate just barely shy of 64oz. Better now, though still being cautious in case its the start of an ear infection. Fasted 18 hrs. Dinner was on the earlier side so another opportunity for 16+hr fast today. Also TMI should be showing up any day. Wondering if yesterday's weight was a little hormone fluctuation due to that... I'm feeling/looking a bit bloated today and I definitely believe hormones are the cause. No problem, that's normal and will be over by the end of the week (:

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.
12/20 -Kids awake before me and on playstation/tv so no way for me to get to my YWA videos. Hopefully, tomorrow and Tuesday I can knock some out since I'll be awake so early for work. Can't imagine anyone but the daughter would be awake THAT early. Even she might not, despite being a morning person. If I can find a place to do it, I will try to sneak one in during the day off my phone -- space is NOT on my side when kids here.
12/21 -Another day I couldn't get a practice in. Nobody awake yet so I'm about to pull up a video on the tv and knock it out. Only working today and tomorrow so I have to figure out how to get them done before kiddos wake up and take over tv Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. They will go home early Saturday so I'll be home alone all day and then back to just BF and I which I can hide in kids room to practice if need be (especially since gifts hidden in her room will be out of my way)
12/22 -I did one! I didn't want to, but I did it. And I'm searching for one to knock out this morning even though I only want to sleep instead. Must. Meet. Goal. Must. Meet. Goal. Must. Meet. Goal.
12/23 -Managed to sneak one in despite my sleepiness. Today is a little more difficult since kids up before me. Will try to get something done, though.
12/24 -Didn't manage to sneak one it. Hopefully in between bread making I can sneak something in today. It'll be short, but its better than nothing!
12/25 -Got a short one done in between baking bread! Wasn't much, but every little bit counts.
12/26 -Didn't get the chance to. Rushed like crazy and then the daughter wouldn't leave my side.
12/27 -Got a nice easy one in. Aiming for repeating it as my hammies are really tight and sore, no idea why.
12/28 -I did get a repeat in yesterday and the hamstring stretch felt amazing. Need to figure out one this morning. Refreshing stretch sounds really good. As does breathwork. YWA announced January she is focusing on breathwork practices for her month-long journey. Definitely will be checking that out. SO CLOSE TO GOAL!Did another nice practice yesterday. Wasn't feeling it the absolute most, but I got it done. Last one to meet my goal today if I can get motivated enough. Still waking up right now but I've got a bit of time before BF wakes up. Plus, he moved his office into the garage for his upcoming 3 week conference (has to be on video and doesn't want me to have to isolate since its 6am-9pm minimum hr, even weekends) so I can always do it when he's working now without interrupting him or his work!

Happy New Year and Good Bye! to 2020....This will be a challenging 10 days beginning and ending with holidays- the alpha and omega of challenges for me.
Goals
- Log every day as well as possible - so many recipes and treats
- Close all 3 rings of apple watch - move and exercise 3x
- Weigh myself even when I do not want to know!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/23- 122.4 My husband and I were just talking about how great dinner was last night- all 4 of us in kitchen, experimenting and cooking together. No way on earth know how to track that dinner, but the love and and quality time will be remembered forever. Foresee this as the challenge these next 10 days, will need to find a balance.
12/24- 123.4 I know this is bloat but it still just plays with your mind. My kids made dinner last night, homemade pizza, delicious. And as reported last round ,my cute little neighbor has started a trend in my cul-de-sac- what started as one devious child dropping off cookies has metastasized into everyone now dropping off goodies...So what is a neighbor to do... We made cookies last night to distribute today. Was so proud of myself I think I only had 1 molasses cookie and no chocolate chip- I really feel I deserve to be weighing less as proof of my restraint, but alas.
12/25-122.8
12/26-122.4
12/27-123.0 Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I ate wonderful food, missed my extended family and enjoyed my immediate family. Hope I have not done to much damage. I received a ham when I volunteered at Salvation Army, opened it up and ground half to make a hash, it was exceptionally salty to taste, and I didn't add any salt. Still delicious served with an egg and leftover brussel sprouts but am exceptionally thirsty and wondering if I am bloated or becoming bloated...Will be interesting to figure this out.
12/28- 121.0 Well did not see this coming- Yeah! Honestly I just jumped off the scale, scared it could be wrong and will not weigh again until tomorrow, I am running with this.We did run out of cookies and treats Saturday night, when I may have finished the last cookie so just removing that temptation could have made the difference.
12/29- 122- Good news accidentally erased initial comment-better left unsaid. Mmmm, scale fluctuations flummoxed me! Despite eating a horrible tasting but healthy dinner last night (tried new recipe from a former favorite and formerly trusted cookbook). Just eating that dinner should require a fraction lower!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/23: 177.5
12/24: 177.2 Will definitely see an spike up on the scale tomorrow. I've pre-logged my Christmas breakfast & dinner and I'm over by 1000 calories and that's just eating small, mindful portions and no snacking. It's my favorite meal of the year, so I will enjoy it and scale right back down the next day. My annual Cookie Exchange was not held this year because of Covid, so at least there are not a million delicious homemade cookies in the house. I've only made my husband's and daughter's favorites, and those don't tempt me! The weather is supposed to be miserably windy & heavy rain the next 2 days, so won't be able to get a run in to offset these extra calories but hope to walk on the treadmill (I can't run on a treadmill, find it miserable). Looking forward to a very happy Christmas with my husband & daughter & sending good cheer to all who are celebrating!
12/25: DNW, did not track calories, did not log....had a lovely, lovely day with my little family!
12/26: 177.4 Don't think this is an accurate number as I weighed in very late this morning (actually afternoon) and think my holiday extra calories are in limbo and haven't shown up on the scale yet. Going to go try to outrun them and get a few miles in outside today! Totally okay if the scale jumps up tomorrow, still will be 5 days to get everything back under control before this round ends!
12/27: 178.1 There's that holiday uptick I was expecting. But it was another late weight in, so this number still might not be accurate and go up again tomorrow. Got in a good run yesterday, was a beautiful if cold day, and enjoyed spending time with the family watching movies and still enjoying some delicious holiday foods (in moderation). The plan for today is a strength workout and a long fast/OMAD.
12/28: 179.4 This is my 1st weigh-in at my normal morning time since Christmas Eve, this seems about right for the expected holiday fluctuation. Now I have 4 more weigh-ins to get it back down. Have a run planned for today & its expected to be in the 40's which will make it a nice one! But need to check the weather for the rest of the week to see when to do my New Year's 5K, I think New Years Day is supposed to be bad weather.
12/29: 176.7 Yay! That's a scale fluctuation in the right direction! Now to keep that momentum going...

I went a little, but not too, crazy on my BD yesterday — pizza, cake, wine. 🥳 We do have leftover pizza for lunch, but I’ll have salad & yogurt for dinner, so should be ok. I’ve done no baking this year, though I will make a mince pie tomorrow because, hey, it’s Christmas and we need some traditional treat! And I LOVE mince (meat), with no actual meat. Luckily, DH is not a big sweets eater so he doesn’t mind that I didn’t fill the kitchen with goodies this year.
12/24 - 182 - 1539
Lots of salt yesterday. Lots of water today! I’m baking my one and only baked goody this morning — mince pie — and the house smells fabulous! Otherwise, we’re planning a very quiet Eve and Day, zooming our UU evening service of light, hope, and music, and reading Christmas-gift books. For all who celebrate, wishing you Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza— Peace to all!
12/25 - 182.4 - 1674
Merry Christmas! My mincemeat pie came out gorgeous — I’d share for real if I could, but this is the best I can do.
Wishing you peace, joy, health, and love.

Ho ho ho! I ate happily yesterday, and enjoyed everything. The high yesterday was 16F with a 1F windchill, so no walk, but a lovely day to curl up with a new book and a cup of tea.
12/27 - 184 - 2147
I had a bit of a pig out yesterday. We ordered out for lunch and pretty much nibbled the rest of the day — no real junk, but more sodium than usual, I think. I feel waterlogged. It’ll be fine. Now we return to our regularly scheduled program. 🖥
12/28 - 184 - 1901
High-calories week, but that was expected. I still feel bloated, so I’ll try for lots more water today. This week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is odd in the best of times, and this year it’s especially weird! I’m thinking of stringing lights around my office to cheerful things up pending spring. Maybe I’ll leave the tree up until April or so as well! Wishing you a peaceful, hopeful final week of this uproar of a year.

I’m working on a new approach, new attitude, since my obsessive tracking, counting, calculating have obviously done nothing but make me beat myself up for “failing.” I’ve been reading (listening to) Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribble and Self-compassion by Kristin Neff — and interesting combination — and am beginning to understand my eating and other patterns much better. I’ve decided to (try to) let go of weight goals and eventually let go of eating restrictions. I’m not quite ready to move entirely away from tracking, but I’ll be taking baby steps beginning now. I plan to weigh myself less frequently — the last day of each round seems appropriate, starting with R137. I also have set my calorie goal at approximately my TDEE based on 9 months of steady weight (within 2-3 pounds) and average calories. I’ll be aiming to mindfully eat satisfying meals that should eventually help me stop silly snacking, though I’m also going to try to stop scolding myself over food. I realized as I listen to the books that I was put on my first diet in 3rd grade, and have dieted on and off, and scolded myself about food even when not dieting, all my life. It clearly hasn’t worked long term, and I’m not going to spend the rest of my life making myself miserable over something that should be enjoyable. So, I’d like to keep checking in here because I find the group supportive, but I’m shifting my goals and approach (yes, again, but I’m determined to stick with this less rigid, less punitive approach). Thanks for “listening.”

12/23 195.2 This is hard week with junk food falling from the sky. I got to my desk to receive marshmallows, candy cane, and Lindt’s chocolate. My lack of sleep has made resistance difficult but I took a Tylenol PM last night and got a solid 7 hours!
12/24 195.9 No hugs. I am ok. I will get in some exercise today. I already did my 20 minute Zumba. I gave low calorie lunch planned today and then.
12/25 196.1 I did not sleep wind storm and I was afraid I could not hear the pitter patter of little feet but got in my morning Zumba before the kids woke up and destroyed my house. I did not have a Christmas brunch that started at 10.00am with ribs and mac and cheese cupcakes. I did not log my food today or yesterday.
12/26 197.1 Very lazy today with more gift giving and eating with my sister who brought so much stuff that I can’t think on how to catch up with cleaning and organizing. I did not do a workout at all, not even my morning Zumba.
12/27 197.1 Much better today, did my morning workout and even a quick walk/jog.
12/28 DNW
12/29 198.1 I only feel so bad about this because TOM is overdue by 3 days. So I am very bloated right now.

@playhardkf2017 I may have heard it at WW or elsewhere a decade ago but you don’t want to “lose” weight which implies it should be found, you want to “get rid of” it. Just a thought.4

12/25 MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎄 118.5 Traditional Christmas Eve pizza dinner with family last night. First time to hug DGS#1 since last Christmas. Eating around 7:30 due to DGD#4 working until 7. Today they are coming over for traditional Christmas morn sticky buns which we always had when we opened gifts. Steak dinner today with neighbor.
12/26 118.0 I tried to kill my phone yesterday by knocking over a cup of coffee. It seems to be okay. DGDs #1&2 arrive from Tulsa. I will try to catch up on messages in the next few days.
12/27 117.5 Family dinner
12/28 DNW Granddaughters based in bathroom with scale. I was on my feet all day yesterday in the kitchen, can’t believe it wasn’t more steps! Sat down to eat then back to the kitchen for clean up. I was exhausted but what a wonderful day and time we had.
12/29 118.5 I was s real slug yesterday. No planned meals but ate low carb leftovers because that is pretty much all we have!😛😁 I did eat 1 homemade dinner roll. In any case, it’s all good. I got over 8 hours of sleep last night! Unheard of!

I just need to tell myself that every day!6 -

That was me this weekend lol, my kitty sat on my lap multiple times for the first time ever, so it was so hard to make him move. He's usually a "sit next to you all curled up cat" versus a lap cat, so I was loving every second of it. I think he thought my stomach was the couch lol!6 -
