70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

On the 20th of October 2020 I was 220/100kg (had been for well over a year)
I made a goal for the 1st Jan: onederland

and while I had my up's (and up's) this round, I've made that goal

So now to make another wildly optimistic goal
20th March: under 176.3/80
The 70's are a number I don't know if my scale can even go to but I didn't believe in onderland either so what do I know, I'll leave it to science and keep my self-doubt out of it

Congratulations on meeting your Onederland goal! Great job!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 136 (round 68 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need this to help me keep grounded over Christmas! Thank you GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set up these challenges.

Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

Challenge for this round will be to stay under 133 during the festive period and then back into the 132s for the end of the round. I think that is reasonable considering it's Christmas and doable! Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, try to keep it in moderation, keep walking, no binges; remember keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!

12/23 131.8 – 10.61 walked yesterday incorporating day 1 week 6 C25K in 42.39 mins. 265 calories in credit. Happy Christmas Eve Eve everyone xxx !!



12/24 131 – wow! This is a new low for this year, last time I was this low was June 2019. 10.43 miles walked yesterday including day 2 week 6 C25K in 41.59 mins; 2 x 10 mins jogging with 3 mins recovery time in between, tomorrow is 25 mins run straight off!! no way yet; I intend doing 2 x 11 mins with 2 mins recovery inbetween – I have to build up to 25!! 303 calories in credit. Happy Christmas Eve
12/25 133.8 – well that's not a nice Christmas present!! So is this the scale playing with me, the chocolate, pizza, mulled wine or mince pie? Or a combination of both? Oh well, it's Christmas!! And today a rest from exercise, a chance to spend with our families which also means several hours travelling in the car, but the few hours with our grown up children and grandchildren will be precious. 9.88 miles walked yesterday incorporating 20 mins jogging and it didn't feel too bad!!
Happy Christmas to you all and your families, enjoy as best you are able. For those who have lost loved ones at this time I hope you can find peace and comfort in past memories, sending you and all those that have loved ones that are ill hugs and positive thoughts xx.
12/26 134.4 (uhh!) Such a wonderful day yesterday, treasure the memories! Back to tier 3 restrictions today, getting out for a good walk with DH. Enjoy your Boxing Day.
12/27 134 – 9.35 miles walked yesterday. 25 calories over, keeping extra goodies under control as best I can! 5 days to repair the festive damage.
12/28 133.2 – 8.47 miles walked yesterday. Woke up to falling and a covering of snow this morning, will have to rethink my planned exercise for the day, hope to still get out if the snow stops. 374 calories in credit.
12/29 133.2 – 6.93 miles walked yesterday in the snow. Looks like it will be a snowy walk again today. 206 calories in credit
12/30 132 – 7.66 miles walked yesterday, again in the snow and ice, such a winter wonderland and locely to see children with their sledges, making snowmen (some finished ones with their masks on!! hehe) and playing snow balls. They are making the best of a rare occurrence. 421 calories in credit. Just heard we might be moved up into Covid tier 4 later today



12/31 132 - 7.39 miles walked yesterday in icy snow again. Made the best of our last day in Tier 3 by meeting up half way in a park with our DS and family, don't know when we will be able to meet again as we are now in tier 4 . 387 calories in credit.
01/01 132.8 - hoping this uptick is due to high sodium in the mussels we had for lunch yesterday. 79 calories in credit. 10.53 miles walked yesterday again on the icy snowy pavements.
I didn't manage to stay under 133 over the festive period, but I am back down in the 132s for the end of the round so in my books thats a win! In fact I am finishing the festive period lower than I have for many a year, so I am as proud as punch of that !!!



So I didn't hit my 3,300 miles goal. Excuses? they are multiple, all beyond my control; this year has been a roller coaster exasperated by Corona virus, I'm not going to dwell on them, I'll be eternally grateful to you all in this group for the tremedous support you have given me, thank you so much xx.

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE . Keep calm – we're all in this together!

Don't you dare feel bad about not QUITE meeting a goal as ambitious as this one! My goodness. You walked over 3000 miles!!! I can't even imagine that! You do know that there is a big 365-mile challenge out there that people pay to be a part of, right? But not you! You shoot for 3300 and almost make it in the worst imaginable year!!! What an inspiration you are! I am so stinking proud of you!



Also, I've been meaning to ask where you are? What does Tier 4 mean for you and your family and neighbors? I hope it doesn't last very long.

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!
12/30 177.4 back to the first day of the round. Whew! I’m doing better with my eating, but here at Dad’s house there are still small indulgences. I’m working to keep them controlled though and working them into my calorie allotment.
12/31 177.6 I’m ok with this, actually wouldn’t have been surprised if it were more. Had a milkshake with Dad from Mom and Dad’s favorite restaurant yesterday in her honor. It was one of their simple pleasures, so we just did it. I’m going back home today and back to work on Monday, so I’ll hopefully be able to get back in the groove in the next couple days. No plans for NYE, so there won’t be any indulgences for that.
01/01 177.8 Back home on my scales now. Seems there wasn’t very much difference between the two sets of scales. I’m ready to get back in the groove now and pick up where I left off. Happy New Year, everyone!



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 2.6-mile walk
12/31 2-mile walk
01/01 1.2-mile walk in the rain after driving much of the day


Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 82.1 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.

Round 136 is going to be a challenge. Short cold days, combined with lots of food opportunities – X-mas day, eve, leftovers as well as New Year’s eve. Plus this round ends on New Year’s day, so little chance to “undo the damage”. So, goals for this round are to just purely do my best. Try to maintain my weight, be mindful in my eating (yes, I may be over on calories but by choice), and try to include more use of my elliptical for my exercise. It is a significantly harder workout than my walks, and keeps me off the icy, snowy roads.

Previous Goals

- Get under 150
- Get under 145 by my birthday (10/26)
- Get to pre-COVID weight from Feb 2020, 142.4

- Not gain over Thanksgiving,
- Get below 135
- Lose min 2 lb during December
- Walk/run to Sombrero B for sunrise photo
- Maintain losses of time in Florida

Round 136 – starting weight 132.0

12/23 – 132.8 Bad behavior (food) last night. Was dealing with late night wrapping and I got into “things”. All tracked. Not awful, and calories do not account for the uptick so I am assuming fluids from excess carbs and/or sodium. It’s a new day, today!

12/24 – 133.2 From a calorie perspective, this number is impossible as yesterday’s deficit was spot on. BUT yesterday I did break down and eat that last container of homemade pumpkin soup that, during last round, I wondered if it was not causing havoc with the scale. Delicious soup, just might not want to eat at the end of any round. :P Off to cooking and cleaning all day, delivery holiday food to my sheltering parents, and then hopefully have time for a quiet evening in front of the fire with hubby.

12/25 – 133.6 Continues to not reflect calories, but yesterday, with all the cooking, my back was already aching, then I delivered holiday food to my sheltering parents (Three types of stuffed shells with bechamel and sugo simplice) and found that they needed more shoveling done. Blasted it out, but could feel it in my back. Anyhow, advil and Tylenol may be to blame for the uptick. Going to just trust the process and my diary numbers and not worry about it.

Our quarantining guests (son, daughter, sil and grandson) are coming at 9:30. Jumped on the bike for a quick 25 minutes at 6 am, checking in with you all, and now heading to the shower.

Have a wonderful day, all! And Merry Christmas to those celebrating this holiday today!

12/26 – 133.8 Not bad since yesterday was the most calories I have consumed in a single day since September 14th, though the calorie overage would not be enough to even create a single real pound of fat. Today, is back to tracking and keeping under my target. Going to also gift myself to some outdoor walking time that has not been possible these past few days, for various reasons. Fully expect the scale to adjust to reality over the next few days.

12/27 – 133.4 (halfway through the challenge) Thought I would be seeing a better drop, given that some the of gains earlier in the round made no sense from a calorie point of view. Yesterday, I got outside again for the first time this round. It felt good. Interestingly, I can feel some soreness in those muscles today which surprises me because I thought may walking had become “routine” to me body. Good news is that walking is still challenging it.

12/28 – somehow, I never reported in on this day, and only noticed this on the 31st. It’s like I lost a day of my life…….

12/29 – 133.8 This is a crazy round. Yesterday, I did not deserve a loss and today, I did not deserve a gain. Just going to try and hang on for this round and for the new year. My January plan is to try and get to my goal number over the course of the month. Not unreasonable for a month’s time, I just already know that I have a lot of complications being thrown at me.

12/30 – 132.6 Interesting. I could feel the difference before stepping on the scale. So right now, I am up ½ lb for the round (Yay! For only ½ lb at this point). Before writing here though, I did do a math experiment and I compared my total calories since the beginning of the round to my Apple watch calculated TDEE. That calculation states I should have had a loss of ½ a lb during this round so far. Curious how the numbers will compare on the final day. I will check the math again then.

12/31 - 132.2 Very curious morning. So last night, DH and I had Chinese food, and I anticipated a sodium uptick. I did weigh out my Kung Pao Chicken (10 oz) and had one egg roll with hot mustard. No damage today and it was delicious! For the win. Other observation this morning it that my “automatic” walking speed is a little over 4 mph. At this point I can do that for long speed stretches and only stop due to time constraints or boredom. Yesterday, I tried pushing myself, like I had to do early in October in order to get back to my old 4 mph. Yesterday, I did over 5 miles at 4.44 mph, and used a song that I previously had to skip because the BPM was too fast for my legs. Shockingly, the song was actually fine, and I even repeated it 5 times, scattered throughout my walk to reset my pace when it slowed. Good walk, BUT this morning, I am feeling it in my glutes and thighs, which is a good thing. That means muscles are getting challenged.

1/1 – 132.0 Full circle this round and I really cannot complain. This round included so many stumbling blocks, yet I came out even. I’m ready to head into 2021, and I’m looking forward to this new year!

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!


SW:122.4
GW:121 anything - or under 123

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!
12/30- 121.8- Well I said my goal was 121. anything and looks like I may be able to keep that though ordering my husband and my favorite dinner to eat NYE- tons of sodium so 1/1 could be bad or I start the next round with a 3 + bloat for 3-4 days. Bison Meatloaf is worth it though.
12/31-119.8 Wow- did not see that coming!...I know CICO but this menopause thing is still really screwing with me.
01/01-121.6- If I had not had the blip yesterday I would be ecstatic about this number! I had a wonderful extremely salty dinner last night and am less the 2 days ago- and way under 123. Could not have done with out this thread, having a chance to be accountable helped me make healthy choices, like only 2 brownies last night rather than 5. Happy New Year to you all.

01/01 - 148.4 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!! TOM hit, finally. Cramps and bloating accounts for the increase, I'm sure. Feeling so puffy. Ah well, hormones are funny things. And despite it all, I'm still the lowest end weight I have been since March! Hopefully that's a good omen for the year ahead Got about 75oz water yesterday and fasted 17hrs. Made Italian Wedding Soup last night (only 1 of us has ever had it or heard of it) and it was a hit. I have leftovers for lunch the next couple days. Tonight I'm making BF's favorite parmesan garlic baked chicken with bacon asparagus and wild rice. Weather has me hurting bad. Yesterday afternoon I started having sharp pains in my ankle and through the night, if I moved, it'd start again with sharp pains. Enough to wake me up. Stayed in bed longer trying to rest and relax as much as I could. I didn't do anything to it, but its the ankle I've repeatedly injured (my floppy ankle, as I call it, due to tendon and ligament damage that never got fixed). No outward sign of anything wrong. No swelling or bruising so taking it as another one of the weather-change pains I must deal with. My back is also aching and shooting dull aches through my leg (same leg, my left side hates me) but that's normal when we have a very sudden weather shift. Stormed Wednesday night into Thursday and there was snow and sleet on Thursday afternoon so that is more than enough reason. Its my first winter since I tore my ankle again so I'm guessing its new because there's more damage to it. Taking it easy today - only plan is cooking dinner. Edit: Surgery was only an option when it was a new injury. Unfortunately, the army didn't catch that in time and by the time I could have it looked at elsewhere, it was too late. I'm sure there's something that can be done to help, but my insurance is through VA and Tricare and they haven't seen enough damage to pay for an "elective" surgery. Its stable enough I can function so I'm not terribly mad at it. I knew the consequences when joining the army and now I live with it. I don't regret it and it is quite tolerable when I listen to my body. Its the listening I sometimes struggle with haha!

Previous Day's Comments

12/23 - 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 (:
12/29 - 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.
12/30 - Ended up eating dinner out with a beer so I'm surprised to be down as much as I am. Though I stopped when full, not stuffed, and "brunch" was quite filling but also light. Managed 96oz water. Stayed up late watching Bohemian Rhapsody with BF and since I hadn't seen Rocketman, either, we watched that right after. Definitely calling for a nap today after that. So worth it. Making dinner on Thursday and Friday since everyone I know is doing this conference thing starting at midnight NYE. Also found a little local place that does pedicures/nails by appointment through COVID. Thinking of making an appointment on Saturday or Sunday. My poor feet are dry and cracking, as they do every winter. My normal lotioning routine just doesn't cut it! Corn Huskers lotion, working hands, etc. Nothing seems to help. But somehow the nice soak with a scrub does the trick. Hopefully this place has something similar to what I have done in the past that seems to help. My entire family has foot issues (grandma just had her 6th foot surgery on Dec 3. No thank you!) so I think its best I take care of myself now before things get out of hand. When we move into a larger house/have more space/storage, I want to get my own massaging foot soaker so I can do pedicures myself at home instead of paying. Alas, there is absolutely no space for one of those in my life right now. At least there's a place open and following COVID protocol to help a girl out. Plus there's something nice about starting the year off with a little relaxing self care. Hopefully it'll set the pace for the rest of 2021
12/31 - Really shocked, heavy dinner last night and I went back for seconds. But felt full/satiated and not stuffed after the 2nd plate so my body needed the extra. Went for my grocery haul before New Year's hours and the "winter storm" hitting today. Store was an absolute madhouse and took twice as long for me to get my list and get out. Pushed me to 19.5hr fast, though. Only got 64oz but did NOT want to have to get up in the middle of the night as it may be my last chance to sleep in for 20 days and get good rest (with the sound of nature's symphony, too!) Had beautiful thunderstorms last night and today is supposed to be rain turning into snow later. Then "suddenly ending for very dry sunny conditions for New Years Day" 2020's last hurrah, I guess? That or the weather people writing these are having fun with it.

I believe I will be doing stretching. For stress buildup relief (mainly back and shoulders), for flexibility, and to maintain good joint health. I want to do 15 days of dedicated stretching (yoga or on my own) and daily incorporation of something. Example: while I cook tonight, I may try to do a few toe touches to get a good hammy stretch when I bend to peak the oven to check on chicken. Its not much, but doing daily will still help!

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment

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.

12/26 - 184 - 1901
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.”

Miserable day here — rain now, freezing rain headed our way. Glad I grabbed the milk and eggs yesterday! I did very well with my new approach yesterday — meditated 20 minutes (and remembered how good I felt when I meditated regularly a few years ago), ate satisfying meals and felt no urge to snack until late, when I had some popcorn. Also got a short walk in and slung my dumbbells every time I was in the bathroom. All good.

Good if slightly salty day yesterday. I meditated twice, short sessions as I work back into the practice, and felt very calm afterward. I just joined a free 21-day meditation challenge through Dan Harris’s Ten Percent Happier website/blog. I finished listening to Intuitive Eating (free with Audible membership if anyone is interested) and I’m already paying more attention to what I’m eating and why. I don’t see myself stopping all tracking, but I am going to try not to be ruled by the numbers, nor label foods “good” and “bad,” nor weigh myself so often. Out with the old, in with the new! Be safe tonight, everyone! Skeedaddle, 2020!

All good, especially for birthday-Christmas-NewYear round. I had a couple of glasses of wine last night, which bumped my calories up, and that’s ok. I did two regular meditation sessions and one guided Loving Kindness meditation. Although our outside world will be as it is for a while longer, I feel hopeful as 2021 begins. Happy New Year, all! May you be well, content, and whole.




Goals for 2021 — Meditate most days. Walk most days. Eat mindfully.

@SModa61 I’m with you on the time warp theory! The last couple of weeks I haven’t known WHAT day it was! Last Tuesday I was at our DD’s and for some reason my head thought it was Sunday. I think it’s due to all of this lockdown time. It’s messing with our heads!!!

I need to find that book in my closet so I can finish it. I had no idea there was a website/blog! I have to go check this out. THANK YOU!

You’re welcome, @CamandJarvis . I really like Dan Harris’s podcast. My two other favorites for science-based, health-related discussions are Feel Better, Live More with Dr. Rangan Chatterjee and the NPR Life Kit.

12/29 -160.2. I’ve been consistently getting my workouts in, and not eating terribly (plenty of room for improvement though lol) but I’m not worrying too much about it over the holidays.
12/30- 159.6. Lots of exercise yesterday as I finished my workout then took the Christmas tree down.
12/31- 157.6 stayed under calorie budget and exercised. Downloaded a water drinking app to help me drink more water. I LOVE coffee and sip on it all day everyday. Time to scale that back and actually drink a glass of water. Hope the app helps with that.
01/01 156.8. That’s at 3.2 loss this round to start 2021. Hopefully a predictor of a better year. If not a predictor, a darn good motivator! Pretty typical for me to lose that much when I ‘start again’. Also not entirely trusting the scale as a had a looong sleep in and weighed in about 3 hrs later than usual. But... still feels great!


Happy New Year!
