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

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.

12/25 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!

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 -

Day/Weight/Comment
12/22 …..204.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/23 …..205.0 ….. Not too bad after a late night of baking. Now they are ready to be shared…..served for Christmas…..Eaten . Gotta keep control.
12/24 …..xxxxx ….. I didn’t get to weigh this morning. I woke up to the Septic company banging on my patio door. I quickly got dressed and grabbed my coffee. After days of a mysterious septic problem they found a massive root ball (the largest they had ever seen) just under the tank lid which was blocking anything from going in. After much work they cleared the problem and things are flowing again. Ah... the joys of learning a new house! I am trying to remain grateful for my blessings. I am thrilled (and lucky) they were willing to come out on Christmas Even from 25 miles away! Yesterday consisted of very well-planned meals but there were some cookies…… We’ll see what the scale holds in the morning. Will it whisper or will it shout? More baking today.
12/25 …..205.4 ….. Merry Christmas Everyone! Sharing is Caring so I want to share with everyone that I just concretely found out that making a small saucer of cookies your lunch and skipping all the calories in the normal lunch foods DOES NOT keep you from gaining weight. Up 0.4 in the last two days. It could have been worse, but it should have been better. Moving on…… Our family dinner and gift exchange will be on Sunday when everyone has the day off. I have enjoyed a special Christmas and gift opening morning quietly at home with my son this morning. To all of you..... I hope all people all over the world find health and peace and love today (including self-love) regardless of your location, orientations, nationalities or beliefs.
12/26 …..205.4 ….. Good meals. Bad snacks yesterday. Our family dinner is tomorrow.
12/27 …..203.2 ….. Whoosh! Christmas Dinner today with all my children and grandchildren. I don’t expect today’s weight to last over the next couple of days. However, I did try to do the math and have a good day yesterday to offset the day that is coming today.
12/28 …..205.2 ….. And back up it goes again after our major Christmas Dinner yesterday. I didn’t really think I ate very much in quantity and I kept the desserts down to practically nothing. However, there was 2 glasses of wine and a lot of very salty and starchy foods. Let’s hope the scale is kinder tomorrow. Lazy clean-up day today. Not much else.
12/29 …..206.0 ….. 4 glasses of wine later, I am left wondering what happened? Okay… I get it. Even with careful planning of meal leftovers and cookies snacks kept small, wine has calories and carbs. I’m just trying to not waste the leftovers. (This is what growing up poor does to you!)
12/30 …..xxxxx …..

01/01 …..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 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!
Dec 19 – No dancing. Wrapped all day the presents from my Christmas haul.
Dec 20 – No dancing because a workman was here most of the day and evening. But I got in LOTS of housecleaning!
Dec 21 – Two very slow workmen here yesterday. Left at 9:30 pm No dancing but I tried to stay fairly active organizing.
Dec 22 – 10 minutes.
Dec 23 – 20 minutes of dancing. A little ticked off to see some of my songs have been removed from the free alexa musical list!
Dec 24 – Nope. Company all day. It must be the holidays!
Dec 25 – 15 minutes of dancing madness.
Dec 26 – No Dancing. Just lots of cleaning and baking in preparation for our Family Christmas tomorrow.
Dec 27 – Christmas Dinner and party. No exercise.
Dec 28 – A rest day. Exhausted after all the work for the Crhistmas party yesterday. All day Jammies.8 -

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.

12/23 166.8 ~ {Steps 9,822} ~ Watching my grandkids so my main goal today is to get a short walk in this afternoon when it warms up. Also make healthy food choices, I check back later this evening....I decided to make cookies for Santa with my 5 year old granddaughter. After that it went down hill but it was sooo worth it given the the scale spike.
12/24 167.7 ~ {Steps 12,248} ~ We went to my daughters on Christmas Eve, unfortunately I didn’t care about what I ate, 😈😢
12/25 168.7 ~ {Steps 3,587} ~ Nothing exciting unfortunately on Christmas we decide not to cook a whole turkey dinner so we had cheeseburger. No exercising, on the bright side I didn’t eat my emotions, yay for me.
12/26 168 {Steps 11,693} ~ Consistently is the key, late night snacks gets the best of me everytime.
12/27 167.9 {Steps 11,485} ~ Spent the day, just couldn’t get my mojo going, besides a morning walk nothing else. I did have a zoom meeting up group with my brother and 3 sisters plus a couple close friends.
12/28 167.7 {Steps 14,031} ~ Today was a much better day, I definitely need to keep a positive attitude. I don’t have control over other peoples actions, just mine, 👍👍

So I had a few minutes this afternoon, so I thought I would try and catch up on today's posts, and would start from my early morning post. Nope! I never posted. Matches this week perfectly.....2

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

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 – 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.

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?
Yep, I'm in, will have a think over the next few days about what my goal will be. Loving the logo, you're sooo clever.
I too think the logo is great and represents the Give-me-10-days group. I am giving thought to what goals I should set!4 -
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
@musicsax - shouldn't your 6.93 miles give you more calorie credit than 206? That sound low to me, and even scaling it off your 12/28 numbers, it sounds low.0 -

12/29 -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!
Wow, that's a long conference! It's nice he moved into the garage though!
He works in the pharmaceutical world and Jan 1 is when everything rolls over (reset systems and such for deductibles, changes in insurance/coverage, etc). He isn't necessarily "working" the entire time, but he's on call and has to have his WebEx room open during that timeframe so he can assist (he's the SME, subject matter expert, on several different topics so he was volunteered to work it alongside his normal work which is M-F, 9-5). Its an annual thing, but "conference" is the best way I know how to put it. In past years, they traveled to work centers but this year is very different so their solution is different (and he can sleep in his own bed which he's super happy about!)5 -

12/27 - Did not weigh, stuck to plan!
12/28 - Did not weigh, stuck to plan! So I haven't been able to post for a bit, but I am pleased to say that I have been able to navigate the weather that has made running hard and the anxiety that come with that! Steady and slow...steady and slow....
12/29 - Sticking to the plan! BUT I did get weighed...it was 136.5 lbs. That is fine!6 -
Between Solstice and Christmas, I have a tradition, I take time to reflect on where I'm at, I try not to judge myself, I don't start any new projects, and I let go of my goals, I just am - for a little while
It's been a really tough year and I might need the whole round to find the stability I want to start 2021 with, so I won't declare any goals for this round but I will still be monitoring my weight, KJ intake, and pre-planning my food (and of course reading all the JGMTD posts!)
Previously...
133 = 205/93 - 200.6/91

Christmas Eve! This is not a drill!
12/25 = 89
The most wonderful day of the year.
12/26 = 90
12/27 = 90.5
Experiment Fail.
I don't feel relaxed, my asthma and digestive issues are out of control... I think I made a mistake in setting my eating plan aside over Christmas, I guess I was still thinking about it as a weight loss goal, or a diet, instead of a change to my lifestyle which supports my health.
I'll do better today.
Over kj yesterday but better than the day before, and an improvement in food choices, I'll do better again today, baby steps.
Why is it so hard to build healthy habits and so easy to return to unhealthy ones?
I'll aim to get back to my pre-holiday daily kj intake target by the end of the round.
12/29 = 90
Inching closer day by day
Aim for today <6000kj.
12/30 = 89.5

Goals for this round:
- Continue to do yoga nightly
- Lose 1 lb - just 1!
12/23 - 133.6 - One more round for this year! I will be very happy to see 2020 go. My 5 year old is so excited for Christmas this year, and we are doing what we can to make it joyful for her. Today we’re making and decorating gingerbread people! Luckily, I’m not a huge fan of gingerbread, so less temptation for me to overindulge.
12/24 - 133.6 - And we’ll just keep holding here, I guess. I’d have liked a little bit more of a drop since I don’t plan to weigh-in or really track much tomorrow, but the number is what it is. Had a good day yesterday not eating the gingerbread cookies we made, and we went for a walk to look at lights after dinner. Our little guy got tired of the stroller 3/4ths of the way through, so he got piggyback rides the rest of the way. Good back and shoulder workout for me!
To all who celebrate it in this group, have a wonderful Christmas Eve tonight, and a very Merry Christmas tomorrow!
12/25 -DNW - Merry Christmas!
12/26 - 134.6 - Ok, that could have been much worse. We’ll see where the scale settles out over the next few days. Yesterday was amazing - chaos, but amazing. I let myself enjoy all the treats without tracking and certainly didn’t have time for a morning workout, though I did at least close my Apple Fitness rings by taking the dog for a long walk last night. Today - back to focusing on healthy eating and portion control. I started with only half a cinnamon roll for breakfast instead of a whole one, and 40 minutes of HIIT and strength training.
12/27 - 133.8 - Coming back down, and it’s even TOM which tends to push up the scale for me. I’m still enjoying some of our Christmas treats though - cinnamon rolls in the morning and peppermint cheesecake at night, plus so many cookies in the house - so I’m not expecting to see any major drops before New Years. I’m trying to get into a mental space where maintaining is ok, since the peppermint cheesecake is definitely worth it 😂
12/28 - 134.2 - Got a good dance and strength workout in this morning - I’m loving Apple Fitness+. I’m almost back on track now with my meal prep and tracking: I’ve got breakfast (strawberry banana overnight oats and a hard boiled egg) and lunch (chicken and wild rice soup) all set for the week, plus homemade granola bars for my snack. I do have one more serving of peppermint cheesecake left tonight - and I will enjoy every crumb before returning my focus to maintaining a solid deficit the rest of this week.
12/29 - 134.2 - Was hoping the scale would go down a little, but it’s ok. I did a solid 45 minutes of Ring Fit this morning, and we took the kids for a walk too. I’m back to having one little treat each day, and I’ll be freezing some of the remaining cookies/treats to remove the temptation.

01/01
Goal: At least 15 minutes of yoga before bed each night
12/23 - Nearly fell asleep on the couch at 10 last night, but managed to do a 10 minute mindfulness video before going to bed early.
12/24 - Finished up all the wrapping last night - didn’t make time for yoga. Not going to happen tonight either, with everything we have to set up for tomorrow.
12/25 - Merry Christmas!
12/26 - Too tired to do anything but collapse last night - definitely got to get back into this habit tonight!
12/27 - 15 minutes of calm yoga before bed puts me in a much better mood for sleep
12/28 - 20 minutes of yoga
12/29 - Neck and back were really sore last night, so I did a yoga program intended to help loosen them up.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

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.”

12/30 - 211.0 lbs - moved my scales today, yesterdays was because the scale was on the edge of the tile!
I though it was a re-start whoosh, but alas, no. Very happy to see the numbers starting to go down again though.

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!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

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.

12/28 133.2 – 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.

@musicsax - shouldn't your 6.93 miles give you more calorie credit than 206? That sound low to me, and even scaling it off your 12/28 numbers, it sounds low.
I eat back some of my exercise calories so 206 is the number left over - my Fitbit told me that I earned 571 calories, but I ate 365 back!! Doing the mileage allows me to eat a bit more than my bod otherwise needs!! But that is only one of the reasons why I do it, it's good for my mental health getting out in the fresh air, it's the time I do my planning, problem solving, meditating, getting at one with and apreciating nature, I get my me time then, but I also enjoy sharing it with my DH when he's not at work. I love walking!!3 -
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

- 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.
