@quiltingjaine Wow! I am so sorry. You really did mean it when you stated your kitty does not like sharing space. Could he/she chill in another room for a bit, or can you access another room yourself. Maybe even a yoga mat in the bathroom, depending on the bathroom floor space?3 -
@deepwoodslady, I'm telling you, the longest half hour of the fast was 12-12:30. Just about to have my coffee and brunch😄 Thank you. I'm working on it.5

Goals for this round:
- Refocus on weight loss after being at maintenance over Christmas and New Year’s
- Begin 30-day plank challenge
- Decide on personal and health goals for 2021
01/02 - 134.6 - Ok, there’s the impact of New Year’s Eve/Day. It’s ok - some of it is water, and and for anything that isn’t - I have my meal plan for the week, lots of fun new workouts to do, a plank challenge for the month and a goal weight to hit by April! I’m excited for 2021!
01/03 - 134.6 - Did a boxing workout this morning that really got me sweating! Today is meal prep day - making egg muffins, overnight oats, lunch for the week and granola bars for snacks. The scale will go back down soon - just need to be patient.
01/04 - 133.4 - Now it really is back to normal life - DH is back to work and we’re starting up homeschool again for my daughter. It’s a cold, grey day here, which doesn’t bother me too much but does make it hard to entertain two kids when they don’t want to get dressed and go play in the rain. I’ve already entered all my pre-planned meals and snacks for today into MFP - hopefully that will help me stick to them!
01/05 - 133.2 - I’m cautiously looking forward to getting below 133. I’ve been this close before, but I could go right back up tomorrow. Trying to trust the process - I know I’m burning calories and eating at a deficit. Rest day on my plank challenge, but I did 30 minutes of strength training and 20 minutes of boxing/cardio.
01/06 - DNW - Daughter woke up complaining of pain and not feeling well this morning. I don’t think it’s serious (and zero chance it’s COVID) but it completely threw our morning routine off. I didn’t get a chance to work out or weigh this morning like usual. I did manage my plank, at least! Hopefully we’ll be back to normal tomorrow.
01/07 - 131.8 - Wow! I doubt that number will stick, but it was so nice to see it on the scale this morning. I stayed up late last night but still made sure to get up early to work out. I did a dance and a strength workout, and made sure to do my plank!
01/08 - 132.2 - Little bounce, completely expected. Yesterday was a tough day snacking-wise. I was just hungry all day! It wasn’t just candy/sugar - I was eating extra chicken, veggies and fruit too. I figure my body was telling me it needed some extra fuel. I did some yoga and a HIIT workout this morning - I made sure to get my plank in there too, though it was tough when I was already so tired.

1/2 - 1839
We had freezing rain all day yesterday, so worth your bones to walk out there. I had a nice NYD, though, with two meditation sessions, some reading, some knitting while listening to podcasts, some kitty cuddling. I might take down the Christmas decorations today, although I do like the tree lights on these gray, gloomy days. I had to remind myself not to step on the scale this morning! I think I’ll set something on it or over it as a reminder. Such a habit! Enjoy your Saturday!
1/3 - 1620
Eating satisfying meals is definitely making me less inclined to snack at night. I did have popcorn last night, more out of habit than hunger, but I haven’t done any random snacking in several days. Hit my goals for calories and meditation. It’s supposed to be above freezing most of the day, so the ice will melt and I should be able to go for a walk without risking my neck — or butt! Happy Sunday!
1/4 - 1835
I haven’t yet driven the snack-at-night monster completely into hiding, but I think I’m making progress. At least I’m more mindful of what I’m doing, which I think is the first step. Some days I’m snack free; last night, not so much. But today’s a new day. Today is also the start of the Ten Percent Happier 21-dat meditation challenge, which is where I’m going from here. I did meditate yesterday, so I’ve been meeting that goal. Yay!
1/5 - 1720
Better snack control yesterday. I’ve been listening to the Audible edition of Self-compassion by Kristin Neff, PhD, and recommend it highly. I very much value science-based work and have a finely tuned b.s. meter, and Dr. Neff’s work meets the standard. I’m working to implement much of what she says in my weight/eating world as well as work, the two realms being not entirely unrelated!, and find myself much more conscious of what I’m doing or not doing and some of the reasons. Daily meditation is helping, too. And turning off the news! 😎
1/6 - 1627
DH had to go out early this morning and I got to sleep in way later than usual. 🛏 It was great! Now to catch up on my usual “morning things.” Hoping you all find some “me time” in your day.
1/7 - 1519
Somehow I managed not to eat my way through yesterday — I was busy & offline until about 4, then frozen in front of the tv until MUCH later.
1/8 - 1729
A bit caloric yesterday, but today is better. I’m meeting my meditation goals, am mostly mindful while eating, and have walked at least a little every day in spite of the cold.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 170.1 Can’t believe the NYE drop held. Still think it may be hard to maintain this round but dang determined to trade that 7 for a 6 now.
1/3 - 170.4
1/4 - 172.1 the drop rebounded. So weird. Struggled thru my first exercise video in a long time yesterday. Left me feeling sore today. Didn’t log my food so can’t look back and see where I went wrong. But today is a new day!
1/5 _ 171.1 My scale is psycho. It can't be anything I'm doing. lol Ice storm sagas continue in the Midwest. No power last night meant early bedtime! Appreciating the electricity this a.m.
1/6 - 171.0
1/7 - 170.2 Almost back to where I started this round. Still no explanation for the weirdness of my ups and downs this round. Maybe it's related to my bod adjusting back to IF.
1/8 - 169.5 got my six to replace the 7! May mean nothing but my usual 16:8 fast accidentally turned into 18:6 due to my work schedule. Does anyone else who does IF have any experience with results when eating in a shorter time frame?

Does anyone else who does IF have any experience with results when eating in a shorter time frame?
Although I've been horrid about it this week (getting under 16hrs more often than not), I actually do better and see less bloating when I fast 17-18hrs. It was only when my work schedule forced me to fast for 17hrs (thus began doing so regularly) that I saw not only the drop in weight, but the sudden drop in bloating - both felt less puffy and stomach looked much much flatter (rather than rounded like I was in early stages of pregnancy). When I do 16hrs (or less) I don't see as much of a difference in bloating than I would have without IF at all, though the weight seems to stay steady so long as I reach 16hrs.
I've done OMAD/22-2 (accidentally) twice. It wasn't too bad but the next day I struggled quite a bit. I'll need to slowly increase my fasting time to get to OMAD. My poor tummy couldn't hold the volume of food needed for the energy to hold me over to my eating window the next day. Otherwise, I felt fine! I was super proud of myself for the accomplishment and definitely learned a lot about myself and how my body works.

JGM10D Round 137
Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
January focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2021 Focus:- Maintain weight < 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

It will be yet another day of celebrating with friends today, why do I have so many occasions that center around the sharing of extravagant foods?
For next year I'm going to think up activities that will shift the focus away from the meal/special foods, maybe a costume party for Christmas or a working bee/group project for new years?
I'll tell everyone this year that I'm tryin' to start a thing and see if they go for it.
01/03 = 90.5
So far over my kj's yesterday that I almost wimped out on doing the weigh-in this morning.
I find myself back to my old thought patterns about not wanting to waste *eye roll* the leftover treat foods... must remember: a much more tragic waste would be not accomplishing what I want to in my life.
01/04 = 90
Got back on the better eating wagon yesterday, took me longer to adjust back after the holiday than I thought it would, I just kept telling myself that this would be the final day and then the next and the next, relapsing back into old patterns -eating away at my resolve that changing my lifestyle is important.
Before my next food focused holidays (June Solstice) I'm going to have to work out some strategies to manage those "lingering on" tendencies and reignite my resolve more quickly... maybe in the days following my holidays I'll find a healthy activity like a fun run or plan a hike or ride so I'm abruptly confronted with the reality of why eating well matters.
01/05 = 89.8
I'm trying to get some Oomph happening for January but am feeling like I'm lagging behind in all the things.
Got to remember that it's not a race, it's not like I can sprint and "win". it's not about being good/bad, it's about no longer denying my physical self the care and consideration that I have always automatically given to my pets and my loved ones. I'm realizing that even my home has routinely gotten more of my attention than my health LOL! As Willy Wonka said "What do you think will come of that?"
01/06 = 89

01/07 63.45kg. Gym was good but not as much fun as crossfit yesterday. Thanks for all the lovely comments about my photos... I really hope they help anyone who has doubts that it is worth it!

Start weight for 137 challenge: 324.2
Aim for 11 January: 321.2
2 January 2021: 324.2 This is the first time I have gone up over the festive period, and am determined to see it come back down in the next ten days. I feel very determined today for sure:)
3 January 2021: 324.2 This was a good day, getting back to the 'normal' way of eating, just need the scales to reflect it!
4 January 2021: 324.8 Oh dear, NYE camembert and crusty bread (and champagne) coming home to roost!
5 January 2021: 324.1 Coming back down, that's good. God I was hungry yesterday though, just eating normally but it was hard work to stick to 16:8. I did it and the scales will come down.
6 January 2021: 323.6 Another good day, and I can see the scales coming down. I think this is the least amound of weight I've ever put on over the holidays, and the fastest that I've taken it back off, so that's good.
7 January 2021: 323.6 Another great day of sticking to my daily allowance, getting on the treadmill and being very positive. Keep going!!
8 January 2021: 322.7 So pleased! I've been sticking like glue to eating well all week, and it's good to see the scales coming down. Tomorrow is my birthday but am learning to maybe have one indulgent day and not an indulgent fortnight! Fingers crossed for Monday's weigh in

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 137 (round 69 for me ) I'm in for another round for the New Year – I need this to help me! 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 closer to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Challenge for this round will be to get back into 131s for the end of the round. I think that is reasonable! 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

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 132.8 -11.1 miles walked yesterday, the ice and snow is starting to melt, luckily we got out early cuz now there will be only indoor exercise for me until Tuesday; we have been contacted by NHS test and trace, we have been in contact with a person who has tested positive for Corona virus and we now have to self isolate:( I plan on doing some jogging on the spot in the garage and also some stretching and toning exercises. 415 calories in credit yesterday, I really need to keep my calories down the next few days as I will not be able to do the mileage I usually do.
01/03 132.8 -- 2 x 30 minutes jogging in place, just put my music on and went for it! I was really surprised that I didn't get out of breath! It's a bit boring though!! 101 calories over.
01/04 132.8 – 30 mins jogging in place yesterday. Being confined to barracks I'm really getting on with my knitting; a shawl for our 4th grandchild due in May. I've already done my jogging in place today; thanks to UTMom81;) 55 mins whilst watching Utube film of a 7 day hike in the Smoky Mountains – brilliant!! Kept me going for the full 55 mins!! As long as neither of us have any Covid symptons tomorrow we're released!! (Fingers crossed) Yippeee! So as DH is self isolating too and not at work, we are using the time to take our Christmas tree and decorations down and stowing them back in the loft.
01/05 131.8 - Did half an hour of toning/stretching exercises/yoga poses yesterday before 55 mins jogging in place. Neither self nor DH have developed any covid symptons so we are released from self isolation today, but sadly we are being plunged back into national lockdown again with effect from this morning, on the brightside that at least we are able to get out for exercise. The snow and ice has practically melted away now so once the frost has cleared I'll be out burning of calories!!
01/06 131.8 - Oh it was so wonderful to be able to get out doors yesterday, it's totally right you don't realise what you've got until it's taken away!! 13.17 miles walked yesterday including 20 mins of jogging.
01/07 131.8 - 10.76 miles walked yesterday including day 2 of week 6 CP25K, ran for 23 minutes that was 2.5 mile non stop !! 5K was completed in 35.1 minutes, I am well chuffed with that. Aiming to actually run the whole of the 5K on 01/11, just hoping the weather co-operates!!
01/08 131.8 - 10.16 miles walked yesterday, no running as after a dusting of snow which then had frozen, followed by a hoar frost and then freezing fog it was way too slippery and dangerous to run, so just bristly walked for a couple of hours +.
01/09 131 – whoo whoo !! really pleased with a second whoosh this 10 days, really hope this sticks, but tonight is our pizza night so may well go back up, hope this is limited! 9.03 miles walked yesterday, no running as woke up again to a covering of snow which had then frozen. Is global warmimg reversing? Normally where I am in the centre of the UK we have the odd day when we wake up to snow which causes chaos for the morning commute but then melts before the end of the day, last weeks snow had only just melted after 10 days and then we immediately had a further fall making the footpaths around here too dangerously slippery to run on, in some places walking was quite risky too. Roll on the spring!!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 177.8 Lots of exercise yesterday, but no loss yet. Bought food that should help me get back in the groove, so I'm hoping for and working toward, a good round. I do still have some craving demons to battle with after the holidays, so that will be my biggest challenge this round, I think. Going for high protein, lots of veggies and some berries today.
01/03 176.8 Moving in the right direction again. Yay! Stayed well within calorie range yesterday with lots of exercise. Cravings are beginning to lessen. Did 15:9 IF and hoping for longer than that today.
01/04 176.6 Did my cooking for the week (well a lot of it anyway). Am trying a couple new recipes for lunch and dinner that I’m excited about from skinnytaste.com. Feeling like I’m back in the groove with my eating, with IF, and with exercise, so hopefully this will be a good round. Did 17:7 IF yesterday. Back to work for the first time in a month today (Mom’s illness, death, then holidays). Will see how that affects my “groove.”
01/05 176.2 Had a really good day eating only the things I had pre-cooked/pre-planned. Did 17:7 IF again yesterday which seems to be a good place for me to be. Back at the office went ok even though I really don’t see why any of us in education are in-person. We really should be remote learning right now because we are one of the hottest spots in the world for Covid in my county. But NO! Off to work we go! Hoping for a walk at lunch today if the weather holds off.
01/06 176.4 Gave into a chocolate craving yesterday, but it could have been much worse. The little pieces I ate should have still been within calorie range, so hopefully this is a normal fluctuation. It’s tiny anyway, so I’m not going to stress over it. It’s not supposed to rain here and I’m working from home today, so I’m hoping to get in a good walk with the dog during a break. Have all my meals ready to go, so there should be a little extra time in my day for activity. Did 17:7 IF yesterday.
01/07 177 Just gotta keep doing the right things. Waiting for a swoosh.
01/08 176.4 Did 16:8 yesterday. My 89-year old Dad got his vaccination appointments, and by Feb. 3, I will not be able to take this damn virus home to him. I’m so excited about that!!! I’m hoping they put educators on the list before too awful long, so I can get mine too, but at least he will be protected.
01/09 178.0 Did really well yesterday…until I didn’t. Ohh well. Had a late fast food meal or I think I’d have been fine this morning. Today is my daughter’s birthday and Monday is my granddaughter’s birthday. The celebration meal she wants will not be good for tomorrow’s weight. Will need to watch what I eat the rest of the time and exercise each day. Just hoping I can still show a small loss for the round.

01/09 - 153.4 - Whoa there, bloat. Calm down. I'm blaming IF. Actually, my lack thereof. Also, my struggle with barely getting enough water. I need to do better with both. Its a slippery slope for sure. Fasted 13hrs because BF made me breakfast when he made his. Barely hit 64oz water. Sleep, too. Been having a lot of restless nights. Last night I slept pretty good though I'd love to have slept in a little longer. Sadly, nature called and no reason to go back to sleep.... Alright - I have my soup for lunch. Think BF making dinner tonight (we have scallops that need to be cooked). No snacking in between. Drink my water. Stretch (YWA for bloating?) Got 2 more days to get this bloating down. I can do it. I hope.

Previous Day's Comments01/02 - TOM bloat is kicking my behind! I feel less puffy but my tummy definitely looks more puffy. Need to cut the TOM cravings. Best Friend sent me reeses flats and I've been indulging on 1-2 of those the last couple days. Need them GONE. Think I crave because they're in the house and visible, honestly. Fasted 16.5hrs. Hit 64oz water. Going to push more water on this lazy day and see if I can move the bloat along elsewhere. Have 1 more serving of italian wedding soup and then 1.5 servings of last nights baked parmesan garlic chicken (with sides) for lunch the next few days. Getting brave and comfortable in kitchen so I'm planning on using leftover carrots, spinach, and orzo in a soup for lunches. Have a base soup recipe for them, need to figure out what protein will go best from my options: chicken, bacon, beans. Beans for sure, I think. Not sure about adding either of the other two. BF will try to make the lemon pepper chicken tonight if work slows down enough. Need to use chicken before it goes bad. Otherwise, I'll likely be taking direction from him and learning his recipe for it. So happy cooking is feeling less like a chore and more of something I look forward to. HUGE improvement.
01/03- Back down, feeling less bloated. Ended up having steaks last night. I was super hungry so I went back for more comfort food: rolls filled with homemade mashed potatoes. Yum. Thankfully, I was quite satiated after that. The extra carbs from that may account for the visible bloat I have hanging on. I'm alright with that! Managed 16 hrs but I was huuuuungry. 75oz down the hatch. Could've drank more, but I woke up the last few nights in the middle of the night to pee and I DID NOT want to do it again so tapered off water early.
01/04 - Broke fast early (15hr) because BF made breakfast for us to use up the last of the package and not waste it. Got 70oz water only. Missed dinner due to being at the dealership. Managed a deal I didn't think was at all possible AND got a great trade in value (talking $3-4k more) that I couldn't say no to. And winter sale was still going on, so the truck was $8000 below list price. Old truck was dying. Transmission going out, not reliable. We avoided driving it, but its the only vehicle that could fit all of us and driving either 12 or 22hr round trips to pick kiddos up got to be a really nervous thing because we weren't sure the old truck would make it. Now we have a brand new (2021), a diesel (which, if our future plans go well, we need and had been discussed for a couple years now), and a long term vehicle we don't have to worry about anymore. Its a huge relief despite my payments going up. Did my homework and its more than doable so not too worried about it. Anywhoot, because travel (had to drive an hour) water wasn't the most ideal and definitely forgot to grab the dinner BF set aside for me. Guess that's my lunch.
01/05 - Carby carby. Had homemade chicken fried rice and egg rolls for dinner. Was delicious, but I usually do bump up a bit when I eat it. 65oz water. Fasted 19hrs but was so hungry yesterday from skipping dinner and BF made breakfast tacos, I couldn't say no. Longer eating window also likely accounted for the blip up in weight. Back to normal fasting window today.
01/06 - BF needed out of the house and got approval from his boss to be away from his computer long enough to go get dinner. Those opportunities are few and far between so we ventured out to grab Mexican food - aka salty chips! Was barely able to reach my 64oz of water so that isn't helping with water retention, either. Need to get on it in the morning. Usually I can drink water quickly in morning and taper off but lately I've been slacking in morning and running the fine line between catching up to goal or waking up several times in the middle of the night. Oops! Fasted only 16hrs but BF made breakfast (a reason for him to take a break from the computer). Unfortunately, dog jumped fence once while in the backyard enjoying weather. Second time, she escaped the house to jump the fence. She's never done that before until the last couple days! So my breakfast got cold while searching for her ): But it did push me over 16hrs, so that's a win! Today shouldn't be difficult to reach 17hrs. And I can't be too much of a couch potato since the dog has to be monitored when she goes outside. Ugh. Glad its warmed up at least.
01/07 - The bloat! More salty chips. Went to our other Fam's kind of taco/fajita pot luck dinner last night. The wife also works the same company as BF and both FamWife and FamHub's so she's in on this "conference" as I'm calling it. She's a definite social butterfly so she needed some interaction. Her poor husband is self-employed and watching their kids so it was nice to give him a little break, too, and just talk. Plus, it got us out of the house and BF away from his computer desk for a bit (though he still had his computer and was working). Not sure dinner plans today, but I made my "leftover soup" as I'm calling it. Had leftover celery, carrots, bell pepper, spinach, orzo, and chicken breast. Had diced tomatoes on hand so only had to buy broth and cannellini beans - super cheap and not so wasteful! Plus it made a TON of soup I can eat on it for lunch for quite a while. Probably should freeze the second portion now that I'm thinking about it. Haven't even tried it so hopefully it turned out okay. Fasted 16.5hrs (an oops moment tasting my bell pepper while chopping), and 96oz water.
01/08 - Back to end weight of last round. Now if I can keep dropping. Dinner plans last night were ruined last minute so we got Chinese. Surprised I'm not up from that. Tried my "leftover soup" and it was actually really delicious. And filling! Put the second container (filled 2 to the brim! It made a lot) in the freezer as I'm sure I'll get bored and tired of it after a few days. Have some leftover sesame beef from last night to change things up today. Water was decent - guessing about 80oz. Pretty sure that helped drop some bloat - its still there, but less! I'll take it considering Chinese usually means the scale goes up and so does the bloat! Fasted 15.5hrs as I got really hungry (due to my late-night Jack&Coke Wednesday which pushed my window so far back). 16hrs today takes me to just after 12 so I'll be good there. Day off so I'll be running errands as needed.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
2/2 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 miles, plank, fishing caught nothing, 1971 cal, 78 net carbs, toast with 1 small glass champagne.
2/3 211.6 Walked 3 miles after 5 hr drive, plank, 1531 cal, 48 net carbs, 2 wine. Time to get back on plan ... saw this number on Dec 15 and it is a relief that it returned after seeing higher numbers during the holidays.
2/4 210.1 Walk 5 miles, plank, 1751 cal, 57 net carbs, AF.
2/5 210.0 Walked 3.7 miles in Memorial Park, plank, 1902 cal, 64 net carbs, 1 glass wine.
2/6 210.1 Walked 3 miles, plank, 1735 cal, 27 net carbs, 2 glass wine.
2/7 211.1 Rain, bike, plank, 1669 cal, 69 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Food tracking is incomplete. Stress eating while TV flicking news channels and putting together 2020 expense reflection for our home budget and retirement planning.
2/8 209.2 Walked 3.4 + .6 miles, plank, gardening, 1281 cal, 29 net carbs, 1 glass wine.
2/9 209.3 Walked 2.2 + 1.4 miles, plank, 1634 cal, 81 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. I’m not a chocolate person but the Russell Stover - Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Mix with Stevia (low net carb but still high calorie) is too tempting and I find I’m snacking on it too much when bored or stressed. I need to break this new habit.

Previous days01/08 did not post. The day got away from me! Early morning dr appt and then a busy work day and evening
01/02 Haven’t weighed yet for the round. I plan on doing that tomorrow. I took a bit of a hiatus yesterday but caught up with the last posts for the last round. Congrats to everyone and what they accomplished last year! My food was decent yesterday, and it’s looking well calculated today. I’ve had left over collards, one meat ball before they all went in the sauce, two slices of hearty whole grain toast (5g fiber and 5g protein per slice) with cream cheese on one and butter on the other slice (all weighed out 😊). I’m pretty full (it was a lot of left over collards), so I’ll probably make it until dinner without a snack. Dinner will be homemade meatballs I started earlier today and they are now floating contently in homemade tomato sauce. By the time dinner rolls around they will have been getting cozy with the sauce for about 6 hours. I’ll also make some whole wheat thin spaghetti to go with it. Have a good Saturday night everyone!
01/03 Will weigh today at some point. Last night’s dinner went well. My husband I went for a long 7.5 mile hike around a local reservoir this morning. The trail sign said 6 miles but it ended up being longer. It turned out well and it was so pretty! I am pretty tired from it today, so we’ve watched a few episodes of ER on Hulu and finished up a few chores. When I got home from the hike, I heated up some carrot ginger soup I had in the freezer and had a slice of toast to go with it. Then, a little later I had a sweet potato with a meatball and a touch of sauce on top. Dinner will be portioned out Trader Joe’s orange chicken and then I think I’m roasting myself some butternut squash to go with it on the side. The calories burned from the long walk are helping me indulge a bit with the orange chicken!
I look forward to being in maintenance again hopefully sooner rather than later, 1200-1275 calories a day plus eating back 150-300 exercise calories on average adds up quick even when eating healthy.
01/04 118.2 Up down up down. Bodies are weird. Not sure what’s on the agenda for today food wise. Maybe some toast with peanut butter for breakfast with an apple on the side. I want to try and make some onion soup because we have a ton of onions and are getting more in our winter CSA this week.
01/05 116.0 Whoooooooooosh. I drank lots of fluids yesterday as well as having the onion soup that had lots of greens in it too. I think all the potassium in the greens and the rest of my diet yesterday really helped to push that extra fluid retention I had going on. I made a spiced pear quick bread this morning and created it to have lots of fiber, so hopefully it’ll keep me full for a while. My snack will be onion soup plus 2 meatballs and dinner will be split chicken breasts with more soup and roasted potatoes on the side. I hope you all have an awesome day!
01/06 busy day, didn’t have a minute to post
01/07 Need to weigh still, will do later or tomorrow morning. I had the day off yesterday but was running around all day. I started my day with a 60 minute yoga session and then I did the 60 minute spin bike ride I said I wanted to do. So, I was excited I completed it! Right after the ride I had to jump in the shower and then run to the dentist, then I got my husband’s oil changed, then I headed to pick up lunch for my best friend (also my hair dresser) and I, we ate lunch and then she cut my hair (first hair cut since February 2020!), after that I picked up our winter csa share and headed home. Then, at home my husband practiced doing an assessment on me for his fieldwork, we ate dinner and then got ready for bed.
My food was decent overall thanks to all of my activity yesterday. I started the day with the pear bread I made, then I got a kiddie sized soft serve while I was waiting for my lunch order (I’ve been wanting soft serve for weeks now, so I decided to get a kiddie size to squelch the craving and it really worked!), then for lunch I got a Greek salad with chicken on it, the salad was so big I was able to eat the rest of it for dinner along with the pita bread. Have a good day!
01/09 117.4 I decided I’m truly not letting the number bother me because I know my body is getting stronger and improving in more ways than just getting rid of weight. When I see lower numbers it’s really nice but when I see a blip up I can usually feel it and know why (like my face feels puffy or swollen). The past couple of days have had some pretty salty food in them between Greek salad on Wednesday and Buffalo Wild Wings and a couple of glasses of bubbles last night. I’m actually pleasantly surprised the number is what it is because I was 118.4 yesterday.
I picked up our meat CSA on Thursday and they were selling beef bones (at a price I couldn’t resist), so I bought some to make bone broth as my weekend project. I’m excited to see how it’ll taste! Have a happy Saturday everyone!

01/11
Goals: Yoga every day! Spin bike at least 5 times per week with at least one 45 – 60 minute ride per week, two 30 minute rides, and two 20 minute rides.
01/02 Did 30 minutes of a rise and shine yoga video, then my husband and I went for a walk in a local state forest/conservation area that was around 4 miles. Giving my body a break from the bike today. Will plan on doing a ride tomorrow. I have more goals to think about but those are the main two bumped up a little bit from the last challenge.
01/03 Did a 20 minute yoga video and then stretched a bit more afterwards. My husband and I also went for a 7.5 mile hike. My body was tired after that, so I didn’t use the spin bike. Will bike tomorrow morning or afternoon.
01/04 Did a 30 minute yoga video this morning and plan on doing a 20 or 30 minute spin ride today.
01/05 Did a 20 minute yoga video but it was more of a mini bodyweight workout. It was cool to do something a little different for a change. I managed to do a 30 minute spin bike ride yesterday! Today, I plan on doing another 30 minute ride because she posted a new 30 min disco music ride. Tomorrow, my goal is to do a 60 minute vinyasa flow and then jump on the bike afterwards and do a 60 minute ride.
01/06 60 minute yoga video and 60 minute spin bike video
01/07 did a 20ish minute yoga video this morning and a 20 minute spin ride this afternoon. I also want to go for a walk at some point today around the neighborhood.
01/08 Did not post but managed a 15 minute yoga session and 20 minute spin bike ride.
01/09 Some sort of yoga is on the agenda for today and I’m not sure what else.

We had freezing rain all day yesterday, so worth your bones to walk out there. I had a nice NYD, though, with two meditation sessions, some reading, some knitting while listening to podcasts, some kitty cuddling. I might take down the Christmas decorations today, although I do like the tree lights on these gray, gloomy days. I had to remind myself not to step on the scale this morning! I think I’ll set something on it or over it as a reminder. Such a habit! Enjoy your Saturday!
1/3 - 1620
Eating satisfying meals is definitely making me less inclined to snack at night. I did have popcorn last night, more out of habit than hunger, but I haven’t done any random snacking in several days. Hit my goals for calories and meditation. It’s supposed to be above freezing most of the day, so the ice will melt and I should be able to go for a walk without risking my neck — or butt! Happy Sunday!
1/4 - 1835
I haven’t yet driven the snack-at-night monster completely into hiding, but I think I’m making progress. At least I’m more mindful of what I’m doing, which I think is the first step. Some days I’m snack free; last night, not so much. But today’s a new day. Today is also the start of the Ten Percent Happier 21-dat meditation challenge, which is where I’m going from here. I did meditate yesterday, so I’ve been meeting that goal. Yay!
1/5 - 1720
Better snack control yesterday. I’ve been listening to the Audible edition of Self-compassion by Kristin Neff, PhD, and recommend it highly. I very much value science-based work and have a finely tuned b.s. meter, and Dr. Neff’s work meets the standard. I’m working to implement much of what she says in my weight/eating world as well as work, the two realms being not entirely unrelated!, and find myself much more conscious of what I’m doing or not doing and some of the reasons. Daily meditation is helping, too. And turning off the news! 😎
1/6 - 1627
DH had to go out early this morning and I got to sleep in way later than usual. 🛏 It was great! Now to catch up on my usual “morning things.” Hoping you all find some “me time” in your day.

Somehow I managed not to eat my way through yesterday — I was busy & offline until about 4, then frozen in front of the tv until MUCH later.
1/8 - 1729
A bit caloric yesterday, but today is better. I’m meeting my meditation goals, am mostly mindful while eating, and have walked at least a little every day in spite of the cold.

▪Mo•12/04- 212 lbs- A 28lb gain in 2020. I definitely have reasons for it, but no excuses. I have taken out all weight loss/gain information from 2017 through 2020. (except for 1 reminder) So, on with the fat and water weight loss. (Su- 11am, 5:30pm, 8pm ~17hrs) 96g carbs.

▪︎Sa•12/09- 209.6 (Fr/08-1pm, 6:30pm, 10pm~hrs) 18g carbs. Innards felt tender and sore, like I pulled a muscle. Probably from the water fast.
Ate a hot comforting dish of ratatouille for dinner. When I was a young girl, this would happen to me quite often during the summer months. My mother and grandmother would tell me I needed to eat something hot, because I was eating too many cold foods.

Happy New Year, I wish you all a blessed, healthy and safe new year. I hope to meet my goal this month or next. I know as you get closer it gets slower so I am trying to allow myself time. Last year I also met my goal and then stupidly thought I was done, then surprise to no-one but me I gained almost all the weight back. As a New Years resolution I am going to try to continue tracking and logging after I meet my goal, and then figure out how to do maintenance.
Goals
- Log Log Log, this is the secret to success for me.
- Apple Watch-Triple Move and Exercise Ring, Minimum 14 hours Stand
- CICO- Eat at MFP Calorie allowance including exercise

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02- 122- I know this is bloat from NYE, I always bloat 2 days after and this will hopefully dissolve itself around Monday- so I write this down trying to convince my head I did not gain 3 pounds. I am still in holiday mode here, husband off, kids both home, most picturesque snow scape outside window, I am even attending a wedding shower today. I know I should be starting my goals now, but I really think I am not going to get my act together until Monday.
01/03-123
01/04-121.4 Well It is now Monday and time to start getting my act together- Saturday we had the most beautiful ice and snow covering I have ever seen! It was a winter fairyland outside that luckily only interfered with my phone and internet until this morning but for the other half of town they lost electricity, I pray is working for them now. I am slowly losing my bloat and probably tomorrow have a more accurate starting round weight.
01/05-121.8 Thought I would experiment and eat all my exercise calories yesterday (by finishing all the Christmas cookies- only some dough in freezer left now ). That rationalization sounded smart yesterday, not so much now
01/06- 121.2 Sticky downward but at least I am going downward. Did not realized how dependent I have become on my apple watch. Forgot to initialize exercise when started playing pickleball so did not get any credit- Waaaa! Wasn't sure what to do- kind pathetic when you think about it. Relieved I went downward - ate 2 of the frozen cookie dough balls, nothing is safe from me.
01/07- 121.2 Funny I had my self all psyched I would be seeing a jump down this morning and ???? sideways. I am not a scale psychic. Starting an 11 week pickleball tournament Wednesday nights and next week will actually also play for 3 weeks in another. I spent an embarrassing amount of time figuring out when to eat dinner, making sure it was a light but nutritious meal. I know I can not eat afterwards- last year when I gave up eating after 7 I had so many health improvements- I was sure I would have huge drop today- Well who knows. Had a ton of fun. Won all 3 games decisively.
01/08-121.0 This is suppose to be the way to lose. If I only never saw that 119 last month- I need to be happy with this slow steady lost and because this is healthy sustainable loss. I also need to tighten up my diary, Need to be willing to dirty some extra pans to measure the recipe totals- Sorry writing this down to instigate me into doing.
01/09-121.4 Absolutely no insight!

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.

1/2 118.5 I felt uncomfortably bloated last night. Decided to look back at my 1/1 weights for the last few years-
2017 - 174.5
2018 - 144.5
2019 - 131.5
2020 - 122.0
2021 - 117.0
1/3 118.5 DGD#2 leaves today. Family lunch at Mexican restaurant yesterday. I ate some chips and part of a tortilla but mostly stuck to beef fajitas. Surprised there wasn’t a gain because we had a pitcher of Margaritas! May show up tomorrow. I think we’re going to go to Greek today.
1/4 119.0 Stressful night last night only 4 hours of sleep.
1/5 120.5 Not worried, I ate a WHOLE HUGE NY bagel.
1/6 119.5
1/7 119.5 EDIT: 4 hours, 8 cups of coffee and one TMI visit = 118.5
1/8 119.5 Expected, Greek salad with gyro meat, melitzanosalata and pita! YUM! Leftovers today. And probably extra weight tomorrow!
1/9 119.5
{I’ve tried repeatedly to put the sub- challenge graphic on but it doesn’t appear. Or else it will be here 4-6 times. Thanks iOS update??}
*Two oldest granddaughters visiting until 1/3 and 1/4*
1/1 Walked with neighbor
1/2 2603 steps
1/3 I have decided my January goal will be getting back to longer fasts. 1/4 16 hours on 1/3
1/5 I need to remember to track my fasting in Senza. Aim for 16:8 most days with goal of 36-42 hours once a week. I did a plank for the first time in a long time! 1:00.84. The cat does not like to share horizontal space on the floor so this has to be timed to his sleeping!
1/6 1:19.46 plank
1/7 Waiting for opportunity to use horizontal surface. Haven’t planked but attempted and got this for my effort- upper arm claw holes!
1/8 TBD Didn’t plank but did get more than average steps. 5,6374 -

Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 170.1 Can’t believe the NYE drop held. Still think it may be hard to maintain this round but dang determined to trade that 7 for a 6 now.
1/3 - 170.4
1/4 - 172.1 the drop rebounded. So weird. Struggled thru my first exercise video in a long time yesterday. Left me feeling sore today. Didn’t log my food so can’t look back and see where I went wrong. But today is a new day!
1/5 _ 171.1 My scale is psycho. It can't be anything I'm doing. lol Ice storm sagas continue in the Midwest. No power last night meant early bedtime! Appreciating the electricity this a.m.
1/6 - 171.0
1/7 - 170.2 Almost back to where I started this round. Still no explanation for the weirdness of my ups and downs this round. Maybe it's related to my bod adjusting back to IF.
1/8 - 169.5 got my six to replace the 7! May mean nothing but my usual 16:8 fast accidentally turned into 18:6 due to my work schedule. Does anyone else who does IF have any experience with results when eating in a shorter time frame?
