SW: 244.4 lbs
GW: 150 lbs
01/02: 244.3 lbs: (-0.1lbs) Rough start for food yesterday. Went for a long walk (didn’t track how long
01/03: 243.2 lbs: (-1.1lbs)Yesterday was better. Usually every weekend my husband likes to go and get fast food breakfast. I looked up what I previously would get and realized it was 1000 calories! I made a smarter decision and it was only 450 calories instead skipped lunch and had a filling dinner but I was way under my calories and at 9:30 I was scrambling to eat things to get over 1200 calories and get rid of my headache.
01/04: 242.7 lbs:(-0.5 lbs) went on a 5 km walk yesterday which was wonderful! My hubby once again convinced me to eat out (with the promises to not again this week) so I’m not really sure how many calories were in my dinner. Feeling happy and well
01/05: 241.8 lbs (-.9 lbs): back to work yesterday after being on vacation. I’m currently working from home due to Covid and I’d normally snack throughout the day but I didn’t! Yay! I was slightly over my calories but honestly happy that I didn’t feel starving and felt satisfied. Wasn’t able to get on a walk though.
01/06: 240.7 lbs (-1.1 lbs): yesterday was a good day.. it’s getting easier now. I’m eating a bit more food the last couple days and I’m finding it’s helping with my hunger. Went for a 30 min walk on my lunch break, but didn’t reach my water goal
01/07: 240 lbs (-0.7 lbs) : my hubby really wanted McDonald’s for lunch. I managed to just get chicken nuggets and had some soup at home rather than a full meal. Small victories! Was terrible with my water today though
01/08:239.6 lbs (-0.4 lbs) eating was on the higher side today but still made smart decisions. I’m very happy with my progress so far, but I know this is just mostly water weight
01/09: 240 lbs (+0.4 lbs): well I had a gain from yesterday. I ate about 1700 calories but was terrible with my water. Just means I got to keep focused today and drink more water6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/01 …..207.8 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/02 …..208.1 ….. Travel today.
01/03 …..207.1 ….. Travel yesterday and again today. I don’t quite understand my fluctuations. I think water weight as I was up and down shedding all night. I won’t get in much movement today and food will be away from home again. Just got to get through these couple of days!
01/04 …..207.4 ….. Slightly up due to a very very late night dinner. Travel plans were cancelled at the very last minute and the day was haywire. However, I managed to get my 10,000 + steps in, though it wasn’t easy.
01/05 …..207.0 ….. Gotta make good choices today. I am expecting a handyman and his family over for most of the day to help take down and store my Christmas things. We’ll see how my meals go but there should be lots of activity.
01/06 …..207.2 ….. Very likely a no TMI fluctuation. Very exciting day! I had a 7 foot space on my livingroom wall (after changing the furniture) that was screaming for something. I found a beautiful sideboard in the perfect rich wood finish on facebook and had my handyman pick it up for me. I’m in HEAVEN. So beautiful and elegant. The lady sold it to the right person. I will respect it and take excellent care of it.
01/07 …..207.2 ….. A low calorie day. Perhaps the milk I couldn’t resist (16 oz).
01/08 …..207.0 ….. Food choices a bit better yesterday. Quantities were the real win.
01/09 …..208.6 ….. Whattttt????? Low calorie foods and good quantities yesterday. Milk again late at night, however. Is it causing this????? Stopping that habit!
01/10 …..xxxxx …..
01/11 …..xxxxx …..
My Goal is to get my 10,000 steps in daily (like I used to!)January 01 – 10,053 steps. I mean business!
January 02 – Traveled. Only 7308 steps.
January 03 – 10,571 steps. Travel plans were cancelled so I fit it in.
January 04 – 7120 steps
January 05 – 10,725 Took down Christmas décor so plenty of activity!
January 06 – 8341 steps. A little short.
January 07 – 6873 I was forced to charge my fitbit in the evening for awhile. I’m not sure how many steps were not recorded but I likely did not hit the 10,000.
January 08 – 6808 steps. Company all evening yesterday (until 1:00 a.m) A friend, but uninvited and unplanned so lots of sitting from 4:00 p.m. on.9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 - 58.1kg, horrified to see this number on the scale this morning, my highest weight since maintenance
01/03 - 56.9kg, must have been a salt overload from New Year's Day ham, calories, yoga, walking all good :-)
01/04 - 56.8kg, only doing shorter yoga routine for now, eating good, walking could have been better...
01/05 - 56.3kg, holiday weight is dropping off, walking > 16,000 steps, but too hot for yoga last night
01/06 - 56.1kg, great longer yoga session, >17,000 steps, comfortable deficit
01/07 - 56.0kg, >19,000 steps, longer yoga session, good on calories, high on fat, but maybe that's OK...
01/08 - 56.0kg, shorter yoga, a few cocktails but stayed strong with eating, > 15,000 steps
01/09 - 56.0kg, holding steady which is fine - patience pays...
01/10 - 56.1kg, which is better than expected after eating over 600 calories too many

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.
01/09 - 132.0 - Very happy with that given how much I’ve been eating the past two days. I also took my waist/hips/bust measurements and I’ve dropped inches all around compared to the beginning of December. 😊. Helps to remember it’s not all about the number on the scale!

Back again after not posting for a few rounds. I was still working on this, just had a lot going on in my head as well. Happy to be back.
3/1 116.3kg
Have been going to the gym with friends, and maintain my deficit. Hopefully the extra weight from the holidays will work it's way off again. Most of it is probably food bulk and water weight, as I was close to maintenance calories, even on feast days.
4/1 115.7kg
Had a migraine today, so no exercise and very little food. MFP was whinging. Oh well. It's not like it's everyday. Tried to keep my water up at least.
5/1 115.6kg
Took another recovery day after my migraine yesterday. I always feel washed out the next day. Organised to get to the pool with some friends tomorrow.
6/1 115.5kg
Really poor sleep, so I didn't get to the pool. Going to try again tomorrow.
7/1 114.7kg
Got a big whoosh overnight. Bodies are weird.
8/1 114.1kg
Went to the zoo with the kids, so lots of walking, and carrying my youngest when he was overwhelmed. It was nice to notice that I wasn't puffed, even walking up the hills.
9/1 114.3kg
Our washing machine has broken, so today I washed by hand. Wet clothes are HEAVY, and I worked up a good sweat doing it. Takeaway for dinner. I stayed well within my calories and carbs, but it was so much saltier than my normal meals.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 - 145 - Some life changing events happened earlier this week. My husband had surgery Monday which resulted in a diagnosis of bladder cancer. We indulged in a little comfort food this week which was OK. We find out Tuesday the prognosis along with the treatment plan. I urged him to consider retiring so he can focus on his health and he may do that. My 94 year old Mother in law was hospitalized on Tuesday with Covid 19 and a serious UTI. She has been improving with antibiotics and Remdesivir, but she gave it to my 71 year old brother in law and his wife while they were caring for her. Hopefully, they won't have to be hospitalized.
In addition to the medical issues, I'm an accountant for a CPA firm and tax season starts next week. I typically work 60 to 80 hours a week until April 15th. I'm going to have to have a conference with the partners to balance my husband's illness with the work expectations. I'm expecting them to allow me to work from home as much as needed.
All that being said, I am going to have to stay healthy to get through these times. Part of that is staying at a reasonable weight and keeping plenty of healthy food choices in the house. At my previous weight of 186, my blood pressure and cholesterol were too high and my energy was very low, which my weight loss has reversed. I'm also very glad that my husband has maintained a healthy weight and continued to exercise up until the bladder issues started. He is in great shape to fight his battle.
01/03 - 144 - Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes. It really means a lot to me. So far my in laws are managing their symptoms.
01/04 - 143.5 - First day back in the office since 12/22. Someone accidently left the steam heat on in our building over the New Year holiday and it is 92F in my office. It is 35F outside. Unfortunately, none of our floor to ceiling windows open. I'll be drinking plenty of water today and probably sweating off a few pounds.
01/05 - 143.5
01/06 - 143.5 - We got great news yesterday! Although my husband has the aggressive type of cancer, we caught it early enough that it appears to have not gotten outside of his bladder. There are more surgeries and treatments ahead, but we are thrilled that the prognosis looks good for now.
01/07 - 143.5 - OK!
01/08 - 144
01/09 - 143.5 - We had a virtual happy hour with my Florida family last night and I expect to see the weight tomorrow. It was worth it though. Plenty of water today.

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!!
01/10 132.8 ? - I feel the scales are playing with me ?! I know it was pizza night last night which meant I finished the day very carb heavy together with a mince pie, but I was within my calories and I enjoyed every mouthful! 9.47 miles walked yesterday together with DH.

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.

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.
01/10 179.2 Wasabi (Japanese show dinner meal) and birthday cake (twice) are the primary culprits here, but honestly, I need to commit to logging everything again. I think I’ll go back to proteins and relatively low carb again for a while (if I can) and see if I can knock out these cravings. Chocolate cravings are REAL! It’s a mindset thing for me, and I’m not in it at the moment. But, I will be again! I can do this! The exercise challenges have really helped me get back to moving a lot during my day, so now I just have to conquer the "what do I put in my mouth" part.

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.
2/10 210.3 Walked 3 miles, bike, plank, 1873 carbs, 73 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Swoosh the pound is back 🙁
NSV Took my measurements and I'm 3" smaller in bust & hips and 2" smaller in the waist so I dug into my drawer and found a favorite old pair of pajamas bottoms to try on and they fit!!!

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.

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!
01/10-121.8 Hoping I am bloated. I upped my weight - really not by much on friday and am still sore- had a massage also Friday- I honestly have no idea but to just plug along

01/10 - 147.7 - Whoosh! Didn't expect that, though a slim bit visibly bloated. Nothing went to plan yesterday. At. All. BF got released from work half day yesterday and is off today (only needs to get on if he gets a call, but he is last resort for getting calls). So everyone decided they all needed out of the house, especially with today's forecast. There's this cool little outdoor bar that has live music and tvs (football!) with a playground for kids so we all met up there. Its way out of the way of town so not a lot of people except locals go and it was DEAD. Like 2 other couples there quite a bit away from us (we had kiddos so by playground, they were by porch dance floor). I had an early dinner of fish and chips. Lunch was the leftover venison sausage gravy with leftover biscuits BF made the day before (SO GOOD). Water was 60oz on the dot. And a few beers (which I finished at 9pm so fasting today is longer). INSIGHT: I had beer. Late. I had fish and chips for dinner. I had a very carby biscuits and gravy for lunch. ALL the things that would normally bloat me and make me gain. Yet, I dropped ~6bls of bloat. Why? I fasted just a couple minutes shy of 17hrs. The power of fasting is VERY evident to me right now and definitely explains my detour back to the 150s. Seeing this first hand will help me push through when BF makes early breakfast. Things can be reheated and I can complete my fast before indulging and I will feel better for it. Its the push I need today to hit 16hrs despite having to wait until after 1pm (my own fault). Rainy with a winter weather advisory (please stay away snow and ice) so stuck inside today (again, bleh).
01/11
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.
01/09 - 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.

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.

2/7 211.1 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.

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.
2/10 210.3 Walked 3 miles, bike, plank, 1873 carbs, 73 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Swoosh the pound is back 🙁
NSV Took my measurements and I'm 3" smaller in bust & hips and 2" smaller in the waist so I dug into my drawer and found a favorite old pair of pajamas bottoms to try on and they fit!!!

01/02 = 132.4
01/03 = 133.4
01/04 = 132.8 -- managed to get 10,024 steps today and stay under my calorie goal!
01/05 = 132.4 -- 6,093 steps today--need to remember to take breaks/move more during work hours.
01/06 = 133.2 -- 9,572 steps...sooo close to 10k darn it! Walk/ran 1.75 miles-it's much harder to run in snow!
01/07 = 133.8 -- 7,725 steps..fell asleep last night while reading/catching up on the posts here, so didn't type my entry! it wasn't because they were boring either, I was just exhausted:) America the Beautiful is...breaking my heart this week. And yes, I am American.
01/08 = 133.4 -- 10,003 steps! tonight I'm typing before reading posts...just in case haha [edit: I still fell asleep before posting this. LOL] Ran on asphalt because trails are snowy/icy. Terrible decision--made my shin splints flare up:(
01/09 = 132.8 -- 2,374 steps:( but it's because I left my fitbit on the charger. which raises that age-old question: if your fitbit didn't record steps, did they really happen? HA!
01/10 = 134.2 -- sighhhhh...something's gotta change. Clearly. We had Qdobas this weekend, I'm sure that didn't help, although I split my meal, ate half for dinner, other half for lunch next day.. Posting this at 9:50 a.m. because obvious reasons (see above posts:)

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.
01/10 179.2 Wasabi (Japanese show dinner meal) and birthday cake (twice) are the primary culprits here, but honestly, I need to commit to logging everything again. I think I’ll go back to proteins and relatively low carb again for a while (if I can) and see if I can knock out these cravings. Chocolate cravings are REAL! It’s a mindset thing for me, and I’m not in it at the moment. But, I will be again! I can do this! The exercise challenges have really helped me get back to moving a lot during my day, so now I just have to conquer the "what do I put in my mouth" part.
01/11
JANUARY EXERCISE GOALS:
EXERCISE BIKE—100 miles
WALKING—50 miles (outside or with walking workout videos if weather is bad)
HIKING—at least one hike in the mountains during January
01/02 8 miles on the exercise bike; 2.4-mile walk in the neighborhood,
01/03 1.5-mile walk with stroller and granddaughter; 5-mile HIKE in the Smokies on an absolutely perfect weather day--don't get many like this in January here, so I took advantage of it on the spur of the moment.
01/04 3.22 miles walking, 7.1 miles on the exercise bike, some stretching too, which I really need.
01/05 6-mile exercise bike routine
01/06 1.58-mile walk during my lunch at work. Took a break from the bike last night though
01/07 2.07 miles walked and 5.04 miles on exercise bike
01/08 Took a zero day yesterday other than just normal daily steps. My knees were a bit sore so wanted to rest them.
01/09 7.5 mile exercise bike routine. Used a Hills program which was challenging, but I like it.
01/10 8-mile ride in the Hills program. Gotta get in a good walk today.
01/11
TOTALS for January:
EXERCISE BIKE: 42 miles
WALKING: 14.19 miles
HIKES: 1—completed on 1/2/21 maybe I can get in another one this month if the weather will cooperate
Chocolate cravings truly are real! I recently rediscovered how yummy the chocolate FiberOne bars (I get the trader joe's version) are and they satisfied my chocolate craving last night. If your gi track can handle the fiber and you like the flavor of them, they are worth trying to see if it helps your craving.2 -
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!!
01/10 132.8 ? - I feel the scales are playing with me ?! I know it was pizza night last night which meant I finished the day very carb heavy together with a mince pie, but I was within my calories and I enjoyed every mouthful! 9.47 miles walked yesterday together with DH.
01/11
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE . Keep calm – we're all in this together!
?�゚マᄐ?マᄐ?�゚マᄐ This is NOT A DIET - It’s a PERMANENT LIFESTYLE. ?�゚マᄐ?�゚マᄐ
Sometimes, I think the scales have a mind of their own! My weight has fluctuated 2 pounds over the past week. It's craziness! It just shows us how the averages make more sense to look at than the day to day fluxes. I'm glad you enjoyed that meal, it sounds delicious!

Previous days
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!
01/08 did not post. The day got away from me! Early morning dr appt and then a busy work day and evening
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!
01/10 116.4 We had a nice lounge day yesterday but I still managed to putz around the house and not sit around allllll day. I successfully made bone broth and it’s reducing now in the croc pot. It was a long process but pretty hands off. My food was pretty solid too, I was able to turn down take out food that my husband was ordering and I made myself brunch instead. Now I have breakfast sausage waiting for me today that are all cooked and I’ll have a couple of them with two slices of toast with cream cheese, plus an apple and orange. My lunch/snack will be Greek yogurt with an apple topped with Trader Joe’s sesame covered cashews. I bought the cashews for the first time this week and wondered why I never bought them before. They are so yummy! Dinner will be chicken drumsticks (I think I’ll skip eating the skin) and roasted kohlrabi over salad greens. Plus, maybe a chocolate fiber granola bar thing from TJ’s for dessert.
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. (Completed a 20ish minute yoga video)
01/10 35 minute yoga video for achy backs plus some additional stretching. We also plan on going for a walk around the neighborhood.

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! 😎

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.

Yesterday was good, though I did have some ice cream. I realized afterward that what I wanted was chocolate, so I’m going to buy some good dark chocolate — a small piece slowly savored will be more satisfying and less caloric. I can’t believe we’re almost at the end of this round! I’ve done well not weighing — we’ll see tomorrow what the results of this experiment are. I am meeting my meditation and mindful eating goals. Walking, not so much, but weights, yes. All good.

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
1/10 119.0 Fasted 20 hours yesterday. When I ate, it was because I told my DH that I was fasting until 2 and that was when I ate. I could have waited longer. I can’t believe another round is almost over!
*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. 5,637
1/9 Walked with neighbor. She really got winded but after she got home she realized she didn’t have her O2 turned on! LOL but progress!5 -
