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.

SModa61 · January 2021

2021 is here! This will be an interesting round. Driving husband to the airport today (1/1/21). He is traveling to check in on his mom, and then also check-in on our never-ending condo repairs (should have been done in October). It’s a little nerve racking to have him traveling, and traveling alone during these times, but it is necessary. We have also decided that when we head down together in February, we will drive. And not fly. Anyhow…. Hubby is away for this whole round. I would traditionally eat ice cream and Chinese food the whole time he is gone, so, to avoid this, I really need to focus on my pre-planning and tracking and not bringing temptations into the house. This would also normally be a nice quite time for me, but instead, I am filling in as daycare for my almost 1 year old grandson. Lunch will be outside my home and I will be getting home just in time to scramble for dinner. Planning and preparing for each day is going to be key if I am going to continue to fit in daily exercise and keeping my daily calories under goal. I know I can do this, it will just take some focus.

Goals for round 137, adapt to the dynamics of this round, and to try and lose 1 more lb. I would like to hit my stated goal of 129 by the end of January.

Previous Goals

- Get under 150
- Get under 145 by my birthday (10/26)
- Get to pre-COVID weight from Feb 2020, 142.4
- Get under 140 before Thanksgiving 2020,
- Not gain over Thanksgiving,
- Get below 135
- Lose min 2 lb during December
- Walk/run to Sombrero B for sunrise photo
- Maintain losses of time in Florida
- Maintain weight for round 136 which included Xmas as well as New Years

Running total, since Sept 14, 2020: -21.0

Round 137 – starting weight 132.0

1/2 – 133.0 It’s ok. IMM I am blaming sodium. It should shake out.

1/3 – 131.4 Nice number and unexpected. It is different addressing dinners for one. When not responsible for feeding anyone else, my past habit would be to not cook and eat like I mentioned in my intro paragraph. This morning I have pre-tracked both today (home)and tomorrow (first babysitting day), to keep focused on good habits and make sure that I have what I need available to me.

1/4 – 131.8 The bounce. I don’t know if it is because I am nearing my stated goal, but I am unfortunately starting to battle the drive towards unplanned eating. During my earlier rounds, I was feeling empowered which kept everything going, and that is waning. (maybe this is also due to the impact of the holidays, not sure) This concerns me and it concerns me in particular once getting to maintenance. Anyone else deal with this and have insights? On another note – today is day one as babysitter!!!!

1/5 – 131.4 Second time seeing this number, so it’s feeling more real. Yesterday babysitting, worked well for not being tempted to pick at food (not in my own home), but not the best for my exercise options and then this morning I overslept. Will have to figure today out.

1/6 – 130.2 Way too good to be true. Yesterday was interesting from and exercise point of view. Had accidentally woken up late, and with other tasks more critical, I did not get in any exercise before heading to daughter’s to babysit. GS is 11 months, so not a lot of movement during those hours. Other challenges I participate in, require various degrees of exercise. Decided, bike sound acceptable, planned on my minimum 20, but did 30. Later in the evening, I looked at the rings on my apple watch and saw the pathetic numbers. At 8:30 PM, decided to go out for a walk to close my rings. Resulted in over 4 miles. I kept adding “one more street”. Maybe I will start paying attention to those rings more often.

1/7 – 130.2 Two days in a row! Two days makes me consider a number as possibly real. This weight loss journey can be so confusing. There are days I don’t deserve a loss, yet I get one, and other times when there is a gain that makes no sense. Day 4 babysitting today. Yesterday, I did use the Apple Watch rings as another reference point for my activity. Let’s see how that goes. Elliptical and hydration are a bit of a fail so far this round, but the walking continues to be on track. I do need to figure one thing out though, since the new year, I am finding that certain exercises are triggering bad headaches, when that has never occurred before (started with pushups, is impacting planking, and yesterday the elliptical).

1/8 – 129.2 I don’t see how this is possible. IMO I am not even eating in deficit sufficiently to justify the 130.2. I did go for my walk after dinner in the dark, and it was a good one. No babysitting today. Have got to catch up on house work, and important phone calls. Hopefully my pre-tracking for the day, will keep me in line.

1/9 – 130.0 Tick up, but given I had Chinese food last night, a number in the 129’s may be in my near future.

1/10 – DNW

1/11 – 131.0 More up, but still down overall for this round. Here is the Bad then the Good. I did not meet my exercise goal as defined, but did fit in consistently over an hour of some sort of exercise each day. My tracking and eating started well with pre-planning through the 7th/8th, but I noticed that the past few days, I am reverting to bad habits Glad it is only a couple days at the moment and need to keep it that way. After putting up today’s post, I’m going to sit down and track at least today. Gotta get the head back. On another note, I did lose the one pound I had hoped for, but it just looks like it could have been more if I didn’t get sloppy.

Goal for round 137 – Use elliptical for five out of ten days, Walk minimum of 4 miles for 5 out of ten days (do not have to be mutually exclusive), Work on starting to include regular full body exercise (still TBD)

Exercise Goal for this round: Bike 3x, Walk 8x, Plank 10x
🎯Mini Goal: See the ZERO … 210

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
1/2 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 miles, plank, fishing caught nothing, 1971 cal, 78 net carbs, toast with 1 small glass champagne.
1/3 211.6 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.
1/4 210.1 Walk 5 miles, plank, 1751 cal, 57 net carbs, AF.
1/5 210.0 Walked 3.7 miles in Memorial Park, plank, 1902 cal, 64 net carbs, 1 glass wine.
1/6 210.1 Walked 3 miles, plank, 1735 cal, 27 net carbs, 2 glass wine.
1/7 211.1 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.
1/8 209.2 Walked 3.4 + .6 miles, plank, gardening, 1281 cal, 29 net carbs, 1 glass wine.
1/9 209.3 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.
1/10 210.3 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!!!
1/11 210.0 Walked .25 miles rain, plank, 1969 cal, 88 net carbs, 1 glass wine. Too much chocolate and lots of canned & frozen meals today.

JANUARY EXERCISE GOALS:
EXERCISE BIKE - 30 min 6x
WALKING - 100 miles
PLANK - 1 min 20x

Exercise Goal for this round:

Bike 30 min 3x: 2
Walk 8x: 9 (Total 23 miles)

Missed one bike ride this round of goals ... no excuse it was an exercise bike and I was inside most of the day yesterday with rain and cold outside ... should've could've.

Down 1.4 lbs and nailed 210. Hit my goal for this round! If only I had that kind of success each and every year going forward I would be a happy girl. See you in the next round where I strive for a stretch goal

MomLarisa · January 2021

44, 6' trying to maintain at 150. Have to track here for accountability. More water, more low/0 calorie snacks when starving.

1/3 160 tough jump lesson today
1/4 159.4 Walked the ponies
1/5 159 rode/walked
1/6 158.2 a bit surprised as I had Canes and part of a Cream puff last night. I may see a delayed jump tomorrow...
1/7 158 I had pizza last night so I'm a bit surprised, but I've been trying to be mindful so that's good. Should drink more.
1/8 159
1/9 DNW
1/10 160.2 I'm not sure what's going on with this I hiked for 3 hours yesterday... sigh
1/11 159.8 I was super busy yesterday rode both horses and worked outside a lot. hmmm.

R137 Goal: Continue IF 16:8. Lose a pound. MOVE more. Stretch out daily.

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?
1/9 - 170.3
1/10 - 170.2
1/11 - 170.4 Nothing like ending the round on a high note. My fault though. The hubs ordered drive by breakfast from our American Legion fundraiser well before my fast was over, then I continued to eat other "different" stuff all day long. See you all in R138!

Day/Calories/Comment
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.

1/9 - 1669

1/10 - 1821
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.

1/11 - Weight 183 (+/- 0) - 2047 - 10-day ave calories 1789
I feel this was a good round. My weight stayed steady, but I meditated daily, ate more intentionally, did not scold myself nor deny myself any food I really wanted, and snacked much less. My calorie average was 189 higher than my goal, but I think as I get more in tune with intuitive eating, that will change. Interestingly, I’ve realized that on the couple of nights when I ate ice cream (and pushed my calories way up), what I really wanted was chocolate, so I’m going to buy some really good chocolate that I can savor in small bits when (and if) I want it. See you in R138!

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

oxnina · January 2021

Round Goals
- drink at least 64 oz of water
- track my food intake
- go for a walk every day

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 water

01/10: 239.1 lbs (-0.9 lbs) went for a 50 min walk today. Trying to make this a lifestyle change so I made some modifications to my favourite breakfast from Tim Hortons. We had it for “brunch”. Ended up having some cookies but you gotta enjoy foods that you like to make this a lifestyle change

01/11:239.5 lbs (+0.4 lbs) I’ve been really caving into fast food this week. Hopefully going into the week will help with that. Overall very happy with my progress over the past 10 days

Total loss 4.9 lbs!

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!

01/10 - 132.2 - Almost forgot to check in today! Sundays are tough because it’s my “sleep-in day” so everything is just off from the regular schedule. Got 45 minutes of Beat Saber in this morning, and did all my meal prep for the week - blueberry banana overnight oats, breakfast egg rolls, chocolate peanut butter granola bars and the filling for air-fried chicken chimichangas (will fill and cook each day for lunch). I hope to still be around 132 tomorrow for the end of the round.

01/11 - 131.8 - Ending under 132 is what I was aiming for, so that was a great number to see this morning. I just did a 20 minute HIIT workout (that kicked my butt!) and then some core work, including my plank challenge. I’m almost up to a minute now - it’s certainly getting more challenging each day. I’ll see you all in the next round!

Total Round Loss: 1.4 lbs

30 day beginner plank challenge! Goal is to be able to hold the plank for 2 minutes by the end of the month. Will be doing them in front of a mirror to confirm proper form.

01/01 - 15 secs - Done!
01/02 - 20 secs - Done!
01/03 - 20 secs - Done!

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.

Rnd 137 SW 117 AW 119.1
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!
1/11 117.5 Watched what I ate and AF x 2 days

*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!
1/10 Did nothing
1/11 Plank 1:50

01/04: 176.5 Starting a new strength training mini program today, just a 5 day jump start to get back in the habit of daily workouts. A little snow overnight, so no running today. Doing well with IF 16/8 and so far on day 4 of Dry January. Need to work on getting more water in throughout the day.
01/05: 176.3 So tired with very little energy, took 3 naps yesterday, hoping for feeling better today! My eating window was much later than normal last night, so will likely be OMAD today to get my 16 hour fast in. "Santa" gifted us the Universal Yums snack subscription for Christmas, so we are having an Italian night tonight...I'm making a baked pasta for dinner and then we're trying the different Italian snacks/treats from the Yum box. Off to see if I can pre-logged those in MFP.

Start weight (31 August 2020): 349.2 lbs
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:)
9 January 2021: 322.1 Lowest weight yet, but not going to last because today was my birthday!
10 January 2021: 322.2 Not bad
11 January 2021: 322.7 Pleased with this after the birthday weekend.

So, I lost 1.5 lbs in my first Challenge of 2021. Bring on the next one!!

01/11 no new weigh-in bc I'm only weighing once a week. But my big accomplishments are food prepping (14 breakfast burritos and 3 lunches for my work week) and making a menu plan. I've been doing this long enough to know that how I plan my food absolutely makes or breaks my success.

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.

01/11 115.8 I’ll happily accept that weight. It’s nice to finally have a round where I lost instead of gained or stayed the same. This was also the first round where a holiday wasn’t really involved. I started my day today with some yoga and then jumped on the spin bike because I wanted to see how it felt while fasting. I wasn’t the biggest fan of spinning while fasting, I didn’t feel as energized as I am during an afternoon session. I just knew my day would be longer today and didn’t feel like showering in the afternoon. At least, it’s now done for the day.

Food has been good so far today, part of my breakfast was the bone broth I made this weekend with an egg simmered in it. The broth was amazing! I’m also looking forward to making some tacos tonight for dinner!

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.
01/11 35 minutes of yoga and 30ish minutes on the spin bike.

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 …..208.6 ….. Low calorie meals but forced to eat very late again due to unexpected company. No TMI x 2 so that is not helping. Getting ready for a house full of people in the comping weeks for a bathroom remodel on bathroom #1. Fitting in my meals around the project and the family and friends that will be here to help daily will be impossible. I see many late dinners in my future. Uggg on the diet front, yay on the first bathroom remodel.

01/11 …..207.0 ….. Finally TMI and Whoosh. It makes sense according to what I’ve eaten the last couple of days. Travel today so I’ll probably not start the next round well. But I am very happy to be down almost a whole pound for the round even if it happened just in the nick of time and just by the skin of my teeth! Nice round everyone! We’re all getting back to work after the holidays and it’s nice to see so much progress!

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.
January 09 – 9052 steps. Not many in the evening due to unexpected guest that stayed until 11:00 pm. Otherwise, a very active afternoon.
January 10 – 6792 steps. Movie night with a friend. Feet up during late evening. I should have worked harder during the day.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Day/Weight/Comment
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:)
01/11 = 133.8 -- 5,082 steps. hoping for good weather tomorrow so I can go on a walk/jog. see ya for the next round:)
