Hour commitment - I won’t eat again until tomorrow,1
-
Guess I didn't make goals yesterday... I didn't log either, but I think I was in calories even with date night because I didn't eat during the day. Maybe intermittent fasting is my natural fix. It will take some getting used to, but maybe I'll give it a try.
Last night was date night and we played pub trivia. We won which is always nice, forgot to get our prize though. Oh well... It is only $10 off next visit. I can probably pick it up next week. Tonight we are going back to my old high school for a football game. We were supposed to have a reunion this weekend, but it get cancelled due to Covid. The football game is still on and we already had a hotel so we are going down for that and hoping to see some old friends.
As for weight loss, I've gotten to the point where I don't even weigh any more. I'm afraid to step on the scale. Of course, this does me no good, but I just can't bare to see the number. Maybe I'll give myself a month to try and do better then step on the scale and get a new starting weight.

Yesterday went pretty well, though I have to admit to eating some of the chocolate I found. We have a stressful situation going on (no-one's ill, it's not that bad, but will possibly change our lives in a bad way going forward) I hate things being out of my control, and I ate some comfort chocolate. I'm trying not to think about it, all logged though.

Recap R 9/16 ~ skipped dog walk before work
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks
At least I was more aware b/c I posted this... currently not wearing any tracker to keep me honest.
2) Net cals zero / 14c water close enough -33 & 13c
3) Facebook Live 12:00 / update cjs log & PRO s/s / more email backlog rec'd final docs for 2nd to last audit of fiscal year, so completed PA-E&T and submitted for review = 2/3
4) Walk dog after work 4.23 mi & happy dog / load & run dishwasher / another ta-da 
no energy
5) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40 (walk dog before work) = 4/6
JFT F 9/17
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (track in Exercise Notes on MFP)
2) Make stuffed peppers for supper / LIMIT sweets / net cals zero / 14c water
3) Sort records / submit PRO, PAR & KRO s/s
4) Walk dog after work / put away clean dishes / check DVR / sort laundry / check hummer feeder & refill as needed / another ta-da
5) Unplug 9:30 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 7:00 alarm (farmer's market & walk dog)
V glad that I walked dog just over 4 miles after work yesterday, but temp was warmer than I like for myself & dog. We're having days with above normal temps at the very end of summer. It wore me out and I didn't feel hungry after, although I knew I was, so supper was very late, and I had no energy to do anything else. That's why I don't like to exercise in the evenings (well, one of the reasons).
Since I didn't go lights out until 11:00, I knew I wouldn't have enough sleep or energy for dog walk before work this morning. Another nice day, not quite so warm & afternoon rain should be passed, so plan to walk dog again after work today. Tomorrow I plan to go to farmers market early-ish, then walk dog after. Not sure about Sunday... before or after church? Want to get myself back on track for early walks next week. Made harder by sunrise being later. I'd better adjust, because fall and winter are on their way. That reminds me, I should check my and dog's LED gear. Probably need to charge it all.
2021 Goals:1) Weight 150#Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ remember this year! ~ 1.31.21 ~ 2.28.21 ~ 4.3.21 ~ 4.30.21 not pretty ~ skipped 5.31.21 & 6.30.21 ~ 7.31.21 accountable ~ 9.1.21 horrible after vacation but recorded
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race or challenge events even if virtual ~ started MapMyWalk You Vs. Year 1021K on Jan. 1 / virtual 50 Mile Frenzy 11.27.20 - 1.15.21 (replaced Frenzy on the Fox for Jan. 2021) 50.37 miles 12.17.20 and completed 97.44 miles total / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21 ~ completed distance on 3.21.21 / 30/45 Build to Bellin virtual challenge 30 min. activity for total of 1,350 min. in 45 days 3.1.21 - 4.15.21 = 146 out of 339 in 34:00:42 / Hope 2021 Face Mask virtual 5K (benefits No Kid Hungry) anytime 5.11.21 in 58:04 / 100 Miles in May virtual challenge ~ 134.68 miles would've been more if I hadn't sluffed off on dog walks one week / Bellin (virtual) 10K on 6.19.21 after thunderstorm in 1:45:49 ave. pace 17:02 per mile / Titletown Wellness Shoreline Challenge: virtual distance from Gills Rock to Pleasant Prairie (232 miles) as many times as possible 6.12.21 - 11.26.21 / Packers 5K IN PERSON 7.24.21 48:36 ave. pace 15:39
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up1 -

Late to post goals today, but it's tough to do before my 8 AM classes. I've been doing well with the basics, only going over my calorie limit once in the last 2 weeks. Fitting in time to walk is tougher, but I did manage to get out a few times this week. As for the other items on my list...well, sticking to a plan is not my strongest skill. While most things like laundry eventually get done, I like keeping some flexibility to respond to the circumstances of the day. Maybe I should have a "sometime this week" list in addition to my daily one.
Thursday 9/16- Log
- Stay in the green for calories and sodium
- Water
- Help daughter with her hair It was a good distraction before my cardiologist appointment, and it came out great!
- Doc
Nothing resolved yet, but we can revisit it in 3 months. - Laundry
Nope. Spent an hour and a half wandering around Costco, mostly looking at books and toys and holiday items. - Do some grading Didn't do a lot, but I got through 2 sets of assignments for today's class.
- Walk? Just didn't happen.

🍄🍁🍂 SEPTEMBER 🍂🍁🍄
🍄🍁🍂🌾🍄🌾🍂🍁🍄
The revamp just kinda snowballed. We had to relocate some of the displaced furniture, so the fun and games spilled into my bedroom. Managed to contain it to the two rooms. The Hobbies room looks so much bigger with all the clutter removed from the floor. I am slowly working my way through the clutter mountain. I will need to do several more passes once things are replaced. Art/crafts are equipment heavy pastimes.
Sticking to my Daily Habits. Had a temporary blip in weight courtesy of last weekend's celebrations for DH's 75th Birthday.

REMINDERS: One or two thoughts to remember.- 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.
- The scale is only one gauge of progress. Others include Measurements, clothes fit, improvement in general well-being/fitness.
- 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.

The football game at my old high school was nice, didn’t really see anyone I knew, but got to reminisce a bit. Tim and I stayed in Charleston and made good use of the hotel room😘. I guess my weight doesn’t bother him as much as I feared. New profile picture ID from the game.

hi, I'm Sharon and I live in a teeny community just outside of Pittsburgh. I've been a member for a long time but never knew about this community. I'm glad I found it.
My story: I was at 214 and had gastric bypass surgery. RNY which was great for me at the time. I lost down to 110 and now that I look back, I looked horrendous.
At this point I regained back to 193 because it's easy to fool the RNY, VERY easy. Plus after 18 months of what they call "the honeymoon period" the massive weight loss stops and then you have a small pouch but you have to pay attention.
Lucky me, I have one of the rarest side effects of my RNY - I have reactive hypoglycemia. I will have grand mal seizures off my sugar gets before 40 which it very often does before I even notice it. However, I do have a fantastic Endocrinologist who told me Victoza and then Ozempic could help keep my sugar steady. And one of the side effects is weight loss. BONUS!!!!
I started Victoza and then changed to Ozempic. I'm at a pretty good weight now although I'm kind of hanging in there and have recently gained 7#. I need to to get my life under control and lose that and then 16 more to get to my goal.
In the meantime, I fell and have persistent Post Concussion syndrome. A TBI. I've been off work since April and still have issues so I can't drive among a lot of other things including my vision being totally screwed. I am a CYS caseworker so I need to get back to where I was before.
So probably TMI but for me it truly IS one day at a time. Because of my concussion, I am pretty isolated. I live far from friends whoo have other live now. So I think a group let those would be perfect for me as I struggle with the concussion and the weight loss.
Right now, I can go for walks but slowly and not long ones. Maybe 2k although my goal is to get back to my 5k pace and compete in the 5k part of the Pittsburh marathon. I am ambitious to say the least!
Sharon
Starting weight at gastric bypass: 214
First loss following RNY: 110
Second starting weight: 193
Current weight: 153
Loss: 40# over 2 yr period

Goal weight: 130
Current regain: 6#
