Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 138
Replies
-
The "Throes of Winter" are upon us. Dark mornings, overcast skies, warm beds and cold floors, being cozy and tucked away in the house seems like the optimal way to spend the day...But not the new me, Up and Adam! Lets get going! Last Challenge I basically went sideways. I did up my calories as I am approaching goal, I also have upped my weights in Body Pump class too. Honestly, not sure what I am doing- seem to have a lot going on and that usually never works well for me.
Goals
- Check into 10 Day Challenge
- Close all 3 Rings Apple Watch and Move and Exercise Minutes x3
- Tighten Logging of food for MFP- Measure everything and dirty the stupid dishes to measure my recipes and break them down

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12- 121.2 - Took my sleeping medication last night, did not sleep the night before and had massive migraine yesterday, quit pickleball after second game was becoming so nauseous. Feeling better this morning but stiff, hopefully will stretch before BSF this morning and play pickleball this afternoon.
01/13- 122.2 Out of the Blue..took me by surprise.
01/14- 121.0 Out of the Blue!!! Again! No Out to dinner, anything unusual.
01/15-121.6
01/16-121.0 Honestly so frustrated-Do not want to be TMI- But the elusive menopause is really getting to me and looking back may be adding to my frustration and not understanding what is going on with my body.
01/17-120.4 I am so hormonally screwed up and I am living in opposite world here! I read the Stickie on refeeds and thought I would try that Friday and Saturday- I just really felt I have plateaued. I did not go crazy but I took my daughter out for a Sushi lunch, had an almond biscotti at the car dealer's car wash, had a handful of chips with my glass of wine last evening- still logged everything and was just a smidgeon under. Shocked! Need to be prepared for a tomorrow pop up- but will be happy about today.

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

So I guess that yesterday, i edited my word document for my post, but then never posted it.
So today gets to be a two-fer
So, based on my behavior in round 137, I want to get back to the habits of pre-tracking and planning that were working so well for me from Oct 1 through X-mas. Husband being out of town for most of last round made me revert to not planning, since it is “only me”. That behavior then snow balls.
Goals for round 138 are to again try to and lose 1 more lb again. 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
- lost the 1 token pound in round 137, but is was what I hoped for, so all good, right?

Round 138 – starting weight 131.0
1/12 – 130.8 Yesterday was all pre-tracked, but I did make slight tweaks as the day went on. Dairy was good, exercise was good. Feels good to be in “control” again. Today was pre-tracked yesterday and I just finished planning tomorrow and parts of Thursday.
1/13 – 130.0 Pre-tracking again is being helpful. Today 90+% filled in and same for tomorrow. Remaining 10% allow for a little spontaneity. Yesterday was lighter on exercise, but it matched where my head was at. Scale did not seem to mind. Today is also my second to last day as "Nanny". Tomorrow, I have an oral surgeon consult (dental implant?) and I will have broken our "bubble", then Hubby comes home from Florida Saturday, so we will be quarantining together until his negative test next week. Following weekend (23rd) we hope to celebrate grandson's first birthday a week early as starting on the 27th, hubby and I have to deal with movers, contractors and delivery people for my MIL's new condo and we are presumed contaminated again. COVID is certainly making regular life a challenge.
1/14 – 129.8 As mentioned yesterday, today was pre-tracked already, but tomorrow’s is not. My babysitting is shifted today to an earlier set of hours due to my afternoon oral surgeon consult. Leaving the house in 35 min and I am still in PJ’s – overslept. I really should start setting alarms. Will be home earlier as well. I will get on planning and tracking for tomorrow and the next few days.
1/15 – 129.0 ok, so the scale says that I am at THAT number and I need to mentally sort out what to do.
I think first step is to make sure it is real and sticks and I would likely give it a week to check that. After that, I have pros and cons. Pros are clothing that I have fit again, 129 is a logical weight for me and a few years ago, I did maintain weight between 128 and 131 for a long period of time. Cons are that waist is still “thick” (30”) but not sure how much is menopause related and how much can be fought, I also still have a bit more pooch under by broken post-pregnancy abdominal skim and above my double surgery scars. At DD’s wedding, May 2017, I was accidentally between 124 and 126 (dress ended up not fitting right), but I remember how much flatter the broken skin was and how the pooch was actually feeling hollow at time. Anyhow, just what’s going through my mind. Let’s see how this round closes out and if this sticks.........ARGH, just noticed that I have not pre-tracked today as I planned!
1/16 – 129.8 Yesterday was a perfect day based on CICO and exercise, so this makes it clear that I need to give the scale and my body time to find homeostasis. Also yesterday, I took the time to fully track through next Friday. Since Hubby is coming home after travel, we will be quarantined until a negative test comes back. Heading to the grocery store in 15 minutes with my list prepared from my tracking.
1/17 – 129.0 Pre-tracked day is so much easier. So yesterday, was grocery store, finish straightening house, head to daughter for last babysitting before I am quarantining, arrive home to hubby already there, start making dinner w/ new recipe, then chill in the evening. Was not motivated to throw in more nighttime exercise, so I am glad I got creative at my daughter’s small condo. For 23 minutes, I went up and down the stairs to their basement for 3 round trips per minute. Not a ton of exercise, but it felt good to find control in my day.

I’m not sure what happened to yesterday — it was morning, and then poof! bedtime. I’m really enjoying my Tenpercent Happier meditation challenge (free) and decided to get an annual membership (on sale @ 40% off). Today I’m diving into the Intuitive Eating meditation class as well as the challenge — I got a lot out of the book Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Triobole. Yesterday DH wanted to order from a lovely local Italian restaurant. Normally, I’d have gotten a high-calorie something with pasta, but I thought about what I really wanted and ordered a beautiful, satisfying salad of greens, Gorgonzola, and grilled chicken with raspberry-olive oil dressing, and a cup of minestrone. I think DH was a little jealous! 😁 I’ve also started researching bikes — I miss my bike (I sold it a few years ago when I was having some balance issues — turned out to be inflammation). We have many miles of beautiful walking & bike trails here, and every time I walk them, I think about riding, too. Between that and flower catalogs, I’m having happy fantasies! Hoping you’re all finding bits of joy.

Woopsie! DH made his famous (!) chicken penne Alfredo last night, and I didn’t realize that was the plan when I had a healthy but hefty lunch. In the spirit of intuitive eating, I enjoyed both and moved on. Today I’m craving salad with canned salmon and a walk — supposed to be 40F this afternoon! I’m enjoying my meditation classes/sessions a lot. Last night I used one of the sleep meditations and wow, I fell asleep before the end of the session and slept really well (which I haven’t been due to thinking and pain, which is worse at night). All good.

A bit more than I’d planned, but not terrible, and I went for a lovely 3-mile walk in the afternoon. Hope to do the same today. Wishing you well!
1/15 - 1817
Yesterday was lovely — mid-40s and sunny, so I got a nice walk in. This morning is cold with “wintry mix.” But it is January in the American MidwestI feel a bit puffy this morning — we had gyros yesterday. I ate just the meat, veggies, and tzatziki, but I think it was a tad salty. I also splurged on a cranberry-orange muffin my neighbor brought over. I met my meditation goal yesterday. Planning a light food day today plus some writing, reading, knitting, meditating, and who knows? Maybe housework? Nah! ❄️🥗🧘🏻🍳🧑🏻💻🧶📖❄️
1/16 - 1839
It’s a beautiful, cold morning, trees laced with snow. Beautiful to look at, slippery to walk on. I think I’ll make a nice soup or vegetarian chili. Have a lovely Saturday, all!
1/17 - 1983
Met my meditation goals. Ate a bit more than planned. Took two 20-minute walks. I’m thinking of rearranging my office today — moving my heavy desk should be a little exercise! Enjoy!

01/17 - 148.6 - Quite expected. Not a ton of water and late dinner out. Broke fast at 10.25hrs and glad I ate before we left. Next meal wasn't until dinner and I didn't feel hungry until I started eating. Boy did my body need it, I felt so much better after - guess I didn't realize how weak I was feeling. Sore today and retaining water, as expected. We all helped Fam "break ground" on the new land by clearing out some brush and digging a fire pit and building a stone ring from large rocks we found throughout the property. 16k steps and lots of lifting heavy items for hours on end means I'll need some rest today to recover. Not sure food plan. Dinner was late so my fast doesn't end until 3pm so I have time to figure things out.

Previous Day's Comments01/12 - Eggrolls and wine? I'm not at all sure. Some type of (homemade) asian soup with meatballs and bok choy. Egg rolls and (homemade) fried tofu with peanut sauce. Definitely lack of sleep. Stayed up to watch Steelers-Browns game Sunday night and stayed up to watch college football championship last night. I'm feeling it today. Fasted 19hrs yesterday. 75oz water. Meetings upon meetings upon meetings today and I just want to sleep right now. Bleh. Hopefully I can manage a good wake up stretch here shortly.
EDIT: Wondering if eating later is also a cause - typically I like to be at 11-12+hrs into fasting when I weigh, but I also had a later dinner so I was only at 8.75hrs fasting when I stepped on the scale this morning. Don't want to postpone weigh in since I want to wake up with a nice glass of water but it could have impact? Also thinking the future when I have to commute again - I'll be up and moving at 4-430am and dinner will be at probably closer to 730-8pm by the time I get home. Will be interesting to see how that works out with daily weighing. Especially since weekends will be VERY different as I can sleep in! Just a mindless thought as I wait for my meeting to start. Thoughts, anyone?
01/13 - Shocked at this. Homemade au gratin potatoes last night (a favorite) and that has quite a bit of dairy to it which typically causes bloating for a few days. Probably see it tomorrow. Otherwise had steak, roasted carrots, and some cooked cabbage (don't know how she makes it, but its DELICIOUS). 90oz water. Fasted 16hrs which I'm super proud of since I'm not used to fasting until past noon anymore. Need to keep pushing myself through mini hunger pains like I did. They passed quickly, luckily. Maybe that's why I'm down, too? Lunch was small - small bowl of leftover soup, a blueberry waffle, and a fig newton for a "dessert". Did some serious leg workout and boy am I sore in the thighs today! Trying to rebuild my legs/booty again - been to sedentary for too long. Now that I think about it- surprised I'm not up from DOMS, either.
01/14 - I'm quite happy with maintaining after the last few days of major bounces. Lunch was a salad with my spinach (about to go bad), croutons, leftover steak, and strawberry poppyseed greek yogurt dressing with a small bowl of mixed fruit. Dinner was salmon with this whiskey glaze I thought would be delightful (it was) and FamWife made roasted sweet potatoes (yum, been craving those) and tried a new salad - cucumber avocado with a dressing. The dressing was also supposed to be used for the salmon, but we decided the whiskey glaze I bought would be better. It was wonderful! Water was 90oz on the dot. Fasted 17.5hrs. Tad bit tired though - been sleeping so hard the last couple nights and these last two mornings my alarm pulled me out of a dream. Those are the days I really struggle to get moving because I'm so groggy being jolted awake from deep sleep. Hopefully, like yesterday, a nice morning stretch here in a bit will wake me up a bit.
01/15 - Really shocked by this. I got hit with the hunger monster bad yesterday. I struggled to make it to 16.5hr fast. Then I ate but was still very hungry. No amount of water could help. So got more food. Finally felt full only to then be told we were having pizza for dinner! Oh I was nervous. I ate until satiated, though could've easily eaten more (yay, good job, me!). Water was a touch over 90oz. Woke up 45 minutes early today, unable to sleep. I have to be at a town 45 minutes away to get our new truck's windows tinted. BF wanted to do it last week so he could go. Unfortunately this week he has way too many meetings and can't. So I'm waking up earlier than I do for work on my day off to drive out there. I'm going to be so tired later, I'm sure. Dinner is being provided by our friend so I'm going to try my best to fast long enough it will offset any madness tonight.
01/16 - Wasn't expecting that. Had a few beers last night, stayed up late goofing off. Definitely expected to be up a lot more than I am. Hopefully that means I'm a bit more stabilized at this weight. Fasted 17.75hrs yesterday. Water was bad due to not having access to a public bathroom for 6hrs. Couldn't catch up after I got home. Today will be interesting. Because of the later evening beers, my 16hr window ends at 250pm - we are going to Fam's newly bought (as of Wednesday) land to help get things set up and do some physical labor preparations. Not sure when we will head that way so I may have to break my fast early to fuel me a bit since I won't have access to any food while out there. Will grab a portable snack, but that's it. Water will be tough, but will see about grabbing some water at the store before we go for refills.

01/14 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Didn't get yoga in. Too many meetings first thing and didn't want to change back into workout clothes. Today I'm going to be gone half the day with the truck so not sure I'll get much in. Will try to do some dedicated stretching while the guy works on the truck, though.
01/15 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Was on the go first thing in the morning, no opportunity for a dedicated stretch. Unfortunately, no heat in the office so I was bundled up and frigid! I couldn't feel my toes by the time the guy was finished. Came home to shower since I caught a chill I couldn't shake and curled up in a blanket after.

Day, Weight, Comment
1/11 – 205.2 – I fasted yesterday, so I expect this weight will increase tomorrow. 15,000 steps, 15 mins aerobics. I’d like to reduce time mindlessly scrolling on my phone. I also need to get into the habit of lifting weights for at least a few minutes most days to strengthen my upper body.
1/12 – 207 – 12,800 steps, 20 mins aerobics yesterday. I expected my weight to bounce up, but I was hoping it would be more like a pound rather than 2 pounds. Still struggling with too much grazing during the day, standing at the cupboard mindlessly snacking, eating the whole bowl of trail mix while scrolling on my phone. Going to really try to focus on controlling what I put in my mouth today. Today’s focus: STAY AWAY FROM THE SNACK BOWL. SIT DOWN TO EAT. EAT FRUIT AND VEGGIES INSTEAD OF NUTS AND CRACKERS. I also need to start lifting weights again. I just do simple dumbbells at home and I actually like it, but for some reason I’m avoiding it lately, possibly because I’m spending so much time on other exercise. I have a tendency sometimes to avoid doing things that are good for me and I enjoy for some bizarre reason! Still doing well with steps and keeping a trend of YouTube workouts going. I am starting to look forward to the Sunday fast and need a more formal plan for calorie control during the week – limiting my eating to smaller windows of time. I’d been trying to fast on Wednesdays, but we’re getting meal kits delivered and it just doesn’t work with the schedule we’re on. Need to work out a better plan.
1/13 – 207.2 – 13,715 steps, 50 min aerobics, 10 min weights. Depressing results on the scale, but yesterday was better in terms of snacking. Daily weigh-ins are a good motivator/wake-up call to keep me focused. Continue to focus today on being mindful of what I’m eating; avoiding eating while standing, walking, reading, watching TV, resisting the kitten trail mix bowl.
1/14 – 206.6 – 14,442 steps, 30 min aerobics. At least I’m moving in the right direction! Will keep being mindful of what I’m eating. Trying Noom and a good “psych tip” today was to expand my food options rather than always looking at this process as taking things away. I’ve done this intuitively, especially when I tried a plant-based diet for a while, but I’ll do it more consciously now. Meal kits from Blue Apron are a great way to get the “additive” effect or reward feeling and mix up the menu with healthy options that are new. Check. Doing that. Last week tried “Lesser Evil Grain Free Paleo Puffs – No-Cheese Cheesiness” as a replacement for Cheetos. So freaking good! And they actually fill you up (though costly). Going to Costco next week and will go wild with some new fruit or veggie and/or healthy salty snack. Today also going to write out an eating/fasting schedule that will work with my spring work schedule so I can get the habit started before the semester is in full swing.
1/15 – 205.8 – 13,582 steps, 50 min aerobics. Woo-hoo! Let’s keep up the progress. Today: WEIGHTS, prepare veggies for snacking.
1/16 – 206.4 -- 12,200 steps, 25 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. Ate a pretty big, salty dinner last night but did well throughout the day and made lots of veggie snacks. Hike/snowshoe outing today and will probably go up a little in weight tomorrow. We’ll see. My cycle is all over the place and it’s hard to know when I have PMS. It was completely out of whack a couple years ago when I was near 230 pounds but it had stabilized after I dropped down below 180 and didn’t start getting irregular again until this summer as my weight creeped up into the 190s. Not sure if it’s just age or a combination of age and my weight. Whatever the case, I’m hoping to see a drop after Sunday’s fast that will stick. Have a great day, everyone!
1/17 – 205.8 – 20,500 steps (around 9 miles walking on flat, rocky, sandy, icy ground). Amazed I didn’t go up again! I’m really hoping to get to 204 by the end of this challenge, but even if I don’t, I’m feeling better in my body and more in control of my eating.

01/12 165.6 ~ {Steps 17,554} ~ I’m really focusing on my morning walks and nighttime yoga. It’s helping my sleeping habits.
01/13 165.6 ~ {Steps 10,063} ~ Today didn’t go as planned but on the bright side, I didn’t get my emotions, yay!
01/14 165.4 ~ {Steps 17,460} ~ It was a gorgeous day outside so I got a marvelous walk in this afternoon plus the day few by so snacking didn’t play a factor. Tonight I’ll definitely get some yoga in.
01/15 165.4 ~ {Steps 12,356} ~ Fantastic day except at night I decided to make hubby homemade biscuits and my night time snacks started unfortunately. Hence the scale increase..
01/16 166.2 ~ {Steps 23,218} ~ Now, I’m trying to undo my slip up from yesterday. I didn’t have any major plans so since it was a gorgeous day, I was able to get a few walks outside....

Start weight for 138 challenge: 323.5 lbs
Aim for 21 January: 320.9
1/12 - 323.5lbs. Up a pound, but that's probably because it was my birthday at the weekend and I overindulged with champagne and a takeaway! Back to tracking and eating well this week, so fingers crossed it comes off as quickly as the Christmas weight did.
1/13 -322.7lbs. And back down again, so that's good. I'm hungry this week! Definitely sticking to it, but it's slow.
1/14 -322.7lbs. Would love to see the scales come down - fingers crossed for tomorrow.
1/15 -322.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
1/12 - 170
1/13 - 169.9 stood very still on the scale as it couldn't decide between this or 170 for a second
1/14 - 169.2 jumped off the scale so it wouldn't change it's mind!
Shortened the IF eating window yesterday as I just wasn't hungry when the window usually opens at 11 a.m. Closed the window at the usual 7 p.m. I don't think IF 18:6 would be doable everyday at this point. Will be interesting to see what the scale says tomorrow as I will likely go back to 16:8 today.
1/15 - 170.0 stood on the scale a while thinking it would go back to 169.9. It didn't. lol Don't mind staying stable. Drops-&-Pops usually mean a whoosh is coming for me.
1/16 - 170.5. Always, always have the pie a’la mode!
1/17 - 169.4 not a whoosh or a low for this round but better than yesterday!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/11 …..207.0 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/12 …..207.0 ….. I traveled yesterday and am THRILLED that (so far) nothing extra showed up on the scale. Because I woke up earlier than usual for the travel, I fell asleep much earlier than usual last night. That meant no late night eating. It really helped!
01/13 …..207.2 ….. This is just a fluctuation. Yesterday I actually worked to make sure I got in my 10,000 steps. I ended with 12,123 steps. Before retirement, the steps came pretty easily and automatically on my fitbit during work. Now….. well, I will have to work for them.
01/14 …..207.0 ….. This is more like maintaining than losing. I made a nice keto version of stuffed green peppers for dinner and shared with a friend during movie night. However, my late night snacks were not huge, but not good choices. Self-sabotage! Today is a lazy day. I’m not getting in much movement. I feel very tired but I will watch my meals and snacks today. I just need to see something, ANYTHING. Come on 6!!!
01/15 …..xxxxx ….. Woke up to a friend banging on my sliding glass door to get in before I was even up. Made coffee and drank a cup or two before I remembered I hadn’t had a chance to weigh. I did well yesterday with my diet until late at night. A mini binge so I am a little afraid of the scale.
01/16 …..207.0 ….. Clearly the choices are keeping me from major gaining, but not helping me to kick-start this journey again and start losing. I am going to have to tweak, and I know it is in the snack dept. I slept over 6 hours last night, which is unheard of! Yesterday was a 100% rest day. Actually went to bed at 6:45 pm to watch tv until my usual late. Did NOTHING all day, just because I’m retired now and can! Felt tired, really, and listened to my body. Slept in later than usual getting in the extra hours and feel better today for it.
01/17 …..206.8 ….. Yay!!!! Finally, a 6. Thrilled! Also happy that I have not typed in blue this round so far. I hope to keep that up!
01/18 …..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.
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.
January 11 – 5531 steps. Travel Day, not much movement.
January 12 – 12,123 steps. Worked for them.
January 13 – 8580 Steps. Fell short due to another movie night.
January 14 – 7184 Steps
January 15 – 5545 steps on a rest day.
January 16 – 7244 Finding it difficult in retirement (and dead of slippery winter) to get my 10,000 steps in.11 -

01/12- 134.6. Increase from yesterday, probably due to "sampling" two new (high-salt) recipes I tried out yesterday. Grateful for the slip, though, as it spurred me to search out this support/encouragement/accountability forum! Good luck, everyone!
01/13- 134.2. Got some stretching and indoor walking in yesterday! Goals for today: move for 20 minutes, drink at least 8 glasses of water, and stick to today's pre-tracked food plan.
01/14- 132.4. I met all of yesterday's mini-goals! And my body has been releasing some of the excess salt (and therefore water weight) from a couple of days ago. I got about an hour of walking in, along with some calisthenics. Goals for today: move for 25 minutes, drink at least 8 glasses of water, and stick to today's pre-tracked food plan! Let's have a great day, everyone!
01/15- 132.6. Didn't adhere to the pre-tracked macros, but still ended up within my calories. Walked for an hour, 20 minutes of calisthenics. This (small) bump up would usually make me waiver in my efforts (as silly as that may sound to some), so this morning, I am especially thankful for this group, and especially thankful for the long-term users who have posted previous rounds where they either didn't lose weight or even gained a bit, but kept going and went on to achieve their weight and health goals. Thank you very much!!
Today's goals: move at least 25 minutes, stick to pre-tracked menu, and drink 8 glasses of water.
01/16- 131.2. Made my way back to where I was right before this round started! Stuck to my pre-tracked menu, got in an hour of walking and a few push-ups and squats.
Today's goals: same as yesterday!
01/17- 130.2. Yesterday, I walked for just over an hour and did some squats and push-ups. Had some off-plan food in the morning, but ended within my calorie and macro goals. Today has been busy, but good, so far! That number was encouraging to see!

Goals for this round:
- Get outside with the kids at least once a day
- No snacking after dessert at night
- Continue the beginner plank challenge
1/12 - 131.2 - Hello Round 138! I’m ready for another good set of 10 days. The kids and I played outside for a good chunk of yesterday and I hope to take them for a hike today. I also held my plank for a full minute this morning! It may have been a mistake to try and do it after a 30 minute strength workout, but I managed the full 60 seconds.
1/13 - 130.8 - Wasn’t able to get the kids outside yesterday; it was grey and raining and despite my encouragement they wanted to stay inside. So we painted and read stories and played... they even played well together which is a minor miracle. I played some Beat Saber last night to make up for the lack of a hike - that game is so sneaky! The better you get, the harder you are working and the next thing you know it’s an hour later and you’re shaking and dripping with sweat. Took it easy this morning with just some yoga and my plank challenge.
1/14 - 131.0 - DH and I pulled out a board game and played last night - one we haven’t touched in months. It was great fun, but getting back up to speed meant we stayed up later than we planned. I also ate a serving of Goldfish - I accounted for it in my calories, but I’m not used to eating something so salty that late now. It meant I woke up feeling very tired and heavy from the start this morning. I tried to work it out with some dance, but just wasn’t feeling it. I’m glad I still got a workout in, even if it wasn’t up to my usual calorie burn. I also did my plank - I was trembling for the last 10 seconds but held on to the end.
1/15 - 130.6 - Cold, grey, foggy morning - I really hope it burns off since I feel completely “blah.” We ordered delivery last night - I cut my cheeseburger in half and got fruit as my side (plus snuck a few fries from the kids) which kept me nicely in a calorie deficit. I had some technical difficulties while trying to exercise this morning (which contributed to my bad mood) so it was nice to see the drop on the scale.
1/16 - 131.4 - *wince*. Time of month starting and just a rough day mentally led to way too much snacking yesterday, and this is the result. I need to find something else I can do for a quick mental “pick-me-up” - I don’t want to keep using food as a treat, but my other go-tos that help me feel better (reading, coloring, bubble bath) all require time and solitude. And those are things in very short supply for me. I did HIIT and core workouts this morning, and continued my plank challenge. I’ll try and fit some Beat Saber or a hike in today too to try and make up for yesterday.
1/17 - 132.0 - Wrong way! I know it’s just time of the month affecting the scale. Hopefully I’ll be back to normal by the end of the round. Beautiful spring-like weather here this weekend - went on a 3.5 mile hike with my daughter this afternoon. Didn’t get to exercise this morning - though giving a toddler “horsie rides” is a pretty good core workout - but I did make sure to do my plank.

SW: 160.8 lbs (as of 1/10/2021)
GW: 140
Comment: I've lost 20 lbs since November 2019 using the slow and steady way (also have been intermittent fasting since November 2019, too). I'd like to be at 130 but don't think that is realistic, so I am focusing on 140lbs.
Goals over the next 10 days:
(1) Meet step goal 5/7 days
(2) Drink green tea with honey when my stress levels get high and I want to snack
(3) Eat more nutrient-dense foods instead of processed crap
Day/Weight/Comment
01/12: 162.9 (I am up from 2 days ago because I have been eating more - pure and simple - own it and move on)
01/13: 159.9 (not sure where this drop came from – probably because I had gorged on lots of food with lots of salt on the 11th – I’ll take it!)
01/14: 157.5 (I am almost back to where I was in December - I was at 156.5 and have been stuck there for about 3 months. So, I hope hoping that I keep up with this downward trend and break through the plateau. Focusing on "just 10 days" will hopefully put this into smaller chunks of my journey and not be so overwhelmed with 30 days. I also met my step goal and made really good food choices yesterday).
01/15: 159.6 (I know I have a gain, but I am ok with this. I had a really good day yesterday with food choices; I ate a lot of nutrient dense foods. I got my step goal in as well as a workout. My gain is because I had popcorn and a few slices of cheese last night before I went to bed. This always happens when I do that. I am quite happy with my overall day yesterday).
01/16: 159.5 (I am surprised this is down. Yesterday was a very stressful day and I ate poorly; chips, chips, cheese, chips, you get the point. I also waited to weigh myself; I weighed in the early afternoon in stead of morning after a longer fast, so that could be why I am down. I am sure if I had weighed in the morning, it would have been bad. It’s afternoon now and I have eaten well, hopefully the end of the day will still be good. I want to get back to what I weighed on the 14th……sigh………I did reach my step goal and took a nice walk yesterday. )
01/17: 159.0 (Besides the cookie monster taking me over for about 30 minutes, I had a great eating day. I didn’t get my step goal in, but I did get some exercise in and my heart rate up. I slept well last night and enjoyed some quiet time in my room which has become my sanctuary – I’ve redecorated it over these Covid months to be a place of peace and relaxation. My daughter and I love my room now and avoid “the boys” while they watch tv in the other room…….peace and quiet…..ahhhhhhh……..).

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

Y'all, I took measurements this morning, and I'm so happy! I've lost 3 inches in my waist and 4 inches overall other places. Clothes are definitely more loose, too. Progress! Another hike planned for tomorrow. It's supposed to snow, so we will see if I can actually get to the Appalachian Trail tomorrow. If so, these will be new miles for us--a stretch we've not yet done. Feels so good to be back in the woods!14

Last round was a struggle against snacking, this time the plan is: to stick to the plan!
SW:195.5/88.7
CW: 191.3/86.8
Next goal: 189.5/86 (BMI: 29.8)
Aims:- Experiment with different strategies to mitigate stress eating.
- Don't restrict KJ further to "make up" for overeating - it just creates more stress!
01/12 = 88.701/17 = 86.8 .Halfway!
Another hot day yesterday, I followed the pre-planned menu but snacked off-menu all day too and predictably went over KJ again - these repeated overs are adding up - must figure out a way to cope with the heat better!
Yesterday I had a spicy soup for lunch that felt stabilising and nutritious, maybe a solution is fasting on soup till the evening on hot days? At this point, I'm willing to try just about anything to stop the endless munching
01/13 = 88.4
A cool change yesterday so I didn't get to try out my "Hot day soup fasting" technique but I was able to stick to my menu and limit snacking
Under KJ but only just as we're still making our way through the leftover Christmas cookies -from now on I will only buy/make enough treats For The Day Of and save myself the stress (and cost) of leftover treat foods.
01/14 = 88
Theme for today: 1980's Training montage
No Retreat, No Surrender!
01/15 = 87.5
The scales were indecisive about this sweet .5 drop but I'll take it!
I'm moving bookcases and large furniture around today and need every deterrent I can get not to reward my hard work with sugar.
01/16 = 87
Dessert was stewed rhubarb and cream with some cake yesterday (which had been pre-planned as an extravagance) but if I had known I'd get to 87 today... hope I can hold on to this loss for the rest of the round.
I tried some Shirataki noodles last night -put them in a stir fry, (Shirataki are translucent, gelatinous traditional Japanese noodles made from the konjac yam -wiki) it was quite nice and
low KJ

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 138 (round 70 for me ) I'm in for another round it's obvious to me that 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 given that I was there the last round but the two last days it went a rye! 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
01/12 133 – starting to come back down again, good controlled day yesterday. 7.9 miles walked /jogged yesterday. Strange day exercisewise; had to stay in for a parcel to be collected anytime between 9 & 5, with hindsight I should have got out at 7, but didn't think of it until later!! So jogged in place for 20 mins midmorning & then after delivery man picked up the parcel – midafternoon – Imanaged to get out for an hours jogging/walking. Still to complete my 5K from 2 rounds ago, hope to make it this week!
01/13 132.2 – 12.12 miles walked yesterday including 25 mins of continuous jogging.
01/14 132.2 - 11.15 miles walked yesterday (no running as rest day)
01/15 131.6 - 9.57 miles walked/jogged yesterday including 25 mins continuous jogging. Happy with how the round is going & getting back close to the lower weight of the last round.
01/16 131.6 – 14.61 miles walked yesterday – didn't plan to walk this far! Dropped car off for service other side of town and walked a meandering route home intending DH to take me to pick it up after work. I had donned my running shoes & had just got out the door when the garage phoned to say the car was ready, spontaneously I changed back into my walking boots and walked back to pick up the car, hence no run yesterday.
01/17 133 – 9.81 miles walked yesterday. I know the uptick is due to high sodium in bacon, prawns & cheeses together with last nights pizza- 96 calories & 15g fat over. Today I'm not going to let that send me off track with a chocolate binge like I did last week!! Numbers'll soon come down again !!
01/18 132.4 – 9.64 miles walked yesterday, numbers coming down as expected.
01/19
01/20
01/21
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ﾼ6 -
Y'all, I took measurements this morning, and I'm so happy! I've lost 3 inches in my waist and 4 inches overall other places. Clothes are definitely more loose, too. Progress! Another hike planned for tomorrow. It's supposed to snow, so we will see if I can actually get to the Appalachian Trail tomorrow. If so, these will be new miles for us--a stretch we've not yet done. Feels so good to be back in the woods!
Well done, a NSV which I personally think is better than the numbers on the scale.
Fingers crossed for your hike, sounds fabulous, just exactly what I'd like to be doing today x.5
