Start weight (31 August 2020): 349.2 lbs
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
1/16 -322.2 lbs
1/17 -320.9 lbs Wow, so pleased to have got to this weight - which was my goal for this challenge; let's see if I can hang in there for the next few days!
1/18 -320.7 lbs Yay, that's good. Going well, and it's Monday so always on track on a Monday, fingers crossed

It was so hot today. Didn't get much done, but didn't feel like eating much either. Trying to stay hydrated.
13/1 114.0kg
Still hot, but I got to the gym today.
14/1 113.7kg
Made a low sugar cheesecake today. Put in extra lime, which worked really well. It is worth fitting it into my calories.
15/1 113.9kg
Took my son to the waterpark, and made the mistake of trying to keep up with him. So many stairs. I will be feeling this in my thighs and knees for days.
16/1 114.2kg
I've heard that water weight goes up after strenuous exercise, so I am putting this bounce down to that. I didn't sleep well as my knee was really sore. I tried to keep active today without overdoing it again.
17/1 113.9kg
Slack day.
18/1 114.7kg
Huge bump, but it is hopefully a cycle thing. I'll have to rely on the science, rather than getting reassured by the scale.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12 176.2 After the swoosh, I was expecting a bump up. Glad I didn’t get one. Had a really good, controlled, food day yesterday and was able to stick with the No Junk Food Challenge.
01/13 175.4 Yay! Back to where I was before Mom’s illness. No Junk Food Challenge = Ate mostly vegetables and protein and that seems to work for me. Snacked on berries.
01/14 174.6 Things are falling back into place now. I’m hitting my stride again, so hopefully I can make some progress now. My IF ended up being 18:6 yesterday because I just wasn’t hungry at work until then. I didn’t set that as a goal. No Junk Food Challenge =
My cravings are much less now and my snacking consists of berries and a mandarin orange primarily.
01/15 174.2 This No Junk Food Challenge hits the mark for me, especially coupled with the exercise challenge and IF. Fasted 16.5 hours and walked in a fasted state. I’ve done a really good job this week with food choices and I think that has made all the difference with my cravings…which are gone—let me knock wood really quick!
01/16 173.6 Continued success with the trifecta of No Junk Food Challenge, our exercise challenge, and IF of 17:7. I’m feeling the best I’ve felt in a long time, too. Hoping for a short hike in the Smokies this afternoon after babysitting my DGD.
01/17 174.4 This always happens after a strenuous hike in the mountains with so much elevation change, so I was expecting it. It was a lovely, snowy day in the Smokies though, and I thoroughly enjoyed my day. IF—16:8
01/18 175 I think this is salt. We had cheese and meat tray for dinner last night, but I ate hardly anything else the rest of the day, so we will see how much of this stays around.Hiking again today if the roads don’t get bad so this may go up again, but it won’t be from over eating.

JANUARY EXERCISE GOALS:
EXERCISE BIKE—100 miles
WALKING—50 miles (outside or with walking workout videos if weather is bad)
HIKING—at least one hike in the mountains during January
01/12 2 miles with Leslie Sansone. It was COLD, with a rain/snow mix most of the day. I thoroughly enjoy her walking workouts. I should do them more often!
01/13 No formal workout yesterday—last meeting didn’t end until 8:30 pm and I was whooped. Hoping to get in a walk at lunch and a bike ride tonight. Need to be halfway to my goals by the morning of the 16th.
01/14 10-mile bike ride which puts me over the halfway mark for biking (a couple days early). Gotta focus on walking so that goal doesn’t get out of reach. Right now my average is up to right at 2 miles/day left. I can do that easily if I will just carve out the time. So, there’s my motivation!
01/15 4.35 miles of walks and walking videos—2.35 miles walk at work followed by 2 miles with Leslie Sansone
01/16 1.28 miles walking and 9.09 miles on the exercise bike
01/17 10.82 mile hike (25,500 steps)

@dreamweaver_55 I'm intrigued by your Bullet Journal goal. Can you tell me more? I love the idea of Bullet Journaling, but have never done one.
Hi UTmom! I just do a basic bullet journal, nothing fancy, just list of things I'd like to get done for the week and then daily page to organize my head for the day. I also try to jot down 3 good things for the day or a couple lines of something good that happened. Some people are super fancy with drawings, etc., but I was not blessed with an artistic bent AT ALL, so I stick with a basic outline! It helps me to keep focused on things that are important to me, goals, projects, To Do lists, rather than just doing whatever comes into my head at the moment! I did buy the book (written by....Ryan H-something?) after reading his blog for a bit, and the book helped a lot with structure. It's definitely worth giving it a try--pretty flexible in that you can make it into whatever you like really! You can start with any notebook you have lying around, don't really need anything special:)

Challenge SW:129
Challenge GW: 126
Day/Weight/Comment
01/12 129 (This is high for me: yesterday was a bad day before I decided to join this challenge, also it’s my TOM. I am so happy to be here with you all. I have gained 10 pounds since the summertime. I am really struggling and I need to turn things around and start exercising more. I am looking at short term goals instead of the full picture so I think this challenge will help. The first half of 2020 I was in my maintenance range. I want to get back.) 1345 calories/3.3 miles walking
01/13 127.6 Happy about the weigh in. I was hoping for a nice drop the first day back on track.
01/14 126.2 Yay, binge weight and TOM weight is coming off. It will probably slow down. Focus is needed.
01/15 127 Up some unfortunately. Not a bad day yesterday but more calories than I should have.
01/16 126.6 Yay, I’ll take it. Lots of improvement this challenge so far. I have stopped stress eating 2,000+ calories and getting back gradually to where I was before. Progress. I need to put in more 1200 calorie days though.
01/17 127.4 Bummed out. Maybe from a salty meal plus I had another 1800 calorie day which is not good enough.
01/18 127 Yay, down some. 1700 calories yesterday and a workout so some improvement. Today I have 1300 calories planned: need to stick with it.

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 the 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.
1/18 – 129.4 Bouncing around. Guessing the typical salt issue. Not much to say today!!!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12 - 144
01/13 - 144.5 - I was wondering when my weekend snacking was going to catch up with me. Sometimes it takes a few days. I've been staying around weight loss calories this week and I hope to get my weight back down a pound before the upcoming weekend.
01/14 - 144 - That's better!
01/15 - 143.5 - I'm very happy I managed to get back to this weight today. I'm going to try to stay closer to weight loss calories this weekend so I don't have a mid week bounce up next week.
01/16 - 143.5
01/17 - 144.5
01/18 - 145 - I did not follow my plan at all this weekend. Plenty of salt and carbs. Back to lower calories and plenty of water today.

Goal weight for this round: Seeing lower 115 or squeaking into 114 would be fantastic!
Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days01/18 Let’s be real... this weekend was a bleep show food wise except for the whole grain pancakes. TOM caused me to be really uncomfortable and didn’t help me food-wise. I did end up doing 30 minutes on the spin bike yesterday and a 45 minute yoga session. So, at least my activity is consistent. I’m a work in progress with food but at least 85% of the time it’s solid. The good thing is that I love healthy food, but I also love food that isn’t good for you all the time.
01/12 116.2 I drank more water than normal yesterday and the tacos for dinner were a touch salty, so I’m not worried about the blip up 😊. The tacos came out yummy, I used a ton of aji dulce peppers I froze back in October. So, I think it ended up being equal parts peppers to ground beef and one onion too. Today’s breakfast will be more bone broth with an egg or two, two slices high fiber toast with butter, and an orange. My snack/lunch will be Greek yogurt, sesame cashews, sliced banana and chopped apple. Dinner will be left over tacos from last night, but I’ll also make a cabbage slaw to go with the tacos. Looking forward to a solid day of healthy but yummy food!
01/13 115.4 It’s been a busy day so far but my food is well planned out.
01/14 115.8 I have had the hungry horrors today but I think it’s hormonal and tiredness (quite a stormy combo). I haven’t gone over my maintenance calories but it would have been super easy to do so. Breakfast was an egg with leftover roasted potatoes, high fiber toast with cream cheese and ebtb seasoning, and an orange; then I had a fiberful bar; an apple later in the afternoon; then dinner was gnocchi with a small bit of pesto and then tomato sauce; I finished dinner and then had a 1/2 cup roasted purées pumpkin with a tiny bit of maple syrup and like a 1/2 gram of butter. I think I should have tried to get more protein in my day but carbs were what I wanted.
01/15 116.0 The hungry horrors were so much better today! I started my day with 3 scrambled eggs with a slice of American cheese and .75 oz sharp cheddar, two slices of toast with about 2ish tsp butter(the scale wasn’t cooperating so I estimated the butter, plus a small orange. I’m sipping on a spin drift seltzer now and might have a fiberful bar for a snack if they aren’t all gone. Then, dinner will be Thai takeout but I’m going to get something veggie & lean protein based and have some rice with it. I’ll just accept any of the water weight from the salt. I love Thai food too much to give it up completely.
I slept better last night than I have for a couple weeks, so I think that helped make a difference in the way I feel today!
01/16 Didn’t post
01/17 Not sure if I want to weigh today. TOM started yesterday and was super crampy. Dinner was a bit salty, so my face is feeling a little puffy today. I might try to drink some dandelion tea to help the puffiness and just get plenty of water. I made whole grain pancakes yesterday for breakfast and they tasted like apple cider donuts because instead of milk I used apple cider. They were so tasty and reasonable calorie wise as well!
I also attempted a longer fast yesterday but that didn’t go so well and I realized I do best on the 16/8 15/9 style of fasting. Personally, I just get too hungry on the longer fasts and am not a happy camper.
I plan on making some soup today to use up some CSA produce that’s lingering around here. I’m thinking of a potato, onion, and leek soup. I also have a head of cabbage that I’ll be making a big slaw with to eat as salad for the next few days. I also plan on making some apple sauce with apples we still have around. Tonight’s dinner will be the leek and potato soup with a little bit of steak on the side and the slaw for a veggie. Breakfast will be something healthy whether it's eggs and toast or oatmeal with peanut butter and some other fixins…haven’t decided but I still have a couple of hours to figure that out.
This morning, my husband and I both have the day off and plan on driving down to Newport, RI to get out of the house for a bit and to see a beach we haven’t seen (since I was a kid and he hasn’t ever).
01/12 Did a 60 minute yoga video and plan on doing a 30 minute spin bike video during my lunch break today.
01/13 Did a 40 minute Vinyasa flow yoga video this morning and a 45 minute spin bike workout during my lunch.
01/14 Exercise was good today, I did a 45 minute yoga video, a 20 minute spin bike ride, and finished the work day with a 2ish mile walk around the block. I want to do at least 30 minutes on the bike tomorrow and yoga in the morning.
01/15 Did a 40 minute vinyasa yoga video this morning and a 40 minute spin bike ride. Planning to go for a walk in a bit.
01/16 Did not post but managed to do a 35 minute yoga video but that was it for activity.
01/17 I plan to do yoga and mayyyyybe a 20 minute spin bike ride. (Successfully did 30 minutes on the spin bike and 45 minutes of yoga)
01/18 I plan on doing a 45 minute ride this afternoon and yoga at some point as well.

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!
01/18- 129.8. I honestly did not expect to see the 129's in this round! Yesterday was a good day tracking-wise, and I walked for over an hour and a half. Some leg and arm exercises, too. Plan for today: stick to my pre-tracked menu, drink 8 glasses of water, move for at least 30 minutes, and *be in bed by 10:30!*

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!

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....
01/17 166.6 ~ {Steps 12,727} ~ Even after the horrible text I received from my ex SIL, I didn’t turn to food. I’m definitely learning not to eat my emotions, yay! My my husband decided he wanted pizza but I decided to eat what my plan was, yay.

01/18 - 148.1 - Inching back down somehow. Ended up going back to the land to help bury a dead hog they found on the property and clean up some more. Only fasted 12hrs because of that. Luckily, when we came back, we had more of a linner and finished early. Water wasn't great, but I did focus on that once we were back from the land. I'm off work today so hoping I can run to the store to get gardening supplies. My seed starts are looking really wonderful and they will need to be potted soon. Rain tomorrow and Wednesday so want to get outdoors and do something relaxing - thinking of cleaning out my raised garden bed, as well.

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.
01/17 - 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.

It felt phenomenal! I'm running out of days to meet my goal so I'm hoping this week I have a chance daily to get some yoga in daily. I set a lower goal in hopes that I'd beat it! At least I still have time to! Weekends are usually harder, but I still have 2 work weeks that are easier if I'll just get off my butt to do it
01/02 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓
01/03 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Managed a seated upper body dedicated stretch. Arms, shoulders, sides, back, and belly! Felt so good. Next - lower body (:
01/04 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Got to do two dedicated lower body stretches. Hammys stiff so did a little in morning and a little after dinner.

01/08 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Alright, my morning bed stretch went well. Managed a few upper body stretches through the day. Need to focus more on lower body. The hammies in particular. Will be the focus for today
01/09 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Planned to do yoga but BF got off work and wanted OUT of the house so I didn't get to it. He's still asleep so I'm about to go do some as soon as I hit "post" haha
01/10 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Did my yoga like I promised. Was really nice, actually. Also the weather got quite ick and my lovely screws weren't happy so did a heating pad and additional stretching to try to loosen things up and release pressure on my nerve.
01/11 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Need to do yoga and stop procrastinating. Dedicated time was short, but I managed it after dinner. Getting horrible about putting it off and then only getting short stretches in.
01/12 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Got my yoga in and then did legs and booty. Definitely need to stretch the quads today, woke up with jelly legs!
01/13 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Yoga yoga yoga. I don't know why I don't do it! Well, I do: I'm tired and lazy. But I always feel so much better after! Its the starting part that gets me... I did it yesterday, though I didn't want to and felt way better for it. Need to keep that in mind.
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.
01/16 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Did a lot of stretching while working yesterday. I needed to, body was soooooore. Today I will try to get a dedicated stretch in as I'm having some major DOMS.

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.
1/18 – 204.2 – 16,800 steps, 45 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. WOO-HOO! So pleased to have dropped below 205. I fasted yesterday, so I hope I can maintain close to this low weight. Odd thing: Woke up around 4 a.m. and weighed myself: 203.2. I couldn’t believe it! Then I drank some sparking water and went back to bed. Two hours later I weighed in a pound heavier. I’m almost certain I didn’t misread. I even recorded that weight in MFP and Noom immediately. Oh well. Not going to edit it as I expect to drop below 203 by the end of our next round! Feeling good. Another beautiful day I get to spend outside.

01/12 194.0 First time in a long time I did not walk for lunch. I got in 15 minute last night to make up for it.
01/13 192.9 Wow Hard work paying off. I went to a restaurant yesterday and the calories is so high and half my plate was vegetables. January is such heavy birthday month. Five so far with cousins, sisters and friends, not to mention the twins are turning 4 on the 26th of January.
01/14 194.0 Not surprised to see a fluctuation but still trying…

I am back. 2020 was just a mess for me. In January I was at 135 and then the pandemic hit. I have to come to the conclusion 135 is just to low for me. It takes a ton of consistency and discipline for me to stay at that weight and even 1 day of indulging I can put 5 pounds on. It is heart breaking and destroys my confidence. I am shooting for 145-149 this time and I think that is way more sustainable for my lifestyle. I actually started last Monday at 174.7 (ouch I can't believe I just typed that), but weighed in today at 173.0. So It's better and I am trying to just take it a day at a time.
01/12- 173.0 Today I am working from home to help home school the kids. These are the hard days for me, because I am right next to the fridge all day long. We have not had our kids in school since last March, so working from home a couple of days a week and then the office the other days is the solution for right now.
01/13 - 171.8 Nice, finally a nice little drop. I have been back on the wagon for about 3 weeks now and this is the first nice big drop I have seen. At work today and have my meals planned and will stick to it.
01/14 - 169.8 I am not hating this weight, lol. I am sure it will bounce back up tomorrow as I did not eat dinner last night and only ate a small lunch. I will eat normal today with food that I have all planned out.
01/15 - 171.2 I knew it would bounce up today, so I am completely ok with that. Weigh in day is tomorrow and would love to be at 170.00 something. My happy scale app shows a loss of 1.1 this week, so extremely happy with that. All in all I think it's been a good week. Now I just have to get through the weekend. I am just hoping to be in the 160's by the end of the month.
01/16 - 171.8 did well until dinner time. My husband decided to get carry out, so I am sure this is sodium.
01/17 - 172.8 This is sodium again due to carbs. I was under calories, but we ate subway and then a chicken sandwich for dinner. Carbs always hold on to me for a minute.
01/18 - 173.9 This will drop off hopefully in the next day or two. I am hoping to be back under 170 by the end of the 10 days. I am not giving up even on the weekends anymore.

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! ❄️🥗🧘🏻🍳🧑🏻💻🧶📖❄️

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!

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!
1/18 - 1525
Meditation goals - ✔️ Calories - ✔️ No walk — I started, but we had “wintry mix” and it was slick slick slick. I did rearrange my office, including my big, heavy desk, so there’s that. I made really yummy no-bread salmon patties last night with an extra for lunch today. We watched Brittany Runs a Marathon last night — not as funny as I expected, but wow, the “fat girl” stuff hit home. Brought back memories of training for the half marathon I ran in 2017 and pumped me up to get back to training this spring. Maybe not a running half, but at least a 10K. But not on icy paths! Stay warm & healthy, all!

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……..).
01/18: 159.0 (Yesterday was a cooking day for me; homemade bread, pot of beans, and bone broth. If you find the theme in what I write, I ate really well throughout the day, but I snacked last night……popcorn and granola bars this time. If I hadn’t eaten those last night, I am sure I would be a little down from yesterday. Oh well. Today is my last day of freedom; school starts tomorrow. I am excited to see my students, and I am better about not snacking when I teach. Oh! And I met my step goal. ).

Goals for this round:
- Get outside with the kids at least once a day
- No snacking after dessert at night

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.
1/18 - 130.8 - I was relieved to see that number on the scale this morning - even when I “know” it’s just the time of month and it shouldn’t last, a little part of me is freaking out and thinking I’m going to regain every pound I’ve lost. I did my plank challenge plus strength and dance workouts on Fitness Plus this morning - now to stick to the meal plan today.

@smile_laughter Are you teaching in person or virtually? Our DD wasn’t thrilled about virtual in the beginning but now hopes it continues through May or whenever the school year ends. She currently has COVID (not tested but all of the symptoms) but not bad enough that she can’t teach from home. Four of 5 in the household have it, none bad. The 2 high school seniors have been doing in person classes. One is sick the other seems to be okay and now refers to home as a “germ pit!”5

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

1/12 118.5 Popeye’s chicken and a biscuit. I had a headache all day yesterday and the spicy chicken helped for awhile. 🤷♀️It’s all good.
1/13 118.0 Fasting. Today our baby girl turns 48. She has been feeling not well this week but is continuing to teach from home. Remote school is clearly not working for the children of Las Vegas. Elementary kids who have always had A and B grades are, in many cases, failing. So sad.
1/14 117.5 Still fasting - currently at 38 hours. I feel great. Mammogram today-yippee.
1/15 118.0 My fast lasted 43.5 hours and my macros were good at the end of the day. No TMI x 2 days seems to be the big issue with fasting for me.
1/16 117.0
1/17 117.5 I spent several hours yesterday getting a new phone. I got sidetracked and never read the messages so will catch up tomorrow!
1/18 118.0 Uptick could be from all of the bacon I ate yesterday, as @musicsax said the other day. Soooooo yummy!
