Day/Weight/Comment
01/22 - 145 - Starting the weekend at the top of my maintenance is not how I like to start it. I'm going to track food today and the rest of the weekend so I can try to maintain this weight and not bounce up even further.
01/23 - 145 - First Saturday of tax season in my office. I drove by a McDonald's on my way in and thought of stopping for an egg muffin with hash browns, but I resisted. We'll have a catered lunch today, and I'll try to make good choices or at least make sure my portion size keeps me within a decent calorie range.
01/24 - Forgot to weigh
01/25 - 147.5 - Yikes! I know some of this is sodium but I also know that I made a few bad choices this weekend. Plenty of water today.
01/26 - 146.5 - OK, this weight is probably real. I need to get back into weight loss mode.
01/27 - 146 - I must have dropped a little more water weight yesterday, yay! I've continued to eat well the past couple days so I'm hoping I can see 145 again before the round is over.
01/28 - 146.5 - Oh well, I know I've been eating well. Just a normal fluctuation.

1/27-199.2 busy day yesterday with lots of running around. Didn’t workout so glad I held steady
1/28- 200.2 yesterday started out good but by dinner time it had all went to hell. Gotta get these candy and cupcakes out of my home! Goals today - exercise, water, log meals!

01/28 - 147.0 - I'm up from my lower weight but down from wake up weight. Blaming the wine (2 glasses) with steak dinner last night. 110oz water, 18.5hr fasting. Dead tired from 2 late nights in a row with early wakeups. I just want to sleeeeeep haha (my own fault). Tomorrow I can sleep in an hour and a half before I head to the city for my lasik evaluation. Hopefully soon I won't have to worry about contacts or glasses! Fingers crossed my eyes are good enough to drop the price to affordable. As for my Godson, he's doing really really well. Been eating and drinking just fine, all indications of a beautifully working liver are there! Lots of bowel movements but that's the new liver processing and ridding of the backlog of it in his body, so it's more than welcome. Went for a walk around a secure area of the hospital and was apparently acting his normal self. All the love, positivity, and prayers are working wonderfully Thank you so so much

Previous Day's Comments01/22 - Shocked since I didn't sleep well last night. Today we have errands to run for Fam. FamHub had appointments for his '86 to get an alignment (just rebuilt front end) and to pick up telephone poles for building material for some project on the land. No updates from them yet. Fasted 17.5hrs, drank 75oz water. Didn't sleep well at all so hopefully tonight I can rest easier.
01/23 - Up and moving quick. Had to pick up FamHub's truck from service this morning before heading to the land. Gathering sandwich-making stuff, packing water (since we definitely thought there was water yesterday and there was actually NOT any water), and heading out to the land all day. Godson's surgery ended ahead of schedule at 9:55pm. He did great. The only concern is the bile buildup in him - likely to cause constipation and will need to be carefully addressed. At this point, he is in ICU until they deem him stable and healthy enough to be moved into regular hospital room (typically about 5-10 days). The fight is on, but he's definitely his daddy's boy and his daddy is a stubborn you-know-what (in a good way). Even mama is stubborn as all get out so he's got it going for him from both sides. He's certainly not one to give up, that's for sure. Now we wait until the boy can come home healthy and happy. By sounds of it, he may not need the full 60-ish days (between ICU, hospital stay, and the post-hospital stay in which they have to live no more than 30 minutes away) but time will tell. Shout out to the wonderful surgeons, docs, nurses, aids, and all others who helped this process along for my boy to have hope for a long and beautiful life. They're absolutely the best for doing what they do
01/24 - Pizza. Pizza. Pizza. Not shocked. Had it for dinner Friday, had it for lunch today, had it again for dinner yesterday. We had plans for baked chicken and rice for dinner but then we were helping watch Fam's daughter and distract her a bit (outside our house because she's scared of our hyperactive dog - dog isn't mean, but she's crazy and bigger than the daughter) and then it was too late to bother cooking. Didn't fast long - 14.5hrs. Was out push-mowing more milk thistle and other big brush so made a sandwich and felt a bit revived. Today, due to rain, we aren't going to work the land. Going to fast as long as my body is comfortable with it. Pulled out a pork butt to smoke while we chill and watch football. Also focusing on my water - I'm sure I need more than I have been drinking. Luckily I got time to drop back down and possibly still see a loss.
UPDATE: Godson's eyes are turning white! He always had such yellow eyes and they said one of the big indicators is his skin and eyes. Well, his skin had a pretty quick turn but when he woke up late yesterday afternoon, his eyes showed so much improvement. Those baby blues really going to be winning nurses over now! For the first time in 2.5 years, his bilirubin levels are ZERO! All else seems good. I believe today is the day they begin food and drink therapy
01/25 - Expected - couldn't quite get water intake up the way I wanted, salty foods, shorter fasting, possible TMI and possible pre-TOM bloating (can't tell if its that or the other stuff combined, but either very likely). Today will be better. Fast started a tad later, but completely doable hitting 16-17hrs. Working/tied to my computer and therefore tied to my water cup and the 5gal jug in the other room for refills. Already halfway done with my first cup (30oz) which bodes well for the day. Though a full night of sleep (for me), tired due to being woken up mid-dream. Those are the worst! Always makes me groggy and a tad cranky.
GODSON UPDATE: No big news. Yesterday the plan was to work on sitting up. Today, if all is still going well, they'll try to incorporate food and drink. Doing really well so far
01/26 - Didn't want to post this, but I feel I must. I'm guessing it's the dairy-heavy food, despite me taking my lactose pills (yay for me actually remembering I have those!). That and very possibly pre-TOM bloat. Just over 90 oz water. Fasted 16.5hrs. As for my Godson, he is out of ICU and in acute care. Typical is 6-10 days in ICU and he was there just less than 3 full days. Currently in acute care which they say typical minimum is 15 days. From there, they will stay in the local area for minimum 30 days. Fam also doing well, thankfully.
01/27 - So I'll be a bit honest here (TMI/digestion). Since the 3 pizza meals nearly in a row, I've been feeling it. With TOM coming any day, I figured SOME was bloating from that, as per usual. Welp, the last 2 days I've worked on balanced meals and actually COOKED my lunch into something balanced (steak for lunch? Oh yeeeeees) and yesterday I managed a whopping 120oz! Plus sticking to fasting (17hrs yesterday), I've made some movement (147.5). I was content. Took a quick nap because I was DEAD (I'm alive now, thanks to the nap), drank a bit of water, and FINALLY got some TMI movement. It's been several days. Like today would've been day 5 without proper movement. After I decided, since I felt so different, to weigh (146.6). Apparently I have been making some progress, but the bloating and digestion issues I've caused myself with too much processed food covered it up. Fasting helps a lot, but not when I totally destroy my insides with it! A little here and there, as I've proved before, can be mitigated, but not several days in a row. Still feeling a bit bloated, but light. Look a bit puffy in the belly but I'm believing THAT to be TOM related since I don't feel the heaviness. Plus, a new low since my regain and very close to my lowest weight in this group (144.6 back in March 2020)!

Dedicated Stretching: 14/15 Daily incorporation: 27/3101/01 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓01/27 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Neck/shoulders yoga once I was functional which really helped. My neck was hurting so bad (I sleep with chin to chest apparently) plus grinding my teeth horribly. Wore my retainer last night and it helped with grinding. Was so tired I was able to find a comfortable straight position with my neck and stayed that way most of the night. Feels much better (though still sore) today. Going to try that same practice today to get another good stretch to loosen it up
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.
01/05 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Started a dedicated stretch but interrupted by BF when he realized dog was not in backyard. Did some jogging through the neighborhood in search of her, though!
01/06 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓
01/07 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Nearly forgot to add in daily stretching.... oops!
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.
01/17 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Did a bit of a dedicated stretch using the couch during the football game to help loosen these sore muscles. 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
01/18 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - My yoga got interrupted by BF saying the Verizon store was open so he could go look at phones (researched online but he wanted something small so had to see in person to really compare size before purchase). Got a couple good stretches in though while out and about, though. Aiming for yoga this morning as soon as meetings allow me a long enough of a break.
01/19 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Did a yoga for flexibility yesterday as I found it really is a nice stretch for my sore hammies. Still recovering from all the physical labor out at the land. Today I may repeat the same one for another, hopefully deeper, hammy stretch.
01/20 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Today I'm doing yoga. No matter what. I have time in between work meetings so I know I can fit it in.
01/21 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - I debated considering my little stretch "dedicated" and decided it really wasn't enough by my definition to call it that. I did try, though, so its better than nothing. Couldn't quite get yoga done due to things popping up. About to do a quick practice now before BF wakes up to run these errands (8am appt for truck)
01/22 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - I'm sore today. If I'm able to do yoga, it won't be until tonight. FamHub's truck returned home and as soon as BF finishes gathering items, we are on our way to the land for the day. Will have plenty of chance to do some small stretching during my breaks to hopefully keep loose. Supposed to rain tomorrow so, depending on that, tomorrow may be my stretching day. All day haha!
01/23 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Didn't get home until 11 and went STRAIGHT to bed. I'm definitely sore this morning and need a good relaxation stretch.
01/24 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Debated checking dedicated for yesterday but decided it may have been short, but I did do a little focused stretching yesterday outside my daily. It wasn't much, but it was "dedicated" so I'll count it.
01/25 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Found myself stuck on stupid watching a movie so I got on the floor and did a lower body stretch while watching. Quite a good compromise, I think.
01/26 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Did some yoga for digestion (maybe that helped, too?) yesterday plus a nice hammy stretch after. Nothing too crazy, but got me up and moving for a few minutes.9 -

My father in law did that years ago because he could smell something electrical burning but couldn’t place it. It ended up being a bad surge protector multi outlet cord. He didn’t want all the trucks sent but they did send them with sirens and lights. In the end it was worth it. I’m not sure how the fire departments work in your area, but I highly recommend calling if you smell something weird like that again because you really don’t want to have the house burn down. It might also push the landlord to do something about the problems.
Did not know that! Next time I might suggest that to BF. He's primary on lease so I let him make decisions on the house. Hopefully, if it happens again, it won't be 11pm on a work night... I really don't want to have to pull an unexpected all nighter because this stupid house (that provides me shelter and comforts.... really trying to mentally prepare for February here

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Yes, I am still here after a 5 week stay in a Sunnier Climate. I did do some walking, but unfortunately too much of it was walking to the kitchen. 😊 Time to pull up my big boy pants and get some discipline.
Seriously, I had an exceptionally good time with family and worked remotely for some of that time. But that lifestyle will cut my life short if continued.
01/26: 217.4
This is disappointing, and a harbinger of the hard work I need to do. I was a good boy yesterday with calories, but kind of salty.
It was so windy (and cold) yesterday, I didn’t have the heart to go for a walk.
01/27:215.8
That is better. I forgot how hard this is. 😊
01/28: 216
I was under calories yesterday, but boy was it salty. If asked, I may have to confess that I had a Culver’s Snack-Pack with Chicken Fingers at lunch with my wife.

NSV: Actually tucked my shirt into my jeans & wore a belt out this evening.
1/23 209.6 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, 1849 cal, 138 net carbs, 1 bourbon & 7up. Walked after long car ride. Snacking did me in. Brought my scale to the camp!

1/25 210.3 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, plank, fishing, 1942 cal, 132 net carbs, 2 vodka & diet tonic. WAKE UP!!! You are headed in the wrong direction. Giving in to old habits.
Quit eating all those chips, crackers, candy & more carbs in the form of waffles at breakfast, rice at lunch and more rice at dinner and skip happy hour (stick to water).
1/26 209.3 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walk 2 miles, plank, fishing, 1356 cal, 36 net carbs, 1 rum & diet coke.

Day, Weight, Comment
1/22 – 204.4 -- 16,555 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. Started my TOM so hopefully this slight drop is not temporary. Focus today on controlling portions and being mindful of my eating (as usual!). We’re supposed to have a bunch of snow coming, so trying to get lots of steps in before walking close to home becomes more difficult and work starts back up in full swing next week.
1/23 – 204.8 – 10,437 steps, 30 min aerobics yesterday
1/24 – 205 – 10,103 steps yesterday. Felt exhausted and sore yesterday with no energy whatsoever and overate a bit. Fasting today.
1/25 – 202.4 – 10,345 steps, 45 min. aerobics yesterday. Big drop after Sunday fast. I think a lot of the ups and downs the last couple of weeks are related to my cycle. I’m hoping to stay below 205 PERMANENTLY (but not counting on it!). Focusing on being mindful of what I’m eating, avoiding mindless snacking, eating standing at the counter, cupboard, fridge, or table (as usual!).
1/26 – 202.6 – 10,300 steps, 50 min aerobics yesterday. Shocked and amazed that my weight didn’t skyrocket this morning after a midnight Toblerone. Today: focus on mindful eating by sitting down to eat, turning off the TV during dinner, putting down the phone/magazine during lunch and breakfast.
1/27 – 202.2 – 12,018 steps, 60 min aerobics, 10 min weights, stretching yesterday. I’m fasting today, so hopefully I’ll see another drop tomorrow! I would really like to get below 200 by Feb. 1 and stay there even through my horrific monthly cycles. Focus today on enjoying the snow that pummeled us last night and will return this afternoon.
1/28 – 200.6 – 10,800 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. Great to see this drop! I remember from when I last focused on losing weight that I’d go up and stay steady and then suddenly see a big drop. I fasted yesterday which accounts for some of this, but I’m hoping to keep close to 200 and hopefully end the month in Onederland. We’ll see. That could be tough. My TOM just ended, which is also a huge factor. It’s also possible that I’ve just finally digested the 10 pounds of prime rib I ate at Christmas. Focus today as always on mindful eating, eating more fruits/veg and less nuts, chips, cheese. Sit down for meals. TV off at dinner.

@musicsax, you are such an inspiration!!!
This last few weeks/months progress is all down to you my friend, the running 5K or should I say working towards running the 5K (as it is still eluding me at the moment), due to your challenges since mid November, have made such a difference to me, the running programme seems to have not only triggered a boost in my metabolism and changes in my body but also a renewed determination to make more of an effort to get to where I want to finally be.
If I look through all the 71 round results I have been losing and gaining the same old few pounds until recently. I will be honest when I agreed to join you to attempt to run 5K it was a very rash, maybe flipant comment and I can't lie that after I'd slept on it I realised that I wasn't and never had been a runner, so I was going to tell you the next morning that I had second thoughts and changed my mind. But when I read your post to say how pleased you were that I was joining you I really did not have the heart to let you down. So I decided that I would go through with it, but as soon as I'd done the 5K that would be it. However, you know how my mind has changed, despite the various life issues that have popped up; MIL's health issues, rain, self isolationg, snow etc. which has meant that I still haven't yet actually completed the distance I have been and still intend not only completing the distance, but when I have to include a few runs each week in my fitness regime.
So @UTMom81 YOU are an inspiration xx. 10 -
@CamandJarvis - so good to hear all still going well with the little guy xx5

Round 139
Please join us! Starting on 01/22JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 139
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Day/Comment
1/22 - met goals, although my walk was short
Not tracking is weird after 6 years of doing it religiously, and of course my internal calculator has a pretty good sense of my calories & macros, but I’m not dwelling on the numbers, at least through this round. My daily mindful eating meditation class is making me very aware of what I’m eating and also how. DH is a “shoveler” and when I married him, I started eating faster so I wouldn’t still be eating 15 minutes after he finished. I’m working on getting back to eating slowly and savoring what I eat, even if I’m the last one finished! This morning I couldn’t finish my yogurt because I’d given myself time to realize I was full. I’m also looking at ways to cozy up all the rooms I spend time in, thinking I’ll find more comfort in my surroundings rather than in too much food too often.
1/23 - met goals
Yesterday was good. Today is very cold, but cozy inside, so all good. Enjoy your Saturday!
1/24 - met goals
DH wanted the lunch special from our fav Italian carry out yesterday, so I ordered house salad and minestrone— very satisfying, and enough salad that I split it between lunch and dinner. Excellent. I’m making no-bread salmon patties tonight — yummy! Not weighing and tracking is weird, but I think I’m doing pretty well (though I’m curious about the numbers, of course!) and will stick it out for the next week. Then I’ll see. Enjoy your day!
1/25 - meditated 30 min.
Ugh — ate too much yesterday. Too many morning carbs always encourage me to overeat later. This morning DH wanted French toast, so I had one piece instead of two and cooked the remaining egg mix into a mini omelette for myself. Good compromise, I think. The weather isn’t bad this morning, so I’m off for a walk before the snow and ice hit around noon. Whee!
1/26 - meditated 20 min.
The big storm system across the Midwest has mostly skirted us, but did lay down a nice slick sheet of ice, so no walk for me until it melts. I got on the scale before I stopped myself and though I’m not posting it, I wasn’t happy with what I saw, so this intuitive eating venture may not be working for me, or maybe it’s too soon to know. I’ll stick out the experiment for the rest of the round, then re-evaluate. Seeing everyone’s progress (and struggles) on here is inspiring & reassuring, so thanks for that.
1/27 - met meditation and mindful eating goals
Yesterday was a good day, aside from the layer of ice over everything. Even that has an upside, though — the trees are stunning in the sunlight. I started a complicated lace knitting pattern 8 times and ripped it out 8 times — I may put that one away for for a little while and finish my blanket. A metaphor? 😁
1/28 - met meditation and mindful eating goals
Pretty darn quiet around here with the icy pavement and frigid weather! I think I’ll see what progress I can make on the stack of to-be-read books by my chair! I have made progress on the snacking front — my only snack yesterday was a very mindfully enjoyed square of good dark chocolate. 🍫 Mmmm. I finished my mindful eating meditation course, and feel it was helpful. Now to put the principles into consistent action.

Round 139
Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 130.2
GW: 125
GW for this round: 128.5
Round 135 (10): 136.6 to 133.6 (-3.0 lbs)
Round 136 (11): 133.6 to 133.2 (-0.4 lbs)
Round 137 (12): 133.2 to 131.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 138 (13): 131.8 to 130.2 (-1.6 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Finish the beginner plank challenge
- Complete my Apple Fitness challenge for January: Earn a total of 25,900 Move calories this month.
- Get below 129 lbs
1/22 - 130.2 - Starting this round at the same weight as the end of the last one. I’m happy that the drop held, but we’ll see about tomorrow. Friday is our family movie night and I’ve budgeted calories for popcorn and a drink, but it will still be a sodium hit. I did 45 minutes of cardio this morning and about 10 minutes of weights - I meant to do 20 but the kids needed me and I didn’t get back to it. I’ll just have to fit it in tomorrow.
1/23 - DNW - Not a great day yesterday. I don’t know the final calorie total, but I definitely indulged in too many snacks and sweets on top of the popcorn. Chocolate is my big weakness - once I have any I start craving more and then I start justifying to myself why “one more” is ok. Well, the damage is done and today is a new day. I’m not facing the scale until tomorrow though. I still got some exercise in this morning despite the kids getting up early, and just snuck in my plank while they had lunch.
1/24 - 130.8
1/25 - 129.6 - I’m sorry I didn’t get around to checking in yesterday! It turned into a crazy day where I didn’t get to exercise until the afternoon, so my morning weight was higher than usual. Our not-quite-two year old tried to climb out of the crib twice on Saturday, so yesterday we converted the crib to a toddler bed. Now I’m not likely to get any sleep for the foreseeable future as we try and get him to understand he has to STAY in bed at night. Oh, an he’s waking up at 5 AM, which makes my usual “get up at 6 and exercise before he wakes up” kinda problematic. Hopefully things will settle into a new routine soon.
1/26 - 129.8 - I wasn’t expecting the sub-130 weight to stick, so that was a nice surprise! After the initial fight (he was just so excited he didn’t want to sleep), my little guy slept all night and didn’t get up until 7! It let me get a good workout in and hopefully I’ll have enough energy to keep up with both kids today. I want to do some Beat Saber or Just Dance tonight too in order to get my calorie burn up or I won’t hit the January challenge on my watch.
1/27 - 130.2 - Super sore in my legs, shoulders and back this morning. I’m hoping that means I’m holding onto water which is causing the weight increase. It’s cold and rainy here too, so it’s tough to get the motivation to get up and move. Closing in on the end of my plank challenge - today was a light day but I’m feeling very confident that I’ll be able to do the full two minutes.
1/28 - 130.2 - Still holding right around 130. So hard not to get into my head when the scale doesn’t move, even when I KNOW I’m doing it right and my calories burned are greater than my calories eaten. I’ve considered not weighing as often, but I’m afraid that will make it worse rather than better. I have 4 more days (including today) to finish my Apple Fitness January challenge and I’ve got 3,170 calories to go. It’s doable but I’ll definitely need to add in some extra workouts to get there.

01/21 …..205.4 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/22 …..205.2 ….. I am inviting my friend over tonight (the one that always brings me high calorie foods without notice) for dinner. I am making low calorie / low carb shish-kabobs. This time it’s MY choice for the menu lol. My friend is a friend of 20 years. He is male and can eat things without gaining which just isn’t true for this female post-menopausal body! No matter how many times I tell him, he just doesn’t get it. Anyway, I hope to dip into the 204’s by tomorrow or the next day. Persisting……..
01/23 …..206.2 ….. A wonderful low cal/carb dinner with my friend. Then, late night pop-tarts with milk. Just don’t do it folks!
01/24 …..206.2 ….. Drats! Tired today. Slept 3 hours 47 minutes.
01/25 …..208.2 ….. An unfair weight for what I ate but I had little to no movement yesterday. A very restful day. Back on track today is my hope. Shocking scale has awaken me!
01/26 …..207.0 ….. I’m not sure why it jumped so high yesterday (I checked it several times) or why it reduced so much overnight, but I’ll take it as inspiration to get these numbers moving back down again. However, I know I am not as strong as I was early in my journey. I’ve got to work on the mind and spirit too.
01/27 …..206.6 ….. I am glad to see a drop but I must be honest. I didn’t lose nearly half a pound because I got in a lot of physical fitness or I watched my portion sizes. I didn’t drop because I carefully balanced my macros and made very informed choices. It was a very busy day with my time schedule and I ended up eating OMAD. That caused overall lower calories for the day and that is the end of the story. I’m glad to be a tad lighter today, but honestly, I still have so much to learn and to implement. I did get over 7 hours of sleep last night also. UNHEARD of for this 4 hour per night girl! I am Still on the journey of enlightenment overall.
01/28 …..207.6 ….. No TMI x3. We’ll see what the next 3 days bring. However, I don’t see me hitting my goal this round and it’s such a simple goal. Disappointed. Back to 4.5 hrs sleep.

01/22 117.4 Our scale has been weird lately along with my salt intake, so I don’t really know how much I actually weigh aha. I wish I had one of the old school scales that you were able to visually balance and then step on it. That would be ideal.
I hit Trader Joe’s today after PT and got myself some staples(I won’t list the staples) and a few fun things to try: Pork and ginger soup dumplings, coconut cream whole milk Greek yogurt, and artichoke, kale dip made with Greek yogurt, and a couple different types of crackers to go with it. I plan on having the dumplings tonight with a big salad if my husband wants take out. I’ll grab him take out and make myself the alternative. The dumplings are only 270 calories for a box of six. I’m excited to try them because I’ve read great things about them! The dip, crackers and yogurt will be my snack/mini lunch today. Happy Friday everyone!
01/23 116.6 Last night I ended up getting takeout with my husband, but I made it fit calorie wise. I was a little over but not enough to wreck my entire week. I decided that weight loss for me isn’t sustainable if I don’t make takeout fit into my life because by Friday night, we need a break from cooking/dishes/etc. We got Buffalo Wild Wings, he ordered what he wanted, and I got a black bean burger but omitted the ranch dressing (saving 170 calories) and selected no salt on my fries (saving tons of sodium). I also finished the wine I had in the fridge from last weekend (1 large glass worth~9 or 10 oz). Those little changes made a difference for me and I’m even down somehow from yesterday morning. The body is so weird… but I’ll take it.
Today, breakfast was two slices of high fiber toast with cream cheese on it and two mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups melted in (I had a chocolate craving and this stretched the chocolate flavor and I also stirred in some inulin fiber too), two eggs, and an apple cut up. It really hit the spot and clocked in at around 700 calories but it fits within my day(30 g protein, 58g carbs, and 37g fat so it was pretty balanced). My snack will be the artichoke kale dip with Akmak crackers and a fiberful peanut butter bar. Dinner will be panko crusted chicken breast with a large salad topped with cranberry goat cheese, sesame honey cashews, and raspberry vinegar.
01/24 Didn’t weigh today, just didn’t have a chance to before I drank and ate. Food was good today and I had a couple of non scale victories the past 2 days. Yesterday and today, I was able to resist fast food when given the opportunity to have it. Instead of getting myself a frosty last night I sliced up a banana and popped it in the freezer for a bit to have as a snack to go with my dinner. The sweetness and texture of the partially frozen banana did the trick for me. Today I just didn’t want it even though my husband did.
Today, I ate at maintenance because I was just hungry. Food was healthy overall but looking at the diary, the protein was a bit low. I feel like I definitely need to bump Breakfast was a failed attempt but still edible version of high fiber pancakes with a maple yogurt sauce instead of pure syrup, dinner was peanut noodles with whole wheat spaghetti topped with two eggs for protein and an orange for dessert, then a snack was akmak crackers with 4 tbs of the Greek yogurt artichoke kale dip.
01/25 117.4 Have a solid day of food planned. Breakfast will be a high protein smoothie with banana, cocoa powder, inulin fiber, oat fiber, plain egg white protein powder, Greek yogurt, and topped with sesame honey cashews plus some toast with butter on the side. Not sure about my snack. Dinner will be ground pork on top of bulgur with peanut sauce, carrots and peas.
01/26 116.8 Did not post. The day got away from me.
01/27 116.4 Wow, it has been a busy couple of days at work. My food has been really on point though and I’ve been getting a lot of exercise in as well. Didn’t have any discernable symptoms from the vaccine this weekend, so that was also a relief. I was only tired on Monday because our kitty decided he wanted to meow alllll night. The joys of having a cat with kidney disease (apparently it causes them to meow more often but his condition is stable and hasn’t progressed at all since he was dx’d a few years ago).
Dinner tonight was roasted chicken legs, roasted butternut squash, kohlrabi, and bulgur. It totally hit the spot tonight. I also got some wanderlust earlier today and started looking at hotels in Myrtle Beach because we want to go back there this summer. We went in 2019 and had a lot of fun just relaxing on the beach and walking to the arcades/the boardwalk at night.
01/28 116.8 Breakfast was solid today. I made a chocolate hack today by mixing 2 tbs light cream cheese with 2 mini dark chocolate pb cups and inulin and melting it in the microwave. Then, I put 4 grams of butter in a pan and made a chocolate grilled cream cheese sandwich of sorts on whole wheat high fiber bread. It was divine and I’m still stuffed from it and that was over 3 hours ago. It tasted like chocolate cheesecake and I savored every bite of it with all the different textures/taste. I also had a small apple, cottage cheese for some extra protein and frozen dark cherries on top of the cream cheese. It clocked in at 731 calories but if I burn at least 150 calories during my planned spin bike ride, it still leaves about 700 calories for the day. I plan on having a light snack and some sort and soup for dinner… So, that plan should be doable. I’ve definitely been on a chocolate fix this week for whatever reason. I usually get chocolate cravings in the middle and end of my cycle. The body is pretty interesting/weird when you start to pay attention to it. I'm also creeping towards the highest weight of my cycle so the next 4 or 5 days will be interesting.
I’m also excited to pick up yogurt made from a dairy farm near us today. We’ll also be getting eggs and raw milk. My husband wanted to try the raw milk to see if he has the same reaction to it as he gets from pasteurized dairy. So, that’ll be an interesting experiment. Normally, after eating any sort of dairy he gets a lot of phlegm production, so he’s curious if it’ll be the same. I’ll report back in case anyone is interested.

Goals: Yoga every day! Spin bike at least 5 times per week with at least one 45 – 60 minute ride per week, two 30 minute rides, and two 20 minute rides.
01/22 50 minute heart opening vinyasa yoga video and I plan on jumping on the spin bike in a few for a 20ish minute ride. Then, I’ll do my afternoon walk when I’m done with work.
01/23 I started my day with an hour yoga video and then a killer 30 minute spin bike video. Then, I’ll have a bit of a walk later today when have to run into the city to get vaccinated.
01/24 My husband and I went for a walk at a nearby reservoir clocking in at 1.5ish miles and then I did about 15 minutes of yoga. My body was tired today, so I listened to it and rested it a bit.
01/25 I plan on doing a 30 minute spin bike video and some yoga today. Didn’t have a chance to do yoga this morning because I needed sleep instead.
01/26 Did 30 minute ride and a 45 minute yoga video I think it was.
01/27 Did a 45 minute core focused yoga video this morning and a 60 minute spin bike ride today. The bike ride got extended a little because I talked to my boss during it for like 10 minutes, so I just kept moving my legs even though I was talking. The music for the ride was super fun and had a bunch of random throwback songs she put together for a 30th birthday themed ride for herself. I also went for a 20ish minute walk at the end of my work day.
01/28 Completed a 45 minute yoga video focused on wraps and plan on doing a 20 minute spin ride in a bit. My legs are sore from my heavy hills ride on Tuesday and then my 60 miunte ride yesterday. So, I plan on taking it a little easier today with the 20 minute ride. I might use our massage gun thingamajig to see if it helps the soreness. Happy almost Friday everyone!
