Day1▪︎Fr•1/22-209.5 (Th/21-1pm, 4:30pm, 10pm~16hrs) 64g carbs.🚫*did not dry fast* It was not the day for it. LATER, (too late) I ate one of the jumbo blueberry flax wheat bran muffins that I made for my son (he's been dropping hints for a week, lol) and husband. It was worth the calories and the carbs.

Day2▪︎Sa•1/23- DNW (Fr/22- 4:30pm, 6:30pm~18.5hrs) 65g carbs.Another bran flax muffin, another high carb day. Experiencing some TMI (unusual for me), the reason for eating muffin, but stewed prunes work much better for me. 🚫no more muffins

Day3▪︎Su•1/24- DNW (Sa/23- 3pm, 4:30pm~20hrs) 22g carbs. Well yes I did eat another muffin. I was hungry this morning. Today we celebrated our 1st Grandson's Bday. The muffin kept me full all day and safe from wanting somethng even more carb and calorie laden. I'm good.

Day4▪︎Mo•1/25- 209.8 (Su/24- 11:30am, 6:30pm, 8:30pm~19hrs) 53g carbs. Not so bad. I'll take it after a few high carb days, because I have to, right? 😏

Day5▪︎Tu•1/26- (Mo/25- 1pm, 7:30pm~16.5hrs) 19g carbs.

✔Day6▪︎We•1/27- 209.8 (Tu/26- 1pm, 7pm~17.5hrs) 35g carbs.

1/22 209.6 Walked 2.5 miles, bike, plank, 1424 cal, 95 net carbs, AF. Whoa way up! Pasta for lunch & pizza for dinner is not carb friendly.
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.

Basically threw in the towel with McDonalds for breakfast, Popeyes for lunch, and rice & gravy at dinner. Today is a new day! [/b]

@TerriRichardson112 Really the LOVE challenge would be what each of us wants it to be. For example: LOVE ME - I completed a 30 min workout video, LOVE YOU - Terri, I find YOU so inspiring, LOVE LIFE - I’m happy that we have been healthy this winter. As @SheilaBoneham said, a gratitude journal of sorts. @CamandJarvis - thank you! ❤️

01/25 - 150.4
01/26 - 152.3
01/27 - 147.5/146.6 - 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)!

Previous Day's Comments

01/22 - 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.

Dedicated Stretching: 13/15 Daily incorporation: 26/31

01/01 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓
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.

@quiltingjaine How would the February LOVE challenge work?

Not sure what her idea includes, but I was thinking of writing down something I love daily, like gratitude. Example: I love my dog and her unconditional love when I have a bad day. Or I love my house that provides me shelter and comforts, despite all its issues.

Or what about turning it into a more positive outlook ? Counting blessings or looking at glass half full rather than half empty? I know I am guilty of thinking "woe is me" in this pandemic, wollowing in the misery of particularly missing our family that live so far away, I should turn that around maybe.

That's kind of what I'm going for! I complain about the dog a lot (she's a pain more often than not) but she's always loving on me whether I like it or not and I need not take that for granted. This house is literally falling apart (last night, for example, we smelled what was comparable to the smoke after blowing out a candle - we already have a ton of electrical issues and that smell scared us into believing there's a potential electrical fire waiting to happen. Owners refuse to do any work to the house so unless it burns down or its bought to be flipped, we must deal with it how it is --- yes we are trying to look for another place but nothing available yet that allows dogs) but I need to be grateful to have a roof over my head and all the comforts and protection the house provides. Flipping the switch for February (:

Sorry if my original post sounded so Debbie-Downer, not at all my intention.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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 …..xxxxx …..

01/29 …..xxxxx …..

01/30 …..xxxxx …..

01/31 …..xxxxx …..

My Goal is to get my 10,000 steps in daily (like I used to!)

STEPS REPORTED ARE FROM DAY BEFORE

01/22/21 10,238 steps.
01/23/21 7229 steps. Busy with dinner guest. I made a nice low cal/low carb dinner but not much activity.\
01/24/21 7123 steps.
01/25/21 4024 steps. Pitiful!
01/26/21 5869. I’m just not moving enough in my new retirement phase of my life. I must make an inside plan since outside is too treacherous for a fall-risk person like me!
01/27/21 4302 busy day but not with a lot of walking involved.

Here is an example of the new love challenge.


Today I LOVE the post by starrjulia8. In getting the second half of the COVID vaccine, she did not say that she would now be safer and protected. She said she was "doing her part". And that, folks, is the most selfless thing I've heard all day. Her goal to stop the spread and protect others is both honorable and admirable. Thanks Julia for being the wonderful You that you Are! Thank you for helping to keep me safe!
