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……..

@SModa61 I have read that extended fasting can lead to higher cholesterol readings. After my last labs, I believe it. 14 hour fast (draw was 7:15AM) were some of my highest in the last 3 years. I need to schedule later and fast shorter! 8 hours instead of longer than 12!

@Quiltingjaine Thanks for that heads up. Maybe I will plan for a late night snack the night before. I first need to find out current lab hours.

5’2” Small frame according to my wrist circumference
SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113-> 113.8 ->114.6 -> 113.6 -> 115.8-> 116 -> 115.6 -> 117.6 -> 115.8 ->118.2
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 days

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!


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.

Keeping everything crossed for a successful transplant this time, having been in this situatuion last summer with our 6 month old grandson I know what you as a "bystander" are going through. Sending lots of positive hugs for your Godson, yourself and all his family. Please let us know how he progresses xx

How is your grandson doing now? Last I heard, he was coming along nicely. I hope that is still the case! Thanks for the positivity and hugs. Its certainly nerve-wracking but I know its also a life-saving measure which induces a touch of excitement. I'm an emotional mess with all these contradicting feelings flying about my head.

He is still doing very well thank you, it's his 1st birthday on Tuesday! He did have a bad week just after Christmas; he had an infection believed to be in the line which is still in into his heart and he also tested posotive for Covid, they took him into hospital and was on both IV and oral antibiotics, which quickly brought his temperature down. After a few days he was right as rein and discharged home. He is still very small; at the lowest end of the centiles, but the happiest and nicest disposition baby you could met. He is a bit behind in his development, but I think that is to be expected with the fact that he was in hospital and very seriously ill for 2 and a half months, and he is catching up slowly. He loves life and his food!! He is awaiting an appointment to have the line removed, but like all non-emergency theatre procedures it is delayed due to covid.

I remember vividely that 12 hours he was in theatre and the weeks after until he "turned the corner"; so emotionally worrying, not sleeping and not being able to support DD & SIL by being with them or visiting cuz of the covid restrictions. Not good memories, but them the joy and gratefulness to all the surgeons, consultants, doctors & nurses who did their "magic" (and gratitude to the donors family), to know he had been discharged home to his family, seeing the photos of him with his 2 year old brother - priceless. We still couldn't visit because as he had no immune system he was in isolation at home, we had to do with waving to him through the window.

You shall all be at the fore front of my mind in these next few weeks, I'm hoping everything goes perfectly to plan and that he will be home running around soon xx.

1/22 = 132.2 Ordered a single-serve NutriBullet yesterday with gift certificate I received from work. I only have one smoothie recipe (frozen strawberries+yogurt+milk) , so any recipe/website/book suggestions would be appreciated! I am good at following directions, but not so good at just "throwing things together" when it comes to food. Maybe it will come with recipes, who knows. I'm hoping this will be a way to get a healthy breakfast in---or at least a step in the right direction...plus to be perfectly honest it looked like fun and I do love gadgets:)

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.

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.

Hot summer days forecast this week (in Australia), my garden and I am not looking forward to it, Onwards!

SW: 190.0/86.2
Next goal: 189.5/86 (BMI: 29.8)
Aims:

• Experiment with different strategies to mitigate stress eating.
• Don't restrict KJ further to "make up" for overeating - it just creates more stress!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/21 = 86.7
01/22 = 86.2
I slept in and it's warm already
It'll be Hot tomorrow (and the whole weekend) so I'll start trialing my "Liquid fast technique" tomorrow, today I'll just try to eat normally and keep a short rein on snacking.

01/23 = 86.2
The plan for today is porridge, juice, and soup -no solids- during the daylight hours, to hopefully curtail my tendency towards mindless snacking whenever the temp gets much above 38/100 degrees
*fingers crossed*

Well there was a hiccup - white blood cell count high. Fear of infection. But after several more tests, surgery being moved up, a decision to move forward, and pushing surgery back to original time, my beautiful little boyfriend (he calls me his girlfriend and I proudly wear that badge) is in surgery.

It's an 8 hour surgery, started at 4. Just got updates a few minutes ago and he's doing great. His old liver is nearly removed and his new liver was delivered to OR. Mom and dad emotional, frantic wrecks but they're doing ok. Still texting us and joking, likely trying to use humor as a distraction. All is well. Likely won't have update until morning but wanted to share that there's no going back. When he wakes up, he won't be itchy anymore for the first time in his 2.5 years of life and that's going to be the greatest gift.

Thanks, all, for your love, support, positive thoughts, and prayers. This boy is the toughest I know and this is just the beginning of his best life ever, I can feel it. I feel at ease. Well, as at ease as one can be.

Thank you @playhardkf2017 It also has very good reviews on Amazon. It's available used for about $6 which I think is very reasonable (2.50 plus 3.99 shipping haha), so I'm going to try it out!
