01/24 - 150.6
01/25 - 150.4 - 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

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

Dedicated Stretching: 11/15 Daily incorporation: 24/3101/01 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓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.
01/02 - 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.

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!).

So in round 138, I unexpectedly reached the goal weight I specified back at the beginning of my first round, #127. So by rights, I should be switching to maintenance. BUT, since Round 139 ends exactly on January 31st and Round 140 will align perfectly with all the other 1-month challenges and am going to stay the course one more round and see what that brings. If nothing goes awry, then I will start maintenance with round and with all my challenge starting in sync, I hope to give some real thought to my February challenge goals and watch cause and effect.
Goal for 139 – See what happens. :P
Past 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?
- passed the -1 lb goal for round 138, and actually passed UGW of 129

1/22 – 128.4 I mentioned in this rounds intro. Though now below original UGW, I am not switching to maintenance until round 140. Staying the course for these 10 days.
1/23 – 128.6 Blaming mostly salt and carbs. All ok. I have no great expectations for tomorrow’s weigh-in either though as tonight we are celebrating early my grandson’s 1st b-day with pizza and ice cream cake.
1/24 – 129.2 Last night was totally worth the gain. Celebrated my grandson’s first birthday, but early at 51 weeks. Had pizza and ice cream cake and did not worry about calories for the day. The extra special treat was when my grandson decided to finally walk for the first time! DD and I were sitting with him when it happened. “Grandpa” and SIL were getting on coats to pick up the pizza so Gpa missed it but SIL responded to our screaming and caught the last bit. At least there is some proof that we did not image it! Spent the rest of the evening trying to get a “do over”.
Other notes, exercise is not great these past days. Two factors – lots of distractions and low temps (today is 19° F with a windchill landing around 0°. Just not super appealing……. Three weeks until I start complaining that I am too hot!
Today, and most of the week is all pre-tracked so I'm ready to move forward!

I'm in S.A. (the south) I live on a farm in a sheep farming (dry) area, quite far out but not isolated (by Australian standards).
what about you?
I live in Canberra. Moved here from Germany two years ago.
Hello fellow Aussie!
Canberra *sigh* it always looks so nice and green in photos
Floriade is on my list of things to get around to!
Do you get snow where you are? I'd love to see real snow one day.
Yeah... I love it. Green and you're out of the city in no time.
We don't get snow in Canberra but in the mountains nearby and it's not too far to Thredbo (for Australian standards anyway). I for once are happy without the snow. Already had enough in my life.
Let me know when you make it here.
And not technically an Aussie but I work on it 😁

▪︎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.
▪︎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
▪︎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.
▪︎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? 😏

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!
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, roasted carrots and peas. Happy Monday!

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.

@musicsax I love PICTURES of snow but don’t miss the “real thing” at all after living in Colorado for over 30 years. Today we have a “winter weather advisory” and possibility of snow around us but our temperature is supposed to hover in the mid to low 40s all day. And the wind is howling! I love Las Vegas!2

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!

I love beagles! Their faces are so cute!
I don’t want to sound negative but in print, I think this will. Please know that it is not intended as anything but support. You said you’re not counting on being below 205 permanently. I think you SHOULD count on it. It may not happen this week or this month or next but if you “follow your focus” you WILL get below. And it WILL be PERMANENT! COUNT ON IT! YOU CAN DO IT! 😘

It's Burn's night so I have got haggis for dinner; we're not Scottish, but being in lockdown everyday is Groundhog day so I thought I'd make an effort to do something different. There'll be no pipping in the haggis, but we might stretch to a small nip of whiskey!! We don't normally participate in alcohol in the week so this will be an exception!
Gorgeous photos!
My ma was born in Kilsythe, and although we never had haggis on Burns’ Night, we did have tatties and neeps, and our friend Bob always showed up later with his pipes for a wee dram. 😁
And, of course, my mom always said the Selkirk Grace.
Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.
Enjoy!

@CamandJarvis So happy for your godson progress.
To all those who were concerned, I am working on a plan to keep myself safe. I became complacent about some things, however , now that I am aware that he cannot behave I have a plan of action. I am ok, just busy. Besides I want my current weight loss to be non-stress related weight loss.

1/22 – Good morning everyone! The scale was not my friend this morning so I’m ignoring it until my official weigh in on Monday. Today is a workout day and I’ve already got my protein planned out. I hope you all have a fantastic, successful day!

1/25 – 135.6 Well, that’s not the right direction. I slacked the last week and will just have to face the consequences. I’m ready to get right back on track this morning. 3 workouts this week, tracking everything, hitting protein goal. That’s my mantra this week.

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.

Well I didn't get under 170 last round, so that is still my goal for this round. Really looking forward to getting into the 160's again, lol.
01/22 - 171.7 I'll take it.
01/23 - 171.7 I think. It was somewhere around that number. I should have written it done, but we remodeled the downstairs bathroom and worked most of the day on that. Never had a chance to even think, much less write my weight down.
01/24 - DNW - Once again woke up and left the house right away to run a couple of errands. When I got home we had already stopped and had breakfast so just took the day off from weighing.
01/25 - 172.8 - not bad for a Monday especially with how busy my weekend was. I didn't make some of the best choices, so happy with this. Back on track today and will probably have to work in the office all week, so it will be easier not to cheat.

70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

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!

JGM10D Round 139
Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
January focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2021 Focus:- Maintain weight < 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:JGM10D ~|~ Round 138- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

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