Was successful until 3pm. then I decided to eat foods that were not in line with my health goals...

I was going to ask about this exact thing this morning!! How many of you feel like you sabotage yourself and undermine your efforts, even when you have some positive momentum going??

Yes, I am guilty of this! Yesterday was a fine example - hit the chocolate BIG time mid afternoon after a really good day and plan for our evening meal

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 140 (round 72 for me ) I'm in for another round as I need this to help me keep on track! Thank you GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set up these challenges.

Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back closer to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life ! Long term goal is to get and then stay under 130; then full maintanace starts and dare I say it is in my sights?

Challenge for this round – get into and stay in 120's? I've not been that low since before 2018! Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, try to keep it in moderation, keep walking, no binges; remember keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference! Run 4 x during the 10 days.


Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind, continue to follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus. Be positive for the vaccine – its here and inoculation has started! Take it when offered.

Last round was successful so now I'm aiming to do more of the same in Feb

OSW 88kg
RSW 61.9 kg {loss this year 3.1kg}
Average last round 62.5 kg

02/01 - 61.9kg...on a Monday! Very pleased. Gym done.
02/02 - 62.3kg which is not what I want but not too bad. Planning light meals today. Gym done.
02/03 - 61.9kg. The plan worked! Light meals again today. I injured my back in the gym so I can hardly move... Hoping its better tomorrow.

02/04 - 63.2kg was not what I wanted to see. Hoping it's just a weird blip. Moving better today but doubt I'll be in the gym until Monday.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/01 175.6 Good day with food yesterday but still enjoyed a special dinner with hubby after his trip. My walk was cut short by cold rain, but came home and got in miles on the bike instead.
02/02 175.4 Snowed in, but managed to eat well all day. Did 19:5 IF and 2.5 miles of exercise.
02/03 175.2 Easing down again, yay! No formal exercise yesterday, but had a super productive day at work, so I do feel good about that.
02/04 175.2 Was a beautiful afternoon, although cold, so I was able to walk outside (2.39 miles) between work and picking up the grand baby at daycare. I really needed that, and can’t wait till weather is warm enough to take her with me again to the park to walk. Headed to Florida for a long weekend, so scales won’t be the same. I will enjoy the seafood but try to manage everything else. Hoping it will be nice enough to get in some long walks or real bike rides.

Love for myself—100-Mile Challenge—Total So Far = 12.19

Love for others—Random Acts of Kindness and other things I love:

2/2 Bailed a co-worker out of a mess she had made in a program before she asked me to.
2/3 Purchased one of @SheilaBoneham’s books on Audible to listen to as soon as I’m finished with the one I have going. Already put several others in my “Want to Read” shelf on GoodReads. Love that I’ll be reading a book written by a friend. :-)
2/4 This trip is for me! Wasn’t able to get down there during December because of Mom’s illness and death, so I need this little getaway right now.

So, it is Feb 1 and also the first day of Round 140. I got under my stated goal just over one round ago, so now the process begins. My “weight” goal will be to maintain and, given staying the same is not very exciting, this will be all challenging for me. I have learned how to lose well, now to learn to maintain and more importantly to maintain while adding to my healthy habits.

Goal for 140 - to practice none weight loss goals. For this round, to close all three Apple Watch rings for 7 day in a row. I have yet to meet this challenge.

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

Round 140 – starting weight 127.2

2/1 – 126.2 Oops, not the way I was supposed to start maintenance. Yesterday was highly distracting which helps. Trying to continue to pre-track my days. Last night though, I had a “first”. I was updating info for the 24 hour challenge I have been doing and I noticed I was 32 minutes shy of hitting 30 hours for the month. It was late and cold, but I got dressed and went out for a “walk”. Well I ended up jogging, and I jogged the entire time without stopping, 3.44 miles AND I am still alive. Maybe seeing that I could do that will encourage me to start making a greater effort towards switching to jogging/running from my fast walking. (For my future comparative records, as I print these out for my notebook, Tanita BF scale 126.5 and 26% BF at 6AM – curious what I will see at next check in May)

2/2 – 127.0 Makes more sense than yesterday’s low and I know it has nothing to do with 200 more calories yesterday. (decided to step on the Tanita scale, 6:30 AM, 127.0, 25% bodyfat. Interesting, up .8 yes down 25% - almost seems like this BF scale needs to be stepped on regularly to monitor trends)

2/3 – 127.8 Not cool. Two days in a row now. Calorie increase was only 200 calories per day and exercise I in similar range. I am assuming the increases are from glycogen replenishment and its associated fluids. But not cool! This is certainly making the mental aspect of maintenance challenging. Trying to focus on trusting the numbers. If tomorrow shows another gain, I’m going to switch to only 100 additional calories per day for the rest of the round.

2/4 – 127.0 I’m good with this. It is a number that makes the most sense to me. Another distracting day today dealing with my MIL’s condo, BUT it should be the last non-negotiable (last furniture delivery) though I will certainly be back to continue to square things away for her (Note: she is in Florida for the season). (science experiment this morning – Tanita scale, 6:33 AM, 127.0, 24% body fat – so two days later, same time, same weight, but another 1% less ……hmmmmm)

02/01 - 146.5
02/02 - 146.5
02/03 - 147 - I've really been eating well this past week, so I'm a little frustrated with my weight. Higher stress levels have kept me from losing in the past, so I'm going to attribute this stuck weight to that and keep plugging along.
02/04 - 146 - Tomorrow morning is my husband's surgery to see if the bladder cancer has spread any further than what was originally found. All hugs, thoughts, and prayers are appreciated!

@CamandJarvis THANK YOU! And I’m proud of your mom for “sticking to her guns.” I don’t know why everything has to have erotica these days. Oh, yes I do! Sex sells. I see the library system in Henderson has 1 anthology that includes a story by her. I have asked our daughter to request it.

I do believe she's a part of a couple anthologies! Let me know how you like it, I've never read any of her books (even the clean ones!)

Also, Henderson?! My BF was born and raised there! Small world haha

02/04 - 147.0 - Had a good day. Pushed fasting out to 17hr with ease, and easily managed 90oz water. Another baked potato for lunch (I made two the day before) and had enchilada soup for dinner. Finished early enough that I may be able to push to an 18hr fast today! Think I'll eat some leftover butter noodles and ground beef for lunch (need to figure out how to dress it up) then getting rolls and roast beef for French Dip tonight. So yum!

Previous Day's Comments

02/01 - My weight is down from yesterday, but my bloat is the worst its been in a verrrrrry long time. Not entirely sure what is going on but I'm thinking there's a lot of little things adding up quickly. Fasted 14.5hrs yesterday. Had pre-made sub for lunch. Ended up eating Whataburger (fast food) for dinner because by the time we finished at the land, it was late and we had nothing to cook at our house (at least not thawed). Water was good, drank about 72oz which isn't bad since we ran out of water. Probably needed more, but still better than before! Lots of movement. It'll come down, I'm sure of it. Especially since weekdays are pretty easy and BF will be out this weekend, or at least Friday evening/Saturday. Much easier to fast when he's not around and cooking for himself (mmmm bacon).
02/02 - Inching back down. Have some bloat in my low low belly (below belly button but not so much above it). I think that's just the price I'm paying for the weekend. So long as I keep to my goals, it'll go away. 16hr fast, 90oz water. Had deer chili with a sweet potato-apple bake. Interesting, but quite good. Making steaks tonight. Bought some mushrooms to attempt drunken mushrooms (beer braised), and a sack of potatoes for garlic mashed potatoes. Leftover potatoes, I had in mind a baked potato for lunch. I have butter, cheese, bacon bits, and some frozen chopped bell pepper to cook up and add which makes me really excited for it. Need to buy some broccoli on my next grocery trip - cheesy broccoli baked potato is a favorite and I haven't had it in awhile. I'm salivating thinking about it! haha
02/03 - Still coming down slowly. Fasted 16.5hr, drank 90oz water. Not much to update, I think? Oh,I was approved and set my appointment to get PRK in 2 weeks (the 18th). I'll be off and unable to post for 4-5 days after surgery (I believe it'll be end of next round, beginning of R142). Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I can to update everyone! As for my Godson, his white blood cell count is really high and doctors are stumped. We are all holding our breaths for it to lower and be normal. He's doing really well otherwise and just as crazy as can be (for a 2.5yr old, that is. Definitely a wildchild)

02/01 - I love my body She may not be perfect, and I may not always love her as I should, but she never gives up. The bloating I'm dealing with is her trying to keep us alive despite me not taking the best care of us. She does what she needs to do to make sure we stay as alive and healthy as possible. She works hard and though she may not be as strong as she once was and has some titanium upgrades, she still helps me walk, run, play, and work. And shoutout to my body for her dedication to us: ruck marching 12 miles on torn ligaments and tendons in my ankle with 30lbs, learning to walk and exceeding the necessary requirements for release after my back surgery (when there was a chance I'd lose use of my left leg and potentially both legs), suffering through a torn intestine (first time we ever fasted 3 days!), and just plain surviving what I (and life) throws at her for both of us. Body, you're a complete bada**. I absolutely do not love and appreciate you enough, but I'm so glad you love me unconditionally.
02/02 - I love this group This group is an escape. A getaway. A place I can go when life gets a little heavy or when I have something amazing nobody else would truly understand or appreciate. I never thought I'd ever open up enough online (its a scary place) to call anyone a friend, but I consider all of you my friends. My little 10-day family on repeat. Not only are we all on a journey to health, but we are on a journey to get the most out of life and its beyond inspiring. Without this group, I know I wouldn't be making the progress I am. Reading all your successes keeps me going, knowing it IS possible. Without everyone here posting about their struggles, I wouldn't understand my own and how to overcome them. I look forward to coming here every day, not always to post about me, but to read how everyone is doing. I'm invested in your journey. I worry about you when things get tough and wait impatiently for the next day's post to see if you're okay. I'm truly excited for you when things go wonderful. Especially during COVID when it's hard to get together, I'm not missing out on this group. We come together regardless and it brings so much normalcy back when normal isn't possible elsewhere in my life. I appreciate all of you so much
02/03 - I love my family I'm talking about my blood family AND my chosen family. They're all there for me, all the time. My blood family is small but we are close. We share struggles (yes, my parents share their struggles. Completely transparent) and good times. They've led me to things I didn't particularly want but have set me up in life now (a begudging thanks). My chosen family...well, I chose them because they feel like family. We have zero ties other than our love for one another and that is something absolutely amazing to me. They are the reason I finally got to move to Texas after years of wanting and waiting. I love that I have so many people that look through my anxiety and bad days to love me regardless, blood or not. I hope they all know how much I truly love them in return

02/04 - I love my garden Just yesterday, I noticed 7 little sprouts from my habanero seeds. My starters have turned into a giant bush of baby tomatoes and baby Anaheim chilis. My little jalapenos I planted last year are somehow still hanging on outside and trying to produce fruit, despite it being much colder than the plant prefers. I love that my first year attempting to start from seeds has, thus far, been successful. I love that I'm getting amazing practice in for when we can finally own a home. I hope to build a greenhouse and expand my garden to feed us all kinds of fresh fruits and veggies. I love the practice of being in nature and working with Mother Earth to provide, it brings me back to my days working on our old family farm. Mom had a garden once I was in college and they moved - I love that I got the green thumb from her and we can bond more over our hard work. I love that my dad supports me because he wants me to be independent and this is a great way to feed myself. I love that my BF, though he's not the biggest fan of gardens, allows me to have a small one (and has actually helped by building me a raised bed! He's sweet) knowing I'm doing it to keep me happy and to supplement our food (it does help he loves spicy food and I'm growing tomatoes and all the peppers! Hot salsa and hot sauce from the garden, anyone?! Had to win him over somehow!) Last thing: I love that gardening gives me a purpose
