@beagletracks (love this!) I know what you mean about Wonderland...it is a magical place. I've been flirting with it for so long. You will get there Yes, lovin' Mindful eating. It has only been through been through consciously choosing my food that I have been meeting my goals....and I still might choose to eat outside my IF window. I just remind myself that if I'm hungry I eat, that is perfectly OK and more important to be kind/loving and treating my body with respect rather than a rule. Gradually, I've come to love and practice IFing; and learned to honor my body's needs. You will meet your goals..it really helps to be here supporting one another!

Thank you, @4Phoenix! Your encouragement is just what I needed!

@beagletracks HALLOWEEN PACKS??? Throw that garbage OUT! No one needs it! If you erase the temptation, you can’t eat it.

This was really the bottom of the barrel. All the good stuff is gone. Now these are gone too. I don’t even like Sour Patch Kids! Honestly my weaknesses are potato chips, cheese, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, etc.

Thanks for the tough love, @quiltingjaine!

GW: 135lbs-139lbs, May I always weigh less than 140lbs🤞🤞🏽🤞🏿

Hi everyone! For who knows how many dozens of times I'm attempting to get online and post accountability daily.
This period I'm going to restart my intermittent fasting and keto routine. Minimum fast 24hrs with a goal of 48hrs by the tenth. Low carb high fat and an indoor run or hiit every other day.

I'm a wreck today. My brain is about 50% functional. My schedule has to change and I'm figuring things out. I've been fasting over 24hrs now and hunger is not helping me focus.
Reminder to self: Acknowledge your issues today are mundane ones and not real problems. It does not deminish their importance to remember that relative to the circumstances of others, you are doing okay.

02/04 167.6lbs

After 31.5 hrs of fasting I caved then restarted the clock. This morning I caved a second time with a mid morning meal. Restart number two began about noon. Forty-six hours to go.

It was a low cal day and I expect the same today given liquids only and mostly water allowed. Fat and protein are respectable but carbs are the spoiler. I messed up by going for easy instead of staying on plan.

Hopefully I'll make it through today and tomorrow to reach my 48hrs of fasting. Last night's left overs are frozen to avoid temptation. Fingers crossed!

Round 140

Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 128.8
GW: 125

GW for this round: 127.5

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)
Round 139 (14): 130.2 to 128.8 (-1.4 lbs)

Goals for this round:
- Walk at least 1.75 miles with the dog each night
- Export my data from the various programs I’m using and combine into one spreadsheet for analysis
- Decide on my “reward” for hitting my goal weight!

2/1 - 128.6 - Hello to February and a new round! I did a great HIIT workout this morning, but I think it’s making me hungrier than usual. I’ve stuck to my meal prep though. It’s a gorgeous day here (so sorry to those getting buried with snow!) and I’ve already taken the kids out once. I hoping to get outside again this afternoon.

2/2 - 128.4 - My daughter declared yesterday afternoon that it was “Car Day” and we HAD to make a Car Day cake for her little brother (who is obsessed with cars and trucks.) This is exactly what I want my kids to see and experience - that all foods are available as long as we eat them in moderation. I’m not going to ruin her fun by declaring we can’t have cake in the house because Mommy is on a diet! So we made a yellow butter cake with vanilla buttercream, and she went crazy with the sprinkles and asked me to write “Happy Car Day” on it. We tried to get little brother to do some sprinkles but he just tried to grab handfuls of cake. Then the whole family had small pieces after dinner and it went back into the fridge - was I tempted to eat more of it? Absolutely, but I didn’t and I didn’t go over my calorie limit. I’m calling yesterday a win.

2/3 - 128.0 - Huh. I had a hungry day yesterday, so I let myself eat at maintenance - I figured it was better to eat more of my regular food than risk bingeing on cake because I was starving. I fully expected to be up a bit today just due to the extra food. Not complaining though! I’ve made some progress on my round goals: I’ve found a new loop to take on my evening walk with our dog - 2 miles total. I’ve also ordered my reward outfit! It’s a pink rose floral crop top and burgundy leggings from Athleta. I’m super excited about it and really hope they’ll fit. The leggings are back ordered and won’t arrive until March, which is fine because I won’t hit my goal weight for a few more weeks anyway.

2/4 - 129.4 - Hungrier than usual the past few days? Check. Bloating? Check. Cramping? Check. Weight spike? Check. It’s hormonal, expected and no big deal. Going to keep pushing forward and focus on sticking to my meal plan.

@jaccimc63 - Thoughts and good wishes for you and your husband!

@starrjulia8 - I hope today is a bit brighter for you. Continuing to send you good thoughts.

@musicsax and @misaraisa - I do that a lot too - feel like I’ve self-sabotaged when I give into a craving. It helps me to “do the math” and put it in perspective that way: 1 lb is 3,500 calories - so even if I’ve eaten 1,000 calories over maintenance that’s less than 1/3 of a lb gained. Compared to your weekly deficit? You probably will still have a loss for the week - and compared to how much weight you have lost since you started? This is a tiny variation. You still have so much momentum to keep going!

Previous days

02/01 Did not post or weigh.
02/02 116.2 Lost the water weight which is good. I’m trying to treat my body nicely this week because my dad got admitted to the hospital on Sunday night due to Covid and it was a stressful Sunday night convincing him to go be seen (he’s still in there but he’s doing ok and is stable). It took me calling him like every 45 minutes to see how he was doing and telling him not to mess with dehydration due to gi symptoms. He’s a rather stubborn French Canadian.
My food has been good yesterday and today despite being tired and feeling out of it. I have to pick up our csa tomorrow night and I’m looking forward to the celeriac that is supposed to be in the box. I’ve never tried it and can’t wait to try a new veggie! Today’s breakfast was high protein & fiber molten chocolate cake made in the microwave and cottage cheese with defrosted blueberries and raspberries. I was so full from the cake that I was able to save the cottage cheese and fruit for a snack this afternoon. Dinner will be marinated jerk split chicken breasts, roasted butternut squash and purple potatoes. I’m also excited for a colorful dinner with the purple potatoes and the orange squash!
02/03 Did not post
02/04 117.2 So my dad is home from the hospital and sounds a lot better today. Thank you everyone for the kind words for my dad!
Yesterday’s food was pretty good over all. We ended up getting Thai for dinner but I got masaman curry with veggies and beef. The beef seemed pretty lean and their were more peppers and onions versus the starchier veggies that are know to be in that type of curry. I had some sticky rice on the side too. The good thing I did with the curry was that I scooped the veggies and protein into a bowl so I wound up having less of the caloric coconut milk.

Today has also been good food wise. I’m happy about that because I wasn’t able to get a spin bike ride in and just did some yoga this morning. I decided that for the Winter/Early Spring I’m going to focus on maintaining because I just feel like I need to/it’ll be better for my psyche. Then as the weather starts to warm up and the produce in our CSA is less starchy, it’ll be easier to make more filling meals that are less dense calorically. Have a good night, I’m off to go watch ER with my husband!


02/01 Did not post. Did yoga in the morning and an active recovery 30 minute spin bike workout. My hamstring has been bothering me so I didn’t want to push it like I usually do.
02/02 I am grateful for my health and am able to show my body some love by exercising and eating relatively healthy for it. Did yoga this morning and plan to do a 30 minute spin bike workout.
02/03
02/04 I love my coworkers! I did a 75 minute yoga session that was very relaxing and not as intense as 75 minutes sounds.

Love for myself: Eat well under Goal, and get my exercise in.
Love for others: Following Covid guidelines to drive down transmission rates

[/

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!😷

February 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:

• 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.

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/31 …..207.6 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/01 …..207.6 ….. No change.

02/02 …..207.6 ….. I don’t usually stay the same weight 3 days in a row. It must have been the banana bread snack because I burned many calories yesterday with more scrubbing.

02/03 …..208.8 ….. Epic fail. Bathroom #1 expansion and remodel begins today. It will be a long process as I am being squeezed in-between jobs taking their free time. In doing so, I am getting a discount which is important since I have 3 bathroom that need to be redone (not counting the rest of the house!) Eating will be grab and go and I already feel a loss of control. I will be working on figuring it all out.

02/04 …..xxxxx ….. Hit the floor running this morning as construction began on bathroom #1. I forgot to weigh. I do not suspect progress however.

02/05 …..xxxxx …..

02/01 I am grateful for my ability to retire early at age 60. I am beginning to finally feel better rested and more in control of my life. Owning 2 motels and cabins left me working 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, with never a day off. The businesses were located on my home property so there was never any rest, peace or privacy. The number of employees – 1. Just me and the occasional handyman I would hire if the job was above my skill set. What will I do for the rest of my life? As a widow, travel is a bit scary. I am not sure yet. But hopefully I will have lots of time to figure it out.

02/02 I love my new house. It is old and smoky and needs lots of updating and work but I love the possibilities. Mostly I love that it allows me to have a separate apartment in the basement for my adult disabled son. I love we can work harder on independence for him.

02/03 I love the frontline workers who allow me to shelter safely in my home while they are out on the frontlines battling this virus. Thank you to each and everyone of them. I hope you feel the love and respect.

02/04 I love my children and grandchildren. Without them, life would be meaningless. Thank you to God for placing them in my life.

Somethin's gotta give.
Taking a break of staying at the low end of my KJ budget, yesterday and today I'm going to eat up to my KJ limit (maintenance), will see if that kicks the scale into motion (note to self: this is not permission for a sugar overdose!)

02/05 = 85.8
LOL! well that is a change, not the one I was looking for but then again I ate all the way to 2000 Calories *eye pop* yesterday and I know that is waaaaheeey too much for me - I just didn't want to stop eating carbs and am paying the price.
Back to a "normal" range today, I've had my fun.
