2/11 - DNW - Yesterday was a tough day - my son rolled a ball behind the couch and I bent down to get it at the same time as he jumped up to scream about it. The back of his head smashed into my face/nose. He’s fine, thank goodness, but I saw stars and was in a lot of pain the rest of the day. I didn’t move much; I didn’t cook (we did take out for dinner); and I definitely didn’t track any calories. I don’t know what the scale would be this morning, but I don’t think it’s representative of where I’m actually starting this round.
2/12 - 128.8 - NOT the number I wanted to see on the scale this morning. It’s ok, it’s temporary, and it will certainly be motivation to stick to my meal plan this round - no more extra snacking! Thank you to everyone who expressed sympathy for my poor face - I’m doing much better. Still some pain, but nothing too bad. The little guy just has a really hard head! 😂

@tesha231 - eek, and month without a scale. That would be a challenge for me and I would have a scale in my suitcase. But, if nothing else, track thoroughly and if you are being accurate, then trust that the results will be there once you get home. I'm heading to Florida for 10 weeks in 2 days. Yes, I will have a scale......
10 weeks! That's awesome. If you are near Ft. Myers Beach, I will just come use yours! There is an antiquated scale at our community gym I could use but not trusting it will align to my WW scale. I'm a little excited not to weigh, knowing that I have NO EXCUSE to not walk every day--one walk being to the gym a few blocks away. I can almost feel the anticipation on the first morning back weigh in. eek is right! Safe travels to you @SModa61 !
@tesha231 We are further down. We head to Marathon, in the Florida Keys. The scale I use matches within .2 of the WW meeting room scale, from my years attending and working there. If you are at all concerned, what I would try in your situation is step on the antiquated scale there as a starting reference point for you there and then begin weighing daily on it as a check-in. Might not be the same number as yours at home, but hopefully can help identify any trends. Have a good trip and enjoy your time. We are driving... 1600 miles starting tomorrow morning.6 -
You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better than you were before

02/12 - 146.4 - Normal fluctuation, all good here. Got to see my Godson yesterday! Distanced, for his safety, of course. The family came up to bring our Goddaughter home and sleep in their own beds finally. Recuperate and replenish supplies. FamHub even made us gumbo for the freezing winter weather. We are cooped up. Ice covering everything, badly. Trees down everywhere. Last night half the town was without power. Somehow, we've survived that. Still continues, won't get above freezing until Wednesday with more snow coming Sunday with wind. Holding on hope our trees stay standing (and not land in our house) and that power stays on so we have heat. I'll post a picture of our ice accumulations on a tree after this. Staying in and eating what we have on hand. Glad I stocked up on some basics the other day! Had no idea it'd get this bad. Less worried about weight and healthy eating, more worried about portioning what we have in case we it stays bad enough not to leave until Wednesday. Definitely have to stock up Wednesday as I have early surgery Thursday anyway.

Previous Day's Comments02/11 - Down 4.2lbs to start the round. Why couldn't this happen yesterday to end the round?! Haha I measured again, down 1 more inch on my low belly (the pooch). Did NOT expect that at all after yesterday. Barely got my 90oz, 10 min shy of 18hr. Dinner was out, though small. Did indulge in tiramisu as it was new - first day they had it and not even on menu yet! I love me some espresso. Plus, as a bar, they added some coffee liqueur and that was amazing. Plus, doesn't hurt that we get the good ol' locals discount. It's a high-end place, real fancy, so prices are pretty high. Guess that's a bonus of living in a tourist-based town. Not sure what's on the menu today so I'll be brainstorming this morning a nice balanced lunch with what's on hand.

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.02/12 - I love blankies Yep, blankies. I'm a kid. I love "collecting" warm things. Works out on weeks like this when it's bitter cold. My mom quilts so I have 2 quilts from her, and a quilt from Quilts of Valor donated after my injury in the army. Snuggles and then, when I have my mom's quilts, it's a snuggle with mama from afar. Plus, the pup loves my blankies and snuggles with me extra when I have them on my lap. Bonus!
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
02/05 - I love my pups - I have 2 but MY baby is with my parents. Rebel is my little babygirl. Love her to death and miss her like absolute crazy every single day. Thankfully mom and dad send pictures, let me talk to her on the phone, and spoil her for me when I pester them about it. Then there's the dog I live with, Harley. She's a pain, but she's also a total love bug. I'll have a picture in a separate post. If I need some love and snuggles, she's RIGHT THERE. I joke with BF she's my dog during the day and his at night when she snuggles with him in bed (before he stops petting her and she uses my feet as a pillow). Poor baby goes to get spayed the Monday before I get lasers shot into my eye. We will surely be comforting each other that week.
02/06 - I love my jeep My jeep, Jarvis, was my original boyfriend. He was the standard. He's my second one, but bought brand new and he will be paid off in 2-3 months!! MINE ALL MINE (: He was an early graduation gift from my parents after they sold my car and old jeep (that's still a rough patch between us). He traveled with me from New York, Indiana, Chicago, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and now Texas. He has helped me move my entire life twice -- not bad for a 2 door! First time stuffed full with a trunk on a carrier off the hitch (yep, microwave, bed, clothes, army gear, fully stocked kitchen, and all in that little bitty thing. Tetris is my favorite). Second time I had a real mattress (not air) and a couch so he towed a trailer while still being stuffed full for me to move out of state yet again. He's even moved BF's bike to Texas! If I wasn't a Jeep girl with my first one, Jarvis certainly sealed the deal
02/07 - I love football I love the game, whether it be high school, college, indoor arena, or NFL. Any opportunity I get to watch, I'm very happy. Especially any opportunity to watch live, in person! I'm dedicated to the game, so much so that I'm not even particularly unhappy about not having a true SuperBowl party - I'm just content there's a game to watch at all! To close, I'll add GO CHIEFS!!! (hey, I lived in Kansas for 4 years and Mahomes is from my new home, Texas).
02/08 - I love sleep And right now I miss it. Sleep is restorative, not just for energy, but for healing and basic body processes. It's important, vital to life. Plus, it helps me fast by allowing hours without food to pass without me noticing!
02/09 - I love cooking I never used to like cooking all that much, but lately I've been appreciating it more. I can experiment, try new things, its cheaper, and I know what's in it! I've always loved baking, but nobody around here really eats sweets, so I'm replacing that with cooking. Even trying something really new to me - chinese food tonight! I'm pretty excited to try it
02/10 - I love my mental progress 2 years ago, this sudden gain would've destroyed me. I would've felt like I was failing, despite looking better than I ever have, even in the army and "in shape". I would've gone to extremes. I would have hated my body for a number on the scale despite my measurements. Now I understand so much goes into my weight, but the goal isn't a specific number on the scale, its health. It's how I look, and even more important, how I feel. I feel healthier. I look healthier. I think I've made significant progress on any visceral (dangerous) fat I may have had from all those years of crash dieting and horrid foods offset by the army's forced physical activity. My skin is clearer. My bloat is almost nonexistent, at least these last 2 days which is huuuge. Even better is this inspires me to keep aiming for healthier because I'm not quite there yet (60-40%, aiming to be healthy 75-80% of the time). Despite what the scale says these last few days, I know I'm doing what's right and good for my body more often than not and way more often than ever before. It will work itself off in the end so long as I keep going and focus on health.
02/11 - I love my new glasses I may only have them for a week and a half until my surgery, but after three weeks of out-of-date prescription, these are fantastic. I can actually wear my glasses all day and not get a migraine from strain! Plus, for the first time ever, I actually look cute in glasses! Plus, they're only $25 and have sunglass attachments so no more blinding light and it's worth it for a week and a half (:

I've made a sizable list for this round but these are four of many positive habits I've let slide over time. Everything here is do-able by reclaiming my "normal" amidst the chaos.
02/12
I'm pushing the hydration and determined to meet my lagging exercise goals. I got all carbed up yesterday with convenience foods. Carbs should be reserved for after fasting and exercise. No more unplanned carbs.
I'm on track for a good intermittent fast day. Given I'm at 16/8 it's fine to open my feeding window. I may keep going for another couple of hours.

February focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 141- 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!
[*] 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.

I have decided to start food shopping months in advance, so will most likely have to incorporate a higher carb content (as I eat a mostly vegan diet and have limited freezer real estate), it might be a bit rocky to start with weightwise but I have faith that I can adjust eventually!
SW 186.9 / 84.8

Next goal: Lose 10lb by Valentine's Day Challenge
Aims: Focus on sleep- Try to sleep 5 hours a night - time it.

154g carbs, about double my norm, will take it easier today. 5hrs sleep.

68g carbs, and 5hrs sleep - two days in a row

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 141 (round 73 for me ) I''ve proved 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 back into and stay in 120's? 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.End of round 69 134.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
02/11 - 146
02/12 - 146.5 - OK, it's time to get serious about getting back down to maintenance weight. I pulled out the food scale this morning and I'm logging everything. After 3 years of daily weighing and losing/maintaining my weight, you would think I would have it down by now, but the reality is that without using the food diary and the food scale, I give myself too much leeway in the amount and what I eat. That works fine when I weigh 142 or 143, but not when I'm trying to lose several pounds.
02/13 - 145.5 - I came home from work last night and my newly retired husband had made spinach lasagna and homemade garlic bread. I measured out enough to stay below maintenance calories, but I won't be surprised if the sodium and carbs hit tomorrow. Plenty of water today!

02/11 176.0 excellent food day; tracked everything and stayed under calorie goal; 5.29 mile bike, 1.36 mi walk
02/12 174.2 Yay!!! Lost back what I gained in Florida and then some. I’ve done much better on food the last few days, staying with lots of vegetables and protein, and tracking everything.
02/13 173.0 Finally, real progress again this round. Just hope I can keep it up. Celebrated Valentine’s Day last night with hubby and did just fine. Will celebrate with the kids on Sunday. Got in a walk at lunch yesterday as a break from work. Love it when I can make that happen.

Love for myself—100-Mile Challenge—Total So Far = 54.61
Love for others—Random Acts of Kindness and other things I love:
2/11 Love a beautiful day in the middle of winter! It was 64 here yesterday, definitely felt like spring (although I know it is fleeting) so I got in a good walk at lunch. Amazes me just how much that helps me be more productive in the afternoon.
2/12 Love that I am in Chapter 77 of @SheilaBoneham’s book and there are so many viable suspects that I don’t yet have this “who done it” figured out. ;-)
2/13 Handed out a random compliment to a stranger last night, and again, faces just light up when you do that! Also love that I have a stationary bike for bad weather days, like today. Now, I gotta love it enough to get in some miles! Lol

@starrjulia8 I am so happy that you get to enjoy a little peace. May it soothe you in every way!
@SModa61 1600 miles! Wow, y'all be careful with a drive like that. Safe travels!
@musicsax I'm so ready for spring! Lots of birds coming to my feeders now and it seems their colors are getting brighter which is a sign it's closer. Gotta clean out our birdhouses this weekend, especially the bluebird houses. It's almost time!
@SheilaBoneham I love that your love of gardening comes through so beautifully in your book. I'm really enjoying it on many levels, but when you describe the plants (like in the scene at the church where the Janet goes to get her dog certified) it's like I can see them for myself. Just lovely! I remember last summer you taking pics of your gardens at home and sharing them with us. They, too, were lovely!5 -
@beagletracks The pandemic did a number on my weight last winter/spring/summer and although not diagnosed, I was also depressed. I turned to baking bread (which I love to do, but I just can't eat it or I blow up like a balloon, which I did!) and comfort foods for the family. Finally in about November I decided enough was enough and came back to this group. Just checking in here with these wonderful folks has really helped. It's also helped get me moving again. I had quit getting any real exercise on most days during that down in the dumps time. I think making myself get moving has done more for my mood than anything else I've done. And @musicsax is right...it's almost spring! Things will definitely get better with spring weather! Hugs to you. Hope you have a better day!8
