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.

02/10 132.4 – 7.93 miles walked yesterday. Not proud of this weight, relaxed and let things slip; 2.2 pound increase from end of last round and that was after seeing the figure that I wanted to be on the very first day of the round! Oh well, no point in dwelling too much on it, I'm moving on, today will effect the start of the new round, that's what I'm concentrating on right now.

SW: 132.4
GW: <130

Day/Weight/Comment
02/11 131.6 – a good start to the round, ate really healthily yesterday, aim to keep the momentum going for this 10 days. 9.2 miles walked yesterday; again in the light snow. Another cold day here -4C at the moment brrrh!! was hoping for a run this morning, but will have to see what the pavements are like later.
02/12 130.8 – 9.48 miles yesterday including 27 mins run. Another good food day & it shows on the scales. Keeping end of last round post in this rounds post to remind myself how I felt on that last day weigh in!


02/13 130.8 - 10.99 miles walked locally from home (as always during lockdown) yesterday. Cooked Chinese New Year meal; prawns on sesame ryvita to start, duck leg in hoisin sauce with black bean veggie stir fry for main washed down with a glass of Rosé & all within calories.
02/14 130.8 – 11.46 miles walked yesterday all in below zero C temps! ; 5 miles or so in I turned my ankle on a frozen rut whilst crossing a field, no pain no discomfort I carried on for another 6 or 7 miles incident free. However, later in the afternoon whilst watching the rugby the ankle began to ache, gradually getting worse as the day went on and by evening I could not bear any weight on it at all & the intense pain! DH had to prepare and serve tea! I didn't want to take painkillers as I am giving blood in a few days, just elevated it and very gently wiggled it a little. It was a little better before bed, but got up this morning and it is almost back to normal!! Can't believe it really ….. I'm going to avoid running for a good few days but will try out a gentle walk later this morning.

@kmort009 - I think NSV are sometimes even better than the numbers on the scale; so satisfying to get into and feel comfortable in smaller jeans, well done!

@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!

@UTMom81 Thank you so much — you made my day in so many ways with that! I’m actually in this first stages of developing a new mystery series in the “garden mysteries” genre, which is well populated, but there’s always room in the garden for one more. 🌼🌹🌸🌻🌺 Thank you for going to the trouble of finding my books — I’m sad that that series is out of print (the publisher went out of business, leaving lots of authors high and dry). You’ve inspired me to sit down and write!

I finished it today! I won't give it away, but that ending!!!!!!!!!

@UTMom81 Which book was it? Did you figure it out? Hope not!

Drop Dead at Recall--the guilty party wasn't one of my top suspects, but I had wondered a couple times. I'm afraid to give details in case someone else reads it--which they SHOULD! It is available on Audible even if it's no longer in print.

Wishing all my MFP friends a Happy and Healthy Valentine's Day!

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.
02/14 173.0 Another really good food day, and got in an 8.7-mile ride too. No walk in the cold rain, but the bike felt great last night. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

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!
2/14 Loving on my family yesterday—putting together a Little Tykes Princess car for the one-year-old light of my life, and preparing to celebrate with daughter and hubby today.

Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days

02/11 116.0 Had a .8 whoosh overnight, so I’ll take it. I’m planning to eat at maintenance today but it’ll be spent on good for me foods like a couple more ounces of nice and lean pork tenderloin and roasted veggies. I went into the office today and spent the day with my manager and our clinical nurse manager. It was nice to connect in person and we were able to get part of a project done too!
02/12 115.4 I’ll continue to take these whooshes. It has inspired me to not get takeout tonight and just find myself something more manageable at Trader Joe’s for a “Friday night easy dinner”. Dinner last night was so filling for me that I didn’t even have room for everything I had portioned out. I ended up choosing butternut squash and potatoes to roast with the pork tenderloin plus a bit of quinoa too. My husband was craving Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner so he got that, but I stuck with the pork tenderloin and he is having some of the pork for his lunch today. I was tempted with takeout but after realizing that I didn’t want a 1,400 calorie dinner it was easy to pass on.

02/13 Did not weigh or post: but ate pretty well all day and treated myself to mochi cake. I figure 200 calories over is much better than 800 or more with getting takeout. So I’d call Saturday a win for myself 😊.
02/14 Haven’t weighed yet but TOM arrived, so I’m going to be kind to myself and eat at maintenance today. I have my spin on a split pea soup in the crock pot right now. I’m making the soup with a mixed bone broth that has been in the crock pot since Friday afternoon. I used a combo of mostly chicken bones with a few beef and pork bones mixed in. I typically have a zip loc bag in my freezer that I’ll throw bones in after dinner and sometimes other veggies scraps. When the bag gets full, I toss it all in the crock pot and let it simmer until I feel it’s “right”. I also added about 30 g of bacon to it to give a little smokey flavor because I couldn’t find the type of meat I wanted at Trader Joe’s for it. Regardless, it should be tasty because of the rich bone broth used and sauteed onion, carrots, leeks, celery, and garlic I tossed in as well.

02/11 Grateful that everything is rolling along for our basement renovation and found out today that it shouldn’t take as long as expected. We are still putting in some cushion with our timeline, but this is all very exciting!
02/12 I’m grateful for my physical therapist that I’m heading to see in a few minutes. She has made such a difference for me! I did a quick 20 minute yoga session this morning and plan to do a 30 minute spin bike ride this afternoon.
02/13 Was able to do a 45 minute spin bike ride and nice long heart opening vinyasa yoga video yesterday afternoon. I also did more hip and pelvic floor stretches after, which felt so good!
02/14 I love my husband! We are having a lazy day because he got his 2nd dose of the vaccine and just feels a bit weird/off. Today I plan to do some yoga but I’m not sure what length of time I’m in the mood for.

Day, Weight, Comment

2/11 – 199 – 11,116 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. All I want to do today is lie in bed. I’m not exaggerating when I say I got out of bed so I could weigh in and check in for this challenge. Thanks, everyone. Now I’m off to walk the beagles. Fasting today and focusing on self-care. Hope to start a book my brother sent me.

2/12 – 197.2 – 10,535 steps yesterday. Feels good to still be in Onederland (at least for today!). Fasted yesterday, so this weight is likely to increase tomorrow. Focus today on eating mindfully. Fighting a little hormone- and pandemic-related depression, but doing fine, SModa – thanks for asking!

2/13 – 199.8 – 10,456 steps, 50 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. EEK! Ate too much food and lots of sodium yesterday. Focus today on eating mindfully.

2/14 – 201.6 – 10,327 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. ARGHHHHHHH! This is frustrating. Really going backwards the last couple of days. Today is not going to be easy as it is Valentine’s Day. Focus on eating mindfully.

Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

Going to try to avoid pitfalls. (pitfall is an interesting word that I use without even thinking what it literally means.) How do I avoid pitfalls? By keeping my eyes open.

I have a trip planned for May that will be a good inspirational milestone.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Round 141
Month/Day: Exercise / Comment

02/11: 213.6
When I see some of you friends whose weight does not fluctuate up and down but moves steadily down, I just wonder how! My “system” seems to be like a semi-truck trailer that is either loaded or unloaded. I cross my fingers every morning when I go through the weigh station, hoping I am not over the legal limit!

I know… I am weird.

If I had to weigh the same every morning it would be impossible. We are all different, but we have common ground don’t we?

02/12: 213.4
Happy Friday!

02/13: 213.2
This makes zero sense after last evening. Supper was a cheese and crackers plate, with a frozen pizza for the main course. I was pretty good prior to that.

On a side note, DW and I exchanged valentines last night. Our 45th (41st as married.) As I read her card for me aloud, something must have gotten into my eyes. 😊 Had to reach for a Kleenex. She laughed. Ha!

02/14: 214.0
214 on 2/14! Lots of comfort food yesterday. More coming today. DD in-law’s birthday happens to be Valentine’s day. Makes it easy on my DS! Ha!

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment

Got my first COVID shot yesterday. I feel fortunate to live in a city & state where vaccination is going smoothly. One of today’s projects is some behavior design a la Dr. B.J. Fogg’s Tiny Habits — I’m trying small changes to make snacking more difficult and small exercise habits easier. Excellent book, btw.
❤️ Looking through nursery catalogs and day-dreaming about my garden.

2/12 - 185 - 1412
That’s catch up from very high calories last round. It’s ok, will come back off. I’m planning an easy day, unless I feel better later — very woozy this morning, which I’m sure is from my vaccine. Good excuse to sit and read (not that I need an excuse!)
❤️ Watching Mike the cat as he watches birds out the window, and listening to his comments.

2/13 - 183 - 1572
That’s better. I don’t know why I went so nuts on calories last round, but I feel back in control.
❤️ Going through my yarn stash — the colors, the feel of the various fibers, the visions of what can be, the urge to start something new.

2/14 - 183.4 - 1226
Yesterday was a good day. Wishing you all a lovely Valentine’s Day!
❤️ Silly Valentine rhymes.

🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)

@SheilaBoneham Yesterday the wind came up and was blowing leaves around the patio. Oskar was going nuts trying to chase them through the slider! He has never been noted for his “activity” level other than keeping a chair warm! And recently he has also gotten a voice! He’s always been more of a “silent scream” guy.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

2/11 117.5 I ate one snack and one meal yesterday but was over on all macros except carbs (9g total) and it was later than I usually eat. AF
2/12 118.0 over protein and my glucose is up this morning, I really would have been comfortable skipping dinner but had food ready to prepare and wanted DH to have a real meal.
2/13 117.0 AF
2/14 HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY ❤️HAPPY 17th BD to our DGD#4!🎂 117.0

2/11 LOVE GETTING A GOOD DEAL Went to the local quilt shop with my coupons. Spent $21 and saved $15. Fabric is overpriced so I only shop there with deals!
2/12 LOVE MY HUSBAND He’s not 100% onboard with keto but he has changed his eating and given up most sugar loaded soda and lost about 25# in the process. Not bad for an OLD guy!
2/13 LOVE THE DESERT Waking up at 4:30 isn’t great but a temp of 57 at that time is awesome. Only going to be 66 this afternoon so that’s great for the middle of February!
