    Last round ended lower than I started but my average stayed the same which isn't ideal. Going to treat March like its January!

    OSW 88kg
    RSW 62.4kg {2.6kg loss this year }
    Average last round 62.9 kg

    03/03 - 62.3 kg. A public holiday here so gym a bit later and a day sewing.
    03/04 - 62.9 kg. Hoping just a blip. Gym done.
    03/05 - 62.6 kg. Gym done and aerobics later today.
    03/06 - 62.0 kg no gym today just a little gentle shopping and see a friend for a socially distanced coffee
    03/07 - 62.0kg. Quiet OMAD day
    03/08 - 62.4kg. Not bad for a Monday. Gym done. 68
    03/09 - 61.9kg nice! Gym done
    03/10 - 61.9kg again. Happy with that and with aerobics yesterday and gym today.
    03/11 - 61.5kg. Very happy. Gym was a bit slow today.

    03/12 - 62.2kg no idea! But it's OK... Average is down over the 10 days and this is just one day.

    Loss this round 0.2kg
    Average weight 62.2kg {down 0.5kg}

    @RiverwoodRain Unless I’m misreading this, 8# in 10 days is pretty phenomenal. Drops like that don’t go on forever.

    Round 142 (17): 128.2 to 125.8 (-2.4 lbs)

    Goals for this round:

    - Reach my goal weight

    3/3 - 125.4 - 1769 calories - Rough night with multiple wake ups from the kids, so I was really dragging this morning. Seeing the low weight on the scale was a nice pick-me-up! (Coffee helped too 😂) Got a 45 minute workout in on Ring Fit this morning and will do a 2 mile walk with the dog tonight.

    3/4 - 125.8 - 2162 calories - Tough day yesterday. I was tired and not feeling well from lack of sleep; the kids were fussy and since it was cold and grey the only activity we did was making chocolate chip cookies... with predictable results. I didn’t completely binge, but I ate more of them than I should have. Today is a new day, and one maintenance day will not stop me. I just have to make sure it is just ONE this round.

    3/5 - 125.6 - 1701 calories - Much better day yesterday! Stuck hard to my calories and even played some Beat Saber so my deficit was a little higher than usual. We ordered takeout for dinner, and while I was careful to be reasonable with calories I’m sure the sodium was still sky-high. It might hit the scale in the next day or two.

    3/6 - 125.4 - 1758 calories - Started feeling really bloated and uncomfortable last night right before dinner - not sure what I ate that caused it. Going for a walk and drinking a bunch of water helped, but I was still feeling it this morning. The day kind of got away from me which is why this post is so late. Got the groceries and my plan is all set for meal prep tomorrow.

    3/7 - DNW - 1731 calories - Scale died this morning, just showing “Low” instead of a number. I’ve ordered a new battery and will pick it up today. I’m also all set to meal prep today - making chocolate banana overnight oats, asparagus bacon cheddar egg muffins and chicken chimichanga filling for this week as well as some lasagnas, marinated flank steaks and breakfast burritos to freeze.

    3/8 - 125.8 - 1718 calories - Hoping this is hormonal variation, because I can’t think of another reason for the scale increase. I’ve been on track the past few days on calories, macros and workouts. I look forward to new Apple Fitness + workouts each Monday, and did a fun HIIT one this morning. I’ve just got to keep pushing forward and hopefully see a drop before the end of the round.

    3/9 - 125.6 - 1857 calories - I know this routine now - TOM or ovulation triggering hunger and a scale increase, but it’s till so hard to just roll with it and eat at maintenance. I managed a small deficit and I made sure to get over 100 g of protein but I was still so hungry. Hopefully today will be easier - only a few days left in this round.

    3/10 - 125.4 - 1860 calories - Returning to baseline on the scale and really going to try and stay the course the rest of this round. I’ve pre-logged my meals and snacks for today and will make myself stick to it. I did a 30 minute HIIT and a 10 minute core workout this morning - my walk last night was shorter than usual since it was pouring. I’m hoping to get 2 miles in tonight.

    3/11 - 125.4 - 1691 calories - The last piece of my reward outfit came yesterday! I’ve had the top for weeks but the pants were back ordered. Now to hit my goal weight so I can wear them! I’m hoping for a drop tomorrow for the end of the round. Did a boxing workout this morning and will take the kids out to play this afternoon. My steps have been down (12-13K) the past few days so I’m aiming for 15,000 today.

    3/12 - 124.4 - 1787 calories - YES!!!!! I knew as soon as I got up this morning I was going to be down - I felt so much better and less puffy/heavy. I wasn’t expecting this much of a whoosh though! I have now officially hit my goal weight - I even took a photo of the scale this morning to save. My original hope was to get to a healthy weight by my 40th birthday - I’ve now hit my stretch goal weight with a month to spare. I owe so much of this to finding this group - staying accountable and having a place to share the ups and downs means so much. Thank you all so so much. I’m not leaving yet - I’ve got to figure out how to transition to maintenance and whether I want to try for a few more pounds before I do that.

    Total Round Loss: -1.4 lbs

    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.

    **Comments and steps apply to previous day**


    Rnd 143 SW 120.0 AW 119.05
    3/3 120.0 No TMI x 2 or 3 days plus DH is driving me crazy. Golden Corral this afternoon. Right now I could NOT care less about food. UGH Taking neighbor to have first cataract surgery in an hour.
    3/4 120.0 I am tired of food!
    3/5 119.5 Well that’s a little better.
    3/6 118.5
    3/7 118.5
    3/8 119.0 Yesterday we went to Roberto’s Taco Shop and I had a breakfast burrito egg, bacon, cheese on the world’s largest and thinnest tortilla. It really wasn’t that good. Last night was a rough night. Mentally kicking myself until 2AM. Today going to lunch with neighbors. UGH.
    3/9 118.5 I seem to have lost interest in food yet if something tastes good, I eat.
    3/10 119.0 🤷‍♀️
    3/11 118.5
    3/12 119.0 Life’s a mystery! It’s all good.

    I’m going to try to make myself exercise 3 days per week. I have lots of exercise DVDs plus the computer. I also hope to get back to extended fasts from Tuesday PM to Thursday PM. Details one day late.
    3/2 4493 steps about double a “normal” day
    3/3 3679 steps, not bad considering we spent over 4 hours sitting in the car, waiting due to someone else’s surgery having problems.
    3/4 3338 steps, neighbor was feeling draggy and wasn’t sure she could do it. Really sucking in her O2.
    3/5 4492 steps, neighbor still a bit draggy but we went around a slightly larger block. We will try to walk twice today.
    3/6 Temp was glorious yesterday but neighbor deemed it too windy to walk.
    3/7 5228 I don’t mind walking in Walmart. Neighbor walked in the casino and came home +$200.
    3/8 2683 steps walking into and out of the casino for lunch.
    3/9 2545 I did nothing, cool and windy
    3/10 2153 Out to eat with friends for lunch. Cool, windy, drizzly. Spent time sewing.
    3/11 2835 Cool and windy. Neighbor had reaction to COVID shot #2 and was too tired to make it through her physical therapy appointment.
    3/12 TBD. It’s currently wet outside but no wind noted.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    03/02 …..207.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
    03/03 …..207.0 ….. Traveled yesterday afternoon and evening and I still show a drop. Some wise food choices while dining paid off. I am beginning to miss my Intermittent Fasting routine. It is impossible to practice this with the work crews here. I eat quickly in the morning before they get here so my sugar won’t drop while they are here. One man brings his wife and son every day who sit at my kitchen table. I won’t cook or eat in front of them so it makes it difficult. I am keeping some Premier Protein on hand in the fridge if they stay late and it gets bad. The real challenge is not to gorge myself with food when they all leave since I am so hungry. We all have our specific challenges and right now, that is mine. With very little breaks, the remodels of several areas will go on for months and months so planning is key. Temps have been warming up a touch but it is very unusual in March in my area. It has made everything sheets of ice and very dangerous. It is too early for spring so things will get cold and snowy again for a couple more months. It is just nice to see the sunshine.

    03/04 …..208.4 ….. A severe glucose drop last night. I kept my cool pretty good. A bowl of cereal with milk very late night did not help my scale this morning, but it did fix the symptoms. Aiming for a well-balanced day today. Tomorrow is travel out-of-town for my appointment with attorney. Time to update my will. I haven’t made changes since my husband died 5 years ago. My children are all grown since I originally made my will which changes things. Also, with the recent sale of my two businesses, it really needs to be done. I will try to keep any luncheon choices reasonable.

    03/05 …..208.4 ….. Small quantities but bad choices. Another glucose drop last night. This one was the type that makes you feel drunk. Woozy, unsteady on feet. Strange foot to floor sensations. Clouded thinking and judgement. High fall risk, must hold on to things because of staggering. Not as fast coming on as the feeding frenzy kind but something that has to be dealt with. Very cloudy vision. Strange thinking. Drunk is the only way I can describe it. This shows how out of shape my diet is (when too low calorie or carb puts me in this state). My body doesn’t want the (healthy) change. I will take it slow. Traveling today to work on having my will & trust updated along with some other legal matters. Lunch will be out-of-town. Everything is challenging right now.

    03/06 …..208.4 ….. Went to my appointment yesterday to begin the process of updating my Will, my Trust, my Power-of-Attorney and my Advanced Directive. I was given some homework and my next appointment is March 17th. My luncheon out was light, I ate half and finished the other half for dinner. Bad snacks last night but my scale is steady. No glucose drops. I hope the lunch doesn’t creep up later in the week on the scale, as sometimes happens. I will try to keep it light today. I took my truck yesterday so I could get my new bathtub from Home Depot. That means one less out-of-town trip this month. A blessing for my waistline?


    03/07 …..207.6 ….. That is more like it! There will be a family meeting today with my children in regards to my Will & Trust. It is part of my homework. We will have pizza takeout. The meeting is this evening. It will be impossible to cook anything major because my work crew is epected today (thus the meeting this evening after they leave.) I’ll be kicking the crew out by 5:00 so my meeting can be held at the kitchen table. This is a difficult meeting and moment for me. I don’t have much time or opportunity to eat during the day because of the remodel and work crew (just breakfast), so I will not be able to stress eat. That will help save the calories for dinner. In saying that, it reminds me that I do miss intermittent fasting. However, since I have to eat breakfast it makes it pretty impossible to fast. Sometimes the workers do not leave until 10 or 11 at night and as a diabetic, I could never fast that long (nearly 24 hours?). Doing my best with what I can, just like everyone else. Yes, we are all in a different boat, but we are in our boats together!

    03/08 …..208.2 ….. This is how pizza looks on me. I kept my meal small but high calorie and high carbs combined foods are a ticking time bomb. I will try to be extra careful today though I must tiptoe around glucose drops which have plagued me again lately. I will work on the right balance today so I can stick to plan.

    03/09 …..206.8 ….. Happy Dance!

    03/10 …..204.8 ….. Wow! I did not expect that. Yesterday was not super active. I rented the movie “Music” for a movie night for just myself. With my son being autistic, I just had to see it. She was much more severe than my son and the film was very artsy but overall, pretty good. Certainly, the actress who played Music did a believable job. It was up for some of the recent Golden Globe awards so I was curious. However, not a movie I would need to see again. I did have a glucose drop that woke me up at 4:30 a.m. from a straight sleep. The drunken kind of drop which had to be dealt with but was not a super instinctive feeding frenzy. I dealt with it but worried about what the scale would bring this morning so I checked the weight multiple times. Shocked but grateful. I am feeling weak and a bit drunken this morning. Testing shows I’m not level again. Wow! How my body fights me when I try to adjust my foods. It really wants to be fat and diabetic! I will win this fight!

    I am finally on a waiting list for the vaccination. I don’t know how long it may be. I am in a very small county and our health dept is shared by 6 (or more) counties so it is over an hour’s drive to the center they are just now setting up to use soon (according to the website). Also, a lower amount of shots being shipped to us because our population is much lower. But just knowing I am on a list now makes me feel better. I don’t feel safer yet till they poke me, just better. Happy hump day everyone!


    03/11 …..206.2 ….. I guess two pounds down overnight is something I shouldn’t have believed anyway! I had a good day yesterday. Meals were in line with plan and more steps than usual. No TMI might explain. I am still down 1.2 lbs from my starting weight so goal has been met. Gotta keep my cool before the final weigh in tomorrow. Have a wonderful day everyone. The sun is shining here and melting some snow in northern Michigan USA.


    03/12 …..207.0 ….. Down 0.4 for the round which meets my goal. Family emergency, no time to chat.


    sfh68jfmu1sx.png

    03/01 – 11,051 Steps yesterday. The most steps in a very long time. Certainly the most since my retirement!
    03/02 - 6,181 Steps yesterday. It was a busy day with the remodel. Full house.
    03/03 - 4,937 Steps yesterday. Unexpected travel with lots of car rides. I keep my fitbit on my non-dominate wrist, not my ankle, so I know I actually got in over 10,000 with ALL the shopping. However, I had no time for any extra planned exercise yesterday so I am grateful for the steps in the big box stores.
    03/04 - 6,589 It was a paperwork day. Not as much movement or as many steps as I would have liked.
    03/05 - 4,276. Another paperwork day as I prepped for my attorney appointment today for my will & trust (and other matters). Travel today will bring light steps for tomorrow also.
    03/06 - 7,489 Traveled but still got in some steps.
    03/07 – 6,827 Steps. I should have tried harder. I probably could have gotten more in. I have been doing some planned stairs in the house though.
    03/08 - 7,092 Steps. I had a sit-down meeting last night so getting more steps in was impossible. I am shocked, actually, that I got in this many!
    03/09 - 8,217 Steps.
    03/10 - 7,123 Steps. I had a movie night last night.
    03/11 - 8,635 Steps and I worked for every one of them intentionally!
    03/12 - 8,672 Steps.

    Thanks! Yes, my new profile picture is my reward outfit - I tried to include it in my post but it wouldn’t let me (which is why I double-posted - I didn’t realize the first one went through! So sorry everyone!)

    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!😷

    March 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!
