    Day/Weight/Comment
    03/12 …..207.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
    03/13 …..207.2 ….. Daughter and 3 yr old grandson moved in last night after family feuding. For a short time or for much longer? I don’t know yet but this will definitely put my meals even more out of whack! I’ll have to figure this out! The plus side, more time with them and lots of extra steps. Good luck everyone this round!

    03/14 …..207.2 ….. No change. Hectic here right now…

    03/15 …..207.2 ….. Not doing well on the diet with the houseful of people daily. Between family moving in and the renovation crew, my life is upside down! Doing my best here but I just don’t have the space, the energy or the privacy I need to cook multiple dinners, lunches, etc. I already cook 2 different ones per meal due to my son’s autism and eating disorders. I’m not going to throw my hands up. I will find the answers.


    03/16 …..207.0 ….. A bit surprised to see this after Chinese leftovers yesterday. Tomorrow is travel back to my attorney for Will & Trust things again. Lunch will be out. She is far from home.

    03/17 …..xxxxx ….. DNW. In such a hurry for travel this morning (also dealing with DGS the scale never crossed my mind. Lunch was out. The best Pizza I have ever had which came highly recommended for the city I was going to. Thank Goodness I live far from THAT pizza restaurant!

    03/18 …..207.4 ….. Whew! It could have been worse! This I can handle! Tonight is our St. Patty’s Day Dinner which was pushed back a day due to my travel yesterday. Sharing with quite a few so my portions will be forced to be minimal. That is a good thing!

    03/19 …..207.4 ….. Grateful and surprised for no change after a high-sodium corned beef dinner last night. Will it slowly creep in during the coming days? Time will tell but I will continue pushing water today. Babysitting DGS all day so I will be moving all day. He’s 3.

    03/20 …..207.0 ….. Back to where I started, which I suppose is in the right direction, but a bit disappointing at this stage of the challenge. Last night was leftover Corned beef dinner which I kept pretty light. I really pushed the water. Tomorrow is my DGS’s 2nd birthday. He lives about an hour away and it will be at a hall. I hope there will be mask-wearing. I am so close to my first covid19 shot on Thursday. The clinic is about 1 ½ hours away and I am transporting other friends and family too.

    03/21 …..208.4 ….. Not the best choices yesterday but definitely under calorie. This is the TMI/potty waiting game.

    03/22 …..xxxxx …..

    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.
    03/13 -10,237 Steps chasing active grandson.
    03/14 - 8,726
    03/15 - 7,164 Steps. Still getting them from inside home.
    03/16 - 7,546 Steps. Snow today. Grandson visiting other relatives so I will have to get those steps another way and not from chasing him! LOL.
    03/17 – 11,857 Steps. That is what grandchildren will do to you sometimes LOL!
    03/18 - 6,571 Steps. Surprised it wasn’t more!
    03/19 - 7,835 Steps.
    03/20 - 10,310 Steps. These came naturally with the babysitting and household tasks I had. I wish they came that easy every day.

    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!

    JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 144 (round 76 for me ) I need this to help me keep on track! Thank you @GrandmaJackie you so enrich so many of our lives by keeping the challenge going.

    Female age 62 5' 4” - Challenge for this round – get back & stay >130 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!

    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 – I've had my first, spread positivity and encouragement for it to others.

    Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's taken me 75 rounds to acheive my under 130 target; now mainanence starts again!! It's a permanent way of life.

    Day/Weight/Comment

    03/14 129.6 – 10.35 miles walked yesterday, pizza night within calories, but carbs heavy. Happy Mothers Day to all Mom's out there.
    03/15 129.6 – 9.47 miles walked yesterday, stayed within calories & all macros. Had lovely video calls 03/13 128.8 – WOWEEEE!! Couldn't quite believe this, got on & off 4 times, even picked the scales up & put them down again before the last weigh in!! but every time was exactly the same. If the scales are my best buddy this am, the weather definately was not yesterday, heavy rain meant I was forced to use the car rather than walk to volunteer session at vaccine centre & of course as soon as I got there it stopped :( and the sun came out . Managed to get 9.53 miles in afterwards. Excellent healthy food day.with DD, DS & DGC and lovely delivered flowers.
    03/16 129.6 – 13.21 miles walked yesterday, had a little chocolate, but kept within calories & macros.
    03/17 131.4 (uhh!) 12.4 miles walked yesterday, went overboard with eating :( determined to stay on track today & loads of water. Happy St. Paddy's Day to all my Irish friends.
    03/18 131 – 11.74 miles walked yesterday, back on track eating wise, all calories & macros in green.
    03/19 130.2 - 12.08 miles walked yesterday & a really good on track eating day well in calories & macros.

    03/20 129.6 – 2 days to keep under that 130. 13.32 miles walked yesterday – trying hard to get that step average back up to 23,723, it's certainly challenging!! Food well on track & within calories & macros.
    03/21 129.6 – 12.69 miles walked yesterday, although it was pizza night, just went slightly over on calories,but a high carb day. First day of spring, the equinox and a lovely day, trees are budding, plants shooting up and birds busy building nests and singing.
    03/22 130.2 – there's yesterdays sodium from bacon & mussels, maybe should have made different choices for the penultimate day of the round? 13.72 miles walked, within calories. 6/10 days this challenge I've achieved my goal of <130 pounds, will try for 10/10 next round – see you all there!
