Day, Weight, Comment
3/13 – 198 – 10,793 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. Still a little too close for comfort to the northern border of Onederland but feeling more secure that my stay here will soon be permanent! Have recalibrated some of my weight goals – trying to be realistic but also challenge myself to make significant progress. My birthday is at the end of April and I’d very much like to move further south across the northern border of "overweight" BMI territory at 185 lbs by then. Today’s focus: Don’t think about work, school, career, future. Enjoy the moment. Be thankful for what I have. Probably a short hike/walk near home today. We may be passing by In-and-Out on the way home.
3/14 – 199 - 30,428 steps yesterday. Probably a little too much sodium yesterday. Fasting today. Hoping to see a significant drop tomorrow.
3/15 – 196.6 – 10,107 steps yesterday. A little drop from fasting. I’d hoped to dip a little lower. Focus on eating mindfully today.
3/16 – 198.4 – 10,067 steps yesterday. Barely making those 10,000 steps some days! With everything going on the last couple of weeks I haven’t been doing my aerobics regularly. Have to get back into it. Focus as always on eating mindfully.

I was a bit “off” yesterday from my second COVID shot — I slept all afternoon, went to bed earlier than usual and slept until 8:40! Whew! I do feel better, though not 100%. May need some more sleep, which should get me in shape for Springing forward tonight! Happy Saturday, all!
3/14 - 183
29th anniversary. It’s been a great 3 decades, full of dogs, cats, gardens, adventures, love.... Ordering out for anniversary dinner, so I expect a bump up tomorrow, but that’s ok.
3/15 - 183
I had a major pig out for our anniversary carry out — we ordered from our fav Italian restaurant, and I had a fabulous chicken breast cooked in lemon mushroom sauce. Actually not too bad on the calories front, since we ate around 2 and considered it lunch & dinner. I went for a lovely walk later. Today we’ve dropped back into the 20s and there’s a possibility of sleet. Oh, well, this will be short term.
3/16 - 182.8
Well, I paid for my anniversary pig out with an upset tummy all day yesterday, still a touch this morning. We got “wintry mix” yesterday and it’s cold today, but the temp is supposed to be on it’s way up. Yay! Can’t wait for warm weather & more flowers. Here are some already up!.

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.

3/14-170-I am so glad to be back; I’ve been so busy. Last weekend, my girlfriend came here with 10 quilt tops and we quilted them and put binding on them. They are “comfort quilts” that our quilt guild gives to a person who has lost a loved one or has a sickness. We ate and drank our selves silly while working on the quilts. Then, our near by quilt shops had a “shop hop” that I worked at for three days. We usually get takeout food, but I brought my healthy lunch every day and felt so good.
3/15-170-Whew! Friends had us over for corned beef, chips dips and all, I drank lots of water and came out OK.
3/16-DNW-Hoping to get a walk in this morning before I head to a garden meeting. Sunshine today!!!6 -

3/13 - DNW - It was hard NOT to step on the scale this morning! I’ve gotten so addicted to seeing that number, even if it went up rather than down. I made myself drink some coffee so the number wouldn’t be comparable anyway.
3/14 - 126.2 - So much for easing into maintenance. We’d planned to do a Pi Day/St Patrick’s Day party today with the other family we’ve podded with during the pandemic, but upon hearing that it’s supposed to be cold and rainy today we made the quick change yesterday morning to move it up to last night. Plenty of tortilla chips, one extra slice of pizza and a piece of Bailey’s Irish Cream Chocolate pie later, and this is the result on the scale this morning. (I regret nothing - that pie was incredible 😂) I expect that to drop back to around 125 in the next few days. I did go out for a 5K run this morning - 10:30 minute/mile pace and I didn’t have to stop and walk at all!
In the meantime - today is meal prep day! Definitely not dropping that. I’m going to make carrot cake overnight oats & egg muffins with corn, bell pepper and cheddar for breakfasts and chicken larb plus rice for lunches this week. I’m also making a lemon asparagus soup to freeze.
3/15 - DNW - Getting my head in the right place over not weighing is so hard. I “know” the weight isn’t going to suddenly reappear if I don’t weigh in each day, but I still struggle with feeling like if I stop any one of the steps I’ve been doing all my progress will vanish. I did a 30 minute strength workout this morning and I think I have a new strength goal - push-ups! I’ll see how many full form push-ups I can do and try and build from there. I know I can do one, but not more than 5. I’ll build from there!
3/16 - 125.2 - I’m having more trouble adjusting to Daylight Savings than the kids - I’m staying up too late and getting up to exercise is so hard. I’m happier with that number on the scale; I’ve been staying around 1850 calories a day though it’s tough with the chocolate pie in the house. I’m making healthy green (spinach!) muffins with the kids today, but we’ll be doing shamrock shaped rice krispy treats tomorrow in addition to corned beef, cabbage and carrots for St. Patrick’s Day.

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 …..

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.6 -

March focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 144- 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.

03/16 - 168.2 lbs it was really nice outside today so I went to the park to try and run. I met up with some friends and tried to get them to run with me but we ended up just talking. It looks like I’m going to have to go on a night run...
I don’t want to feel like this but I’m a little disappointed that my weight isn’t going down as fast as I want it. I understand that I lost 4.4 lbs really fast but most of that was probably water weight...usually I’ll lose 5-10 lbs fast then plateau, it usually takes weeks to see any real changes in my body.
None of this is a problem... I’m just trying to train myself to look at it as a fun challenge instead of a defeating grind.
I have a quote that I found awhile back that I really like

CW: 216.4lb
Hoping to get down to 214lb during this 10 day cycle.
Day/Weight/Comment
03/13- 217.8lb! Lots of snacking, albeit on ‘healthy’ food and wine have contribute to this. I know it’s not a real gain and will come down in the next few days with an increase in me drinking water. I’ve been for a lovely 10km walk today and will do another one tomorrow. I’m not hungry today, so I’m listening to my body (for a change) and will keep the calories low.
03/14- 218lb. Was well under with my calories yesterday, only ate 1400 plus did a 2 hour walk. Plenty of water today and a nice walk should start to see the scales go back down. Although I love weighing each day and completely understand why weight fluctuates so much, it does take a while to truly make peace with the fact that just because you were well under the day before doesn’t necessarily mean a drop on weight the next day. Looking back at previous weigh ins, most of my ‘drops’ appear to be mid-week, after my body has had chance to flush out excess water from the weekends workouts.
03/15- 216.6lb . Happy to be down, but would like a couple of days in this direction! Great NSV today, came home knackered from work, headache and generally not feeling great. Pushed myself to go on a walk with my little boy- even if it was just a 5km walk.
03/16- 215.6lb. Happy to see it go down again. Got a long day at work, so I’ve come prepared, packed a healthy lunch plus a healthy snack for early evening. Hopefully this will leave me feeling satiated until I get home and not cause a hungry binge!!! Feeling a lot better in myself, despite realising just how far I’ve got to go to get near my goal weight. Need to stop thinking about a date for when I want to have hit it, just focus on the process of being healthy and getting fitter. Cannot wait for the gyms to reopen in the UK!!!
03/17- 214.6lb. Another pound lost on the scales!! All calories and meals are planned for today and I’m going to stick to them. Got a massive cooking session tonight after work to make sure that my meals are prepped for the rest of the working week.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
03/14 129.6 – 10.35 miles walked yesterday, pizza night within calories, but carbs heavy. Happy Mothers Day to all you Mom's out there.
03/15 129.6 – 9.47 miles walked yesterday, stayed within calories & all macros. Had lovely video calls 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. Planted 3 dozen assorted colour pansies yesterday, need to get some more, but my knees were complaining afterwards, so have to ration my time doing this! Don't like to admit that these are the things that make me feel my age!! Happy St. Paddy's Day to all my Irish friends.

@SheilaBoneham - what a lovely splash of colour!! Thanks for sharing with us.
@amandalyn333 - stick with it, have a little patience and I'm sure you will start to see the results; I know we all want a magic wand to lose very quickly and consistantly, but it is said that if you lose slowly rather than rapidly it's more likely to stay off - slow and steady wins the race, you'll get there, I'm sure.4 -
Good Morning!
Sooooo I have totally been off track the past days/ week. In the beginning I was so mad at myself for falling of track, but then I decided to give myself the break while I was home with my family. Looots of delicious home cooked meals! Today I am back at my place, with lots of motivation and the plan to join the 10-day challenge again.

03/15 - 56,40 To be honest, it is quite hard to see this weight again. I felt so accomplished after round 143, when I was so close to my ultimate goal weight. But I am currently telling myself again and again, that it is okay to start over, that this is about a lifestyle and not a quick change and that I have already proven that I am capable of losing the next kg.
03/16 - 55,70 woah, okay I did not expect such a quick drop. However I do suspect this is also partly because of my lack of drinking water yesterday. Let's see how it is tomorrow. Eating wise I did go over my calories. But I did have a really active day with iceskating, walking around town and riding my bike to an appointment. I did have quite a hard time personally in the evening. Normally this would have meant: big binge. I did eat way more, but I did opt for some low-cal ice cream, which helped. Today I already went on a run, which was great!
03/17 - 55,60 this is going quite good! I finally have my bike again & the weather is okayish, so its bearable to bike again. I have so much fun doing it & I feel it always helps with getting movement in. Biked to the supermarket and my friends place yesterday. I went above my calories quite a lot, as my roommate (what do you call that in English when you share a flat?) was cooking & I craved sweets all day. But one nice note on that: she was always quite dismissive of my journey. I think she still is not really liking the weight loss thought, but she lately has adapted some healthy meals & now also cooks more balance every then and now! With kinda excites me, as obviously at the end of the day its not about the scale, but about a healthy lifestyle!

03/17 - 146.2 - Still coming back down. Wish it wasn't so slow, but that's my body for ya. Daughter drank my water again (why won't she get her own cup?!) so guestimating about 70oz water for me. Fasted 16hrs. Happy St. Paddys Day!

Previous Day's Comments03/13 - Not enough water and a late night snack (kids man...they want a snack then don't eat it. They'd only eat it if I ate one.) 62oz, 16hr fast. BF left early this AM to pick up kids for spring break so I'm going to run errands and get some things done I needed today.
03/14 - Expected. Texas is open again and my town is back to being vacation/bachelorette party central. BF and kids arrived at 7. They wanted Mexican. Unfortunately, the wait was FOREVER and we didn't get food until 9pm. Was short on water, as well, from running errands and the daughter drank my water haha Oh well. Fasted 12hrs, stopped while running errands to support my friend's small business and she had a new drink for me to try. I can't NOT get it. That's why fasting is flexible, right? Once everybody is up and moving, we are going to Fam's land to do more tree cleanup from the winter storm and then have fun with kiddos. Hopefully I'll burn some extra calories and be able to get my water in to flush some of this out. I won't be surprised if it takes a few days.
03/15 - Still dealing with sodium-related water retention. Again, I'm expected it to take a few days to drop off. Back to the grind with work, which will hopefully keep me in line fasting and water wise.
03/16 - Down it goes, hopefully it keeps going. Fasted 16.5hrs, about 95oz water.

03/15 - 198.0 Pretty happy with this as a starting point (sort of) for this round. Usually Mondays see my weight jumping because I allow myself some more calories, more diet fizzy drinks and more sodium-heavy food. Today it has jumped, but by less than half a pound.
03/16 - 198.2 This is OK. Was well under calories yesterday. A couple of small walks so not very active. But it's pretty common for me to continue going up slightly on a Tuesday. And then hopefully start to drop back a bit from Wednesday to Saturday...
03/17 - 196.8. Really happy to see a big drop. Calories well under target again yesterday - but will eat some of those back at the weekend.

I was a bit “off” yesterday from my second COVID shot — I slept all afternoon, went to bed earlier than usual and slept until 8:40! Whew! I do feel better, though not 100%. May need some more sleep, which should get me in shape for Springing forward tonight! Happy Saturday, all!
3/14 - 183
29th anniversary. It’s been a great 3 decades, full of dogs, cats, gardens, adventures, love.... Ordering out for anniversary dinner, so I expect a bump up tomorrow, but that’s ok.
3/15 - 183
I had a major pig out for our anniversary carry out — we ordered from our fav Italian restaurant, and I had a fabulous chicken breast cooked in lemon mushroom sauce. Actually not too bad on the calories front, since we ate around 2 and considered it lunch & dinner. I went for a lovely walk later. Today we’ve dropped back into the 20s and there’s a possibility of sleet. Oh, well, this will be short term.
3/16 - 182.8
Well, I paid for my anniversary pig out with an upset tummy all day yesterday, still a touch this morning. We got “wintry mix” yesterday and it’s cold today, but the temp is supposed to be on it’s way up. Yay! Can’t wait for warm weather & more flowers. Here are some already up!
3/17 - 183.2
I didn’t check yesterday’s sodium, but I feel bloated this morning, so I’m thinking less salt, more wawa. It’s a chilly, frosty morning, but we’re supposed to hit the mid-60s this afternoon. I’m looking forward to a nice walk!

Round 144
Month/Day: Exercise / Comment
3/13: 211.6
I had ¾ of a Jack’s frozen pizza last night. Having some friends over tonight, so tomorrow could be higher. Sous vide steak, finished on the grill. They are bringing the dessert. I better try to limit the damage today until then.
3/14: 212.8
3/15: 213.4
As you can see, I had a bit of a discipline problem over the weekend. And, I am still carrying around ALL of that lack of discipline. Had some friends over Saturday night that we had not seen since December. Plenty to eat and drink. Yesterday we had leftovers.
3/16: 212.8
The second half of this challenge needs a miracle.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
3/13 207.1 Walk 2.7 miles, 1959 cal, 97 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Nachos & ice cream & rice … not the best day and not the right way to tackle stress.
3/14 207.0 Walked 2.6 miles, 1567 cal, 92 net carbs, AF. Lazy day. I took the day as a mental break and accomplished 3 things: grocery shopping, my walk, cutting DH’s hair. Otherwise I dreamed of vacations (created a wish list with DH while we dined at an outside restaurant) and searched for European River Cruises and Backroads Active Travel Adventures. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
3/15 207.7 Walked 3.3 miles, gardened, 2083 cal, 108 net carbs, AF. Lots of unnecessary snacks between 1-4pm I was tired and should have taken a nap!
3/16 207.7 No exercise, dine out for lunch & dinner, shopping for dress, 2325 cal, 73 net carbs, Torchy’s Tini. My sister is on spring break so we are running the roads and I’m still stressed with party planning, deadlines all week, meetings all meet with vendors, as well as hosted book club over zoom.
3/17 208.1 Walked 1 mile, shopping for dress, 2031 cal, 131 net carbs, 1 skinny margarita lunch with sister, 2 wine dinner. Need to reel myself back in and focus on me first before stressing for the day.

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.

03/13 DNW no exercise today and still struggling with food choices because weather is too cool and windy. We did have some great weather day’s last week.

03/15 196.3 TOM is approaching. Maybe by the end of this round I’ll see a loss.
03/16 196.0 It’s something. Good morning to all.
