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.

Day/Weight/Comment3/13 - 183
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!

Ok, asking again — does anyone know what causes weird line/paragraph formatting in posts? Why are all my paragraphs (post above) split into columns?
Edit — I may have figured it out — I used the align left command. I thought that was the default, but maybe not.3 -

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 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.
03/14 195.7 Got in a short workout today which is better than Saturday. I need to cut the sugar right now but we need to be healthy in my entire household. I am trying though.
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.

Edit — I may have figured it out — I used the align left command. I thought that was the default, but maybe not.I have the exact same problem. Anytime I bold, italicize, add an emoji, or anything other than change the color, the text after that goes to the next column. I tried 2 different browsers and it does the same thing. I'm going to try the align left command too.

03/15 118 Oh hey salty weekend and TOM arriving soon. The time change makes me so sleepy. My mom has also been in the hospital due to some stomach/gi issues… I think that is also wearing on me because it’s been like 18 days now. I have a good week of food planned though.
This weekend I was a bit indulgent and we went to Patriot Place for dinner Friday night because it was in the 60’s and we wanted to eat on a patio…but that ended up being a delicious burger and fries with wine and a sangria. Then, we picked up a bottle of wine on the way home. Then, on Saturday we went out to lunch in Newburyport because we were already near there because of an errand we were running. That lunch wasn’t as bad calorically, but it was salty. Yesterday my food was pretty good, I had two small homemade banana bread muffins (300 cals total) with a couple eggs, strawberries and a small bit of Greek yogurt to dip the berries. I had an apple for a snack. Then, dinner was roasted butternut squash, onion, and Bratwurst served over kale that we got from our CSA’s. I had never had Bratwurst so I was curious to try it. The left overs from that will be my breakfast today. Happy Monday everyone!

03/17 116.0 I’ve just decided that life is just crazy. Food was on point yesterday and it’s been solid today as well. I plan on making up for not being able to read everyone's posts and taking the time to this weekend as I'm dog sitting for my cousin's two English bulldogs who like to lounge around more than me lol. So expect pictures of their wrinkly faces. Have a good night!

Goals for this round:
- Weigh every other day
- Add 100 calories to daily calorie goal
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.
3/17 - DNW - Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️. Ran a 5K with a friend this morning; she normally dresses up as does a big fun run today, but with COVID-19 of course that’s not possible. So I offered to run with her just to make the day a little more fun for both of us.

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.
