Round 144 (19): 124.4 to 124.8 (+0.4 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Weigh every three days
- Add 1/3 of exercise calories to daily calorie goal
3/23 - 124.6 - I’m in for one more round as I continue to get maintenance figured out. I was higher than I’d have liked last round - I was expecting to drop a little rather than gain, but the round included multiple high calorie days and it’s too soon to see a regular trend. I’m going to try and continue to spread out the weigh-ins to see if I can get used to it, but I’ll revisit the idea at the end of the round. I may just feel better weighing each day since it gives me more data. For calories - I kind of geeked out with a spreadsheet, but I’ve figured out my average daily calories before exercise and I plan to aim for 1840 (my daily activity calories) plus 1/3 of my exercise calories. That should generally come to around 1950 each day.
03/24 - DNW - TOM started today and it kind of snuck up on me this time. I guess I’ve attributed the increase/lack of decrease on the scale to other things, and any increased hunger was masked as I let myself eat more calories. I’m definitely feeling it today though - hopefully the kids will be happy with playing in the backyard so I can rest a bit. If not, I may have to resort to some Daniel Tiger. 😂
03/25 - DNW - Beautiful sunny day! Trying to spend as much of it outside as possible. Snacked a bit more than I intended last night for game night, but I don’t think I did too much damage. We’re getting takeout bbq tonight though, which may impact the scale tomorrow.

3/25 Life has been a whirl wind. Food has been decent. Maybe not the best but not the worst either. My skin is acting out though and I have a funny feeling it’s somehow food related. Tomorrow night we are celebrating my husband being done with his first clinical fieldwork. So, we’re going out for drinks and dinner, then getting an Airbnb for the night near the coast. So that should be fun! Next week I plan on getting more focused though!
Work is going to get even crazier because someone is leaving their position but my team will pull together and get through this period of transition. With that happening, I might get even more sporadic but I will be consistently tracking in the app because that keeps me sane and I won't spiral if I'm tracking. I've also been keeping up with my bike rides and yoga in the morning.

✔Day1▪︎Tu•3/23- 215 (Mo/22- 7:30pm, hrs) 47g carbs Well, can't shake this 215. I can't stop eating bread and crackers, because I'm just not eating enough food. I just don't want to eat. Bread fills me up and I don't have to think about it. My joints aren't happy though. Lol. I'm not worried. I go through this cycle periodically. I think I reached 1400 calories once or twice this month. Not eating enough is a common thread with the women in my family. I can go all day without eating, except I gain weight when I don't eat. Anyway, I will correct it. I've gone back to having a green smoothie every day. That seems to help me give up the bread.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/23- 214lb Happy the scales are going down in the right direction. Got to pull my finger out tonight and do some cooking for the next couple of days worth of lunches.
03/24- 215lb. Feel really tired and groggy today as if I have had a few drinks which I haven’t! Knew I was going to be ‘up’ as I felt bloated on the scale.
03/25- 213.8lb. Been reflecting on my first 30 days since my lifestyle change, and for once I feel like I have got the food part of my change sorted. This is a complete reverse to other attempts where I go all out exercising to create myself a large deficit. Despite this success, I really want to start upping my exercise game, hoping my desire to do this increases when gyms open on 12th April. 9.4lb lost in 30 days. Really happy with this, but know that, a)- this will slow down and b) there’s still a long way to go!
03/26-213.4lb. Was low on calories yesterday- a very small dinner really filled me up! Going for a run pre-work today and I’m going to make sure I drink plenty of water today. Going to allow myself a beer or two tonight, but I will stay within my calories. For two weeks in a row I’ve managed to go 6 days AF each week.

Increase daily steps to 8000Looking 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:JGM10D ~|~ Round 145- 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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
End of round 144: 172.8
3/23 171.6 Sat in the hospital most of the day with daughter. They wouldn't let me walk during her procedure. Just had to sit in her room. Walked in place for a while until I realized I might be bothering whatever poor soul had the room underneath me. Her surgery went well, then I chased baby in the evening, but exercise wasn’t as I had hoped. I logged EVERYTHING yesterday (and the day before), though. That is what I have to do this round. If I can’t log it accurately, I don’t need to eat it.
3/24 172 Ate on plan and recorded everything. Had most everything pre-planned before the day began and had dinner in the crockpot when I got home from work.
3/25 170.2 Didn’t eat much at all yesterday because of a sour stomach, so this may not hold. But I’ll take it for today! LOL
3/26 171.2 Was able to eat something finally yesterday, so this makes perfect sense. No hugs needed. Am doing well with my tracking.

Personal exercise goals for March:
Average 10,000 steps a day
Walk or ride 150 milesWhen I count miles walked, it is just those that are tracked by GPS. I don’t use my watch “total miles for the day” number—just, when I go out for a walk, I log that. That’s why I’m working on my overall step count this month. I’m interested to see what effect getting in more steps throughout the day has on my TDEE number I can track in my watch/phone. Think I’ll add that to these numbers just so I have an easy record. I think that might be important long term, and I’ve never paid much attention to it. So, I think I might gain some insight this month by tracking all of this. Fingers crossed!Average Steps: 11,587

OK, so I have two possible reasons it dropped this much in one day. One involves TMI. The other is that my scale in on the fritz.

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.

3/25 Life has been a whirl wind. Food has been decent. Maybe not the best but not the worst either. My skin is acting out though and I have a funny feeling it’s somehow food related. Tomorrow night we are celebrating my husband being done with his first clinical fieldwork. So, we’re going out for drinks and dinner, then getting an Airbnb for the night near the coast. So that should be fun! Next week I plan on getting more focused though!
3/26 115.6 Happy with the progress I’ve made with maintaining. Started my day with a beet and blueberry smoothie (other ingredients: 100 g banana, 150 g frozen blueberries, 16 g cashews, 240 ml coconut water, 85 g pressure cooked beets, 2-3 fluffy cups of fresh spinach/kale combo, about 2 tsps fresh ginger, my daily fibers [oat and inulin], plus 6 or so ice cubes). I also had two slices of high fiber toast with 8 g of butter coming in at 600 calories total. Have a good weekend everyone!

Back to basics, methinks. Calories matter, but so do macros and their parts. I already know that 1500 seems to be the magic number for me for calories, at least right now, and I own up to eating more than that way too regularly. But I just took a look back at my macros, which lately have been low on protein (~16%), good on carbs (45%, mostly whole grains, veggies, legumes, though also too much nice cream lately), high on fat (~40%, a lot from cheese). When I was losing regularly I was eating ~P20-25%, F~30%, mostly unsaturated, C45-50%, mostly veggies, whole grains, legumes, and virtually no added sugars. I was also more active, and I’m working on that. Not going to the gym all year has not helped — I used to go every day M-F, plus long outdoor walks. Anyway, I’m sort of thinking out loud (?) here, but it helps me ‘fess up and face the reality that I’m no longer holding steady at too heavy but am gaining again. So.... I’m grateful for this nonjudgmental forum, though I’m sure some of you must be rolling your eyes at my repeated vows to do something “this round”! 🙄 Ok, I’m off now to get a new bluebird house and to walk the Indiana Native Tree Trail along the St. Marys River before the rain. Happy round to us all!
3/24 - 184 - 1284
Yesterday was gorgeous, and I had a nice long walk along the river. I felt more in control, and hit my macros nicely with P21 F30 C49. All good!
3/25 - 183.8 - 1649
A bit high on calories, I missed my macros (P17, F38, C45), but I’m aiming for averages and have today planned, so all good.
3/26 - 183.6 - 1587
Calories still too high, but all good, healthful food, so I can’t feel too guilty. Still need to work on macros (P18, F37, C45). I got a nice walk & some preliminary garden cleanup in before the wind came up. I won’t do any serious cleanup until it’s actually warm and the little creatures have emerged. My daffodils are blooming, and forsythia are right on the edge. I love the yellows of spring. 🌼🌷🌼🌹🌼🌷🌼🌹🌼 Happy Friday, all!

03/23 195.8 Some of the salt is gone but I am still sore today. I realize with me missing days that my numbers were way off I have posting in round 143 for round 144. So I corrected and am starting Round 145. Meanwhile I don’t think I can make my step goal but I will continue to try.
03/24 195.5 I am still sore today. It is mostly my hamstrings but it is a good soreness. It does make things a bit harder to complete my cardio. The last day or two I have been thinking about how to increase protein and veggies and reduce my carbs. It is not just about getting rid of sweets in my house. I realize that potatoes, rice, pasta have increased in consumption in my household. I need less of that and more veggies, more protein. So today my salad which is usually just 4 to 6 leafs of romaine, I included almost a cup of spinach and arugula as well. It’s much bigger. I also included lots of cucumbers and green peppers. I am having homemade spicy shrimp tacos for dinner today. Plus I got to 83 oz of water yesterday!
03/25 194.6 It was totally worth those tacos. It was spicy enough to make my nose run. The salad made me feel very full and very satisfied. I will be breaking out the big bowl for salads going forward.
03/26 197.1 So this the result of a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Too much cheese, milk or cream does not agree with me but apparently I am not lactose intolerance. When I make a grilled ham and cheese I use one maybe one and a half slices of cheese but I let someone make it and the weight gain is bloating. TMI, but other than that I had a wonderful calorie day. I had 83 ounce of water and a low calorie dinner.

03/26 - 146.6 - I'm now wondering if yesterday was a false high. My scale said 152 this morning and I decided there is absolutely no way possible it could be right. Stepped on 2 more times and its 146.6. Why is my scale being so wonky lately?! Note to self: step on 2-3 times to make sure first reading isn't false high. I feel a lot better. Had last minute pork tacos last night with Fam. I made taco salad and inspired FamWife to do the same. Fasted 17.5hr, 105oz water.
I'm going to vent because it helps me think: Just found that my old "gym" has online workouts now! 9Round is a boxing/kickboxing 30 minute workout. Show up whenever and jump in. I've done 2-a-days there, before no issue before I moved. Loved it so much. Closest one is now 45 minutes away and work schedule doesn't accommodate it. It was $70/month in person. Online workouts are $20. I'm really really heavily debating it. The hardest part is I LOVED bag work and sparring but online only includes shadow boxing (which is good, no place for a bag or two in this house). Might do the 7 day trial. I'm not entirely sure yet.

Previous Day's Comments03/23 - I'll follow suit, then. TOM is coming and I am bloaaaaated. Fasted 18hr yesterday (made some homemade biscuits for biscuits and gravy for the first time). Then made some cheesy cheddar ranch pasta for dinner. Way too cheesy, need to adjust the recipe. 90oz water, or a little more.
03/24 - I measured myself real quick, all my measurements are the same, the weight is just up (TOM). That makes me feel a whole lot better and explains why I needed a new hole in my belt. Fasted 16.5hr and 90oz water. FamHub's birthday yesterday so we had seafood (made at home) and I imagine the salt isn't helping, either. Also, I have a date in mind. 12 weeks. That allows a 1lb per week loss to hit the upper-limit of my maintenance goal (I updated my UGW to a weight range). It also coincides with my BF and Godson's bdays (day after each other) and Father's Day weekend (we usually have something bigger planned since 3 events fall on same weekend) so it gives me a solid event, not just arbitrary date.
03/25 - That would be the homemade chinese food last night and TOM still hanging around. Fasted 16hrs, drank 95oz water. Outside of not eating dinner with everyone else (feels super rude), I don't know what else to do. Hopefully tonight's dinner is lighter and easier on my body. Aiming for 17hr fast today. Also going to keep pushing water. I start off so good in the morning and it tapers off by afternoon. Need to figure something out. Maybe adding in a tea bag for flavoring? Maybe some lemon juice? If y'all have any good ideas that are super quick (just pop it in my cup), let me know!

03/23 - 7,587 Whoo! I paced the house in the morning to hit 1,000 steps by 9am and then we walked the land to plant sunflower seeds. If today's weather holds, I may try to venture out for a walk.

03/22 …..207.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/23 …..209.0 ….. 2 chili dogs and a ton of water. My daughter brought it home from an out-of-town dairy queen. Oh, and a medium Blizzard. She’s a bad influence and I am weaker than I thought. How do you say no to one of your children who just spent hard earned money on you? She and I are going to have to have a talk.
03/24 …..208.8 ….. My first covis shot tomorrow at an out-of-town location. I’m a little nervous but happy that it’s my turn. Eating my emotions at this time but happy for a tiny dip on the scale. I’m being pulled into family problems. Temptations in food continue with my daughter constantly bringing home junk. We will be having a talk tonight!
03/25 …..208.2 ….. Leaving for out-of-town in a bit for Covid shot number 1. I am being the driver for 3 others since it is far from home. Our health departments services many cities and counties as well so it will be a bit of travel.
03/26 …..208.8 ….. After travel shock-wave. I’ll work on it today. First Covid Shot went very very well. I could not feel it at all. Was waiting for the poke and he was already putting the band-aid on! I drove 3 others who were given the shot by different volunteers. No kidding, none of us could feel ANYTHING at all. Last night I had not problem using my arm, even sleeping on my arm. It is touchy if I actually touch the site, otherwise, I still can’t feel any pain and there were no other side effects. Have a great weekend everyone!

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.
03/21 - 9,876 Steps.
03/22 - 6,321 Steps. Travel and a long birthday party sitting.
03/23 - 11,841 Steps. Lots of Housecleaning!
03/24 - 13,732 Steps. Yard Work including raking.
03/25 - 8,517 Steps. A mild resting day yesterday to ease my inflammation before the Covid-19 shot today.
03/26 - 7,024 Steps. Travel with lots of sitting.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
23/3 - 195.8. Yesterday was ok. Reasonably below target calories. But I have noticed I am struggling more to resist temptation over the last week or two. So need to get my head back in the game. Weirdly though, after bouncing up to 198 yesterday, I'm back down to just under 196 this morning.
24/3 - 196.2. Yesterday felt a bit low to be true, so I'm not too upset with this.
25/3 - 195.4 - didn't post on Thursday but I did weigh, and pretty happy with the outcome.
26/3 - 194.2 - really happy with this.
