Day, Weight, Comment
3/23 – 196.4 – 13,908 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. Another stressful job interview today. Hope I don’t get so nervous that I blow it again. Another presentation for this one. Also hope I don’t drink entire bottle of wine afterward.
3/24 – 198.2 – 10,208 steps, 20 min aerobics yesterday. Job interview rescheduled after preparing all day. Now I get to do it again tomorrow. Ate some scary delivery tacos last night that are still sitting undigested in my system. Fasting today. Quítate, birria!
3/25 - 195.4 - 13,438 steps yesterday. Fasted yesterday so I know this drop is temporary but it still feels like progress to have finally dropped below 196. I really, really, really would like to be at or below 195 April 1. A challenging schedule the next week, but I’ll find a way! Please lord let me finish with this job interview today. Then I write a press release Saturday for this job, then I can focus on my current job. Sheesh. Job seeking is tough. Also finalized application to secondary licensure program yesterday and may be enrolling in a summer course if neither of the jobs I’m still in the running for hires me.

@starrjulia8 When I went low carb, I got an inexpensive spiralizer from my daughter. The first time I used it on zucchini I made my husband regular spaghetti and gave him some zucchini with his pasta. He said the zucchini was “pretty good,” a high compliment from him. After giving it a couple more test runs, I got the spiralizer attachment for my mixer. And I gave away 19 POUNDS of pasta that was in my pantry!!! We also use spaghetti squash as an alternative. Both of these are high in water content so I make them early to allow the veg to dry/drain a little.4

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.

03/01 – 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.7 -

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment3/23 - 184.6 - 1849 😕
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.

I was just talking to my sister about this yesterday. I will look into the purchase. I know I can buy zucchini from Hannaford's already in spiral but I like the idea of being able to do it myself.
Thank you3 -

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.

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.

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.

😷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.
