Previous days5/12 116.8 Had a nice whoosh of water weight leave me over night. Now I’m back in a happier place for myself. I even feel less swollen, the past couple days I had been waking up and my finger joints almost hurt from the excess water retention. Today I used the spin bike and I was able to get a walk around the block in as well.5/20 116.0 That’s a nice water weight drop. I ran 5k this morning and it felt great 😊. My upper body is sore today from starting daily push-ups and exercises for my posture, but it’s a good sore. Dinner last night ended up being 2 servings of the ravioli with pesto and the left-over spinach. My husband had Chipotle, so I didn’t have to share the ravioli with him lol. Then, he’ll have the left-over steak for his lunch tomorrow. Tonight’s dinner will be slow-cooked chicken thighs in an Indian curry sauce, the leftover potatoes, naan, and some more spinach (spinach is for me, my husband doesn’t really like cooked greens). Have a good day!
5/13 116.6 Didn’t get a chance to post yesterday but started my blurb, so I included it above. I had an exercise win today of running 4 miles this morning before work. Then, I went for a 20 minute walk during my lunch. Food has been good the past two days. Dinner tonight will be a left over pork chop and butternut squash. I’ll also have a salad with it. Breakfast was my typical two eggs with high fiber toast and cream cheese but the past couple days I’ve also included some raw Macomber turnip slices too. The extra veg has been a nice filling veggie based addition to my breakfast. The raw turnip is pretty mild tasting so I sprinkle on some chili lime seasoning and it’s delicious! Tomorrow is CSA pick up day and we might be getting fresh tomatoes or cucumbers from their greenhouses…I’m so excited! 😊 .
5/14 Did not post.
5/15 Had a good day food wise yesterday and did a more mild bike ride Friday morning because TOM arrived throughout the night and kept me up. So, I wanted to be more gentle on my body. Our CSA was filled with exciting new goodies. We got our first cucumber of the season and /I can’t wait to try it with a Greek yogurt spinach artichoke dip I’m making with an abundance of fresh spinach I have still from last week’s CSA pick-up.
5/16 So, the spinach artichoke dip I made came out yummy and a generous 230 g portion only had 140ish calories. We had a relaxing day yesterday but I was productive in the morning making the dip and a batch of breakfast cookies. This morning we are heading to go out for a walk at a local trail near us, so that’ll be nice. Then, I’ll be working on my journal and creating my weekly spread because I slacked for a week or two with that and want to get back into it. I’m also going to meal plan today and come up with some easy but tasty meals for the week.
5/17 Did not post today.
5/18 Did not weigh. Food was pretty decent yesterday. I went out to dinner with old coworkers last night and got a personal size Margherita pizza from Not Your Average Joe’s. I had two small pieces of bread with 2 tsps of oil and 4 out of the 6 slices of pizza. So, between eating well during the day and not going overboard at dinner…I think I stayed within maintenance or still squeaked by with a tiny deficit. I did 30 minutes on the bike yesterday and went for about a 2 mile walk which helped me stay within my calorie goals for the day. This morning I ran 2 miles and it was my fastest time in a while! (2.11 miles in 19minutes 59 seconds) Plus, I just felt great in general running and probably could have gone further but I didn’t have the time before work.
Tonight’s dinner will be steak with roasted potatoes, onions, and beets. I’m also thinking about adding za’atar seasoning to the veggies.
5/19 116.8 Did a 20 minute bike ride this morning and plan to go for a walk this afternoon. I’ve been loving this warmer weather we’re having! It makes my afternoon walks so pleasant. We just booked a road trip to Virginia Beach for 5 days at the end of June and I’m so excited! So, I think knowing I have a vacation coming up will help me stay on track over the weekends as well (there’s more motivation to stay on track for being in a bathing suit for a week lol).
Dinner tonight for me will be burrata, basil, and corn ravioli’s from Trader Joes along with leftover steak, mushrooms, spinach and potatoes from last night.

I was part of this challenge in the past but stopped pretty much everything - eating healthy, exercise, getting enough water, - you name it! I'm back to get my butt in gear. I came back to this group because everyone here is so supportive of each other!
Goal: 64oz water each day; row 30 mins 5 of 7 days each week; eat vegetables/fruit; 1200 to 1500 calories
Two days ago I finally got thru the day without sabotaging and bingeing - and no sugar for 2 days, which is my downfall because it keeps my cravings going.
5/10 - 183.1 - first day no sugar, started back rowing, drank 64oz water, ate lots of vegetables)
5/11 - 182.9 - kept all the good things going from yesterday)
Round 150
5/12 - 182.1 - still going strong - feeling more confident that I won't go on a binge - yay!
5/13 - 182.1 - my confidence is building and no sugar is helping tremendously!
5/14 - 181.2 - I'm happy to see this number but also know it may fluctuate up and down for a few days.
5/15 - 181.2
5/16 - 181.8 - still doing all the right things - looking for the 170's!
5/17 - 182.8 - hmmm....even though I know it's normal to fluctuate day to day, I don't have to like it. LOL. I stayed within my calorie limit every day, but had pasta too many days and I believe carbs make you hold water. Pasta is literally the only processed food I eat. I also had way too much salt so that habit needs to stop. I'm going to start adding 1/4 tsp to a lunch bag and sprinkle on from that to be mindful.
5/18 - 183.4 - okay, what's going on? I'm rowing, drinking water, staying around 1300 calories and I do IF automatically because I'm never hungry in the mornings and stop eating around 5p each day. I'm going back to what I said yesterday - pasta and salt. I made sauce and ate pasta for 4 days straight until finally the sauce is gone. I think I'm trying to satisfy the withdrawal from sugar with it. I'm also wondering if 64oz of water is enough since I see a lot of you shooting for higher amounts. And truthfully, I've been hitting around 60oz the last few days. Today it's chicken and vegetables (not starchy ones either except very little sweet potato that I cooked because they were going bad). As long as I'm doing the right things, and adjusting when not, I'm not overly bummed out, but do look forward to a morning soon that I'm back down. What I am celebrating though is no bingeing and no sugar since May 10!
5/19 - 181.3 - I'm glad I've learned to stick it out when my weight fluctuates and not use it as an excuse to binge.
5/20 - 181.2 - What a difference 11 days makes! On May 9 I was eating everything in sight, not drinking water, and not exercising. It's amazing how much better I feel today compared to May 9. Why in the world wouldn't I choose to feel this way, always? I feel more confident that I can do this, and if I stay off the sugar and white flour, I will be able to control my cravings, not to mention it makes me feel like sh#$. Sugar/white flour is a running theme for me because I know it is my downfall every time!!
5/21
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Hello everyone! An expected jump up because of the general lack of precise care during the past week regarding what passed over my gums. We had a fantastic week enjoying some very wonderful scenery with friends. And yes, the Grand Canyon can not be described with pictures.
We ate a lot, but we also walked a LOT.
Then, last night back home we celebrated DGS’s 4th birthday! So cute.

Resetting well after the trip. I ate right yesterday and went to the gym after work and did a “Sprint” (spinning) class. First time in over a year. It kicked my butt.
I woke up this morning with a mild case of motivation. I will keep an eye on it.
5/20: 209.4
Even in the midst of a mild case of motivation, mistakes can be made. I need a full-on case of motivation.

My scale readings bounced up 4 pounds when I changed batteries, so I didn’t suddenly gain 4+ pounds. I didn’t want to write that down but, other than the horror of gaining, what difference does it make? So I’m going with the new readings, dammit.

Pizza (salt) yesterday, but I kept my calories in line nonetheless. Beautiful day coming up! Wishing you all a successful round.
5/13 - 188.4 - 1632
No surprise. Yesterday was a crazy day food wise — got together with 3 writer friends and the hostess had candy, nuts, pastries... I had some but counted as lunch. Then pizza leftovers for dinner. But I’m back on track with a good breakfast this morning, salad fixin’s for lunch, and baked chicken & broccoli for dinner. I’m off in a few for a walk and a nursery run, then planting. Yay! A garden day! I hope you get to do what you love today, even if only for a little while.
5//14 - 190 - 1500
Again, not happy but also not surprised — time lag from Wed. Gorgeous day coming up, and I have lots of plants to keep me busy planting plus an arbor to assemble. That should keep me mostly out of trouble.
5/15 - 190 - 1696
Ugh. I know this increase is water from a series of very carby days, but yuck. Otoh, I got my arbor in place and went for a nice long walk. I plan to spend much of today planting & doing other gardening. Supposed to be in the 70s today, rain tomorrow, so perfect. Have a lovely Saturday, all!
5/16 - 189.4 - 1239
Hard to believe we’re half way through May, and half way through this round. ⏳
5/17 - 190 - 1352
Aacckk. Salt, though — we ordered Bob Evans turkey. I replaced the dressing with broccoli, but the food tasted very salty to me, and I feel puffy. This has to stop, though. I’m aiming for lots of water, and a long walk as well as garden time today. At least I’ve done reasonably well with calories this round.
5/18 - 189 - 1562
Back in the right direction at least. It’s so tempting to go extreme, but I know that’s what got me into this re-gain after really restrictive elimination diet. Gotta say, I’m a bit miffed with the doctor & dietitian who put me on that in the first place. Anyway, off to the garden. I’m trying something new — garden for 45 min, then walk 15-20 min loop around neighborhood, rinse, repeat. Otherwise I get so involved in the garden that I skip the walk. We’ll see how that goes!
5/19 - 188.8 - 1739
I ate more than I’d planned, but spent 3 hours digging, planting, weeding, hauling things around, so didn’t do too much damage. I did have some ice cream last night and instead of just filling my bowl, I weighed it. Wow — a serving is MUCH smaller than my eye says! I’ve decided not to completely ban anything, but I do need to check my portions. I think even a little bit will satisfy desire without adding too many calories, and it seems a more sustainable way to live.
5/20 - 187.8 - 1800
Finally! I guess all the digging and lifting is burning a few calories. I’m not getting my long walks yet as the plants need to get out of their pots, but short walks also count. 🤓

Heaviest: 225
Ultimate goal weight: 130
05/11: 195.5 (not much change in my appearance so far, though I might seem to be, uh, deflating)
05/21 goal: 193.0
Day/Weight/Comment
05/12 - 195.0 (drizzly day; pulled 6 ticks off me yesterday, a new personal best/worst)
05/13 - 195.0 (weather looks promising; another hike through Tickland is scheduled for me and the dogs)
05/14 - 194.5 (another long hike scheduled for early afternoon; may try to take all 4 dogs, with 2 on long leads (give me patience); today I will remember my bug jacket, because the blackflies, though not yet biting, are flying around my face and it's annoying)
05/15 - 194.0 (sunny AND the weekend! More walking and gardening in my plans; also I don't recommend taking 4 dogs on a walk with 2 on long leads - DON'T DO IT - one was really ticked off and they kept getting tangled up; as well I forgot my bug jacket and had no free hands to swat flies away)
05/16 - 193.5 (hoping it'll clear up later; a long exploratory hike in the plans today; wish I knew more about eating wild plants; tried some goutweed (grown wild at an old collapsed house site) and it was nasty though it is supposed to be edible. Maybe it needs to be cooked.)
05/17 - 193.5 (the long hike was brilliant, a mostly grassy path winding through mixed forest; another 6 ticks on me, but I refuse to give up hiking the woods just because the tick population has exploded this year; just 2 months ago, a brisk 2-h hike would have killed me and I would have had to keep stopping to rest but now I can just keep on going so I know I'm making progress with my fitness. Of course it probably helps that I have 30 less pounds to haul around with me!)
05/18 - 193.5 (yard got checked out by a black bear last night, 6 and 1/2 hours ago, and the chihuahuas are STILL barking about it; probably will not get a woods walk in today because I have to go out)
05/19 - 193 FINALLY (a bit drizzly today but better than yesterday's thunderstorms; plan to go out on a long walk again. Oh, and 193 pounds is my official one-third-done day! Whoohoo! "Only" 13 pounds of obesity to go before I am "only" overweight! I am more determined than ever and believe that I am starting to see a difference in my appearance at last.)
05/20 - 193 again (took a long walk to the end of a woods trail and it ended in a clearing, much to my disappointment, not much further along down the road; debating whether or not to start the C25k now or wait until I weigh 180, which was my original plan)

5/12
5/13 255.2 - I was super happy about this scale reading because I had been in a scale rut for a bit.
5/14
5/15 257.8 - I was so happy about the previous weight that I laid off the water drinking and made some unproductive food choices. Learning lessons is a NSV also. Lol
5/16 - 255.6 I had a pretty good day yesterday, especially for a weekend day. I even packed a smart lunch when I went to town to get groceries, so I wouldn't eat fast food for lunch. I was yearning for some fries, but I felt better for not getting them.
Stayed under my calorie goal.
Achieved my step goal and started using resistance bands.
Reached my water goal.
5/17 - 254.8 I had dinner at my parents, but took a meal to eat instead of eating what they were having - for a couple reasons ... They were having leftover brisket and making biscuits (I'm a biscuit fiend), and I have a subscription to Real Eats and needed to use up a meal before they start going bad.
I started yoga today and it went ok. I can see how it will be beneficial.
Stayed under my calorie goal.
Achieved my step goal, bands, and yoga (15min).
Reached my water goal.
5/18 - 252.2 I started physical therapy yesterday for plantar fasciitis. It went well and I'm counting that for my stretches/movement, so no yoga today. I'm hoping to get my heels back to normal so I can be more active.
I did make a couple of unwise food choices, but was able to stay under my calorie allowance.
Stayed under my calorie goal.
Achieved my step goal, bands, and physical therapy..
Reached my water goal.
5/19 - 252.2 Not a bad day yesterday, but it turned out to be long.
I stayed under my calorie allowance..
I completed my steps, and used the resistance bands, as well as doing my pt stretches at home. I completed my water goal.
5/20 - 252.0 I don't think I was very disciplined today. My 7mo was feverish overnight and we were up frequently. So I felt the tiredness creeping in today. I could tell my focus slipped some and being tired, I just wanted some comfort food. I ended up eating more roast and potatoes at my parents' than I should have, but it was tasty and I don't feel horrible about it. At Physical therapy today I rode the stationary bike for a bit and did lots of stretches and exercises. I'm not a fan of the "Toe Yoga" exercise, btw. Despite feeling unfocused -
Under calorie goal.
Achieved movement and step goal.
Finished my water goal.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/12 - Trying to increase water consumption in addition to counting calories. Feeling a tad overwhelmed by it all though right now, but I know that I want to fight through it and do my best.
5/13 – 256.3 lbs. – Disappointed in myself, I caved and got a soda to drink. Will try and better my ability to withstand cravings.
5/14 – 256.7
5/15 – Saturday – Will not be entered – Will update again Monday – 256.3
5/16 - Sunday - Will not be entered – Will update again Monday – 256.8
5/17 – 254.9 - The weekend was a struggle; my boyfriend does not understand my desire to track and monitor food intake. He wanted to eat out all weekend and snack on cookies and candies. When I did the grocery shopping, I went alone and he was upset that I didn't get him snacks while at the store. MC started on Sunday so I expect some weight fluctuations this week. Completely unmotivated this morning, and wanting to crawl into a bowl of ice cream.
5/18 – 255 - Weight fluctuated slightly as I expected. Proud of myself for meeting and surpassing my daily water intake goal. Drinking water is finally not as much of a struggle as it used to be for me. Surpassed my daily step count goal, which normally on Mondays is far below, because I am normally stuck at my desk all day. Did a simple stretching workout last night at home, and it made me really realize how truly out of shape I currently am. Planning on trying again tonight and hopefully, things will be a little easier.
5/19 – 255.4 – Feeling really blah and sick to my stomach yesterday and this morning so far. Hopefully, today gets better.
5/20 – Overslept and didn’t get to check weight this morning. – Didn’t get to feeling much better yesterday either, unfortunately. Tomorrow I have to send a weight update to my out-of-town doctor and crossing my fingers that he will be pleased with the little bit of progress I have made since I was in his office on the 22nd of last month and my weight at that time was 263 lbs.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/11 …..208.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/12 …..208.4 ….. I am feeling super-charged and inspired. I hope this feeling lasts all day. No…..I hope it lasts for as long as I need it to. For some reason, this feels like ground zero! Good luck everyone on this round.
05/13 …..207.4 ….. I tried a little Intermittent Fasting again yesterday. It went well during it but I did have a small glucose drop last night which I handled well. I will try again today. I’m a lady in training again, I suppose. Feeling good again today. I am seeing my doctor again in about a month. She said she needs to see a dramatic change or I’ll have to start taking insulin shots (which I am fighting). She took my fasting glucose (I was extra good the days prior knowing she would) was 513. My AIC was 13.8 . Things are not good here, but they are about to improve. I am working on my diet but also on my stress levels too. Stress has been through the roof!
05/14 …..207.4 ….. Day 2 on the IF and it went well. Later, my daughter and DGS #4 moved back in due to her home problems. Last time we had a pretty bad argument and she had left, I think we will both try harder this time. She is looking for a rental but in this rural area that is few and far between. I’ll support her in any way I can. I just hope my diet doesn’t go askew now that normal meals will be needed for her and the 3 ½ year old.
05/15 …..206.6 ….. Another good drop. No sleep last night. Literally, not one hour. Tried to nap today but still no sleep. Then I realized I accidentally took my thyroid pill before bed. That explains it. Well, I should sleep good tonight! Celebrating my birthday from the 10th tomorrow with my daughters. A ladies spa day. I’m looking forward to it.
05/16 …..206.6 ….. I thought it would be lower. I had a perfect eating day yesterday. No bad snacks too (which is my nighttime weakness). However, it was a lazy rest day otherwise with my daughter and DGS staying the night with friends. Not much movement but I needed the rest from no sleep the night before. Today we celebrate my belated birthday. Spa day and dinner out. I will be very careful to keep up the progress.
05/17 …..206.8 ….. After multiple days of celebrations this week, I am happy with this number. Back to IF today and good choices.
05/18 …..206.8 ….. Glad to be maintaining but would like to see a little progress. My daughter brought me home a butter pecan Gelato last night which I ate. I really didn’t want to hurt her feelings as she is very fragile right now with her situation. Also, it was very expensive for the amount you get. I ate it and enjoyed it, but tonight I will carefully have another talk with her if her mood is okay. It’s not just about weight. It’s about the diabetes too. I know she is just trying to be nice and to be grateful for my help. Perhaps she can take a walk with me instead. I truly would appreciate that more! Thankfully I had made a very low cal and low carb dinner so the scale was not negatively affected.
05/19 …..206.6 ….. No TMI today but still a small drop on the scale. I really focused on portion control yesterday and, of course, it helped. I would love to see the 205’s soon. I had that talk with my daughter. It is clear that she will bring home things for her and my DGS but she also understands and wants what is best for me. In the end, as said before, it is up to me what I poke in my pie hole. However, she promised not to bring specific things home just for me.
05/20 …..209.6 ….. Shocked! There goes all my progress this round! I made homemade chicken noodle soup and had a bowl for lunch and a bowl for a late dinner. That’s it. No snacks, no dairy. No TMI x 2 isn’t helping. Also two days of dinners with high sodium is suspected. Pushing water and not letting it get me down.
05/21 …..xxxxx …..

Thank you (and everyone else). We didn't have her long, but she was abused by owner's BF and dropped at the shelter for her protection (hopefully the lady got safe, too!) and we never knew her age. We thought she was maybe 7, but the vet said she was very old.
The hardest part is my dad. He has a love for black cats. His black cat, Hurricane, died 5 years (same day as her) ago and then we got Denali (the Duchess of the house). Originally, he went to the shelter to get a couple kittens. The workers said she NEVER interacted with anybody before but immediately came to him. I absolutely demanded he go back to get her when I found out she became depressed, wouldn't eat, etc after he left with the kittens and not her. I sent money to pay the adoption fees and such to force his hand and he brought her home. She's been attached to him since then and ALWAYS by his side. He's really struggling due to the timing and losing his two beloved black cats. We currently have 4 more black kitties (and 3 non-black kitties) and every single one has some type of medical issue that we care for and love, so that's helping him cope and not feel alone.
He told me yesterday our little shy kitty, Sirocco/Rocky (I call her Batface because her ears and eyes are shaped like a batman mask) curled up on his lap while he was watching TV just like Denali did. I think she knows he's hurting and wants to bring him comfort. It's the cutest, sweetest thing. I don't think there's anything in this world that would allow us to deserve that much devotion and love from pets, yet here they are loving us.
I have tattoo paw prints of all my past kitties on my left side. I'm now working with my mom and dad to design one for her as well. Once things open up a bit more and I can make an appointment (and save some money up), I'm going to get it to keep her on my side forever.7 -
Heaviest: 225
Ultimate goal weight: 130
05/11: 195.5 (not much change in my appearance so far, though I might seem to be, uh, deflating)
05/21 goal: 193.0
Day/Weight/Comment
05/12 - 195.0 (drizzly day; pulled 6 ticks off me yesterday, a new personal best/worst)
05/13 - 195.0 (weather looks promising; another hike through Tickland is scheduled for me and the dogs)
05/14 - 194.5 (another long hike scheduled for early afternoon; may try to take all 4 dogs, with 2 on long leads (give me patience); today I will remember my bug jacket, because the blackflies, though not yet biting, are flying around my face and it's annoying)
05/15 - 194.0 (sunny AND the weekend! More walking and gardening in my plans; also I don't recommend taking 4 dogs on a walk with 2 on long leads - DON'T DO IT - one was really ticked off and they kept getting tangled up; as well I forgot my bug jacket and had no free hands to swat flies away)
05/16 - 193.5 (hoping it'll clear up later; a long exploratory hike in the plans today; wish I knew more about eating wild plants; tried some goutweed (grown wild at an old collapsed house site) and it was nasty though it is supposed to be edible. Maybe it needs to be cooked.)
05/17 - 193.5 (the long hike was brilliant, a mostly grassy path winding through mixed forest; another 6 ticks on me, but I refuse to give up hiking the woods just because the tick population has exploded this year; just 2 months ago, a brisk 2-h hike would have killed me and I would have had to keep stopping to rest but now I can just keep on going so I know I'm making progress with my fitness. Of course it probably helps that I have 30 less pounds to haul around with me!)
05/18 - 193.5 (yard got checked out by a black bear last night, 6 and 1/2 hours ago, and the chihuahuas are STILL barking about it; probably will not get a woods walk in today because I have to go out)
05/19 - 193 FINALLY (a bit drizzly today but better than yesterday's thunderstorms; plan to go out on a long walk again. Oh, and 193 pounds is my official one-third-done day! Whoohoo! "Only" 13 pounds of obesity to go before I am "only" overweight! I am more determined than ever and believe that I am starting to see a difference in my appearance at last.)
05/20 - 193 again (took a long walk to the end of a woods trail and it ended in a clearing, much to my disappointment, not much further along down the road; debating whether or not to start the C25k now or wait until I weigh 180, which was my original plan)
05/21 -
There’s no time like the present time to start any type of plan Just start nice and slow, something is always better than nothing!4 -

05/12 -197.5 A loss for the day. I have been going gentle on my workouts but this morning I wasn’t as gentle on myself. I feel a small twinge.
05/13 -197.9
05/14 -197.8
05/15 -197.4
05/16 -199.8
05/17 -199.4 Back to the gym this week after 14 months! So much fun! I think my back is finally doing well.
05/18 -197.6 I did my planks this morning. My son was up all night crying about his itchy eyes. It’s hard have a child crying in your arms and your at a loss to comfort them. At one point he told we to stop putting the wet compress on him because it was not helping him. He passed out at 940p, back up at 11pm, again right before 4am. This year is a bad allergy season.
05/19 -196.8 Generally yesterday was a good day. I did succumb to a bit of birthday cake from one of co-workers but I made up for it with lots of exercise
05/20 -196.8 I had another sleepless night. So exhausted, have to pull out the AC tonight.

@quiltingjaine, Belated Happy Anniversary! When I was a teenager, I used to think, who could be married for 50 years? Lol. 8 more days, DH and I will be at 41years. So now my question is, How did I last this long?🤣
Anyway, bread. I have no real reason to give for my eating it. Just convenient to make a sandwich if there's lunchmeat around.. I don't buy much. Since the start of the pandemic, I relaxed on the bread for DH and DS's sake. I "punished" them for 3 years.😄 No bread except for an occasional pkg of croissants. (Now I want a croissant, lol) They ate bread but not at home. For the past 14 months, each month I've been buying a pkg of rolls for burgers or occasionally loaf whole grain bread, but I ask if they want it first.
Okay that's all. Lol. tmi5 -

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
May focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 150- 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.

Hope you are all well this Friday morning.
Round 150 saw me go from 84.5 kg (186.3 lbs) to 82.1 kg (181.0 lbs) losing 2.4 kg (5.3 lbs). Yay!
In total I've progressed maybe 75% of my planned weight loss journey. It's been fairly manageable so far, although I can see that I will never again be able to wing my way through a week without counting calories - my "instinct" about what's the right amount of food is just way off, particularly when it comes to snacks.
Anyway, on to round 151!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/12 132.4 – 11.33 miles walked yesterday,calories well in credit. Little DGS more stable; started to reduce fast flow oxygen to see how he reacts, started milk feeds again & talk of moving him out of IC to HDU, fingers crossed he continues to improve.
5/13 132.4 – 13.83 miles walked yesterday, mostly to and from my vaccination volunteering session. Calories well in credit. DGS back on HDU, fetched him off diuretics after he passed a litre of urine as they don't want him to lose too much fluid too quickly, but now he has started to swell up again, so restarted lower dose & started him on a little solid food too which bowels seem to be tolerating, all positive, but still a long way to go!
5/14 132.4 – 4.34 miles walked yesterday; another day taking older DGS out for the day, calories over.
5/15 133.2 – 10.88 miles walked yesterday, calories under goal.
5/16 133.2 - 9.09 miles walked yesterday, calories under but carbs over due to pizza night.
5/17 133.6 – travelled up to take DGS out for the day, weather not good, hence no structured walking leading to calories being over. I have my second vaccination this morning (hurray !) Next stage of roadmap back to normality today; 6 people allowed to meet up indoors, pubs, restaurants, cinemas, theatres all open indoors again.
5/18 133.6 – 14.77 miles walked yesterday, calories well under (570). No side effects whatsoever from 2nd vaccine yesterday. Back at our dance class last night, so good to start to get back to some sort of normality & see everyone again as well as enjoy a really good dance! Go out with sisters today for a pub lunch indoors & we can actually hug too in this latest step of the UK progressing forward from Covid!
5/19 133.2 – 9.96 miles walked yesterday before I met up with my sisters, we had a lovely time, food portions were very big, but I left the majority of the fries. Calories estimated to be just within limits!
5/ 133.2 – 13.72 miles walked yesterday, calories in credit, I'd like to get back to the round start weight tomorrow, but as taking DGS out today there will not be any structured walking, so ?
5/21 133.8 - As no structured walking 250 calories over. 1.4 pounds gained this week, must use next round to get that back off!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE . Keep calm – we're all in this together!
