My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

R156: Time to make some progress and strive for <200 in July! Quit this yo-yo cycle.
Exercise Goal for this round: Bike, planks, squats & hand weights at least once per week. Walk the dog 100 miles in July!
🎯Mini Goal: 204.x (Repeat until I hit it!)
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
7/11 205.4 Walk 2.75 miles, trimmed tree limbs, 1678 cal, 81 net carbs. Better start this round. No plans for travel or parties this time around so I have no excuses but to hit my mini goal.
7/12 204.9 Walk 2 miles, bike 10 min, plank, squats, hand weights, 1757 cal, 89 net carbs, AF.
7/13 205.2 Walk 3.8 + .7 + .4 miles, 1899 cal, 92 net carbs, 1 glass wine. Teeter tottering on the edge wishing to push downward.
7/14 207.0 Walked .9 + 1.75 miles, swimming, 1565 cal, 68 net carbs, AF. Hiking in Brazos State Park & swimming to entertain my daughter-in-law’s 5 yr old niece that is visiting. Came too close to an alligator! Wow that is a strange & disappointing jump up on the scale this morning! Could sweet potato fries do that much damage at lunch?
7/15 207.2 Walked 4.5 miles, bike 30 min, squats, hand weights, cal, net carbs, AF. Chili for lunch and Torchy’s for dinner. Walked the dog to my home owners’ assoc. local lap pool (heated during the winter) to see if my key card still works which was much further than I thought but a nice walk (better than jumping in the car!). It is still active so I guess I need to consider adding swimming laps to my routine. The dog & I were both exhausted walking in the heat but we beat the rain! Need to make a point to get out earlier in the morning.
7/16 207.4 Walk 2 + 1.3 miles, weeding/gardening, 2187 cal, 141 net carbs, AF (Neon Zebra margarita mocktail). Pizza for lunch & quesadillas for dinner. Need to clean up my meal planning.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/11 - 182 - Eventho I’ve had no weight change to speak of, my clothes are fitting looser.
7/12 - 182 - Maybe time to consider reducing calorie intake by 200 to see if it changes anything.
7/13 - 182 - Expected.
7/14 - 181 - Have to wait a few days to see if this is the start of a downward trend.
7/15 - 181 - Starting a new diet plan today - going to do it for 2 weeks (at least.)
7/16 - 180 - Nice to see movement on the scale.

End of 10 day challenge Goal: 245
Drink a minimum of 64 oz water a day
Swim, Circuit, Hike (5x minimum)
7/11 - 249.8 (+2.6) I had my weekly indulgence meal on Friday which should cause some weight gain, but I was a little surprised by this much. Finished a 3.7 mile hike this morning.
7/12 - 249.2 (+2.0) Slowly moving back down. 1 hour of circuit training scheduled for today. Staying focused.
7/13 - 247.6 (+.4) Finally, my weight is heading back down. Today, I’m headed to a pool to swim laps. I haven’t done this for many years, so I’m a bit nervous and don’t know quite how long I’ll be able to keep going. It’s a good test and hopefully a fun was to exercise that I can add to my routine.
7/14 - 245.6 (-1.6) Swimming laps was a challenge, but I did 22 laps in a 25 meter length pool. I felt great all afternoon Stomach a little upset today for some reason, so this weight might go up a little once things settle down.
7/15 - 245.8 (-1.2) Relaxed yesterday after not feeling very well. Planning another lap swim this afternoon. Hoping to improve my distance and form.
7/16 - 246.4 (-.8) I’m gaining more confidence in the pool. I can’t wait until I can do continuous laps. I gained a little weight today, but not too worried. It’s nice not to panic when an occasional blip happens. I know what I'm eating and how I'm exercising and it will start moving in the right direction.

Previous Day's Comments7/11 - Well, I tried to post yesterday but things were hectic and I still didn't get all my errands done. Oh well. I definitely need more water. This week at work was hectic as I was all over the place and didn't know whether to bring my water or not so I didn't (less to carry) and then ended up sticking around a different office with no water ): I don't even know who I'm shadowing this week for work so I'm not sure about my water intake going forward. The next 4 days will be hit and miss when it comes to posting. I'll do my best, but can't promise. I'm still weighing and aiming for good habits, though. I'll be back Friday, for sure, as it's my day off. HAVE A GREAT ROUND!
7/12 - DNP
7/13 - Pre-TOM bloat is hitting me hard today. Yesterday was more sitting than anything with online training to complete. Today, hopefully, will be a little bit more active. Feeling much less sleepy (though I hated my alarm going off) which is good. Yesterday was plain horrible how sleepy I was all day. Hopefully I can drink more water today. I tried yesterday but I was so tired I zoned out and didn't think about it. Leftover homemade shrimp alfredo for lunch. Meatball subs for dinner. Trying to make it a good day.
7/14 - TOM bloat and heaviness going down. Still working on getting more water. Been super challenging since I'm not stationary. BF Granddad died 2 days ago so yesterday he and the kids left. Be back (planning) Monday so its just me and the pup this weekend. Work today, off tomorrow to rest and relax. Need to go shopping for more veggie ideas for this weekend for me.

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.

7/12 116.0 Spent hours yesterday working on a challenge piece and giving my neck breaks. But I woke up with no headache! Logged my weight but “unable to connect to server 3 seconds later when I try to get to community! UGH! Finally!
7/13 115.5
7/14 113.5 Slept until after 8 so late weigh in. Didn’t eat or drink anything except water after 4 PM yesterday so 16 hour IF so far. Just sitting down with my coffee and to read the message board.
7/15 115.0
7/16 114.55 -
183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever - (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)
Round 156 Goals: 80oz water; row 30 mins, most days; free-weights; eat vegetables/fruit; IF most days; no sugar; Calorie/Carb cycle between 1000 to 2000 calories each day with an average between 1200 - 1500.
Previous days' posts:7/11 - 171.7 I'm not surprised at finally dropping to 171.X, it's been a long-time coming after bouncing around 172 to 174 for a while. This gives me hope that my wanting to hit the 160's this round may be possible but any loss will be a good loss.
7/12 - 171.7 Very glad to see that 171.x stuck around for 2 days!
7/13 - 171.5
7/14 - 171.1 You know how after so many weeks sticking with your plan and you're losing weight and you feel mentally and physically strong, and you say to yourself, this is it, I'm going to do it this time, and ever so slowly, you revert back to old habits and before you know it you're back up and playing catchup (and pissed at yourself, even though you try telling yourself it's okay, it's a journey, it's a lifestyle).
I'm at that really good place AGAIN - feeling strong mentally and physically - and I'm trying to keep in mind what derailed me in the past and keep focused. I just don't want to go through that song and dance anymore. I think what might be the difference this time is that I'm having health problems directly related to my weight gain and unhealthy habits. The other reason I might can do it this time is I am just so damn tired of it, I want to feel light on my feet when I hike, kayak, bike, etc., and I want to show myself I can do it.
And lastly, it's this forum and all of you. In the past, I would plan out on a calendar 3lbs X how many ever weeks, actually thinking I could or should lose 3lbs a week (setting myself up for failure). I also used to think one or two days of eating over my calorie limit was a failure and a reason to binge for weeks before getting back on it. My more realistic outlook and not jumping ship over a few extra calories is a direct result of all of you! I've learned so much and have been so inspired by all your daily posts and progress with weight loss, other goals, NSV's and your perseverance and positive attitudes. Thank you!
I will succeed and X months from now (or even if a year from now) I will be a healthier and happier me! Thanks for listening to my ramblings and letting me air them out here!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/10 …..197.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/11 …..197.6 ….. Same weight as yesterday. I was thrilled to get to 197 point anything but now it is hanging on too long and even fluctuating in a not so good way some days. Time to make some more real and lasting progress this round. Good luck everyone!
07/12 …..195.8 ….. The scale finally budged (and in the right direction!). Sometimes I forget that it takes it few days to see changes (both good and bad). Yesterday was a good day although water and movement was a bit insufficient. Meals were on target. I am going to run with the ball today and remember that every day matters. I have a lot of travel and social engagements that often derail me (most of us do!) I’ve got to allow these days that will be spent at or near home count!
07/13 …..195.2 ….. I ate very very late last night so I am only too happy to still see progress on the scale. The calories weren’t bad but the sodium was probably through the roof. Pushing water today!
07/14 …..196.0 ….. Up a bit from sodium for the last two nights. I’ve got to start choosing something that isn’t filled with salt when I get hungry. My weakness is sweets though and I’ve been avoiding that successfully. However, today is a short 25 mile road trip out of town to take my son and his new friend to the Dairy Queen. I will have lunch with them but I will try to choose wisely to allow for a bit of ice cream. I will also try to get in some yard walking and stair climbing in the house today. Workers will be here this afternoon so I can’t go far. Water…water…water. I am still down from the start of round and my trending weight continues to go down. I’ve got to get that BMI down though. I am still at over 32. Obese. A lot to work on during this long journey, but I’m up for the challenge.
07/15 …..196.8 ….. Drats! Dairy Queen is bad, Very Very Bad. I checked the nutritional labels last night (after the trip, why oh why not before?). Did you know that a medium turtle pecan Blizzard has 900 Calories???? OMGosh! So I had one single burger and the blizzard. The rest of the day was great. Over 10,000 steps. A short walk too. My calories in were still less than my calories burned but still a gain. I don’t always understand that. I will say no TMI x2 now and I know that water retention is always a contender too. We shall see what tomorrow brings. Today will be a redemption day. The good news, my trending weight is still going down.
07/16 …..195.6 ….. Goodbye Sodium and water retention. I expected this whoosh! I had a very low calorie day yesterday while staying thoughtful to carbs. It payed off.
07/17 …..xxxxx …..
07/18 …..xxxxx …..

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 a heavier weight, what difference does it make? So I’m going with the new readings, dammit.

Sat. nights seem to be craving/over eating time for me. Oh well. I just finished reading Burn: New Research Blows the Lid Off How We Really Burn Calories, Lose Weight, and Stay Healthy by Herman Pontzer, PhD. Pontzer is a Associate Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke University, Associate Research Professor of Global Health at the Duke Global Health Institute, and an internationally recognized researcher in human energetics (basically how we burn calories). I found it fascinating. (Full disclosure — my background is in cultural anthropology, so I lean that way!) Burn is not a “how to lose weight” book, but the science he discusses is certainly applicable to our mutual quests here. Some reviews complain that there’s “too much science,” and there is quite a bit of chemistry and physiology in one or two chapters, but Pontzer explains things clearly, and the scientific grounding is exactly what appeals to me. Anyway, I thought I’d mention it in case anyone might be interested. If you listen to podcasts you can also find quite a few interviews with Pontzer that boil down much of the info.
7/12 - 189 - 1625
Fresh peaches — yum! I made a peach galette yesterday, and plan to have a piece for lunch. 😁 The calories aren’t bad if not added onto a regular meal day. And the peaches are so good! I split a 25# Peach Truck box with a friend, so may need to freeze a few to keep them from going bad. Did I mention how good they are?
7/13 - 189 - 1683
Rainy days. At least the flowers and trees are getting a good watering!
7/14 - 189 - 1691
Well, I’m nothing if not consistent so far this round! I can’t seem to cut my calories back to where I want them/need them. Maybe I should try for smaller reductions each round until I’m down to ~1450. So I’ll aim for 1600 the rest of this round. Not so daunting.

12: 206.9 🥚It's been challenging for me to keep any kind of healthy routine with the kids home from school. Today is my day 1 to turn this around before any more time passes. My weight is up, but taking into consideration that I'm in my ovulation week this will likely drop quickly by the end of the round.
13: 204.6 🥚 Heading out the door for day 2 at the gym. Really happy with my how yesterday went with elliptical, IF, supplements, and 88oz of water. Could've done better on carbs, but had the meal planned/purchased before I decided to get back on track.
14: 204.9 🥚 Small uptick is almost certainly from water retention. My muscles are very sore today from two consecutive days at the gym after taking a few weeks off. I also did a full body facia blasting session last night. Today is a rest day from the gym and blasting.
15: 204.9 🥚 Still sticking to my healthy routine. By Sunday, I should see I significant drop.
16: 205.6 🥚 Rolled my left ankle pretty badly yesterday. It's bruised and swollen, but I can walk almost normally. Lots of ice, arnica, and ibuprofen. No gym for at least a couple of days. Had a few drinks with friends last night and a little bit of bar food. Not even worried about the gain. It'll be gone soon. Had a fun night, and that's the important part to me.

7/11--212.5 Went out for a hike yesterday and the puppy did great. Then hubby and I went out for lunch yesterday at a hamburger place we hadn't been to in a long time, and let's just say that my body isn't used to all that heavy food any more, but this morning I am feeling much better. Trainer day today.
7/12--212.0 High carb day yesterday and sore from yesterday's workout, so expect an uptick tomorrow. Will be taking it easy today, just a couple of walks with the dog.
7/13--213.1 There is the uptick I expected.
7/14--212.0 There goes the water weight from yesterday. Took the dog out for a long walk yesterday evening and just let the dog sniff most of the walk, it was so relaxing.
7/15--212.3 High carb day yesterday. Went to trainer this morning and had another tough workout.
7/16--212.7 Normal upswing from yesterday's workout and high carb day from 2 days ago. Going out to dinner tonight with my husband for the 1st time in about 1 1/2 years. We are going to one of our favorite restaurants that we had regularly gotten takeout from during the shutdown, but it is so much nicer to actually go out and eat, we can't wait.

7/15: 140.2 For the past week or so, when I ate over 1100 calories, I gained the next day. So I'm gonna stay under 1100 for the foreseeable future, except for special occasions. I have a birthday party to attend Saturday and a family reunion the next Saturday, so there will be some significant face stuffage then.
7/16: 140
I am afraid that eating under 1100 calories will probably be in my future too, as I'm already eating 1200, and I still have 40+ pounds to go! It makes it so much harder to balance your diet when you don't get many calories to play with! Hope eating 1100 works for you!2 -
