@CamandJarvis, May I suggest to you not to eat corn? We (humans) lack the enzymes to break down corn. We cannot digest it.

Are you talking about cellulose?

tiabirdie56

Yes @chublet25. Cellulose, yes its fiber and for some people it doesn't seem to affect adversely. I'm talking about corn specifically.

Finished my c25k, all 9 weeks, and am now trying (slowly) to get faster at it, as my run times would be embarrassing, should I run a race. Short (1 h) woods walk also in the plans. Good times. See y'all in the next round!

I'm only on week 3 of mine (skipped W3D2 this morning) but if we were closer, I'd run with you! We could be slow together, but at least we can say we did it! Super proud of you!!! (Also, thanks for inspiring me to do C25K when I signed up for the race. I was going to wing it until I saw all your updates on it)

Awe, thanks. I did the c25k years ago and it was a lot easier then. I never had to repeat weeks, and by the time I finished, I was indeed running a 5k in about 30 minutes. But now that I'm nearly 66 years old it's a lot harder! I would love to have a running (I use the term loosely!) partner. I really don't want to come in last in the race. Our campus usually has a 5km race in the middle of October but I don't think that they've made up their minds about this year. If they decide to have it, and I can do it at a decent speed (and I have pretty low standards) I will sign up. That's always been my goal!

@chublet25 I've run a ton of races and there is always people at all paces and I've never done a race that didn't actually have walkers too. So don't worry about being last! You can usually go online and see a race's results from previous years too, which would give you a good idea of where your pace would fall compared to others. Congrats on finishing C25K!

8/6-- 209.6
8/7-- 208.6
8/8-- 207.6-- Yesterday's drop came from working in the yard Friday for four hours after I started a project that ended up being bigger than expected. And today's has got to be from the 50 thousand trips to the bathroom yesterday and the middle ot the night. I assume it was the PMS bloat (first of the month) letting loose or inflammation going down. Either way, I'm not complaining because today is eat out day and the drops are my motivaters to eat within my daily limits.
8/9-- 207.8-- Happy with this number seeing that I was motivated until I saw the ice cream

Round Loss: 2.6 lbs.

I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine.
• in Maintenance for over 2 years.
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily. People are still dying out there………
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

August focus:

• maintain weight < 150 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
• Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
Aims:

2021 Focus:

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

SW: 180.0
Challenge Goal: 173.5

Ended up last challenge over my starting weight. I know it’s just water retention, but it’s super frustrating nonetheless. I set my goal based on last challenge’s goal.

Adding my Happy Scale Trend because these fluctuations are messing with my head. The trend gives me a better view of my overall progress.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/1: 178.8, Trend 177.8
8/2: 178.4, Trend 177.9. Time to change things up. Upping my cardio and adding strength training.
8/3: 176.2, Trend 177.8
8/4: 175.0, Trend 177.7. Finally. Now will it bounce up again tomorrow?
8/5: 174.8, Trend 177.4
8/6: 174.2, Trend 176.8. Back to work tonight and all weekend. I expect my weight will do wonky things, but I’ll do my best.
8/7: 175.4, Trend 175.1. Drank only about a third of my water last night. 😔
8/8: 175.2, Trend 174.9
8/9: 174.6, Trend 174.7 Great workout today. I really hope to see the results tomorrow on the scale.

@deepwoodslady and @musicsax A new day begins at midnight, IMHO. 3AM would be a new day. If one was doing shift work that might change one’s outlook.

@quiltingjaine I usually start my day at my wake-up time and end it at sleep time when I am logging (bedtime to bedtime). However, I will do whatever makes most sense to those more experienced than me and whatever keeps me inspired. I really really hate when I eat after I've closed my day since I am usually close to my target on my macros when I close it out. However, many have said to add it to the next day so I will try that if and when it happens again. Midnight does sound like a good cut-off time. Thanks for the tip!

7/31 158.6 Today was another high stress day. Visited my Dad to celebrate his 92nd birthday. His actual birthday was on Thursday, but I was helping my son & his wife with their baby. My new Grandson, who was born on Monday night. They just got home from the hospital on Thursday. Momma had some complications & the doctors wanted to be sure their baby is okay. Dad was not having a good day. I don't know if this is just the way he is, now, or if he will improve any more. May be time for hospice...

Had 2 more very stressful events during this. And just really messed me up.
I know that my weight had gone up to the 160s during this round so I actually expected my weight to be much worse on that last weigh in, yesterday. I thought that I might have gained as much as 10 lbs so am actually happy with that final weight for now.
