Day/Weight/Comment
01/06 …..194.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/07 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 191.9) Diet was about the same but I did get in some more housework type movement. Flooring is very close to being done. Today should be the final day. I worked on packing away Christmas items in some limited areas during the work. That calorie burn clearly made the difference today on the scale.
01/08 …..191.2 ….. Trend weight 191.9) Continued progress which I am grateful for. Again, I did not make any major dietary changes (I’ve been keeping it pretty good under the circumstances), but more movement as I continued to work on Christmas décor and replacing it back with my usual stuff. Floor is 95% done with only some minor work such as moulding replacement etc. to be done. Today my handyman will finish and then begin helping with the Christmas work. Two trees should come down today. I woke up STARVING. I am going to try to stick to some high protein choices and some healthy fat to fill up my belly.
01/09 …..192.2 ….. (Trend weight 191.9) Very nice well-planned meals yesterday. Binge on snacks last night. The uptick is my own fault. I’ll do better today.
01/10 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 192.1)A ton of company unexpected last night. Pizza for dinner. Huge leap on the scale. Pushing water today.
01/11 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 192.2) Strange. I ate the exact same food as the day before. Same breakfast, same lack of lunch and the same amount of pizza (leftovers) and this time I lost instead of gained. No difference in TMI and no difference in exercise. Hmph. I hope the leftovers don’t catch up to me and wreak havoc again! Dining room getting painted. He’s been working on it a couple of days. It’s looking good and may be completed by today. It’s another temporary project to update things until the full kitchen / diningroom reno.

Round 173 #️⃣1️⃣ (SW 253, FW 249)
Round 174
1/7- 249 The scale has been holding mostly steady over the holidays, so I would really like to break past my current rut and get to 247 at the end of ten days. I’m working on increasing my protein, fiber, and water intake.
1/8- 248 Yay for a drop! The in-laws are here for a week and watching Husband coach a lot of basketball, so I’m sitting on a lot of bleachers this week. Really making sure I stay under the calorie goal and especially fitting in the protein, I can tell it’s making a difference.
1/9 - 247.5 Another drop! 😆 l don’t have a lot to add from yesterday’s comments. It has been a nice, relaxing Sunday. Tomorrow I’m going to see some friends I haven’t seen in a year(ish) so I’m excited to see their reactions!
1/10 - 248.5
1/11 - 250 I’m stressed and 2nd gain is very disappointing. I was disappointed yesterday, I hadn’t expected a drop, but I wasn’t expecting a pound up. It was a busy day yesterday. The in-laws are STILL here, Husband had a basketball game about an hour away so I took a half-day off and we didn’t get dinner until 8:00. If I were alone I would’ve eaten out of town, grabbed a McDs cheeseburger, eaten earlier, and been below my calorie goal. But FIL refused that plan and we at Sub Sandwiches an hour later… so to cut this long complaining story short, I expected another gain, but I’m still pissed about it.

7: 204.4 Holding steady. I'm good with this. Pre-TOM weight gains haven't started, or they at least aren't showing up on the scale.
8: 203.8 Pleasantly surprised. Carbs, calories, water were all great yesterday. Just anticipating those little gains that used to be so normal for this time of the month.
9: 204.5 Calories and macros were good yesterday. Cramps today, so fairly certain this is pre-TOM weight. Will be gone in a couple days.
10: 204.6 Hormones. No worries. It'll be back down soon.
11: 204.5 Had a hard time falling asleep last night. Took kids to school and took a 3-hour nap when I got home. Weighed again after because I was curious...202.7. Makes me think the drop after TOM actually starts might be a significant one.

Round # 41 for me!
SW: 380.0 (5100 steps daily step goal, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out or junk food 6 days a week)
Day/Weight/Comment (previous day steps)
1/07 380.0 – 5158 steps.
1/08 382.0 – 5555 steps. Back on track today. Last 2 days have had the munchies and one day was a splurge day and splurged a little too much so I was not surprised by 2 pounds up. But that is ok, moving forward. Overall, I have doing great with sleep, water, steps, etc. I need to work on eating more veggies and less carbs. Not sure I will have a chance to check in tomorrow. Sundays are hectic. I do my ministry and religious meetings via zoom half of the day and errands the rest and before I know it Monday is here and time for work again.
Have a great weekend! Please stay safe and take the necessary precautions when going out and in public places.
1/09 381.0 – 5509 steps.
1/10 381.0 – 4366 steps.
1/11 381.0 – 5151 steps. I have been under calories, but my calories have not been clean, and I have been eating back too many step calories also. Work has been a trip so have been overindulging in wrong foods and not enough proteins and veggies. I always eat 2 fruits per day. So going forward, goal is to get in protein and veggies or eat more cleanly the rest of this round. The good thing is I have been maintaining, but too much of a good thing always ends up in a gain eventually!

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. 12 -

01/07 / 186.8 / First day of work for 2022 was today! Busy day... one week work weeks are the best
01/08 / 185.2 / Really had trouble sleeping overnight. Luckily today is low key so I can rest up more this morning as needed.
01/09 / 185.4 / Set a new 45 minute PR on the Peloton yesterday, finished up some leftover frozen appetizers from the holiday season, and watched some movies with the hubby. Also got out for my first outdoor walk of 2022... the weather is improving this week! Woo hoo!
01/10 / 184.8 / One of my intentions for 2022 is to use this new body I have in all sorts of fun ways. So, yesterday we went snowshoeing. It was a lot of fun and thank goodness the cold is breaking a bit here in Alberta. This morning I did my 100th Peloton ride live and got a shout out and that felt very encouraging to me. Proud of how far I've come and excited to keep moving forward.
01/11 / 184.6 / Hit my round goal - been feeling great, moving lots, and eating well. The nicer weather and the ability to be outside more comfortably for walks is a mood improver too. Work is busy so I think I'll enjoy the rest of the evening with my feet up.

I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting
program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), complete all 6 programmed strength training sessions during my 4 days off per week

Previous Posts1/7 WHEW what a welcome back to work. Critical care during Covid is just not ideal. Our unit is now 8 beds and we are staffed for 12, so we will pretty much be staffing the new unstaffed Covid icu that took our place. Buuut the move has changed my trek up the stairs from 7 flights to 11 and I’m always looking for excuses to take the stairs. Leftovers for lunch. Black bean soup, avocado, and seitan for dinner. Another workday tomorrow. Protein: 135
1/8 Work 2/2 and now I’m off for 2. Since we are not in our normal unit I was having to run up and down to pharmacy a lot to get medicines that weren’t stocked and so I got plenty of stair action in today. I always close my move ring at work but rarely my exercise but the stairs have fixed that. Leftover black bean soup for lunch, broccoli dal with tofu for dinner. Protein: 148
1/9 must have tweaked my back turning patients or something yesterday cause I am hurting today. Skipped out on deadlifts and just did some rows, rowing, and step ups instead. Also skipped out on the NBA game tonight because of how bad the Covid numbers are around here.. didn’t seem like a responsible thing to do with the surge and how many staff at the hospital are already out sick. I got talked into going into work an extra day tomorrow to be the lead, so my days off are cut short. Leftovers for lunch. Lentil, sweet potato, spinach soup and seitan for dinner. Protein: 131
1/10 workday 1/3. Not a bad start to 3 in a row. I walked a ton since we are split between multiple floors and I was helping everyone out. Leftover soup for lunch and a lentil harissa garbanzo bean soup and tofu for dinner. Protein: 132

Round 174 (106th for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.SW: 138

Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 138 – I need to take control again now. I have looked back over the last few years and this is a pattern, I don't do too bad over Christmas and then relax/go mad after New Year! So today is a new round and a new start, I need to get back at it & make each day count – easy to say, not so easy to execute!! 9.98 miles walked yesterday.
01/08 136.8 – thats better! Amazing what happens when I stick to plan, calories & macros well under & NO chocolate, not even a crumb; wouldn't even allow myself to enter the room where it is !!! Just need to stay consistent now for next 9 days. 10.21 miles walked yesterday.
01/09 137 – 9.07 miles walked yesterday. High carb day as Saturday is always pizza night in our house, but only 4 calories over & no chocolate. Today will be a challenge as we travel up to our DD to celebrate her birthday and I know birthday cake will be involved!! But I will keep it small.
01/10 137 – no walking or exercise yesterday, but a wonderful day with DD, DS & their families, good playing with little DGC. Not the best food choices ! Need to counteract today to try to prevent it showing on the scales tomorrow !
01/11 137 – 11.14 miles walked yesterday, good food choices, calories & all macros well in credit. My Fitbit is on it's way out - a few months ago the face cracked and now its only syncing & retaining a few activities. Luckily, it is counting my steps and mileage, but then not retaining it past midnight of that day, looks like I need to invest in a new one; I don't like change and see that the Charge HR is no longer available so it looks like I will be forced to have an updated model!
01/12 138 – 9.22 miles, a high carb & fat day yesterday, after walk went to my sisters new bungalow to help her decorate; 5 hours painting, up and down ladders. She provided lunch; cheese & biscuits followed by cake.

We put an offer in on a house on Saturday (with 8 acres! And a greenhouse! And a shop for BF!) AND YESTERDAY THEY SAID THEY WERE ACCEPTING OUR OFFER!
We SHOULD get paperwork today from their side. Once signed and submitted, we pay escrow/option fee and get under contract. They're hoping to close as soon as possible (and we aren't against it). Need to get under contract, complete inspections, and then move forward with the financial side of it.
Closing date, according to current contract, is no later than March 4th. If it closes in March, we have to pay mortgage and rent for April/May before our lease here is up. If in February, we pay March/April/May. That will be tight, but doable, I think. Only good thing to closing early? Gives us enough time to paint/update the house to fit our needs prior to moving stuff in AND gives us time to move in and clean the rental house in hopes of getting our deposit back (though not holding breath because the same company that didn't want to deal with veterans in buying the other house? Yeah, they're our rental agency... I trust them to find reasons not to give us deposit. We aren't the only ones who have had issues with them, plenty of non-veteran people dislike them for being horrible and greedy.)
Fingers crossed this goes through! I'm going to go run through my budget AGAIN (I just did yesterday hehehehe)
That's fantastic news !! I'm so pleased for you, keeping everything crossed that the process goes smoothly.6 -

Round 174
1/7- 249 The scale has been holding mostly steady over the holidays, so I would really like to break past my current rut and get to 247 at the end of ten days. I’m working on increasing my protein, fiber, and water intake.
1/8- 248 Yay for a drop! The in-laws are here for a week and watching Husband coach a lot of basketball, so I’m sitting on a lot of bleachers this week. Really making sure I stay under the calorie goal and especially fitting in the protein, I can tell it’s making a difference.
1/9 - 247.5 Another drop! 😆 l don’t have a lot to add from yesterday’s comments. It has been a nice, relaxing Sunday. Tomorrow I’m going to see some friends I haven’t seen in a year(ish) so I’m excited to see their reactions!
1/10 - 248.5
1/11 - 250 I’m stressed and 2nd gain is very disappointing. I was disappointed yesterday, I hadn’t expected a drop, but I wasn’t expecting a pound up. It was a busy day yesterday. The in-laws are STILL here, Husband had a basketball game about an hour away so I took a half-day off and we didn’t get dinner until 8:00. If I were alone I would’ve eaten out of town, grabbed a McDs cheeseburger, eaten earlier, and been below my calorie goal. But FIL refused that plan and we at Sub Sandwiches an hour later… so to cut this long complaining story short, I expected another gain, but I’m still pissed about it.

Hello round 174!
3rd round in a row (more before). Previous recent results -
R172 SW:104 EW:100.7 (⬇️3.3kg)
R173 SW:100.7 EW:101.4 (⬆️0.7kg)
R174 SW: 101.4 Goal: consistent <101. Go to gym twice (major problem as the gym is full of ppl these days even in generally down times)
01/07 - 100.2 🏋️♀️ (-1.2) I am not sure this happened. Was easy to keep it within calories yesterday but this can not be the result of a one time behaving. Epsecially not after the snacking in the few days before. But wil take it, need the encouragement right now.
01/08 - 100.1(-1.3) Finally empty at the gym yesterday. So went for a quick cardio + walking there and back which was refreshing at whooping -15 degrees. Still not sure why I didn't bounce but I will take it
01/09 - 100.0 (-1.4) Actually it was 99.95 but given the late weigh-in and the high chance for anomaly I didn't want to celebrate the milestone just yet.
01/10 - 100.0 (-1.4) Still rounding up. Trend line says <101 so if I don't mess this up till the end of the challenge I have at least a consistent <101 in place. Now need to see how I get to the gym with this Corona outbreak. Not easy to find low times and not sure if it is smart. But with the -18 and snow outside I don't have much alternatives.
01/11- 100.2 (-1.2) waiting for the wooosh. Yesterday was a snacking day so not surprising.
01/12 - 101.2 (-0.2) Must be salt and sedentry days. But I didn't really have that much salt I think. Is popcorn that much salty snack? Hope it is a glitch

R174: I’m just totally unfocused. I plan and execute meals wonderfully then sabotage my good efforts with poor choices in snacks. So this round … no more salty snacks or ice cream after lunch & dinner. AND no more picking up a Snickers when I grocery shop. If I break these bad habits I know that my weight will go down.
🎯Mini Goal: <205 (Repeat until I hit it!)
Exercise Goal for this round: Strength class 4x per week. Walk the dog 100 miles in Jan!
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
1/7 208.9 2021 cal (-507), 119 net carbs. Strength Training 1 hr. No walk Wednesday. Drove (round trip 2 hrs) to son’s home to deliver something they needed and of course stayed to visit with my new granddaughter. Meals were okay but snacking is still bad … especially since I snuck in a snickers when grocery shopping which is a bad habit I need to break!
1/8 209.7 Walked 1.2 + 1.1 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 1837 cal (-115), 137 net carbs, 1 glass wine. Really no explanation for the jump on the scale unless it is that I weighed in a couple of hours earlier … didn’t sleep. Snacking was reasonable. Wow yesterday just seemed to slip away from me … a little reading, too much computer time, dropped off old clothing to Women’s abuse shelter, groceries yet again and cooked double batch of jambalaya for family Sunday lunch.
1/9 211.6 No exercise. Drove (6 hr round trip) to New Braunfels for a day trip with DH which was fun attending the IPMS ModelFiesta show, shopping, lunch at GristMill in Gruene historic district on the Guadalupe River. Returning home stopped at my sisters for dinner which had tons of carbs (black beans & sausage w/ rice & cornbread). 2195 cal (-889), 215 net carbs, 1 beer at lunch + 1 wine at dinner.
1/10 210.9 Walked 2.5 miles, 1954 cal (-302), 202 net carbs, AF. All my kids got together to meet our new granddaughter today! Fun times. Jambalaya, salad, strawberries, pineapple and King Cake for lunch then just DH & I shared cheese & olives for dinner.
1/11 208.6 Walked .9 + .3 miles, Strength Training class 1 hr, 1874 cal (-251), 25 net carbs, 96oz water, AF. Grocery shopped AND followed my menu plan for the most part … switched out Wed & Mon menus but still I’m on point regarding the planning and executing. Now to get myself back into the green and not have negative red highlighted number under remaining calories! AND to get the scale going down consistently instead of these awful swings.
1/12 207.4 Walked 1.4 + 3 miles, Strength Training class 1 hr, 1714 cal (231 green!), 92 net carbs, 96+oz water again, AF. Nice chilly day exercising and relaxing reading The Maid by Nita Prose (highly recommend it). Evening alumnae meeting was a casual PJ and pizza party night after the chaos of the holidays. Proud to say I went comfy in my poodle pajama bottoms that now fit again!

1/7: 189 Eating was ok yesterday, but a bit higher calorie as I was finishing up some leftovers. Not much activity though.
1/8: 188.2 Food was pretty good but did have a couple drinks at the end of the day. Also still not getting much activity. Hopefully can work on that this weekend.
1/9: 188 Was hoping I’d have a bigger water weight whoosh at the beginning of this round, but it’s looking like I might already be in the slower moving phase. Oh well, I’m the only one responsible for where I’m at right now. Eating was alright yesterday, but still struggling on the activity front.
1/10: 188.8 Ugh no explanation for the uptick but hoping it’s just temporary. Made a yummy soup yesterday and got out to walk, despite the cold rain, to get over 9k steps.
1/11: 187.4 Was feeling munchy all day yesterday so was hard to stay on track. Did still manage to keep close to my calories though. Hoping for a good day today.
1/12: 186.2 Was not expecting this. Was over calories yesterday, though still under maintenance. Started stress eating in the afternoon, but managed to reign it in and avoid completely blowing the day. Feeling extra hungry this morning too, so we’ll see how today goes.

@CamandJarvis - The house sounds great with all the land! Getting excited for you!!! Some time before moving in gives you a lot less stress and you get to make decisions and start decorating. My daughter and her husband recently bought an old house (built in 1948) inside Houston. They had an overlap too so were able to stay in their condo while the house was prepped for the move. They had the entire interior repainted and they hired a handy man to go through the inspection list and repair everything which was great $ spent. They also had the fence replaced before moving in since they have 2 large golden doodles and needed to ensure they were safe. Make a check list of need vs want ... and budget in the needs. You'll be happy to have them out of the way. GOOD LUCK!! HAVE FUN! and ENJOY your new place!
My husband would love a workshop but we just don't have that much space though he has managed to build a fishing boat with 90hp motor in our garage ... yep one that even pulled the kids water skiing.11 -

It's 3 miles longer, but actually about 10-15 minutes faster according to GPS. The extra 3 miles is from the Ranch entrance to the house. I can get to the interstate quicker so less time on deer-busy roads that I'll need to take it extra slow (right now it's about 22 miles on backroads to get to the interstate. This one I'll only have 7 miles and a good chunk of that will be through town with less concern of deer)
I'm submitting escrow and option fee this morning after my meeting so we can get everything moving. The currently closing date is set for Feb 18th! So quiiiiick9 -

1/12 - 144.6 - Likely a dip because I only got in about 60oz water yesterday. I was absent-minded about it due to focusing on work, cooking dinner, and getting house paperwork completed. Whew. Even forgot to eat lunch! I did have a later breakfast, though, so it really counted as an early lunch for me I suppose. Leftover chicken&dumplings or stuffed pepper soup for lunch and I'm not sure of dinner yet. BF said he'd make something up from what we have in the house. Workout due today for NFJourney. All other habits good. Busy busy day, lots of work meetings. Will take a trip to the next town over to pay escrow and option fee today between meetings/over lunch.

Previous Day's Comments1/07 - Body is still holding on to some bloat, but I'm still dropping which I'm happy about. Today is rest day. I also have 2 doc appointments (1 in person women's health, 1 virtual) and apparently we are looking at a house this afternoon. Dinner was corned beef and cabbage chowder which I have plenty of leftovers for today. Between appointments and all, I may stop by the store to grab something for dinner tonight I can make.
1/08 - Not quite enough water, ate out (looking at house took longer than expected and we stopped to check out a local place in the area we didn't know about. It's super adorable, 100% want to visit again), and TMI not quite there. Today is air fryer wings for lunch (I may have a couple plain wings but eat more of that corned beef cabbage chowder). Dinner will be either stuffed pepper soup or homemade chicken and dumplings, depending on how BF work goes (he makes the chicken&dumplings). Workout due today but he has full schedule so I have time to procrastinate. Woke up suuuuuper early for no reason and feeling it so giving myself grace when it comes to energy levels. It's a rainy dreary morning here and quite chilly. Definitely taking this as my lazy day to relax and maybe read more of my book. Unfortunately it's an e-book, but I've had to sacrifice my paper books for sake of space. This house we looked at has built in shelving for books and I LOVE it. My current mini-library is full of mixed media. Some books in a series are paper while others I've had to contend with electronic versions. Drives me batty! (And yes, for those books I love, I'm THAT girl who will buy the paper copy of it even though I already bought the e-book of it. I always wanted a library!) Plus, paper copies are just so much more intimate for me. Mom (who is an author and the reason I'm a book nerd) thinks I'm crazy and has no idea where I get so many particularities with books from. It's not her, so long as it's a book, she's happy, regardless of the medium. Dad's not a book person. I'm also the girl who will very carefully read a paperback as to not crease the spine. And holy moly, do not dog ear or bend pages or write in them, I will LOSE IT. Unless I get secondhand books, of course. Then it's character teehee. Wish I had a secondhand book store here.
1/09 - Interesting. I feel less bloated and lighter today. I was excited to see what the scale said and, surprise surprise! An increase. I'm not worried about it, I'm just happy FEELING lighter, but I was shocked. Dinner this weekend was switched. Work allows Fam and BF some opportunity to get together so we had dinner there last night (smothered pork chops with rice and collard greens) and today we will head over for wings. I've got to get a list together to shop for at least 2 dinners this week and lunch for me. We will have chicken & dumplings and stuffed pepper soup during the week, but need 2 more dinners. Think I'll make myself taco salad for the week and if it's not enough, I'll take dinner leftovers (I mainly need something for tomorrow since I won't have leftovers from Fam)
1/10 - Water back up to normal. Food wasn't the greatest, but not the worst (wings and fries with leftovers for today. Added in some veggies for lunch as well). Tired this morning, for the first time in my life (that I wasn't horribly sick) that I remember, I slept through my alarms. I was so exhausted apparently. My final alarm was the absolutely latest I could wake up and be on time. I spent less time getting ready and gave myself a few minutes to do ground work (pushups, planks) for today's Nerd Fitness workout. I have lunges and rows to knock out at work. Thinking of waiting until the after lunch slump to do those to get my body moving and blood flowing. Hopefully it will keep me from dozing or zoning out. Dinner tonight is chicken & dumplings, BF is attempting to make my dumplings since I'm not home to do it. Leftover will be tomorrow's lunch.
1/11 - Leftover wings (plain) and added steamable veggies for lunch. Plus a banana as "dessert". Dinner was homemade chicken & dumplings. BF successfully made the dumplings! Go him! Water on track, too. Workout was completed during that after lunch slump and worked well. I'm back working from home today due to high covid positive numbers within the company (it's worse than the first round when noone quite knew what to do) and my work this week is all meetings so why go in? Today is leftover chicken & dumplings for lunch and I'll make my stuffed pepper soup for dinner.

Some time before moving in gives you a lot less stress and you get to make decisions and start decorating. My daughter and her husband recently bought an old house (built in 1948) inside Houston. They had an overlap too so were able to stay in their condo while the house was prepped for the move. They had the entire interior repainted and they hired a handy man to go through the inspection list and repair everything which was great $ spent. They also had the fence replaced before moving in since they have 2 large golden doodles and needed to ensure they were safe. Make a check list of need vs want ... and budget in the needs. You'll be happy to have them out of the way. GOOD LUCK!! HAVE FUN! and ENJOY your new place!
My husband would love a workshop but we just don't have that much space though he has managed to build a fishing boat with 90hp motor in our garage ... yep one that even pulled the kids water skiing.
That's so awesome!! Congrats to them!
We have a contractor as a good friend so we're going to enlist his help, too, on minor repairs. Most of it is just painting so we offered our friends beer and food to help us. They, of course, agreed! They're just so happy we've succeeded in getting an offer accepted, especially with this market. We discussed plans to update the fence. House is currently enclosed but gate is too close to garage to fit his truck and the gate itself pup can slip through. We've got a plan in place to remove the gate and still keep the pup in the fence (bonus, the current fence is taller than me! Harley can jump a standard chain link fence height so having this tall fence is DEFINITELY a huge improvement).
We've already started talking needs vs. wants vs budget. Paint and fence are high priority right now. Inspection is Tuesday so hopefully we can determine necessary repairs and work those into budget. EEK!9 -
@musicsax Thanks for the encouragement! My stress reached an overboiling point yesterday, but hopefully, I can keep everything under control until they leave on Saturday. Then life goes back to normal! 7

Round 173 #️⃣1️⃣ (SW 253, FW 249)
Round 174
1/7- 249 The scale has been holding mostly steady over the holidays, so I would really like to break past my current rut and get to 247 at the end of ten days. I’m working on increasing my protein, fiber, and water intake.
1/8- 248 Yay for a drop! The in-laws are here for a week and watching Husband coach a lot of basketball, so I’m sitting on a lot of bleachers this week. Really making sure I stay under the calorie goal and especially fitting in the protein, I can tell it’s making a difference.
1/9 - 247.5 Another drop! 😆 l don’t have a lot to add from yesterday’s comments. It has been a nice, relaxing Sunday. Tomorrow I’m going to see some friends I haven’t seen in a year(ish) so I’m excited to see their reactions!
1/10 - 248.5
1/11 - 250 I’m stressed and 2nd gain is very disappointing. I was disappointed yesterday, I hadn’t expected a drop, but I wasn’t expecting a pound up. It was a busy day yesterday. The in-laws are STILL here, Husband had a basketball game about an hour away so I took a half day off and we didn’t get dinner until 8:00. If I were alone I would’ve eaten out of town, grabbed a McDs cheeseburger, eaten earlier, and been below my calorie goal. But FIL refused that plan and we at Sub Sandwiches an hour later… so to cut this long complaining story short, I expected another gain, but I’m still pissed about it.
1/12 249.5 I’m back with a more positive attitude today! 🙂 I did some stress crying and some cuddles with Husband last night and I’m feeling better today. I stayed under my calories yesterday and I have all my meals planned out for today with room for a little snack if I need/want one. I’m doing some shopping after school so I’ll get some extra steps in today as well. I’d love for the scale to get to 247 by the end of this round, so I’m still working towards that goal.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/7 - 200.2 - My scale just knows when it's the end of the 10 day round and decides to go up that day apparently. It helps that I did 3 Peloton rides and a 1.25 mile walk between weigh ins and ate light yesterday. This is the round where I duck below 200 and stay there! I'm so so so close. Please let it happen!
1/8 - 200.6
1/9 - 201.7
1/10 - 203.3 - Not surprised by this. Mondays are always high because of low-impact rides. I also drank a lot of water this morning because I was extremely thirsty when I woke up. I do have to get back in control of eating, however. My losses have gone down to nearly 0 when my workouts have been consistent and burning 500+ calories.
1/11 - Did not weigh
1/12 - 206.1 - Yeah. I didn't even weigh yesterday because I didn't work out and felt bloated. First time since summer I didn't weigh in. Then today I worked out and weighed in at this. I don't know what it is but since I've been close to 200, I've just mentally not been as motivated as I was the entire 100 lbs before that. It's really frustrating. I have to re-focus and remember how far I've come and there's just a little more loss to go and then maintain for life. Come on!

I’m struggling with motivation to reach my daily goals.
So my research came up with these helpful ideas
1. trick yourself into feeling motivated by changing your behavior.
Consider what you’re wearing, how you’re thinking.
Act as if you feel motivated, and your actions may change your emotions.
2.Use the 10-Minute Rule
Giving yourself permission to quit after 10 minutes.
When you reach the 10-minute mark, ask yourself if you want to keep going or quit.
You’ll likely find that you have enough motivation to keep going.
So today, I’m dressing up and for cardio I'll be setting my 10” timer
💗 Karen
