• In Maintenance since July 2019
• 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……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

March focus:
maintain weight < 145 (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!

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!

@coblujay Sorry for your loss of Bubba. Our fur babies are such an important part of our lives. (((Hugs)))

SW round 180: 157.9
GW round 180: < 157.9

3.8 - 157.9 Not much exercise yesterday. It was a busy day. Still struggling with jetlag and didn't get enough sleep last night. --Ate a lot this day, over by around 350 calories.
3.9 - 157.9 Went for 2.5 mile jog along the beach in the morning. Ate within calories.
3.10 - 157.9 Ate too much - got into some cookies. Had work to do, didn't get in any significant exercise. Felt tired and irritated most of the day.😒
3.11 - 159.2 Not happy about this jump, though I do know yesterday wasn't the best day. Also, I ate teriyaki salmon last night, and I usually post a gain after eating teriyaki. Went for a short jog this morning.
3.12 159.2
3.13 159.8 Really wasn't happy about this jump. Ate a delish falafel sandwich at a falafel restaurant the night before.
3.14 158.1 Yesterday - went for a 3.25 mile jog in the morning; ate within my calories.

Round 180 ( my 112th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

Need to knuckle down now and make each round count, DS's wedding is later this spring & I want to feel happy with myself on the day. Aim this round to be lower than the start, but a pound would be nice, concentrate on good food choices & think before I put anything in my mouth!! Also eat only half daily exercise calories back.

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 then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/8 138.4 – 14.19 miles walked, just a quarter of exercise calories eaten back. A good solid start yesterday, need to keep it up. Feeling happier with my actions.
3/9 137.8 – tentatively being pleased with this, if I can maintain this to the end of the round I will be well pleased ! But not relaxing! 9 miles walked yesterday, less than 50% of exercise calories eaten back, but carbs 60g over; lunch at DS's whilst helping her with wallpapering.
3/10 138.8 – are the scales playing with me? 10.56 miles, just over half calories eaten back, all macros in credit.
3/11 140 – 4.62 miles, met with DD ,& little DGS, went out to lunch.
3/12 138.8 - 6.82 miles, had to cut it short cuz of rain?. Away in our caravan for the weekend, more motivated this week; hence brought scales with me. Pleased to see the "disagree" button has disappeared, I think it was totally unnecessary and down hearting. Have a good weekend everyone.
3/13. 137.4 - 14.78 miles walked yesterday, all but 87 calories eaten back.
3/14 137.4 - 10.42 miles walked, all but 84 of exercise calories eaten back.

3/8 😬 182.8 - gotta start somewhere
3/9 😑 181.2 - very pleased but this is what happens all the time. I’ll give it a few days to see if it sticks. Being mindful of my eating & am closing my circles
3/10 😐 180.4 - must say I’m pleased with todays weight. Keeping up with mindful eating & closing my circles. I’m going to try a Zumba YouTube video today 💃🏼
3/11 🙂 180.2 -I’ll take it! Zumba kicked my butt but was a blast!! Now I have to remember not to let the weekend be my weak end
3/12 🤨 180.8 - Grrrrrr! I was so sure I’d break the 3 month yo-yo & hit 179.9. Ate mindfully but couldn’t get my activity in as I tweaked a calf muscle after work. I have 5 more days to hit my goal!!! I WILL DO IT!
3/13 ⏰ 180.4 - Better than yesterday. Weekends are always hard for me but I am staying on track better than in the past. I’ll take that for a win!!

3/14 182.4 😩😠😩😠😩 I shouldn’t be surprised since this is my life the last 3 months! I haven’t eaten over my calories. I’ve closed my circles 6/7 days. I get sooooo discouraged when this happens. I’ll look back on my past week & see if anything jumps out at me. UGH!! I tried so hard this round 😞

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Glad for a clean slate with this new 10-day. Going to try to quit cheating on you all. (don’t take it personally Ha!) If you are going to give me ten days, I want to be a better steward of them.

This is an odd up-tick. Yesterday was below calories without eating back any of my big exercise calorie burn. Oh well, the body does what it does.

OK. I have this figured out, at least partially. I have had a lot of input since Sunday, but no output to speak of. TMI

My food and exercise have been good. Obviously, my diet is missing some key elements.

Previous days

3/8 122 Happy to see this stick for another day in a row. I’m hoping to be down another pound by the end of this round or at least less than 122. Ran outside for the first time in over month this morning and it felt really good. I got 5.73 miles done in a nice steady 62 minutes. I didn’t want to push it too much because I have my 5 mile race coming up on Sunday. Planning to do strength tomorrow morning with cardio intervals afterwards. Had oatbran hot cereal again for breakfast with strawberries and a little of my protein drink added to it. I’m loving it right now and it’s so filling! Lunch will be turkey chorizo tacos and dinner will be chicken thighs with acorn squash. Happy Tuesday everyone!
3/9 122.8 Woke up with my watch feeling tighter this morning which also translated on the scale with the bump up too. Did my strength workout this morning and it felt good. I went up in my split squat another 10 pounds and my single leg Romanian dumbbell deadlifts bumped up from 25lbs in each hand to 27.5lbs. I’m enjoying the strength training a lot because it makes me care a little less about the water weight fluctuations because I know at least I’m getting stronger and the weight will slowly melt off in time.
Breakfast: oat bran hot cereal with protein shake and sliced strawberries. Lunch: leftover turkey chorizo tacos, Dinner: roasted chicken thighs with potatoes or carrots.
3/10 122.4 Did some cardio on the bike and elliptical this morning and planning to do a slow run this afternoon. I’m going out to dinner tonight for Thai with a colleague/mentor to catch up on life and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m planning to get their grilled marinated chicken with veggies, sticky rice and peanut sauce. Yumm!
Breakfast was the hot oat bran cereal with strawberries and some protein shake stirred into it plus the extra on the side. Lunch with be fiber gourmet crackers, kohlrabi, bell peppers and a cup of plain Skyr turned into a dip with some onion and garlic seasoning.
Happy Thursday!
3/11 123.4 preworkout 121.6 post workout. Got an hour of cardio in this morning on the elliptical and I’m going to take a rest day tomorrow to prepare for my 5 mile race on Sunday. Dinner last was fun and I didn’t over indulge too much. I ate half my meal and got Thai purple rice pudding for dessert. I felt a bit of water retention this morning but the cardio helped a lot with that as you can see the weight difference from pre and post workout. I had my usual oat bran hot cereal for breakfast, lunch was the Thai grilled chicken with broccoli and sticky rice and dinner will most likely be Trader Joes Paneer Tikka Masala. Happy Friday everyone!
3/12 Did not post or weigh.
3/13 Forgot to weigh. Completed my 5 mile road race today and beat my goal time I had set for myself, so I was super happy. I completed it in 43:56 which was 1:04 faster than goal. 😊 The race went well but the start was really chilly with a “real” feel of the low teens. Then afterwards my friend and I went out for brunch and I got two nice sized pancakes and had a slice of her breakfast pizza. Yumm! I’m not sure what dinner will be tonight but I’m looking forward to something a little lighter. Next on the race agenda will be a 10k in September in Salem, MA. 10k is definitely my max distance for races though. The 2 half marathons I did in the past were just too much on my body. I hope everyone has a good start to their week!

3/14 122.6 My body feels good today even after the intense run yesterday but I’m just really tired because I didn’t sleep well. I ended up going to the gym today and doing strength but instead of intervals afterwards I took it easy with the elliptical and kept my heart rate at an “easy run” blue level on my garmin watch for a half an hour. I hope everyone is adjusting okay with the clocks changing yesterday. I know it takes me a while to adjust.

I went a little crazy last night—cheese & triscuits, cinnamon toast. What? Oh, well, all in all I’m doing better with the snacks, so I won’t beat myself silly over this. Total calories were right around maintenance, so not too bad. But why, I ask myself, why?

3/09 - 178.4
I take it back. I’m not doing better with snacks, at least not last night. I think I’m going to take a close look at what I ate earlier on days I’ve gone crazy at night. I do know that carb-heavy dinners make me want more carbs later. Maybe there’s a really clear pattern I can make myself aware of. But, to paraphrase Scarlet, today’s another day, and I started with a healthy egg, cheese, & Canadian bacon on whole grain muffin breakfast. Much better than that arches place makes!

3/10 - 178
Still crazy after all these pounds, but drifting toward better.

3/11 - 179.6
Ok, time lag from 2&3 days ago. I was on track yesterday. If I stick to the plan, it will self correct. I have a low-cal, high-protein day planned. All good. Happy Friday!

3/12 - 181
What??? Whatever. Some of it must be H2O. I did have popcorn last night, but not THAT much! Very weird, very discouraging. Harumph. No hugs needed—I’m not upset, just bewildered. Anyway, the next 8 weeks will be very physical. I have Rory signed up for 6 classes (two levels of competition obedience, rally, scent work, agility, and run through for upcoming obedience trial, and I plan to get back to tracking training two days a week (lots of walking) plus regular long walks. And gardening season is coming right up. That should help!

3/13 - 179.6
Not great, but the right direction at least. Yesterday was very cold & windy, but I got out for a short walk. I also finished this commissioned watercolor (below)—so nice to be painting again! It’s been two years. 😕 It’s soup day (still on my soup-a-week routine, which is fun!). Today is Southwest corn and sweet potato, from the Moosewood low-fat cookbook. I’m adding chicken to up the protein. Looking forward to it.

3/14 - 179.2
💗 Thirty years? Thirty years! It’s our anniversary! We’ve had some adventures! I feel very lucky to have found a guy who supports whatever I want to do, from houses full of dogs and cats to writing and painting to building gardens and repainting the walls. I’ll try not to go too crazy, but do plan to enjoy a nice celebratory dinner!

My highest weight ever was 220 (May 2021) -I started Intermitting Fasting last year and went for 8 months but I never really focused on cleaning up my diet. This past Monday, March 7th I started a new meal plan that will allow me to eat clean and stay focused on my goals.

3/8 = 211.2 (down 1.6 from yesterday)

3/9 = 208.2 – I’m feeling really good this morning. I love that the scale is showing the water weight coming off!! I plan to hit the gym midday and do some cardio and light toning exercises.
3/10 = 208.4 – Yesterday was my largest meal consumption since I started this new meal plan. So, I’m not surprised to see a few ounces on the scale this morning. MyFitnessPal was very pleased with my food log from yesterday and told me that I could be down 20 pounds by the end of April if I followed that same eating menu!! That has me excited and I’m very happy knowing that my body is getting stronger and healthier!

3/11 = 208.2 – Again, I feel good today and I’m happy to see the 2 ounce drop. It lets me know that I’m still going in the right direction with my journey. It’s been so long since I’ve felt this good and focused on making each day the best day I can to take care of me! Tomorrow evening I have a Sip & Paint event for my sister’s birthday. I’m already planning ahead (which is key) so that I don’t sabotage all the great work I’ve done this week.

3/12 =Didn’t weigh myself

3/13 = Didn’t weigh myself

3/14 =208.8 – Happy Monday Everyone! So, I got on the scale this morning thinking “you know you had a few cocktails over the weekend, and you didn’t drink enough water”. Seeing that I'm up a few ounces this morning wasn’t a surprise to me. In fact, I was actually thinking that it would be a few pounds. The takeaway for me this morning is, Logging my menu choices and staying focused on keeping my body hydrated is so important. Even if I’m not at 100% discipline, those two key factors make a huge difference overall. Today I’m going to the gym and I plan to do at least 30 minutes of cardio and some light weights. Wishing everyone a healthy, productive week!

3/8- 186.6 NEW LOW! I spent a lot of time on my feet yesterday, so I was pleasantly surprised by this drop. 67 net carbs and step goal hit.

3/9- 185.6 I couldn’t be happier! I’m now comfortable saying I’ve broken my stall. 170s here I come! 85 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. Ready to make today amazing!

3/10- 184.8 47 net carbs and step goal hit. It’s so nice to sew downward movement again. I’m loving this!

3/11- 183.8 58 net carbs, steps hit, and Pelo ride done. Feeling really good this week!

3/12- 183.8 Seems the monthly hormonal shift is setting in. At least it seems more normal this time around than how it’s been during the stall! 73 net carbs and step goal hit. It’s snowing here today, so I’ll be spending some time in the kitchen making cheese. It’s the perfect snowy day activity!

3/13- 183.6 91 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. It’s a small step down, but it’s still a step down! I’ll be happy to hold right around here for the next week.

3/14- 183.6 67 net carbs and step goal hit. I’m okay with this number today.

3/11: 198.2 (+6.0) It was a whirlwind trip to Dallas, meeting up with several of my fellow artists to take an assemblage class. We had a wonderful time, drank lots of wine and a very salty margarita. I learned so much in the class and spent most days sitting working on my sculpture. It’s not done yet, but I love it. I’m guessing the salt played a big role in this gain, but it will work its way off over the next week and then I’ll be ready to get to a new low. Worth every calorie, laugh, chocolate and splatter of paint.
3/12: 197.4 (+5.2) I got home and spent some time with my eighteen year old cat, Bubba. He’s been struggling lately and I knew the time would come. A friend stayed with him at the house while I was out of town and he was so excited to see me. Later in the evening, he took a turn for the worse and it was time. I think he waited for me. So, I’m giving myself some grace and time. I’m going to miss that little guy. He was an amazing cat and had a long adventurous life. Tomorrow is the day I’m going to get back on track and back in my routine.
3/13: 197.8 (+5.6) Back on track today. My sister and I are going to take a long walk with the dogs. I’m hoping to be moving back down by the end of this challenge, although I don’t anticipate a new low weight.
3/14: 197.6 (+5.4) Yesterday was a good day and the weight should start dropping off this week. Tomorrow, I’ll get back to the pool after a week and a half away. Slowly, but surely…

I love being part of this community. Thank you for your kind words about Bubba. He was an amazing cat and loved to meet dogs. He knew just which ones would be receptive to his approach and he was a purrinator. His purrs were so loud they just bounced around the room. You are all such a support. Thank you!!
