11/14 202.4 Love my weekends but have to put structure back in them. Torpedoing my progress.
11/15 200.6 Working on how I handle stress. Daytime during work, intake is controlled by what I bring. Afterwards at home is when need to make a routine and weekends too. Going to make that first hour at home about ME and unwinding.
11/16 200.6 Finding it's easier to bend over while sitting down. Hmm, maybe there is less fat there.
11/17 200.0 That was a little later this am getting back on the scale. I keep thinking don't jinx yourself w/One_____ by thinking too much about it but it's ON MY MIND.
11/18 201.8 Discouraging. I'm going to stop overthinking this and focus on am gym, walk during day, eat same daily, double up on water, get extra sleep, and calorie count. Have fun & pass on stress. Strive for drama free. Have next week off work hallelujah.
11/19 202.0
11/20 202.8 I've really been feeling bad with myself about weight going in the wrong direction. Broke out my records and since starting last aug/sept, i've dropped 20 lbs. Lots of yoyoing over the years but am actually lower now than have been in years, so I'm going to look at the BIG picture, this is just a blip, and I will keep on with it. Keep away from anything processed as the Na bloating is instantaneous and bad for cardiac.
11/21 204.4 blah
11/22 202.6 And around I go.

I am about 8 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

Heaviest ever 1st Jan 2021, goal+31.8 kg


Round 204 812.5 cm

Here are my measurements, bolded numbers are drops by 0.5 cm from the previous round:

100.5 93.5 105.0 58.5 48.5 57.0 49.0 101.5 95.0 105.5 13th
100.5 93.5 103.0 57.5 48.0 57.0 48.0 101.5 95.0 103.5 14th
101.0 93.0 104.5 58.0 48.5 57.0 47.0 102.0 94.5 105.0 15th
101.0 93.5 104.5 58.5 48.5 57.5 48.0 101.5 94.5 105.5 16th
100.5 92.5 104.5 57.5 47.5 58.0 48.5 101.5 94.0 105.0 17th
101.0 92.0 104.0 58.5 48.5 57.5 49.0 102.0 93.5 104.5 18th
100.5 94.0 104.0 57.5 49.0 56.5 48.5 101.5 95.5 104.5 19th
100.0 93.0 103.5 59.0 48.0 57.5 47.5 101.0 94.5 104.0 20th
100.5 92.5 104.0 57.5 47.5 56.5 47.0 101.5 94.0 104.5 21st
101.0 92.0 103.5 57.5 48.0 57.0 48.0 102.0 93.5 104.0 22nd


Total is 802.5 cm, a loss from the previous round

How this round went: there are 20 bolded numbers in the above table so it went quite well. However the previous round I gained so it's probably just an emptying out, rather than true fat loss. Let's see how this new round goes.

Day/Weight/Comment

11/13 - 176.6
Good day yesterday, although I did have popcorn in the evening. Soup day today—now to decide what to try to fend off the cold of the season’s first snow.

11/14 - 177.6
Another snackfest late last night. What’s wrong with me? I know when I’m snarfing that I’m just sabotaging myself. Really need to get a grip.

11/15 - 178.2

11/16 - 177.6
Ok, that’s a little better.

11/17 - 177.4
Better, not perfect, snack resistance last night. Working on it!

11/18 - 177.4
Doesn’t look like I’ll make my weight goal for this round. I should know better than to set weight goals anyway. Behavioral goals are attainable and controllable. I can’t control the results, just the effort. If I end this round, and the year, a bit lower, all the better. So I’m working on the effort.

11/19 - 177.4
Holding for take off!

11/20 - 179.2
What??? I did have more starchy food than usual, but really? Obviously water, not fat. Oh, well. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow….

11/21 - 177.6
Ok, maybe my scale was having a fit yesterday! This isn’t where I’d hoped to be by now, but better than yesterday! We’re having a few warm(ish) days so I’m hoping to get some long walks in. I used to run the 5K Turkey Trot every year when we were in NC, but have lapsed the past 5 years. I need to get back at it. My exercise has really dropped off since Rory died. ☹️

11/22 - 177.8
Ok, it is what it is. I’m not even going to worry about it the next few days. We don’t have a huge holiday, but I’m going to enjoy what we have. Off to the vet with Mike the cat — his annual adventure. 🙀

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/13 / 168.2 / Started my day off with coffee and a walk with a friend. I've been craving a specific fast food burger so I stopped for one on the way home. Need to be careful about the rest of my day to stay within calories.
11/14 / 169.6 / Had ribs yesterday and then got the Sunday blues and ditched my exercise plans for early bedtime. Still trying to get my mind sorted. Made up for it today by completing my workouts and eating under my goal.
11/15 / 169.4 / Didn't sleep super well last night and had exercised hard last night so I focused on meeting my step goal today. Food was good and it was an alcohol free day as well. Hopefully tomorrow night I'll have energy to get back on the bike.

11/20 / 172.4 / Birthday celebrations for my Mom, binges, and general lack of control on my eating got me here. On the positive side, my workouts have been good the past couple of days. Tracking again today and looking forward. My maintenance range feels so close yet so far.
11/21 / 174 / Ate a ton of pizza last night, and here's where I am. Today was much better. I rode the Peloton for 60 minutes, walked, and ate on plan.
