    @deepwoodslady Did you actually READ all of that paperwork? The home health nurse came yesterday with a stack (not even kidding) of things for DH to sign. He stopped at the 2nd one because Medicare limits home health to those who don’t leave the house except for church or medical. The nurse said it was okay to go out to eat and do other things but her company says “no casinos or malls.” THAT is a violation of Medicare policy so they are, essentially, defrauding the government. DH refused to sign and the appointment was done. So frustrating!

    @pezhed So sorry for the “bug” going around. DGGS got one at day care and now our DD has tonsillitis and an ear infection. She got a shot of antibiotics and oral ones. Do take care! 🙏

    @SheilaBoneham I would love to see any finished portraits you can share when finished!

    Well, since you asked…here are some of my favorites. 😊 The yellow Lab and second blue merle Aussie are colored pencil, the rest watercolor.

    12/8 / 170.8 / Two Christmas events for work today - a Christmas lunch and a Christmas party. Chose a salad at lunch and at supper I kept my drinks reasonable. Lost track of nibbles but didn't go crazy. We bowled and I'll reach 10K steps.

    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!

    64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 207 (my 139th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.

    Goal for this round, same as last, is to lose a pound.. No binges, keep within calories & macros.

    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. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

    12/2 135.4 – 4.77 miles. A loss of 0.2 pounds – it's a loss!!

    SW: 136
    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/3 136 – 4.03 miles walked.
    12/4 136 – 3.36 miles walked around an advent trail with DGC, the very slow steps holding 18 month old hand whilst she walked didn't actually count the steps, but at that pace I'm barely burning any calories anyway & the experience & delight was much more enriching !!!
    12/5 135.4 – back to end of last round weight. 14.68 miles walked, it was cold: 4 degrees C, but brisk walking kept us just about ok !!
    12/6 135.4 – 9.62 miles walked.
    12/7 135.8 – 7.46 miles walked.
    12/8 134 – lovely woosh !! 11.75 miles walked yesterday. WW trial ceased, it has given me a boost and refocused my mind, back to counting calories from today, would like to lose another pound or so before the big day.
    12/9 134 – 10.13 miles walked. Pleased this number stuck, but a challenging weekend ahead: caravan club Christmas weekend, festivities start tonight!
    exercise.png

    12/10 133 - amazed and pleased at this number, first evening of festivities I stayed strong; had a late lunch/early evening meal and then 1 mince pie and a glass of mulled wine, and a pear. After I got into bed felt really hungry, nauseous in fact, but mind over matter and twisted getting up to eat. See what today brings!! Managed 5 mile walk before we hitched up and left home.
    12/11. 137 - so there it is the Christmas festivities, 4 pounds !! And I though I was quite restrained, but when you're not in charge of food preparation and everything is richer than you normally do, parsnips glazed in honey & roast potatoes in goose fat when I usually dry roast both, butter & milk in mashed potatoes etc. & several adult beverages. It is what it is, today I'm back to my usual eating, but I did enjoy last night. Also no structured walking.
    12/12 136.4 – starting to go down, today: push water, get back to walking ( might be slower than normal with our current snow and ice!), have a text book food day. Overall a pound increase from the end of last round, The next is the lead up to the main festivity days, lets get back down a pound or two in readiness.
    I'M WORTH IT !!

    ﾑﾍThis is NOT A DIET. It’s a PERMANENT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE?￰ﾟﾑﾍ

    I’m Amanda - 37 years old, 5’2”
    R207 SW: 121.6
    R207 GW: 120.6! 🤞🏻 This is my last round of full participation for the year so hopefully I can make it a good one. Traveling to my MIL’s during R208 and to Puerto Rico during R209.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/3 - 121.2! Surprised to see a loss today after overindulging last night, but it may still catch up with me. We have more holiday festivities today but I’m going to be more cognizant of what I’m putting in my body. Hoping to get some sort of workout in this morning. I have a cleaner coming later this morning to help me clean up part of the basement. It’s generally the cat’s side of the basement but I’m going to also make it my home gym space. I have the Peloton treadmill arriving Wednesday so I will end up putting my bike and treadmill and eventually my weights there. I’m excited to have my own little space but embarrassed by the amount of cat vomit I’ve let linger down there 😳 Hopefully spending time there will make me more proactive about cleaning up. It’s so easy to ignore when just passing through.
    12/4 - 121.8
    12/5 - 123.4 - Whoops, overdid it during the weekend per usual. Hopefully some of this is water. It's nice to be at a point where bad choices don't put me above 125, though! I like those weird little milestones.
    12/6 - 122.2. Had a very well-behaved day yesterday and plan to stay the course today, so hopefully I can get back down to Saturday's weight soon. I lifted and walked yesterday. I'm hoping to find time for a Peloton ride today.
    12/7 - 121.6. Yesterday was pretty good. I didn't get all the exercise I wanted to but I did a 30-minute Peloton ride. Today is primarily strength training, BUT my Peloton Treadmill is arriving at some point today so I may need to take it for a spin :) I got my little workout corner of the basement set up and the bike moved over, away from the wood stove and into the cold. Next I need to get a weight rack for our dumbbells!
    12/8 - 121.0. My treadmill arrived yesterday with no power cord :( I tried other cords that seemed to fit with no luck. Such a bummer. They're sending me a new one in 5-10 business days and giving me a month of my membership for free, but I really just want my tread to work!

    12/9 - 121.2. Had my husband's work holiday party last night. I fasted all day beforehand and did a 45-minute Peloton ride and I'm pretty sure I still overdid it, especially with drinks. On days I fast that long I don't really track my intake. Thankfully I fell asleep at 9:30 with my 3-year-old before I could do any more damage. Have to recover today. Planning to lift today at least. We're having my husband's 40th birthday party on Sunday so I'm going to try to bake a carrot cake during work breaks.

    12/10 - 122.6
    12/11 - 122.4 - headed the wrong direction the past couple days overall. Definitely not going to make my round goal weight but that’s okay. I prepared/am preparing a bunch of snacks for DH’s birthday party this afternoon, but both of my kids have pretty gnarly coughs. We were planning to keep it outside but I’m wondering if it’s a better idea to cancel it altogether. The youngest threw up in his crib last night too, I think from all the drainage but still. Not trying to spread anything around. I’m also supposed to travel for work tomorrow and have something important to take care of. I am sick of everyone getting sick. DH just had a cold for a couple weeks so I suppose it’s our turn. Yesterday I was hoping it was just the cold, damp air stirring things up.
    I did have a NSV yesterday! I found some size 4 shorts that I’d bought the last time I lost weight. I pulled them on yesterday and they buttoned right up! I’ll have them to wear in Puerto Rico in a few weeks!
    12/12 - 122.4. Had the party for my husband and didn’t gain so I’m calling it a victory even though I gained this round 🤦🏻‍♀️ The kids weren’t too sick and we kept the party entirely outdoors thanks to the Solo Stove I gave him for his bday. We gave people a heads up and let them decide for themselves. Only a couple families sat it out and we had a nice group. Now I’m on my way to NJ for a business trip after waking up at 4am. I’m resisting coffee temptation so I can stay masked in the airport 😴

    Great round everyone!

    @deepwoodslady Did you actually READ all of that paperwork? The home health nurse came yesterday with a stack (not even kidding) of things for DH to sign. He stopped at the 2nd one because Medicare limits home health to those who don’t leave the house except for church or medical. The nurse said it was okay to go out to eat and do other things but her company says “no casinos or malls.” THAT is a violation of Medicare policy so they are, essentially, defrauding the government. DH refused to sign and the appointment was done. So frustrating!

    @quiltingjaine Most of the paperwork was surveys or questions regarding health etc. so I did have to read it all to answer the questions. But I understand your frustration! That stinks.

    I didn't like some of the verbal comments during the orientation. If the icy roads are bad and you can't make it, you'll be dropped. If you are sick too often (even though you are here because of your poor health) you'll be dropped. If....you'll be dropped, If....you'll be dropped. I didn't feel very welcome!

    12/10 -198.4- (Trend weight 197.9)

    12/11 -198.2- (Trend weight 197.9) A good day for the most part yesterday but not much movement. 3 meals and a questionable snack. I spent most of the day wrapping presents and I’m not done yet. A friend visited for awhile. It was a quiet day. No TMI this morning. I will unexpectedly be traveling today if the roads are cleaned up from the snow. A package came in to a department store that I was hoping to pick up earlier in the week when I was at the dentist. So I hope to go get it, and do a little more shopping while in the medium sized city. I’ll be thoughtful for my choices for dinner. I need to get the numbers back down. The small drop today was appreciated but I’m feeling a little greedy.

    12/12 -198.2- (Trend weight 197) I’ll consider this weight a win since I traveled yesterday. I really watched my choices for sure. My lunch became 3 meals. 1/3 for lunch, 1/3 for dinner and 1/3 for my hungry garbage can. It seemed to be all I needed. Sadly I gained this round but I’m not too surprised. It has been a lot of travel and sitting. Traveling again today for my first “real” cardiac rehab. That should get me moving!

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
