12/18 -199.0- (Trend weight 198.2) Damn! A little travel yesterday to get to a big box store for some baking supplies. I haven’t even started baking yet! I have a birthday party today for my DGS turning 6. I won’t be able to take my medications yet once again. I love the season, but getting things back to normal in January will be a welcomed thing.
12/19 -197.0- (Trend weight 198.1) Goodbye bloat! I took my medication in spite of the party. Travel today for rehab again. Last minute Christmas shopping and grocery shopping for my baking and candy-making supplies. This is when things can really balloon so I’ve got to formulate a plan!

We're meeting up with our two sons and their significant others over Christmas. I can't wait. I still have wrapping to do and am feeling anxious about getting everything done in time. It's possible I'll make it back down to SW by Thursday. I'm cutting out alcohol until then and it's not a weekend.

@CamandJarvis I'm with you on the resolutions. I just continually try to improve during the year. Currently I'm in my 4th week this week of a 4-week Peloton M-W-F upper body weight program. I'm hoping to incorporate that into my weekly routine for 2023. I have no trouble getting in cardio and I have strong legs. My upper body needs to catch up and my core.3

@Skyleen75 It's definitely hard to post this time of year and when the numbers aren't what we want. My consolation is that I'm certain my numbers would be worse if it weren't for this group. I really appreciate this group.

@Machias1949 I'm glad you had the warmer dress and sorry you're getting sick. I'm hoping that you don't feel too bad on the flight and recover quickly. I'm from Florida too. We're in Virginia for a couple years and I SO miss the Florida weather. I don't even want to step outside to take out the trash!!

Oof, my upper body needs some serious work, too! There's a specific workout that I do (Dark Horse Rowing on youtube) where, within the workout, he'll call out "legs only" or "arms only" and the arms only portion is a KILLER. I need more of it, but whew in the moment I HATE it. Also I lost a lot of upper body when I had back surgery because I couldn't do a lot of the arm workouts I used to (Pushups, planks, etc). I can do planks again, but my core isn't strong enough (despite the workouts I do) to keep my back straight enough for pushups and I usually end up pinching my nerve. I can, however, do knee pushups without issue. I just need to tell myself that I don't have the same body I did back in the army and it's okay to do knee pushups instead of full ones because at least I'm doing them!6 -

12/15 - 127.2! Yeesh, gained a lot from all those travel meals and not being mindful.
12/16 - 125.6 I think, can't really remember what came after the 5 this morning. I've taken rest days the past two days. Slammed at work in the lead up to the holidays so have to fight to get exercise in today. We were supposed to go to my MIL's tomorrow for a week before Christmas, but my family is a little bit sick and it looks like there is going to be a snowstorm on the days we planned to travel home. Honestly at this point in my life, the greatest gift I can receive is cancelled plans, so I'm relieved to stay home. Plus I can save a couple of the vacation days I was going to take next week for the upcoming year! Really want to get some of this bloat/weight off so I can go swimsuit shopping next week and feel good.

12/19 - DNW. My willpower has fled the building. I've been baking and eating snacks all day and not worrying about it. Hoping I can rein it in for a few days here before vacation but also have learned a lot over the past few months about the ebbs and flows of weight loss, so I am not going to fret over a little gain.

12/13 - 177.6
It looks like I’m going to finish the year not much lower that I started it. I don’t know whether to be disappointed at not losing, or relieved that I’ve (re)lossed the 3 pounds I gained in the summer. A bit of both, I guess. This round ends on my birthday, and I’m determined to be below 177 by then, which is highly doable. Nighttime eating, or lack thereof, is the key, and I know that, so….
12/14 - 178
Calories were fine, so this is salt/water from salmon patties (which I make with eggs only, no bread). Dog training club holiday party tonight, so I’ll have to put my self-control hat on. Not even sure I’ll go, but if I do….
12/15 - 177.6
Well, that’s a surprise since I showed no self control at last night’s party. I suppose it will catch up with me tomorrow or Sat. It was fun, though!
12/16 - 178
Ok, there’s Wed night’s party. 🙂 All good.
12/17 - 178.2
Yep, that darn party pig out. But it’s fine. Other than a mince pie and maybe a piece of birthday cake, I’m not doing any pre-Christmas baking, so the damage through Dec shouldn’t be too bad.
12/18 - 178.2
Got the munchies last night—popcorn, then a small piece of cheese. Could have been worse, but could also be better. Oh, well. I’ve been staying up late reading, then getting up late. My goal this week is to go to sleep and get up earlier. We’ll see.
12/19 - 178
Inch by inch, ounce by ounce…. Clearly not going to make my below-170 end-of-year goal. Oh, well. I’m healthy, and had a very stressful year with my pup’s terrible fears and then losing him, with lots of stress eating, so I’m glad I haven’t gained a bunch. Hoping 2023 will be a lot better.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

12/13 125.5 Ate Mexican for OMAD. Made stupid choices. I’m blaming stress. I am stressed because DH won’t ask for help when he should and, quite honestly, I’m tired of worrying about him doing something stupid that messes up his healing.
12/14 125.5 awake at 1:30. Thought it was time to get up but went back to bed and back to sleep. Woke up again at 4:25 decided to stay up but then change my mind went back to bed and slept until 7:02.
12/15 125.0 slept well, I think, I feel as if I never move. According to the Fitbit I m moving all night. BBQ (Jessie Rae’s) last night for dinner.
12/16 126.0 busy days all this week, glad it’s almost over. Took DH for post op follow up, went to Sam’s Club for a couple of items and lunch - hot dog in bun, haven’t had one of those in a long time- my eye doctor appt, had left over brisket for dinner then made 2 kinds of shortbread for “appetizer and dessert” party this afternoon. DGD#2 officially gets her Masters this afternoon and we’ll watch via YouTube streaming. DH has PT assessment and I need my nails done - so will call neighbor’s manicurist to she if she can do that in the time I have available. Manicures are something I have previously done on extremely rare occasions in the past but have decided I “deserve” after these months of “chauffeur” duty. I’m looking forward to the do nothing weekend.
12/17 125.0 Finally getting a mani this afternoon. Going to Great Greek after. Giving them the shortbreads that are left so they aren’t here to tempt us. We didn’t go to the community Christmas dinner on Thursday night since we weren’t sure how DH would be feeling by ticket deadline but it was all carbs (Italian) so I really didn’t want to go. I went to the Arts and Crafts appetizer and dessert “potluck” but had eaten brisket before I went so didn’t eat there. I had cauliflower and Brussels sprouts for “dinner.”
12/18 125.0 Got mani, ate at Great Greek, took remaining shortbreads to them so I’m not faced with temptation!
12/19 125.0 I can’t complain-this WAS my original ultimate goal weight. We met fam at BBQ last night. I ate Brisket and 2 tater tots.5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
12/13 / 174.6 / I came home from work last night to a feast and I had nibbles here and there throughout the night that added up. I did get my walk yesterday at lunch but my steps were still a bit low. Planning to do better today!
12/14 / 175 / My husband got to return early from his business trip. Hooray! I had a good day today.
12/15 / 174.6
12/16 / 174.6 / I'll take this weight two days in a row so I don't have to see 175 again! My last full work week for 2022 is now behind me. Tonight after work we had a nice dinner out and went and saw some Christmas lights.
12/17 / 176.2 / Plans today include cleaning, shoveling the snow, and football. Oh, and a Peloton ride too!
12/18 / 176 / Chose a hard Peloton class yesterday and it felt good. I also did a lot of cleaning around the house so my exercise was where I wanted it to be. Food is still not disciplined in the way it will need to be to start turning things around.
12/19 / 176.2 / Can't say I really nailed it on any front today. Two more work days left for 2022! My husband has been doing holiday baking, lots of goodies around now...

Round 208 goal: To lose a pound.
Round 208 starting weight: 175.5 lb.
12/13: 175.5 lb.
I started heavier resistance training and ate at calorie limit.
12/14: 175.7 lb
I visited a friend and they made a whole platter of food for my visit so it was hard to turn down. I tried my best to estimate the calories afterwards but I may have even exceeded maintenance. I will not dwell on it too much but it does remind me how difficult it can be to calorie count and maintain a social life.
12/15: 175.3 lb
Stayed within my calorie target and exercised. All good.
12/16: 174.8 lb
I was consistent again - ate within calorie target and exercised.
12/17: 174.6 lb
Went out for dinner but I planned out the calories and stuck to it. Followed a YouTube resistance exercise video too.
12/18: 175.3 lb
We hosted guests last night and my eating went very wrong. The guests bought lollies. I haven't had any lollies for months! It set me off in a downward spiral into over eating.
12/19: 174.6 lb
Got back into it. Stayed within calorie limit and exercised.
12/20: 173.9 lb
Enjoyed an outing with the family that involved lots of walking but was tempted by garlic bread and desserts. I managed to not give in and stayed on track with calories. I may have been be a bit dehydrated when I weighed in.

I do agree absolutely that being accountable here and continuing to weigh and log during this upward slide is keeping it from getting worse.5 -

Start MAINTENANCE and TONING to remain hopefully between 117-119 LBS and continue to tone waist to be 27” - Fully understanding I am heading towards a roadblock better known as the “cruise ship buffet from Hell” just walking by it ensures an extra 1 pound a day.. This is why I prefer to fly to a destination-as the tiny package of cookies and cup of coffee, the airline’s offer, guarantees a “forced diet” for everyone on board.
I brought back from Penn. the flu-hoping I can convince my doctor to give me something without going to see her. I have 6 days to get well for Christmas.

/no logging/ Here is the story folks… I have been preoccupied with my final days in the office for 2022. DW and I drive away tomorrow for a 6 week trip. When I get back in 2023, I go from being the boss for 22 years, to being a very part time employee/consultant to the company. Some people call it retirement. It’s sinking in after avoiding thinking about it.…
TMI perhaps, but I get to have a prostate surgery when I return. (I promise not to talk about that all the time)
I handle stress with food in my cake hole. I have been hovering at 10 pounds over what I want to weigh, without even giving a crap.
I have high hopes of some redirecting in the coming weeks. I need to at least log my food, but maybe I should find room for the bathroom scale in the car somewhere. This is important because my standard practice for this annual trip is to eat between snacks to tide me over til supper. The good news is I will be a lot more active than I have been recently.
I am thankful for this group, because even if I don’t get to post every day, I know you all are “looking over my shoulder.”
That is all.

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.10 -
@_JeffreyD_ wow, I just saw your update from December 15th! What an exciting upcoming time. Happy semi-retirement! I'm sorry you have to kick it off with prostate surgery, and feel free to talk about it here. It's a safe space! Just random unsolicited advice from someone who travels a bit, so feel free to ignore- you might consider trying intermittent fasting during your travels to cut down on snacking. I've found it pretty convenient to eat fewer times per day when I'm on the road! On the days I skip eating until, say, 3 or 4 PM, then I don't worry too much about what I'm having for dinner. Unless the point of the trip is trying a bunch of delicious food of course! I'm going to Puerto Rico in a week and have no intention of fasting 4

12/15 - 127.2! Yeesh, gained a lot from all those travel meals and not being mindful.
12/16 - 125.6 I think, can't really remember what came after the 5 this morning. I've taken rest days the past two days. Slammed at work in the lead up to the holidays so have to fight to get exercise in today. We were supposed to go to my MIL's tomorrow for a week before Christmas, but my family is a little bit sick and it looks like there is going to be a snowstorm on the days we planned to travel home. Honestly at this point in my life, the greatest gift I can receive is cancelled plans, so I'm relieved to stay home. Plus I can save a couple of the vacation days I was going to take next week for the upcoming year! Really want to get some of this bloat/weight off so I can go swimsuit shopping next week and feel good.

12/19 - DNW. My willpower has fled the building. I've been baking and eating snacks all day and not worrying about it. Hoping I can rein it in for a few days here before vacation but also have learned a lot over the past few months about the ebbs and flows of weight loss, so I am not going to fret over a little gain.
12/20 - 122.4! I am truly shocked that I haven't gained real weight through my complete lack of discipline over the past...while. It gives me hope that I will be able to maintain through just IF and exercise without tracking every bite. My only goal through the end of January is to ultimately maintain, even if I gain a little bit in the interim. Then I may try to lose a little more to find my true goal weight, who knows. I'm still not sure what "done" looks like for me. It's a little anti-climactic to feel this way, but here I am.

12/20 - 164.3 - I have no idea. I tracked everything yesterday and was over cals by 50 but still in deficit according to MFP. I'm at the point I believe my body is fighting to maintain and especially gain every single ounce it can.... Rather than use MFP remaining calories, I'll log here, allow it to sync with Fitbit, and use my Fitbit to determine remaining calories. MFP is set to a 500 calorie deficit but Fitbit is showing only 200 or so calorie deficit simultaneously (I should still be losing, which I'm gaining instead, but there's no way I'm only burning 1200-1500 calories a day... My RMR is higher than that!). Fitbit does use my actual activity levels and such to determine my calorie burn (usually around 2000, if I manage to get off my butt through the day or I work out) while MFP seems to be guessing based on my weight (and by my estimate, MFP has me burning 2300-2500 calories a day for my 500 cal deficit to be so high). I don't know what else to do besides to survive off of bone broth (at which point, I'm absolutely convinced my body will still find a way to gain....Plus, unless doing it for fasting purposes, is quite disordered thinking. If I did so, it would be with fasting in mind and I'd slowly build my body up to that point). Going to keep on going, though, and if it continues, I'll see the doc because something is definitely wrong medically. I do plan on fasting as long as possible today, though. I haven't been very good about that and I really need to refocus.

Previous Day's Comments12/13 - DNP
12/14 - I officially have a new "highest weight ever".... not happy. I will say, we went out for Thai food (hello sodium) for dinner and I'm SORE. Like waddling instead of walking sore. Hoping this is simply water from soreness and sodium. I did do my best to track, but it's hard with restaurant food. Especially mom&pop shops since some chain restaurants have nutrition facts available. It was delicious though! BF doesn't like the soupy curry but I LOVE curry (soupy, not soupy, doesn't matter. I want curry!) so it was exciting for me to indulge in that. Today is another workout day but BF had an early work call during my normal workout time so I'll have to squeeze it in through the day. I believe it'll be something similar to Monday's which was 4 rounds of 30 seconds each: pushups, squats, lunges, deadbugs, and good mornings. I'm going to knock out round 1 after I post, one around lunch, one this afternoon during my after-lunch-slump to wake me up, and one before dinner. Nice and spaced out to give my poor sore muscles recovery time and not be so intimidating mentally. I love that it's a group challenge, too, so I can see the "experience" points increase for myself, but also overall and know that I'm not alone in this journey, even if I can't physically see others doing it. It's kind of like this group -- I can't see you doing anything, but I don't feel alone when I hop on to catch up and read posts. All the challenges, struggles, wins, and exciting victories!
12/15 - Okay, back down we go. Hoping to keep this downward movement going. Completed yesterday's NF group challenge workout. It was jogging/walking intervals. Only 6 of them, in 3 sets (2x 60 jog, 120 sec walk, 2x 90 sec jog, 90 sec walk, and 2x 120 sec jog, 60 sec walk). Today is a rest day and tomorrow the next workout will unlock. We can choose to do the workout on either of the 2 days as nothing unlocks today. This week I chose to do unlock day as those fell on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while the "rest" days will then fall on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Weekends are usually so spontaneous, it's hard for me to guarantee time for a dedicated workout. Also, I've been logging my meals the best I can so I plan to keep that up, even if I have to guesstimate, through the weekend to help keep me mindful about what goes into my mouth. Also, lots and lots of water!

12/19 - This weekend was very hectic and I'm very exhausted. I'm quite happy to be down since Thursday's weight despite the weekend madness. I woke up, despite the tiredness, to knock out 10 minute interval on the rower. I'm taking a short break and then I have my NerdFitness workout that opened yesterday (we have 48 hours to complete). I set that up so it will, once again, be a Monday-Wednesday-Friday workout. Today's is upper body mobility so more stretching than workout, hence the addition of the more intense rower workout. Including today's NF workout, there are 6 to go. So I'll be done with them by New Years and hopefully have a bit of a habit established just in time for New Year Resolutions! (not that I really do them... I always fail so I try to just set little mini goals throughout the year instead).

Day/Weight/Comment
12/13 - 177.6
It looks like I’m going to finish the year not much lower that I started it. I don’t know whether to be disappointed at not losing, or relieved that I’ve (re)lossed the 3 pounds I gained in the summer. A bit of both, I guess. This round ends on my birthday, and I’m determined to be below 177 by then, which is highly doable. Nighttime eating, or lack thereof, is the key, and I know that, so….
12/14 - 178
Calories were fine, so this is salt/water from salmon patties (which I make with eggs only, no bread). Dog training club holiday party tonight, so I’ll have to put my self-control hat on. Not even sure I’ll go, but if I do….
12/15 - 177.6
Well, that’s a surprise since I showed no self control at last night’s party. I suppose it will catch up with me tomorrow or Sat. It was fun, though!
12/16 - 178
Ok, there’s Wed night’s party. 🙂 All good.
12/17 - 178.2
Yep, that darn party pig out. But it’s fine. Other than a mince pie and maybe a piece of birthday cake, I’m not doing any pre-Christmas baking, so the damage through Dec shouldn’t be too bad.
12/18 - 178.2
Got the munchies last night—popcorn, then a small piece of cheese. Could have been worse, but could also be better. Oh, well. I’ve been staying up late reading, then getting up late. My goal this week is to go to sleep and get up earlier. We’ll see.
12/19 - 178
Inch by inch, ounce by ounce…. Clearly not going to make my below-170 end-of-year goal. Oh, well. I’m healthy, and had a very stressful year with my pup’s terrible fears and then losing him, with lots of stress eating, so I’m glad I haven’t gained a bunch. Hoping 2023 will be a lot better.
12/20 - 178.2
I expect to hover here until after Christmas, and that’s ok. The big storm is expected to roll in here Thurs evening, so I’m off to do a few last-minute things. Stay warm, everyone!

12/20: 145.2 - I was surprised that my weight was down this morning. The Peloton bike and upper body weight workouts must have helped because I was SOOOO hungry at lunch yesterday and just kept eating. It was mostly nutritious food except for 2 Lindor 60% dark chocolate truffles. Because of that I wasn't that hungry at dinner so it was easy to stick to the the one very delicious crab cake and salad, and I made sure not to snack after dinner. If I had followed my old habits though I would have gone crazy snacking after dinner because I'd already messed up the day. I did have another one of those Lindor truffles for dessert. Maybe, just maybe, I can get back down to (or below) my SW by Thursday.

12/20 -198.6- (Trend weight 198.2) Yesterday was horrid. My blood pressure dropped way too low at rehab. I had to stay an extra two hours to see if I would need to go through emergency. Exercise was so much easier when I was younger and healthier. I could choose what I wanted. Dieting was so much easier before diabetes and heart started dictating my foods. I hope everyone who still has choices and opportunities will grab them. This is why I am sharing. Starting to get a bad cold this morning too. Don’t worry, I should feel much better after more coffee. (They are even trying to take THAT away from me! Boo Hoo!)
