    SW136.6
    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/23. 136.6 - no structured walking, my day for childminding 2 little DGS.
    12/24. 137.4 - oh dear, Christmas goodies and no walking showing up already!! Yesterday was a washout; heavy rain all day & preparation for the big day as well as nails and hair appointments.
    12/25 🎄 DNW - Happy Christmas everyone & hope all my friends across the pond are able to stay safe and warm with the massive storm you are having 🤞🙏. Came away for Christmas, brought our caravan up to a site close to DD, DS & their families, so concentrating on making sure I'd brought all the presents etc, that forgot to pack the scales!! I'll still try to keep restrained, but it is Christmas, so when I get home at the weekend I'll see the damage!!. Managed to fit a 5.5 mile walk in after we arrived & set up on site.
    12/26 - DNW - Had a wonderful day with family, all the little DGC were so excited and all presents loved. Managed 4 mile walked before rain came in the morning.
    12/27 DNW - boxing day at DS & family, managed 3 mile walk before and 4 on our return. Plenty more goodies! Sticking to 2 meals per day and trying only to pick in between!!
    12/28 DNW - just short of 9 miles walked yesterday to Hardwick Hall, had a coffee and walked back, didn't quite beat the rain, had a lazy reading afternoon.

    I’m late starting this challenge but hoping to tag onto your motivation and frienship. My last holiday guests just got on the plane. The house is quiet. It’s been a chaotic holiday season. I'm looking for a re-set. I'm not comfortable in my skin or in my clothes. I'm avoiding cameras. It's back to MFP. I badly need to de-sugar, de-junk, and get control back, get on plan. More veggies, more protein, more exercise, less empty calories.

    For anyone struggling with staying under calories but not losing, I want to share my story. For years and years, when I'm tracking, I've been eating low calorie breakfasts and lunches and saving most of my calories for dinner. And those breakfasts sometimes have been high in sugar (e.g. Toaster Strudel). I've been reading about nutrition and blood sugar levels and how our bodies need protein and fiber spread out during the day (not just at night), especially as we get older, to help us prevent muscle loss (with exercise/weights), plus more benefits. I have changed up my diet so that I'm getting in at least 25g protein and 5g fiber at every meal with a 7g/2g protein/fiber snack during the day and evened out my calories across meals (as much as possible). I feel better, I'm not getting that 2 p.m. tiredness, and my blood sugar levels have gone back down to the normal range (I've been teetering a little above normal range for a couple years). I go over my calorie limit sometimes but I still see good results when I do this. I'm not as hungry and for the most part I don't feel like I'm sacrificing. I changed MFP so that I can see the amount of protein and fiber intake. This is working for me when I stick to it. I just go off track sometimes. Old habits are hard to break. :tongue:

    Here are a couple resources for anyone interested.
    • The Whole Body Reset book - Not a diet, has lots of recipes and examples, and cites the research behind why you should make sure you get the necessary protein/fiber during the day.
    • https://drbeckyfitness.com/ - She has several helpful videos that explains how the body processes food, etc. I think she pushes the Keto diet and wants you to sign up for something. I'm not signing up and not doing Keto but I found several of her videos helpful.
