1/04 - 163.9
1/05 - 165.5
1/06 - 165.4 - It's a drop. A small one, but it's there. Dinner was a bit over seasoned. Mainly with cayenne pepper, but probably salt that I couldn't taste over the spiciness. Also finally got TMI after a lack thereof yesterday. Hopefully that helps with tomorrow's weigh-in. I got in a loooong walk (for us, at least. 1.8 miles to mailbox and back) with pup between work ending and dinner prep yesterday evening. Today I woke up without an alarm (I had to factory reset my Fitbit and completely forgot to set alarms) about 9 minutes later than alarm would normally be set. I got in my FeelGood Plan workout and all my journaling. Feeling quite good today in that regard. The factory reset on the fitbit was to get hourly reminders to move (if I don't hit 250 steps every hour, it tells me I have 10 minutes left to do so and how many steps are left to hit the 250 minimum). I have it set up for 7am to 7pm Monday - Friday. Unfortunately I don't know a way to up the number of required steps so I guess 250 will have to do. It will still get me off my bum every hour which I need! Fasting again today. I made it 15 hours yesterday before I needed a handful of grapes to settle the beginnings of the nausea feeling. Slowly but surely my body is adjusting!

Previous Day's Comments1/02 - Had wings yesterday with Fam and I know that always brings an uptick. Oh and I hit my highest weight EVER on New Years Eve.... joy. Apologies for not posting much, MFP decided that my account had been deactivated whenever I'd try to come on to post. But it wasn't deactivated on my phone as I was able to log in, log food, update progress (measurements and weight). Finally got it sorted out, though. Happy New Year, everyone! I'm not one for resolutions so I simply have my Nerd Fitness Anti-Challenge/Anti-Resolution. Its a 5 day program to set us up to NOT fail like most resolutions. And we are only making "resolutions" we have plans for by the end of this mini challenge (plans meaning: what to do when life gets in the way and we'd normally quit). I also have my new planner which has a place to note daily what you're grateful for, your mood, your self care (yes or no: food, movement, sleep, water, nutrition/supplements/vitamins) daily affirmations, dream journals, ritual/mindful minutes (meditation, morning rituals/bedtime rituals, etc), scripting (I'm scripting my day ahead what I hope/imagine it will be. Speaking good things into existence), 3-6-9 manifestation (learning more about that still), and 1 thing I did to move forward that day. In addition, I'm conveniently over my sinus infection as of Saturday so yesterday I woke up, took all my measurements, and got ready to start my FeelGood Plan (book) work. Week 1 is mostly just paying attention -- journal about sleep (when I went to bed, when I turned lights off, when I woke up, how I felt.), food (when I ate, how I felt right before/during/after eating. Log the food to start to see patterns, etc), and begin the 15 minute workout (provided bodyweight 3x week, Mon/Wed/Fri and choose 15 minutes of activity Saturday to get me moving, even if its just walking). I'm up super early today (430am!) but I went to bed super early last night and listened to my body. Instead of forcing myself back to sleep and oversleeping, I woke up and and I'm doing my morning ritual. I decided what I'm grateful for, wrote my affirmation, completed my dream journal (didn't remember anything, but can note down FeelGood Plan stuff), check in here, and then off to work out! Then coffee once it brews so I can sip that while scripting out my day. It's a day off work (not for BF) so I'm running errands and making dinner. Sorry so long! A lot to catch up on!
1/03 - Yay, a drop! I was mindful through the day with food because I knew the meal BF requested was NOT pretty. (Chicken bacon ranch stromboli. From scratch). I'm rather surprised I dropped this much eating that. I did, however, make a decision to take the pup for a much needed after dinner/before dark walk. By the time I got back, I had determined I didn't want any of the cheesecake I made (BF, who hates sweets, loves cheesecake. But he had only ever had strawberry swirl, which I made last week (better than the store-bought he had previously Win!) So now I experimented with a peanut butter cheesecake). I got in my FeelGood plan workout plus Yoga for Flexibility yesterday morning, as well. The NF Anti-Challenge yesterday was to change ONE thing - route to work to pass by gym, pack a gym bag, put yoga mat front and center rather than hiding in closet, etc. Also, to write down "emergency" workouts for when life happens (travel, time, not feeling it, etc). Today I already completed morning portion of planner and Yoga for Flexibility as my "stretch" day for FeelGood Plan. Time to get to work, I suppose! Goal: get up and move more frequently during the day!
1/04 - Cheesecake taste test last night. BF was right, too sweet. No more of that. Walked pup 1.5 miles before dinner. Today I'm cooking so not sure I'll fit in walk. I did squeeze in my FeelGood Plan workout in despite turning my alarm off when I meant to hit snooze! I slept (and dreamt) an extra 21 minutes. Guess I needed it! No room for yoga due to that debacle, but tomorrow is stretch/rest day and I can make it up. Dinner is beef stroganoff using the leftover ground beef we have. Ate 1/3rd kale salad for lunch today (plus roasted sweet potato), 1/3 will accompany dinner and 1/3 saved for tomorrow.
1/05 - I have logged YET ANOTHER highest weight ever. I have no idea what's going on. I don't feel overly sore from my workout, I drank all my water (and then some), I logged all my food, even my little chocolate oopsie (I was at maintenance calories at most). Sodium? It isn't TOM, that I know. Went for evening walk with pup as BF was hungry early and we ate early enough to squeeze it in before dark. I got the most steps I've had since last summer! All the things and yet, I'm just increasing my "start weight" rather than decreasing my "lowest weight". Nothing I can do at this point but keep trying. Being upset is only going to make it harder so acceptance it is.

SW: 221.8
Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 221.8
1/3 220.3 (-1.5/-1.5) Not the best of days but better than previous as I have had no structure. I did plan meals for yesterday but got caught up in a snack frenzy toward the end of the day. I did manage to increase my water from 32 ounces on 1/2 to 80 ounces. I have planned my meals for today as well as targeting water at 80 ounces again.
1/4 219.9 (-0.4/-1.9)
1/5 218.8 (-1.1/-3.00) What a pleasant surprise. Expected a bump as we had leftovers from the weekend that were calorie rich! And I had bread and bread is not normally my friend.
Today's plan is a chicken and vegetable stir fry and again, lots and lots of water.
1/6 219.9 (+1.1/-1.90) Well that was short lived. I guess it took at day to catch up with me. Yesterday was a good day with the chicken and veggies so I should see a drop in the morning. 🤞🏽

I have noticed that on the nights that I'm extra hungry is all about not getting in enough protein/fiber earlier in the day.
@SheliaBoneham and @RockinRobyn672 I like the idea of the low sodium broth. I wonder how hard it would be (for protein) to make egg drop soup? Has anyone tried? I don't have a Chinese restaurant anywhere within 100 miles from me. I would love to know!
My friend has! She takes some of the seasonings (I think she adds ginger and something else) and makes almost a roux out of it. Then adds the broth with a little sesame oil. Separates the whites from the yolks. Whisks yolks, then adds to the hot broth before. Then immediately after (assuming broth is not a rolling boil and it's calm), slowly and gently spoons in the egg whites into it. Cooks until whites are cooked through and everything warm.
I would think the key for your goal would be to get the low-sodium broth hot enough to cook the eggs. And be sure to separate them and add them in as above to get the right consistency/egg drop soup feeling.
May not taste quiiiite the same without the extra stuff, but those do add calories. From there, you can adjust the seasonings and add-ins based on calorie needs and personal tastes.
@CamandJarvis Thank you so much! I am definitely going to try this!2 -

01/04 -198.8- (Trend weight 199.3)
01/05 -199.0- (Trend weight 199.2) A touch up but trend weight is down. I am required to eat breakfast before physical therapy (which is early) so I end up with 3 meals instead of two and a long day of eating at that. Luckily, the therapy itself burns a few calories. I also finished putting away the Christmas stuff when I got home, so lots of stairs to the basement. Therapy involves travel and lunch out, but I kept it simple and did not finish it bringing half home for my son. I am noticing that I just can’t eat as much as I used to. I’m often still filling my plate the old way, or ordering out the old way and it has changed to smaller portions. That is a win, my friends! That should yield some results in 2023. I think maybe I am paying more attention to my hunger and stopping when I'm full instead of automatically finishing? I don't know. I'm going to monitor this and try to figure it out. Now, I Just gotta deal with the every other day (and after travel) bloat days and not let them depress me and make me give up! I’m happy today with all my results after 3 days of travel.
01/06 -198.4- (Trend weight 199.2)My DD and DGS are here Thur – Sunday (until after 7:30 pm Sunday night) as usual. Dieting is tough through the week because of my cardiac travel (and other appts) and tough on weekends with her here as she is a tiny petite little foody who can get away with eating anything. I’ve got to stick to my guns for the weight and the T2D. My glucose numbers have been running rampant throughout the holidays. Time to get back into some form of control. I’m back down today lower than my start weight. Back (basically, depending on the day) to my pre-holiday weight. Time for progress!

@CamandJarvis Thank you so much! I am definitely going to try this!
@deepwoodslady Let me know how it goes and any tweaks! I might need to try this to help add in some extra protein. I'm also looking to buy little miso packets at the store (just add hot water type) and may add an egg or two like in the soup. I LOOOOOVE miso, but it's super high in sodium so I'll be balancing that.2 -

SW: 211.2 1/1/2023 Focus is on sugar and water intake for this round, less sugar and more water.
Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 210. This is a pleasant surprise. I did eat less sugar and I did drink more water. Now to do it again. I always start off well and within a few days I give in to emotional and stress eating. Need to keep myself busy.
1/3 210 I’m very happy that the number did not go up. I did watch my sugar and drank my water but probably had too much sodium. Also not much movement yesterday.
1/4 209.6. Another great day. I know the way this works but I always fail due to emotional eating. My biggest challenge has always been how to channel that into something else and control what I put in my mouth. Looking at planning food and activities one or two days at a time right now and not any further. I want it to become a new habit of better self care.
1/5 209.6 Stayed the same but that’s great. So far so good today, challenges all around but need to also focus on me.
1/6 210 I don’t know how that happened as I was under my calories for the day yesterday. I’ll just take it as a normal fluctuation.

1/02 - 178.4 💚
Yay me — just a nice hot cup of bouillon around 9 p.m. but no caloric snack. One day at a time, right?
1/03 - 178.6 💚
I really wanted a late-night snack last night, but stuck to the plan with a cup of warm, unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I’m feeling very virtuous. 😇
1/04 - 178.2 💚
Last night I really really wanted to eat something—I wasn’t hungry, but my mouth wanted it. I almost broke down, but had a cup of salt-free chicken bouillon instead, and was reasonably satisfied and happy that I didn’t cave in. I’m making a point of eating well breakfast-lunch-dinner, with plenty of protein and 350-400 calories. It seems to be helping. I haven’t been actually hungry at night the past three nights, just “mouth” hungry, if that makes sense. I love the 10-day goal setting in general, and in this case I think if I can not snack for ten days I’ll be on my way to breaking that terrible habit.
1/05 - 177.2 💚
Yes! Finally headed back in the right direction. And my no snacking venture seems to be working—last night I just had a can of plain seltzer; didn’t bother with my hot drink. I ate plenty at my three meals. I was a bit hungry by bedtime, but resisted. Feeling hopeful.
1/06 - 177.2 💚
I’m happy to say I’ve made it almost a week without nighttime snacking other than bouillon or hot almond milk. I also am getting more exercise with Booker, my new pup. Yesterday he ran his first baby track (following a scent trail) and did great. He’s a smart little cookie. I’ll be glad when he doesn’t need to go out every two hours all night, though! Thank goodness for afternoon naps. Here’s a pic my friend and training buddy took yesterday. I love how focused he is— 8 weeks old.

Hello everyone. I'm back, at least for a while. I didn't think I'd be absent for this long. 2022 was a very stressful year from beginning to end. New family illnesses and 2 sudden family deaths. I thank the Almighty for bringing me through it. HEALTHY NEW YEAR to all!

Hi all,
Hi all,
Merry Christmas to Eastern Orthodox members! I am thinking of Ukrainians and hoping they will find some joy and hope in their lives today.
Is it really Day 5? Yikes! This is the midpoint of our challenge. That seemed fast!
Nice to hear reports from everyone's life. I am pretty boring at the moment, which feels quite nice, considering how busy and crazy my normal life, which resumes on Monday, can be. I'm doing my taxes, since I never have time in the spring. Sigh. Love, love, love those government forms with all the little numbers and boxes. Thankfully, my paperwork was reasonably organized and I am getting to the end of this!
SW: 204
Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 204 (Wow. I gained five pounds over the holiday. It was a real shocker to see this number, although the fit of my pants should have provided a clue! Ate well today and exercised. Drank herb tea only after 7pm, which is a good strategy for me when I am trying to lose weight!)
1/3 202 (Two pounds were obviously water weight! Plan for today: Eat on plan and track. 30+ mins brisk walk. 2-5 min. cardio burst 4x during the day. Lower body strength training 40 mins.)
1/4 199 (?? Probably water weight and losing the carbs of the holiday from my gut? My muscles are slightly sore from weight training on Monday, so this will account for a pound or two as well, which might come off in the next few days? I’ll take it! Today, fewer carbs and more veggies. I ate a noodle bowl yesterday, which used up a lot of my day’s calories, but I felt a bit depleted and ate the carbs with great enjoyment!)
1/5 200 (Sore today, and it is showing on the scale. All good! My eating was really good yesterday, and I got good exercise. No snackig after 7:00, but I did have tortilla chips with one meal... blue corn chips are so delicious! My post-holiday detox, no alcohol, is so far problem-free.)
1/6 199 (Still quite sore, even after a rest day! Plan to work upper body today, in between trying to get my taxes done before school starts. Eating was good yesterday, and I stayed on plan, but tonight I may have to negotiate a restaurant meal. My strategy is to have a salad and lean protein, with no carb- or fat-laden extras. I may have a bite of someone’s dessert, but, for a person who grew up in an era where brewed coffee that had turned to creosote over many hours on the warming plate, tempered with--gag, cough, barf--powdered creamer, was the norm, a cappuccino really does feel like a treat!)

Finally getting my calories back under control after being careless about it over Christmas and New Year.
1/3: 176.4 lb
Exercised and stayed within calories.
1/4: 175.7 lb
All good again. I am exercising quite a bit. I think I need a rest day though because my body feels tired. That will make it harder to stay under calorie target.
1/5: 174.8 lb
Stayed within calories but it was hard because I didn't have any exercise calories. Drank lots of ginger tea and ate lots of celery with a cottage cheese dip to get by. Started TTOM which always gives me a big loss.
1/6: 175.3 lb
All good. No surprises that there was a bit of a bounce because of my recent losses the past few days.

SW: 170 pounds: Ultimate Goal weight 145 pounds
10 day goals:
GW for this round: 169--With consistency, I have been fluctuating between 172 and 167 for a few years now. I want my high weight to be below 170 for at least 3 consecutive days by the end of the challenge.
Goal 1: Cut down on the boozy days: Stay dry for 7 out of 10 days.
Goal 2: Increase water intake: Hit 70 oz per day for 8 out of 10 days.
Goal 3: Log my food 9 out of 10 days.
Goal 4: 20 minutes of movement separate from day to day activities. 8 out of 10 days.X
I want to focus on the things I can control and put less focus on the numbers, but I hope that I can be consistently out of the 170s for 3 days straight by the end of the challenge.
1/1 SW: 170.8
Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 AM Weigh-in 172.0--over a pound up since yesterday--I'll blame it on salty cravings yesterday-pickles, olives, and wonton soup. I also didn't hit the water goal, but yesterday was pre-game so it doesn't count toward this round's goals. I decided to add a movement goal because I have definitely been slacking in that area.
1/3 171.2 I met my daily goals yesterday. But, anticipation of going back to work kept me up all night and when I finally started drifting off my dog got sick. According to Fitbit I got less than 3 hours which isn’t like me. I never gave trouble sleeping and usually get a solid 7-8 hours a night. Getting through today is going to be tough.
1/4 169.8 even though I was exhausted yesterday—I put Holofit on freestyle and did my 20 minutes. I didn’t use a rower and it didn’t feel like a workout but I am sore today so it did something—I did the cycling which is just moving your arms for the freestyle mode—but i through in some dance steps for fun and I actually broke a sweat so im counting it. Still dry so far this year. You’d think I’d feel better because of it but I don’t feel any different. Maybe because of the sleepless night I had on Monday. I got almost 7 hours yesterday but mostly light sleep. My dog is having some intestinal issues and she was up a few times last night. I woke up to a run little gift to clean up in my bedroom this morning.
I’m a lot more prepared for eating today because I finally got to do some grocery shopping. No more holiday leftovers for lunch and dinner.
1/5 169.0 Skipped the movement yesterday but did good on all other fronts. My dog had me up again hours before my alarm. After taking her out 2 times it was too late to go back to sleep so I did a BOD stretch video. I feel so sore all over which is odd because I am not doing any intense workout. I think it might be a combination of sitting so much when I was on vacation last week, and not wearing sneakers. I need to get a new pair. I am either barefoot or wearing boots. All I know is that I am stiff all over and I feel achy and twisted up. . I need to stretch more. Yesterday I made a vegetable soup with some leftovers and it was delicious. Looking forward to having more of it for lunch tomorrow.
1/6 168.8 Forced myself to put on shoes yesterday and get on the rower after dinner. I realize the putting on my sneakers is the hardest part of making myself move. But once I put them on--as ripped up and uncomfortable as the are--it made it a lot easier to get on the rower. I rowed my way down the Charles river in Boston with my Holofit, but the occulus needed to be recharged so I did my 20 minutes and stopped. I probably could have rowed a bit more. That app makes me really enjoy the movement almost as much as if I was outdoors and traveling for real.
Today was a tough day. I actually slept through the night last night because my dog is starting to feel better, but my sleep didn't feel restful. I forgot my coat and my work bag and didn't realize it until I got to work. I felt frazzled all day. But it is Friday and I so far have 100% dry days so I think today might be a non-dry day for me. We shall see. I will try to hit my other targets first.
