    Welp, they cancelled schools for tomorrow and now updated the warning to 3/4 of an inch. The forecast now also shows a chance of freezing rain into Thursday morning which prior to that it was to end Wednesday morning. So if I drop off, let's just hope it's because I don't have internet and not because power is out or something. Downfall of being out in the country -- it takes longer to get power restored than it does when in the city. Also hoping our pipes don't freeze..... I don't have the financials to fix that stuff haha! Note to self: get stuff to insulate pipes prior to next winter.

    I am about 10 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 208 814.0 cm
    Round 209 807.5
    Round 210 802.5
    Round 211 800.0

    Here are my measurements, bolded means a 0.5 cm drop from the previous drop

    99.5 92.5 102.5 58.5 47.5 57.0 48.0 101.5 91.5 103.0 23rd
    100.0 92.0 102.0 57.5 47.5 56.5 47.5 102.0 93.5 103.5 24th
    101.5 92.5 103.0 57.5 47.5 57.5 47.0 102.5 94.0 103.5 25th
    101.0 91.5 101.5 58.0 46.0 57.0 47.0 102.0 93.0 102.5 27th
    101.5 91.0 102.0 57.5 47.5 57.5 47.0 101.5 93.0 103.0 28th


    Total is 797.5 cm, a loss from the previous round


    How this round went: I'm pleased that I've lost 4 rounds in a row, but it's too slow right now. I really need to speed things up.

    I was only thinking of you this morning, that I miss your great sense of humour and whether I could somehow get a message to ask how you are doing. I hope you are doing OK x.

    got care free in maintenance and the scale went up one lb at a time. Now I’m turning it around one lb at a time.

    2016- 245lbs
    2019- 142lbs
    9/12/22- 185lbs
    R211 EW 186.6

    1/22 188.8
    1/23 188.9
    1/24 185.8
    1/25 186.6
    1/26 184.6
    1/27 182.8
    1/28 181.0
    1/29 183.6
    1/30 183.8
    1/31 186.2 As expected the late meal got me. Combine that with afternoon snacks while waiting for a late meal. Also no workout as my schedule was just upside down. Three days without the gym and I dreamt about exercise last night.
    I had my yearly physical yesterday. I won’t have my blood results until next week but I suspect my cholesterol will be slightly higher than I want. I can’t take statins so my best course of action is through diet.
    In general not a bad round.

    1/30 - 162.4
    1/31 - 163.1 - No hugs needed. Uptick due to last minute change in dinner plans and alcohol inclusion (have y'all had Glühwein? German mulled wine? Its cozy and warm and definitely a once a year treat for me. I haven't had it since 2020 so it was a real treat on a cold night). I was on track for calories with no exercise cals eaten back. Cardio (read: rowing) workout done, 3 mins easy, 15 second sprint, repeat x4 and then easy row 2 mins to complete 15 minutes. I missed it but oh am I out of rowing shape, too. Guess a few months off will do that. Rest day tomorrow but double whammy Thursday with both bodyweight and cardio workouts (30 minutes. Will have to set my alarm a bit earlier). Anyway, happy to finish this round at low end of goal - 163.x. I'm looking forward to next round! See you there <3

    Previous Day's Comments
    1/22 - Headed out of town in a bit and there's a chance we won't come back until tomorrow (bringing work things to work on the road as a precaution) which also means no weigh in until Tuesday at the earliest. I wanted to let you all know I'm still alive. BF's dad and brother weren't so bad, though they all got a little silly Friday night and I went to bed with some loud sleepy music to drown out the loud talking/laughing. They left yesterday around noon and I spent the day putting my house/routine back in order. Pups are getting along now, for 3 mornings now they've taken to play fighting for hours as soon as I let them out after waking up. It's been an hour now and I can still hear them going at it. I'm glad, though. Harley still isn't sure about bed and couch sharing, but she's getting better. I'm working to get back into routine myself, but travel will postpone a little bit of that. For the most part, I stuck to my habits, though.
    1/23 - DNP
    1/24 - Not bad for not having weighed, tracked, and generally not checking in. Plus, TOM showed up on Saturday afternoon a little earlier than expected. And then travel, which not only lowers my water intake but also increases my eating out/unhealthy options. It's currently chilly, but a beautiful rainy morning. I did my workout to the sounds of rain on a metal roof. Journaled to the same sound. Just did a couple sun salutations under my porch overhang to thank Mother Nature for the rain as yesterday it was announced we were in a burn ban due to the dry conditions. I've taken to doing 3 iterations of sun salutation-forward fold-half fold-forward fold-sun salutation iterations a morning. It gets me focusing on my breath first thing, I always go to out on my back porch/deck (depending on weather) to get fresh air, and on clear days, I get a beautiful sunrise which always lifts my mood first thing. Despite missing my beautiful sunrise, it lifted my mood but that's due to the aforementioned dry conditions in the area being remedied. I went shopping and got myself the makings of a nice cobb salad I'll be able to munch on for at least 2 days this week, if not more. I also got the ingredients for making my own wontons/steamed dumplings which BF and I both like. Hoping this week will be a quick turnaround back into good habits after last week's upheaval. Also, it's good to be back here (: I've missed you all.
    1/25 - Oh I'm so proud of that number! I ended up making a GIANT cobb salad yesterday and BF decided to be a smarty pants and say "I hope that's not for dinner! It looks good, but too many green things" and so we had taco salad for dinner bahahahah! Today I did my workout, as planned, and am all caught up. Rest day tomorrow. Workout Friday, my day off, and then vet visit with Smoke for more shots and follow up on surgery. Hopefully cleared to bathe and walk! Harley is so mad for stopping our evening routine and bugs me every night. Sorry girl, I miss it, too. Cobb salad again today for lunch. I did eat breakfast but kept portions fairly small and hope dinner can stay small, but filling, as well to avoid eating back all my exercise calories. I have the last of the cobb salad for tomorrow and plenty of leftover veg for more salads! Hopefully I can eat it all before it goes bad.
    1/26 - I indulged in a small slice of my homemade strawberry swirl cheesecake (everything, including crust, is from scratch) after dinner. I was right at expected calories for Fitbit and under by 57 on MFP despite that splurge. It is lactose-heavy, though, so I'm not surprised at the little extra bloat, both visibly and on the scale. No workout today as I did 2 in a row already. Back at it tomorrow. Will be mindful about getting up and moving through the day, though. I have leftover cobb salad to finish up for lunch. Not sure dinner yet, but I should know by lunchtime and can adjust from there. Hoping to fast today and not need breakfast. Yesterday I was very nauseous and ate but hoping today I can push it a little further. Dinner was also later last night than it has been in a little while so I should be able to "tough it out" until lunch (and by "tough it out" I mean avoid the habit/boredom/mindless eating I'm used to while working. If I get nauseous or actually hungry, I'll eat)
    1/27 - Sodium? Uptick from the cheesecake 2 days ago? I have no idea why I'm up today. I was under calorie goal (estimate since I was working late and didn't see what BF put in dinner specifically. He told me, but I couldn't estimate measurements) and didn't eat back any of my very miniscule exercise calories. I woke up about 15 minutes before my alarm today so I've already knocked out my FeelGoodPlan workout. Debating if I want to attempt yoga with the pups finally settled down and back sleeping (it won't last). Already finished all my scripting and journaling once I hit post on this... Grocery shopping today as well as taking the pup to the vet. A lot of driving. Wish I could take the pup in with me into the grocery store. I'm a tad nervous using curbside pickup as I had a bad experience with them after I broke my back in Kansas. The produce they picked for me had a bunch of mold on it! And the milk was out of date. I've heard good things from friends about the store here so I'm hoping it works out. Now to make sure I have everything I need in my cart... eek! I guess this risk is better than driving the 40 minute (one way) trip into town twice!
    1/28 - Quite alright, no hugs needed. This is sodium and general foodbaby uptick from a delightful dinner out. We went out to our local hibachi place for dinner to get out of the house. I got a bento box with teriyaki steak, tempura veg and shrimp (why must it be fried? At least there's some extra protein and nutrients still there), and california roll. I also ensured to eat all my miso and salad before dinner to help fill me up before the calorie bomb showed up to the table. I didn't eat all of it and focused on the proteins and veg before allowing myself to indulge in the roll and (best in town) fried rice. Today we are headed to the big city to get BF a suit jacket. I'm tasked with matching it to his already-owned slacks and shirts. We'll likely be eating out while there as it's an hour to hour and a half drive depending on traffic. I'm feeling confident. Today is the first day I've felt neutral. I've been feeling fat/bloated/heavy since October before I gained back all the weight (and then some) I had previously lost in this challenge. It's a nice feeling and I want it to stay so I'm very motivated to keep that up.
    1/29 - So I made a mindful choice and then a splurge for lunch (more like "linner"). Was still full by dinner so skipped it which made up for everything. Today will be a challenge as I'll be hungry earlier and likely eat breakfast. I'm about to do a gentle morning yoga practice (it's raining and rain on a metal roof is beyond relaxing) to ensure SOME movement. No walking pups yesterday or today due to the wet cold conditions. Feeling good right now about my abilities to stay on track today.
    1/30 - No change, though the scale bounced around a bit before settling. I did splurge on some cheesecake last night but I had the calories and dinner was very small. I'm moving on to the next workout in the book today, a small step up. Monday, Thursday, and Friday I will do this slightly different 15 minute (one min each exercise) body weight workout. Then, on Tuesday and Thursday, I do cardio sprints, 3 min easy, 15 second sprint for 15 minutes. I have a stationary bike and my beloved rower to switch things up, though I'll likely stick to the rower. Thursdays the double whammy with both! I'm procrastinating it right now. Winter storm warning here and potential ice so I'm monitoring the school's site until the boy leaves to ensure it's not delayed or cancelled. They estimated potential of up to 1/4in ice this morning! It doesn't seem icy here by the house but doesn't mean it isn't elsewhere. Plus, I'm achy in all my injuries, as usual, when weather changes like this. It's hard to make myself workout when I'm achy though I know, in this situation, it's better if I do. Working out, typically, won't make this type of ache worse. In fact, sometimes it helps by loosening some of the stiffness and helping with reducing inflammation which eases pain in the long run. Doesn't make it an easy thing to start, though! Once I'm going, I'll get through, so here I go!

    Day/Weight/Comment
    1/22 Ate badly and I don't want to weigh in. Probably better for my mindset.
    1/23 Starting a 3 day cleanse. Probably will make it a 5 days cleanse. I really want results now.

    1/24 *refuse to check the scale*. I did great yesterday with tracking and stayin on plan and under calorie target. It felt freaking amazing ladies. I felt so proud of myself! And I was able to go to sleep without beating myself up over the food choices I had made. And I didn't go to bed so full I couldn't sleep. Those are just a few of the things I've been dealing with in my mind that have been holding me back. Now, to make that one PROUD day, a string of days - and to string them together and keep going.

    1/25 *DNW* Yesterday went very well. Ate under my calorie target and did not eat back any exercise calories. Instead of going on a walk last night at 5pm, I decided to clean my entire bedroom. The closet, under the bed and rearrange it all. Man, it felt SOOO good! My room looks amazing. I also polished my kitchen appliances (stainless steel) and put away stuff. The kitchen looks so happy and peaceful now. Just like my food! Started out today again with a shake and berries....Now I'm ready for some warm coffee. Stringing along another day to add to my success.

    1/26
    1/27
    1/28
    1/29

    1/30: 110# - restarting nutrition...this is DAY 1. I can do anything for 1 day. Meal planned and prepped. Just have to stick to it. My hardest part of the day is 1-5 pm. SO I am starting my food intake at 1pm. And I will have another meal at 2, 3, 4 and 5 (just a couple 100 calories at each hour). My theory is that this will play into my mindset of...I get food again....and again...and I am okay. I am on track. I am not binge eating....I am on plan.

    1/31: 107.0# - and yesterday's meal plan seems to have worked! #doing it again today!
