Good morning!
Yesterday my husband took off work because our daughter had off school. As someone working from home…. That was fun. To make it more fun, she had a friend spend the night on Sunday night and was here all day. Add in daylight savings and that it takes me at least a week to really get back on track, it is our fiscal year end for work and I do collecting and account clean ups, all 3 of them interrupting or running around the house yesterday….. after I made dinner I just sat on the sofa with my book and didn’t do much else. No exercise. No going out. No nothing. I’m still exhausted this morning. Oh well.
Tonight I’m going to Zumba. My daughter’s volleyball team is practicing at the same time as the Zumba class and at the same building so this works well. Then we’re both going to jump in the gym showers for a super quick clean up and meet friends at our local tea shop for trivia night. I’m actually looking forward to an after workout pot of tea, maybe picking up a small slice of cake or cookie, and feeling like I don’t know a thing during trivia. Last time the highlight was that I knew Barbie’s last name. I didn’t know hardly any other questions but it’s still fun.

@deepwoodslady I loved this so much. I’m telling you, if something ever happens to my husband I’m going to have to find the same sort of friend. I don’t know how to fix anything but dinner.

03/13-189.4-(Trend Weight 191.6)- The scale is up a bit even though I followed my plan, logged all my food and stayed under in both calories and carbs. I did take a rest day with no exercise and enjoyed my Oscar night. Also dinner was late at 10:30 pm and not much sleep. Travel today.
03/14-187.8-(Trend Weight 191.3)- Whoosh! Well there it is….The 7 I’ve been waiting for behind the 18. Now I feel more securely planted in the 180’s decade. A day or two more of this and I will scratch the 190’s off my chart below. I’m very happy today as I had a personal goal I made on Dec 10th to lose 10 pounds by Easter (April 9th). I needed to be at 188.4 . I crushed it!!!! So happy!!!!

1—212.4 Happy First Day of March!
2—214.0 let’s just say that crackers got the better of me yesterday. Today has been better.
3—211.6. 🌷
4—211.4 picked up my daughter from college yesterday for Spring Break and the drive that typically takes an hour and forty-five minutes took 4 hours! #Blizzard ‘23
5–210.9 🌷
6–210.3 🌷
7–211.2
8–209.6 🌷 not much sleep last night with a teething puppy, but Nova and I took a Power Nap this morning…and after seeing this beautiful number on the scale, who could be cranky? Not me!
9–210.1
10–210.8
11–210.8…my son and daughter have been home spending time with Nova on their spring break. It has been so nice hanging out with them. I’ve been taking a break from logging and the scale is starting a slow creep, so it’s time to get back to basics.
12–211.6 ☹️
13–210.3 😍
14–210.3 happy to hold steady

Does anyone else’s child take their money to the book fair and not buy a single book? We now have a giant cat with strawberry milk poster, stickers, “fun” pens (the body of the pen has balls in it so you can tip it back and forth or other fidget type things), another actual fidget toy, and a bunch of stickers. I keep hoping my child with want the books. Sigh.
Trivia was great. I didn’t know much of anything last night…. But we had some people on our team that knew things and actually came in first for once. It’s a small place and only have about 8 teams, I think. Still, I’ll get a free bubble tea or pot of hot tea next time I go in. Yay!
Also, I forgot to post this yesterday. I run a blog with recipes and products I find. I only post a recipe about every 2 weeks. If anyone wants the newest one for how I bulk up my taco meat you can find it at https://www.healthyeatingwithlinda.com/post/bulked-up-taco-meat
Today I have to go see my allergist, get shots, etc. I never feel great after all of that so it will be a slow night at home if I get my way.

03/15-188.8-(Trend Weight 191.0)- Up a full pound today but I’m not going to be discouraged. It was a very good day yesterday and my trend weight is still dropping. Yesterday was 976 calories and 56 carbs. Both below my daily goal. I saw my family doctor in a nearby town yesterday for a medication check (no major traveling) and she was THRILLED with my progress and I felt very proud. I think the scale is reflecting the water retention I have on non-medication days and no TMI today. This is exactly why I like the wiggle room in each new decade. On the exercise front, I went to the school yesterday evening and walked 2 miles until the janitors kicked me out. Today I am batch cooking for the freezer. Yesterday at the out-of-town grocery store I bought a 3 pack of large English cut Roasts. I cooked one overnight in the crock pot, I’m cooking another all day today and I’ll do the last one overnight. Guess what I’m having for dinner? LOL

I've had a better day today. The sunshine and little warm out has boosted my mood a little. Went to lunch with my mom and a sister from church I really enjoyed their company. Go to the doctor tomorrow hopefully I can get some good results.

Does anyone else’s child take their money to the book fair and not buy a single book? We now have a giant cat with strawberry milk poster, stickers, “fun” pens (the body of the pen has balls in it so you can tip it back and forth or other fidget type things), another actual fidget toy, and a bunch of stickers. I keep hoping my child with want the books. Sigh.
Trivia was great. I didn’t know much of anything last night…. But we had some people on our team that knew things and actually came in first for once. It’s a small place and only have about 8 teams, I think. Still, I’ll get a free bubble tea or pot of hot tea next time I go in. Yay!
Also, I forgot to post this yesterday. I run a blog with recipes and products I find. I only post a recipe about every 2 weeks. If anyone wants the newest one for how I bulk up my taco meat you can find it at https://www.healthyeatingwithlinda.com/post/bulked-up-taco-meat
Today I have to go see my allergist, get shots, etc. I never feel great after all of that so it will be a slow night at home if I get my way.

**weight updated whenever I lose.
So no new loss over the past 5 days. That’s ok though. I know that I’ve been doing this journey for years. Some weeks you lose 5 lbs unexpectedly. Some weeks you don’t see any loss at all. As long as the overall average is downward and I’m not breaking my food boundaries, all is good.
Out of curiosity, do any of you have specific food boundaries? Is it just the calories from MFP or do you have other boundaries you use?
My food boundaries I’m trying to permanently (or at least long term) live by:
No coffee until 8am
No food until 10am
No food after 8pm
Stay between 1200 to 1800 calories per day
Eat in a way that keeps my type 2 diabetes in check without medication
There are exceptions to these rules. Generally, even when there is an event I’ll break the boundary about stopping at 8pm, especially if it doesn’t start until 7pm or later, but won’t break the calorie boundary. Same with the diabetic diet boundary. On occasional piece of cake at an event won’t break my entire A1C, but I will try to keep it to a tiny piece so my calorie boundary stays in place. On Sunday, I will eat after 9am only because I leave for church at 10am.
I found that when I’m on a mini-vacation I could still stick to my calories. When it was my daughter’s birthday I could as well. I still had bites of everything and enjoyed myself. However, I kept my servings smaller and had a healthier snack either just before or just after whatever the event was to keep myself from feeling hungry.
For me, the reason this journey has taken so long keeps coming back to the times I let things slide. I will stop logging for a day, which becomes two, then three, then a month, etc. A lady I know from church was talking to me and I explained how I feel keeping that calorie range and logging every day without fail seems extreme but that when I don’t I hit that slippery slope. She said it’s like an alcoholic having a drink, then two, then three. She said, if logging it and staying in range keeps me from going crazy that I need to stay that course. An alcoholic can go dry and never drink again. A foodaholic doesn’t have that option. Whatever it takes to stay the course is what we need. I don’t want to be on insulin. I don’t want to be 300 lbs. I don’t want to worry about high blood pressure. I want to see my girl grow to an adult. I want to, one day, have grandkids and keep up with them. So I have firm and semi-firm boundaries with food.
@Buckeyebabe717 Congrats on the cholesterol levels being down!!!
@BittersweetVita Sorry about all of that going on. We’ll be thinking of you.

03/15-188.8-(Trend Weight 191.0)- Up a full pound today but I’m not going to be discouraged. It was a very good day yesterday and my trend weight is still dropping. Yesterday was 976 calories and 56 carbs. Both below my daily goal. I saw my family doctor in a nearby town yesterday for a medication check (no major traveling) and she was THRILLED with my progress and I felt very proud. I think the scale is reflecting the water retention I have on non-medication days and no TMI today. This is exactly why I like the wiggle room in each new decade. On the exercise front, I went to the school yesterday evening and walked 2 miles until the janitors kicked me out. Today I am batch cooking for the freezer. Yesterday at the out-of-town grocery store I bought a 3 pack of large English cut Roasts. I cooked one overnight in the crock pot, I’m cooking another all day today and I’ll do the last one overnight. Guess what I’m having for dinner? LOL
03/16-188.8-(Trend Weight 190.8)- No scale change. Another late dinner like most have been the past few days. Dinner at 10:00 pm and snacks at midnight. This is becoming a problem with the scale a bit, I think. Problem is that I’m just not hungry earlier and I don’t like to eat when I’m not hungry. I’ve got to start my first meal earlier which will interrupt my IF a little sooner, but it’s the only thing I can think of. I may also lighten up my first meal, but I’m already running under calorie so I just dunno. I’ll throw this up in the air, spin it around and see what comes out this weekend. Today I travel for my cardiac rehab. I do like that the trend weight is still going downward, noticing my calorie and carb cuts and recognizing both my exercise and my determination.

My boundaries:
Staying under my calories for the day (that leads me to log my meals early in the day)
No eating after dinner (I don't set a definitive time on when dinner needs to happen)
No alcohol save 1 day a month (way too many wasted calories)
That brings me to what my old doctor said about my eating. He said I was like an alcoholic with food and that's why logging and being accountable everyday with what I eat works so well for me. I absolutely need to log everyday to stay on track. Every time I have decided to stop I go wildly off the rails. That's why this group is important to me. I need accountability....and motivation....and friends!
Great conversation starter!
