    Thanks for the tip! I haven’t had it before (it’s so painful!) but my experience this weekend has been the same - it’s far worse when I’ve been stationary for a bit. So, I’ve been trying, just very slowly and stiffly! Can’t wait to really get moving again!

    I have to second the walking! After my surgery my surgeon said walking will be the best thing for me to keep from locking up during my episodes. I hope you're improving and mobile again very very soon!

    -
    4/2 149.2 (trend 149.5) A little up again, no tmi is probably why. Gym was lower body, I really enjoyed it and am making good progress. Took DD shopping to buy some shoes for her granddad's funeral and picked up a couple of tops for myself but I'm not sure I like them. I'm really not into the styles in the shops at the moment, far too much floral and floaty stuff, it just looks frumpy on me.
    Not quite enough steps, I'm blaming the gym WiFi dropping out, so I got bored on the treadmill, but really it's because I spent the evening watching films on the sofa when I should have been getting some chores done. Had a few G&Ts, then I got a bit snacky and had a chocolate and salted caramel hot cross bun. Not that nice, I much prefer the ordinary spiced ones. I think I was slightly in self-sabotage mode last night, not sure why. Maybe it's because I get depressed and obsessed when I'm trying to lose and it doesn't happen. At the moment I'm feeling pleased with my progress and more comfortable in my body and I'm scared of feeling disappointed again so I'm wary of trying to push on for more loss. Something to watch out for as I definitely need to lose at least another stone, so I don't want to get lax.
    Calories over and protein well under.

    4/3 150.0 (trend 149.6) Argh! OK I'm not surprised, OH came back from his trip and we went out for beers, so this is carb bloat. Didn't have any proper lunch or dinner, just some snacks, but still definitely well over calories. I need to get back to taking this weight loss malarkey seriously.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    04/01 …..188.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

    04/02 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) I am using the starting weight of the last round as a re-do of the round during this round. That’s the best I can do for my mental health right now as I’ve been pretty down in the dumps and I feel the bloat in my body I can’t do very much about right now. I am back to logging my food (something I CAN do), but my bp has been dropping off and on to bad levels again and I am back to tracking for the doctor and doing minimal exercise while we monitor it. I will still go to cardiac rehab, but mainly for class time with education, not necessarily much exercise because of my issues right now. I am going to continue to not weigh in until I am authorized to have a shot at this with some calorie burning too. I am still hoping to have achieved my mini-goal of 188.4 by Easter. I am not sure what day we are planning Easter dinner yet (children’s in-laws have plans too). I usually give up the actual Sunday for the working in-law families and change my dinner date. Whatever day that is (maybe the day before on Saturday?) is the day I will do my mini-goal weigh in (if all goes well on the health field). Anyhoo, I wish each and every one of us the best of luck in reaching our many different and varying goals this round. You all continue to fascinate me, inform me, teach me and amaze me!

    04/03 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) I stayed busy yesterday on some spring cleaning projects. 1 down, 1000 to go. Stuck to my guns with my diet yesterday. Travel today.

    4/3 187.4 🥲Sciatica hit Friday night. Spent the weekend hurting, frozen up and trying to get moving again. Feels a little better this morning, hope to be back on track soon. Makes me laugh (but also happy) that I’ve kept on tracking and hobbling to my scale through it all!

    When I suffer with sciatica I find that walking eases it; it's sitting around that cripples me !

    @musicsax I totally agree. I've even found that jumping on the elliptical for 5 fast minutes knocks it out. I think blood flow could be a factor.

    Day, Weight, Calories, Comment

    4/02 - 181.4
    Yesterday was a good day—below calorie goal and no after-dinner snacking. We had rain and very high winds so I didn’t walk, but will make up for it today. I think my break from tracking last round did me good, even if I gained weight, as I’m feeling empowered to stick with the program now.

    4/03 - 180.8
    Another good day yesterday—below calorie goal, no after-dinner snacking, and a walk, though not as long as I’d have liked, but I really dislike cold wind! It’s a gorgeous morning, though, so I’m headed out with the pup for a walk now, and will hopefully take another on my own later.

    @SModa61 I didn't know what that was but I think I've got that too. Another reason to tell myself not to eat at night.

    @pezhed I feel you, it's impossible for me to manage both maintenance and new projects. I've been working on decluttering solutions to make maintenance more manageable. The only thing that helped me was to just throw away stuff when it becomes apparent that it's causing more stress by being in the way than having it around relieves.

    @shmmm3 I've known about the "not eating at night" due to proximity to sleep (and laying down). I've just never put it into action. Would be so neat if this coincidental act helps me to solve this long term issue. Would be wonderful if you are helped as well, along the way! <3

    I have to second the walking! After my surgery my surgeon said walking will be the best thing for me to keep from locking up during my episodes. I hope you're improving and mobile again very very soon!

    Thanks! It’s been intense, but knowing that moving helps so much has kept me going today. Really appreciate the info!

    April 2 - Day 25: 173.2
    April 3 - Day 26: 172.6

    If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started I so desperately wanted to be where I am now.

    End of "my" Round 218 (3/29): 173.8

    Round 219
    4/02: 173.2 No Exercise. Water✔ Calories✔
    4/03: 172.6 Exercise✔ Water✔ Calories✔ Hit 172.x - Yay! I don't care if it jumps around for days, I'm crossing that sucker off my first-goal list above! Calories were low yesterday. I don't seem to need as much to eat and for some crazy reason ;) I'm able to control myself and guage whether I'm really hungry and I'm staying full longer. 28 days no sugar/simple carbs? 28 days binge-free? More whole foods/fiber? Water? Stomach shrinking (is that really a thing??) Stress remaining from my husband's medical emergency? All the above? I'll take all of it except my husband's medical emergency - please never, never again!! 🙏

    Bingeing is why I'm where I am now. I want to see the results with 100 days of no bingeing. I'm not talking about going over calories from overeating a little, I'm talking full-out bingeing. And that's not just on bad foods, even when I'm eating well, I'll binge. This will be extremely challenging but if I stick to it (and stay off sugar and simple carbs to stop cravings), there is no way I'm not going to see consistent weight loss during these 100 days (not to mention the health benefits)! Part of this challenge, too, is if I do have a slip, that I don't revert back to old habits of bingeing for days/weeks/months. I will acknowledge the slip, celebrate that it didn't derail me, and just keep on keeping on.
    I want to see what happens when I don't give up!
