Round 230
July 21 - 30, 2023

61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW current MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.

History:

Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment

7/21- (maine) 122.0 True surprise. I ate slightly over my maintenance target yesterday. But went down further. Got to Maine last night. Father is still in the hospital, at least through the weekend. Mom is in assisted living and I will keep trying to check in with her. Daughter, SIL, DGS, and their cats are joining us with our two cats in our 2 bedroom condo starting today. I will cut my time in Maine short and leave after my daughter heads home. This is her birthday weekend (32 years) and last travel before giving birth to our second grandson. Tonight, we are also entertaining a friend. He became a widower 9 months ago (suddenly) and his 80th birthday was 4 days ago. I have two small cakes for tonight so we can celebrate both birthdays.

7/22- (Maine) 122.8 More logical number. Made it through last night’s dinner. Did not track perfectly, but well enough.

7/23- (Maine) 123.4 Had a case of hand and mouth disease yesterday. Gave up trying to track. Since I lost unplanned weight last week, I do have that buffer going on that helps to cover for days like yesterday. Daughter and family are here through today. Cutting my trip short to be back to help with my mother. My father’s return from the hospital keeps shifting out. It was first Friday, then “through the weekend – sun or mon”, then Monday absolute, now Tuesday. They are looking to get him stable before home. My concern is when he get home and his tendancy to make up his own rules. Given his medical condition, he should not be inventing his own rules like “my mitochondria need to recharge so I am not going to walk today” when he has been told that getting up and walking is critical for him. Argh!

7/24- (TBD) 125.0

7/25- (mass) 124.4

7/26- (mass) 122.8 (Renpho 123.0) Finally a day for me, and a chance to catch up on what has gotten neglected. Have had a raging headache since 4 am……… Father is now out of the hospital and back to assisted living. We have lots to deal with. He is stage 4 kidney failure, and has been for a while. He is a procrastinator (2022 taxes still not filed, an aspect of my grandmother’s 2008 estate is still unresolved, and two hoarded homes) and mom is dealing with dementia. Off to find the advil……

7/27- (mass) 123.3 (Renpho 123.0) I think I ate some form of ice cream all day except dinner. Needed both advil and Tylenol to knock down the headache and took until 1 PM. Today I am off to work with my parents on keeping up with the bills, and get those taxes paid.

7/28- (mass) 122.4 (Renpho 122.4) Eight hours at the assisted living then home. Only good thing is I refuse to eat there. Today is a “me” day, catch up day. Need groceries, gas, cleaning, and the like. I might even squeeze in some exercise for me.

7/29- (Mass) 124.4 (Renpho 124.4) Had a reasonable day, then just went on a bender. No idea the number of calories, but if one remembers a lb is roughly 3500 calories I did not gain even the equivalent of a single lb. Planning to make efforts today though I am facing a one day trip with unknown dining issues. Still has to be better than what I did last night. :P Bringing the Renpho with me to the hotel, so I will have a last weigh-in tomorrow.

7/30- (hotel) (Renpho 125.0) so yes I brought my scale and yes it shows the outcome of the restaurant last night. I had a reasonable eating plan in place, but the COO of the restaurant is my DD’s college roommate. She had gotten us the reservations in the first place, as they are pretty much impossible to get. Next thing we know, champagne is being brought to the table, then a variety of appetizers, all equating more than I planned to eat in the first place. Then it seemed wrong to not purchase anything, so I ordered the reasonable entrée I planned. Next, key lime pie comes out before we could even see the menu. Wonderful food, full of kindness. This morning, I should have been back on track, but we went out for breakfast, which we NEVER do. Tomorrow I will be back on track, and I am not expecting scale corrections for a few days.

@SModa61 You've been going through so much with your parents and also with the travels. I'm glad you took a little time to enjoy yourself and to appreciate some fine dining. Your very best habits will kick back in quick enough.

@deepwoodslady Thanks you for your kind words. I know we each have our struggles at times. This group is so very supportive.

PS MFP did not tell me I was tagged in your post. I glad I saw. Hopefully I have not missed others'. Is so, apologies. off to 231!!

MFP hasn’t notified me of being tagged for what seems like months. 🤷‍♀️

@quiltingjaine how odd! I had been getting tagging as recently as round 229. I wish there was a notification when quoted but that has never existed, to my knowledge.

7/22 213.1

7/23 213.2 ~ I feel the need to skip tomorrow's weigh-in. It was a junk food day as we spent the day at the Milwaukee Brewers baseball stadium. Either my tastes have changed from eating healthier, mostly home cooked meals...or the food was just horrible. I ate anyway because I was in one of those kind of moods. Positive thoughts on board for the up coming week, except for tomorrow's weigh in!!

7/24 213.8 ~ It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be🙂

7/25 214.8 ~ Pity party ends now! I had good intensions. Lunch was more than planned but reasonable. Had an all day meeting ordered in a chicken avocado protein bowl. Donuts were brought in and I managed to ignore them until about 3 when they were still there. The plan was fish for dinner, I stopped at the store but they didn't have the fish that I wanted. I opted for ground turkey and made turkey burgers. They were really good....so I had 2 I could do worse!

7/26 215.5
7/27 215.7
7/28 213.8 I don't understand! Yesterday I was very frustrated at the number on the scale as it just seemed to be creeping up for no apparent reason. Then today, down almost 2... I'll take it
