The damage from the Christmas open house last night should be minimal. I was able to engage with people more than the buffet. My overall calorie budget for the day was just barely broken, but the sodium budget was shattered.
After that I attended my DGS Christmas program at school. Did I mention that I also have a new DGD, born 17 days ago?
I have an upcoming beach vacation. I need to lose some inches around the waist so people will not try to roll me back into the ocean to save my life. That’s annoying 😊
12/9: 223.8
/yes, every bite; group fitness class/
I consider it a victory that my scale reading stayed level after that salted-calorie-festival of a diet yesterday. All I can say is, it would have been worse had it not been for food logging on the MFP app.
Thanks to those who had kind words about my return. I have been participating in this challenge off and on since 2019, with great results when I pay attention.

This jump up has to be water retention from sodium. (Combined with some catch-up from Friday.) My calorie count has been good.
12/11: 225.4
/logged; a few floor exercises…/
Mostly sitting yesterday. Church, football on television (for my European friends, I don’t mean soccer.)
Oh, and TMI is real.
12/12: 224.2
/yes; yes. Group exercise/
Been having trouble sleeping through the night. I basically just get up at 4:00AM after tossing and turning for an hour. I don’t drink caffeine after lunch. I wonder if I should just kick caffeine altogether, but I do love my morning cup of Joe. I need to switch it up somehow.
12/13: 224
/yes, but way over; no/
Yesterday was so busy I didn’t even think about exercise.
That was a lie.
The truth is, exercise is such an anomaly in my life lately that I didn’t even think about exercise.
The truth is, I was busy shoving high carbs into my cake hole all day. I invited and logged 193 of those bad boys yesterday. Key word: invited.
No hugs please. I wish there was a “slap” button you could use. 😊

Sheesh. Inching my way back to the starting weight.
Another party is on the horizon for this evening, so…

SW RND 244: 137.7
12/8: 137.3. I've been really tired lately because one of my boys has been having a hard time with sleeping. So I haven't been going to the gym as much as I should, skipped it yesterday so I could get some extra sleep. My food has been good. I've really been enjoying OMAD. It's easier to refrain from snacking if I just tell myself "it's not my eating time right now. I'm a bit disappointed that my weight isn't following suit, I'm still counting calories and staying under my goal.
12/9: 137.1. Still holding on to some PMS bloat. I wasn't able to go the gym because we took away pacifiers from our boys. I usually go when they're in bed, but didn't feel like I should leave my husband alone to deal with the angry boys. It took them over an hour to cry themselves to sleep It really broke my heart. Food wise, it was okay. It's never perfect on my husband's days off of work. Today probably won't be too great either.
12/10: 137.5. I'm honestly surprised it's not higher. I did not stick to OMAD yesterday and portion sizes were a bit larger than they needed to be. Didn't go to the gym again last night, as were still adjusting to the boys not having their binkies and I wanted to be home for it.
12/11: 136.9. still higher than I would like, but at least it's going down. I have to get back to the gym soon, and back to running. I have a 10k race next month and can't take too much time off of training. And I feel better when I run. Food was okay, not the best use of calorie but was under at least. Didn't quite stick to OMAD, so that's my goal for today.
12/12: 137.1. I didn't get to the gym last night, still dealing with the binkies situation. I ate okay, apart from some ice cream I had. I tried to limit the portion size though.
12/13: 136.6. I'm just not very motivated right now. I think going so long without seeing any permanent changes has got to me. Why bother if I don't see results? I had ice cream again yesterday (too much to be honest). I went for a short walk, but no real exercise. I've decided Ill take the rest of the week off from the gym and get back to it this weekend. No reason other than I just don't want to right now. I'm sorry for the not-so-uplifting post.
12/14: 137.0.
12/15: 136.2. I'm trying to keep pushing. Diet was good. Exercise was still lacking a bit. Just a walk, nothing else. I'm happy to see the number on the scale come down a bit.

12/15 - 153.7 - Not enough water and yesterday was a normal eating (read: higher carb) day. Lunch was delicious, we both got the 1/2 and 1/2 meal - one half a BLTA (avocado we discovered) on sourdough with a small bowl of chili. Perfect for a rainy gloomy day. BF was also able to pick up his meds in town during this little lunch date and we were able to get back home to work in decent time without having to work too much later than normal. Today breakfast is some kind of ham and eggs and maybe spinach, depending on what I feel like once I get hungry enough to make it. Lunch is lettuce wrapped club sandwiches which makes my mouth water thinking of the pinterest page I found for it. Dinner is stuffed bell peppers with cauliflower rice. I'm using the ground venison leftover from Tuesday's crunchwraps and mixing it with the leftover ground pork from last night's dinner so not to be wasteful and preserve the venison in our freezer (hoping to make it last until this time next year). Hopefully the combination won't be too awful. Went on a 20 minute run - 10 min slow and then 3x 3min moderate run, 1.5min slow walk. It was rainy and I took the hilly route- bad idea when I'm already struggling to breathe normal through the mucus in my sinuses. I woke up feeling better, but I'll have to let my body drain all the nasty stuff out, still, even if it's over (knock on wood I beat the worst of it already)

12/11 - We arrived home Saturday night, late. I weighed in yesterday lower than expected but believe that has to do with being quite dehydrated. Between salt last night in dinner and working on pushing fluids, I'm very much up today. It's okay, it'll drop off here soon. BF and I both woke up and ran this morning to get back into the grove of things. We both know if we procrastinate, it'll never happen. Meals planned for the week as well, since I had to get groceries yesterday for the week. I've missed you all and I'm glad to be back
12/12 - This feels much better. It's not ideal, but given the circumstances over the past month, I'll take it. Death comes in 3's - my "grandpa" (mom's dad - he disowned me, but he's still family), my dog, and my real grandpa (dad's dad) who helped raise me since he was disabled retired by the time I was born. Hopefully that's it for a good long while and I can get back to being focused and enjoying the ones I love while we're all still alive. The good thing is that BF and I are closer than ever after this and my parents seemed to have a really good impact on him - my dad's health issues and how he's overcome them have inspired BF to make some changes. We are doing low carb every other day like my parents do - it's helped my dad's diabetes and he's lost 40lbs already. My mom and dad both have way more energy and honestly look so much better. Yesterday was our first low carb day - it was a borderline disaster since I didn't have but a few hours to plan meals for the week and buy the groceries. We both managed to hit just under 30g net carbs for the day but we were hungry through the day without having much to snack on between meals that weren't our usual high-carb options. I have a better plan for lunches Wednesday and Friday this week (the low carb days) which will hopefully help avoid the need for snacking. We are both sticking under 50grams/day on those days to give us a little wiggle room while we learn. Mom and dad started at 50g while they learned/adjusted and slowly lowered so that they now aim for 30g max net carbs/day on their low carb days. They also managed to significantly reduce their portion sizes to something much healthier and more realistic - another thing BF and I said we needed to focus on. I walked Smoke this morning while BF ran with Harley. Tomorrow is a run/strength day for me and I'm sure BF will be up and moving in some fashion again with me.
12/13 - It's very nice to see that I'm down despite my normal eating (which, finding out, is very very high carb). Today is back to low carb. With everything logged through dinner, I'm right at 30g net carbs for the day. Today was much much easier as I'm learning and finding what works and what doesn't and had a plan for lunch and dinner in place. I've already started planning next week's meals (lunch and dinner at least) to ensure we're sticking to goals (right now 50g net max with goal to drop to 30g net max). Despite the drizzling rain, BF and I both ran this morning. Tomorrow is rest day with walks for us both. Rain again Friday but its a run day for us both. I bought a rain jacket for running (hopefully won't overheat me too bad but keep me dry) and it says it'll arrive tomorrow - perfect! It wasn't very fun this morning - the drizzle got me soaked after 25 minutes out there in it! I'd rather not do that again haha
12/14 - Wasn't expecting that big of a drop. That's after the successful low carb day yesterday. Today I woke up with sinus issues - my poor sinuses are all swollen. I can breathe fine through my nose but I sound like I have a stuffed nose. I also woke up with a bloody nose at about 3am and now I can't stop sniffling/blowing nose/sneezing. Ugh. Hopefully this will be gone soon. I took some of my homemade garlic infused honey and thinking about taking some of my fire cider, as well. Went out for a nice walk with Smoke (BF took Harley on a walk) which really helped my sinuses feel better, too. Today is normal eating. My meals are quite high carb, but they're not unhealthy: banana chia overnight oats leftover from Tuesday, eating out (to get out of the house since no plans to leave this weekend), and italian sausage orzo with spinach. Need to focus on getting more water in through the day. I've been slacking a bit on that. Hopefully whatever we eat out has decent options!

I'm 30F and committed to wondering less about the scale and wondering instead about how great it's going to be when my daily healthy practices are so normal that it would be weird not to do them, even on vacations or holidays. It has been nice so far. And, I think it's working.
I need to remember: Enjoy the process. Don't fixate on the outcome. I'm planning on taking a December 31st progress pic of my pants to keep me focused this month and not backslide. I don't need to care what I weigh as long as they still fit and hopefully they'll fit even better.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

SW RND 244 132.0
12/8 133.0 Carb load yesterday as I made ham and beans and cornbread. No TMI in several days. Just keep on keeping on. 95 days until cruise
12/9 133.0 DH kept forgetting to get tickets for the Community Christmas dinner on the 14th. I called yesterday and sales are closed. We’re at the top of the waiting list to see if anyone cancels. Last night we went to see the living nativity at a friend’s church.
12/10 132.0 We went to a new to us Greek restaurant. Half of the plate was Basmati rice, the other half was thin strips of filet mignon and grilled tomato, green pepper and onion. It was delicious. Today we’ll go to Great Greek as we do almost every Sunday. 12/11 132.0 Somehow I managed to not post again yesterday. My eating has been good for the last several days, mainly because I don’t have “illegal” junk available.
12/12 132.0 I need to go shopping so will go while DH is out with our blind friend.
12/13 131.0 Just because my husband gets something to eat doesn’t mean I do! This new (lack of) schedule is taking some getting used to. As board president he is going to most committee meetings just to see how they all function.
12/14 132.0 Okay with this, OMAD was at Golden Corral yesterday. ⭐️I have said I was going to get my eating under control and I have. I was going to start exercising but I have not - other than whatever walking is involved in my daily activity. I am parking farther from stores. What I am happy about is my return to sewing. So far several items for DH and a Christmas gift for DGGS. I’m giving myself a pass on extra exercise until after Christmas.
12/15 132.0 I made Keto “Ravioli” for dinner yesterday. It was good but definitely not a ravioli “noodle.” Arts and Crafts potluck today. I’m making brownies and cranberry bars. Brownies aren’t keto but cranberry bars are. I hope these pictures aren’t gigantic! ⭐️⭐️My biggest accomplishment in some time was finishing Christmas gifts.⭐️⭐️

I have been so sick the last couple weeks. I got busy and didn't finish Round 243 and then I got sick and could hardly eat anything. Still managed to gain nearly 3 pounds tho! 🤦🏼♀️I'm just going to do the best I can for the rest of the year and try to start strong in January. But I'll try to stay plugged in here.

I’ve really been struggling with drinking the water, staying hydrated and fluid retention on SOME of the days. Other days it has prompted me into water bottle action. I didn’t expect this big of a drop today any more than I expected the large increase yesterday. However, I do feel that today’s weight is pretty accurate although the scale over the next few days will be the final judge and jury. I went to my DGS’ kindergarten Christmas concert last night at the school. So cute! I also sat through my hair color appt in the afternoon so I didn’t get too much activity or exercise in yesterday. I did manage to walk one brisk 4 mph mile with my Youtube video I use frequently. My other DGS has a birthday party on Saturday (turning 7). I’m going to eat well until then and hold out for the cake and ice cream. I’m looking forward to it. I’m going to scratch out the 180’s on my color chart below as I’ve finally hit my comfort zone of 177. NSV!
12/15 -177.8- (Trend weight 179.7) A great day yesterday with diet and I was able to increase the exercise a bit due to improvements in breathing. However, last night I began bingeing after I closed out my MFP. Was it self-sabotage or because my daughter arrived for the weekend? She didn’t bring any bad food (as of yet) so am I anticipating a bad weekend overall? I’m not sure. It feels more like my typical self-sabotage I engage in when I start doing well. I’ve got to keep today clean. Tomorrow is the birthday party and I would like to enjoy it within reason.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing. Read that again!
F, 67, 5’4"
HW-234
UGW-149 - Estimated 07/25/2025.
12/8~ Day 1 - Starting Wt. 230 ~ Day 1 is always easy. (I've had a lot of them.) Day 10; now that will be the challenge.
~ I started a new healthy eating plan today, increasing protein to satisfy my appetite. Logging food and exercise for accountability. I'm six weeks out after my 2nd knee replacement. I have a mini goal to be a size 14 (now size 22) by our 50th anniversary Oct '24.
12/9 ~ Day 2 – 231 ~ Okay so I did 'almost' everything wrong today.
~ The good - I did do 20 min of exercise upon waking, and I walked 1/2 mile around the grocery store.
The imperfect- I didn't eat breakfast, ate fast food for lunch, and didn't reach my Protein goals.
The great! Tomorrow is another chance to prove to myself I can do this!
My favorite quote: Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing. Read That Again!
12/10~ Day 3 - 230 ~ Todays word is Consistency
~ Today was a milestone in my knee recovery. I walked my first full mile around the neighborhood. It was difficult and painful, (we live on a hill with 5% to 16% grades), I'm sure I'll feel it tomorrow. 1.16 miles in 38 minutes. I also logged every morsel that went into my mouth and met my protein goal with extra calories in the bank. Yes!!!
12/11~ Day 4 - 229 ~ What the heck?
~ Today was a struggle with food, ugh! I woke up late, had a cup of coffee and didn't think about food until 2p when I couldn't find anything that sounded good. So brilliant choice (not) I scarfed down two hot dogs with buns. Didn't enjoy it when I ate it and 3 hours later was still wondering why. So, started logging my food and realized I was not going to meet my protein needs. I ended up eating yogurt with extra protein for dinner and peanut butter on an English muffin for a snack and I saved the day. Wow.
12/1~ Day 5 -227.8 ~ 'Cup of Joe'
~ What to say about today. My 1st day back to work after 6 weeks medical for the knee. I work at home on a computer all day and didn't think it would be difficult to jump back in. What I found; sitting in an office chair for nine hours is hard. I had to set a timer to get up and climb a flight of stairs every hour or my knee would lock up. Mental work is exhausting. I struggle with eating well and getting enough water. Using a 'cup of joe' to stay alert is not a good idea. And I need to find a way to fit in more exercise.
12/13~ Day 6 - 223.5 ~ PNW winter blahs
~I stepped on the scale this morning and freaked! I am pretty sure it's an error, so I reweighed and got the same number. I enjoyed the 'high' all day and was spurred on to log food and pay attention to food quality vs quantity.
Secretly, I am thinking my scale needs new batteries so I'm changing them tonight and we'll see what the morning brings. Work was painful, with cramping muscles and ankle edema, no stair climbing today (That was a mistake I need to correct). I did my basic exercise but nothing extra. Raining, windy, and cold out, "Oregon Coast winter blahs", a walk does not sound appealing. Hopefully, it will be dry and sunny this weekend. Tomorrow will be better!
12/14~ Day 7 – 225.5 ~ Yup! My scale did need batteries. I knew I couldn’t lose 4 lbs. overnight any more than I could gain 2 lbs. overnight. I will watch the trend and hope to end this round at least 2 lbs. lighter than when I started. So today was a “good” day. Met the calorie and protein goals, just scratched by on exercise.
12/15~ Day 8 -226.3 ~ I hope it was the Chinese food.
Finally, Friday!! Just ended my 1st week back to work and continue the struggle with moving enough to minimize the knee pain. I have found that doing 8-9 flights of stairs daily is too much this early in recovery. The day after I am so sore, I can hardly move, so I’m rethinking my strategy and will mix it up more. So tonight, more research for maximum gain and minimal pain. I did meet the protein goal and stayed under on calories, but I need to adjust the fiber intake. I’m not getting enough. Drat!

12/17~ Day 10 -??? ~
