itstheballroomblitz

A VERY late start, but I've been weighing-in every day..

SW: 231.2 lbs (Mar. 16, 2024)
GW: 228.2 lbs

03/17: 231.2 lbs - Ain't NOBODY going to lose weight on St. Patrick's Day!
03/18: 232.4 lbs
03/19: 230.2 lbs
03/20: 229.2 lbs
03/21: 230.0 lbs
03/22: 228.2 lbs- I've already reached my 10-day goal, but I still need to hang on!
03/23: 227.6 lbs
03/24: 227.8 lbs- I was ~ 250 calories "over", so I expected to break even or small gain.
03/25: 229.0 lbs- Backslid the last 2 days. I need to lose 0.8 lb, today, to hit my round goal.
03/26:

Note: Earlier-than-usual weigh-in, today, did not help.

SW RND 254

3/17 185.0 Worked in the yard on a glorious spring day and changed out winter to spring decor in the house. Still not feeling 100% but getting better. Over 9K steps in spite of no formal exercise. Maybe I’ll feel like a long walk today.
3/18 183 Lots of garden/yard work, carrying off limbs fallen from trees over the winter, weeding, hoeing, etc. Got in a walk with Dad at the lake. When he needs to sit and rest, I will walk out and back to him at a faster rate. Works for both of us. Such a beautiful day!
NSV: I’ve noticed the sugar and fast food cravings have passed. This is huge for me. Hope it holds!
3/19 182.4 Almost no exercise yesterday because the grand baby was sick, and I took care of him while Mommy worked. Food intake was right where I like it. I’m finding a macros balance that seems to be working for me—keeps me from being hungry, isn’t extreme, but keeps me losing. Fingers crossed.
3/20 182.0 I didn’t start my day out with a high protein meal, and I was hungry all day because of it (at least, I think that was the problem.) I stayed under calories, but my macros weren’t what I’ve been aiming for lately. I’m surprised to see the loss again this morning, but I’ll take it. I’m sure there’s a bounce coming soon. I dread it, but it’s bound to happen. Hope I can minimize it. It's going to be a beautiful, warm day here. Hoping to get outside a bunch!
3/21 181.8 Hunger from two days ago—managed! Started out with enough protein and felt much more satiated all day. Got in lots of walking and some weeding in the flower beds, etc.
3/22 182.4 Well I hope that is all the bounce I get, but I was expecting this uptick either way. Restaurant food a couple times yesterday and even though the choices fit in the calories and macros, you never know how much more salt/butter there are in things than there should be. Now to figure out what I can cook here at the house today!
3/23 182.2 Good day food wise and got in a hill-climbing walk at the library park. Going to be in a class all day today, so steps will be minimal. Need to ride my exercise bike when I get home if it goes like I think it will.
3/24 183.2 No exercise yesterday and a social gathering where, though I was careful, I indulged in some homemade bread/oil and cheese/charcuterie meats. It’ll be fine. I’ll get back in the groove today.
3/25 184.4 Not sure exactly what is going on here, but hoping it stops before tomorrow’s end of the round weigh in. Ate out one meal yesterday, but it was a vegetable plate, but I guess I need to go back to preparing all my own meals. I did get in over 10K steps, too. Maybe next round I will make water intake my new goal, too. I drink a good bit, but I don’t track it yet.

3/25: dinner out for my partner's birthday, totally worth the "bump" which really wasn't so much food but it was pasta and Prosecco! That rounds out the birthday weekends for March, but next Sunday is Easter and we'll have company, so March food madness is still with me for at least one more week.

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

3/24- 189.6
3/25- 189.0 I enjoyed some relaxed snacking at my community garden meeting. I continued my light grazing as I cooked dinner.
I’m still not measuring, logging or counting calories and macros.
I think this is helping me be more involved in making food choices in the moment. I’m trusting myself.
In some ways it’s a bit terrifying but so far I don’t feel like I’ve taken the joy out of eating. I’m not restricting or binging.
My goal is to lose weight while being a hedonist but not gluttonous. Can this be done?

Round 254 Posts
This is my posting format….

Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
/ Logged Food - yesterday; Exercise – yesterday; water - yesterday / Comment

Previous posts:

3/17: 221.6
/logged; lots of functional exercise participating in a move; 78 oz water/
Well, this is very unexpected. Although it was kind of a high protein, low sodium, low (for me) carb day yesterday. The protein came from my “quality assurance” sampling of the pork shoulder yesterday morning.

Welcome to the newcomers!

3/18: 222.2
/did not log; very little exercise; not enough water/
As far as goals go, a very poor day yesterday. I remind myself of me a couple months ago before rejoining our ten-day challenge. Not a sustainable lifestyle.

But, I am still on the wagon here folks.

On a side note, at least I have the NCAA basketball tournaments to engage with. 😊 My alma mater Iowa State has a pretty high seed this year. Hoping the right ISU team shows up for the games. We beat Houston twice this year, but they still got seeded higher than we did. I guess the tournament committee is also wondering which ISU team will show up. Ha.

I will root for the University of Iowa women’s team against my better judgement as a cyclone. I want to see Clark get to cut down the nets.

Need to find something to replace mindless eating while watching TV. Celery sticks or tulip leaves. I can’t decide which would be worse.

Any ideas?

3/19: 221.2
/logged; group exercise; 99 oz water/
Managed to keep it under control yesterday. Met my water goal for the first time in a few days.

3/20: 223.2
/not logged; not exercised; 66 oz water/
I am going out on a limb (a sturdy one) to say the 2 pound gain from yesterday is not all my body, but, it is the contents of my body. You know what I mean.

Helped in the kitchen last night for our church’s “Senior Banquet.” Catered by a local BBQ place.

3/21: 222.2
/logged; exercise good; 66 oz water/
NSV: clothes fitting a bit better.

3/22: 223.6
/not; not; not/
Amazing how my focus can be derailed by March Madness basketball.

3/23: 223.8
/logged; group exercise; 66 oz water/
My group exercise class does a crazy thing. Once a month we gather for lunch at the Pizza Ranch after class. Not sure how far and wide the Pizza Ranch franchise goes, but it is buffet style pizza, fried chicken and salad bar. I did eat a salad to go along with the other stuff. Here is the odd part; when I got home after filling myself to the rim, I caught myself nosing in the pantry for a little snack. I didn’t do it but….. shows how much of a mental game this is.

3/24: 226.0
/not; exercised; 66 oz water/
This huge bump up is a result of VERY overeating VERY salty food yesterday. Breakfast was sausage and I had Chinese for supper. Who knows what else, as I was in a trance all day in front of the boob tube. (historical reference for TV from when the tv was actually a glass tube I guess.)

Today is eating out with family to celebrate DW’s birthday. More pizza!

@Chapter_3 I appreciated and needed to read your posts about self-sabotage and food addiction! Very timely.

3/16: 222.6
Starting weight on day before this round.

3/25: 225.6
/logged; some exercise; 70+ oz of water/
This eating out really mucks up my ten-day-average weight. And today will be the fourth day in a row because it is lunch with friends. Mexican, so I plan to deink water, go easy on the chips and salsa, and order shrimp tacos without the refried beans or rice.

March 24th: “Happiness and freedom begin with one principle. Some things are within your control and some are not.” ~Epictetus

March 23rd (earlier): 200.6 ~ still sleepy (and surprisingly hungry) going back to bed for a bit. Rain suits my mood entirely. UPDATE: THREE 1/2 HOURS LATER ... my first reaction was guilt @ how much time was wasted (could have done A, B C, D) and then (still lying in bed) realized all my soreness, and even the hunger was gone. 🤔🤔🤔 Turns out had only slept 4.75 hours earlier; now was more than 8! OKKKKK that explained some things. Reweighed myself and down another 0.7 pounds!! All that to say I will be prioritizing sleep going forward, lol

March 22nd: Was feeling a little low after some bad news and went to comfort food on default before I caught myself. The damage wasn't too bad, (under calories and not back on the belly!) but the higher carbs and sugar may have completely negated my 24 hr fast Oh well ... its FRIYAH and hopefully time outside and a good nights sleep will turn my mood and weight around. Have a great weekend all!

March 21st: “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” ~Maya Angelou

March 20th: Up late and hungry, let myself have 2 oranges LNS last night. Cells sucked it up like a parched plant, so no regrets, lol ~ Starting the day much later than usual, knew I wasn't going to weigh until after working out fasted. 75 mins @ the gym was 45 min class w/ weights, bands and ball + 30 min water finisher. Calling this a Stretch and Strength Day so plan on getting more of both this eve. 🥳 whatever happens ... #FinishingMarchOnAHighNote

March 19th: BOOOOO!!!! It was so high this morning I had to give it the hand and run to the gym ASAP! 202 is only after fasted aqua aerobics this afternoon. IKR?! Totally sucks. But again, aint mad at it. Know its probably totally some meltingly good, hard to resist brisket I ate wayy too late last night. Its been lingering all day. Currently still fasted @ 9,563 steps and 631 cals 🔥but its still early enough for light weights and leg work before bed. We'll see.

March 18th: Holding on to onederland by a thread! but not mad about it. Did the math and have lost 2.8% body fat, 13 pounds and a total of 10 inches!! from hips, breast, arms, waist and thighs since starting January 1st. 🏆🏆 Feeling much stronger, leaner and happy with my progress overall, so no more second guessing the scale or my choices!! :Planning to push myself with slightly harder dietary and exercise goals until April 9th (first 100 DAYS) hoping to lose an additional 7+ pounds and 2% body fat. YESSS still aiming for the stars, but if I miss am already in the sky ...

3/17 ⚖️ 131.0lbs
Yesterday: 7 miles. Beginning to jump rope & build toward 2000 jumps a day. Also, kettlebell routine. Stormy all day today: will squeeze in fitness & Habit Mechanic workbook. I committed to a singles 🎾match tomorrow, which makes me officially crazy.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

3/18 130.2 ✅💪🏻 & finally hit protein- but no reading or 🏋️‍♀️. (Most important goals 🚫) Literally forgot to 📿. (Jump rope). Today will be super active… I’m playing a singles 🎾match this morning and then focusing on my other activities to ✅ off goals one-by one. Food prep for the week!

3/19 129.6 ⚖️ is cooperating but Muscle not increasing. Inbody scan is the only device that can track muscle mass with relative accuracy. MUST lift more. I’m simply not attacking it, and “skinny fat” persists.

Had so much fun at my tennis match yesterday… Lost in a third set tiebreaker… (Which means it was a really close match). First time I played singles in four years & I held my own! My opponent was 20 years younger. Health victory!

Read two chapters of Habit Mechanic. Learning…

Confession: My new weekly report was posted in MFP and I reviewed it… I literally skipped three days of logging and I didn’t even realize it. 🥺 That’s how discombobulated I am since starting this new consulting role.

Offering tremendous respect for everyone in this group… juggling family & work… Here I am retired, working a handful of hours per week, and I’m experiencing challenges with relatively “doable” goals. The mind is an interesting beast - our attitude, choices and priorities… How? Why? This round, I pretty much mindlessly jumped from 253 to 254 without a re-focus. Will address that today.

BTW, my name is Carolyn.

Today- reflection, reset & more tennis and 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️📿.

3/20⚖️ 129.8lbs
✅ but only 10 min of 🏋️‍♀️. Playing too much tennis was my excuse.
I have 🎾 again today then I have catch-up work. Learned from HM that 98% of our thought patterns and actions are habits… Changing them is possible, but it takes EFFORT/hard work. Called WILL POWER. Yesterday I noticed many tinkering, piddling thought patterns & choices that were simply wasteful. Three hours of do-nothing. While food/drink were spot on, I completely wasted the afternoon. Do BETTER TODAY! Your future you deserves more. Need to remember how great it feels to ✅✅✅ each box. Why am I not choosing to do better / be better? what is holding me back? Still reflecting? Time to act. Today: must 🏋️‍♀️& 📿. You owe it to your soul, mind & body.

3/21 Better day. ✅ all. 🏋️‍♀️10 min. 📿 300. @ Client’s office all morn. Today will tackle 🏋️‍♀️📿 and structured walk this afternoon. Bridge tonight.

3/22 Good Day yesterday. Storming all day today but I will get it done!

3/23⚖️130.0 ✅
I did not get it ALL done yesterday. I got it “half” done.
300 📿 jumps, 10min 🏋️‍♀️ and 8K walk. Last night, I enjoyed Mexican food for the first time in a long time… Shrimp tacos (lettuce wrap!) and one Paloma… A few chips & salsa, but not many. NSV: Enjoyed last night in moderation without guilt - I’m ready again this morn!
We might be traveling today, so I’ll exercise /walk @ sunrise! One chapter HM.

3/24 I did not accomplish everything that I set out to do yesterday. I was a little over in carbs & under protein , but hit all of my other measures. I find that when I overextend myself, I don’t have the energy to push through and then simply coast. So it’s important for me to not overdo it - I want to have energy to fulfill.

I have not shared with this group, my (ALMOST DAILY) emotional family battles… (Thank God it’s not my hubby he’s a doll!) These battles do impact my energy levels & thought processes tremendously. It’s a constant boogie-man. Some days I am successful with detaching, but most days these battles are ever-present. I depend on daily prayer and faith. This is why I often comment at “whatever you think, you feel, and whatever you feel you do…”. I am constantly changing my thoughts to make sure I feel and do - with grace and mercy. This is where the Habit Mechanic comes in to help identify unhelpful habits and replace with helpful habits… This journey is not easy! Very hard stuff!

100% flipside - I’m still pumped up from my epiphany yesterday, so I’m sincerely looking forward to a great day today. Life is all about simultaneous contradictions…

Cannot believe tomorrow is our last day. I feel like this round, I was wading in the shallow waters near the shore… Next round I will DIVE DEEP!

3/25⚖️ 130.8
Weight basically even…. Wonder if my body composition has improved? If so, only slightly I surmise. Must 💦💦💦 today.
🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼🚶‍♀️🎾📿 All? One? Or none? Let’s finish 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻!
Headed to Sullivan’s Island Friday (Charleston). Looking forward to Long beach walks morning AND evening. Staying 5 days. Preparing my MIND!

About Me, WOE & Health Journey
****************************

F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.

WOE since 7/2023: Whole Foods. No processed foods. Animal-based proteins. EGGS, Beef, pork, chicken, seafood, venison and grass-fed whey protein. I count macros & kcals - always will. (Since portion control is my issue). Keto is high-fat but I’m now leaning lower healthy fats with leaner proteins. I had paralyzing IBS for 20 years. My mother was diagnosed with celiac’s disease in her 50’s. Following her lead, I eliminated wheat, oat, barley, and rye several years ago…. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter - an occasional Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for a few days… I do enjoy berries, lemons, limes. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be a social drinker and would enjoy a good martini/scotch or Paloma at home while cooking dinner. NO MORE. Root of many evils. Primarily, the destruction of will power and the enemy of optimal choices. I’d rather journey toward my best-self. I haven’t given up alcohol completely, but I enjoy it sparingly on special occasions. This is me. I finally feel terrific.

History:

I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since at least high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - NEVER EVER- no matter my weight.

Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- up to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
Many different diets each decade!
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.135/140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs in 2010. 130lbs by end of 2014.
2020 (Age 62) 130-135lbs
7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs

UGW = 129-130lbs
⬆️SMM: 100lbs +
BF% : 23%

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take serious control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 11/15/2014. Weight @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Six years!

Another 🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.

8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 10/30 - held 130lbs till 2/1/23.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much. My nutrition has always been somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was THE issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130ish determined to…. STOP the 🎢 & be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣

The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.

I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE - to enjoy my “Senior” years to my fullest.

While active with 🚶‍♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼routine was absent. Strength & balance are 💯most important now. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️‍♀️ 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus. I want healthy/fit choices to be my first nature.

Cumulative Round Results
7/15/23 SW 145lbs
R231 - R 247, lost 15lbs to 130.
Avg loss 1lbs per Round. Painfully SLOW.
Jan/Feb: Ticked up to a steady 132ish. Happier@129-130.
(I was in “maintenance” for 4 to 6 weeks & slowly ticked up.)

“Fit & Healthy” - striving to continuously improve my strength for an active quality of life. Let’s go!

I'm Crystal! 40 yrs old, wife and mama of 3! Aiming for 1200 calories/day, less than 90 carbs and low sugar. Was doing OMAD, but adding a protein shake in after my afternoon walk to see if that will help with loss since I'm not eating a lot of protein.

Goals for this round are to increase my steps, maybe even adding another walk in on most days. Also to increase my protein

3/17 176.4 Decent day yesterday, a little higher on sodium though. I was hungry last night when I went to bed but didn't give in to snacking. Brushed my teeth and drank some water and that was that. Hoping to have a better loss this round. I seemed to have hit another plateau so I'm hoping more steps will help with this, along with aiming for more protein.
3/18 176.4 We normally go out to eat on Sundays but we didn't yesterday thankfully. Still high on sodium. I hadn't really been watching my sodium intake much until recently. It really is hard to stay in my goal for that. I cut my sugar cravings and I honestly rarely crave sugar anymore, so I know I can do better about sodium too. Hoping for a better week, at least to lose something! Hope the same for everyone else who's trying to lose ❤️.
3/19 176.1 Met all my goals and increased my steps yesterday. I'm not exactly sure by how much but I added an additional HIIT workout in. Also started wearing my galaxy watch again so I can keep up with my steps. Feeling good today! I honestly was at the point that I thought nothing I could do would help me to lose again. But there has to be something. Right now, I'm increasing my protein and steps. NOT giving up!
3/20 175.5 Another good day yesterday. Met all my goals and got some good steps in. Didn't get around to adding an additional workout in though. Have a mammogram this morning- my first one. Not looking forward to it 😆 but thankful I can get this done. Hope everyone is having a good week!
3/21 174.8 Great day yesterday. Met all goals and I'm feeling great this morning. I have gotten so used to pre-logging my foods each morning that I was a little thrown off yesterday. Church night and I wasn't sure what was on the menu to eat. I knew I had plenty of calories left to eat a good meal, I just love the fact of logging beforehand. Movie night tonight with some friends. I'm eating my popcorn! 🤣 LOL. I'm sure the saltiness will cause a gain in the morning. I'll just have a small and a zero calorie soda.
3/22 173.9 Yay! I was expecting a little gain this morning because of the popcorn last night and I ended up over ok macros too. Maybe it's due to the extra protein?? I'm hoping the weight my body has been holding on to this entire month is finally coming off.

3/23 174.2 Met my goals yesterday- today is been busy already with archery tournaments for my kids. Probably won't have time to get a walk or any exercise.
3/24 175.0 Didn't get around to posting this
3/25 173.9 Busy busy weekend. Ate junk yesterday afternoon but I finished the day off with a good walk and protein shake and a cucumber for dinner. Looking forward to getting back on track today

Saturday I split a slice of cheesecake with the Man for dinner but otherwise kept things Paleo/Primal. Sunday was a mess and didn't have a proper meal until dinner, which was a dairy-free orzo pasta with smoked sausage. Not paleo, but at least kept it dairy free which shows on the scale. All meals prepped for this week and workouts planned so back on track I am! Feeling hopeful for tomorrow's weigh in knowing I've bounced back down from the dairy intake/bloat.

Previous Day's Comments

3/17 - DNP
3/18 - I did it! I ended last round in the 140s and have maintained that an extra couple days! Whoo! I'm hoping for more progress this week but work stress is at an all time high and BF isn't helping (having taken off last week, he's behind on his work and dropped several things in my lap unexpectedly putting me even further behind. I missed lunch today due to one of those things - the vehicle needed a tire patched and he made an appointment for noon today and then made me take it.) I just got home at 345pm and the dealership is only 15 minutes away.... luckily my computer battery lasted long enough for me to make my meetings but I didn't get any work done. It's raining so no walk with dogs - I'll be working late instead it seems. He's not going to be happy about that, but he also made me miss nearly 4 hours of work that I have to make up somehow. On the bright side, I'll at least have an extra lunch to cover Thursday and will only need to worry about dinner. I'm off Friday (unless this project falls any further behind) so I can improvise food for the weekend. No hugs, just ranting because I'm beyond stressed out. Its only Monday, my computer doesn't want to work in many many ways and I'm terribly far behind schedule.
3/19 - Likely a false low due to missing lunch yesterday although I did have a couple snacks. I didn't log to see how those added up in calories, though. If I'm holding on to any hormonal bloat, that should drop off once TOM hits, any day now. Hopefully I can hold on to this 148.x range without any more skipped meals or unhealthy under-eating (even if unintentional). Good chest day today - BF figured out what is causing his shoulder issues so we can forego that exercise in the future to avoid him injuring his shoulder anymore. Stress is still a big factor but I spoke with my boss yesterday and she has really been quite helpful. I'm so thankful for such a wonderful human - being a woman she understands the added pressure of being such in a male-dominated industry and the expectations set out for us. I will make today better. Now I just need to make myself focus and stop procrastinating - it'll only make things worse for me later on.
3/20 - I'm happy with this, especially with the snacks I allowed myself (fruit salad for afternoon, and a Cashew Cookie (dates and cashews only) Larabar for "dessert" after dinner). According to my Galaxy Watch and my Withings scale, my lean mass is increasing which means my body fat is decreasing since the scale is going down (which does show on my Galaxy watch assessment, less so on the scale). I hope this means I've finally broken through the plateau/set point! I believe 150 to be a set weight of sorts - I hovered around this weight the entire time I was in the army, nearly 10 years. 151/152 was my max allowed weight for my height and I was definitely pudgy from my horrible eating habits so it was easier to hover around this than get measured and possibly fail. Today should be a tad quieter on the work front - I have a deadline of next week and very doable workload that should allow for some breaks. I haven't been able to read posts so I have 4 days to catch up on!
3/21 - I'm very happy with this! I'm feeling pretty good. I have one more prepped meal (lunch: chicken alfredo with Primal Kitchen alfredo sauce and spaghetti squash) and tonight I'll make a chicken soup to eat on for a few days [chicken, chicken broth, seasonings, celery, carrots. I've added other things to it before, but that's all that's left in my house to make it tonight]. Arms was a good workout and tomorrow I plan to run the hills around my house since I'm off work and don't have to worry about getting on the computer in a timely manner. This is, assuming the weather cooperates, of course. Otherwise the Peloton it is!

I share this only because I’m sure that many of us have emotional battles that we face each day that impact this journey… You are not alone.

I'm just going back through posts that I missed over the weekend due to being so busy. Wanted to thank you for sharing this among your other very inspiring posts. Others too, this one just stuck out to me. I am also dealing with an emotional battle, inside my own home. I can be having a great day and because I'm a peacemaker and constantly stuck in the middle over family battles, my mood is quickly changed. It is so hard but God is helping me through. I'm working on not letting other people control my happiness, my joy or my mood ❤️.

SW (this round - my last round was in November 2022) - 164.6

3/18: 164.6
3/19: 161.0 water weight gone. 7105 steps (3/18)
3/20: 160.8 too many extra bites here and there - 3 bites ice cream, licked brownie spatula and handful of baked sweet potato fries. All logged and stayed in calorie window but could get out of hand. 7370 steps
3/21: 160.0 Ate another 3 bites of ice cream (Breyer's Carb Smart Brownie Ala Mode - not my favorite but maybe it will get better - it sounded good when I got it and I refuse to throw it away lol) and finished the baked sweet potato fries but stayed under calorie budget. Otherwise I ate pretty healthy. I do need to substitute veggies for my snacks instead of fruit but that will be easier once the garden starts producing. There is nothing better than home grown tomatoes, corn, cucumbers, spinach, broccoli, green beans, zucchini and peppers. 7229 steps
3/22: 160.4 Hmmm. I don’t know.
3/23: 160.2
3/24: 162.6 A lot of salty Chinese food and a couple of delicious brownies. Back on track today.

Happy St. Gertrude’s Day! 😸 I’m doing well with not tracking, though I do automatically click the track button sometimes. I am definitely not obsessing so much about food, and am not craving anything. Anyway, I’m continuing not tracking this round and am also going to limit weigh ins to days 5 & 10.

Stepping on the scale in the morning is such a habit I forgot not to this morning. But I’m not going to report the number. 😊 it’s cold and snowing and I have two knitting projects almost finished, so guess what I’m going to do today?! Have a good one, all

3/19 - 193.8
I give up—my weigh-in habit is so deeply ingrained that I’m on the scale before I think, so I may as well report in. 🤪 it’s still cold out, so today is a little housecleaning and then seaming together a cardigan I’ve finished knitting. Nice and cozy. Anyway, happy Spring! 🌹

3/20 - 193.8
Not much to report. Another cold day today, but Charlie & I have agility class, so I’ll get a little exercise. Yesterday I did “big vacuuming” (moving heavy furniture to get underneath) and I’m counting that as exercise. 😊

3/21 - 194.8
We had a salty lunch yesterday. DH wanted to pick up Fazoli’s (he had a coupon), so I had meatballs, no pasta.They have a lot more fat than I like, but once in a while…. I did snack way too late and know it’s habit, not hunger. I’m working on that. I’m planning a nice salad for lunch today.

3/22 - DNW

3/23 - DNW
I’m feeling stuffed. We went out yesterday for Chinese lunch. I didn’t eat dinner but did have a bowl of cereal with almond milk later, but this morning I feel bloated. I didn’t want to see the discouraging numbers so didn’t weigh in. I’m hoping to eat light today.

3/24 - 194.8
That’s ok, considering I ate out Thurs & Fri, and yesterday brought home a salad from Culver’s. Lots of “outside” food, so more salt than I normally eat. Today will be home and, since I feel kind of stuffed, light. Have a lovely Sunday!

3/25 - 195
Ugh. I didn't eat that much yesterday, but I feel stuffed for some reason. I’m sure ready for warn weather—these damp days in the low 40s are miserable, and I don’t bundle up and walk because I know from past experience that March & April are bronchitis weather for me. Anyway, I regularly drink lots of water, but I’m going to try for a bit extra, and less coffee, for a while.

@tiabirdie56 Thanks so much for the links and suggestions re. my burning feet. I did increase my B vitamins a while back and I’ve been taking naproxen (Aleve) at bedtime for a couple of weeks for general aches & pains, and my feet aren’t burning at night, so whether the vitamins or the anti-inflammatory, or the combo, something’s working. I will read the articles! (I think I’ve read the Mayo piece before.)

3/20-DNW-Just glad to be here.

3/21-175-I realized last night that I am not drinking enough water…….Half of our weight in ounces? So that is about 90 oz.? I am off to quilt and will fill all of my water bottles to take with me. I feel so bloated and miserable and it’s got to be the lack of water.

3/22-174 Off to a quilting class and will bring my lunch. I don’t need to be starting another quilt but my friend is taking the class and it will be fun to hang out with her.

3/25-175- Hopefully I can get a walk in and drink my quota of water. I have my work cut out for me, getting the house ready for Easter. I want to go over to MIL’s to plant flowers in her yard too.

▪︎Day3•Tu•Mar 19-¤DNW
(Mo•89gProt▪︎49gCarb▪︎120ozs water) A good day. Closer to eating keto. I'm giving myself 3 days to transition from the grain carbs. Thinking about giving up coffee for a while so that I can make that 128ozs of water breakthrough. I'll weigh tomorrow.

So, I bought reduced sugar cranberries to add to the sweeter ones and ate even MORE lol 😂 The reduced sweetness appeals to me more. I just need to stop eating them.

34F, 5’5” and starting at 175lbs. I had my 3rd baby in August and went from 166 pre-pregnancy to 216 the day I had her. Slowly getting back down, but my goal weight rn is 150ish by August.

Goals are to stay under 1600 calories/day, workout 5-6 days/week, and avoid alcohol/eating out. Also I need to increase my water intake!

You're welcome. I found this also Sheila, @SheilaBoneham Erythromelalgia.
I have an autoimmune condition and get flare ups of this burning, but it's not that often and it's not this condition. Worth a read.

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/erythromelalgia/#:~:text=Erythromelalgia is a rare condition,and avoiding triggers can help.

3/19 220.2 It all caught up with me. Friday was good, so Sat morning was really good. Saturday was kinda bad, Sunday was really bad and Monday was kind of bad again. All coupled with Rest on Sunday, No gym on Friday and Monday due to maintenance and it got cold again so I couldn't get the extra walk in. On track for good today. I've got to undo this damage. OMG
3/20 218.2 That's better. Now I need to see that reduction one more time to get back on track. But I did note 3 bad days so I'm going to need 3 good days to break even and then 3 more good days to get to where I want to be. So much fun in store!!! What I love is it's all so very transparent. Do the work (exercise + quality/within calorie range) get the results!
3/21 218.4
3/22 218.4 I think I need a mental reset... That All or None mentality is creeping in.

3/25 220.0 ~ @chapter_3 You have included some powerful posts as of late that I need to go back, read, reflect and take action. I left home today thinking I need to regroup, as I alluded to a few days ago. Total self-sabotage, but not necessarily before an accomplishment. Mine is usually two-fold and comes in waves. .... I've done really well for a while, then something (usually an event) takes me off course and I struggle to get back on ...and eventually get to all or none mentality. The other is stress related...things on my mind for which I can't do much about or am not ready to do anything about...and for a moment in time, I stop caring. I've introduced some awesome exercise habits that have kept me going through this time but exercise isn't enough. Thank you for sharing.

@chapter_3 said: " I've done really well for a while, then something (usually an event) takes me off course..."

It's usually the events (i.e., burger night @ my favorite pub) that sink my progress,too. I don't let them stop me, though. I just get upset that it takes me 2-3 "good days" to erase 1 "bad day". It's tough sticking-to-the-plan 100% of the time.

Snow last week and 70 degrees today! Time to start thinking about wardrobes that fit in warmer weather. Hopefully I will see a half pound loss this go around… which will put me in the 130’s!

3/19. 132.2
3/20. 132.8

03/24 -182.6- (Trend weight180.5) I enjoyed the birthday party yesterday, perhaps a little too much. I’m honestly surprised my numbers are not even higher today. Plan-wise, March has been a bad month for me. I would love to turn it back around a bit before the month ends but I have several upcoming out-of-town trips coming up and that is never good. I’ll do what I can, when I can, where I can but my eyes are more on April.

03/25 -DNW- (Trend weightDNW) Early and all day/evening travel today. I’ll catch up on reading the posts tomorrow.

03/26 -xxxxx- (Trend weightxxxxx)

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

@SheilaBoneham I’m so sorry you are struggling with your feet, but let me encourage you to think about a different pain relief medicine. My mother took Aleve every day for her arthritis. It ended up destroying her kidneys or that’s what the doctors blamed it on. That is what eventually killed her. Just at least check with your doctor first.
