03/21 -180.6- (Trend weight180.0)

03/22 -180.6- (Trend weight180.1) I am totally shocked to see no change on the scale. Typically I can fluctuate quite a bit from day to day on both good days and bad. Yesterday was an excellent eating day. I came in under 1200 calories with low carb, fat and sodium. That usually shows up on the scale. Oh well, I guess it is what it is. Perhaps only getting 3 hours of broken sleep contributed. Tomorrow I travel about 2 hours round trip for DGS #5 birthday party. He is turning 5. A pool party at a hotel with food, cake, ice cream and all the trappings. That won’t help my cause but it will be nice to have the whole family together. We will not be able to have Easter together due to my renovation going on. Most of their homes are just not large enough. We will probably reschedule something when the renovation is over. Hopefully by sometime in May. We have a snow blizzard today. Expecting up to 6 inches of snow. Schools are cancelled. Happy Spring everyone!

03/23 -182.2- (Trend weight180.3) Birthday party today for DGS. I stared the self-sabotage last night. Stress is definitely playing a factor too.

3/17 - 186.7 lbs - Still working on making the habit of tracking my intake stick, did only a short walk around the neighborhood today but deep cleaning my apartment made me move a whole lot today.
3/18 - 185.9 lbs - Had a day out today, walked almost 10 miles, and probably ate more veggies than I usually do in a week.
3/19 - 185.5 lbs - I'm still not really consistent with tracking but my diet is a lot healthier than it had been even just a month ago and I am always keeping track of how much I move, even though I want to get more serious about tracking my intake I at least see that I am doing things right and I certainly can't complain about that! Weight fluctuates but I've also lost 1.5 inches around my hips since the beginning of the month.
3/20 - 185.3 lbs - Had a lazy day today, not much to report.
3/21 - 185.3 lbs - The weather wasn't that great but I still went for a long walk after lunch, plus both lunch and dinner were packed with various veggies. I feel lucky that I could eat fresh veggies all day and not get tired of them.
3/22 - 185.6 - Weight went a bit up and had another lazy day but I prepped my food for tomorrow and planned my workout to make sure I stay on track tomorrow.

🎷 65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 254 (my 184th). Thank you @itladyee for keeping this going, so grateful for you stepping in when @Quiltingjaine & myself were MIA!
Goals for this round; to lose! Scale still being erratic, obviously still reflects rate of consistency (or not!) with walking mileage as well as food. Must concentrate on consistency, really want to get back. And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
Good luck everyone for a successful round.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

SW RND 254 Day, Weight, Comment

3/17 142.4 - (trend 142.2) Yesterday we were around Royal Chatham Historic Docks all day and then travelling back home, so no structured walking.
3/18 141.4 – (trend 142.1) 7.26 miles walked yesterday, 20% exercise calories eaten back.
3/19 140.8 – (trend 141.9) 8.93 miles walked yesterday, 20% of exercise calories eaten back. Some of this loss is due to an upset stomach that I’ve had since Sunday.
3/20 140.8 – (trend 141.8) 8.90 miles walked, less than 30% exercise eaten back. Lovely spring day so I was able to get out in the garden, did some weeding and potted up some new plants.
3/21 140.8 – (trend 141.7) 9 miles walked yesterday, 75% exercise calories eaten back.
3/22 141.4 – (trend 141.6) no structured walking as childminding little DGS. I’m really behind with my average daily walking, the weather has not been kind with it’s precipitation!! I do not walk in the rain!!

3/23 140.4 – (trend 141.5) 6.46 miles walked, all exercise calories eaten back. Oldest DGS 6th birthday today, trip to a farm themed park an hour and a half journey away from us, and later there will be cake involved – it is the law to participate on someone’s birthday !! LOL 😊.
3/24 140.4 – (trend 141.3) no structured walking yesterday, the 4.3 miles all done around the children’s theme park/farm. Lots of running up and down the very large soft play when the rain showers came and a very hard work out on the pedal powered monorail through the tree tops – that was HARD work!! Two of my little DGC wanted me to take them in the 2-seater pedal cars, I could only manage one circuit!! Luckily the second one was pacified by Grampy taking them 😊, thank goodness. A wonderful day had by all. The birthday cake meant I went over calories.

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.

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

Rnd 263- 189.4

3/17- 188.2
3/18- 193.4
3/19- 190.4
3/20- 190.4
3/21- 190.4
3/22- 188.8
3/23- 190.4
3/24- 189.6 I was very unfocused eating yesterday. We had our Spring snowstorm which was an excuse for me to make a pie and a hearty meal for DH. I sampled everything a few times.
I have to buckle down.
This is where I have to be so careful not to overly restrict and go down the rabbit hole of unsustainable disordered eating.
I’m going to try to continue to listen to my hunger cues but to satisfy myself with slightly smaller portions. I know I’m at the tipping point of just a few calories each day making the difference. I can make one or two little changes each day to see a big difference.

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.

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.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

It is a mental game. But actually what you ate caused an addiction to kick in… I read about that yesterday… The chemicals in the food you had just eaten, lead your brain to the pantry to eat more… Think about it!

EDIT:
I just had to go back and find what I read… If just one person connects with us, then the post was worth it… It surely connected with me! If not interested in reading a long post, just scroll through…

Hunger?

There are 5 types of hunger that ideally should be taught to all overweight patients.

Without cultivating an awareness of appetite, hunger and cravings, a patient with obesity will not know what they are fighting against

So Let’s start!
We are going to start with some easy ones…

The Cephalic phase response aka food cues - this is hunger stimulated when in presence of food.

These signals are deeply ingrained and can be conditioned. Think of Pavlov & commercials - these aren’t going away quickly or ever.

Second up is appetite triggered by Social cues to eat - our social lives, whether they are business meetings, family dinners or birthdays. Unless you are going monk mode - this cue to eat is also not going away & requires attention to manage.

Third up is the fat+carb combination. The brain rewards carb+fat combinations. It doesn’t reward added fats alone like putting oil on a salad or like adding butter & sour cream to a baked potato.

But our reward systems are truly paired to carbs alone or carb+fat combinations.

For example, you’ll eat plain pasta. You won’t eat a bowl of melted cheese but you’ll LOVE Mac and cheese.

You’ll eat baked potato, you won’t drink oil, but you’ll love chips or fries

Brains reward:
Carbs & fat > carbs alone > fat alone

Fourth up is hunger induced by glycemia changes…

Have you ever eaten pizza and 2-3 hours later find yourself eating cold pizza and it tastes better? Maybe the same with Chinese food?

This is likely post-prandial glycemic dipping … follow me on this one.
We know that even 20mg/dL downshift in blood sugar can stimulate the reward centers of the brain.

Think of a diabetic patient that just dosed too much insulin & their blood sugar goes low… what do they say?
They say “give me chocolate, ice cream, cookies, candy or soda…“

What drives this? Likely those reward centers are getting stimulated… I’ve never heard a hypoglycemic patient ask for diet vegan broccoli 😝

When that post-prandial glycemic downshifts occur the brain reward centers are activated.

That’s why cold pizza tastes better 3 hours later even though you just ate and feel gross!
You could have had an anvil in your stomach but if your brain sees lowering sugar in the setting of high insulin, the brain is getting activated to get awesome food. These downshifts in sugar have been shown to lead to increased intake & hunger
This is also possibly why gastric bypass pts gain weight …the brain signals don’t care much about your stomach surgery 🤔

Nonetheless, we know by keeping carbs low you decrease hunger & increase “metabolism” by 200-300kcal/day

5th is one of the most important - stress-induced hyperphagia

We have seen stress lead to massive changes in blood sugar on CGM without food intake…

We have also seen that stress is one of the leading causes of weight regain in our practice

Coincidence? Possibly. Stress causes a number of physiologic changes, heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood flow changes in the brain. It’s not typically during acute stress that humans seek to eat more. It’s after.

After a tough day…
“I put the kids to sleep”
“I was watching TV”

When patients are in that subacute stress phase, their blood sugars are coming down, but pragmatically speaking stress is a comfort deficiency.

Patients need to be educated on the fact that stress is literally a willpower deficiency through involuntary blood flow & hormonal changes and if they don’t have defenses in place to defend their lifestyle, they will likely regress to what’s easy and available. And what is easy and available is the obesogenic food environment & thus weight gain.

Processed foods lead to eating 600kcal more per day versus unprocessed.

The last type of hunger patients need to be educated on is the dessert effect aka sensory specific satiety. This explains why when grandma leaves everything on the thanksgiving table, why despite being ridiculously full people find themselves picking food they didn't eat at dinner. And why despite being full when grandma puts out dessert everyone is able to eat that amazing pie.

This is also a deeply ingrained signal and transcends any diet. Variety and different food taste/texture profiles will make you eat more whether you are vegan or Keto.

@Chapter_3 in your last two posts you told me all about me!

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.

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.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

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!

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 except HM. 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 God’s 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!

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.

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… and choosing hope & gratefulness. Living in the present is a gift to embrace.

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!

@_JeffreyD_
I’m touched my posts yesterday were relevant to you. We all learn from each other and that’s the beauty of this journey! Onward!

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.)
130.4 on 3/16/24

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

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.

3/18 - DNW
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.

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!

3/19: 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

NSV: Epiphany

While currently on my morning walk, (I just sat down on a bench to write this) I just realized a huge, huge milestone. Without going through 10+ MAJOR different life-altering examples throughout the past 50 years, I have an ingrained pattern of “slacking off” right before OR as I am accomplishing a long-term goal OR the pinnacle of accomplishment. It’s an obvious pattern. Many will call it “self sabotage“… I’m calling it mindlessly NOT reaching my God-given potential. Sometimes I’m aware and sometimes I’m not, but I choose to do nothing, stop or reverse.

It has happened throughout my entire life. When I’m just about to grasp or seriously excel… I don’t breakthrough with the momentum, but I SHOULD from all the hard work & sacrifice that it takes to get to THAT certain point.(school, career, relationships, health). Every darn facet of my life is impacted by this unfinished, finish line.

I want to learn how to push through and reach the ultimate. (which of course there is no ultimate - life is a constant journey…)

Why not? Why not me? WHY NOT YOU?!

Join me in this race! I’m going to bust through the finish line and go for more!!!

@Chapter_3 : OMG- I was just having this conversation this morning! I wonder if it was a generational thing for women, taking a step back??? Don't push too hard, stay in your lane? It happened to me too, in so many aspects of my life.
I'm with you, let's get it done- whatever "it" is for you!!!

3/24: back from an overnight trip to PA for a birthday celebration; forgot to bring the travel scale, so I weighed when I got back. Managed well at that party, and happy that I'm figuring out how to have fun without overindulging. I'm on my way to the gym; still nursing my back strain, so recumbent bike and hot tub today.
It'd be very easy to "skip" today's logging and exercise- I've been consistent for almost 3 months (89 days, but who's counting?), so what difference does today make?
The difference is: my pattern is to get to the end and lose focus. It's meant that each time I get close, I stop paying attention to what's best for me, as if sliding into bad habits is a reward for having good ones. It's like my inner mother is training my inner child, maybe.
So, here I am logging and off I go to bike.

@Chapter_3; your post on the 5 types of hunger was also great reading- you're on an inspirational roll and thanks for sharing it with us!

Sheila, @sheilaboneham, I wanted to give you a couple of article links to your burning feet question. I apologize that it's taken this long but I just had too much going on in my personal life at the time. Burning feet is peripheral neuropathy. I have that burning in my hands off and on.
B12 is the vitamin that can help this problem, but other B vitamins also. Maybe get a good Methyl B complex vitamin containing methylcobalamin b12. Your body absorbs methalayted B vitamins better. I also take alpha lipoic acid- ALA and N-acetyl cysteine N-ac for whatever benefits I can get from them for nerve pain relief.
Anyway here are the links

NSV: Epiphany

While currently on my morning walk, (I just sat down on a bench to write this) I just realized a huge, huge milestone. Without going through 10+ MAJOR different life-altering examples throughout the past 50 years, I have an ingrained pattern of “slacking off” right before OR as I am accomplishing a long-term goal OR the pinnacle of accomplishment. It’s an obvious pattern. Many will call it “self sabotage“… I’m calling it mindlessly NOT reaching my God-given potential. Sometimes I’m aware and sometimes I’m not, but I choose to do nothing, stop or reverse.

It has happened throughout my entire life. When I’m just about to grasp or seriously excel… I don’t breakthrough with the momentum, but I SHOULD from all the hard work & sacrifice that it takes to get to THAT certain point.(school, career, relationships, health). Every darn facet of my life is impacted by this unfinished, finish line.

I want to learn how to push through and reach the ultimate. (which of course there is no ultimate - life is a constant journey…)

Why not? Why not me? WHY NOT YOU?!

Join me in this race! I’m going to bust through the finish line and go for more!!!

THE UNFINISHED FINISH LINE. SO TRUE FOR ME ALSO, AND SO POWERFUL. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING THESE THOUGHTS!

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.

SW RND 254

3/17 - 186.7 lbs - Still working on making the habit of tracking my intake stick, did only a short walk around the neighborhood today but deep cleaning my apartment made me move a whole lot today.
3/18 - 185.9 lbs - Had a day out today, walked almost 10 miles, and probably ate more veggies than I usually do in a week.
3/19 - 185.5 lbs - I'm still not really consistent with tracking but my diet is a lot healthier than it had been even just a month ago and I am always keeping track of how much I move, even though I want to get more serious about tracking my intake I at least see that I am doing things right and I certainly can't complain about that! Weight fluctuates but I've also lost 1.5 inches around my hips since the beginning of the month.
3/20 - 185.3 lbs - Had a lazy day today, not much to report.
3/21 - 185.3 lbs - The weather wasn't that great but I still went for a long walk after lunch, plus both lunch and dinner were packed with various veggies. I feel lucky that I could eat fresh veggies all day and not get tired of them.
3/22 - 185 lbs - Another day, another walk, plus taking some book donations to the library. It's not that far away but carrying a box filled with books for about 1.5 miles is still a good workout, I already know I will feel that in my arms tomorrow.
3/23 - 185.6 - Weight went a bit up and had another lazy day but I prepped my food for tomorrow and planned my workout to make sure I stay on track tomorrow.
3/24 - 185.4 - I am really glad I did all the prep yesterday, I didn't feel like cooking at all today but had all the delicious veggie stir fry ready! Plus the workout and a long day of continuing sorting through all the stuff stored in my basement.

@judefit1 @deepwoodslady @_JeffreyD_
Pleased to read that my EPIPHANY resonated with you. ❤️ your comments.

Often we (not speaking for you but just generalizing here) are just so, so close and yes, lose focus or change direction right before reaching an even higher level… I think this happens to me when ONE area of my life is not going well and it bleeds over… causing a heap of collateral damage. The ability to compartmentalize with laser focus is an incredible skill! SKILL! I don’t have ANY answers for sure, but I’m taking time to figure it out. Changing 50+ year thought patterns will be a challenge, but I’m up for it.

Pw: 175
Sun 03/24: 173.7; -1.3lbs
~ Typical weekend struggles

Stayed Below SW 173.7 ☘️=Yes ⛔️=No
(Sun> > > > > > > > Next Tue )
⛔️⛔️⛔️☘️☘️☘️⛔️☘️🔘🔘

*MiniGoal: Under 171 Not thinking I’m gonna to make it !🤔👀

03/25 Mon ~ 9th Day
03/26 Tue ~ Last Day

Prev Days :
(”..On 2nd thought..”in RED):

Sat 03/23⛔️175; +2.7lbs
~ Husband ordered a steak sub from Hungry Howie’s and I thought I had such a fail proof plan in place. While he waited for his delivery I made myself a little keto pizza but I ended up burning it!🙄 Ultimately I ended up eating the other half of his sub with some Cajun seasoned Howie bread. Man it was good though! I had not regrets until getting on the scale this morning.. ouch!
Fri 03/22☘️172.3; +.4lbs
~ I ate when I wasn’t hungry and I think I forgot to track something somewhere. Otherwise this gain doesn’t really make sense. Yesterday’s weight did keep fluctuating even after I changed out the batteries. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe I need a new scale because it’s been doing that aloe lately.
~ Nothing going on this weekend so I’m getting ready to pump up the jam.. in the gym💪🏋🏻‍♂️
Thu 03/21☘️171.9; -1.3lbs
~ I’m getting excited now!! Finally past all the bloat and have been on a good track for the last 3 days.Woot woot!
~ We’re at the 10-day halfway check point everyone!
Wed 03/20☘️173.2; -1.4lbs
~ I didn’t sleep well.. I had vanilla chai tea last night and I’m always the one who’s like “caffeine doesn’t affect me!” I’ve actually tested this theory multiple times and i would have an espresso an hour before bed and still I’ve slept fine. But I had never tried this particular tea before and boy was I thrashing around last night! Dreams upon vivid dreams. So maybe two vanilla chai tea bags might be one too many for me. I slept terribly and so I slept in to try to “catch up” on it.
~ I usually weigh in at 7-730am but this was more like 9-930am and so I’m not sure my weight today is a fair reading
~ I’m sitting here thinking about the day ahead and I already skipped my morning session at the gym and I’m not really feeling the treadmill this morning so I really hope I can turn this day around!
Tue 03/19⛔️174.6; +.7lbs
~ it was a damage control type of day. Got in a lot of steps, ate well (other then the pint of Rebel pistachio low carb ice cream I ate late at night) I was really hungry throughout the day and I finally caved in. .
~ Day 2 of my accountability partner/cousin not answering my phone call 🫤 my hubs seems to think I should give it up for now. I’ll definitely consider his suggestion since he’s not someone who naturally likes to work out.
~ /\/\ Pre-TMI above /\/\
**Note to self: Workout gear seems to add about 1.7 lbs
Mon 03/18⛔️173.9;-1.5lbs
~ Yesterday was a total bust.. but the scale went down(Must. Be. Positive.)
Sun 03/17⛔️175.4;+1.7lbs
~ It’s not real; It’s not real; It’s not real! 4 slices of thin crust supreme and a ton of Mich-ultras later. If I was in my right state of mine I would have thrown a Quest pizza in the oven but alas, I was far from that state
SW 03/16:☘️173.7;-0lbs
~ Didn’t stick to this one for this last round and it shows! Will try again for round 254. **NOTE** Drinking also makes me get hot in my sleep so not only does it add empty calories but it causes me to eat extra and sleep less.. May want to try to remember also.. not to make declarative statements the day before St. Patrick’s Day!

🍀🐥🌷The start of spring to motivate us

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!

SW RND 254. 131.5🍀

3/17. 132.8. Ouch… too many social events lately! They finally caught up to me!
3/18. 132.6
3/19. 132.2
3/20. 132.8
3/21. 132.3.
3/22. 132.1. It’s a slow stumble back down, but down is a great thing.
3/23. 132.1
3/24. 131.9. Sprained my ankle 3 days ago, so I haven’t been getting in my miles. But it felt better today, so maybe I can ease back into more movement tomorrow.

🎷 65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 254 (my 184th). Thank you @itladyee for keeping this going, so grateful for you stepping in when @Quiltingjaine & myself were MIA!
Goals for this round; to lose! Scale still being erratic, obviously still reflects rate of consistency (or not!) with walking mileage as well as food. Must concentrate on consistency, really want to get back. And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
Good luck everyone for a successful round.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

SW RND 254 Day, Weight, Comment

3/17 142.4 - (trend 142.2) Yesterday we were around Royal Chatham Historic Docks all day and then travelling back home, so no structured walking.
3/18 141.4 – (trend 142.1) 7.26 miles walked yesterday, 20% exercise calories eaten back.
3/19 140.8 – (trend 141.9) 8.93 miles walked yesterday, 20% of exercise calories eaten back. Some of this loss is due to an upset stomach that I’ve had since Sunday.
3/20 140.8 – (trend 141.8) 8.90 miles walked, less than 30% exercise eaten back. Lovely spring day so I was able to get out in the garden, did some weeding and potted up some new plants.
3/21 140.8 – (trend 141.7) 9 miles walked yesterday, 75% exercise calories eaten back.
3/22 141.4 – (trend 141.6) no structured walking as childminding little DGS. I’m really behind with my average daily walking, the weather has not been kind with its precipitation!! I do not walk in the rain!!

3/23 140.4 – (trend 141.5) 6.46 miles walked; all exercise calories eaten back. Oldest DGS 6th birthday today, trip to a farm themed park an hour and a half journey away from us, and later there will be cake involved – it is the law to participate on someone’s birthday !! LOL 😊.
3/24 140.4 – (trend 141.3) no structured walking yesterday, the 4.3 miles all done around the children’s theme park/farm. Lots of running up and down the very large soft play when the rain showers came and a very hard work out on the pedal powered monorail through the treetops – that was HARD work!! Two of my little DGC wanted me to take them in the 2-seater pedal cars, I could only manage one circuit!! Luckily the second one was pacified by Grampy taking them 😊, thank goodness. A wonderful day had by all. The birthday cake meant I went over calories.
3/25 140.4 – (trend 141.2) 12.48 miles walked, 40% of exercise calories eaten back.
3/26

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!!
