    Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later.
    Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
    Round 277 - I forgot about my birthday which apparently led to not the best choices or I had really high hopes.
    At any rate, Round 278 looks promising. No birthday or holidays or planned events, well there's one on the 20th but If I can tow the line until then....
    Still missing that drive to stay the course....Maybe I can get some "head" work into today and get back there...!

    So here we go November 2024... my motto(s) - All the things I need to read daily!!!
    🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
    Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
    H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
    Lose weight in the kitchen ⚖️, get fit in the gym🏋🏾‍♀️
    Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!

    Goals this round:
    Resuming structure~Goals and Targets
    - Closing my rings M-S🚶🏽
    - Tracking/Under Calorie Budget > Plan for 1250 - Flex for 400 = 1650 (1250 - 1650) with small frequent meals🍎
    - Macros - hit Protein > Plan for 150. 100 is acceptable. (100 - 150) ✅
    - Water - 50 oz minimum ~ ultimately between 80 - 100💧
    - Downward trend⬇️

    SW RND 278

    11/12 224.6 ~ I found my wireless Renpho scale! Yippee! But...it's not syncing very well. Considering going back to my Withings scale or exploring some others.
    11/13 225.5 ~ New scale. Right after yesterday's post, I started bouncing on the internet comparing scales. There have been some upgrades to the Withings scale, and I chose the Body Comp one (same-day delivery from Amazon). It will be better after at least a week of data, but it has merged all my recent data from Apple Health. I canceled a few other "fitness" and monitoring subscriptions that I had (First Phorm, Sleepwatch, Wellatory) and rolled that $$ into the withings + program as it seems to address all except tracking. I just recently moved to Cronometer for tracking.
    11/14 DNW
    11/15 225.6 ~ Maybe I don't like the new scale. I had pasta last night sooo..
    11/16 DNW
    11/17 225.3
    11/18 225.4
    11/19 225.9 Boo...but when I look at the details> Last time I closed all rings was Friday 11/15. I had my grandson over the weekend, so that introduced more food and different types of (kid-friendly) foods. I almost closed all rings yesterday, just a bit short on the MOVE. Water, decent ~ 50 ounces average. Tracking, over or not tracking, was better yesterday. Ok on protein. Still mentally disconnected through....I need 1.5 by Thursday to close this round out. Then I need to find another pound or so next week to be lower than my ending October weight for a downward trend. My husband wants to do this 10 day fast. Not fasting for 10 days but 3 days to prep (eating raw veggies, broth etc, 3 days fasting and then 3 to 4 days recovery (veggies, broth etc). I don't think I can do that to my body, at least not now...but I am anxious for him to start as it will help me to focus and I won't be tempted when he pops open a beer or grabs those chips!
    11/20
    11/21

    @Skyleen75 ~ If found myself snacking as well to stay awake for the Tyson fight.

    @chapter_3 ~ sending you good thoughts as you attack your BHAG! You got this!
    Why be here (JGMTD) without measurable results?
    I hear you loud and clear. I don't even want to look back as I know...and that's why my new goal is a downward trend. I 've got to start somewhere and setting 3, 5, 10 pound goals isn't working. So progress to me is 1) Lower than I started the round and 2) At EOM, lower than the previous month. even if its .1!

    @Blueberries59 ~ Preplanning and preloging is the best combination. Now, I just need to practice what I preach🙂

    @capewrathultra ~ hang in there!

    Thanks, Charissa! Poor effort = poor results. I need to get my act together!

    11/18 -DNW- (Trend weight-DNW-)

    11/19 -192.2- (Trend weight-191.6-) Very early weigh-in about 3 hours earlier than usual. I hope that's part of this scale shock. I'm sure though that travel and weekend guests have caught up to me. I'm sure that's a big part of it. I've GOT TO have a good day today even though I am already starving. Choosing the right foods will be key today. Need nutrition and volume without added calories or carbs.

    11/20 -192.6- (Trend weight-191.7-) For the past couple of weeks I have been focusing on adding fiber to my diet for a number of reasons. As someone who finds most veggies horrid (part of my eating disorder) this task has been difficult. Right now I am using a high fiber low carb bread. 10g of carbs per slice and 10g of fiber per slice making it zero net carbs, 35 calories per slice and 20 grams total of fiber. I am hoping this will help fill me up better and offer me the health protections that fiber has to offer without pushing up the scale. I am also trying to hit my protein goals as best as I can. It will be hard to judge how much this is helping with so many distracted days in the mix. I need a good stretch of days that I either can’t find, or I sabotage when I do come across them. However, I am going to give this a chance for a few months and see how I feel about it. Yesterday should have been good, but it wasn’t. I was so proud of myself all day until the monsters came out last night. I’d had enough protein and fiber to choke a chicken and while it may have helped the hunger a bit, it didn’t put a dent in the cravings. If only I had answers for that!

    11/21 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

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

    👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE

    Got permission to modify the challenge for fasting and physical activity. Thanks! @quiltingjaine

    STARTING FAST TIME: 7:02PM EST (started at 5:50PM EST, but didn't start fasting timer until 7:02)
    FASTING GOAL: 72H, Then 20:3
    ACTIVITY GOAL: 5-minute core workout, 1 hour workout for 8 days

    CAUTION FOR FASTING: I live a zero to minuscule carb life that helps with fasting. Taking in healthy-high calorie-nutrient dense meals and being well hydrated before a fast is important⚠️
    RND 278 (1)
    11/12 CORE✅ WORKOUT 1/8✅ Maintain 72 hour fast ✅
    11/13 CORE✅ WORKOUT 2/8✅ Maintain 72 hour fast ✅ - Felt some hunger for a very short time while studying, then it went away. Was able to study efficiently and with mind clarity. Consumed nothing but water yesterday (forgot to make notes yesterday). Today I had some tea with lemon juice. There are studies showing that lemon juice doesn’t break a fast why I add it to tea. It's good for vitamin C and masks the flavor of some herbal teas. If anyone is wondering the hunger went away before I had tea :) I drink tea regularly for health benefits. I try to drink it daily and missed yesterday.
    11/14 CORE✅ WORKOUT 3/8✅ Completed 72 hour fast 🙌 - AM, drank tea with no lemon. Broke fast after 550PM with high fat meal and protein. This fast went well going to do a 42H Fast instead of 20:3* (Typo in last post). Thanks @quiltingjaine, this challenge is really helping :)
    11/15 CORE✅ WORKOUT 4/8*(Typo in last post)✅ Maintain 42 hour fast ✅ - No hunger. Tea with no lemon.
    11/16 Completed 42 hour fast🙌 - Today is rest day for working out👟 AM, drank tea with lemon🍵 Broke fast with fat🧈 and protein🥩 Next fasting goal is 46 hours⏳
    11/17 CORE✅ WORKOUT 3/8❌ Maintain 46 hour fast ✅ - Completely forgot about workout, managed to get 15-20 minutes in this evening. Tea with lemon🍵 No hunger
    11/18 CORE✅ WORKOUT 4/8✅ Completed 46 hour fast🙌 - AM - tea no lemon🍵 Broke fast with fat 🧈 and protein🥩 Next goal 69H fast⏳
    11/19 CORE✅ WORKOUT 5/8✅ Maintain 69 hour fast ✅ - AM drank tea with no lemon🍵 No hunger, but thinking of how to make salmon when I break the fast🐟
    11/20 CORE❌ WORKOUT 5/8❌ Maintain 69 hour fast ✅ - Drank tea with lemon🍵 Today was a busy day and didn’t make it to workout. Have been making sleep a priority and do not workout past a certain point in the evening. Looking forward to breaking the fast tomorrow :)

    Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided yesterday to start back up and it was perfect timing with a new round starting today.

    11/12- 166 (75.3 kg) Stayed within my goals today. Off to a good start.
    11/13- 163.8 (74.3 kg) Water weight whoosh. If I end the round at this weight or close to it, I will be quite pleased.
    11/14-162.8 (73.8 kg) Okay, we'll see how turkey tacos I had for dinner tonight affect this tomorrow. And debating BLTs for dinner tomorrow.
    11/15- 163.2 (74 kg) I typically don't feel bloated in my day to day, but today I do. My pants feel tight, my bra is bothering me. And I did make BLTs tonight. Curious to see if I'll see more of a jump up on the scale in the next couple days or what. But so far 5 days of staying on track with my goals. I do think I need to drink more water, so I'm going to be mindful of that.
    11/16- 162.4 (73.7 kg) I woke up feeling rested this morning for the first time in a while, so instead of sleeping in, I joined my husband and the dog on their morning walk. Then we had a relaxing day at home and went on a second walk this afternoon. It was a good Saturday.
    11/17- 162.4 (73.7 kg) I went on two walks again today despite being given the opportunity to bow out. Proud of myself because it was in the upper 30s/lower 40s (~3-6°C), very windy and raining, and I do not like being cold and wet. I just bought snow pants a couple weeks ago, and wow does it make a big difference. Way better than just jeans or jeans with leggings underneath. My legs stayed comfortable and warm. I should have spent the money on a pair years ago.
    11/18- 161.4 (73.2 kg) I was craving popcorn tonight, made myself some healthypop and... it just wasn't good. Tried adding nacho cheddar seasoning, still blah. Added more, and it wasn't doing it for me. So instead of powering through just because it was in my bowl, I threw the rest out.
    11/19-160.8 (72.9 kg) Today started so promising for work then got busy and fell apart in the last half hour, so I got off an hour late which put me solidly into rush hour traffic. Then I took the dog out for 45 minutes, felt really chilled, dying for junk food and made not great choices for dinner. I had waffles, barbecue chips and M&Ms. It fit within my calories and I feel full, but not in a good way. I have a feeling I won't feel satiated soon and I'll be hungrier tomorrow. Tomorrow's a new day to make different choices.
    11/20- 159.8 (72.5 kg) Today's forecasted snow stayed rain today which helped the commute home. And it slowed to a light mist for the dog's walk tonight and picked up just as we ended. Thank you mother nature!
