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 to start back up the day before Round 278 started.

SW RD 279: 160.3 (72.7 kg)
11/22- 160.4 (72.8 kg) Late night for me. Just got home from seeing Transiberian Orchestra. This is our 3rd or 4th time seeing it. We wait 2-3 years between shows. I forget how loud concerts can be and wish I brought earplugs. But I had a really good time, nonetheless. I'm curious how a Taco Bell quesadilla for dinner and 11pm snack of pudding will affect tomorrow's weigh in. I'm still within calorie goal though.
11/23- 159.5 (72.3 kg) Sometimes I swear the scale works in strange ways. I'm not going to sweat it. Today was a very lazy, totally sedentary day. Tomorrow I'm going to get my butt up and join my husband on the morning dog walk.
11/24- 159.4 (72.3 kg) We went on a mini driving adventure today after walking the dog. We both had gas station snacks for breakfast on the way, and even with a late lunch and a big bowl of zuppa Toscana for dinner, I'm feeling slightly hungry.
11/25- 159.8 (72.5 kg) One day down this week. Hoping to work less than a full day on Thanksgiving.
11/26-159.3 (72.3 kg) I cannot believe how fast this year is going by. Only a couple days from Thanksgiving and less than a month to Christmas! I'm going to decorate my tree this weekend.
11/27- 159.6 (72.4 kg) Tonight was the second ground beef and pasta dinner in a a row. A bit heavy but warm and filling on a cold evening. Happy Thanksgiving Eve.
11/28- 159.5 (72.3 kg) 5.5 hour day at work, home a little after 2 PM and able to go on a late afternoon walk by the river with husband and dog before a nontraditional dinner of New York strip and scalloped potatoes and watched GoldenEye (Bond movie semi-Thanksgiving tradition).
11/29- 158.7 (72 kg) I've had really poor sleep the past two nights and feel like I woke up at the wrong point in my sleep cycle today and yesterday. I'm hoping for a mentally relaxing weekend.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 279 (my 209th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

This round I’m going to join @Chapter_3 in in a BHAG of 1 pound a round to the end of the year, i.e. to weigh 138 or under. I need to shake myself up cuz only 3-5 days per round staying on the waggon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be. 4 pounds would really get me on my way; I want to stay strong, walk the walk as well as talk the talk! & make the round a successful one.
So, goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies - (carried over from last few rounds)
• to weigh less at the end of the round than the start & a pound is my small BHAG for this round
• be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.

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.

Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.

SW RND 279 141.8
11/22 141.8 (trend 142.5) 9.03 miles walked, footpaths were quite dodgy in places with the ice, but just walked these sections gingerly:) Feeling happier in myself now that I’ve made this commitment, hoping to stick with it & keep this mind set, I know as the festive period gets closer it will become more difficult with all the various food-based meeting ups, so need to make the earlier rounds and not “festive gathering” days really count.
11/23 DNW – luckily yesterday the roads had cleared of snow & ice for us to tow the caravan out for a weekend away in Delamere Forest. Managed a 6 mile walk in the forest before darkness descended. Stayed within calorie limit.
11/24 DNW – 5.26 miles clocked up; intermittent rain scuppered our plans! We drove to Chester, plan was to walk the city walls visiting both the castle & the amphitheatre, but had to abandon quite quickly due to Storm Bert rain & wind. We ended up Christmas shopping; it proved to be quite productive, most of the DGC’s presents purchased. Heavy rain, standing water & wind might make todays journey home a bit of a challenge.
11/25 141 (trend 142.1) numbers looking better 😊, but must not get complacent. Again, no structured walking due to the weather.
11/26 141 (trend 142) – 10.71 miles walked.
11/27 141.6 (trend 141.9) – 8.87 miles walked, out pounding the pavements at 7.30 am before meeting up with DSs for lunch, stuck to an omelette & undressed salad. I’ve started drinking hot water in this cold weather and it really is not bad!!


11/28 140.6 (trend 141.8) I’m hoping that yesterday’s number was a natural fluctuation & not todays!! 7.52 miles walked.
11/29 141.8 (trend 141.8) – that is the high salt content of last night’s Indian meal; ate light the rest of the day. Picked DB up from the airport, here from Turkey for a few days, so quite a few social events imminent. No structured walking.
11/30 141 (trend 141.7) 9 miles walked, pushed lots of water.

11/30 170.4 I did think this would have dropped a little bit! My calories were good but I ate a very late dinner. Maybe not the best food choice because I waited too late in the day to eat. I’m going to prep a big salad early today so I that I stay on track once it’s dark.
Today we’ll go cut down our tree. I love, love, love decorating the house for Christmas. My weakness is eggnog and holiday spirit! I literally will be battling a ten pound egg nog weight gain for the next few weeks.
After staying under 170 for so much of the round I am motivated to give it my best today and finish this round strong.
Thankful for JGMTD’s!!!! If it was “just give me fourteen days I might say- drink the egg nog today, you have four more days to drop the gain”

11/24 ⚖️ discouraging even though I’ve stayed on plan. I have a lot of stress (cortisol) & my body is retaining everything. P:E 1:1 P90g. Your posts are encouraging! Today I will 🚶‍♀️, decompress, take time to smell the roses & 🏋️‍♀️.

11/25 I started my walk yesterday & decided to turn around because of foot pain on pavement. It’s amazing how my foot is not as impacted on a clay tennis court vs hard surface. Thinking of taking the trail @ local park.
🏋️‍♀️45 min 💤8 P:E 1:1 Pg 120 under calories.

DGS is in for a morning basketball camp M through W this week. I am the chauffeur and looking forward to it!

11/26. 131.0 this feels right. I’m more relaxed. Systems finally functioned*** (will note below). Good day 💦yesterday. Only 🚶‍♀️5k but 🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️45 min. 1:1 Pg 90. 🎾 today & will finish shopping & begin prepping for Friday. (We host family Friday since everyone is scattered about Thursday!) Going with a Tapas /Spanish theme…. 14 adults /six children.

*** Discovery: I can honestly say that over this year + I have not gone off the rails… I’ve indulged a teeny bit here and there, but that’s about it… I feel like I have developed & worked to ingrain heathy eating & movement/mobility choices/patterns and possess a true North.

What I discovered since Friday is that my IBS is back. We experienced a very stressful family situation & my body retained everything & had a full total system shutdown. The shut down was not from something I ate. It wasn’t a bug! It wasn’t a virus! It was an emotional experience. I’m realizing that my 2 to 3 lb daily fluctuations could be purely emotional - manifesting in a physical shut down. I’ve been puffy for a week and retaining everything, but little difference in food.

Another difference that has taken place recently is my walking has simply disappeared since I hurt my foot… It’s 12 days now. Walking clearly helps my digestive system stay on track. It gives me time to think and breathe… Pray, and be with nature.

So I’m sharing my hypothesis:
Daily fluctuations may not have anything to do with food intake… it could simply be a hitch in bodily systems - caused by emotions, stress, lack of sleep, etc. So I have finally realized that the scale is not only a reflection of what I have eaten… It’s a reflection of my entire being.

Mind, body, soul are intimately connected. I hope sharing this may help someone. (Disclaimer – I am not an expert!!!)

11/27 ⚖️ 130.4 ⬆️⬇️🎢🎢🎢🥹
Are we ready? The 🎢 is real!
🎾 this morn & DGS for lunch… full speed after that!
Yesterday: fuel on plan. 1:1 90Pg
🎾🤸🏼🚶‍♀️7k. Slowly increasing steps. Foot not 💯 but manageable.

Coach @ DGS basketball 🏀 camp: “You don’t get good watching TV. You get good sweating.” Translation: Work for it! Onward!

🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸🦃

11/28 130.6. Typo yesterday (was 130.4) - was surprised when the scale reflected ⬆️.

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m proud to be 🇺🇸 and am thankful to live & worship freely. God bless America!

Enjoy this glorious day with family and friends or…. another way! Celebrate gratitude! (And if you’re dreading it, fake it till you make it!)!

(Will focus on protein today… Only 80g yesterday) 🎾🚶‍♀️8k 💤9~~🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️this morn.

11/29 DNW Yesterdays recap: 🏋️‍♀️30 min 🚶‍♀️7k. No tracking. I tasted a little bit of everything @ my son’s… No overindulging, but super high in carbs. I give myself a “B-” A simply wonderful visit!
Today’s our big day, hosting 20… I’ll check in tomorrow!

11/30 DNW “D-” only because I could have stopped with one dessert and one glass of wine. At least I didn’t have three of each. (Hence, a D- and not a flat out F) Family dynamics couldn’t have been better! (Was sweating it out there for a little while… blended families aren’t the easiest). My DS & his fiancé announced a baby on the way… after a four -year engagement there will finally be a wedding in a few weeks. (😀). Agree with @_JeffreyD_ that there’s no reason to ⚖️ just for the obvious, so I will finish 💪🏻 & ⚖️ tomorrow!
Today: 💦🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️🙏

11/22 157 Weight was creeping up the last 5 days of last round. Went out to eat last night and the food was delicious. But, I’ve got to get a grip on things again and stop the creep. This is a dangerous time of year for me, and I know it! “Danger, Will Robinson!”
11/23 156.8 I did well yesterday and hoped for a bigger drop this morning. Patience, I guess.
11/24 156 That’s better. Going to see Wicked tonight at the theater, so dinner will be popcorn. Have to manage the rest of the day to allow for that, but I’m looking forward to the movie! Will focus on high protein the rest of the day. Will also be beginning the Thanksgiving baking today, so…wish me luck!
11/25 155 My plan for the movie worked out good. Ate only high protein breakfast yesterday, a few nuts and bolts I had made in the afternoon, drank a protein shake right before getting in the car, and then I only ate a little popcorn at the movie. If you have NOT yet seen Wicked, it is absolutely amazing! Feels like you are at live theater, which I LOVE. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
11/26 156.8 Made sausage balls. Need I say more? Lol
11/27 155.8 That’s a little better because I found my self-control again yesterday even though I made pecan pies and blueberry cobbler by request. The sausage balls are in the fridge where they don't tempt me like they did cooling on the cookie racks. Just need to hold things in check during the next few days. Need to continue to get in my walks each day like I've been doing lately. That would be the one thing I would add to @judefit1 's refrigerator list: Move it like your life depends on it! (because my future quality of life does!)
11/28 156 Happy Thanksgiving! I enjoyed a few of the holiday treats yesterday, but maintained control and balanced out the calories throughout the day. Got in three different exercise sessions—morning workout which was cut a little short by company coming down, a good walk in the afternoon, then before bed yoga. It was a good day!
11/28 157.2 I started to not weigh this morning, but thought better of it. Thanksgiving was a wonderful day with family from here and afar, and a 1.2 lb gain is something I can manage. I have 3 days to get back to a loss for this round, so that will be the goal. I didn’t overeat yesterday, no stuffing of the face and tummy, just ate higher calorie and carb foods than usual. Will focus on protein, water, and activity today.
11/29 155.8 That’s better! Got in a walk and a rowing session yesterday with attention to protein and water. I’m not still dealing with company though like many of you— just leftovers. I managed to only eat one small serving of dessert and we had sent all of the Mac n cheese and corn home with DD. We have booked a trip to NYC in January to see Wicked on Broadway, so I have a warm but form-fitting dress planned which is providing a little extra motivation right now. :-)

@quiltingjaine : what a wonderful family picture! So happy your DD is doing well post-surgery- that's no fun!

@Skyleen75 : you are so right!! 14 days and I'd be screwed (and give up!), 10 days keeps me in check, especially between now and Christmas- I love this month the best of all, decorating and shopping and- yes- eggnog! So, thank you for being here and reminding me to keep it all in check!
