    Time to get back to reality before this temporary visit to the Land of Plenty turns into a permanent residence. We are going to see Wicked this afternoon. DH will purchase a large popcorn and coke. I will wish I had some, and probably cave. I need to work on a better plan…

    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!
    Less than 6 weeks left in his year...

    Opening Comments
    Round 278 - I changed scales, which immediately bumped me up 1 lb. If I factor in that change, I probably did break even for the round and my brain needs to hear that!🙂 Round 279 with Thanksgiving in the middle. I will focus on all the other days and not worry about that one day. There are a few things that will increase my calories on that day > Homemade macaroni and Cheese and pecan pie. The jury is still out on whether I attempt my Mom's home made rolls.

    I am considering rejoining a gym. I have my workout space in the basement that's adequate, but I miss the leg workouts on the machines and I'm finding that my intensity is waning. I looked into Planet Fitness (was a member pre-covid), then I looked at another exercise center (was a member there maybe 8 years ago) (with a women only weight room , with fitness classes and jacuzzi). To my delight, because I am considered a senior, the cost of the exercise center is the same for the PF multiple club membership!!! The exercise center is about 7 additional minutes away, but I think I'm good with that!!!

    So here we go last week of 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🚶🏽

    11/28 DNW ~
    11/29 DNW ~ Wednesday prepping for Thanksgiving. Many untracked tastings :)
    11/30 DNW ~ I'm sure I'm not where I want to be.... Thanksgiving was great. I didn't overdo it but I still ate lots of foods that I don't eat on a regular basis, including homemade rolls and pecan pie! It was all good and worth it...now back to regular programming!
    12/1 DNW ~ Head in sand.... onward

    @Chapter_3 ~ I am in denial and refusing to face the scale for just that reason. I'm actually in a good mindset right now after the holidays and I want to keep it there. As you know, it's just temporary, probably just water retention from additional sodium. Hang in there!

    @capewrathultra ~ I hope you change your mind and continue with us. Each round is a new opportunity, there will be ups and downs. And this time of year is particularly challenging. Hope to see you in round 280.

    @blueberries59 ~ you said it very well!!




    @itladyee @quiltingjaine Thanks! I looked for the Round 280 post, but can't find it.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 192.0

    11/22 -191.2- (Trend weight -191.7-)

    11/23 -189.2- (Trend weight -191.4-)

    11/24 -186.4- (Trend weight -190.9-)

    11/26 -191.4- (Trend weight-191.0-)

    11/27 -191.8- (Trend weight-191.3-)

    11/28 -DNW- (Trend weight-DNW-)

    11/29 -192.4- (Trend weight-191.6-)

    11/30 -193.0- (Trend weight-191.7-) I’m very surprised by this jump. I thought yesterday went very well. Thanksgiving Feast today with all of the family. I got the last of the drywall dust mess that covered EVERYTHING on 3 floors of this house completely done by 11:00 last night. I ate well and burned a ton of calories so I’m confused. I gained 3.8 lbs this week. For the entire month of November I’ve gained 2.4 lbs. Not a good month. Oh, and here comes December! Tomorrow will not end with a good weight due to my Thanksgiving dinner today. I’m not sure if I should weigh anyway which would give me an unfair advantage during the next 10 days or wait one extra buffer day to report my weight. I’ll decide in the morning I guess.

    12/01 -194.2- (Trend weight-192.0-) Well, here is the expected gain after our family Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. I really didn’t feel like I ate very much as I got full pretty quickly. However, there are so many starches / carbs that I’m just not used to having all at once. Hopefully some of this will flush out. December will be tough because I have to travel so much, every time I need to shop for Christmas. Living in a very remote rural area is beautiful but very inconvenient at times, especially this time of year! We are expecting 4 more inches of snow today but I won’t complain. A town about 60 miles from me just got a record snowfall of 25” on Friday beating a record that had been held since 1942. Winter is officially here in my neck of the woods! See you next round.


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

    @capewrathultra You are braver than I! We ended up with a mess a few (several?) years ago when two of us posted the new round. All is well though. Thank you for doing that and for not jumping ship. 🚢

    That's always a possibility, especially if someone posts it wrong, as MFP doesn't allow you to delete anything. Glad I didn't screw it up!

    @capewrathultra Don't be so hard on yourself! You were doing fine up until Thanksgiving, and all of us are up a couple pounds due to that, so whatever you do, don't quit. Move on with us to the next round and give yourself time to figure out what works for you. I can tell you one thing I know for certain from personal experience: beating yourself up and walking away will only work opposite to your goals.

    SW RND 279—156.4
    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. :-)
    11/30 157 Not a good eating day for me, and it showed.
    12/1 156.2 Well, after yesterday’s higher than I wanted weigh in, I eeked out a tiny loss for the round. I’ve gotten more serious about exercise the last couple days and hope to continue that focus in the next round. I've not been working as hard on any of this the last couple months, and it shows in a VERY slow, almost stalled, weight loss result. Time to get back to work! See y'all in the next round when @quiltingjaine posts it. :-)

    Thanks, @UTMom81! "Tough love" (even self-imposed) works for me. It gets my juices flowing, and pushes me in the right direction. I've actually went in the wrong direction the whole month since returning to MFP. Again, not MFP's fault. A lot going on in my world, and I need to keep focused on my weight goals. I'm expecting a turnaround in December. Fingers-crossed!
