    Hi, I'm Charissa, losing the battle but still fighting the war!

    Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024! 
    I'm gearing up mentally and physically for 2025
    With 3 weeks left, I am focusing on reinforcing good habits and introducing a few more to take me into the new year.
    Opening Comments
    I'm ending another year NOT where I want to be, actually slightly higher  (right now)and that's not a good thing.
    BUT ~ I fear to think where I might be had I just thrown in the towel completed.
    My goal for the remainder of 2024 is to get to my starting weight for 2024, and that will be two years in a row, which is a wash.
    Putting all into perspective - maintaining is a WIN
    In the last 27 years, I have
    * Lost 4 times  (2 were in the last 5 years, which answers the question of what if I didn't even try!)
    * Maintained 2 times
    * Gained 21 times

    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

    12/12 DNW
    12/13 227.7 ~ urgh.... late night snacking, albeit popcorn, is the culprit. My mind is already looking to 2025 and that's not good. And it's cold too....hibernation....with comfort foods!! NOOOOOOOOOO!
    12/14 DNW ~ it's not going to be pretty. Have a Christmas party this afternoon...the good part is it's an afternoon party so maybe I can burn off some of the excess before going to bed.

    @UTMom81 ~ I hope you have a great time on your "date". You're going to look great!!!

    @Smoda61 ~ I have not heard of Habitnest but just made a note of it. Sounds like something I'd like. I'm not sure how much weight lifting could change over the years but I know I'm doing stuff that I did in my 20's :)

    @capewrathultra ~ it's got to be the holidays, too many temptations this time of year. Cookies, did someone say cookies??? :)

    @BLueberries59 ~ Great picture and that's a lot of skiiing!! Almost a full time job but much more fun I bet! :)

    @reshii_devi ~ Grinchy is a good characterization. I feel you but you are doing well. While I do enjoy the season (bittersweetly), I am anxious for the New Year and New Goals.

    @deepwoodslady ~ Take the win, tomorrow's another day :)

    I think I'm going to crawl under a rock and hide...lol

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

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

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    Comments pertain to previous day

    SW Rnd 281 135.5
    12/12 135.5 Pleased with holding my own after fried chicken thigh and a Fat Boy ice cream sandwich at community bingo. Skipped the sweetened Cole slaw and Hawaiian rolls a margarine. I made myself a low carb peppermint martini.
    12/13 136.0 Went out for pizza with friends. Their favorite for Chicago pizza in Vegas. The crust (which used to be my favorite part, was tasteless and thick) why didn’t I just eat the toppings like I did when I started LC/HF? Get your head on straight, Jaine!
    BTW, thank you for the tip of drinking hot water! I tried it last night and it was quite good! Now I can cut down on coffee which I just heard could go up $1/pound in the next few months!
    12/14 136.0 Just hanging in here. I’m okay with it.
    12/15 135.0 Great Greek yesterday-side salad and 5 oz of steak, 1 T NSA peanut butter in the evening
    12/16 135.5 1/2 “Italian” scramble - Egg, veg and cheese and 1 slice of not very sourdough for OMAD yesterday for brunch.

    12/15-191.4-(Trend Weight: 193.1)- Yay! The whoosh yesterday was real. Checked and double-checked. T-Minus 2.2 lbs. 2.8 lbs to go on my mini goal of 5 lbs in no set time frame. I’m in a wrapping frenzy and hope to get a lot more done today. A new contractor is coming in the morning for some tile work. A female which is unusual around this very small town. She will work in conjunction with my current contractor who doesn’t have a tile guy at the moment. I anticipate jealousy by my 1st contractor as she will be working around and behind his work (plumbing, drywall etc.). He has a lot of pride but is not as picky as she is. Pride goeth before a fall. I hope he will mind his manners!

    12/16-190.8-(Trend Weight: 192.8)- Wow what a busy week this is going to be. New female contractor here today which upset the old contractor so he won’t come until she’s done with the tile work in the bathroom! Insecure baby! Tuesday is the Christmas concert for the DGS I babysit which is local. Wed is general diabetes doctor appt for son & I just one town over so that won’t be more than a couple of hours. We have completely different clocks here in these small rural towns and the hands move much slower than regular clocks lol. Friday is an 8 hour round trip down to Ann Arbor Michigan for my oldest daughter’s Mammogram. We’ll be leaving at about 6 am. Saturday is DGS #3’s birthday. He is the one that is autistic like my son, and very hard to buy for but I happen to have a little experience in that department. In-between, the new contractor “Rachel” will come as often as I can let her. I continue to wrap presents everyday trying to catch up. I also am wrapping all the new stuff as UPS or FedEx arrives. I was happy with the scale today. A little more progress. I ate a little less than I’d planned as I started gagging on my dinner. It was food within plan that I love but sometimes that happens with me for an unknown reason. I’ve always considered it part of my eating disorders. I ended up eating something else later that felt “safe” and didn’t find I needed any snacks after that. T-Minus 2.8 lbs. 2.2 lbs to go on my mini goal of 5 lbs loss within no particular time frame.

    Hello again, JGMTD crew! I'm Amanda, 39F/5'2" in Virginia

    R281 SW: 127.8
    R281 GW: 126.8
    Planning to hit my 10-pound milestone at 127.4 this round!

    NS GOALS:
    🏃🏻‍♀️ 7/10 days
    🏋🏻‍♀️ lift 3/10 days
    🚫 no drinking 5/10 days
    📝 track food 7/10 days
    ✔️core workout 10/10 days
    (tracked for the previous day)

    Previous days' monologues:
    12/12 - 128.6 🏃🏻‍♀️✔️ Not off to a good start on or off of the scale, but I did do some speed work on the tread and did a great 10-minute core for runners Peloton class yesterday. With DH being so stressed I've offered to walk the dogs and take care of dinner every day this week, but I'm kind of regretting it today. I'm supposed to do my long slow run today as well. I'm getting a bit more visibility at work right now so I'm going to have to rearrange my training schedule so that these ever-increasing long runs are on the weekend after the holidays. I think I can ride out Thursdays for a couple more weeks, though. I like not having to sacrifice half of a weekend day with my boys to running. Shockingly, after we get back from Puerto Rico on the 7th, the race will be in only THREE WEEKS. Whoa. By then I'll be approaching tapering my training load. Time sure is speeding by. I was hoping to get to my weight loss goal by then and start bulking/lifting heavy but we shall see.

    12/13 - 128.4 🏃🏻‍♀️✔️ Today I will track again. I am REALLY out of the habit. I did my 8 mile run yesterday and slightly hurt my foot by stepping on some uneven terrain. It's already much better than last night, but I will skip my scheduled run today to make sure it's all better. I may go to the gym and row for some lower impact cardio and strength training. I usually just go to my basement, but I think they got a new sauna since I last went. This is all contingent on having a productive morning at work, so off I go!

    12/14 - 127.4 🏋🏻‍♀️✔️📝 Wahoo! 10 pounds down since my restart! Already not off to a great start with tracking today - had some odds and ends at the farmers market this morning and no proper breakfast. Planning to pull it together to avoid total upheaval of progress this weekend. Mostly a rest day today other than my core workout I’ll do shortly.

    12/15 - 128.6 ✔️📝 Just bouncing around here. Yesterday I ended up taking the dogs on a decent walk and doing a 5-minute core workout. I tracked everything and went over by about 800, so I know it wasn’t a pound’s worth of calories. Today I have to run for an hour. Will be on the treadmill since it’s icy and rainy today. Cookie baking day, too. I’ll have to be careful with the taste testing!

    12/12 - 128.6 🏃🏻‍♀️✔️
    12/13 - 128.4 🏃🏻‍♀️✔️
    12/14 - 127.4 🏋🏻‍♀️✔️📝
    12/15 - 128.6 ✔️📝

    12/16 - 128.4 ✔️🏃🏻‍♀️ Not bad for a Monday! It was an okay weekend. I drank more than I should have and had more carbs than I should have. Saturday I woke up already overwhelmed/overstimulated and just could not get myself out of it despite being fully self-aware about it. Ended in a petty fight with DH when I had a severe protein shortage. Yesterday was a much better day emotionally. Made sugar cookies with the kids and then had some quality time with girlfriends in the evening. Lots of discussion of enneagram types. I'd never found mine out but I am firmly a 9 (peacemaker, avoiding conflict at all costs until I explode LOL). Today is a run day and I'm going to do OMAD. Happy Monday, all!

    @pezhed don't get me started on enneagram....I am a 5 which means I will spend an hour on this again today. https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-5/
