Ten Days Round 285

1/21 - I've made it to the next round without loosing the thread. For me that's an accomplishment in itself.

My goals for the round were already simple. Life this week boarders on overwhelming. Cutting back on simple is the easiest way for me to complete this round.

My 3 Daily Challenges:
- Weigh
- Record meals
- Post this challenge

Best Wishes to Everyone!]

Ended Round 284 at 151.2lbs, down 0.2lbs

1/21 - 151.0 ⬇️0.2lbs

1/22 - ☑️Weigh ✔️Record ✅Post

Up a bit (0.4lbs), which is no surprise. I have been eating what's easy which tends to be inflammatory as well. As long as I tic these three boxes daily everything will fall back into place.

1/23 - ✔️ Check on all three challenge goals. The scale is up again by 0.2lbs. Variations are to be expected since I don't weigh at the same time and under the same conditions.

Wishing all of us success.

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.

1/21 136.0 DH and I have been going to the gym together- 3 days a week - yesterday my legs were so sore I could hardly stand up. We aren’t doing anything crazy but I have hardly had any activity since covid. I’ve reinstated my eating plan and hope for some NEGATIVE progress (as in minus some ounces)!
1/22 135.5 Today we have appointments across town with the retina specialist
1/23 136.5 Perhaps due to dilation drops yesterday? I know I get a migraine like headache every time. Today we’re going to Jessie Rae’s BBQ. Taking widow neighbor.

I gained 0.3 lbs avg last round. This would be okay with me if I were at maintenance weight. I am not! A long long way away.
My goal is to restart my journey using habits I know that work.

@desolate_angel I'm sorry about the ornament, and I think you're well within your rights to contact the seller. Disappointing that it doesn't look like your doggies when you commission art to look exactly like them. Having the colors match shouldn't really be that big of an ask for any artist.

@Chapter_3 love the habit tracker!

@UTMom81 good luck with the home clearing. Does not sound like a fun process at all.

@Skyleen75 haha, quite a revelation to realize your amount of movement decreases in the winter. Makes sense but hard to adjust to! What do you do in the spring and summer? Garden?

@swimbikerun_repeat sounds like a fun celebration but Mexican has that effect on me every time! Your gain isn't too much when accounting for water retention from the salt

@Slimmersixties hang in there! This seems like the season for overindulging.

@the_reflex how are you scoring your progress? What are the factors in your score?

I'll nip it in-the-butt, today. I should have gained a LOT more!

Day, Weight, Comment
1/21 - DNW
1/22 - 167.2
1/23 - 166.6 - A nice drop after behaving for a couple days now. I'm very bloated lately so it's nice to see a little drop letting me know something is moving along in the body. Hopefully the rest of the bloating will soon follow along. Been meeting macros, over 100oz water, steps, and walking the dogs, despite the cold. I'm trying to keep positive that this is all working out and not being so down on it. I can't track TOM as accurately as before now that I'm not on the pill's schedule but my Samsung Health app estimates it in 6 days and my body temperature is approaching that similar pattern just before TOM arrives so that may have an impact as well. We shall see! Coach unfortunately has a stomach bug so our call to go over what my future will look like was cancelled. I'll have to reschedule when her calendar for February opens up since it's not showing any availability between now and the end of February. I also finally gave in and scheduled my dental appointment to get the loose filling fixed that has been absolutely terrorizing me for the past 2 or so months. Ugh, I hate being a responsible adult but I know once I get through the (seemingly) 10 million numbing shots it takes to fully numb me enough for filling work, I'll be thankful to have done it.

Previous Day's Comments

1/21 - Snow day here in Texas - an area we don't typically get snow. BF's city office was closed so, despite the gym saying it was open, I decided not to risk it. I don't know if there's ice under the snow and with these hills and twisty-turn roads, I'm not willing to risk it. I slept on my shoulder wrong and can barely move my left arm and today was an upper day so it all works out well that I'd be missing the gym anyway to let my body rest and recover. Meals are prepped, fire in the fireplace. I'm working (WFH permanently) so after my meeting in a few minutes, I'll migrate to the living room to work with BF's company and a fire (: Sorry I missed the end of last round - I had forgotten our GodDaughter's Cheer Competition was this weekend so we were out of town. Her team, despite several absent members due to sickness, qualified to move forward in the competition!
1/22 - There was a small threat of ice overnight and below-freezing temps so I decided to play it safe by skipping the gym. I will need to do some kind of workout at home today to make up for it. Three days of missed workouts (plus the 2 days of the weekend) is simply too long. I'm glad, though, since our driveway still had ice on it which means some of the roads likely did, too, and it's very dark out when I head to the gym so very little warning of road conditions as I drive. I really dislike being off my routine - Monday was a holiday so I had no routine. Yesterday, with no gym and BF being home from work, I spent the day in the living room with the fireplace going with him. I got work done, but I didn't get a makeup workout in. Fortunately, I was able to sneak out when the wind died down at the warmest part of the day, just before dinner, for a walk with the dogs. It had been 2 days without walks, we all needed it. Today I'm doing a bit better with routine since I woke up with BF and started on my water intake. I'm right on schedule for where I'd normally be on a workout day - I'm really trying hard. I managed to hit my goal of over 100oz but missed my overall goal of a gallon (128oz) by a good margin. Today will be better. Lunch and dinner has been logged. I have 12g protein (+/-10g) and 48g carbs (+/- 10g) left. I'm within my fat buffer but I have 0-12g left to stay within my buffer for snacks. I can do this!
