Back again. Starting the month out with a bit of inflated number due to way to much alcohol, food from Thanksgiving, eating out the last couple of days, and had a 5 day weekend with my family. Hopefully once I get back to work on Monday it will drop off fairly quickly. My lowest in November right before Thanksgiving was 137.7 and I am hoping to be back in the 130's by the end of the first week.

May gained: 1.1 pounds (149.3)
June lost: 3.4 pounds (145.9)
July lost: 2.2 pounds (143.7)
August lost: 0.1 pounds (143.6) maintained
September lost: 2.7 pounds (140.9)
October lost: 0.2 pounds (140.7) maintained
November lost: 3 pounds (137.7) day before Thanksgiving 11/28


01 Dec: 144.4 uuugghhh
02 Dec: 145.7 ok back on track!
03 Dec: 142.2 it's amazing what a little bit of water and a low carb day will do for your weight. Down 3.5 pounds, 4.5 to go to get back to where I was before my Thanksgiving holiday!
04 Dec: 140.8 only 3.1 left to get back down
05 Dec: 139.4 have been staying on track and back in the 130's. Only 1.7 pounds left to get rid of.
06 Dec: 140.2 Cowboys played last night. Beer and pizza and a big LOSS!
07 Dec: 137.7
08 Dec: 138.8
09 Dec: 138.8 Not to bad for a Monday.
10 Dec: 138.3 should have been a little lower, but completely ok with this
11 Dec: 138.3 I guess I am figuring out maintenance. Would like to be just a couple of pounds lower, but not unhappy right now
12 Dec: 136.8 may be a tad dehydrated, but I liked what I saw on the scale this morning.
13 Dec: 137.7 Christmas party tonight so going to try and keep it together
14 Dec: 138.8 another party for the fights tonight
15 Dec: 137.7 football and relaxing
16 Dec: NW forgot when I got up this am
17 Dec: 142.2 way to many parties and a 3 day weekend. Back to work
18 Dec: 139.9 well I have not lost an ounce this month, but I seem to be maintaining pretty well. It's been a rough month!
19 Dec: 138.9 I am just trying to get through this month, lol
20 Dec: 140.5
21 Dec: 139.9
22 Dec: No weigh in. totally spaced it
23 Dec: 144.5 to may restaurant meals and way to much alcohol at parties. This month has been a killer for me.
24 Dec: Tons of family and food - no weigh in
25 Dec: Christmas Day and never weighed
26 Dec: 144.7 well that wasn't pleasant, but very expected.

01 Dec: 67.6/149 This month will be interesting
02 Dec: 68/149.9 All from the weekend 😐 hopefully today’s efforts change the direction.
03 Dec: 67.2/148.2 🙂 TOM
04 Dec: 67.5/148.8 calories have been ok.
05 Dec: 66.7/147
06 Dec: 66.7/147 Cal’s ok, food TERRIBLE
07 Dec: 66.5/146.6 Cal’s ok food 😔
08 Dec: 66.3/146.1 Cal’s ok food 😔 went shopping for better food so hopefully I eat it!
09 Dec: 66.1/145.7 Cal’s ok, moved treadmill from HOT garage to air conditioned office. Haven’t been using it for weeks 🥵 no excuse now!
10 Dec: 66 /145.5 Cal’s ok food good
11 Dec: 65.9/145.3 Cal’s a bit over, had a frozen drink guesstimated what I thought was a generous calorie amount got home and looked up real Cal’s 😱😱
12 Dec: 65.9/145.3 Cal’s a bit over yesterday
13 Dec: 66/145.5 Cal’s a bit over yesterday. Last day of school for the kids before 7 weeks off. I love school holidays but I think it will make things harder, have a plan so hoping to prove myself wrong 😃
14 Dec: 65.7/ 144.8
15 Dec: 65.7/144.8
16 Dec: 66.1/145.7 🧐 it’s super hot here and I’ve puffed up again. Had to loosen my watch, belt and bra so I thought the number would actually be higher! Also went over in calories yesterday but not by much.
17 Dec: 66.1/145.7 still hot, 4 hours sleep last night. Someone else on here mentioned they gain around ovulation... I have never noticed before but looking back over last three months, I have gained about 1Kg/2.2lbs in the same three days leading up. If it does it next month I’ll be convinced it’s not a coincidence. Not sure if it’s a fluid thing or a bad food choice thing (that adds fluid) because I know that’s a problem around there for me. I dislike cooking and I always end up baking something like biscuits or cheesecake something high Cal’s. So interesting!! 😃
18 Dec:65.5
19 Dec:65.7/144.8 no excercise just spring cleaning (AKA impending visit from Mother in Law and Great Mother in Law 😏 not sure if that’s a thing) not too worried about numbers going up, still puffy.
20 Dec: 65.4/144.2
21 Dec: 65.1/143.5 want to be extra good the next few days so I can finish the year under 65 which is my pre having babies weight (9 years ago!)
22 Dec: 65.4/144.2
23 Dec: 65.1
24 Dec: 65/143.3
25 Dec:
26 Dec: 66/145.5 so much sugar 😳
27 Dec: 66/145.5 might be hard to get weight down by the end of Dec TOM is due right at end of month.

Family left yesterday afternoon, so back on track today.

🎄 Welcome to the minefield that is December 😂🤣😂😂🤣

Journey so far: Aug: -8.31 (a lot of this was holiday weight gained in July)
Sept: -4.71
Oct: -4.2
Nov: -2.2 (Strength workouts temporarily slowing progress)

OSW: 227 (Mar 2014)
CSW: 170.1 (1 Aug 2019)
DEC SW: 150
GW: Under 150

01 Dec: 150 Mo 09/12: 148.6 I made better choices yesterday, but have a Christmas celebration with my Monday Painters after lunch, so eating light the rest of the day.
Tu 10/12: 148.8 Phew! Not to bad. But this morning I am celebrating with my Craft Group. See what I mean about December being a minefield! 😂
We 11/12: 149.2 And there it is! I'm wearing my celebrations 🎉 but today I am shopping (lots of walking) anc chores at home so will avoid the goodies.
Th 12/12: 147.8 Yesterday I got in an extra hour walking in the unexpected sunshine after lunch. And had mostly healthy snacks. (Ate a ring doughnut at my evening crochet group, but still over 600+ Of a deficit, even after that.) After almost 5 years working at changing my previous bad habits, hoping this is my new normal. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Fri 13 Dec: 148.8 One or two social events.
Sat 14 Dec: 148.6 Normal fluctuations 😂 Next week is relatively clear of social events, so there will be less temptation to stray.
Sun 15 Dec: 147.2 Stayed on track yesterday. Spent most of the day doing prep on sleeping arrangements for family visiting over Christmas. Our outdoor lights are up and working.
Mon 16 Dec: 148.6 On track. Normal fluctuation.
Tue 17 Dec: 148.2 Under maintenance, although we did have afternoon tea with BiL and SiL, who are heading stateside on Friday for Christmas up near the Canadian border. Our 5 yr old Great niece is learning to ski.
Wed 18 Dec: 147.4
Thu 19 Dec: 147.8
Fri 20 Dec: 149.2 4 days of festive social events have an inevitable effect. It's so difficult to accurately log food provided by others. At least I have nothing now until family arrives on Christmas Eve.
Sat 21 Dec: 149.4
Sun 22 Dec: 149.2 holding steady.
Mon 23 Dec: 149.6 Visiting DED and grands yesterday. Granddaughter just flew in from Oxford on Friday. Her 25th birthday was on the 14th, so we celebrated.
Tue 24 Dec: 149.8 Family celebrations begin today.
Wed 25 Dec: DNW
Thu 26 Dec: 149.6: I'm in shock! Fully expected to be up this morning. I tracked and was way over calories. I didn't go mad, but I ate lots of samples of treats/snacks which family had prepared/donated to the festive table, so expected high sodium would retain liquid. I did drink almost a litre of water before bedtime, so maybe that helped. Expecting tomorrow will show a rise, but very pleased that I have stayed more or less stable for the first Christmas in quite a few decades. Family still here today, but we have a walk planned. However, I reckon I can remove any overage before 31st.

So I went off track and regained all lost weight so I am starting again and this time I mean business!


Starting weight: 63.4 kg
Current weight: 63.4
Goal weight: 55kg by May 2020 (ultimate goal weight 53/55 but with fat percentage of around 22%)
December goal: 62kg - modified to 61kg - modifying further to a cautious 60.5kg - modifying again to 59.9! - reached 59.7! Yay! Not sure if I should set 59.5 as a goal, with all the holiday parties happening. We will see. I am happy as of now.

01 Dec: 63
02 Dec: 63.2
03 Dec: 63.4
04 Dec: 63.4
05 Dec: 63.4
06 Dec: 63.5
07 Dec: 62.7 (cardio)
08 Dec: 62 (cardio) (yay! Reached dec goal! New goal 61 kg for December)
09 Dec: 61.8 (cardio)
10 Dec: 61.8 (cardio)
11 Dec: 61.6 (cardio and a bit of abs)
12 Dec: 61.5 (cardio and some abs)
13 Dec: 61.1 (yay! I am away from home and found a scale so hope this change is not some variance because of the different scale and is still reflected in my own machine once I get home!)
14 Dec: 61.1 (yay! This is back in my own usual home scale! So happy! Tantalisingly close to my December goal!)
15 Dec: 61.3 (oops! I had it coming I guess. Ate heavy meals and snacked on greasy high sodium foods to boot! I spent an hour on the treadmill hoping to burn it but I guess it wasn’t enough! I will be good today!)
16 Dec: 61.2 (picking the heaviest of the three different weights my machine chose to show me this morning! But I am sure this is going down, I was really good yesterday with eating and exercise.)
17 Dec: 60.9 (yay! Met my new December goal! Cardio and abs yesterday and calorie deficit)
18 Dec: 60.8 (yay! Good food, cardio and abs)
19 Dec: 61.0 (well I knew this was coming, but I really enjoyed the food I had so I don’t regret it. I suppose once in a week I am entitled to treating myself, it is the holiday season after all! I will be good today and tomo we will see a drop, I am pretty sure!)
20 Dec: 60.6kg (yay! Being good with food watching, cardio and abs paid off)
21 Dec: 60.2kg (yay! New goal reached! Modifying my goal now! But, well, I did skip dinner and sleep off early. So hope this change is reflected in the scale tomo too!)
22 Dec: 60.1 (yay! Good food, cardio and abs. Limited sleep though)
23 Dec: 60.0 (yay! Delighted with this considering I had cake with lunch and limited cardio due to a foot injury)
24 Dec: 60.0 (I will take this. Controlling myself around chocolate and cakes as much as I can but not very successful frankly!)
25 Dec: 59.7 (yay! Reached newest dec goal! Ate loads of chocolate but offset by holding off on all other carbs and thus staying within calorie limit. We are off on a trip from today till Monday, so I don’t know if I can weigh in unless the hotel provides a weighing scale. We will see the weight once I return on 30th, in case I don’t have a scale.)
26 Dec: 60.1 (in hotel scale. Well deserved raise. Last night party was way too heavy, I have gone so overboard and did not even count. Well it is ok for a day in the holidays! Got to live a little!)
27 Dec: 60.7 (in a moody little hotel scale. I ate above my calorie limit but certainly within maintenance so maybe this isn’t the most reliable number out there. Anyways I will stay within calorie budget today for sure and check the trend tomorrow.)
28 Dec: 60.4 (pretty sure now that the hotel scale is not to be trusted! We will know the right number on Monday)
