Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 - 361.8 - Good news. My interview on Monday went well. Better news. I have applied for several positions with state (PA) and federal gov't. One position with the state just got back to me and said I scored a 100 on their test. Now I'm just a bit excited. Getting a job with either means I can use my time in the Air Force towards retirement. I'll have to work until I'm 72, but hey... it does take a huge weight off my shoulders. Bittersweet news... My mom has lived with me for the past 20+ years. We recently found out she has early stage dementia. But the state is saying she now qualifies for in-home health care. Which means that while I am at work, someone will be here most of that time. This would be another huge weight off my shoulders. I had to reset my scale and it jumped up. Not happy, but let's see how it goes for the next few day.

Welcome @penguinstuff I have found daily checking in here to be a good thing and since I am an extrovert, I need to interact with people. This has been a great source!

Thanks @GrandmaJackie for keeping us all going. Glad you got away for abit.

@kecward78 Congrats on the interview and so glad that your mom will have help while you work.

If you can't find yeast, you could try sourdough, it will take a while for it to get going but if looking long term, it is a great way to make bread. I use to do it all the time but my kids are grown up and I don't need all that bread. If you can't find a recipe online, let me know and I can get you one. If you don't want to feed it everyday, you can put it in the frig and feed it once a week.

Round 108

Please join us! Starting on 03/18 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 108
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

3/18 192.2 Happy to start with a loss! Am down and blue this morning—didn’t sleep well, my daughter was laid off with the rest of her company, so this at least is something nice to think about. Working hard to get exercise in and keep calories green. Can’t let the blues mess with progress...

Going to work out tonight and stay on track with my planned meals. Should be reflected tomorrow!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18- 177.8 - Definitely water weight but I'll take it. I had been feeling bad about gaining 5 extra pounds so I'm happy to see a slightly lower number. But need to keep chipping away otherwise it'll come back. I crushed my goals yesterday even though I felt a bit hungry after dinner I stayed strong lol. Today I promise myself to eat exactly as I planned again and also get on that elliptical for 30 minutes.

Oh yes, thank you. I would love to have a recipe that I can be sure of! I did finally find yeast. I only need yeast bread until Passover. Afterwards I'll be able to do the sourdough starter. I've never used it before. I don't need a lot of bread either, but I could share it. Things could get pretty rough in light of what's going on in the world.💕

FOCUS FOR THIS ROUND
Settling in my morning routine to include some exercise.

GOALS THIS ROUND
- RGW 132.0kg
- Morning exercise 7/10 days
R108 SW 132.6kg

Day | Weight | Change | Comment

03/18 | 132.6kg | No change | Busy day at work and had visitors all evening/night. My mum came in to town ready to babysit my son today, so I picked my sister up on my way home from work and brought her to my place as well so we could all catch up. Later, my dad also decided to come into town but he didn't arrive until about 9:30pm. So it was a late dinner and a few beers, I was expecting a rise on the scale. On the bright side, I didn't snack after work and I didn't have dessert. Got all my water in, but no exercise. Hubby out of town for a day trip today, will see how shopping goes - we normally do an online order that he can just pick up, but they have cancelled that service at the moment so that is frustrating. Stay safe, everyone!

03/19 | 132.7kg | +0.1kg | Made homemade pizzas on wrap bases last night, they were delicious and much lighter than the normal dough bases I make, but I think my sodium was very high as a result (perhaps I should choose a more healthy topping than pepperoni...). Only drank 2L of water too so that also wouldn't help. No exercise as I'm still trying to shake this cold off. Our supermarket shelves were bare when I went yesterday afternoon - no TP, soaps, potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, tissues, canned vegetables, flour, ready-to-make packet meals, cheese, milk...nothing. This was Wednesday afternoon. Our store gets one delivery a week, on Tuesdays. So I don't expect to find anything on the shelves for the next week, which is ridiculous. What's happening, as the cities stock out, people are coming further and further out into the rural areas to wipe our shelves clean too. Their stores get deliveries daily, but they can't wait that long. I don't know what I'm going to feed my one year old toddler by the end of the week, unless they happen to get another delivery in (which they have to pay the freight for, so they won't do that as they don't make enough profit to cover it). I really don't understand how people can be so selfish. It's not a production issue, there is plenty of product available, it's just distribution is the issue - they can't keep the deliveries up to the stores because the demand is increasing exponentially! People are literally panicking over nothing. They're panicking because the media is telling them to. I wish the media would just stop covering all of this and just report the statistics and whereabouts of the virus, nothing more. It's so stupid, people being worried that something is going to stock out, so they buy as much as they can, causing it to stock out. If everyone just stuck to their normal buying, it wouldn't even be an issue but no, people are selfish and greedy.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just extremely frustrated with people.

You are all important to me! Let's be diligent!

deepwoodslady · March 2020

@tiabirdie56 I live near the Amish community and there is usually Amish Friendship Bread starters floating around. It requires no yeast and you can add to make flavors such as banana nut, lemon, and others using pudding mixes too. Each batch you use some to make your bread and share some starters with others. You can keep some of the extras too for the different flavors. The starter recipe and instructions are probably online. If I find them or can get them from the local Amish, I will email you a link (or a recipe).

@zaraizzy1 Happy Birthday. With this challenge you are NEVER ALONE. We celebrate with you! I hope you will feel better soon also.

03/18 DNW Sorry I pretty much fell off the last round. I just didn't have the energy to track or journal. I'm just going to log weight for now. Between Mom's abdominal mass discovery and COVID-19, I'm losing track of life these days. I work in healthcare for a VERY large company. Things were starting to get stressful last week and then Monday the 16th all hell seemed to break loose. I don't have an option to work from home. We are still seeing patients but hopefully switching to telehealth visits, soon. Each day things seem to change. All elective surgeries are postponed. Specialists aren't seeing folks unless they are post-op. Radiology was still scheduling diagnostics but last I heard yesterday, therapy locations were postponing 2wks out. There is a limit of 1 visitor/support person per patient. Schools are closed. College commencements are cancelled. Dorms are even being cleared OUT. Restaurants, bars, and gyms were closed the other day. Today Governor DeWine announced closing barbershops, spas, salons, and BMV's. Banks are closing lobbies. Grocery stores are about the only things open.

Mom's biopsy came back as "Malignant Solitary Fibrous Tumor" so we met with her new surgical oncologist today. She has a rare type of sarcoma. It is slow growing. She is currently scheduled for exploratory surgery w/ possible bowel resection on April 21st but that could change. She is feeling pretty positive about what the surgeon had to say today. One day at a time!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/17 …..200.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/18 …..200.4….. Michigan has gone crazy. In 48 hours we have went from 2 cases to 110. 25 of those cases in the last 2 hours. I’ve cancelled all my non-essential dr appointments as requested by our governor. Business in my motel & cabins is down to zero as it’s not recommended for folks to travel. This morning we had our first Coronavirus death in Michigan-a male in his 50’s. They’ve closed the borders between Michigan and Canada as a joint effort between countries and that includes our Detroit entrance. If I put on the 24 hour news stations (CNN or FoxNews) it just about scares me to death. So I am going to try to check in and stay informed but use my time for some much needed projects that I should get done while I have the time. So far, no cases within 100 miles of me. That is how far our closest hospital basically is. I plan on going out only when I have to at this point. I am a high-risk individual-turning 60, diabetic and in remission with cancer. Better safe than sorry. For myself, but for all others as well. On the diet front, at this point I am just watching my quantities and putting more thought into the best course. Stay safe everyone!

@GrandmaJackie Thanks for setting us up again.

On general self-isolation. Did weekly grocery shopping today. Some shortages, but I got what I wanted. I always have a food store of dry foods, and we have stuff in the freezer. Northern Ireland has some supermarkets opening first 2 hours for over us 70s, so that helped the situation today

UK schools are closing indefinitely on Friday.
Take care everyone. 💕💖💕

General goal is to maintain below 150, and trend slowly downward to 145.
The downward trend is a bit slow for my liking, but at least it's is still downward.
Looking forward:

March: I need to focus on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
Cut down on eating between meals

Never give up! Never give in!
Back Story:

2018:
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019:
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!

2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
