03/24 - 147.3 - I am all over the place. Body is sore in almost every way. I'm exhausted (despite getting 10+ hours of sleep the last 2 nights) and just now settling in. I start my new job tomorrow. I'm hoping that it's just tomorrow and Thursday, off Friday (since engineers work 4-10s with every Friday off) so I can continue settling in and getting my life together. Finally got some water in as I found my water bottles (tap water tastes nasty -- there's a refill station just a block away from the house, but I have yet to get that done for BF and I. He ran out while kids were here). Haven't had a chance to read through posts yet so I hope everyone is doing well despite the virus madness! Hoping I can get back on a schedule with y'all by next round, but we shall see. Going to try to post when I can, but I'll be weighing and updating my Libra app daily (so long as I don't end up running late while I learn traffic and commute times)

Previous Day's Comments

03/18 - I honestly forgot about it. I have an ick "head cold" (not the virus, its from the sudden change with allergies to/from TX). Just a slightly stuffy nose and some mucus that's drained to my throat. Woke up with cotton mouth and chugged water before I ever even got out of bed. Forgot I was going to weigh in today until I got out of bed a few minutes later. Oops! I think I know where my claritin is and I'm going in search of it through the packing madness in my house. Definitely need to focus on my water, I'm so dehydrated. My skin and body are showing it (like giving myself a bloody lip this AM when it cracked from dryness). I'm sure it'll also help with hunger as yesterday I could NOT be satisfied. I'd eat and still be hungry. It was madness. Today should be better, especially with water. Going to make some tea, as well, for caffeine since I already packed and moved my coffee pot. Body slowly adjusting to less and less caffeine throughout this, at least. I will weigh in 2 more days and then hopefully have a chance next week sometime once I start unpacking. I'd like to see some progress during this round, but only time will tell...
03/19 - I was afraid of this... So many carbs and a lot of mindless eating (including ice cream which bloats me like no other) and barely any water. Last day of work, they're taking me to lunch then I turn in my stuff. Still can't find my office keys. I swear they're in my office but I don't remember where and today is my only opportunity to look. Oh well. BF wants to pack the Uhaul Saturday morning and take off right after. Going to be a long day (even longer for him since he drives in Friday evening, that's a quick turnaround). Lots of stress. Lots of cleaning to do today. Taking the last of the packed items down so I can clean. I'm not looking forward to the cleaning of my kitchen. Really not that bad, just hate it.
03/20 - DNW, DNP
03/21 - DNW, DNP
03/22 - DNW, DNP
03/23 - We left early due to the virus issues. Packed uhaul Friday night and left at 4am Saturday. Unpacked house today and got vehicles registered (they're due in Kansas in April). Drivers license office closed but my license is good to 2024 anyway. It's been craaaaazy. But I love it so much already. Moved my start date up to Wednesday instead of Monday to try to beat some of the madness and get me in their system to start working (utilities, I'm essential).

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.

03/20 | 133.1kg | +0.4kg | Wrong direction! It's just water weight, obviously, but I'm not sure what's caused it. Maybe sodium. I didn't drink enough water the last couple of days too. Feeling anxious and sad, and that leads to poor decisions for me usually. Hubby bought a lasagne for dinner last night, normally we would split it and eat half each, but I did split my share in half and ate it with a salad (bringing the leftovers for my lunch today with a salad). So that's another small win in the 'smaller portions' dinner plan.

03/21 | 133.3kg | +0.2kg

03/22 | 133.5kg | +0.2kg

03/23 | 133.5kg | No change | Sorry, I have been a bit AWOL this weekend. I just didn't get online to MFP at all, but I did keep weighing in. Weight still rising, which I know is from poor choices and overeating and anxiety and lack of sleep and no exercise whatsoever. I've gone off the rails with everything happening. I'm in Australia, and our state is just starting to close "non-essential" services as of today (so pubs, restaurants, clubs etc. - basically anywhere that people gather together because people have been ignoring the "social distancing" recommendations and have been packing into clubs and onto beaches). I'm not sure what this means for my work situation as I should be able to work from home, but it's all up in the air at the moment!

03/24 | 133.3kg | -0.2kg | Dropped some/all of the excess water weight so that's good. Still feeling extremely anxious, but went to bed at a good time last night and managed to get a good sleep which I think makes a huge difference. Still fighting this cold that doesn't seem to want to go away, will be interesting to see if I'm sent home from work or not. The policy is supposed to be to stay home if any symptoms, but last week I was told it was up to me. I asked my boss about working from home, he said it didn't sound promising but he'd ask. I'm waiting to hear back from him, but I'm really hoping it's a yes!

03/15 | 133.0kg | -0.3kg | That's looking better. I have been better about my snacking, but not getting as much water in with the cooler weather here. On the bright side, I've been approved to work from home, though I'm not sure when it's starting and to start with it's "on a short term basis to be reviewed" - which I take to mean they don't trust that I will actually do the work from home. Nice to know I'm so trusted after working here for 8 years!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 - 164.7 I'm really losing track of my goals. I haven't worked out in 9 days and I completely binged out on snacks yesterday. I'm definitely in a downward spiral. I usually track my weeks from Sunday through Saturday which means I'd keep on this path and start fresh on Sunday. That's too long. I am starting fresh today. I can do this. Please help hold me accountable!
03/19 - 164.9 Wrong direction. I did get a workout in and stayed relatively close to my calorie goal. Going to workout today and stay under my calorie goal!
03/20 - 164.9 Well I got a workout in however I went WAY over my calorie goal. On the bright side, I ate all the snacks in my house so I have no more temptations. As long as I break even this round I'll be happy.
03/21 - 164.0 Getting close to breaking even! My SO offered to go get me my fav snacks while practicing social distancing and renting and watching The Invisible Man at home. Guess what, I said no! I would not have been able to use portion control and it was past my eating period.
03/22 - 163.1 FINALLY back on track towards my goals!
03/23 - 162.3 Very proud. Trying to stay positive through this Pandemic.
03/24 - 161.4 Wow ... I remember just a couple months ago inching towards the 160's. Can't believe I'll reach the 150's soon!

TerriRichardson112 · March 2020

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!

deepwoodslady · March 2020

Update in Michigan: We are in a mandated stay-inside until April 14th (at least). It is not that the governor hope there will be a vaccination or cure by then, only that we may have enough medical supplies to take care of the anticipated sick, especially what they are forecasting they will need in the hospital setting such as respirators, masks, swabs. That whole thought is scary. Our local grocery store truck came in today so I ventured out (afraid of getting pulled over the entire time) to get necessary grocery items for both my DD's, Grandkids, brother, maintenance man and dear friend of our family. Made the deliveries, picked up some plumbing parts for a cabin and headed back home.

I was informed after my call to the Governors office yesterday that my motel & cabins are considered essential so they can stay open and act as support for essential business still running (construction crews etc).

Still no toilet paper, but I finally got a loaf of bread, and a pack each of the hamburger and hot dog buns for myself and DD's. Stay clean & well everyone. My prayers are with you all.

JGMTD Round 108 (30 for me)
Sorry for disappearing last round. There were so many changes to adjust to, and I never seemed to be able to get a post together. I went from being busy packing for a trip to see my son to being even busier cancelling travel arrangements, gearing up for teaching all of my courses online, picking up a few supplies, checking in with family, and keeping up with daily developments. More recently, I’ve been self-isolating (except for solitary walks outdoors), teaching online, and figuring this new reality one day at a time.

4) Cross something off my "to do" list

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 – 165.8 – Starting this round in a good place. Although I didn’t post last round, I managed weigh in and meet my calorie and exercise goals most days. Today was a pretty good day, despite the grim news reports and increasing restrictions. My online class went pretty well and I met my goals. I’m finding stability in the habits I’ve developed and serenity in my outdoor walks.
03/19 – 164.6 – After a rainy start to the day, the weather cleared and I got out for a walk again, tackling a more rugged trail to get my heart rate up. I’m glad the parks are still open, although I don’t know how long that will last. Got a few chores done, but much of the day was spent addressing online teaching issues and providing long-distance support for stressed family members. My sleep schedule is totally shot, but I’ve been pushing myself to fix simple, reasonably healthy meals and to stay hydrated. Glad to have the structure of these challenges to help me stay grounded.
03/20 – 164.6 – Unseasonably warm, but such a delight to get out in short sleeves and enjoy the weather. I skipped most of the chores and took the dog for a long walk in the park. Did well on calories but a little under on hydration.
03/21 – 163.4 – Slept in and slightly dehydrated, so I think this number is misleading. Managed a short, chilly walk in the park with my husband and just squeaked in under my calorie limit. Didn’t get much work done today. I had a nice, long phone conversation with my son and saw my daughter briefly, although at a 6+ foot distance, since I’m the support person for my mom. Things are ramping up very fast in NJ. Today we got our “stay at home” order, with most non-essential businesses closed and all gatherings banned. Fortunately, the parks are still open.
03/22 – 164.4 – Rain all day, so no walk. I was up early, so I managed to book a grocery delivery and ordered a few fresh items. Met my calorie and hydration goals but didn’t get much done. I haven’t been particularly hungry or motivated lately – guess I shouldn’t be surprised with all that’s going on. Looking forward to some sun and warmer temperatures tomorrow.
03/23 – 164.4 – It felt great to get out in the sun today. After a busy morning teaching my online classes, I took a long walk with the dog, heading to the park and following a meandering stream-side trail. Not the most rigorous workout, but the serenity was just what I needed. Met my hydration and calorie goals, but paid more attention to my macros when fixing meals today. Did a bit of meal prep for the rest of the week as well, so overall, a pretty good day.

@SheilaBoneham, ❤ Yes, I know what happened. The what just happened was WHY would he say what he did? It was 2 hrs spent in the juvenile world of President Trump.

Ready for round 108 {45th for me}
OSW 88KG
RSW 60.5kg (-27.5kg) or {62 lbs}
Goal... Wish I knew! I'd like to lose 1 more kg permanently but that seems very difficult right now

03/19 60.15kg. Need to move that extra kg off!
03/20 59.95 kg so I'm getting closer
03/21 59.0kg...that's what missing dinner will do for you!
03/22 59kg but massively over calories which will probably show up tomorrow.
03/23 59.90kg after gym weigh in.
03/24 59.50kg after workout.

03/15 59.95kg after workout. Hoping to get it down over the next few days.

Goal – end lower than started - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 134.4 – 7.08 miles walked yesterday, met up with sisters for afternoon tea.
03/19 134.2 – rain all day yesterday meant only managed to walk 4.83 miles, kept eating well under control though so 218 calories in credit, but carbs over.
03/20 134.2 – 6.47 miles walked yesterday. C-19 ? Biggest problem here in my area of the UK is stupid people stockpiling, shelves are cleared of TP, nappies, long life milk, flour, pasta, rice, long life milk, frozen veggies, basically anything with a long shelf life!! WHY ?? If everyone just shops as normal there is plenty for everyone. Schools shut for everyone except children of key workers from end of today. All over 70's are self isolating for 12 weeks & all public gatherings have been stopped. I am standing by and prepared to help with fetching & carrying, walking dogs etc. for anyone self isolating – I've not been called on yet. I think it's the media's approach that is causing the panics, so there have been minimum deaths so far here, far less than from other ailments, so why stockpile? Luckily, we're not on lock down; if I couldn't get out and walk I would go crazy, I really hope it doesn't come to that!!! Stay calm everyone and shop as normal.
03/21 134.8 – 5.5 miles walked yesterday, spent majority of day at my elderly housebound & in early stages of dementia MIL's, took her some essential supplies to find her just sitting in her chair staring at a blank TV screen. “They've switched our electricity off, have they switched yours off?” She had not had a hot drink or eaten although she does have cold food available there. So after checking the neighbours was on, using their microwave to give her a hot meal and cup of tea, I started to try to get the power back on. Made some phone calls to power company and BIL & finally established that the cooker socket was tripping out the power. All this took time, but so glad to get everything back on. Gently chastised her to phone us if it happens again, but as she is stone deaf & has lost her hearing aids !!!!! She was due to be reassessed for new ones yesterday, but the home appointment was cancelled as she is in the very vulnerable group. She also will not accept any carers & lots of help of us her family too, she gets very annoyed at us thinking we are interfering and taking her independence away, thing is she is not capable of doing much anyway

it's like walking on eggshells and very frustrating as we really want to help!
03/22 134.8 – 8.46 miles walked yesterday locally in lovely spring sunshine even if it was a little nippy! Happy Mother's day to all other mothers out there, stay safe and keep washing your hands. Meeting up with my DD, SIL & GSs at a park where we can safely meet up – at the required metre distance! It's our GS's 2nd birthday tomorrow. Our DS is in self isolation after siting next to a colleague at the start of last week with suspected but unconfirmed C-19, so only phone contact with him at the moment

. Thankfully he's not showing any symptoms. Crazy crazy times.
03/23 134.8 – 7.3 miles walked. A totally different & bizarre Mother's day yesterday, DS 'phoned from his self isolation, met our DD & family outdoors in the spring sunshine, we each took a picnic; they sat on one bench, we sat on another!!
03/24 134 – 11.39 miles walked yesterday, 821 calories in credit and all other macros in green – a good day yesterday.:). So we in the UK are in lock down, luckily we are allowed to go out once a day to exercise, so I shall have to do my walking all in one go. I wanted to do my bit to help feed the nation and as I am fit & healthy, but not working, so at the weekend I put my name forward at our local supermarket for a temp. contract to re-stock shelves and have an interview this am; however, my DH expressed his concerns at me being more exposed to potential carriers of the virus & we have his elderly very vulnerable DM that we have to give regular care & attention to – she refuses to have carers in, Upshot is that I have agreed that I will cancel the interview, I am disappointed but we have to think of our families health too, he is being sensible. At least I shall be giving blood this pm, so still doing my bit for the community. When will this end? So worrying, keep safe everyone.
03/25 133.6 – 9.3 miles walked yesterday, outside was very quiet – everyone crossing the street if they met anyone to more than keep the obligatory distance apart, other than when I gave blood, obviously impossible to keep a distance when the blood carer is taking the blood! But all other precautions taken and constantly wiping everything down with anti-bac wipes. More obvious police patrols. Calories 413 in credit & all other macros in green.

I believe it’s stress. I’m a nurse and on the front lines in the er and icu . So far no corona in our hospital but it’s still stressful. I am getting a hip replacement on the 25 th so more stress but I’m continuing to try to stay on plan.
03/19 255
03/20 255 surgery is still on.
03/21 252.4
well the surgery is now off. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. I have to call my short term disability and rescind that and get back to work. We are tentatively scheduled for May 6. My surgeon felt bad but it’s out of his hands. Our hospital system has 28 hospitals and over 750 icu beds and not one patient with the virus but the government is forcing them too. I do understand but having none on bone pain and knowing I have to endure another 5 weeks just stinks.
03/22 250.8
03/23 249.8
03/24 249.8
03/25 248.2. Glad it’s dropping. Today would have been my surgery for getting my hip fixed. Thanks covid 😡. We are tentatively scheduled for April 29 . It could be earlier but as soon as the ban is lifted I’m my surgeons first case. So I can’t take my nsaids just Tylenol which is not cutting it. I plan on sticking with my healthy eating because that is the only thing I can control at this point.

I need some accountability. These last 10 lbs are brutal.

Round 106- SW 158, EW 153.2 -4.8
Round 107- SW 154.8, EW 155.2 +.4

3/18- 154.8 back to where I was at the beginning of the last round. Hanging in there. Just need to keep the snacking in check working from home for the next month.
3/19- 154.4 Pleased. Rode yesterday, did HIIT. Enjoying the extra time with the kids even if work productivity is taking a hit and managing them is stressful. Finding a routine. Played evening games and are starting a big puzzle.
3/20- 155.4 Yeah, even though I had a good run yesterday I ate back all my exercise calories and I don't think I was really tracking carefully enough.
3/21-156 This working from home thing is going to kill my progress. It's too, too easy to snack and then I've been baking fun things since my daughter wants to and I admit I enjoy both the baking and eating part. Ugh. I have to find a way to stay on track...
3/22- 154.8 I should hope so. I rode/walked Frosty for more than 2 hours yesterday on the rail trail. I have to get hay today and I'll try to get a ride in too.
3/23- 154.2 I'm happy with this. I was super active this weekend. Riding, running, loading and unloading hay and I ate decently as kids were at their dad's. Weekends normally wreck me so I'm proud of myself for losing over a weekend for once. Small changes.
3/24- 154.8 I didn't track at all yesterday. Just trying to manage week 2 working from home and homeschooling kids. They are hard to keep on task, but we'll get there. Did a big bike ride with them in the evening so that was fun if chilly.
3/25- 154.4 I don't feel like I've been jumping around insanely like I was in the past. I hope that means my body is adjusting to this new weight. I only have 4 pounds to go. It seems like so little, but I think I'm OK with it taking a few weeks to get there. I haven't been tracking carefully, too busy with homeschooling kids and working and trying to get them out for bike rides and such so we stay mentally happy too. Hugs to everyone finding their new norm.
