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

Round 103- SW 160, EW 157 -3
Round 109- SW 154

3/28- 154
3/29- 155.2 This is the wrong way, but that's what I get for not tracking the last two days at all. I'm in a slump. Back at it today. Holding myself accountable. Not slacking off just because I'm close to goal weight because that is a slippery slope.
3/30- 156.6 Yeah I actually have to follow thru on tracking the whole day... Ugh. I have to find my motivation. Hoping this work Monday helps me get back on track.
3/31- 154.8 I think I'm one of those people that will have to track forever. So be it. I got back on track yesterday and when I hit calorie limit I could tell how much more I had eaten the prior days. It's hard, but I can do it. I have to get comfortable with feeling a little hungry. I'm sure if I drink more that will help.

Day/Weight/Comment

03/28 160.0 lbs 1200 calories, 12,000 steps IF16 hours, it looks like for me to get under 160 I am going to have to get under a 1000 calories, not going to happen this weekend but will try a couple days next week and then hold hopefully. I can't do that long term.

03/29. 159.4 lbs. 1300 calories, 9500 steps, IF 16 hours. ummm I was not horrible yesterday but I enjoyed the 50,s we were having with a ice cream bar and drink outside because April fools day we are back in the 30’s. Surprised at this number.

03/30 160.0 lbs 1500 calories, 9500 steps, If 16 hours. LOL I new that was to good to stay but at least I know my scale goes that low. New week and I will try to get a couple days under 1000 calories to get and stay under 160's.

03/31 160.2 lbs 950 calories, 25,000 steps, IF 16 hours. Apparently I am paying for the weekend still.

@matratazola, It's fine that you disagree with the message.💓 I don't encourage hoarding or stockpiling like these "preppers". I think these are responses to fear. I refuse to live in fear.

Just be prepared and have non perishable foods on hand for emergencies. Storing pantry items is not stockpiling or hoarding. There's no hoarding going on now where I live. Everyone is limited to purchasing reasonable amounts of food. Even now though, people can prepare for what may come concerning the food supply. When shopping for your fresh foods, pick up a few non perishable items ~ canned tuna, canned salmon, beans, tomatoes, pasta. Purchase with meals in mind, build your pantry. Canned goods can last up to 4 years after the expiration date, except for acidic foods. I witnessed some of the hoarding. Greed at its best and the purchases didn't make sense to me.

Past Rounds:
Day/Weight/Comment
3/28: 140.0 (+1.4) – How does one gain a pound and half in one day you ask? Hmmm. I’d love to blame the scale. My scale does seem to jump around but tbh, I ate crappy in the afternoon and evening. Popcorn, candy, several glasses of wine on the deck because the weather was nice. Then dinner was take out Japanese bento with sushi, beef bulgogi, tempura vegetables. So much salt and unheathly. It’s a new challenge, new week, new day. So time to move on from yesterday’s mistakes.💪

3/29: 139.2 (-.8) Did a really nice long bike ride and listened to a very good video from a doctor about dealing with Covid. And then had Italian for dinner. Nice quiet night.

3/30: 139.8 (+.6) The flux are due to choices – food, salt, snacking, drinking, sweets. I know it. Now what choice am I going to make to get back on track this week? Eating well, moving my body, drinking water, self care. April is going to last forever!🙄

4/1: 138.2 (-1.6) Weighed twice. Reset scale. No idea. Nuff said……🤷‍♀️

Looking forward:
Never give up! Never give in!
Back Story: 2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

▪3/28 - DNW - One meal, one snack. (4:30, 7:30) - 99g carbs.

▪3/29 - 186.8 - 62g carbs. OMAD. 4:30pm.

▪3/30 - 186.6 - 83g carbs. 2 meals (3:30, 7:30) Maryland residents are now under a Stay At Home Order effective at 8pm tonight.

▪3/31 - 185 - 137g carbs. OMAD. 7pm. I haven't posted anything about my family members and who we know that has become ill with this virus. A family friend of ours is ill and currently in the hospital. He found his daughter (whose health was already comprised) dead a few weeks ago, but it's not known why she died. We are all thinking it could have been from the virus. My SIL told me over the weekend that her daughter just lost 3 friends to covid19. One died in just a matter of a few days. They all were in their 40's. We have a family business, deemed essential because it is a pack, ship and private post office. We told our oldest son to stay home with his family to diminish virus exposure to them. My husband and youngest son are still going to work. It is a risk, but right now with all of the businesses around our store closed, except for a liquor store and a sandwich shop, walk ins are very limited. So pretty much open for those that have accounts with us and to receive their pkgs. My husband doesn't want our youngest son to be there either. Neither of my sons wants their Dad to be there. I have to be out to shop for food and do laundry, so I risk being exposed also. I told my husband, the truth of the matter is the 3 of us are in one household, so we do what me must until one becomes ill, then we all will have to isolate. It has been very stressful for my husband and my oldest. My faith in God keeps me at peace. Although, my sister really stressed me out one day back in February, when all of this was just ramping up here. She never wants help thats offered and now she is in a situation I cannot help her with. She's 74 years old, in ill health and uses public transportation. Now that transportation is limited to essential use and personnel. I had been out daily trying to find items she needs and finally got them to her. Now, hopefully, I can be in until it's time to do laundry. Didn't mean to write an essay, but that is what's happening in my small world.

Round 109 (my 41st)

OSW 382.0
RSW 250.6

03/28 250.4 I didn’t have much yesterday for breakfast, so I treated myself to some frozen yogurt. I also went grocery shopping and managed to find food! I was so happy to find some real food and almost stocked shelves for the first time in a few weeks.

03/29 251.2 No hugs needed! I was under calorie yesterday, but had all the carbs, nearly double what I usually eat. For some reason my appetite was still a little off in the morning and I treated myself just a little in the afternoon and evening. It was a very nice day and I learned that these days I’m happy with a happy meal.

03/30 251.4 The carb bounce always takes a couple of days to go. I finally got a good night sleep last night after a couple of days of either not sleeping or using sleeping pills.

03/31 250.6 There we go back down and hopefully some more losses in days to come.

03/29 - 149.3
03/30 - 149.3
03/31 - 149.7 - Bit of a long update since I've been absent: Not pretty numbers. Between the quarantine (shelter in place in both work and home cities), unpacking/getting settled in, and working from home (hello, kitchen and BF who can cook amazingly), this is what I get. Started a garden as a reason to get outside at least once a day (though sometimes I take a break just to go stand on the porch). Rain/storms Thursday-next week which puts a damper on the walking trails idea we had for this weekend. BF works from home (all the time, not just quarantine) so he always is looking for ways to get out of the house and now I understand why. I miss the freedom to just go get fresh air and sunshine without concern of the virus. Bought salads for "work lunch" to try to get some veggies in. Steaks last night with homemade mashed potatoes and garlic asparagus (I was in charge of sides). Hopefully soon my order of imperfect produce will come in and I can start incorporating more fruits and veggies in. Will have to since I'm paying for them and BF requested I did it, despite him not being the biggest veggie person. He told me to get it, so he gets to deal with it haha He wants to lose weight as well now that he's on the computer at home all day. Once things calm down, he's going to fix up our friend's extra bike and go riding with him. I'll go on walks and do some at home stuff when I'm able to. My schedule will be tough. It's a 1.5hr drive with no traffic. With traffic its around 2hrs. I shouldn't hit traffic going to work, but will leaving work to come home. So 13-14.5hrs gone. Will have just enough time to eat dinner, shower, and pass out with 6hrs sleep. 7hrs if food is already done when I get home. Fridays and weekends I will be free to do whatever I want/need to, though, so I'll be working on making up for my workweek. Also going to try to do lunch walks at work just to get out of the office and get movement in if I have a quiet computer-based or meeting-based day. Any advice y'all have, I'll gladly take. Especially since I haven't been doing my IF (skipping breakfast) lately since BF cooks for us and I've had a rumbling belly by 8am. Once I'm working at the plant, I'll get back to that but until then, I need to figure something out. No idea how long I'll be at home, but the orders for San Antonio are valid until the 9th unless its extended. Now time to catch up on everybody's posts!

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.
