04/07 160.2 lbs 1,590 Calories 37 Carbs, 34 Net Carbs, and 10,291. Back up in the 160’s, I was not surprised. Had meatloaf and Ice Cream today so everything is over! But it was a beautiful day and I got a nice walk in.

04/09 160.8 lbs 1,435 Calories, 46 Carbs, 39 Net Carbs, No Exercise today. Not a very good day. Made pudding that I thought was sugar free but it was not. Carbs up because of that.

04/10 161.0lb ⬆️ 1,508 calories 18 Carbs, 12 Net Carbs and 10,685 steps. Maybe this is my wake up call! I’ve been over eating in Carbs and fat. Today it was my fat that is still over.

Day | Weight | Change | Comment

04/07 | 133.9kg | -0.1kg | Good day yesterday! Tracked my calories and came in under target. Got 30 mins of exercise in throughout the day. Drank 2.5L+ of water. Ate lots of veggies. Feeling good after ticking off lots of goals for the day!

04/08 | 133.8kg | -0.1kg | Another good day yesterday. Tracked everything, came in just on target (like 20 cals over), got in 30 mins of exercise. Didn't drink enough water but still feeling good.

04/09 | 133.8kg | No change | Still on track yesterday! Really I ate too much bread but still came in right on calorie target. Did 30mins of walking around the house/in place, and drank all the water. At home alone today with the toddler, so movement is a little more restricted throughout the day but we might get out for an afternoon walk if the weather is nice!

04/10 | 133.9kg | +0.1kg | I didn’t track for yesterday but will do that shortly. I know I ate too much and made poor choices though! Got takeaway food for dinner as hubby was home late from his out of town trip. Didn’t get out for a walk with the little one but I did do 5 miles on the stationary bike and some standing ab work while he napped so I still got my 30 mins in. Did well with water. An average day overall! Also had to brave the supermarket with the little one, was pleasantly surprised to find many items back on the shelves!

04/11 | 134.0kg | +0.1kg

04/12 | 134.2kg | +0.2kg | Happy Easter to all! I have indulged in too much chocolate, too much beer, too much sodium, and have not had near enough water in the last couple of days. Feeling a bit down and eating my emotions. Need to do better.

04/13 | 134.3kg | +0.1kg | Still not doing better!

04/14 | 134.3kg | No change | Busy day yesterday, cleaning the last of the stuff out of our kitchen ready for the tradies to arrive later today (hubby has to remove the cabinets today, and then they will be removing a brick wall to open up to the dining/lounge area, and resheeting the entire room due to water damage). I'm so excited to have my new kitchen at last! There will be a lot of work over the next week or so, and since I'm working from home, I'll actually be working at my sister's house while it's happening. She's a teacher and it's school holidays here so she is able to help me look after my little one while I'm working. Very helpful! Looking to get back on track today.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/06 …..202.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/07 …..203.6 ….. I am hoping its water retention, but probably not. I enjoyed a movie night last night with my son which included snacks that didn’t belong. Not an over-abundance, but definitely outside of plan. I still had in over 5 miles total steps/walking for the course of the day, some small cabin cleaning and housework in my home and I made a pot of soup. Today I will work on taxes (again), and hopefully do some more prep cooking for my freezer. I hope to keep the carbs at a reasonable amount to help my glucose numbers continue to improveI don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be overheated or be a sweathog when summer finally hits, so I’ve got to stay focused! . Good luck everyone this round. Congratulations to all the great results I saw last round from so many!

04/08 …..203.5 ….. I did a dance session yesterday for 23 minutes. Sample song, “In my feelings (Kiki, do you love me?) by Drake. Yesterday was a successful day overall on my journey. Today (I am hopeful) will be even better.

04/09 …..203.9 ….. Okay, so good news and bad news. Bad news first: I had a small to medium binge last night. All cravings driven. I’ve had worse, but its something I just can’t afford right now. Now, for the good news: thanks to @dawnbgethealthy I tried her recommended zumba Fitness Marshall last night. It is going to take a minute to get used to the steps but I really liked it. I must say though, as much as I love all genres and decades of music, I am not familiar with most of this music. Also, I stumbled around a bit like a flailing bird with a broken wing so I am definitely not as cool as I thought I was. I looked and behaved more like an old 60 yr old woman who is out of shape, (oh, that’s right, I will be 60 soon and I do have quite a bit of weight to lose!) However, I’m going to try this a couple of days per week if all goes well. Especially during the shut-in, shelter-in-place orders. Of course, trying to work out in my home is almost impossible as there are constant people at my door and constant phone calls & interruptions (I run my motel and cabins from my home office on the premises). But, as always, I do my best. I have to say, though, working in a 24 hour per day business is not easy on anyone when you are the only employee! I hope you are all hanging in there. In Michigan USA our Governor has officially extended the shut-in until April 30th when it will be revisited.

04/10 …..203.2 ….. Okay, that is much better. It was a hard night last night. I made a plan that if severe hunger struck, I would have an egg. They are low calorie, only 1 carb and quite filling. But mostly, I am so SICK of them I knew I would not overeat them. So it was egg or nothing! Then, the sugar drop started coming on. It was slow but steady. I knew I had to eat, but an egg does not have enough carbs to bring up my sugar! Determined to stick to plan (as much as possible), I quickly scrambled my egg and made one piece of toast with butter. I made a half of egg sandwich (the bread would give me the carbs I needed) and I ate it and waited. Waiting is the hard part because the instinct is to keep eating until all the symptoms stop. I trusted the process and waited. Slowly (very slowly) I started to feel better. I am proud that I stuck to my plan as much as possible. It could have been a fast bowl of sugary cereal, but no, I stuck to the egg. I’m so glad I did. Luckily I still had calories left for the day. I traded out my last low carb snack for the 1/2 sandwich. The scale still rewarded me.

04/11 …..203.3 ….. Just a normal fluctuation. I did some walking yesterday and a small set of Zumba Fitness Marshall. I think I will be awkward on the Zumba for awhile, but it’s okay, I just keep moving even if I miss the step switches. Overall, a pretty good day. I did have another sugar drop last night, but I handled it. The slower ones are SO MUCH easier. Enjoy your Saturday everyone. I will be watching The Ten Commandments (3.5 hours long) with my son later. I know my diet and exercise for today will not be so good, but the time with my son will be wonderful.

04/12 …..203.4 ….. Pizza. The movie (The Ten Commandments from 1956) was almost 4 hours long. It was nice to share it with my son. Happy Easter everyone! I miss my grandkids!

04/13 …..203.7 ….. I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter. It was cold and snowy here. Today the snow is actually sticking. I ventured out today with my mask and gloves because one of my units had a refrigerator decide to break down so I had to get a new one. That proved very challenging!

Round 110

04/07: Off the rails
04/08: Off the rails
04/09: Off the rails
04/10: 180.6 - up 7.4 pounds - yike! And the majority is real weight gain but I'm owning it today. I've been hiding from the scale for at least 3 weeks and finally weighed today. I started going off the rails early March and tried getting control numerous times and by mid March, I was 100% off with no tracking, no weighing and stress eating and bingeing. So this is where I've landed! I've not only gained weight but feeling like crap from all the bad food I've put in my system, not drinking water, and limited exercise. So, got to play catch up - ugh! My lowest on MFP was 173.2 on March 8.
I do feel better just finally weighing and knowing where I stand. Hopefully tracking again and posting here will get me back to how good I was feeling before I went down this rabbit hole. All the people here are so great and supportive and I know it works even if I slipped for a while.
04/11: 180.8
04/12: 180.2
04/13: 180.0 Didn't think I'd ever have to be looking for the 170's again but at least I caught myself before I was in the mid-180's again.

Female age 61 5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

Goal – end lower than started......again! - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges! Keep calm, washing hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.
Keep calm – we're all in this together!

04/07 135.6 – 10.42 miles walked yesterday & a better day foodwise; 314 calories in credit
04/08 135.6 - 10.35 miles walked yesterday, struggling!
04/09 135.6 – 10.51 miles walked yesterday.
04/10 136.2 – 9.65 miles walked yesterday, Oh my goodness, really need to reverse this trend !! Need to pull myself up and take control, this needs to stop now! Stop all this comfort/anxiety binging, no more chocolate until Sunday and then weigh bits off my egg each day – sigh!!. Don't want to see any higher numbers. Happy and safe Easter to you all.
04/11 136.2 – 9.47 miles walked yesterday. Feeling much happier with myself this morning, stuck to the healthy eating plan and only deviated with a very slightly larger glass of wine than planned, but still within calories; 267 calories in credit, 33 carbs over ( hot cross bun took me over). Hoping this is the “top of the curve” !! Will pre log all foods again today – it helped yesterday. Happy Easter Saturday everyone.
04/12 136.2 – 9.09 miles walked yesterday. Good day yesterday, almost eat all my exercising calories back, but 141 in credit and all other macros in green, plenty water consumed too all through the day, nearly drowned in it !!! Happy & safe Easter Sunday to you all.
04/13 136.2 – 8.5 miles walked yesterday. Still stayed within limits, but did eat nearly all my exercise calories back (it was Easter Sunday), only 28 calories & 33 carbs in credit. Easter bunny (key worker!) did make an appearance, but my egg is safely in the fridge! - I like my chocolate same as my red wine, room temperature! Still feeling good, just need to get those numbers going down again now !! Todays food logged - looking good!
04/14 135.2 - 8.64 miles walked yesterday. Yes !!! Movement in the RIGHT directon!! Only 1/3 of exercise calories eaten back, 521 in credit & all other macros in green.

Start weight... October 2017: 107kg

I have been meaning to lose the last few KG to get down to my 75kg goal. Now nothing is open I thought this would be the perfect time to get there. I have been sitting around my current weight since August 2018 so I am comfortable with my maintenance lifestyle but always had that end goal in the back of my mind that I set in October 2017!

04/13 - 81.2kg - 5.8 miles walked - 2000 calories eaten as it was a rest day - Watched a program on BBC iPlayer that compared all takeaways and the effects that two weeks of eating them for every meal has. Did you know 1 in 6 18-25 year olds in the UK have a takeaway 2 times a day most days of the wee?k

04/14 - 81.3kg - On posting this I have just finished a 13 mile bike ride, I felt good although the bike gave me some grief with the gears nothing to worry about though.

If you ever feel down and head to the snack draw to get something sweet or something you don't need to eat. Think about the real reason you started this journey in the first place, because when I think about mine it instantly gives me that 'it's not worth it feeling' and I grab a piece of fruit or have a coffee!

Goals for 2020 — eat consciously and responsibly, exercise and meditate daily, get back to productive writing & painting, help people, be kind, learn new things, have fun.

Bouncy bouncy. I’m actually surprised it didn’t bounce high as I had a bit of an eating binge yesterday. It was the first day I’ve felt really down since the stay-at-home routine started, and all I did was sleep and eat. Feel better this morning. I hope you’re all doing well.

4/8/20 - 181.2
Legacy of Monday’s binge, since I ate responsibly yesterday. Another beautiful day here, and I’m planning a nice long walk along the river and a little garden clean up if it’s not too wet. Be well, everyone.

Back to chilly, windy weather. But yesterday was gorgeous! And my baby forsythias, planted last year, are happy happy!

WHAT? Has to be delayed reaction from Monday, which seems really delayed, but I’ve been within bounds since then. Horrifying! But otoh, we’re healthy, so it’s not the worst that could happen.

No chocolate in the house and I think the Easter Bunny is staying home — a good thing. I have spelt bread rising and I think that will be my treat.

4/7- 155.8 I don't think the 8 mile bike ride and frisbee golf with the kids was enough to cancel out the Dairy Queen we got afterward, but it was wonderful and we had a great time.
4/8- 154.4 I didn't eat back my exercise calories yesterday. It shows, but I'm also hungry. How do you get comfortable with the constant hunger?
4/9- 153.6 sweet. Hiked with the kids and then ran another 2 miles too. Hoping this is me pushing through this plateau I've been on a while.
4/10- 153.6 Good. So windy yesterday. Didn't work out. Have to try to be good going into this eating weekend.
4/11-154.8
4/12- DNW
4/13- 157.2- I did nothing but bake and gorge most of the weekend. I rode and ran both days, but that's not enough. Back at it today. Why, why is it so easy to gain 4 pounds in two days, but take forever to get down one?! It's just all about calories. Off to track...
4/14- 154.6 That's a huge loss... One of these numbers isn't accurate. Eh. I'll chalk it up to the heavy carbs, salt and sugar that were making me retain water. My hands have been really swollen the last two days. I stayed on track yesterday. I intend to do the same today.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough so I only got 2 pieces. Had to fill up on carbs (rice and beans) instead or go hungry. Oh well. Its cold today so not sure what is in store as far as movement and fresh air goes. Ready for consistent warmth with no rain (it seems to like timing the rain perfectly on weekends... and be warmer on weekends when it rains instead of during the week between rain just to spite me.

Edit: Fam has a break from work and the weather looks good enough (though chilly) this afternoon around lunch so we are going to run. Well, she'll run, I'll jog/walk alternate. Every little bit counts, though, and now I have a "date" for it so no excuses!
