Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 110

fmfdfa2020 · April 2020

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.

04/14: 180.0

04/15:
04/16:

Short-Term Goal: Back into the 160's!

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.

4/8 121.5 Way over on everything yesterday. Our wonderful SIL has To go in to work yesterday so went to Sam’s and Walmart and got EVERYTHING on my list except a supplement I have been taking for well over a decade. Fresh produce will be a challenge in the coming weeks but otherwise we’re good.
**4/9 121.0 Fasted for 20 hours 8PM on 4/8 to 4PM 4/9
4/10 120.0 Yesterday during my fast I found myself going to the kitchen a couple of times and then realizing I wasn’t even hungry. I had intended to fast for 18 hours and went to 20 with no actual hunger. I think I would have been okay longer but had to “feed” DH. I made “dinner” at 4 because we needed to eat the coleslaw that was leftover so hot dogs (no bread) and slaw it was. No snacking in the evening.
4/11 120.0
4/12 119.5. Had a nice visit with our daughter and SIL yesterday sitting on the driveway. He got gas in DH’s car while we chatted then joined us as we maintained about a 20 foot separation.

RSW 247.6

04/07 248.4 I think this is a pre tom bounce up as I’ve been having some pms symptoms.

04/08 247.8 And back down again. I struggled a little yesterday morning due mostly to stress, but I realized that my way of eating was the single biggest thing I can control right now. That thought helped a lot and kept me on track. I thought I would share it in case it might help anyone else. Hang in there everyone.

04/09 247.0

04/10 247.6 I had a lunch/dinner “out” with the husband yesterday. I ate high, but still under maintenance. I also got the migraine that I usually get with tom, but no tom yet. I’m hopeful that I won’t get a second one once it decides to arrive.

04/11 247.0

04/12 245.4 False low? Water loss? I suppose I’ll see over the next few days.

04/13 244.8 Yay not a false low.

04/14 246.0 No idea, but I’ve had a headache since last night, so maybe tom is thinking about showing.

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 …..203.6 ….. 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!

04/14 …..203.4 ….. I am praying for a good day with food choices. I have woke up starving and that is not typical. I must face the day with hope, not despair. The scale is down so I will start my focus there. It snowed all night. So cold outside. What a blah day! I will work hard to make it a fruitful positive day!

Round 110 - April 7 to 16
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 165.8 GW – 164, UGW – 140.
Goals: continue with 12 hr. IF, complete my tracking every day and get some kind of outdoor exercise unless it is raining. Did not do well on the exercise the last couple of rounds and it shows – a steady creep up. Reminded by Tish’s video on breathing how important drinking water is. So this round I’m planning to work much harder on the exercise and drinking water.
Can’t control much else but this is a battle I can win – as someone wrote.
Day/Weight/Comment
04/07 -165.8 – Slept in so didn’t log.
04/08 – 165.8 –
04/09 – 165.6 – IF 12 hrs., tracked everything including water and was good, even with some ice cream. Beautiful day so spent ½ hr. cleaning up perennials in the yard.
04/10 – 165.6 – Made Easter bread but didn’t start till after lunch and it rises 3 times so had a slice mid-evening but was careful to make a light supper and no dessert/fruit. My bread has a lighter icing (has custard in it) but still icing sugar so not a great choice, even if within cals. Made DH happy though. Just have to be careful not to eat too much of it. Making pea soup today for some healthy fibre.
04/11 – 166 – Not sure if this is extra salt from the soup or extra bread – maybe both. Making rye today and leave the Easter bread for DH. I used to make most of my own bread but for many years now would just make it occasionally. Now I am trying to use up home-ground flour (they grew the rye and wheat and ground it for me) from my daughter. It doesn’t keep like the commercial stuff but tastes wonderful.
04/12 – 166.2
04/13 - 166
04/14 – 166 – Not a great weekend foodwise – too much Easter bread and icing. Made 2 batches of bread on Sat. and if I can get in another batch of rye this week will have finished with that flour + have bread for a couple of months. After sitting around all Sunday, yesterday I got outside for some gardening and did 20 min. stretches and abs exercise inside. Tracked all, stayed on plan and 12 hr. IF. Now if I can just stick with that all week!

FOCUS FOR THIS ROUND
Building healthy habits

GOALS THIS ROUND
- RGW 133.5kg
- Consistently track calories
- Move throughout the day!
R110 SW 134.0kg

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.

04/15 | 134.6kg | +0.3kg | Disappointing. Realistically, I know that this is mostly water weight as I haven't been overeating that much. But I hate seeing the scale move up and up.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/07 - 354.1 - Looks like I might've broken thru that plateau I've been stuck on. Drank lots more water yesterday and it seems to have helped. No matter, onward and downward! Everyone stay safe!
04/08 - 354.5 - minor uptick. My losses have definitely slowed. But sticking to the program WILL get me there. But I now understand why so many get so discouraged when this happens. You put in the work, but don't get the results... temporarily. Everyone stay safe!!
04/09 - 353.4 - And down we go again. I think I'm thru this plateau/sticking point finally. Went for a walk this morning and then motivated myself with DDPYoga a bit later. And I still have a little bit of shopping and another walk tonite.
04/10 - 353.4 - My whole schedule was off today. I'll chalk the day up to being off on everything and call this my *pass* day.
04/11 - 353.6 - Virtually no change. I'm staying w/ the plan, though. Forward and, hopefully, downard. Stay the course.
04/12 - 353.3 - And a little drop again. I'd much prefer a steady, slow drop, but I'll get there.
04/13 - 354.4 - With the rain, we couldn't walk this morning. Hopefully, it'll clear up later. Also found myself doing some absent-minded eating last night. Promptly moved those snacks back to the kitchen. Focus and consistency.
04/14 - 354.8 - Been going up a bit. Might be a residual from before, but I'm sure it's just a blip.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 110 (round 42 for me ) I'm in for another round – just keep plodding on! As always; thank you GrandmaJackie, such a star for setting up these challenges.

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.

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 direction!! Only 1/3 of exercise calories eaten back, 521 in credit & all other macros in green.
04/15 135.2 – 10.7 miles walked yesterday. 623 calories in credit, all other macros in green.

04/16 – my birthday; not celebrating it this year until we can get together with our children & grandchildren again, missing them SO SO much.

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE

. Keep calm – we're all in this together!

Start weight... October 2017: 107kg
Goal weight... October 2017: 75kg

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 - 13 miles biked - 4.2 miles walked - 2500 calories eaten - Day went a lot quicker working from home than it did over the long Easter weekend! I do have an Easter egg waiting for me at my girlfriends to enjoy once lock-down is over

04/15 - 81.2kg - 10 miles biked - Just finished my overnight oats and a lovely fresh ground Italian coffee that I made in my Moka pot

have a great day and stay safe!

04/16 -

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!

TerriRichardson112 · April 2020

Looking forward:
I'm just too danged cussed to let this thing knock me back, and ruin all the effort I have put in to get here. I am stepping up my routine, and taking control. Sheltering in place means I can fully concentrate on getting in my exercise, and preparing healthy food.

April: focus on maintaining and increasing my progress
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 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ So far, so good.
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! [/b

04/15 - 151.2 - I have no effing clue whatsoever. The run didn't happen because 2 other girls said they'd go with fam and I. Then bailed because it was cold out. Then fam had "more time later" but didn't elaborate when exactly and was already done with her run by the time I saw her come down the street and I had just gotten back from running an errand. This afternoon BF and I are supposed to go to Austin to pick up something he bought so unless I go on my own or the girls are up for an earlier run, today is out as well. Another chilly day, I think, but I may just go on my own around the neighborhood like fam does and get it over with. Motivation is being solidly in the 150s again and I can't handle that. Also I remembered and bought salads for lunch the rest of this week so hopefully that'll help as well. Not sure about dinner but MUST pay attention to portions for all dinner -- Its my biggest downfall. Goal is to get out of 150s by tomorrow and end round back in 140s. Wish me luck!

Previous Day's Comments

04/07 - On an uptick today. Had homemade street tacos with the usual fam last night (we help watch their kids [I'm an aunt!! Only child over here, so I am soaking that in] and the hubby is BF's boss so they sometimes have to work together) so hanging out for dinner really isn't violating social distancing any more than any other time of the day we may be assisting. Might as well combine forces and not waste food since we are already there (and total there are 4 adults and 2 children so still less than the 10 person gathering limit). Unfortunately, the food is AMAZING and very easy to overeat. Also desperately need to up my water intake. I've been slacking off horribly. Depending on how today goes, I should have yoga via zoom and I'm about to do some hip thrusts before BF wakes up since my back has been hurting a bit lately (surgeon's orders - keep glutes and hips strong and aligned to reduce pinching of my nerve and so far, it seems to help). Hoping today will be better activity-wise. No rain and temps back in 80s so maybe I can get outside for fresh air and a walk or something.
04/08 - Not even sure why... possibly from a carb-heavy breakfast (homemade biscuits&gravy)? Oh yeah, possibly lunch. Only had a handful, but pizza rolls = no bueno. Also got more water so maybe that? I don't know. Today will be better, I hope. Work says severe thunderstorms today. Everything else I see says tomorrow and Saturday for storms and rain Friday. Its muggy so definitely something moving in. Will need to get outside for fresh air and sunshine before all that! Might venture out to the store (mama made and sent me face masks! Yay for quilters in the family) to stock up on some food and grab salad for me while I'm at it. My Imperfect Produce order is set to arrive today (figured I'd try it -- BF's idea despite him hating most veggies) but will need some leafy greens and protein for salads (mainly lunch as breakfast and dinner BF and I eat together)
04/09 - I'm okay, this is okay, it'll all be okay (trying to convince myself). Homemade lasagna last night and it was GOOD (scale thinks so, too). It had veggies in it, but its still lasagna, all heavy and carby. Imperfect Produce came yesterday. Gotta figure out what in the world to do with it before it all goes bad. Out of eggs and can't get more unless we buy from the store (ugh), and we've had biscuits and gravy for 3 days straight now. I can't do it again today. I didn't make it to the store yesterday so no salad greens, either. Just some avocado, tomatoes, lime, lemons, green bell peppers, green onion, asparagus, mushrooms, oranges, and mangos. If only I had eggs, I'd chop up some of those veggies for a nice omelet with bacon. Went for a short walk to the fam's house yesterday to pick up lunch (they ordered too much and didn't want to waste it) and also did some bodyweight glute exercises in the living room. No walk today as storming all day, but will try to do the bodyweight stuff in the living room. Got water in yesterday and going for that again today. Hopefully today won't be so carb-heavy so I can drop back down. I'm taunting 150 and I never want to see that on the scale again! Absolutely must be good today so I don't wake up to that tomorrow
04/10 - Apparently my post never made it? Sorry if this is a duplicate. Was scared to step on the scale this morning but very happy to see I avoided the 150s for another day. The run seemed to help out since we ordered out at a local favorite burger joint for dinner. It was so good, I DEVOURED it. I'm currently researching homes that can be built (construction or modular) for a piece of land that we found. It seems almost too good to be true and may prove to be when it comes to the stipulations of the VA Home Loan requirements. Either way we go, the land AND whatever dwelling (which meets the VA loan minimum requirements) may be more than I can get approved for. I just hate missing out since getting land around here for less than a million is very difficult, and even more especially getting enough to allow hunting (10+acres). If it doesn't happen, its not meant to be, but its a little stressful as I'm having to do research and learn and call places to get better information before making crazy decisions recklessly.
04/11 - So sad. I couldn't avoid 150 😭 heavy dinner of steak, boudain, okra radish salad, and mashed potatoes. Just too big serving I think. Looking at a house today. It's a now or next year (or longer) because if we can't move in by June (when the lease is up) we have to wait until Dec and that's a horrible time to move. We've moved in Dec 3 years in a row now, we don't want to do it again. And we are nervous that we won't find anything like this (land, bed/baths, and within our price range) for a couple more years and be stuck renting. Possibly kayaking up the river a short bit to fish later tonight.
04/12 - Between the walking, being away from home during lunch so only grabbing a snack (so not to ruin dinner) and eating leftovers (in a much smaller portion), I managed to get back down. Crawfish boil today and I think that will help, as well. Not a lot of meat on those suckers and a lot of work to get to them haha Probably lazy day outside of that. BF is a little grumpy (from last night). No reason for it, but just hit a mood and can't shake it. Fine by me as I'm hurting quite a bit from the storm and pressure change and would rather take it easy today. We put in an offer on the land so we shall see how it goes from here!
04/13 - That's definitely a carb bloat. Pizza last night because it was a last minute dinner thing. Woke up 3 different times and drained an entire water bottle over those 3 wakeups. Still woke up crazy thirsty, too. I'm hoping today is a little better food-wise, though I still don't have my salads for lunch since I keep forgetting them when I go. BF has been using the veggies in our breakfast which I am happy about. Will have to leave for my work meeting (picking up my work phone so I'm not chained to my computer) before BF gets breakfast going so will be fasting instead. Depending on how long this takes, I should get back just in time for lunch -- not that I have too much here to eat, I'd rather eat at home and save my money. Also depending on how this work phone pickup goes, it should be a nice day and I can plant my beans in the garden finally! Maybe a walk after, too? Time will tell but if nothing else, I'll take garden work.
04/14 - Carbs and I are having a very difficult relationship. Coconut shrimp last night. Usually don't like shrimp but loved this kind! 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!
