@matratazola It is an odd thing with moving to find balance. The thing that's really getting to me, I think, is that I can find balance right now (5 weeks after move), but its going to change again once we stop working remote and I start commuting to work (which I have not yet done, so that'll be an adjustment period all on its own). What I need to start doing is to carve out some time to plan and make lunches for "work" so when I do start commuting, I've already figured out a system. Its too easy right now to finish my task, walk to the kitchen and find something to eat, then go back to my computer. Not going to work that way in the coming weeks! The closest place to grab food from work (that I've found using maps), is about a 15-20 minute drive. We have a 30 minute lunch Plus, that's "fast food" so not at all healthy. I have a feeling my salad game is about to be strong since they're fairly easy to put together when short on time

Oh wow I hadn't though of that, crossing country for a new job and starting it under these circumstances must have been very strange! For lunches I normally have a stock of frozen choices, I cook veggies and various forms of rice or pulses which I freeze in individual baby pots, then I mix and match pots to bring to the office where we have a microwave and small kitchen. For the moment I don't know when we'll open the office, and as an office manager without an office to manage I'm a little in limbo land here

We have an staff meeting online tomorrow to discuss our options.

Goals
Getting back on track, logging consistently and staying withing MFP planned cal intake

05/07 157.6 (+7.2) 12.318 steps, 6km walk. I used my lowest weight from a few rounds ago although I’ve been weighing every couple of days since. My weight has been up and down since lockdown but definitely always a little bit more up. Asides from lockdown which is such a big problem, I’ve still also got this hip pain for which I was supposed to go for a scan before lockdown. Now I can walk (not too much) and I can cycle. Life won’t realistically get back to normal for months and I now realise how much I counted on being active and exercise as a weight loss (and sanity) tool. I’m still adapting to the new situation. Food is also an issue as prices have gone up, as a one income household I already found it a squeeze to buy all veggies and fresh food, now it’s really a problem. It’ll take time to get used to this but I’m sure we’ll all get there eventually

05/08 157.6 (-0.0) 10296 steps, 4km walk. Not surprised that I didn’t loose anything yesterday. I was within calories but only with the added walk benefit, I ate too much at lunch time and thinking of fasting for the rest of the day but didn’t make it. But this time I planned all todays meals in advance, including snacks, now I just have to stick with it. I’ll try and get a bike ride done today, I’m soooo tired! My daughter hasn’t slept well since the beginning of lockdown… she says she’s scared of the story of the bogeyman which she’s just discovered, I think it’s more this weird situation that’s coming out, she’s 11. I’ve been going on 4-5hrs of sleep for the last 2 months, feels like having a new born again lol

05/09 157.0 (-0.6) no steps, I didn’t even put on my garmin, just exchausted lol But happy to see at least a little loss even though I didn’t do any exercise, tiredness got the best of me yesterday and I didn’t do anything. Next week my daughter will stay at her fathers for a few days and I’ll be able to catch up on some much-needed sleep. Today I don’t have that much planned, maybe a bike ride or a walk, I have to plan my daily meals yet this morning and do some cleaning. Tomorrow my father is coming over for a Sunday Roast for the 1st time since lockdown, and then we’ll take some distance again as my daughter will be going back to school 2 days a week and we don’t want to take any risks. Ok, so it's just past 7am here, going to be my day started by putting on my step tracker and doing some steps with a "walk at home" on YouTube

Hope you all have a good day !

05/10 157.0 (0.0) 13.551 steps, 9km walk. Yesterday was a good day, even without any weight loss. It was a lovely day and I went for a long walk in the afternoon. My daughter has started her horse riding lessons again and the stables are outside of town in a lovely area with villages, parks, lakes and forests. It was so nice to get out of the city for a walk, something we haven’t been able to do for 2 months. Today the weather is supposed to turn rainy with a high wind warning, but I’m hoping it’ll happen late enough in the afternoon that I can go for a quick bike ride beforehand. Shops are re-opening this week, I'm wondering if I can take my daughter clothes shopping, she's gone through a growth spurt and asides from some extra warm winter leggings and pullovers which we bought in February nothing fits. It's going to be interesting that's one thing for sure!

Goal – end lower than started......again! - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep this 10 days binge free! Keep calm, wash hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.

Day/Weight/Comment

05/07 134.4 – 10.88 miles walked yesterday. I need to get a grip back on my eating, last couple of days I've been out of control again. Gonna try to get back on today especially because this bank holiday weekend I know I will be more relaxed with VE celebrations albeit at home just me & my DH together, weather permitting in the garden.
05/08 DNW – totally forgot!! When I remembered I was dressed and had eaten breakfast !! 9.63 miles walked yesterday, stayed within calories until clap for NHS & key workers on the doorstep turned into an impromptu street party till 10.45 pm; a few bevies were downed! Have a good VE day, enjoy any celebrations that you have planned in the safety of your own homes/gardens.
05/09 136.6 – well that's the VE day celebration results and do you know what I don't regret it, we got together as a street to celebrate albeit still maintaining social distancing, hung out the flags, some of us dressed up, had afternoon tea and continued through the afternoon into the night, sharing food, drinks, chatting & laughing, had a quiz and ended up with dancing. A brilliant way to bring the community together. I did manage to get a walk in during the morning 7.97 miles. Today back on it!!
05/10 136.6 – 9.31 miles walked yesterday, a really good day foodwise, 390 calories in credit, all macros in green. Was hoping for a slight drop, but we all know loses take much longer than gains, so patience, consistency and determination will win!!

🌻🥀🌹🌷🌹🥀🌼🥀🌻🌹🌷🌹🥀🌻

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.

May: 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!

I'm going to try this again...Thank you all for still being here, was really excited to see this challenge still going from when I used it over 2 years ago. I didn't achieve much last round...except for starting the habit of daily accountability. This round I'm going to work more on my food habits, I need to figure out a way to keep shoving bad snacks in my face in the late afternoon and later evening.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/07: 182.2 - basically back where I started at the beginning of last round. We've been filling in our Family calendar with national and international celebration days since there are not band rehearsals, sports, volunteer groups happening right now...and yesterday was "No Diet Day" so my boys requested all the fried food and poutine....we haven't had poutine in over 2 months, it's usually only an eat out treat for us, but my "homemade" version was SOOOOO good....
05/08: 179.2 - flushed a lot of that end of cycle hormone bloat yesterday, I could almost feel it leaving thought the day. Food choices were great!! Had extra salad instead of the noodles I made for everyone else as a side at dinner last night. Found out yesterday that the August gift show I usually work on for my main freelance clients has officially been cancelled for this year. It's one of my main gigs and at this point I'm usually putting together planograms and sample orders for it....I'm still hopeful that as our province begins to re-open more that they'll still be needing me to work in their showrooms. I'm really missing my creative work life right now

05/09: 179.0 - Good day yesterday

great hike with the dog in the morning, kind of boring day but ended with an awesome virtual chat with one of my housemates from university. We've been doing zoom coctail parties every couple of weeks since isolation started, but tonight only she and I could make it, we were going to cancel but so glad we had a chance to connect one on one. We got 2 inches of snow last night...so I'm not very motivated to do our regular morning hike today, maybe I'll get one of the boys to pick up the kettlebells with me this afternoon.

05/10: 177.8 - Unexpected but kind of makes sense...I usually have a big drop the first few days of starting or re-starting a significant change in my eating habits. I think what I was doing last week was blocked by my raging peri-menopausal hormones. Now that is cleared for this cycle my body is self adjusting. Had a good food day and did end up going for a long walk with the dog but no hike in the snow. Looking forward to the Mother's Day Brunch my hubs is picking up from one of our local favourites. We haven't eaten anything not prepared at home since March.

Day/Weight/Comment

5/07/20 - 181.4
I went to a nearby park yesterday for a walk, and holy cow, it was very busy with many groups of 4-8 people on the paths, no masks (except mine), no sense of holding back to allow distancing. I ended up cutting my walk short, getting off the path and onto the grass to get back to my car. I simply don’t get it. I guess I need to get my fanny out very early for walks. On a happier note, I get to pick up a bunch of plants from our Botanical Conservatory’s annual sale this afternoon! Yay!

5/08/20 - 181.6
Now that I have a bunch of new plants to plant, we’re getting a freeze tonight. So the plants are snuggled in for now on top of the washer and dryer. 🌿🌸🌱 We’ve been having some nice conversations. 😁 In the meantime, I have a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread in the oven — the last of my gift list for members of our congregation, although I’m going to bake more bread for friends — the looks on people’s faces when you deliver home baked bread is priceless! 🥖 Plus I love to bake but don’t need the results within snacking distance. It’s a win-win!

5/09/20 - 181.6
Cold night last night, but I covered my tulip buds, and everything else seems to have made it, too. Everything’s coming back to life. Last year this time there was nothing in this bed except the roses and a couple of really hideous shrubs. Now it makes me happy. Have a lovely Saturday, all. Be well.

5/10/20 - 182
Ok, I saw that coming. I went a little nuts last night and snacked in the evening. Emotional eating. But my average over the week is well below maintenance, so this is temporary. Planning a walk if the rain and wind hold off. Maybe a little gardening, too.

I"ve been gone for about two years. Glad to see the 10 day challenge is still here. Took my blood sugar a few days ago and it was well over 300! Gack!! No more fooling around pretending I am PRE-diabetic. I simply MUST at the tender age of 69 start paying attention. So, I'm going to do day/weight/waking blood sugar/walk steps/comment.

Food diary is open. I'm working with delivered food from the community we live in and what we can order from the grocery store.

Day/Weight/Waking Blood Sugar/ Walk Steps/Comment

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.

05/07 120.5 Reaction to carbs. I wasn’t excessive but my body hates them. Only 30 total grams, 26 net but the good news is that those tortilla chips I used to love are really not that good. Amazing how taste changes when you avoid that garbage. Also bloated and my shorts are tight when they were loose a couple of days ago.

05/07: 237.4.
High stress day. Most of them are these days. No workout. Diet not good quality but managed to stay under calories. I really enjoyed the feeling of losses last round, Will be working majority of days this round which usually makes it easier to control calories but harder to work out, so we’ll see. Yoga is really helping me with my shoulder mobility. I used to have to stretch a while before I could raise my right arm overhead and now most of the time I can do it without stretching! Feel like my pants are a little looser.
05/08: 237.4.
I find it weird how I can go for several days without a 0.1 pound change in either direction. Jazzercise 20 min. Yoga 35 min. Today is my 15th day of logging, which may be an all time personal record LOL.
05/09: 237.4.
I’ve been eating all the calories MFP allots me including for exercise. I know what it is allowing for exercise is in no way accurate, how could it be. As much as I am enjoying those extra calories it’s not allowing the scale to budge, sa dly. Went a little crazy today eating takeout pizza and eating my feelings. Will probably have a gain tomorrow but I’ll be back on the horse. No workout.

@deepwoodslady HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope you have a wonderful day! And Re your comment about it's suppose to be Spring in Michigan for goodness sake. Ditto for Maine. I watched it snow on my tulips yesterday and it was beautiful in a weird sort of way, but I can only say this because it didn't hurt them.

Day/Weight/Comment

05/07 : 139.0 (-1.0) I have been hovering around 139 for several weeks now. I know I am eating more carbs etc but I am exercising more too. I still would like to lose 2 but also keep adding more strength work so that might add muscle which weighs more so then its really about how my clothes fit.

05/08: 137.8 (-1.2) No idea why the big drop. Ate ok until the tootsie roll attack. Did walk, strength, and bike so I definitely moved. Good dinner.

05/09: DNW – forgot before I drank coffee etc. and got dressed. Doing a long ride today.

05/10: 139.8 (+2.0) This is laughable. Burned almost a 1000 calories yesterday and did not eat them all back. But the body is a strange chemical reaction. Today is my day. Food and relaxation. Happy Mother’s Day to all!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/06 …..204.9….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/07 …..208.8 ….. Another jump up on the scale from the carbs (restaurant) during yesterday’s business travel. I got the special order of indoor/outdoor carpet picked up for the cabins. It is only available for a very limited time due to Michigan weather so I am thrilled to have gotten it in time and when things are slow enough to have it installed (soon I hope). Even though I am an essential business that supports other essential workers, things have really slowed down. General travel (just for vacation or fun) has been cancelled thru the mandates since March 23. The mandate in Michigan (for the national emergency) is due to expire May 28th, unless extended again. In my area, all summer events have been cancelled. All the money makers and all the things that bring tourists to my community (which will kill my motel business!) However, I do understand that those in my small little town just want to put a wall around it and keep everybody from the cities out. I get it but financially it is difficult. Yesterday in the big city many customers were not wearing masks even though it has been mandated to do so in stores and public places. I would say about 25% had no masks and I was shocked so many of the stores allowed it, including a walmart! It was a very long day. I tried to make a few stops and walk around a bit. My diet was completely off. Today I will be back to normal. Sorry Carbs, Sorry Sodium I will be flushing you away today!

05/08 …..207.2 ….. Goodbye travel bloat! Yesterday had very little movement due to working on electronic downloads and ordering with someone more “expert” than me to help. It was an all-day process. Diet was on point and I was surprised to find no major extra hunger or cravings after a travel day that included extra carbs. That really helped make it much easier to stay on point. Today is more electronic stuff including new downloads to the visa/mc machine which will keep me on the phone awhile for instructions and imputing. I will try to move as much as I can in-between. Snow today in Michigan! Cold & gloomy outside so I will have to pull the ski-machine out again to burn a little. If I can fit in a dance or a Zumba, I will. Have a nice weekend everyone!

05/09 …..204.8 ….. Okay, there goes the rest of the water retention and bloat from the travel. It took two full days, but I’m back to pre-travel weight. I plan on pre-logging food, doing some prep cooking today for the freezer and FINALLY getting some movement back in again, although it will all probably be indoors due to more snow and cold/freezing temps. It’s supposed to be Spring for Goodness Sakes in Michigan! In no way can we plant yet. I can’t WAIT for flowers!

05/10 …..205.2 ….. My 60th Birthday!!!! Happy Birthday to me! So nice that it lands on Mother’s Day this year. A good day yesterday except for the freshly baked banana nut bread my daughter dropped off (wearing her mask of course). We have not been able, still yet, to get flour in our area so this was a nice treat (she had bought in bulk before covid-19). The calories stayed under, the carbs were over but it was worth it. Very moist. So there is an uptick on the scale. Even with my double holiday, I will try to keep it reasonable today. I don’t want to permanently wipe out any progress I am making. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

OSW: 245.0 (sometime in 2015)
RSW/RSBF%: 238.4/20.6 (4/26/2020)

Round 112 EW/EBF%: 232.0 (-6.4)/19.8 (-0.8), AW/ABF%: 232.9 (-5.5)/19.91 (-0.69)

Goal for the round: 3.0 lbs

Weight/BF%/Comment:

5/7: 231.2 (-0.8)/19.7 (-0.1). Finally got myself under my calorie goal for the day (after 3-4 days not doing this). I'm not feeling super-hungry during the day, but I'm still finding myself drawn to snacks at night. As long as I'm staying within my calories I'm "okay," but I feel like there's an opportunity here to get used to "eating when I'm hungry" vs. eating because it's the evening, and because it "feels good" in the moment.

5/8: 230.4 (-0.8)/19.6/ (-0.1). I was a little bit tempted not to track a couple of late night snacks last night. I've been REALLY good about tracking for the past week, and that helped me to avoid the temptation of ignoring a couple of small (but bad) snacks. I do better when I'm accountable. I'm trying to remember that. Weigh-ins are information. Tracked food is information. Being accurate about things is helpful and explanatory. Hiding ANYTHING from here is at least a tiny step toward disappearing. I really don't want to do that again. I like the way I look and feel when I'm healthy and fit. I REALLY want to get back to that place, and I want to STAY THERE.

5/9: 231.2 (+0.8)/19.7 (+0.1).

5/10: 230.0 (-1.2)/19.7 (-0.1). I got busy yesterday and did not make the time to post, but I'm still tracking every day and weighing in every day as well. I think I've mentioned that I tend to overestimate my calories every day. Yesterday, by my calculation, I was WAY over, even though I felt like I did "okay" during the day. I ate what I wanted for dinner, and I did not stuff myself, but I THINK I ended up eating a ton. This weigh-in makes no sense to me, so I'm not going to be surprised if I have a weigh-in or two in the next couple of days that is higher than I would have expected. I've also decided, officially, to cut alcohol completely out of my diet on weekdays, and I'm going to limit myself to two drinks per weekend (either one drink per day, or two drinks on one day). At its core, alcohol is just empty calories. I don't need those. I snacked a bit too much even after eating my "big" dinner last night as well. I REALLY need to get the late night snacking under control. I used to "control" it by have a protein shake if I got hungry at night. I am going to try that again.

Thanks for the validation! It's easy to forget that we're all here for the same reason, and that so many of the experiences we have (that individually feel so shameful/isolating) are pretty universal.

BTW... Happy Mother's Day to everyone!

05/10 - 64.1kg, a plateau! Probably a good thing, wouldn't want to lose too fast ;-)

05/07 - 346.8 - A little tick down. I'm gradually starting to do more with weight/bands and it feels good. I found it feels even better if I stretch or do yoga beforehand. My morning walk is a great warmup, I just gotta keep going.
05/08 - 346.7 - Another little tick down. I like it. I watched a news story about COVID19 starting much earlier than previously thought (late December). Apparently, it was found in Wuhan in early November and in FRANCE in mid-December. I bring this up because in late January, I got a terrible cold and cough I could not shake. Then gave it to my mom. After about 2 weeks, I got concerned enough about my mom that I took her to her doctor. She was given some meds for inflammation and an antibiotic. It took a few days, but she got better. I bring this up because it now seems possible that many of us (up to 20 million) may have had an early version and most of us got over it. Just putting this out there. I'm not letting down my guard, but I'd be pretty happy if we already got thru this and my 82 y.o., breathing-compromised mom got past it, too.
05/09 - 346.5 - And yet another very minor tick down. At least it's not going the other way (LOL). I was watching an old Joe Rogan podcast on YouTube where he sits down with Diamond Dallas Page of DDPYoga. Every time I see him speak and show how he's been able to help those with mobility issues and, to a lesser degree, weight loss, I get motivated to use his product again. Hell, I already pay the $8.99/month, so I may as well get some use out of it.
05/10 - 346.3 - And the little ticks down just keep on keeping on.
