05/13 - 151.9 - I have no idea.... besides maybe a handful of tortilla chips and a fairly salty tasting side dish? I stuck to small portions but maybe the salt did it? I'm getting worried I now won't get to goal or below before end of round. Hoping today is better. Definitely drinking more water to help flush the salt and remaining TOM water weight. All I want is a nap and I just woke up (in the middle of a dream, too! Hello all-day grogginess)

Previous Day's Comments

05/07 - That's a bigger drop than I expected all at once... Only had a couple bites at dinner as I wasn't very hungry -- noticed I really only ate those few bites because I love egg rolls and I wanted to try this place (one of the few in town I had not yet been to/ordered from previously). After that, I was content to go back outside away from the kitchen and food without much issue or feeling deprived. I'm sure I'll be up and down this round, but I'm going to try my hardest to focus on portion control -- even with healthy options, I over-indulge more often than I should. I think if I can portion things out, particularly at dinner, my weight won't bounce around like it has continuously done since I moved here. At least, not as severely (I don't think +/- 5 or more lbs day to day is very good for me given my normal "focused" fluctuations were more like +/- 0.2-1.5lbs depending on sodium intake and hormones).
05/08 - DNP
05/09 - Very happy to be down and didn't expect this much of a drop (or to meet goal so soon!) Busy busy day yesterday and did not get to post. Almost didn't get a chance to weigh in, either. Went to an equine therapy place (I love being around animals), had a very large lunch, and last night was leftover night. Didn't eat but a small handful of chips because my stomach still full-hurt from lunch. Got my fitbit yesterday and I feel normal again. So happy. Upgraded, too, so when I go for walks or try running, I can watch my real-time pace. Now to be good through the weekend and stay under goal! Feeling pretty motivated so hopefully that will carry me through.
05/10 - DNP
05/11 - All good, TOM is on its way and I'm holding on to water weight. Keeping myself busy with work now that BF is out of the house (him and his best friend [we help watch their kids so they're part of who we are social distancing with] took the day off to go target practice) Hoping that staying busy will keep me from overeating or mindlessly boredom eating. Depending on how work is, I may take the dog for a walk. She's a handful to walk with, but it'll be good for us both.
05/12 - TOM did arrive and took some water weight with. Probably would've taken more, but the shooting range the boys went to yesterday is closed on Mondays. So they signed up for a local wine club in town and decided to pick us up girls and take us to 2 wineries for wine tastings (because of COVID, its members only and only 1 tasting per visit, versus the normal 2 or 3). I know very little about wine, and this was my first time at a winery ever, but we are trying to build a stock at the house so the tastings are nice -- lots to learn, especially living in the Napa Valley of Texas. I've counted 26 wineries in town and I know I haven't seen them all. Then the best friend and his wife (fam) made homemade quesadillas with some fajita meat that was about to go bad if not used. Too much cheese for me! Don't know of plans today, but maybe I'll get a chance to take the dog out later for a walk. Raining right now so we will have to be patient. If rain stops, it'll also be a good opportunity to try to salvage a pretty flower I got that apparently cannot survive in a pot -- ground will be wet and moveable after a couple weeks of 90+ degrees and no rain.

edit: I just looked at the weather -- rain and thunderstorms almost daily until the 22nd and scattered throughout today. Maybe the walk with the dog will have to be postponed.

One thing I work on daily is patience. I am such an impatient person (with everything, not just losing weight). I forget how much you can tell when you lose just a pound or two. No one else can see such a small loss, but i can, and it's nice to have those short-term reminders that it's working. I get it in my head some time that I'm stuck in time exactly where I am until I hit that magical goal weight 6 months from now and it seems so daunting, but then reminded when I stick with it, that I'm getting healthier and seeing/feeling results every day.

Day/Weight/Comment

05/07 – 157.4 lbs 1100 calories, 12,000 steps, IF 16 hours Lots of errand shopping today, hoping to pick a bunch of stuff up for graduation but most exciting I get to go the greenhouse today. YaY!

05/08 - 157.2 lbs, 900 calories, 10,000 steps, IF 16 hours. Feeling hugely relieved getting most of my Graduation shopping done, including the cake ordered. Unfortunately I can't plant my plants in pots, This morning we were 25 and tomorrow we are to have a low of 20 with 1-3 inches of snow and 30 mph sustained wind. Ugh!

05/09 - 158.6 lbs 1100 calories, 16,000 steps IF 16 hours. We definitely got the sleet and 3 inches of snow.

05/10 - 159.0 lbs 900 calories, 6000 steps IF 16 hours, Finished Quilting a wall hanging for a friends birthday. Happy Mother's Day!

05/11 - 159.2 lbs 1400 calories, 6000 steps IF 16 hours. Back to spring cleaning today. Hopefully the sun comes out, low last night was 20.

05/12 - 158.0 lbs 900 calories, 12,000 steps IF 16 hours. Today looks promising for sun and high maybe mid 40's, yay. Why is it you take most every thing out of a room and love it's look and wish you really didn't have to find room for all that stuff you took out. LOL

05/13 - 157.6 lbs 22,000 steps, IF 16 hours, to busy to count calories but it was the same thing I usually eat with no snacking. More rain, at least I can spring clean and not worry about doing any yard work. LOL

maintain 145-150 Have to track here for accountability
Round 112 SW 151.4 EW 151.4

5/07- 151.2 It would be amazing if I reached goal this challenge, but we'll see.
5/08- 150.2 Holy *kitten*. I'm there. I want to actually get to 150. But I made it. I haven't seen this number since my wedding day in 2002 and prior to that high school. Can I say that I'm way more fit than I have ever been in my life. I'm actually scared about moving to maintenance soon, but I'm not thinking maintenance yet. I know how these roller coasters go.
5/09- 149.4 YAY! I reached goal! OMG. I almost can't believe it. I even had chinese carry out last night, but hiked a good 5 miles. WOW! Just wow. Will FP adjust my calories to maintenance automatically or do I need to go change something? I'm going to complete this challenge because this is a lifestyle change and I'm pretty sure I'll need to keep logging to stay on track and continue to make good choices.
5/10-150.4
5/11- 152.2 I'm so not surprised. I went way over calories. My mom brought a cherry pie and I ate 2 pieces, and cookies and carry out. It was probably worth it. I haven't adjusted my goal as I now I have to get down 2 lbs again. I'm going to spend some time trying to figure out what I want maintenance to be. Probably anything below 150. And I'm not there consistently at all yet. But that's OK. This isn't a race.
5/12- 151.8 getting back to where I need to be. I've felt a little run down did no work out/activity which is rare for me. It was also freezing here.
5/13- 149.4 good

05/07 122.6 Sweet, lost another .2! Yesterday was good food wise. I made carnitas in the pressure cooker last night for dinner and turned them into bowls with brown rice, black beans, and mango salsa. They were yummy and will be dinner tonight too! Had another good walk this morning, around 3.5 miles. Last night was fun and I had a random sober dance party for like 45 minutes because my husband was listening to throw back pop songs covered by heavy metal singers. So, I couldn’t help but dance while he continued to be on the computer and enjoy his beverages. Have a good day everyone 😊.
05/08 123.2 Water weight fluctuations are fun, this is probably due to my salty dinner last night but man was that Annie’s Mac and Cheese worth it. I had a craving and indulged but I did manage to stay within calories. I also savored every bite! So, it’s all good. I even squeezed in an impromptu cardio session before dinner last night! Just got back from our morning walk and it was accidentally extra long at 5.5 miles. I’ll take it 😊.

05/09 123.2 I’ll take the steadiness at least. Maybe I’ll drop tomorrow. Who knows. Bodies are so weird when it comes to weight loss. Today was decent with food but kind of a hard day to track my dinner. I made myself an awesome bowl of oatmeal for my breakfast/lunch @ 11 because I intermittent fast. Then for dinner I made buffalo chicken cutlets so that was hard to calculate. I probably ate about 5 oz of chicken with a ¼ cup bread crumbs made from Ezekiel bread (the only stuff I had to make crumbs with) and a couple tablespoons worth of oil. There was also some hand made fries cooked in the air fryer. So, I did the best I could with my estimates and I guess that’s all you can do. I’m pretty sleepy today and was happy that I attended a virtual christening for my baby cousin because it gave me an opportunity to see some family via Webex and lay in bed for a couple hours 😊. It’s been a solid day. Have a good night everyone!

05/10 122.8 Was busy with stuff for mother’s day and didn’t have a chance to pop in here. I made a pot roast in the pressure cooker with some carrots and parsnips. Then, I made some mashed potatoes to go with it. It was a nice family dinner with my in-laws and my mother in law appreciated me cooking it all. We live with them but don’t typically eat with them because our living space is separate from theirs. Didn’t really exercise this weekend except for some nice stretching on Saturday. My body definitely needed the rest though.

05/11 122.8 Feeling a little slow moving today. We went on our usual walk but kept it to around 5k this morning. I might break my fast early this morning and have some tea because I have zero ambition to do any work today. Have a great day everyone!

05/12 122.8 Hey all! Feeling much better today. I got a good night’s sleep and have a feeling the weight will be dropping this week because the hormonal water weight/ and ish will be clearing out soon. Energy is up and we went for an almost 5 mile walk today 😊. Food went well yesterday, and today’s plan is looking good too! I’ll be making some maple blueberry breakfast sausage that came in our CSA to be part of my first meal of the day. I’m excited to try it because it’s new to me! Have an awesome day!

05/13 122.8 I’ll take this little stagnation, I’m just grateful to be maintaining it. My body feels good, so I’m happy with that. We did a 4-mile walk this morning and I did a 15ish minute bodyweight workout this morning. The energy is slowly starting to come back again. It’s so interesting how hormone fluctuations can make you feel throughout the month. I’m also going to try some fennel and dandelion tea to see if this weight is just a bit of fluid retention. I also had a carb-heavy dinner but it was so good! It felt and looked like a restaurant meal. We had dry-packed gnocchi with frozen meatballs, Rao’s marinara (our favorite sauce to treat ourselves) fresh basil and romano cheese on top. The best part is that it was within my calories for the day 😊. I included a picture because it looked so pretty too! Although, I know my photography skills need major improvement lol. Have a fabulous day!

05/08 60.0kg after run and workout
05/09 60.0kg
05/10 60.55kg...no workout and plenty of calories
05/11 59.95kg...no idea how after the calories from yesterday!
05/12 60.0kg

05/13 59.35kg! Nice to see. Now to work on getting under 59kg by the end of the round

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m in my 50’s
OSW-187 Sept. 2018

Goal Weight this Round: Stay in 50’s
Drink plenty of water and get the boxes unpacked.
RSW-153 RGW-150
5/7-153-Off to meet movers to load the truck. Long day.
5/8-DNW
5/9-154-I’m OK with this. The movers brought our items from storage and I walked 5.5 miles putting it away. We are in the process of moving from where we have lived for the last year and it is hot. I’m off to the grocery store and will look like a hoarder, loading the empty refrigerator and cupboards.
5/10-154
5/11-153-My husband had our boys surprise me and they showed up to help us get moved and to celebrate Mother’s Day and my birthday. It was a wonderful weekend and we all got to spend the first night in our new house together.
5/12-153-Glad to be holding. I cut up lemons and cucumbers had them in my water all day. Same today; it makes me feel healthy. I’m taking a walk this morning, then by quilt shop that is only open 2 hrs./week. Then back to working on boxes.
5/13-152-Walked some in the morning, then worked on boxes and unpacking and ended up walking 6 miles. Lots of water.

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.
05/11: 179.0 - Didn't even attempt to log my delicious brunch yesterday.
05/12: 180.8?!?! - I'm all over the place....bodies are weird. I do need to lay off the carbs a bit though...everyday I have some extra I bump the water retention.

05/13:179.0 - turned around back in the right direction.

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.

5/11/20 -181.6
Cold nasty wind, rain today....frost again tonight. I’m being extra wimpy about outdoor activity because I don’t want to get any kind of sick right now. I think I’ll order more yarn. 🧶

5/12/20 - 181.8
I spent most of the day yesterday on my butt updating my website and, when I got sick of that, knitting and listening to audio books. I’d forgotten what a rabbit hole that can be! This is supposed to be the last of the chilly days around here. I hope so! I’m itching to get into my garden and to amp up my walking program to get back to my old 5-10 miles a day. I felt so much better when I was doing that. The habit fell by the wayside 2 years ago when I got PMR. It’s time! I hope you’re all doing well.

5/13/20 - 181.8
Trying to cut myself some slack but I’m pretty disappointed in myself righ5 now for regaining so much weight and hanging out in this neighborhood for the past 3.5 months. Not sure if I need a hug or a kick in the pants. Maybe both? Anyway, it’s a lovely day so I’m off to walk on the Rivergreenway and then stop by one of my favorite nurseries—need some happy flowers. Be well!

Hi all, I’m just finding this thread, and am excited to join. I’m a few days late, so I’ll give you 7 days this round, and then join again for the next 10.

About me: 48, mom to 4. I work 50+ hours a week sitting at a desk all day, and am exhausted when I get home at night, so regular exercise is hard for me. I have been working from home for the last 8 weeks, and have gained a few pounds. I am a stress eater, so this whole situation has been hard.

few days late, so I’ll give you 7 days this round, and then join again for the next 10.

I commit for this week (rest of this round), to exercise 30 minutes a day, and to stay within my calorie goals daily. I plan to take it one round at a time.

Round starting weight: 153.2
Round goal weight: 152.5
Ultimate goal weight: 135

05/10: 153.2. Walked for 1 hour this morning, and stayed within my calorie goal despite it being Mother’s Day and lots of treats available.
05/11: 153.7 Not sure why the +.5, but I’m not going to worry about it too much until I see my numbers tomorrow and the rest of the week. Rowed 30 minutes and stayed within my calories. No after-dinner snacking.
05/12: 152.4. I did great on eating and exercise all day, but then had a high-calorie treat at 8 pm. Tomorrow is another day so I’ll get back on track.

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.

05/11 121.0 Great Greek salad always does this. It will pass. Late addition- I weighed last night on the way to bed and almost had a stroke! I was 126!! Up 5.5 from yesterday morning. I got up and peed THREE times during the night! I know it will go back down in a day or two. The advantage of weighing daily and learning my body’s patterns.
05/12 121.0 Online grocery shopping stinks!

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!

05/11 …..205.1 ….. I am posting late because I have been outside cleaning out the barn & storage area. This will be a multi-day project which includes hired help. I’m hoping all my hard work will show up on the scale tomorrow!

05/12 …..205.1 ….. I will be working in the barn again today. I realized that going through totes and boxes does not include much walking but I sure was on my feet a long time yesterday and I anticipate the same today. I kept the calories good yesterday but the choices included carbs that were a bit high and sodium I didn’t really need. Today, no matter how busy I stay, I will try to choose healthier options to keep all the macros in line.

05/13 …..205.1 ….. Exactly the same weight which kind of surprised me. I worked so hard on barn cleaning yesterday. A ton of lifting and sorting. I am very sore today! Finally a beautiful day here with no snow. Temp to reach high of 60 today and no freezing temps tonight so off to the nursery I go with hired help to choose hundreds of flowers (600-1000) to plant for my home and my business too! Lots of work to do today so the calorie burn should be good. The trip to the nursery, however, will eat up about 4 hours of my time due to the travel, but I should get a lot planted this evening. Tomorrow is rain so back to work inside the barn for me tomorrow! Maybe this stagnant scale will finally move!

@deepwoodslady You could have a loss once your muscles heal a bit. A new strength workout can cause water retention, so maybe it could apply to your barn work yesterday too. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/just-started-exercising-gaining-weight/

First full round with the group! Looking for accountability and some slow/consistent changes. This round is about adding activity to my days and not focusing on the past - just where I’m going!

Journey Start: 4/20/2020 155.8 lbs
Journey Goal: 140 lbs
R112 start/end: 152/153.2
Round 113 Goal: 150 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
05/07 152 Off my 153.2 plateau hopefully. It’s time to move the scale this round. I’m motivated.
05/08 151.4 Walked around the neighborhood yesterday and glad I did! 1.4 miles is way better than just the desk to the kitchen! 🤣 Happy Friday! I’m thinking of some weekend intentions to keep on similar schedule and meal times as much as possible.
05/09 152.4
05/10
05/11 153.4 (did not keep routine)
05/12 151.8 Yesterday I recorded but didn’t post because I was reflecting on the gain. It’s going to take more intentional methods to see the scale change. I don’t get excited about intermittent fasting, but that is what works. I’m going to stick with it for the rest of the round.
05/13 152.4 I think my dinner is still with me 🤣 I did walk 1.7 miles yesterday. That felt really good. It’s a brand new day and I’m not giving up.

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)/19.6 (-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.

5/11: 230.0 (0.0)/19.6 (0.0). Mother's Day without making my mother breakfast sucks. First time in 48 years that I haven't been with her. My wife wasn't happy with the day either. At least it's over! I'm REALLY bored with COVID-19.

5/12: 230.0 (0.0)/19.6 (0.0). Three days in a row with no change. One difference was that I was WAY better with my food intake yesterday (vs. the two days before). Another difference was that I weighed in much earlier today than I did over the weekend (and Monday). Today is likely "better than it looks." I'm really wanting to see a number under 230 before this challenge is over. I'm going to try to be patient, and to get even better at meeting my daily calorie intake goals.

5/13: 229.8 (-0.2)/19.6 (0.0). The slightest bit of movement! I'll take it! I ate light during the day yesterday because I knew my wife was going to get some good food delivered last night. I probably was a bit over calories (not sure how to possibly track what I ate), but I believe I successfully practiced "harm reduction."

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
05/11 - 346.1 - Lather, rinse, repeat. At this rate, I won't make the goal this round. But I am starting to exercise more (calisthentics, weights, kettlebell), so that's a good thing.
05/12 - 345.4 - Nice drop. Of course, I worked out twice. After dinner, I did 20 mins. of DDPYoga, then pulled out my TotalGym and worked out chest. Soaked with sweat. This morning I walked for 35 mins., then my shoulder work, squats, deadlifts, rows and RIP trainer for my core. Quick story... after dinner last night I weighed 353.6. After last night workout, 349.8. Then this morning after workout... 345.4. That's an 8.2 lb. change in about 12 hours. I drank some water during this period, but not alot. I read that working out during a fast helps burn more fat since you don't have the sugar fuel. It really has me energized. The only slight drawback is that my knees are a little sore. And these workouts aren't too long, either. Morning is only 30 mins. (plus the walk) and evening is 30 mins. plus the 20 for DDP Yoga.
05/13 - 344.6 - Another really good loss. I worked out again this morning, but missed last night. I got an email that the FBI was hiring (yes, that FBI) for IT and forensics specialists. And the deadline was last night. So, while all other federal jobs go thru a different website (usajobs.com), the FBI has their own. And it was a MESS to navigate. After getting stuck several times, I finally realized that the ONLY web browser that works is MS Edge. And nowhere on their site does it tell you to use that browser. #Frustrating But I finally finished them at 10PM last night. But during the past few days, when I have time to do the workout, I'm soaked with sweat and feel like I really accomplished something.
