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!
05/13 120.5 I can’t believe this round is almost over!
05/14 121.5 Fasted until 3PM yesterday and then had one meal and a snack by 8:30, went to bed just before 11.
05/15 120.0 I was right on my macros even after enjoying part of a baked potato with dinner.6 -

@CamandJarvis I hope your ankle feels better! That's so frustrating when those things happen, especially when it's a previously injured ankle.
@matratazola That coconut milk dish is really good and you can add a lot of different veggies to it or keep it as simple as you'd like. The original recipe from the cookbook calls for 1 can of coconut milk, shallots, chilies, and mushrooms. Then a sprinkle of cilantro on top to add some freshness. We usually add a couple extra veggies, this time we used carrots, parsnips, onions, dried Thai chilies because we didn't have fresh chilies, and mushrooms. It's nice because it's a comforting dish that you can eat a bowl full of and it's not damaging. I also add a dash of garlic powder too!
@tishawj I hope your calf continues to feel better! Those can be so painful when they get pulled, that has happened to someone I know just by stepping onto or off of a sidewalk too!4 -

05/15 - 151.2 - I'm okay. That's what happens when dinner plans fall through last minute and we have no option but to eat out (too hungry to not eat) -- definitely sodium jump. Doubt I'll make my goal tomorrow but I'm definitely going to try to drop down to low 150.x I'm fine, its life and unexpected things happen. Lots of driving today so pushing water and fasting as much as I can. Hopefully it doesn't ruin my hopes of 150.x (though I'll be sitting as much as I will be at home -- ankle started bruising but swelling went down a bit. Still painful to walk so minimizing weight-bearing movement
05/16
Previous Day's Comments05/07 - 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.
05/13 - 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)
05/14 - That's surprising! Was invited to partake in a homemade spaghetti bake with homemade garlic bread and cucumber tomato salad a friend made. Tried to portion it, but given it was a bake, it was very hard to get the noodles to cooperate. Considered seconds but glad I did not give in! That's a mini NSV for me (and for BF as he considered seconds as well but ended up not getting it). Figured I'd still be up, especially the way my belly looks (bloated and really squishy -- yesterday it was like that, too, and I was way up). Maybe the rain will hold off (last night weather changed its predictions from 60% chance to 20% chance!) and I can go for a walk. BF has to go help someone pick up a vehicle in a town 2 hours away so he'll be gone for a short bit-- if it works out with my meetings, I'll go for a nice walk (: Need to do something about this crazy squishy belly bloat, its really got my self confidence down. Especially since I've been higher weight with a smaller belly. Ick! Pushing water again today since I'm really slacking at getting even close to my water goal.

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!
05/14 …..205.0 ….. I was hoping for a bigger drop. Yesterday I was gardening all evening after the long trip to the closest nursery. About 50% of the flowers were planted. All the weeds pulled and the dairy doo put down too. Today is cold and rainy so we will be working inside the barn to try and finish that project. I think tomorrow should be better weather, we should be able to finish the flower planting. Today I woke up starving (after days and days of extra hard work). I probably ate too many carbs for one meal so I am going to watch the carbs and calories more carefully for the rest of this very long day. It should be okay.
05/15 …..204.3 ….. Yay!!! Finally a good show on the scale as my hard physical work continues with the barn cleaning and the flower planting/gardening. This inspires me to stay on track! It is going to be a beautiful day here after more rain last night. The birds are chirping and the work awaits. Have a nice weekend everyone!

Round 113 - May 7 to 17
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 168.4 GW – 167 or lower, UGW – 140.
Goals: continue with 12 hr. IF, 5-6 glasses of water a day (I drink lots but it tends to be tea. I limit the black/green to 4 lg. mugs), complete my tracking every day and get some kind of outdoor exercise unless it is raining – in which case indoors. Did not do well on the exercise or IF the last couple of rounds and it shows – a steady creep up.
Day/Weight/Comment
05/07 – 168.4 – This is the most I have ever weighed, period. I am retaining water as my newly sized rings are suddenly tighter and my whole system seems slowed down. It may be that my thyroid meds. need changing but I have been the same dose for about 35 years. So first I’m going to just try drinking lots of water and walking. I have not been great on IF the last week but am quite sure I’m been within maintenance cals.
05/08 – 169.2 – This is crazy. I actually changed the battery in the scale because I couldn’t believe it. Tracked cals. and was under maintenance, IF 12 hrs. and did 20 mins. exercises. Supper was a little salty but something we eat regularly and haven’t noticed a bounce before. Yesterday was rainy but today beautiful so will be working outside.
05/09 – 169 – Tracked all (rather late) and was just at maintenance because of mango and hot choc. in the evening. Think I may have figured out cause of my water retention – black licorice. I don’t eat it often but every once in a long while get a craving for it. I ate about ½ a package in 3 days. I wonder if the craving is because my blood pressure is low because it both raises blood pressure and causes water retention as well as depleting potassium. Anyhow, staying away from it and ate some banana with frozen hascap berries.
05/10
05/11 – 168.8 - Nice Mothers’ Day yesterday – a lot of time on the phone. I hear from my 4 girls regularly but the 2 boys it tends to only be special days. Did not log at all yesterday but noted on Sat. that I was just at maintenance. So going to focus on tracking this next 6 days. Beautiful weather here so a major push this week to get the yard in shape for listing our house. Real Estate here seems to be up, much to our surprise. Maybe a reaction to people wanting to get out of the big city?
05/12 – 168.6 – No IF but did track cals. Kept in maintenance even though I snacked in the evening. Did about 4 hrs. yard work but didn’t count the calories as I think MFP allows way too much for it. I did about 1 hr. that involved some digging and the rest was just sitting cleaning up perennials. I did go for a 20 min. evening walk on some of our steeper streets. Haven’t done that in a long while – so out of shape but a lovely evening.
05/13
05/14 – 167.8 – Nice surprise. Tracked until supper and then was in too much of a hurry to get back outside. I’m guessing calories were maintenance or just under. Yard work all afternoon and evening till it got too cold. May tends to be rainy/showery here so it’s ‘get stuff done’ whenever the rain stops. When I came in cold and tired figured I needed a little snack and hot chocolate. At least I’m not too sore on the arms after all my digging out grass.
05/15 – 167.4 – Another day of digging and not doing so great in the evening. Today, more digging if it doesn’t rain and IF in the evening so I can get the whole benefit of my hard work. Also did some stretches this am to help balance things out.

05/09 - 64.1kg, nothing new, just the same old, 16,000 steps a day, just over 1,000 calories eaten a day
05/10 - 64.1kg, a plateau! Probably a good thing, wouldn't want to lose too fast ;-)
05/11 - 64.1kg, so stuck! But it's better than a bounce to the upside.
05/12 - 64.0kg, should I eat more? Is my metabolism slowing down?
05/13 - 64.7kg, yay! At last a drop. - **edited** to report 63.7kg
05/14 - 63.6kg, noticed the mispost yesterday. The weight's dropping so fast I lose track, ha ha
05/15 - 63.4kg, wow, that's great, hope it holds to the end of this 10-day challenge
05/16 - 63.4kg, finished this round in a good place losing a kilo all up :-)8 -
I"ve been gone for about two years. I’ve been back at this for 1 week and lost 5 pounds. I know it won’t continue at that pace but it’s nice to have the reinforcement that I know how to do it.
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.

05/13 262.8 208 1900 steps. Had a tele-appointment with an endocrinologist today. She gave me a fasting target of 130 and a two-hours-post-meal target of 180. She’s also changing my drugs.
05/14 263.4 198!!
05/15 261.8 203 1300 steps. 80 degrees on pavement in sunshine is enervating. Gotta measure steps around cooler parking garage for warmer weather. Rubber gloves and a mask don’t help!

I' m in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Then I had hip surgery March 10th. Recovery is slow. Sure do want to be back walking!
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

05/14 156.2 lbs -1.0. I believe that this up and down has a lot to due with my digestive system. This might just be my body telling me this is the correct weight for me. If so I’m happy with that as long as I can stay in the 150’s. For me maintaining your weight is just as hard as losing it. This is where in the past I have slacked off and started gaining!! 1,573 Calories, 43 Carbs, 19 Net Carbs and 10,485 steps. I made coconut seed bread no sugar but high in Calories due to seeds. But I’v ate 3 slices!! Yum! 😋

Round 100 SW 245
Round 112 SW 242 (4/27/20)
Round 113 SW 238.6
Goals worked well last round, so I will continue them for one more: Walk at least 20 minutes every day, log food, avoid sugar and alcohol and the usual empty calories, take my meds every day on schedule, and drink my water. With those goals, my target weight for this cycle is 236.
05/07 Weight 238.8; Goals - walk: yes, 90 minutes; food: yes, 500 calories under; empty calories: 200, could have done better; med: yes; water: yes, 8.
05/08 Weight 238.4; Goals- walk: yes, 65 minutes;food: yes, 500 calories under; empty calories 250 too many; meds: yes; water: yes, 8. Stayed within my calories, but dinner was mediocre pizza from a local restaurant. Really disappointing, and I physically feel bloated and lousy. It's going to be below freezing tonight, so my morning walk may or may not take place tomorrow. Let's see how the weight and blood sugar look in the morning.
05/09 Weight 236.6; I am highly suspicious that this is a scale prank, we'll find out tomorrow. But even if it is tease it is very nice to see! Blood sugar was excellent (for me) this morning, 86. Goals - walk: yes, 90 minutes; log food: yes, 500 under; empty calories: FAIL. Too many, I am getting sloppy on this again; meds: yes; water: yes, 10 so far.
05/10 Mothers Day was strange and it disrupted a lot of the routine. Spent a good deal of time standing in my mother's, and then later my step-mother's, front yards social distancing and visiting. Early dinner was take out Chinese food, at my wife's request. It was my only meal of the day and it STILL almost busted my calories. Weight 236.6; Goals - walk, no, first miss on this in weeks; log food: yes, under but just barely; empty calories: not many; meds: yes; water: 9.
05/11 Beautiful day for a walk! Weight 236.6; blood sugar this morning: 89; Goals - walk: yes, 80 minutes; log food: yes, 500 under; empty calories: 140; meds: yes; water: 11 so far.
05/12 Weight 236.2; blood sugar this morning 89; Goals - walk: yes, 30 minutes; log food: yes, but misjudged it, went 200 calories over. ugh. empty calories: NONE - no snacks. meds: yes; water: yes,9.
05/13 Weight 235.8, which is better than my goal for the week!; sugar was 75 this morning; Goals - Walk: yes, 48 minutes at a faster pace than usual. I was pushing it to see how quickly I could finish 3.2 miles; log food: yes, just below target; empty calories: 145; meds: yes; water: 9 and counting.
05/14 Great day for me! Weight 234.8 (!) blood sugar was 100 this morning; Goals - Walk: yes, 80 minutes / 4 miles; log food: yes, 370 under; empty calories: too many, old habits die hard; meds: yes; water: yes, 10.
05/15 Weight 235.2, had to bounce sooner or later, blood sugar this AM 100; Goals - Walk: yes, 70 minutes; log food: yes, 350 under; empty calories: about 200; meds: yes; water: yes, 11.

Last weight 05/06: 237.4
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, sadly. 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.
05/10: 238.8. Cardio (Shape) 27 min. Yoga 35 min.
05/11: 238.8 Really surprised I didn’t have a gain today. Cardio (Shape) 27 min. Yoga 35 min. Back to work today after 8 weeks. Happy that I came home and worked out.

05/13 DNW
Nutrition is pretty atrocious this week. Gone for work from 7:15a-9:15p
05/14: 238.8.
Back to work and putting in extremely long hours this week. Need to accept that if I don’t gain this round it will be an accomplishment. Hoping for and expecting more balance next week.
05/15: DNW.
Debating whether to even post this since work has taken over my life while my workplace preps to reopen Monday. I have the next two days off, so I really want to weigh, track, and work out without allowing any stagnation or gains to give me an excuse to quit. There are going to be weeks (rounds) like this for me and that’s ok. I don’t want to quit and that gives me hope that I will succeed eventually. I think the act of writing this mini health diary for this group is helping me.

Previous days:
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!
05/11 157.0 (0.0) Status quo. It was Mother’s Day here in Belgium yesterday so I had a nice family meal and some delicious chocolate cake for dessert. My father came over for lunch, we stayed with masks on just in case except for eating of course when he sat at one end of the table and us at the other, it was a bit weird! His health isn’t good in general so we’re minimizing risks. Bad weather hit mid-morning so there was no question of going out anywhere for the whole day. I avoided the fridge for the rest of the day and had a plate of leftover vegetables for dinner. All in all, a good day, yet again even without any loss, because more is up as we can go outside a little more now. Today is a busy day and I’m even going into the office for a couple of hours later. Taking the bike as well 😊
05/12 156.4 (-0.6) not a lot of steps but more than 1000 cal left over due to extra cycling. Gosh what a difference having a busy day does, I was out most of the day which was so nice and didn’t think of food at all. I went to the office, we’re not reopening till mid-June probably, everything is going on as normal for us with videoconferences although everyone is looking forward to going back to normal. Today I’m planning a 2h walk while my daughter is at her horse-riding lesson. We’ll see later if we feel like doing anything in the afternoon. Have a good day all 😊
05/12 157.6 (+1.2) 10472 steps, 8km walk, not sure at all where that gain came from, in fact weighed myself twice as I thought I had misread … Well it’s another day today and the highlight today is that it’s food shopping day. I’ve planned my meals for a week and it all looks healthy, I’ll get extra fruit and stuff for snacks. No exercise planned today as I woke up with an arthritis flare my joints are stiff and achy
05/13 156.0 (-1.6) rest day. As I said yesterday, I had no idea where that gain had come from and I’m very happy to see it disappear overnight with a little extra! I’ve still some pain in joints and general tiredness so it’ll probably be another rest day today. This morning I had an early rheumatologist appointment for my quarterly check-up, he had a look at the pain in my hip I have every time I try to run, it seems I’ve done something to the sacroiliac joint and I need an MRI to see what the problem is exactly, I don’t think I’ll be able to run any time soon, thank goodness I can still use my bike! Yesterday I went shopping and bought lots of healthy food to nibble on.
05/15 156.0 (0.0) rest day, 1250 cal. Yesterday was a nice restful day, I cooked healthy foods (vegetable and beans dish for lunch and tofu stir fry for dinner). The arthritis flare is nearly finished so tomorrow I’ll do some exercise. For lunch I have planned leftover beans and vegetables dish from yesterday and I’m then grilled fish and grilled vegetables for dinner. I’m at last getting consistent again about logging my food, even if it’s taken me nearly the whole round to get back to doing this
05/16 155.2 (-0.8) That was a surprise this morning, especially as I had cereal during the middle of the night as I couldn’t sleep and was still looking at the ceiling at 3am, but I had been very good during the day, lots of protein and veggies, few carbs It ends this round on a good loss which is really motivating for the next round. I’ll try and do as well today, I only slept a few hours and tiredness always makes me crave carbs! I’m stressing about my daughter going back to school Monday, her school year being the 1st allowed back in our country, later I'm going to pick up a few extra cloth masks for her, also going to get some saddle bags for my bike that I ordered. This afternoon I'm going for a bike ride with a friend. Hip is aching so it'll be an easy ride!
