October focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 128- Stabilise weight under 150
- 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 by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent 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 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2020
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

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. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle. Getting back to it slowly.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

10/24 - 72.6
10/25 - 72.6
10/26 - 72.7 - Now you can just stop it. After the week I've had I should be much lower than this. I maintained a nice average deficit of just over 500kcals per day last week, so by rights I should be down 0.5kg, not up by that amount. *Sigh*. I mean I _know_ it's probably hormone related fluctuations. And I know if I stick to the course it'll go away. But it doesn't stop it from being frustrating you know. And it's causing my trend weight to climb. I'm not sure it's going to get to my target unless I stop holding onto that weight pronto! However, I did measure myself yesterday, and in general it looks like my measurement are trending downwards. Bust is very much looking like it's going to get back to my "normal" sizing first as it only has half an inch before it gets there. Waist isn't doing fabulous, but is finally consistently down below my top marker. Hips seem to be staying high, I'm not overly upset about that. My final measurement that I like to take is my left thigh, as I find that it's less prone to fluctuations compared to the others, and yep, it's been a steady downwards slope, so that's a happy one. Overall I'm feeeling slimmer. My clothes are fitting a little better/looser so I'm feeling more optimistic than my scale weight would suggest.
10/27 - 72.7 - Marathon not sprint, marathon not sprint, marathon not sprint. Damn it. Still waiting for that drop. Yesterday I was just over maintenance. Not a fabulous day eating wise. I ended up getting a doughnut mid afternoon because I just did not pack enough for lunch. Not making that mistake today. I have a bigger lunch and so shouldn't feel quite a hungry. Also had cake in the evening as well. In general not the best eating day.
10/28 - 72.1 - YES! Finally! I knew that whoosh would come at some point I'm happy it's finally here. We'll have to wait and see if it stays this low, or if it settles higher (If it jumps back up to where it was again tomorrow I swear I'm going to kill someone). A good day eating yesterday too. Or rather actually it was an odd day eating yesterday. I got to 11:30 without feeling hungry so I didn't have my breakfast (as I normally have lunch around 12) and then I was HUNGRY for the next half an hour, but pushed through. I wasn't going to eat lunch early just because of that, besides, I think it was just my brain remembering that food exists. Anyway, I ended up being a little hungry later in the day so I ate my breakfast then, and then wasn't that hungry for dinner. So I skipped what I was going to have and had a much lighter dinner instead. So ended up around level with my goal which is unusual during the week, but very much a good thing. Here's to today!
10/29 - 72.1 - Staying there: Happy me. Fine day eating yesterday. Made extra dinner to have for lunch today, so it's a little on the caloric side, but it should keep me full for the whole day so no chance of snacking. Fitbit ran out of charge overnight so I've lost this morning's activity, so I'm expecting today's burn to be lower than normal on the device, but that shouldn't matter. My body counts it even if my fitbit doesn't. Feeling good today!
10/30 - 72.4 - Oooof, very tough day yesterday and I'm not quite sure why. After eating a largish lunch and a largish dinner, I would've thought that I would feel full, but I wasn't. The hunger monster was very much at large yesterday and unfortunately I did indulge it a bit. And I don't know what it was, but something I ate yesterday has very much disagreed with me because I am super bloated and my guts are not happy this morning (TMI I know). Ugh. Over calories, but still looking at a deficit for the week. I think my active weekends are going to have to do some heavy lifting as far as the week's deficit is going (although that's not unusual). Tired today.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/24 180.4 Pretty proud of myself for yesterday’s self-control. I took my grand baby to a little mountain town fairly close to us yesterday after work for a walk on the greenway. While the greenway is wonderful, as most little mountain towns are this one is full of fudge, candy, and ice cream. I had none! Then when trying to find a place to eat, I left one place because there was literally nothing but junk food (fried stuff or high calorie options) on the menu and went to a place where I could get a better choice. (It was just along our walk, so no one noticed.) This is the kind of self-control it takes for me to be successful, and my body really wanted the ice cream or rich dessert. I just have to say no to this stuff right now. And I did!
10/25 179.2 Yes! Into a new decade in the right direction for a change!
10/26 180.6 It’s OK. It had been straight down for a week, so it was time for a blip up. Weight loss isn’t linear, and I know that. I pulled a meal out of the freezer for early dinner last night before a Halloween event. It was not one that I had carefully calorie/content controlled, so that is probably to blame, too. I was careful with portion control and did really well not being overwhelmed by the Halloween candy all around at the event. I also walked a ton because the event was “Boo at the Zoo,” so I pushed a baby stroller all over the place at the zoo.
10/27 180.2 Good day yesterday. Stayed within calories and got in a walk. Headed back down, so that’s good.
10/28 179.6 Hoping to stay in this decade for a bit now. I was afraid our meal out last night might interfere with getting back down into the 170s, but I walked stairs (lots of them) at work yesterday and got in two walks, then i figured out how to make my favorite meal at this restaurant fit into the day and asked them to leave off the creamy sauce. It was still yummy. Hubby likes to go here a lot, especially while the weather is still nice--they have such a nice outdoor space. I'm glad I found a solution that doesn't undo my hard work. Gotta keep at it though in hopes of not going back up to that other number.
10/29 179.6 Weather is terrible here with rain and wind from the remnants of the hurricane; had to do all exercise inside yesterday and today doesn’t look much better. Still down 2 lbs from the end of the last round, so I’ll take it. I was really craving protein snacks after dinner last night. Had to settle for cheese because I didn’t have much else in the fridge. Gotta fix that. Oh, I started a YouTube adventure yesterday while on my exercise bike. Will be watching a hiker named Dixie thru hike the Continental Divide Trail. I’ve watched some of her AT and PCT hike videos before and she’s fun to watch. I’ll only allow myself to watch while on my bike, so it should last me a while. I know more bad weather is coming, so I’m hoping this motivates me to ride more often.
10/30 180.2 Gave into cravings yesterday, so I was expecting this. Halloween is tomorrow, so this is going to be hard. Gotta do what I can to limit the damage.

11/028 -
Next overall goal is to get back to 142.4, which was my last recorded weight before COVID (was mid-Feb).
For this round, I am trying to be realistic, both my birthday and Halloween are during these 10 days. So I am trying to take off one more pound during the 10 days, while remembering to remain under 145 for my birthday which was my previous goal.

Round 130 – starting weight 144.4
10/24 144.0 Last evening, the day had passed and I had not remembered to get in any formal exercise, so I headed out for another walk, even though the majority of it was after dark. I spent the rest of the evening looking into reflective attire. :P
10/25 142.6 Wonderful surprise number for me. I need to keep yesterday’s food diary in mind. BUT, the number feels too good to be true. Planning to stay the course today (I have pre-tracked through the 27th) and will “check-in” on MFP using tomorrow’s weight for my 59th b-day.
10/26 – Happy 59th to me! 143.0 Super happy with this. Last round my goals were to be under 145.0 for my 59th birthday and it almost looked like it would not happen. Then a few nice losses have got me to 143! I have pre-tracked my birthday (Chinese – 2 cups moo goo gai pan & 1 spring roll) and current plans are to stay under calories, but who knows, I might have a mini splurge. But what? I will be prepared for an unknown morning tomorrow as the Chinese food sodium has potential to create havoc.`
10/27`- 143.0 Actually pleased with that since I had the Chinese food last night and anticipated a sodium uptick.
10/28 – 143.2 Yesterday, for the first time, I mixed in jogging into my walk dropping my avg pace to 13’30’ and the last time I did the same route it was a 14’57” pace. Nice to see measurements of improvement. As for weight, I am not concerned. This is one of the benefits to tracking, I know that there is no caloric reason for a gain today, so it is water retention, or a more realistic number, or just difference in digestive processing. Whatever is the accurate number, it will show itself with time.
10/29 – 142.4 Happy shocked. Curious whether I will still be there on the 31st. I’m not sure why I am losing so well. But I am staying under my goal calories, doing formal exercise every day (min 20 minutes and up to 80), and not eating back those calories. Maybe that’s the magic for me? Or is it just coincidence for the moment?
10/30 131.8 Glad I did not finish yesterday with stress eating. On short notice (ie yesterday afternoon), I am starting today with a tooth extraction under sedation. Will be an interesting day, and curious about scale impacts I may see. Weight drop again? Maybe there is some nervous energy burn going on? Today is supposed to be primarily liquids, so I am guessing calories will not be a huge issue for me today.

ROUND 130 TOTAL:
7 -
I don’t know if this is okay or not! But I want to change my weight goal for the round! I don’t want to make it about the number. And also since my goal is to lose 10 lbs. by next October, I think that is okay? So I am going to put a range in there instead. I hope that is okay!
My main goal is not to be elated or devastated by the scale. It has been a very long, emotionally painful journey with my weight, all of my life. I want so badly to escape my food addiction. I never want to be 338lbs. again but I know it could very well happen. I don’t want to be 115lbs. again because at that weight I was losing my hair and I was sick all of the time and exercising four hours a day, eating less than 800 calories. I just want moderation!
This daily weigh-in has been a good discipline. Hard to get too excited or upset over the scale when one sees how much fluctuation happens regardless of my caloric intake and exercise.
I limit myself to a manageable 3.5 mile run each day, a 20 min morning workout and a 10 minute bedtime workout. And I eat 1,200 6 days a week and 3,600 one day a week. (My high-protein day). No added sugar. No meat.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/24 134lbs. (Here we go! Slow and steady. I only hope for .5 loss every 10 days. I will be okay with what comes!)
10/25 137lbs. (See! But it is okay!)
10/26 137.5lbs. (Slow and steady! Up or down I am still me!)
10/27 137.5lbs. (Still me!)
10/28 138.5lbs. (Okay so this made me sad. Maybe because it is my birthday and also the first one after the death of my mom, and it is coming up in the one year anniversary of her death. And the world-wide pandemic, and systemic racism, and the lack of compassionate leadership and yeah...I guess I am just having a hard day.)

Goal weight for this round: Staying around 113 or dropping to 112 would be nice.
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days10/24 I was a delinquent and didn’t post on the 23rd and 24th.
10/25 114 because of Chinese food last night and eating pattern mish mashed a bit. I’m very happy with the most recent rounds results. I saw the 112 range and was thrilled. This round will be a little challenging because it’s usually where my weight spikes the highest… but we shall see. I would love to maintain around 113. It’s been a busy few days and I went into the office on Friday, so Friday morning I didn’t have a chance to pop in here. Friday was unexpectedly more busy than planned because I ended up going to a restaurant with outdoor dining for the first time since March with a couple of my coworkers. It felt so weird but normal. Then, after doing that I still had to pick up our CSA which moved to a new night. So, it’s just been busy.
Today, has been busy as well, I started by prepping a bunch of Aji Dulce peppers for the freezer. We ordered 5# of them from our csa farm to store for the winter, which took a couple hours to wash and slice them all up. Then, I ate breakfast and did a few things. Afterwards my husband and I took a walk around the neighborhood and got a little lost and walked 6 miles by the time we got home. When we got home, I heated up my takeout leftovers for lunch and then got to work on prepping 3# of mushrooms that we got form our CSA farm as well. I sauteed them in a tiny bit of butter, let them cool and popped it in freezer bags to use in the future. Then, I made our dinner: stuffed butternut squash with sausage, onion, mushroom, apple, cranberries, and sage. It’s baking in the oven now and I can’t wait to eat it! I don’t know if my husband will love it because the squash is not his favorite vegetable. So, we shall see! Have a good Sunday night everyone!
10/26 Did not post
10/27 113.8 I’ll happily take it 😊 I made lamb stew for dinner last night and it was so yummy and so simple in the pressure cooker. I didn’t get any exercise in because I just didn’t make time for it after bringing our kitty to the vet with a kitty cold. He’ll be ok but was just sneezing a lot, so they wanted to check him out. Today, I do plan on doing a 20-30 minute spin bike video during my lunch!
10/28 [113.2] Did not weigh yet (husband goes back to sleep in the living room after I wake up to get ready for work at 6AM and that area is the only level spot in the apartment. The bathroom has uneven tile and the bedroom has carpet). So, I’ll weigh later this morning when he wakes up. Last night I made a kale salad with olive oil, lemon juice, fresh corn from the cob, and chili lime seasoning, Then, pork chops with an apple cider glaze for the main dish, which was super yummy. I also roasted potatoes and Romanesco (it looks like spiky green cauliflower) to go with it and had some homemade thick apple sauce (almost like a healthier version of apple butter) on the side.
10/29 My goal today is to fit a 30 minute spin bike workout into my day somewhere. My food was solid yesterday. I had the rest of the pork chop and apple sauce for breakfast with a fried egg and toast. I recently went into Trader Joe’s for the first time since March, and tried one of their whole wheat breads that has 3g of fiber per slice. It was nice and soft and had a nice chew to it too! I think I’ve found my new whole wheat bread 😊. My snack was an apple with a peanut butter dip. Then dinner was roasted split chicken breast with hakurei turnips and homemade individual portioned scalloped potatoes. For the scalloped potatoes, each ramekin had about 200g worth of sliced potatoes and about 6 oz of evaporated milk and sprinkles of a garlic, onion and pepper combo. Making the scalloped potatoes reminded me of my grandmother, so that was a nice memory to bring up, especially with what would have been her birthday tomorrow.
10/30 Tracked everything yesterday pretty well. I got a 45 minute spin bike ride in at the end of my work day and it happened to be a free live ride on Youtube! I do need to work on moving more throughout the day though. I think I need to set my watch to vibrate when it’s alerting me to move instead of just flashing at me, because lately I’ve been wearing long sleeves, so it covers up the notification. It’s CSA day and I’m so excited to see what goodies are included! Not too sure what we have planned for this weekend, so I’m looking forward to a more laid back one.
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to everyone I have missed over the past couple of weeks!

@xxxSheilaxxx How’d the tooth go? And his are you doing? As of this afternoon, I am having a molar pulled tomorrow morning at 8:30 am. Hope you made it through ok.
It went ok! The swelling went down enough for him to pull it. For some crazy reason I thought it was going to be instant relief, didn't even think about the fact that I was getting a tooth pulled from my head lol, so it hurt quite a bit after the numbing went down. Not anything a few tylenol couldn't help though. Spent the rest of the day doing nothing and had oatmeal for dinner. I'm feeling so much better today. Good luck today!! Thank you for asking!4 -
In for another round! Good luck all

Day/Weight/Comment
10/24 174.2 I made it to the overweight range on the BMI chart! When I get to my first goal of 160 lbs I plan on reevaluating it and deciding how much more I want to lose. Honestly I never thought I would get this far. Happy to say I've stuck to it and I don't plan on stopping!
10/25 174.6 I have an abscessed tooth. I cant get into a dentist until tomorrow and this is the most pain I've ever been in. I can handle a lot of pain but when it comes to my teeth I am the world's biggest baby. The only thing I ate yesterday was mac n cheese. Probably a bump bc of the carbs? Idk. I'm not worried about calories til this thing gets fixed lol.
10/26 175.0 I'm not sure why it's going up. I haven't been able to eat much of anything the last 2 days. I'm going to a dentist today.
10/27 174.6 I went to the dentist yesterday but he wasn't able to pull my tooth because it was still too swollen. It's feeling a little better today, thankfully. Hoping I will be able to eat some real food soon lol
10/28 174.8 I was able to eat yesterday and I definitely did! Too much probably and I didn't track any calories. I refuse to let this stupid tooth halt my progress so I'm back on track today.
10/29 174.2 As excited as I was to reach the overweight range I would love to see 173 point something sometime soon! I get this tooth pulled today!!
10/30 173.6 Happy to see that 3 and even more happy that my mouth doesn't hurt anymore. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
10/24 219.6 Walked 3 miles this evening, tracked, AF. Long car drive returning from the camp. Yesterday I felt like I’m back in sync with following my better habits and plans I started in August. Still in the teens but really sorry to not see the 218 on the scale that I saw earlier in the week before the camp. I know why given my choices at the camp. It’s in the past … moving on.
10/25 218.0 Walked 6 miles, tracked, 4 glasses of wine … my kids surprised me with a birthday party.
10/26 217.1 Walked 4 miles, tracked, AF.
10/27 219.0 🎂🥳 60 years young! Walked 4 miles, tracked everything, 2 glasses of wine. This bounce up is disappointing! I was in a funk and felt hungry which led to many different snacks in the afternoon.
10/28 218.1 Walked 3 miles, tracked everything, 3 glasses of wine + 2 Benedictine and for dinner crab claws appetizer, salmon, roasted veggies at a “fancy” birthday celebration. The thinner me loved getting dressed up.
10/29 218.7 Walked 1 mile, tracked, AF. Fried chicken at lunch was obviously not my friend. Yummy homemade Rustic Hungarian Mushroom Soup for a chilly day.
10/30 217.3 Walked 5 miles, prepared the flower beds, planted snapdragons, pansies, ornamental cabbage & alyssum! tracked, no snacking, 2 glasses of wine. Annual mammogram ✔️

I got this!
🟢10/27 168.8 😐 - I’ll take it. I need to reign in my food choices & get back to my activity. There’s still time to reach my R130 goal if I put my mind to it. I got this!
🟢10/28 169.0 🤨 - not cool. Ate good but no activity. #goals
🟢10/29 169.4 😫 - ok new goal for R130: get back to starting weight. Good news- I know what I need to do; Bad news- I’m not doing it. I got this!
🟢10/30 169.6 🙄 - yep wrong way again. I can definitely tell when I don’t track or really even try. I guess it’s better than putting my all into & then gain. Find the good 😜

SW: 165.8
CW: Not sure what it is today because my scale was out of batteries when I woke up and I’m surely not weighing later in the day! Last weigh-in was 154.4.
This round goal: 152
10/24 - 154.4
It wasn’t a healthy eating day, but I managed to stay in my calorie goals and avoided snacking! Also, I hit exactly 36 oz of Diet Pepsi today. We will celebrate the little things. I also noticed that others posted a cycle goal so I’ve added that.
10/25 – 153.8
This was a pleasant surprise! Today’s been good so far. I’m staying within calorie goals and pre-planning my meals. I’ve avoided snacking. BUT… I blew the Diet Pepsi goal. I blame my DH who kindly surprised me with a fountain drink when he went to the grocery store today. Tomorrow’s a new day!
10/26 – 153.8
10/27 – 154.4 – I was a bit surprised by this as I was on track yesterday, but it’ll come around
10/28 – 152.8 – I’m not happy with my snacking this week. I need to get it under control!
10/29 – missed weigh-in
10/30 – 154.2 – I had a rough couple of days with work and didn’t eat my planned breakfasts and haven’t tracked. I can do better and need to get on it if I’m going to hit my goal this round!
