SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113
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 days 10/24 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. 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!
10/31 113.0 Nice, I’m back down to where I started on the 23rd. I got a spin bike workout in this morning and will be meal planning today because we got an abundance of beautiful produce from our CSA. I’m so excited to cook with sugar pumpkin for the first time! I want to roast it and then make a soup or maybe a healthy baked goodie with it! I see a lot of vegetables in my future because we bumped up our csa share from their small one to their full sized one. The increase in volume is a pretty darn good difference from their small share. I’m not sure what is on the agenda yet for food this weekend except for eating bok choi stems as a snack because we got a head of bok choi too.
11/01 So, I’ve decided I’m going into maintenance mode because I’m very satisfied with my progress and will rethink things come January and see if I feel like trying to reach 110. I’ll still have a minor deficit (100-150 calories a day) during the week for a suuuuper slow loss or to make up for any extra calories I eat over the weekend. With my birthday coming up next weekend and the holidays, eating perfect is going to be more challenging. So, I’ll focus on eating the best I can but not freaking out if a couple weekends are higher than planned. I’ll continue to exercise, log, and pop in here daily to keep my head in the game a bit. Happy November!

10/25: 283.4 (-0.6) ⬇️ happy to still be going in right direction! 😊
10/26: 282.6 (-0.8) ⬇️ Slowly, but surely wins the race. 😂.
10/27: 280.6 (-2 lbs) ⬇️ Now this is more like it. 😃 Everything is looking good so far, and I hope it continues that way. Since I've already reached my goal for this round (282 lbs) I've decided not to set another goal, but see where it goes from here.
10/28: 280.4 (-0.2) ⬇️ Still a loss and I'll take it over a gain anytime. I'm getting a new scale today and I hope it shows the same weight or less, then my old scale. There's always a little uneasiness with getting a new one, because you wonder if the old one was giving you the correct weight. I'll know for sure when I weigh in the morning. Keep your fingers 🤞crossed. Lol 😅
10/29: 279.4 (-1) ⬇️ I don't know how it happened, 😚 because I went over my calorie intake for the day. I was so sure I'd gain this morning. I'm really glad for whatever reason I didn't gain. 😊
10/30: 279.4 (0) 😊
10/31: 281.4 (+2) Probably water retention.☹️ I've only got two more days to lose this regain weight before this round is over. 😳
11/1: 281.2 (-2 oz) ⬇️ Still have (1.8 lbs) left of regain weight to lose.
Won't be posting weight tomorrow it's going to be a busy day. But, here's my

10/26 - 143
10/27 - 144 - I had a lot of sodium yesterday, but I expect some of this is from my weekend snacking. Weight loss calories and plenty of water for the rest of the week!
10/28 - 143.5
10/29 - 144 - I had a very emotional day yesterday. My daughter's Covid test came back negative after an exposure at her office last week which was a huge relief, then I learned one of my client's passed away from Covid. Although I didn't eat comfort foods through the rollercoaster of emotions, I've noticed that I can retain water when I'm especially stressed.

November focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

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.

Round 129 (7): 158.4 to 152.8 (-5.6)
🏃 10/24: 153.8 I'm starting with a high spike. Again, I don't mind because it gives me more to lose this round! I know I was within calories and drank water. My salt content was higher than normal, so this isn't surprising. I am working on organizing my Just Dance songs and making playlists for my next workout. I also still feel great from my last Ring Fit Adventure workout.
🏃 10/25: 153.2 I played one hour of Just Dance on my Switch today.
🏃 10/26: 152 I'm glad I finally dropped that pesky water weight and happy with how I feel after my Just Dance workout last night. It was finally fun now that I have a play list I like.
🏃 10/27: 152.4
🏃 10/28: 152.6
🏃 10/29: 152.6 Here I am still around 152. I haven't really been logging my food as I should, but I don't believe I am overeating. I have been portion controlling by eating on tiny plates. I think my body is just really happy to have gotten to 152, and I don't blame it. I am searching all over my house for my belts because I finally need them again. I feel great both physically and mentally. I am looking forward to playing my Ring Fit Adventure or Just Dance today to just let my body know we're not supposed to be in maintenance mode, yet!
🏃 10/30: 152.2
🏃 10/31: 152.4
🏃 11/01: 152 I'm at peace with not reaching my goal this round. I'm happy to be going back in the right direction and losing at least a good 8 ounces overall if I can hold this number. Staying steady is always better than going up! I had a good hour long walk yesterday just by taking my kids out trick-or-treating. I ate tortilla soup today and a shrimp salad. I am in a Star Trek fitness group on Facebook and they started a 30 day squat challenge, so I did 30 squats today.

Went a little over my goal calories today, but managed to stay under maintenance. I'm in peak assessment time, so not getting enough movement in. One day at a time, one essay at a time, and it will be over for another year before I know it.

Went out to dinner for a lovely steak. It is always harder to calculate calories at restaurants, so I gave myself a big buffer with my goal.

Round 130: DAY TEN
Starting weight: 349.2
Round 130 starting weight: 335.2
Aim: lose 1.3lbs (333.9)
Goals: weigh in every day and also post calories for the previous day
10/24: 335.9 (yesterday cals = 1652) - disappointing but sticking with it. Obviously...
10/25: 335.2 (yesterday cals = 1601) - down a bit, which is good, but god it's slow.
10/26: 335.2 (didn't count) - that's good that it's going down. Keep at it!
10/27: 335.2 (yesterday cals = 1302) - I seem to be stuck on this weight, but it's good to hold steady I guess!
10/28: 334.2 (yesterday cals = 1345) - so good to see the scales come down, yay!
10/29: 333.8 (yesterday cals = 1339) - oh wow, can't believe this! They'll bounce up but good to see
10/30: 333.8 (yesterday cals = 1324) - holding firm on the loss, that's good news!
10/30: 333.3 (yesterday cals = 1630) - really pleased with this! Two more days.
11/01: 333.2 (didn't count) - really pleased, just want to stay under for the final weigh in tomorrow:)
11/02: 333.2 (didn't count) - yes!!!!! so pleased, I got 2lbs for this round, which was more than I had hoped for; on to the next round

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
10/31 - 72.2
11/01 - 72.2
11/02 - 72.2 - I don't know how to feel about this weight. But I'm glad I keep a spreadsheet. Last week continued to be hard, yesterday involved a trip to ikea (surprisingly quiet considering we're about to go into another lockdown, we were expecting it to be rammed). And a KFC on the way home. It feels like I'm not getting the loss that I want, but looking at my numbers, I am seeing a very slow loss, and I am losing almost inline with how much I should be losing considering my in vs out. I think I just need to either eat less, or burn more. Eating less is really very hard for me at the moment, there's a few small swaps I can make, but I think I'll struggle getting any lower. So my plan for this next month (and 3 rounds) will be to try an up my NEAT a little. Realistically I'm thinking of doing that by getting a walk in at lunch (even if it's just a short one), and maybe getting out for a 5 minute walk around the block mid afternoon too. It might only be a short walk, but they'll all add up! Of course, depending on how lockdown effects my working position (aka, if I'm back wfh every day) then that might go all out of the window, and then I'll have to work out something new, but I'll hear what work's plan is either today or tomorrow.
Round summary:
End weight: 72.2 (-0.6 from last round)
End trend weight: 72.4 (-0.2 from last round)
Tough round. Looking into strategies for upping my NEAT for next round.

In for another round! Good luck all
SW 215 lbs
GW 160ish lbs
RSW 175.0 (10/23)
RGW 173.6 lbs
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!
10/31 176.0 Well getting that tooth pulled...
11/01 178.8 I think a lot of this is water, I'm hoping anyway!
11/02 175.4 That's a little better. This is the first round that I've gained in. Good luck in the next round!7 -

10/25 - 143.5 - My stress snacking is showing up. It's time to get it under control.
10/26 - 143
10/27 - 144 - I had a lot of sodium yesterday, but I expect some of this is from my weekend snacking. Weight loss calories and plenty of water for the rest of the week!
10/28 - 143.5
10/29 - 144 - I had a very emotional day yesterday. My daughter's Covid test came back negative after an exposure at her office last week which was a huge relief, then I learned one of my client's passed away from Covid. Although I didn't eat comfort foods through the rollercoaster of emotions, I've noticed that I can retain water when I'm especially stressed.

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.

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 – 141.8 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.
10/31 – 142.2 – Haha, just saw I typed 131.8 yesterday (now corrected). Must be a fraudian slip. Fine with the slight up as I never expected to lose this much this round. Wondering if it is not an Advil thing. Tooth extraction went fine, so I did not forfeit other challenges I am in. I got up at 6 am yesterday and did all the exercise I needed for the remainder of those challenges before heading to the surgeon. Calories certainly were not an issue for most of yesterday since it was liquid diet day. But I was crazy hungry as the day ended. Found some cream cheese and almond butter to give me some fats. Still was under my daily calorie allotment, and went to bed hungry. Curious about today. Woke up with no pain so don’t expect to need meds. Also, hope/plan to get out and do a simple walk. Day will end with me sitting outside in the cold giving out pre-made & quarantined goodie bags to whatever trick or treaters come by. I don’t want them all jammed up at my front door, for their sake and mine. At least with the dental situation, the leftover candy should be less appealing.
11/1 – 142.8 totally deserved that. Let’s see what tomorrow brings
11/2 – 142.2 Yesterday was good. All on track. Exercise was late, but it happened. I honestly, cannot believe that I ended up under 142.4 this round. I had thought it would take two. I am now at the same last recorded weight from Feb 2020, before heading to Florida and COVID rolling in.

11/02 - 152.6 - Something that makes sense - I feel bloated, I look bloated, and the scale is up a bit with what is most likely water weight. Did NOT meet water goal yesterday so all makes perfect sense. It was Sunday football so plenty of salty foods. I'm so sleepy this morning but not quite sure why. Probably a mental thing - have a computer again and I have a week's worth of work to catch up on that I'm not exactly the most excited about. Oh well, it must get done. I think I'll make some tea this morning. I might be more inclined to water if its warmed up. Will try to squeeze in some movement between work if at all possible.
Previous Day's Comments10/24 - DNP
10/25 - Weighed yesterday but didn't have a chance to post. Didn't weigh in this morning because I kept chugging water through the night and I felt it'd be an inaccurate reading. Should be a quiet day with football today. If not, I'll make it a quiet day for myself and let the others go be crazy. Haven't been sleeping in the mornings well. Went to bed around midnight and woke up at 4 (yesterday I went to bed at about 930-10 and woke up at 1:40am). Hopefully tonight is much better
10/26 - Ribs and salty sides - holding on to a lot of water it seems. Got a nice walk in yesterday with the pup. Pouring rain today so no walk for me. Managed 14.5hr fast yesterday, hoping for 18hr today (gets me to 1230). Sleep hasn't been great so took a quick nap after my first meeting and still quite groggy. Rain doesn't help - hello perfect sleeping weather. Should be a quiet simple day.
10/27 - I'm not sure.... I feel way less bloated and heavy so really not sure. Dinner was quite heavy as I tried a new recipe - "Cowboy Stew" and ended up eating later than I'd like because it took so long to cook. Not sure what plans are today but because late dinner, I may have to either pull an OMAD or a 16hr fast. I'll see what the day brings. Ended up putting hardtop back on jeep and it wore me out so no other workout. Not likely to walk today as its spitting rain in 35 degrees out (feels like 27, brrr). I don't handle cold well - I'm the one in a jacket at 70 degrees! Glad I got my garden blanket Sunday and put it up last night - I'd have lost my peppers! Hoping BF will build my "greenhouse supports" onto my raised bed so I can properly secure the blanket. I just pinned it over the cages and wrapped excess around it to get as secure a fit as I could in hopes it'll hold over. This weekend should start to see warmer overnight temps - 50 or so degrees) which will help a lot. I've got so many peppers finally blooming, I don't want to lose them!
10/28 - Had a carb heavy lunch and dinner, but not as bloated as I expected I'd be, though feeling a slight bit of the heaviness that comes after a carby dinner. Heaviness is not as bad as usual, though. Still don't understand why I'm up but feeling/looking less bloated. Oh well. Fasted 16.5hrs yesterday and hoping for 17-18hrs today as that will put me at a late lunch. Shouldn't be too difficult to pull off (: Still rainy and cold here and I'm hating it. I moved to Texas to get warmer weather and yesterday, it was warmer in my hometown in NWIndiana than here! Not fair hahah I'm feeling like a nap may happen today, but that could also be me just waking up and still being groggy. Stayed up last night to watch World Series so my own fault. Looks like its going to be a boring day here, so may do some yoga if I have enough energy once I wake up more. Definitely going to focus on pushing more water, I've been slacking off quite a bit. Still close to goal, but not as intentional about it which is where things have the opportunity to turn ugly and then I'm fighting getting back to goal.
10/29 - I still don't know. I expected to be up because we had curry last night (homemade, but still has plenty of salt). Yesterday was indeed very boring and laid back. BF made me breakfast so ended up only going 14.5hrs. Looks like I'll be driving to San Antonio to pick up a working computer so I'll be able to fast that entire time. At least I'll be able to actually work (yay first of the month reports next week! Okay, maybe not yay, but at least I can do my job again). I had breakfast plans, too, which really sucks. Been waiting since last week for this hahaha And I have a deadline of Nov 1st for a collaboration I want to do with her. Oh well, I may just start it on my own and go from there (:
10/30 - Was in an unexpected rush this morning so I didn't get a chance to weigh in. Broke fast early stopping at a coffee shop but I needed something to get me going. Coffee doesn't give me energy but I've been drinking it so long that I think it acts as a placebo. Almost like a signal to my brain its time to wake up the brain cells and the body whether you like it or not. Having an adults only dinner tonight with the Texas fam. Not yet decided on where we are going, but it'll be good, I'm sure. Ended up going in to work yesterday and had no way to refill my water bottle so I'm very dehydrated this morning. Will definitely be pushing water once I drink this coffee. Fasted 16hrs on the dot, though.
10/31 - I'm confused because I expected to be up. Way up. We had dinner out, wine, and a beer. I didn't fast. I ended my eating window late. I feel a bit bloated but the scale actually flashed 149 at one point. My body is so weird. And I feel dehydrated despite drinking so much water last night (woke up with a super dry mouth - ick!) Possibly going to a car show/trunk or treat today then Fam is going out to a church trunk or treat this evening. I'm dressing up as my goddaughter witch's little black cat. It was cheap and easy and went well together. I have black leggings and shirt, just had to buy a tail and cat ears and I'll give them to her and her brother once halloween is over. Godson is going as batman so I guess I can double as catwoman with his costume? Luckily I'm not big on candy and don't seem to have a sweet tooth lately so I'm not worried about splurging there. Oh, and super excited for the full moon! First time in 76 years for this one (: Space nerd has to throw that one in. NSV: Today marks 4 years since my spinal fusion. Doc said it takes 3-5 years for the fusion to fully heal so I decided I'd call the middle, 4 years, my fully healed part. Haven't had images (don't need them since it was stable enough at 12 months for surgeon to call it good), but I'm going to go with my original plan and officially say today my surgery healing is over and I am completely fused. Finally. Happy Halloween everyone!!!
11/01 - And I'm feeling/looking less bloated, feeling much lighter than before and yet my weight says opposite. I'm really really confused. Why when I look and feel like I've lost, the scale shows a gain but when I look 3-4 months pregnant with pure bloat and heaviness, the scale shows me at a loss? Makes no sense. At this point, I'm just focusing on feeling better and feeling confident in how I look (specifically not swollen). Fasting didn't last long yesterday but was only 15 minutes shy of 16hrs today. Back to longer fasting tomorrow. I really need to get more consistent - weekends are naturally shorter fasts and I'm pretty good about that, but my week days have not been consistent in almost any way. Hopefully now that I have a work computer again, I can work to stay distracted and not sit and watch the clock in boredom. I'm not giving up, I'm just having to reframe the way I look at things since the scale is so wonky compared to look/feel. Thankful for all of you here so I can keep record of weight vs feeling. The weight may look like I'm failing but I know I'm not. Just a lesson to learn and overcome for a better mindset. The scale will not control me

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.

🏃 10/24: 153.8 I'm starting with a high spike. Again, I don't mind because it gives me more to lose this round! I know I was within calories and drank water. My salt content was higher than normal, so this isn't surprising. I am working on organizing my Just Dance songs and making playlists for my next workout. I also still feel great from my last Ring Fit Adventure workout.
🏃 10/25: 153.2 I played one hour of Just Dance on my Switch today.
🏃 10/26: 152 I'm glad I finally dropped that pesky water weight and happy with how I feel after my Just Dance workout last night. It was finally fun now that I have a play list I like.
🏃 10/27: 152.4
🏃 10/28: 152.6
🏃 10/29: 152.6 Here I am still around 152. I haven't really been logging my food as I should, but I don't believe I am overeating. I have been portion controlling by eating on tiny plates. I think my body is just really happy to have gotten to 152, and I don't blame it. I am searching all over my house for my belts because I finally need them again. I feel great both physically and mentally. I am looking forward to playing my Ring Fit Adventure or Just Dance today to just let my body know we're not supposed to be in maintenance mode, yet!
🏃 10/30: 152.2
🏃 10/31: 152.4
🏃 11/01: 152 I'm at peace with not reaching my goal this round. I'm happy to be going back in the right direction and losing at least a good 8 ounces overall if I can hold this number. Staying steady is always better than going up! I had a good hour long walk yesterday just by taking my kids out trick-or-treating. I ate tortilla soup today.
🏃 11/02: 151.8 It took all 10 days, but I finally made it to the 151 range! It's the upper range, so I realize I may see 152 again, but it sure is a wonderful way to finish off the round! It's hard to be patient with the slow rounds, but one pound is actually a healthy amount of weight to lose in 10 days! If I do nothing else, today I will complete the 50 squats as stated in the my Star Trek Squat Challenge. I did 30 yesterday.

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. 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!
10/31 113.0 Nice, I’m back down to where I started on the 23rd. I got a spin bike workout in this morning and will be meal planning today because we got an abundance of beautiful produce from our CSA. I’m so excited to cook with sugar pumpkin for the first time! I want to roast it and then make a soup or maybe a healthy baked goodie with it! I see a lot of vegetables in my future because we bumped up our csa share from their small one to their full sized one. The increase in volume is a pretty darn good difference from their small share. I’m not sure what is on the agenda yet for food this weekend except for eating bok choi stems as a snack because we got a head of bok choi too.
11/01 So, I’ve decided I’m going into maintenance mode because I’m very satisfied with my progress and will rethink things come January and see if I feel like trying to reach 110. I’ll still have a minor deficit (100-150 calories a day) during the week for a suuuuper slow loss or to make up for any extra calories I eat over the weekend. With my birthday coming up next weekend and the holidays, eating perfect is going to be more challenging. So, I’ll focus on eating the best I can but not freaking out if a couple weekends are higher than planned. I’ll continue to exercise, log, and pop in here daily to keep my head in the game a bit. Happy November!
11/02 113.8 I had a salty lunch yesterday, so my number on the scale reflects it. Although, I balanced lunch with a light dinner. I made pumpkin puree last night with the sugar pumpkin we got in our csa. OH MY GOSH, canned pumpkin is officially ruined for me after trying the pumpkin puree last night. Fresh roasted pumpkin turned into puree is a thing of beauty! Luckily the one pumpkin produced about 5 ½ cups of puree, so that should last me a bit. I had a half cup of it as dessert last night with a ½ tsp of vanilla bean paste and a dash of pumpkin spice flavoring (SOO YUMMY!). I think at some point I’m going to make a baked oatmeal with some of it. I just can’t get over how different and better it tastes compared to canned pumpkin. If you like pumpkin, do yourself a favor and find a sugar pumpkin now and roast it and then blend it for pumpkin heaven. I still can’t believe I went 29 almost 30 years without roasting and eating a sugar pumpkin. Any ways, that’s my spiel about straight from the farm sugar pumpkins. Happy Monday!
Over all, I'm very happy with this round, I stayed in the 113 range which is a win for me.

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 ✔️
10/31 281.1 Walked 5 miles, tracked, 2 glasses of wine. 🎃 💜GEAUX😊TIGERS💜 Today we are tailgating for the game & serving our traditional Halloween chili. Lots of new kids moved into our small neighborhood during this pandemic. Planning to hand out something I personally don’t eat … fruit rollups!
11/01 218.6 Walked 4 miles, tracked (high net carbs blame it on the piece of chili, cornbread and pumpkin cookies … I stayed away from the candy), 3 glasses of wine. Fully expected to be up.
11/02 219.0 No exercise, tracked (nibbled on DH’s fries at lunch, cornbread and pumpkin cookies again), AF. Stressful long day. Drove to Austin to visit my son & his wife to help with remodeling their new home today. My mom’s husband had a stroke and cranial bleeding after a fall this morning… he is in the hospital. She called as we were 1/2 way to Austin so rearranging the rest of the week. Then I found out one of our dear neighbors died from a bad reaction to chemo treatment this weekend when I got back home from Austin.
Need to care for myself as I care for others. Time to regroup on my better habits.
DOWN .6 lbs this round. Disappointed in myself for letting the good habits and 217 slip away. I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

10/24 198.4 yesterday was difficult very sluggish Friday. Plus one of my niece's is some serious trouble. Never good to read it in the news...Anyways 8 and hours of workout this week 727 zone minutes almost 18000 steps today. Results showed earlier in the week but now show a minimum change.. Eating steak late tonight. Went to a restaurant and sat down and ran out the door. Eeeeewwwww! You really don't want to know what I saw!
10/25 199.7 Don’t know why but here it is
10/26 199.4 So tired of 199 1455 in calories 11189 steps Did not sleep last night.
10/27 197.2 There is something to get excited about but I am skeptical. 13434 steps 1735 calories
10/28 197.4 1663 calories 12948 steps. I am interested in tuna avocado salad.
10/29 196.9 13709 steps 1500 calories sleepy today. This rain is continual.
10/30 195.8 15701 steps 1579 calories Really good day dressed up as Thing 1! Starting to believe. With all the Reese’s in my office. I am struggling but I realize if I have one have it late in the day. If I have one early in the day I’ll be tempted to have another later. It’s working and my scale is agreeing with me. Snowing here in New England.
10/31 197.0 No heat or internet in my housein this lovely snowy cold night.
11/01 197.4 Too many calories not enough workout. Got my heat back yesterday

I lost 16lbs with you all April-October 2020 and I want to keep it off!
Maintenance goal: 135-140
Day/Weight/Comment
10/24 140.4
10/25 141.6 Need more water and could have swapped that 8pm Chipotle burrito for a snack instead.
10/26 141.4 Have a beautiful lunch salad packed today. I'm not sure what to add or not add to keep within maintenance range. I'm guessing it's mostly a protein & fat trade off for me. Time will tell.
10/27 140.8 Up early and feeling good today. Making a pretty lunch salad at home. I hope it turns out well. Some of them don't quite wow me.
10/28 140.6 My salads are yummy but was hard to feel full yesterday and was grazing. It could have been how early I was up too.
10/29 140.4 Had a heavy dinner but ate as early after work as possible.
10/30 139.8 Glad to see under 140 again.
10/31 141.2
11/01 140.6 My weekend has been super inconsistent. It's time to get back on the wagon today. I'm going to get some things done around the house, get some physical activity in today and meal plan a bit.
11/02 139.4 Nice end to the round.5 -

Well, I hit one goal out of 3. Aiming for 2-3 today. Happy Saturday!
10/25 - 183 - 1677 - 45 min walk
Delayed bump, methinks. Also salt. Have a lovely Sunday, all!
10/26 - 182.2 - 1627 - no walk, lots of indoor activity
Chilly morning but clear, so I’m off for a walk in a few minutes. DH made “ravioli lasagna” on Fri — good, but high cal/fat and one 8x8 pan lasts us 3 meals — last one tonight, then I’m going for less dense food for the rest of the week. I have been eating salads for lunch, though, so there’s that. 🙂 Aiming to get my weekly calorie average well below guesstimated TDEE of 1580, assuming sedentary life, and to increase my activity level. I’m thinking of buying a stationary bike — anyone have any recommendations for a decent not-too-pricey bike?
10/27 - 183.4 - 1906
I have to stop surfing news stories and eating my resultant emotions. I’m considering a moratorium on all things internet (other than my daily check in & tracking!) until about mid-November! Anyway, I ate and ate and ate last night. Popcorn. Cinnamon toast. Triscuits & cheese. All after left-over lasagna for dinner. Sigh. So I know some of this bump back up is salt and bulk. But still... I need someone to drop me at a cabin in the woods with rations for 3 meals a day for about 3 weeks to break this cycle. I’m up 53 lbs from my lowest weight 2 years ago, which was actually 10 lower than my original goal. On the plus side (so to speak), I weigh exactly what I weighed a year ago, and 30 lbs less than my heaviest. Part of me is ok with this weight since I’m healthy and active, but the rest of me is ticked off that I let it get away from me again. Ok, no hugs needed, I’m fine, just venting because I know you guys get it. It’s cold and rainy here today so I’m thinking of doing laps inside Menard’s. Have a lovely!

Better.
10/29 - 183 - 1690
Boing. Zigzag. Whatever. It’s chilly and rainy this morning but supposed to clear up this afternoon and warm up a little, so I’m planning to get out to some trails I haven’t visited in a while over the next couple of weeks. DH bought trick-or-treat candies and kindly bought the ones I don’t like. ❤️ We’re setting a bowl full on the porch for a no-contact Halloween. Kinda sad about that — I enjoy seeing the kids.
10/30 - 182.6 - 1905 😢
I gave in to my urge to snack last night — low-fat no-sugar-added granola + kefir, so not too junkie, but still. I’m off to the store to stock up on nice flavored teas to sub for food in the evening. Happy Friday!
10/31 - 183 - 1548
Brrrrr - hard freeze last night and cold this morning. Good day to work on indoor projects until it warms up a bit for an afternoon walk. Blessed Samhain & Happy Halloween! 👻🍎🧙♂️🍫🧛♀️🍬🌕🎃
11/01 - 182.2 - 1545
Ok, a little better. I allowed myself one mini Butterfinger and one mini Payday from the trick or treat bowl, but otherwise behaved myself. I can’t believe it’s November! 🍁🧶🍂 and it’s coming in with a blast. We have a wind advisory all day and it’s cold, so I’ll probably skip my walk, but I’ll do something inside to get the blood flowing. Have a good Sunday!
11/02 - 183 - 2231 🤯
What is wrong with me??? I ate and ate yesterday. Gaaaa. I keep thinking oh, next round, but I’ve been excusing myself and bouncing around these three pounds, 180-183, for 8 months after regaining 50 — 50!!! — freakin pounds. I worked so hard to lose the 90 pounds I lost in 2015-17 and I’ve thrown it away. I can blame COVID for some of it, but not all. I really am going to try to get a grip, starting right this minute. Please don’t hug me when I screw up — smack me upside the head!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/23 …..206.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/24 …..207.8 ….. No lunch. Cereal for dinner. Stupid, I know. Rushed Hurry Food. One whole pound on the scale. Today’s dietary choices not much better but much accomplished otherwise with my projects and dilemmas. Sunday is always very active for me so perhaps I can burn off some of my mistakes. Time to pay the fiddler.
10/25 …..208.2 ….. Hasty choices in a busy world right now. Angry! And I travel tomorrow so I feel like there is no hope in sight! #nevergiveup
10/26 …..208.2….. Balderdash!
10/27 …..210.4 ….. After travel weight. Freaking out here! I am going very low in carb & calorie today and will try to push the water too. I am NOT BUYING any Halloween candy to give away or fill office dishes with (to graze on). I will give away juice boxes for the few trick-or-treaters that I get in this rural area.
10/28 …..209.2 ….. Keeping diligent and trying to move more too. Focus, Focus, Focus!
10/29 …..207.9 ….. Low cal yesterday but carbs thru the roof. Plenty of horrible choices, not gonna lie! But the quantities were small. No breakfast, very healthy low cal/low carb lunch but horrible dinner and dessert. The scale went down because even with bad choices my calories were still pretty low. Striving to do better today but it’s not feeling like it’s going to be a good day.
10/30 …..208.4 ….. Woke up at 4:15 AM starving and I actually warmed leftovers and went back to sleep. Very strange. I couldn't control the tremendous hunger, but it was not a sugar drop episode. I think my dinner may have been too small or low in calorie. My weigh-in this morning was too close to late nite food fest.
10/31 …..208.4.….. Actually happy to see that after Chinese takeout from out of town my friend brought over.
11/01 …..207.4.….. I must admit I did have a little Halloween candy from my daughter’s house. And by “ a little “ I guess I do mean a little too much. I limited my late dinner to some sweet potato with butter and a half cup of cottage cheese to make up for it. The re-adjusting of my meal plan worked. Have a great Sunday everyone.
11/02 …..208.6….. I didn’t realize I was up this much from the start. I really had a false low on starting weight this round. It was a one-time number I had hoped would stick. Next round will be better because I hate posting in the color blue. Nice round to all of you who paid better attention than I did!
