11/10 - DNW - Was up drinking water all morning - couldn't sleep. Its really odd to sleep in this house with nobody else here. It feels too empty and quiet, even with my normal sleep sounds/white noise app (we have the same). I decided not to weigh due to that. Hopefully tonight will be better. My phone was at 1% despite being plugged in all night. Still struggling to get it to charge. Its a brand new charging cable (only a month old) so makes me think its my phone. I can't really afford a new one, but I might need to look into it. Going to do some google research first to see if there's something else. I know the outlets in this house are finicky but I've had success with this one since I moved in so not sure what's going on. Think I've found one here in the living room that's working as long as I keep an eye on it to get me through the day. The one time I care about having a working phone is when I'm home alone and it'd be the one time I struggle with it! Go figure, thanks Murphy and your dumb law hahaha

Previous Day's Comments

11/03 - Dinner wasn't great. I felt so bloated and heavy and just ick in general within minutes of eating. I didn't have a lot, but it felt like I gorged myself out of nowhere. 1 cup of stew is it. Not sure what that was about. Water was short, but not by too awful much. Better than it has been. Chilly out this morning so definitely thinking yoga if I manage a workout. 16hrs fastest yesterday. Might try for 17 today, depends on how my poor tummy feels.
11/04 - I don't feel overly bloated AND I dropped? My body is really all over the place lately. I'll take it, though, since that makes more sense to me. I didn't get to fast much as BF made breakfast (he was really excited and wanted me to try this new combination he thought of - it was AMAZING). Today I definitely want to fast a bit longer. Dinner ended earlier than it has been the last several days, back to where it was previously, so that helps with longer fasts in the morning. I was shy about 6oz of hitting water goal, but much much better than before. I'm already ahead of the curve this morning with water so today should go well. I have a salad and some fresh fruit for lunch so I'm set to break my fast with the good stuff. Not sure what dinner is yet. Hopefully it has a side of vegetables, though. Been trying to focus on healthier options. I bought some Meal Simple options from HEB. Had General Tso's with veggies on Monday (craving Chinese food while shopping) and yesterday I had teriyaki salmon with stir fry veggies. Last week I had a baked potato from it. It is a little more expensive, but I figured I'd try it. I was craving a baked potato and my fast was over while I was still shopping - boom, I happened to see a baked potato in that section!. Worked out really well and it was quite yummy. Plus, it inspired me to start thinking of lunches I can make for myself at home/prep for when I begin commuting (if that ever happens). Some require an oven (like my salmon - its uncooked), and some are cooked and ready to reheat in the microwave. Its definitely way better than a frozen meal when in a pinch! I think I really needed those to kickstart me back into focusing on healthier options during my eating window.
11/05 - Not really bloated, but have a bit of heaviness in my low belly. Nothing terrible, just noticeable. I managed my water goal yesterday of 64oz. 16hr 20min fasting. Dinner did not have veggies, but I feel my salad helped balance that, as well as the fruit I snacked on a bit for that sweet flavor. Not ideal, but better. Think I need to focus on getting veggies in during lunch. I typically don't know what dinner will be until its being made so to ensure I get some in, my lunch needs to include veg. If there's veg at dinner as well, that's even better! I have some steamables veggies for lunch but nothing else. May pair with a small sandwich. Then I'll focus on brainstorming ideas for when I go shopping next. I really loved steamables before, but it seems HEB hasn't had the selection I'm used to. Walmart may have to bridge that gap which will take more planning. My health is worth it!
11/06 - Likely from my fish and chips (its a guilty pleasure I've been wanting to try at this new place for awhile. Worth it!). Water was over 75oz but didn't measure how much over. Finally! Getting ready to head towards east Texas to go help FamHub's mom pack her house (closes Dec 1) and move her here (she's already living with him until the new apartments are finished building and she can move in them). Won't be weighing in tomorrow, but should be back Sunday. BF will leave Monday morning to go see his mom (4th time with breast cancer - going in for treatment and not looking good) and won't be back until next Sunday so I'll have more freedom to deep clean the house and get exercise in the living room (more space) without disturbing him at work. Also thinking of experimenting with longer fasts (maybe an alternate day to see how that feels? Guess I'll see how OMAD goes, first). Lots of sitting (5hrs approx) today and tomorrow but also lots of packing and moving so it should offset. BF still can't lift anything terribly heavy so FamHub and I will be the heavy lifters. His mom will likely focus on packing and also has bad shoulder so her and BF will take smaller stuff. Have a great weekend, everyone!
11/07 - DNP
11/08 - Expected with traveling/moving. Of course, when moving, things are packed and you have to eat out in some form or fashion - pizza Friday night for dinner, packing some stuff. Woke up to boudin kolaches before resuming loading. Had cold pizza for lunch then another long drive home (5.5hrs there, about 6hrs back with uhaul truck) before dinner out (cooking was out of the question, especially with kids involved - they needed to eat before bedtime). Unfortunately Gigi gravely underestimated how much stuff and the uhaul truck was not enough by any means and nothing available to load the rest so in 2 weekends time, we'll be doing it again. We would next weekend but BF is in Oklahoma visiting his parents so I think he managed to convince FamHub to wait another weekend. Minus the 2 refridgerators, washer, and dryer, this is the easy (but awkwardly shaped) light stuff. Today, because we got home so late yesterday, we have to unload into the storage unit. My poor arms are so tired. This is definitely a workout and I can tell I haven't lifted weights in awhile haha Doesn't help I'm a bit dehydrated. I tried drinking water, but its hard when traveling because I'll have to pee every 5 minutes. Definitely taking my water jug with me to unload.
11/09 - Back down a bit. Still low on water, but definitely have a chance to push more today. Luckily we had extra hands to help unload the truck into the storage unit. We had more of a Linner at 330 and then snacked a little around dinner. I hate salt and I was craving it so I had chips and salsa. Ended fast early so hopefully today my longer fast will go well (and easy!) Hoping minimum 18hrs. BF leaves this morning for a week in Oklahoma so that will only make it easier (no surprise breakfasts from him nor the smell/sound of him making his own breakfast to derail me). May try for some yoga once he's up and out of the house to help with these sore muscles. If work goes well, may also try for a walk with the pup. She's going to be so depressed her dad is leaving (gone 2 days/1night, back for 2 nights (gone during the day unloading), then gone again for a week) so maybe a walk will cheer her up a bit. May have a look to see what virtual 5ks are out there first and knock that out this week. Also have to reorganize bedroom a bit to get our new bed frame in there once he's back. Gives me a chance to vacuum the entire room instead of just where I can reach haha (oh the joys of having a dog who loves to shed). I think I have way more than enough to keep me busy while he's gone.

11/12

11/10 - Didn't get to walk yesterday - work got way too busy. Rain in the forecast today and work is full of meetings so not sure I'll manage to get one in. Time change messed up my morning walks as I have to wait until light and usually that's when the bulk of my work meetings start - today that also happens to be when the rain is supposed to start. I wouldn't mind the rain if I didn't have to worry about taking my work phone with me! Evening walks are tough because it starts getting dark right when I'm getting off work - ick. I had been doing consistent 1.5 mile walks prior - shouldn't be too difficult to double that - do my normal neighborhood walk twice.

Goals.
1. Ride 250 miles on my bike
2. Start strength training
3. Log daily food/water intake
4. Eat at deficit

Day/Weight/Comment
11/03: 189.8 / Working to buck a trend in the wrong direction due to the Halloween candy’s inability to outrun my sweet tooth.
11/04: 188.9 / Biked 48 miles. Ate decently—for a change. Logged all food/water.
11/05: 188 / Recovery day. Healthy meals. Getting back into a routine of smoothie—salad—healthy dinner. Ate a bit over deficit goal, but my ceiling is 500 below my BMR.
11/06: 188.8 / 27.5 miles added on the bike (75.5/250). Logged all my food and water. Ate below adjusted calorie goals, but a delicious patty melt I made for dinner is going to sit a bit heavy on me for a day or two…
11/07: 187.7 / 25 more miles on the bike (100.5 /250); making progress there. Logged everything with a deficit. Still haven’t been able to work in the gym with the limited hours it’s open.
11/08: 188.5 / No riding yesterday. Logged all my food and drink. Ate at a deficit, just not as deficit as I’d prefer, Need to get out of the house to limit some of the snacks I take in when bored. Holding on to a slight loss from the solid 190 I walked in with, but seem stuck around 188.
11/09: 189.6 / High winds kept me off the bike; I really need to find another activity. Logged all my food and water. Not happy calories, but still at a daily deficit. Weight jumping around seems to be more a product of what, not how much, I’m eating. Protein looks good, but the carbs and fat are out of whack.
11/10: 190.5 / It’s officially a trend in the wrong direction. I’m not sure this is the focus I was was looking for when I joined this thread, but despite logging all the food I’m eating, I’m not tracking to my macros the way I had been. I’m enjoying the extra energy the calories are providing, but not using that energy in a productive way to lose weight. Hurricane Eta has been throwing shade across the state for a few days, keeping me and my skinny tires off the road. Two days left to turn this around…

Just Give Me 10 Days is the first “challenge” that has helped me gain some freedom over the scale. Most days my weight doesn’t shape my mood- so far. And so I am deeply grateful for this and for you all.

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.

STARTING WEIGHT: 338lbs on January 1, 2014
ROUND 131 STARTING WEIGHT ON 11/3: 137.5lbs.
ROUND GOAL WEIGHT: 137.5-136.5lbs.
ULTIMATE GOAL WEIGHT: 122-125lbs.

Previous Rounds
Round 128: 138-139lbs. (+1)
Round 129: 139-134lbs. (-5)
Round 130: 134-137.5 (+3.5)

Day/Weight/Comment
11/3: 137.5lbs. (So it seems like I am not successful on this plan, but I don’t see it that way for the first time in my life. In the last 30 days I have lost .5lbs. That is good! That is just fine! The main thing is that I am not bingeing or restricting or purging or over exercising. All things I used to do. I have eaten right. I have run 3.5 miles a day, I have done my exercises every morning and night. I have not eaten added sugars. And I have not let the scale determine my mood except for one day! And the bonus is I weigh .5 less than I did last month! I was 338lbs. in November of 2013. I was 158lbs. on this day in November last year. I am headed in the right direction.)
11/4: 136lbs. (Here I am.)
11/5: 138.5lbs. (Last night I made a conscious and controlled choice to eat in excess of my calories for the day. No added sugars, high protein “good” whole food, but still over my caloric allotment for the day. It was not for a good reason. While I was hungry, yes but I always am- 1,200 a day doesn’t feel like a lot when I average 18,000 steps a day with 65 minutes of cardio daily. But I ate because I am so scared about the election. I knew that banana and the pint of blueberries wouldn’t change the results or make revealed any faster but I gave in and said “I need this.” So my goal today is to not restrict, which would be my pattern. Normally I would eat about 300 calories or less today. And best myself up. But my goal is not to do that today. Accept whatever gain I have this round and move forward.)
11:6: 137.5 (I didn’t restrict! Ate 1,175 calories and exercised and ran and didn’t let the scale get me down OR up!)
11/7: 135lbs. (Still here!)
11/8: 137.5lbs. (How can I not be thankful today, regardless of the number!)
11/9: 137lbs. (Always nervous following my high-protein day but still here!)
11/10: 137lbs. (Very emotional today. A year since my mom died after a pretty unexpected and quick decline. She was 73 so a good, long life but I do miss her even though I know she is with God and in perfect peace. And the election continues to worry me. I MUST be strong today and not binge. I MUST not skip running. Exercised this morning so that is good. But I MUST not let my emotional cause me to make bad decisions about my weight. I know I should have put “health” instead of “weight” there...but today, when I saw the scale at 137, like yesterday, I have to admit that I really could have used a little loss today. .5 would have helped even. But I am facing that fact and going to try my best today.)

Next overall goal is to get under 140. I would like to get that done before Thanksgiving and hold through Thanksgiving. For this round, I am going to focus on getting to 141.

Going to continue with daily tracking, staying under goal calories, and minimum of 20 min formal exercise/day (all from UAC challenge). I am also trying to do 90 minutes of planks, and 24 hours of formal exercise this November (24 hour and 60 minute plank challenges).

Previous goals: get under 150; get under 145 for my birthday; get to pre-COVID 142.4

Round 131 – starting weight 142.2

11/3 – 141.6 Nice start to the round. I am starting also to make note of my net calories to begin the process of learning what calories accomplish what. Yesterday was net of 1022. I have read a woman should not be regularly under 1200. I was hungry later in the evening yesterday, but rode it out. The previous day, leading into the challenge, my net was 1227 and no hunger issues.

11/4 – 141.0 Wow! Not expected. I guess my reward for not engaging in my normal stress eating patterns. The french’s onions, that I purchased way too soon, were calling me all evening. Did not open and am considering asking my husband to hid them from me until I am cooking for the 5 of us for Thanksgiving.

11/5 – 140.8 I really was expecting some take back. I’m sure its coming. But last night, I tried something new. I headed out after dark and walked/jogged for the equivalent of a 5K. Took just over 40 minutes, but I now know a route that would achieve this and I can measure improvement against it over time. Maybe someday I will enter a 5K.

11/6 – 140.8 Pleasantly surprised there was no take back.

11/7 – 140.4 (not my regular scale – weekend in Maine) no idea if the two scales weigh differently (same make/model, etc) and if I am actually down. At least glad to not see an up. Monday morning the 9th will give me a true indication. Have been consistently staying under my 1340 base and not eating back any exercise, and tracking everything.

11/8 – 140.0 (not my regular scale – weekend in Maine) Happy confused. I continue to lose more quickly than expected. Maybe this is my reward for halting my planned first 8 mile walk, only 2.5 miles in, to rescue the little guy below, who was hopping around the street in Maine looking for food. He is now safe and people are working on getting him back home, or to a new home.

11/9 – 140.0 Pleased to see that the two scales are close enough that I can’t tell the difference between their results. Overall, I am really shocked with how I am losing. My “dream” back in September was to get into the 130’s by December and I was concerned I was setting too high an expectable. At this point, it is looking rather attainable.

11/10 – 139.4 Totally confused. Grateful, but confused and wondering how and when I will get a take back. On another note, yesterday I had promised that I would get out and try that 5K route again. Well things kept happening and “after dark” became 9 PM. I still headed out, but hit the wrong button on my watch, so I had no milage feedback. I figured “what the heck, I know the route”. Nope, I did not. While out there I was doing significantly more jogging this time and was excited to see its impact. As I am reaching home, my time was almost identical, so I was disappointed. Well turns out that when I use the right buttons the apple watch maps my route. So I looked up my route from 11/5 and sure enough, last night I had done one of my walking routes that includes two cul-de-sacs, so my “same time” was for a route .3 miles longer. So I did improve, just harder to see. Today, lots of body aches so I will be going for less aggressive exercise for the day. I think I’m taking grandson out in his stoller.

11/10: 190.5 / It’s officially a trend in the wrong direction. I’m not sure this is the focus I was was looking for when I joined this thread, but despite logging all the food I’m eating, I’m not tracking to my macros the way I had been. I’m enjoying the extra energy the calories are providing, but not using that energy in a productive way to lose weight. Hurricane Eta has been throwing shade across the state for a few days, keeping me and my skinny tires off the road. Two days left to turn this around…

@Timlangan42,

Few things, for me I am using the group here for accountability with regard to my changes in weight and encouraging me to monitor it which is key for me. But as for the minutia of what is contributing to my losses, I am also in three other group. Yes, I am doing 4 challenges to help get me make healthy habits natural again. I am in the UAC challenge which requires staying under daily calorie goal, daily tracking, and 20 minutes of daily exercise. In my case, I am currently not eating back my exercise calories but will at some point add a portion in. For the challenge, you can miss 3 days out of the month. I did october successfully and november has potential for success as I am planning ahead for speed bumps. I also am in a 24 hours challenge where I need to accomplish 24 hours of exercise in a month, and then another smaller one on planking.

As for your other comments about your macros and scale response, I have certainly learned over the years that I could have comparable calories of pasta one night and steak the other with both days being "under" on my calories. Day after pasta is a guaranteed temporary up. But I have learned that and only learned that because of daily tracking and daily weighing of myself. This weekend, Hubby had one drink and a few munchie items, but was under on calories. He was up 2 lb the next day. Was gone the following. Think of this as an opportunity to learn about yourself. Glad you are in the group and glad you are talking about your frustrations. You will get through!

Day/Weight/Calories Previous Day/Walking/Comment

11/3 - 182.8 - 1521
Calories still higher than my goal, but lowest of the past two weeks, so a good start. No snacks last night, but I did have a modest serving of pumpkin crunch cake, hence the calories. But all good!

11/4 - 182.8 - 1524
Still didn’t get my calories to my goal, but below maintenance and so far I’ve avoided stress-eating my way through the election, so good. I went for a lovely walk at one of my favorite parks. We have a string of sunny 60s days in the forecast so I’ll be sticking to the walking routine.

11/5 - 182.8 - 1624
Oops. I had some popcorn with butter last night and chickpea linguini with clam sauce for dinner, a little salty — feel puffy this morning. But all good. I’m off for a walk, then some garden work and stowing outdoor furniture for the winter. Mike the cat and I had fun watching a chipmunk run back and forth by the sliding door this morning while I had my coffee. Building his winter stash!

11/6 - 182.8 - 1627
Ok, stuck is better than gaining, and I did have a fun-size PayDay stress bar 😁 yesterday. Gorgeous day here — I’m off for a walk.
@SModa61 and @CamandJarvis — I was just thinking yesterday about training again for a race, more for the training than the race. I ran several 5Ks and 10Ks and a half marathon in 2015-17, but have gotten out of shape/practice. Maybe we could egg each other on! I haven’t searched the virtual events yet — do you have any good links in the meantime? I’m not sure how it will go when winter weather hits, but a goal might motivate me. (Training for the half was grueling, but I did it. Time to get off my lazy COVID butt!)

11/7 - 183.4 - 1523
Whaaaaa? Ok, I have to assume water retention because my average calories are down. Weird. Anyway, I had a nice walk yesterday and am heading out again soon, aiming for more time & distance. Have a lovely Saturday!

11/8 - 183.4 - 1801
I walked a little farther yesterday than the day before, and am aiming for more today as I build back to my old 5-6 miles once or twice most days. I need to get some warmer clothes to keep this up as we settle into colder weather, but for now we t-shirt weather by afternoon. I did eat too much — DH, totally clueless about calories and skinny — made chicken pasta Alfredo for dinner, and I didn’t realize until after dinner how astonishingly high the calories are. Whew! If I’d known, I’d have gone lighter at lunch, but oh, well. Leftovers tonight, but salad for lunch should help, and half a normal serving for dinner. 😁 I think I’m retaining water from the sudden uptick in exercise plus no doubt higher sodium in all that cheese. Have a happy Sunday, all!

11/9 - 182.8 - 1838
I swear, I’m going to make a graph of calories and weight because sometimes they make no sense. OTOH, I’ll take the bounce back down and hope for more. I have a fun afternoon coming up — a friend has a 6-wk-old litter of Miniature American Shepherd puppies and I get to go do the first of two outsider evaluations of the puppies (I’m an Australian Shepherd dog show judge) and, you know, play with them! Nothing better than baby dogs! Off to walk first — I’m making Turkey Trotting a priority!

11/10 - 183 - 1782
I don’t know how I ever kept my calories below 1400. I can’t seem to get there. Sigh. I’m hoping as I increase my exercise, I’ll at least even things out and maybe shave off some calories. Anyway, the puppy visit was fun and I had a nice walk yesterday, heading out for a longer one soon.

11/10: 290.0 (-2 oz) MFP give me a daily calorie limit of 1,520 and I've been staying at or just below this amount. I've decided to cut 220 calories from that amount to 1,300 calories a day to see if this will help me lose weight better. Also, yesterday I started keeping track of my daily steps. I'm aiming for 3,300 to 4,000 steps a day and hopefully, build from there. Also, increasing my water intake and will see how this works out. 😊

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.

11/10 116.0 Feeling like a real slacker because I have not made one step toward the Turkey Trot. Feeling down as we learned yesterday that older daughter (RN in a hospital) is positive for COVID. One of her coworkers came to work in spite of not feeling well and DD is #12 on her wing to have it. A young person who wants to use their leave for fun not when actually sick!

Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 144.4
GW: 140
UGW: 125

GW for this round: 142.5

Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 127 (2): 153.2 to 150.4 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 128 (3): 150.4 to 148.0 (-2.4 lbs)
Round 129 (4): 148.0 to 146.0 (-2.0 lbs)
Round 130 (5): 146.0 to 144.4 (-1.6 lbs)

Goals for this round:
- Lose 2 lbs
- Meal prep breakfast for at least 6 days
- Add Just Dance 2020 to morning workout 4-5x a week to increase cardio on top of Ring Fit strength exercises

11/03 - 143.8 - Ok, I think I’m back to my normal trend after Halloween. I’m really, really anxious about the election today here in the US though, and it will be a struggle all day not to eat those feelings.

11/04 - 141.6 - Well, that was another “wait, what the...?” moment on the scale this morning. I’d be ecstatic if some of this loss stays around, but I think a chunk of it is due to not being able to eat much of anything yesterday afternoon/evening. Still, by breaking 143 I have now officially lost 20 lbs!

11/05 - 142.4 - Completely expected that bump back up; I was going to be happy with anything under 143. I ordered my “reward” workout outfit (for getting to 145) a week or so ago and it should be arriving in the next day or two. I can’t wait for it to get here - I just hope it fits!

11/06 - 141.6 - And back down again! Wow, I might make it to 140 before Thanksgiving (which would be awesome). Noticing more definition in my arms and legs, which is really encouraging.

11/07 - 141.8 - Beautiful sunny fall day - cool and crisp. Hope to go for a nice walk later today. I’d been trying for the past few days to watch the moment the election was called... and I missed it by minutes since I was exercising this morning. 😂. Oh well! Made it to the last world on Ring Fit - hopefully can beat the final boss before the end of this round.

11/08 - DNW - I went out and got doughnuts for the family this morning, so I skipped my workout and usual weigh-in time. I limited myself to half a doughnut and a few doughnut holes, and will get back to regular tracking for lunch and dinner.

11/09 - 141.6 - Just holding here for a little longer, I guess.

11/10 - 140.8 - Yay, yay, yay!!! 140, here I come! I actually expected a bump up this morning since we did take-out BBQ for dinner last night (and it was delicious!). I guess it’s a good thing the kids ate all the mac & cheese before I could have more than a few bites. 😂

Hope this works - I’d love to join in on this too!

Round 131: DAY EIGHT

Overall starting weight: 349.2
Round 131 starting weight: 333.2
Aim for Round 131: lose 1.3lbs (331.9)

Goals: weigh in every day and give a sentence update on how I'm doing
11/03: 333.2. Yesterday was a good day, although I panicked about my calories being 100 higher than most Mondays because I had a lasagne; I definitely catastrophise weight loss. Good to hold on to the loss so far.
11/04: 332.2. Down a pound, which is great, although it can easily bounce back up again tomorrow, but it's great to see the scales coming down. Makes me feel like I can do this.
11/05: 332.2 Holding on to the pound weight loss, which is great - that's 17lbs total so far. It's very slow given my age and MS, but the scales are coming down.
11/06: 332.2. Holding on to the pound loss, pleased about that! But goodness me it's hard going.
11/07: 332.2 I know this is crazy, but I get so frustrated when I have the same weight day after day, when I am trying so hard. Got to look at the bigger picture and remember that it's 17lbs down and I am feeling and looking better, and keep at it!!
11/08: 331.0 Woo hoo! That's another pound down, which is fabulous
11/09: 332.2

Day/Weight/Comment
11/02 …..208.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/03 …..207.6 ….. TMI helped. Just sayin’…… Good luck everyone on this round!

11/04 …..????? ….. I can’t believe I forgot to weigh in today before the half pot of coffee I have already drank! Will have to wait until tomorrow. Yesterday was an excellent day for meals and movement. The snacks were a bit much but, otherwise, all well-chosen meals. I hope to get in a lot more movement today. I had to cancel my far-away oncology and mammogram appointments due to insurance issues. Rescheduled for spring to avoid bad weather driving, 4 hours each way.

11/05 …..206.6 ….. I figured that it would be pretty good on the scale today. The last couple of days have been filled with lots of work & some lower calorie choices. Not perfect but I knew it would reflect well on the scale.

11/06 …..205.2 ….. More movement for sure and it’s helping. So much going on around here. I will explain when I have more time, but in the meantime, I am really trying to watch it and move as best I can!

11/07 …..205.2 ….. I am just happy to be the same today. I had a severe glucose drop last night. I managed to stay away from the panic and the feeding frenzy that usually accompany diabetic sugar drops, but I still stuffed things into my pie hole that I would not normally pick due to sheer need and fear. Thankfully the scale was okay today. I know what happened. I took my normal lunch and cut it in half to eat for dinner. Problem: my lunch was very very small to begin with so it was just not enough carbs or calories. I will be more careful today. Low cal volume with some reasonable carbs are on the menu!

11/08 …..206.0 ….. Stayed with small meals yesterday and some extra movement so I am a little stumped. However, no TMI and my meals may have been a bit too salty (??). We will see what tomorrow brings.

11/09 …..206.2 ….. McDonald’s which tasted like a salt shaker. I am just not used to it. It is the only fast food in my immediate town. I got tired of it years ago but yesterday was just too busy. Holding water I hope because I know I did not overeat.

11/10 …..207.0 ….. All my fault.

11/11 …..xxxxx …..

11/12 …..xxxxx …..
