I have just not been focused enough over the last month. Weight up and down and no net loss. This round will be better.

OSW 88KG
RSW 63.35 kg
Target this round to lose anything

11/13 62.75kg which is much better than the random gains at the end of last round. Now to manage the weekend.
11/14 61.95kg it looks like the loss has finally caught up with me! Mindful, mindful, mindful. Its only 2 days in the weekend and I used to lose most at weekends.
11/15 62.35kg no problem. I know where is came from!
11/16 63.75kg hoping a temporary salty blip. Better than last Monday which is okay.
11/17 63.1kg still better than last week. Gym done and aerobics later... Hope that doesn't cause crazy weight gain like last week.

11/18 62.25kg. Everything seems to be coming together. Aerobics was crazy last night but I did it and was back in the gym at 5am.

I’m a bit late to this challenge but there’s no time like the present to refocus and try (again) to get rid of my excess lbs. I’ve been in these challenges before and I know they work as a motivator. Slow and steady will be my mantra.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/13-123.4 When I first lost weight last year, these 10 day challenges were the source of my success. I am committing to weigh everyday and complete my food diary daily. Starting on the weekend will be challenging, compounded if restrictions start up again. Planning pickleball indoors today, too cold for outside. Bad start missing my body pump class this morning, will try to do this afternoon. Good Luck everyone, and stay healthy.
11/14- 125.4- Knew this would happen  Went out to lunch with my wonderful friends and pickleball buddies, had the most delicious salad: Wilted Kale with roasted butternut squash, cashews, lemon Tahini dressing. Totally awesome! Had to guess the calorie, and Ham sure was full of sodium. Usually takes me several days to equalize. Oh I forgot a Bloody Mary too! I knew too expect this, but still hate going backwards. Bad migraine this morning waiting for medicine to kick in then hope to do Body Pump and stretching and some kind of Trot.
11/15- 125.4 I know, I know, I know it will take 3-4 days to equalize my bloat from lunch Friday but I does play with your mind. Hubby wanted to grab takeout last night, but I decided against it because did not want to bloat even more. Thanks to the Turkey Trot Challenge I did do a over 4 mile walk- we lost our dog in September who inspired me to walk everyday, so miss her but felt great to be outside. Ate above my calories yesterday, wanted to grab a leftover halloween can and my husband and daughter had raided supply and left me with only 10000 mini bars yuck- still ate 6- So should be relieved I stayed the same.
11/16
11/17 125.2- Thrown off course Sunday and Monday- My father-in- passed away. Thanks goodness peacefully at home He did not have Covid but because of Covid we can not travel to the funeral.
11/18-124.8 This is one of those screwball weeks with an odd schedule and unusual events that challenge anyone and especially if you are on a diet. One of our downtown restaurants - one of many suffering across the US, was being highlighted by the press trying to save our DT- my daughter performs there so we were invited for the news pictures. They served us free(not calorie free!) delicious food! same place I went for the great salad friday. My daughter performed beautifully, I not so much. Did play 2 hours of pickleball and 30 minutes of Eccentric stretching. Looks like some of weekend bloat is leaving but won't leave to fast since I keep eating out.

Just read about the Turkey Trot Challenge and would like to participate too.

11/14- 4.3 mile walk...

Next overall goal is to get to 137.6, which is what I weighed 10/2/19. I think these smaller attainable goals are really helping.

Continuing with this plan for round 132: 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 (10/26); get to pre-COVID weight 142.4, get under 140 before thanksgiving.

Female
Height 5’ 4.5”
Age 59

UHW - 9/13/01 168.8
Recent low weight - 5/24/17 - 126
CSW - 9/14/20 153.0
UGW 129.0

Round 132 – starting weight 139.4

11/13 – 138.8 Another down. This is all good but not certain why I am losing more consistently than in early October. Exercise averages out the same and I am using the same goal calories to stay under. The only ideas I am having is that could I somehow be changing my base metabolism? I’m not sure how that works. Anyhow, I’ll take it while I can and I keep bracing myself for a plateau or a take back from my losses.

11/14 – 139.2 Given I had no ups the whole last round, I am almost relieved to see this. All good!

11/15 – 139.0 Got in another walk yesterday. Started by walking the route I mentioned last round, the night that I walked and jogged, so I now know its mileage correctly and have updated my other file where I keep all my exercise for the month. I then continued on for two more loops within my neighborhood (see below). Pace was not great, but I managed to multitask and caught up with my parents on the phone. I’ll just consider it more of a distance day. Next experiment is to figure out the difference in milage if I walk the inner sidewalk vs the outer sidewalk in the "loop". Yesterday was inner and the milage was less than I recalled from when I measured a couple years ago, so curious if the "old" number is the outer sidewalk.

11/16 – 138.6 Last night, I pushed for a walk/jog of the 5K. I liked that I improved, but this morning I have left hip and right knee pain, so I am not doing something right. I only plan to attempt the walk/jog once a week anyhow, so we’ll see how it calms down.

11/17 – 138.8 Scale this round is much more typical. Tracking and keeping under my calories continues to be good. Yesterday, just did basic walk to loosen up the stiff joints after the previous night’s “wog”.

11/18 – 138.4 Past two days, I have spent a bunch of time planning and tracking. DD is asking that I quarantine as many days as possible prior to Thanksgiving (I am the comparative risk to them as they quarantine just about 24/7). Then 2 days after Thanksgiving DH and I have to travel to a seasonal home to oversee the repairs that have been doing on in our absence. When we get back, we will be quarantining again. Anyhow, I have pre-tracked and purchased the groceries for every dinner from now through the day before Thanksgiving (thanksgiving and day after will not be tracked – but will still make best effort – and then I have to be flexible on the travel day), and then I also have pre-tracked the 4 days after we return. The few fresh produce items I will need this next week can be done via pickup or delivery, and my 4 day post travel days will receive a produce delivery and then more extensive groceries as well. COVID tests are being planned for days 1 and then test again on day 4 or 5. I will then be needing to start quarantining for X-mas again, right away. Trying hard to maintain focus on general health, accomplish what needs to be accomplished in the real world, and keep healthy and safe for the sake of myself, my children and grandson, my parents, and MIL.

Holidays are coming up soon and even though I'll be alone, the temptation of the seasons treats🥧 🍬 🍪 and foods 🦃 🍠will be hard to pass over. 😞
Just hoping not to over indulge to much over the next few weeks, but stay as close to my daily calorie limit as much as possible. It is the most Yuuummy time of the year. 😂 💖

This daily check in has helped me in so many ways. It really shows that slow and steady, progress over time is possible.
