SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110 but also happy with where I’m at right now.
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-> 113.8 ->114.6
Goal weight for this round: Maintaining around 113 or dropping to 112 would be nice.
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.

Previous days 11/18 – 114 Today was a wash for food because I woke up at 3 am and could not fall back to sleep. So by 7 I was starving and ate What I planned on having at 10:30 or 11ish. I then proceeded to have a good amount of chocolate and made myself a cup of tea. I don’t normally have caffeine but I really needed it because I was sleepy and stressed. The 2 bright sides are that I used the spin bike for 45 minutes and had an apple after my chicken finger and frozen fries. I’m just dreading trying to sleep tonight because even a little bit of caffeine messes with my sleep. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to fight through the sleepiness tomorrow and just go to bed early tomorrow night and reset my sleep schedule. My sleep has been really weird the past week and I have been waking up at like 3 or 4 in the morning wide awake. I don’t know what’s going on with my body but I know it’s weird. Anyways, have a good night!

I'm also trying to figure out some self care techniques because as I really get into my role at work I need to learn how to not "take home" the patients problems. I need to just shut off at night. I was talking with the social worker I work with and she had helpful advice...So my goal this round is to figure out what I want as a self-care routine to be.

11/13 - 71.4
11/14 - 71.4
11/15 - 71.6
11/16 - 71.8 - Back after dropping off the radar. I had a very busy week last week and counting calories just didn't factor high on things I seems to have time for. Was quite a physical week in general however, so although I am sure I probably overate, I don't think it was too bad CICO wise. Weight came down nicely. Back on logging today.
11/17 - 72.2
11/18 - 71.7

11/19 - 71.6 - I'm convinced I checked in on here yesterday, but I must've not pressed send! Good day yesterday. Went out in the morning for a quick walk and then went out later to walk the dog. Made my activity target easily even though I lounged on the sofa all evening.

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.

11/19 62.55kg. Not worried as I ate a lot late! Gym done and a core fitness class planned for later.

My exercise overall is isolated to walking as I recover from a minor back injury. Frustrating, but a short term setback. Hopefully back in full swing in a few weeks.

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.

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.

11/19 – 138.2 Yesterday, I again used the stationary bike for some cardio. What I did different is did 3 smaller rides throughout the day. That is much easier to fit in. I still prefer the outdoor walks, but days like today (19 degree ATM) make it much less interesting. Tomorrow’s temps should be better.

11/13 - indoor cycling
11/14 - going to get out there today. will update later Update: 1:10:30 walk at 15’12” pace for 4.63 miles, avg hr 123 BPM, pace was a little slow because I was talking on the phone the whole walk instead of pacing my walk with music.
11/15 – tried to go for speed, which I plan to do once every 5 – 7 days. Did 3.15 miles in 38:01 mins, then a 1.2 mile cooldown walk in 18:41 min
11/16 – just basic walk day to keep moving – 3.65 miles in 58:12 min
11/17 – no turkey trot efforts, just indoor cycling, 31 min, and some ab work, 19 min
11/18 – High temp was 30 degrees so stuck with indoor cycle again, 50 min

Day/Weight/Comment

11/13 - 143 - I'm really going to try to behave this weekend so I can make this stick longer than a couple days.
11/14 - 142.5
11/15 - 142.5
11/16 - 142.5
11/17 - 144.5 - Two words can explain this...pecan pie. My husband brought one home Friday night and I had a couple pieces over the weekend. It's not unusual for my weekend food to show up on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll have to watch my calories the next couple days and drink plenty of water.
11/18 - 143.5 - That's better. I just need to stay on track this week.
11/19 - 143 - Staying on track even though a co-worker brought in a dark chocolate layer cake the other day. I had a paper thin sliver and luckily, since it was so good, the rest of my co-workers ate it up before I could talk myself into going back for more.

Second round for me on this thread. Lost two pounds the first pass and hope to continue the trend. 10 days is perfect because at the end of the round, my eldest returns from California for a Thanksgiving visit and I’d like to show some significant progress going into the holiday. Working toward a Tough turkey trot challenge with my sister and sister-in-law for later in the month, so going to switch up riding to walking/jogging.

SW (01/01/2020)/UGW: 233 / 165
SW/GW Round 132: 188 / 185

Goals.
1. 3 x Walk (maybe jog a little) 5k
2. 3 x Strength training
3. Log daily food/water intake
4. Eat at 500 Calorie deficit (<1575 kcals)

Day/Weight/Comment for previous day
11/13 187.3 / A nice start right out the gate for little to no effort on my part. Logged food and water, but ate above my target since I was home all day working on a project.
11/14 186.5 / No rain! Finally able to take the bike out of the garage for a nice ride and mow the lawn. Food was a bit all over the place as riding pushed my appetite upward, but surprisingly, I was under 2,500 calories for the day (1,500 below my adjusted target).
11/15 185.3 / Another ride and I walked the 5k (52:06). Logged food/drink and was at deficit. Tighter on the food; though I did enjoy a bit of ice cream with cashews in the evening. Did a bit of strength training with dumbbells (not much, but it’s a start). I’m happy with the loss, but I’m still a hair above my lowest recorded weight (185.1 on 10/11) since I started this in January. Need to stay focused so I can push past it and make some progress toward a ‘healthy’ weight of 181 by Thanksgiving. Not sure I can keep this pace up, but it’ll be fun trying!
11/16 187.5 / Rode 22 miles on the bike and did a little more arm and shoulder training. Logged all food and water and, though I ate back some of the exercise calories, I was at considerable deficit for the day. Being so close to 185, only to pull back, has fueled my determination. As my fat% dropped, I'm guessing I'm holding onto a bit of water weight from the rotisserie chicken and potato salad I ate last night. No worries, I'll just have to lose it tomorrow...
11/17 189.7 / Didn’t get a chance to ride today and it apparently shows. Geez scale. Logged my food and water. Although yesterday ran a bit high, it was all good protein and veggies (Mediterranean dinner at home). Not the direction I was hoping for, but my Fat% dropped even further, so I guess I’m just in for a bumpy ride for a few days. On a positive note, I’m clearly fueled up for a long ride on the bicycle and, between the cooler weather and Kalamati olives, I shouldn’t have any issues with dehydrating. @biketheworld, Florida offers me a much longer season than I saw in New York and I like to take advantage of it. Biking around the world sounds like a lot of fun (once rode beefed up bikes down Mt. Haleakala in Hawaii; it’s a thing), though my riding of late has been largely utilitarian and repetitious. It certainly sounds like a good goal!
11/18 189 / Still stuck on projects in the house and didn’t get out to ride, but it looks like the weight is receding a bit. Still unsettlingly being above my starting weight for this round, but I’ve still got a few days to catch up and make some progress.
11/19 188 / Didn’t get out again yesterday and I’m starting to feel lazy, though I did get a bit accomplished around the house in preparation for my daughter’s visit. Logged my food and water intake for the day and was below my target deficit despite an evening whiskey with my cigar. Weight back to my starting place makes me feel like I just passed the scale equivalent of a funhouse mirror this week.
