Day/Weight/Comment
11/13- 163.0 I dont know why!
11/14- 162.8 I am trying to drink 8 glasses of water a day, one would think that would be easy.
11/15- 162.1 Continuing downward trend but I am coming up on my weekend which is hard to stay on track.
11/16- 161.8 I know its hardly into 161 but I was excited to see it. I think all the water is helping.
11/17- 160.8 Hummm, not sure whats going on here. I have been below my cal goals for several days.
11/18- 161.6 I knew it was too good to be true.

@HoopsGuy72
Thanks for the insight. I unfortunately was in a bad biking accident in October and broke my arm- I had surgery on 10/9 because of the severity. While I’m out of the cast (as of Monday!), I have minimal feeling - residual nerve damage- and very poor range of motion. I’m going to PT and working on it but I haven’t figured out a way to do strength training without a right arm (I’m right handed). I did start running but I’m a very new runner and struggle. I’m going 30 mins 3 times a week with the rest of my 7-8 hours being walking until I can build up more cardiovascular endurance. I’ve started adding squats and lunges in my daily routine but don’t have better ideas. I’m very open to suggestions though.4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/12 …..207.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/13 …..207.6….. I was horribly and uncontrollably hungry yesterday. My choices weren’t too bad but the quantities were disgusting.
11/14 …..210.0 ….. OMGosh! A friend brought Chinese Food over from out-of-town yesterday. I’m in shock. All low carb/low cal veggies for today and praying for no sugar drop as I compensate.
11/15 …..208.6 ….. Lost some of the bloat. Stuck to mainly healthy as planned yesterday. I will try to do the same today although I am already fighting the hunger from such low cal yesterday. I can do this…… Horrible cold rain today. Better than the usual snow I suppose. Gloomy.
11/16 …..207.2 ….. I continue to work that bloat back down. I have been getting in lots of movement to the point of being sore. I wouldn’t call it exercise. Just hard work. However, every burned calorie counts, right?
11/17 …..209.0 ….. Big time fluid retention. Very little water shedding (or TMI either). Quantities and meal sizes were good. Choices…meh. Today is the last day for restaurants in my state. I will probably have a carry-out meal tonight with my son. Otherwise, I will try to stay mindful.
11/18 …..209.0 ….. I did horrible yesterday due to time constraints. Thank Goodness this wasn’t worse!
11/19 …..208.4 ….. Finally shed a normal amount of water yesterday (#1) so, while this loss may not be fat, it is welcomed.
11/20 …..xxxxx …..

11/13 197.2 What did I say it happened last challenge. 197 196 195 Day 10 198.6 I should be happy about it but I am frustrated. I will keep my eye on the prize but 192 keeps getting further and further away. For three years before I the weight came on in earnest, I maintained between 188 and 192. I want it back!
11/14 196.8 15000 steps 1886 calories. Pizza at my job yesterday and I ate my salad.
11/15 196.6
11/16 196.2
11/17 195.8 under the weather today. No workout this far. Kids sick.
11/18 194.0 Drank a lot of water yesterday. Attempting to flush out this head cold. Definitely a head cold. Questionable about this number because my health is not at 100%.
11/19 194.6 12562 Steps 1832 calories good day. I am happy with the progress.

Please join us! Starting on 11/03 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 132

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.

11/15 117.0 Going to friend’s for drinks and dinner later.
11/16 117.5 OMG I ate a huge filet last night, sautéed spinach and garlic and a piece of cream cheese poundcake with berries and whipped cream. Everything was so good!
11/17 116.5 AF last night. Got my flu shot yesterday and my arm hurts and I have a headache. Not sure if h/a is from the shot.
11/18 116.0 This will go up, I wanted Mexican last night and have leftovers. Today is DH’s birthday and along with his leftovers, he’s going to lunch with our friend.
11/19 117.5 Up as predicted. It’s okay, still well under goal5 -

11/14: 219.6 (-1.0)/28.8 (-0.3). I am going to do some strength training today, even if it means using a crappy machine, body weight exercises, and some rubber bands. It's time. Being here is great, but exercise is the other main ingredient in my overall health and fitness. Time to step it up.
11/15: 219.2 (-0.4)/28.8 (0.0). I actually exercised yesterday. I did not do a ton of stuff, but I hit most body parts, and I put a decent effort in. I'm definitely feeling it this morning. Knowing myself and my body, I'm going to shoot for twice per week to start; depending on how long this feeling lasts, I might even wait until Friday or so to allow myself to recover (after such a long layoff).
11/16: 219.8 (+0.6)/28.9 (+0.1). I think this is more due to weighing in earlier during the work week than I do on the weekend. I'm not feeling super-sore today; I may try exercising again today.
11/17: 218.4 (-1.4)/28.6 (-0.3). This is a nice drop. I've been REALLY good with my diet. Last night I was pretty sore from working out recently, but I MIGHT try to exercise again tonight. No matter what, I'll get some exercise in either tonight or tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well (or at least okay).
11/18: 218.2 (-0.2)/28.5 (-0.1). I was exhausted yesterday, and I'm not completely sure why. Yes, there's still stress at work. COVID-19 still sucks. But I basically napped for 3-4 hours after dinner, stayed up for an hour or so, then went to bed (and slept through the night). Weird. I have a little headache this morning, and I have a LOT of work to do. Food was easy yesterday. On-plan all day, and I continue to cut down on "unnecessary" snacking.
11/19: 218.6 (+0.4)/28.6 (+0.1). I'm going to assume that this is normal fluctuation instead of getting angry at the scale today. It happens. Tonight is my 9th wedding anniversary, and I'll be keeping my celebration VERY keto-friendly (steak and veggies). I'm really glad tonight is #9, because my wife would be REALLY pissed if #10 got blown off in the middle of COVID-19...

@HoopsGuy72
Thanks for the insight. I unfortunately was in a bad biking accident in October and broke my arm- I had surgery on 10/9 because of the severity. While I’m out of the cast (as of Monday!), I have minimal feeling - residual nerve damage- and very poor range of motion. I’m going to PT and working on it but I haven’t figured out a way to do strength training without a right arm (I’m right handed). I did start running but I’m a very new runner and struggle. I’m going 30 mins 3 times a week with the rest of my 7-8 hours being walking until I can build up more cardiovascular endurance. I’ve started adding squats and lunges in my daily routine but don’t have better ideas. I’m very open to suggestions though.

Ugh! I hope I didn't come across as judgmental in my previous post to you (I promise it was not my intent)! I had no idea that you broke your arm so badly!
#1: I HATE running. I have a reconstructed knee (22 years ago) that causes me problems regularly. That being said, as long as you gradually adjust things, you can always increase what you're doing. If nothing else, you can jog until you get tired (but not overwhelmed), and then walk until you "recover." Don't have any goals attached to what you're doing, just do what you can. You'll likely notice that, over time, you'll be jogging/running more frequently and for greater duration than you were previously. Your progress might feel slow, but the more you do, the better you'll get at it.
#2: Regarding weightlifting, it's pretty clear that most upper-body stuff is not going to work great for you right now. The good news? Squats and lunges (particularly squats) are FANTASTIC exercises that burn a lot of calories and build up your legs and core. More muscle = more calories expended.
If I had any overall suggestion, it would be to keep up what you're doing, but to really focus on being kind/patient with yourself, particularly with what you've been through. Using the old "running" analogy, this health/fitness thing works out a lot better when we think of it as a marathon instead of a sprint.6 -

Round 131 (6): 144.4 to 139.6 (-4.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Lose 1.5 lbs
- Run/walk my evening walk with the dog to work up to a 5K by Thanksgiving
- Start a body weight strength training program 3x a week
11/13 - 140.2 - Slight increase from the end of last round, but not surprising given my recent drops. Feeling very tired today too, so I cut my morning workout down.
Turkey Trot 5K - I tried to run the 1.6 mile route last night, but the doggie didn’t want to come with me! She was more interested in sniffing and I had to cajole her the whole way. This might require a new plan. 😂
11/14 - 140.4 - One of the things I love about this group (on top of the awesome support and accountability) is having all these notes for reference. I had a super hungry day yesterday - ate all my planned calories, within my usual macros and was still so hungry. So I looked back at my notes from previous rounds - and the same thing happened almost exactly a month ago right before my TOM. That let me relax about it, and warned me that my weight probably was going to hold today and go up for the next few days. But it’s just hormones/water retention and it will be back down again soon.
Turkey Trot 5K - 1.5 mile walk last night. Will try to do a 1.5 mile walk with the dog tonight, then drop her off and run the route a second time.
11/15 - 140.8 - The scale is what it is this morning. Was high on calories yesterday (1,800 instead of 1,600) - just kept snacking - but I did get two good workouts in so I feel less guilty about it. Thought I’d take it easy today, but then DH proposed taking the kids on a hike - so I got in a 3 mile hike (which involved either pushing a 30 lb toddler in a stroller, controlling a 50+ lb dog who did NOT want to heel, or carrying said 30 lb toddler when he refused to go back in the stroller after he got the taste of freedom.) So much for a rest day!
Turkey Trot 5K - Did 2.57 miles last night - walked the first 1.57 with the dog, then ran another mile. Just wasn’t quite feeling up to doing the full 1.57 running, but I’ll get there.
11/16 - 141.4 - Ok, the scale can go back down any time now. 😣 Even knowing the “why” doesn’t make it easy to see that number in the morning. Not feeling great today so I only did about 45 minutes of cardio this morning. Will have to try and do the strength exercises throughout the day.
- Walked 1.57 miles yesterday.
11/17 - 140.6 - Ok, right direction! Let’s just keep that up. Focusing now on my daughter’s birthday on Friday - she’s been so excited about turning 5 and I want to do everything I can to make it special even without her friends coming over for a party.
11/18 - 140.2 - Back to where I started this round, at least. I’m still sticking to my calories and workouts, so I’m optimistic that the number will continue to go down from here. I may not make my goal this round, but I’m not giving up.
Turkey Trot 5K - Walked/jogged 2 miles last night.
11/19 - 139.4 - Yay, progress! Happy to be down from last round.

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.

11/17 125.2- 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.

We used to walk 5 miles a day. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle. Getting back to it slowly.

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.
11/20 62.55kg slightly down on last Friday. Any loss is good! With all my ups and downs in going to look at the average weight over each 10 days and see how that is doing.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/13 181.0 I was afraid the Prednisone might have negated the good I did yesterday. So far it hasn't. Ate well on plan yesterday. I'm finding the more of just natural "whole foods" are a part of my day, the better off I am.
11/14 180.0 The extra movement from training for the Turkey Trot is really helping move me in the right direction and also to change my mindset. Thank you to those of you who are participating with me. I needed some camaraderie in this. Food choices were on point yesterday. Now to hold that trend for the weekend.
11/15 180.4 This must be sore muscles from yesterday’s push to 5K because I ate well within range. Probably didn’t drink enough water after though, so that could play in too. I was really hoping it would be into the 170s, but maybe tomorrow. Need to meal plan today and get to the grocery store and also get in another walk. I can’t tell you how much better I’m feeling now that I am active every day again. I think I’m working through (and past) some of the 2020 depression that made me into a couch potato.
11/16 180.8 I really think this must be the Prednisone I’m on. Food and exercise has been great. Might try to really push the water today and see if that has any effect (or will it just make the Prednisone make me hold even more water?) Who knows? Only 2 more days on this steroid pack, so hopefully the effects will get on out of here soon.
11/17 179.4 Yay! Finally back in the right direction. I’m pretty proud that I didn’t give up when the trend was going the right direction. I knew it was just my body being weird, either on its own or with the Prednisone. I kept doing what I know works, and it finally did! Now, can I stay here and end the round in the 170s? Time will tell.
11/18 178.8 Feels good to be making progress again. I’m still on the Prednisone for one more day, so I’ll call this a win! Holiday cooking is beginning though. I really want to limit my intake and control the damage. Feels so good to be making positive progress again after the craziness of 2020. I do NOT want to go back to old habits!
11/19 179.2 That’s ok. I think this is a normal blip. They happen for me pretty regularly. Yesterday was a pretty good day. I ate a little extra ham and swiss cheese when pulling Skinnytaste Chicken Cordon Bleu together for dinner, but I did extra exercise last night in hopes of working off that extra few calories. Ended up still in a decent deficit.
11/20 178.8 Better. And that’s after eating dinner at hubby’s favorite restaurant last night. I have figured out a meal there that doesn’t mess with my weight loss plans. Even their salads are high in calorie, so salmon tacos with a plain baked potato seems to do the trick for me. I just have them hold the creamy chipotle sauce and it seems to be just fine.

11/13 Got in two walks at just normal pace. I had one knee which was really bothering me, so I didn't push the pace.
11/14 Did 1.74 mi in 30:28 but I had the dog with me. She slows me down. Then got on my exercise bike last night before bed for 7.56 miles in 32:24.Hoping to look for a 5K path at a park this morning. Will be pushing the stroller, but I can still measure. I know how I can do it in my neighborhood, but it would be fun to go elsewhere for the real deal.
11/15 Did my first 5K in a while yesterday. (Sorry the pic I posted last night was so HUGE. Won't be doing that again.)
Figured out a nice route by the lake and really pushed it. My time was 51:22 with an average pace of 16:33, so I’m really pretty pleased with that. I was alone, so I was able to really get into it and it felt fantastic!
11/16 Got in 3.2 miles yesterday but wasn't worried about pace. Had Hubby and the Pup with me for most of if. Another beautiful fall morning here in Tennessee.
11/17 Did a fast-ish (but with a stroller) walk yesterday of 2.75 miles. It’s amazing how heavy a baby in a stroller can feel going up hills!
11/18 Only did a 1.2 mile walk at work yesterday. Probably needed a mild day though, as my knee was a bit sore.
11/19 Did a 1.52 mile walk at work, this time in high heel boots. Do I get double credit for that? Forgot my comfy shoes to change into. No time after work for walking, but got on the exercise bike late for 36 minutes. Sure can work up a sweat on that thing! I think I’m going to ask for a rowing machine for Christmas. I used to LOVE to row at the gym.
11/20 Did a 1.21 mile walk yesterday but then never got in another one. Meant to—it just didn’t happen. Can’t believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away now!
Total toward 100 mile goal by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 14.72

11/20 - 151.5 - Not sure if its the 96oz of water I drank (not including my tea) or the fact that I could barely finish a full meal. Didn't fast long, 13.5hrs. I went downhill fast yesterday with congestion. I was miserable. BF made me breakfast and made me eat it so I could take my meds. Also made me a hot toddy which I have to say really did help for a bit. Today, so far, is better. I can at least breathe through both sides of my nose. For now. I have only been awake a half hour... Depending on how I feel when the sun comes up, I may or may not do the 5k as planned. Its just a walk, but if the allergies outside, exposed for that long, are possibly going to make it worse, I'm not doing it. No need to make myself suffer longer, I might as well wait until I'm fully recovered (or, if I decide to go out and have to come back in, I'll do my 5k in parts/sessions and finish it another day without feeling bad about myself). Today I plan to fast normal (16-17hrs) since I'm out of meds anyway - I'll have to go to the store for more if I feel I need them later. Thinking I'll go back to bed here shortly and let my body rest - BF had to wake up to go down to help FamHub's mom finish moving with FamHub. Hopefully just a day trip, though a long one hence leaving so early. Of course, I can't sleep through it. And my body may feel unwell enough to allow me additional sleep which usually isn't like me (once I'm up, I'm up)

Previous Day's Comments11/13 - Dropping down. TOM is settling out finally and I'm feeling less bloated and heavy from it. THANKFULLY. That was miserable. Today I will be cleaning the bedroom in preparation for the reorganization and set up of the new bed. Not sure when BF will return. Either tomorrow or Sunday but I'd rather have it ready than not at all. Today, if the rain allows, I'll set up my garden with the new trellis. I've gotten spinach this week, too. I've planted one, but I bought a second small plant and want to plant that today before the worst of the rain. Hoping it holds off long enough for me to get out there after I've finished my coffee. Nothing terribly exciting going on.
11/14 - I don't know. Heavy dinner? There was a slice of pizza involved. I don't know otherwise. Met my minimum water goal and if you count my evening tea, I met my 75oz goal. Fasting has been going well since that day I was insatiably hungry. Between 16 and 17hrs daily. BF is coming home today, he's already on the road at this time. Its about 8-8.5hr drive so he'll be here for dinner. The pup will be very happy, as will I.
11/15 - DNP
11/16 - Yesterday was not good. I only got about 2 or 3 hours of good sleep. Woke up shivering for about 2 hours straight before falling asleep for only another hour. I didn't feel cold, but my body wouldn't stop shivering. Not quite sure what that was. Didn't weigh and didn't have the energy to get off couch to get my laptop to post. I just wanted to curl up and watch my football uninterrupted. Ended up making salmon last night for dinner with Fam, though, since we provided the fish and scallops. BF hadn't had a home cooked meal in a week so I wasn't going to allow him to cook, either. Then the dog decided to wake me up an hour early this morning and I'm quite cranky. I'm still feeling lack of sleep from yesterday. Feeling bloated, especially in the lower belly. Up near ribcage seems normal, which is an odd type of bloat for me. Usually my entire abdomen feels fluffy/squishy. Probably due to not fasting long at all - BF made us breakfast since it was his first morning home. Today, I want to hit 16hrs if possible. Wish I didn't have work so I could nap, I need it.
11/17 - Up and down up and down. Think its because I got a little more water in? Also took my allergy meds and some mucus/congestion relief, not sure how much an impact that made. Need to take some again, I'm still not feeling great in my sinuses. Causing a dull chronic headache all day yesterday and seems to be looking like that again today. I can breathe through my nose fine and my throat is a little less sore (less postnasal drainage, I'm guessing) but still not 100% better. I feel so sleepy but can't tell if that's from the constant slight headache and my body wanting to sleep all this off or what. Didn't get shivers last night, thankfully, so slightly more restful sleep. Only fasted 15.25hrs yesterday as BF made breakfast again for me (usually he only makes for himself so I think its just a matter of him being home and able to cook again he's making mini-feasts in the morning for us. Dinner was chili and I added some rice for the filling factor- I was STUFFED! Water wasn't great, didn't quite meet goal but I also had a couple large mugs of tea I didn't track. Bought some more tea that I think will soothe my throat better and some other teas for that caffeine punch. Already have the sinus headache, no need to intensify it with slight caffeine withdrawals (usually not bad for me if I'm feeling well, but feeling unwell always makes it feel worse). Taking it easy today - think we are working on the VW bug to get it road-ready before the weekend when BF will be gone Friday and then we all unload Saturday. Hopefully I'll feel better then by taking a few down days.
11/18 - Up up and away. Not sure if its lack of water (I'm not tracking my tea, though it is mostly water) or a heavy dinner (wasn't hungry, just peckish enough to eat a bit, but it was heavy) or my congestion meds. Throat a little better today, still a little achy and sore. My nose..... congested. Can still breathe through it but not while breathing heavily. All good, though. A bit of congestion is more tolerable than an achy throat that makes it difficult to swallow. Taken allergy meds 2 days in a row and my congestion meds to seem to help for a short bit. Too bad I found out yesterday I can only have them when I eat. Took with my fast-breaking honey tea and ended up running to grab some food, though not hungry, to help settle it. So I'm waiting until I break my fast to take them again today. Ended up a zombie this morning so after my morning meeting, I accidentally crashed. I was so tired I couldn't even keep my eyes open and could barely speak coherently. Slept from 7-10 on accident when BF woke me up finally. Luckily, I'm at a standstill at work until I get my feedback and so I can't do anything but sit and wait for that email. I feel loads better having gotten that extra rest. Hoping to be back on track Friday for the Turkey Trot!
11/19 - A little drop. Woke up and my stomach felt tight and bloated, though. Dinner was homemade burgers and I had a salad on the side for more veggies. Only ate half the burger, maybe a tiny bit more than half and called it good. Didn't snack. Lunch was much larger and didn't even finish that, just ate so I could take my congestion meds. The congestion is worse, I couldn't breathe out my nose for a period last night and now I can only partially breathe out of my right nostril (left is good to go). Have a bit of a sinus headache to go with this morning. Sleep was much better, though still waking up frequently. At least this time, I was able to sleep until my alarm. Met my minimum water goal yesterday so happy about that. Focusing on that again today. I want to take my meds but I'm relying on Vicks on my nose and chest to help for the time being. So stuffed up, I can't even smell the vicks in the slightest which is concerning. Usually I only lose smell when my nose is so stuffed I can't breathe. I have taste, though, and no other symptoms so still not worried about COVID. Just a weird sinus cold.

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.
11/20 - 142.5

@UTMom81 Two tricks I consider when facing a restaurant are #1 find the menu online and pre-track what I am going to have and #2 Order from the appetizer section to make a meal if nothing else works - even if that means 2 appetizers. I often find that the hard to deal with calories are in the sides and not the main meal protein.4
-
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.

Round 131: -2.8
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.
11/20 – 137.4 Nice surprise, but I won’t get excited yet. Tonight is a portion controlled dinner of my MIL’s homemade gnocchi. Though the calories will be fine, I know from past experience from daily weighing that pasta dinners give me a temporary “up” on the scale even if the totally calories are on target.

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
11/19 – cold snap continues, I think tomorrow is supposed to be nice, indoor cycle today, 60 min

11/13 214.8 SWOOSH! Walked 4 miles morning + 1 mile evening, gardening, tracked food, AF. Finally below 215 on my own scale and not just mom’s!
11/14 DNW @ Arkansas funeral Walked 2 miles. No plans to exercise today since we have the graveside funeral and long 6 hr drive both Friday & Saturday. Tracked but all meals at restaurants and mostly fried, 3 glasses of wine.
11/15 216.7 No exercise, long drive from Arkansas, tracked, AF. Oh and after the funeral there was a table full of desserts and another filled with brisket & fried chicken for the family … did indulge in a partial slice of homemade chocolate pie.
11/16 214.4 Walked 3 miles, tracked food and really focused on net carbs and no fried food even with unexpected lunch out with our son & his wife after church, AF. Got back into my healthy habit routine! Scale is back where is was last Monday and Friday after a roller coaster week.
11/17 215.0 Walked 4 miles morning + 1 mile evening, tracked food focusing on low net carbs, AF.
11/18 215.0 🩺 Annual Physical today. Yesterday Walked 3 miles, 1359 cal, 91 net carbs (Tiff’s Treats Cookies daughter sent over for DH’s birthday), AF.
11/19 215.0 🥂 Wedding Anniversary today! Yesterday Walked 3 miles, 1206 cal, 69 net carbs, 1 glass wine. Tiff’s Treats Cookies again; fasting till noon for bloodwork, salad for lunch and homemade beef veggie soup for dinner saved me on calorie consumption.
11/20 216.1 Walked 4 miles, 2350 cal, 110 net carbs, 4 glasses wine. Point Reyes virtual wine & cheese tasting, anniversary dinner at Palazzos mussels, grilled salmon, angel hair aglio olio, and garlic bread. Ate half the salmon and pasta but too much bread! Not surprised in the bump on the scale.

ONE Goal - track food and calories faithfully. Stop pretending that handful of peanuts or small bag of chips or 6 tootsie rolls don't matter. I'm a snacker and I've realized that's not going to change. What can change is my prep for snacking. Will spend this weekend making healthy/lo-cal things to snack on to replace chips, cookies, peanuts, etc. I love fruit but sometimes I need the crunch and chew that fruit doesn't provide.
Count days track food and stay under calories::)

I didn’t think you were anything but encouraging! There’s no way you could have known I can’t physically lift. I did successfully do 6 mins on the arm cycle at PT yesterday and I’m officially allowed to use 1 pound weights for range of motion exercises. I know it sounds lame to average people but I’m excited I get to actually do something. I appreciate your encouragement!7 -

11/13 197.2 What did I say it happened last challenge. 197 196 195 Day 10 198.6 I should be happy about it but I am frustrated. I will keep my eye on the prize but 192 keeps getting further and further away. For three years before I the weight came on in earnest, I maintained between 188 and 192. I want it back!
11/14 196.8 15000 steps 1886 calories. Pizza at my job yesterday and I ate my salad.
11/15 196.6
11/16 196.2
11/17 195.8 under the weather today. No workout this far. Kids sick.
11/18 194.0 Drank a lot of water yesterday. Attempting to flush out this head cold. Definitely a head cold. Questionable about this number because my health is not at 100%.
11/19 194.6 12562 Steps 1832 calories good day. I am happy with the progress.
11/20 194.6 12747 steps 2391 calories but It could be worse. I had a sandwich but only ate half.
