🦃 NOVEMBER 🦃
🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

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

2020 Focus:

Stabilise weight under 150
Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy

Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:

2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
That's a WIN in my book!
2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
(One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Thanks @UTMom81 , not covid related thank goodness. Just going to take it easy for a few days. Covid cases have been going through the roof here too. Are you in UT? I am in NM so we are kitty-corner neighbors.

Hit onderland, but don't trust it. 😁. Which is a typical refrain, the drop was just too sudden. I know it will come for real in the next week or so.

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
Average last round 63.34kg
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.
11/21 62.45kg...late snacking but still in calories. The average weight calculations were eye opening... I really haven't been losing. Inspired me.

11/22 62.45kg which is down for the 10 days. Not my lowest but I'm working on it

Loss for the round 0.9kg {2 lbs}
Average 62.62kg down 0.72kg {1.6lbs}

Ikeeptrying2 · November 2020

As anticipated sodium intake was higher yesterday due to my meal plan and today's number reflects an increase.

SW: 144 (maintenance is 135-145)
CW: 144
GW: 135

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.

No, I'm in Tennessee--a UT grad from '81 and when I made this name up years ago, my daughter was also in school there. Glad you don't have it. Several folks I work with now have it in their immediate families, so they are quarantined for 24 days. What a mess this whole thing is! Hope you feel better soon.

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.
11/21 180.2 Well, this is disappointing. I did it to myself though, so gotta do better today. I hate these little ups and downs. I know all too well they are part of the process, but they still tick me off. I really should be ticked off at myself though, for giving into a craving late last night. Double whammy because of the calories and the time of day. Maybe I can work it off today and end up in the 170s for the round as I had hoped.
11/22 178.8 Alrighty then! Yay! Worked off the slip from Friday and managed the sweet treats that hubby brought into the house after a hunting trip.

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!
11/21 3.07 walked at the park (really didn’t realize how close to 3.1 I was or I’d have looped around the parking lot or something. But I was not working on speed as I had the baby with me. Weather forecast is looking rainy for Wednesday through next Sunday, so if I can break away, I may try to do a 5K today (alone) and then if I get a break in the weather, do one closer to Thanksgiving as well.
11/22 5K done in 48:09 which is 3+ minutes faster than the one I did on 11/14. But I think I’ll work on adding distance instead of trying to ramp up the pace now. Let the pace changes come naturally as I build muscle. Maybe for December’s event, I go for walking 10K and don’t worry about pace as much.

Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 21.11

SModa61 · November 2020

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 127: -2.0
Round 128: -1.4
Round 129: -1.4
Round 130: -2.2
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.

11/21 – 136.8 Totally unexpected….. I guess good news is yesterday’s weight was not fake, but I am assuming tomorrow has to be an up. Other note, see below, I finally now my 3.1 mile starting and ending points!

11/22 – 137.2 Makes more sense than yesterday’s, but still a better number than I expected to end this round. Another weight goal accomplished!! On to round 133...

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
11/20 – beautiful day, one more round of trying to mark a 5k measurement, so I know what I am aiming for if “entering” such a race - 0:45:49 walk to measure 3k ~ 3.11 miles, 0:07:57 slow walk for .45 miles. I now have an exact route!!

11/21 – another lovely day, got in a walk and talk (ie on the cell phone) for 4 miles in 0:58:50

Day/Weight/Comment

11/13: 155.8lbs
11/14: 156.0lbs I really want to lose 2lb this round as it would get me out of the obese category. I was surprised not to have lost today, but it was just a small gain.
11/15: 155.6lbd that's better
11/16: 155.8lbs under calories and lots of exercise. I need to work hard to get that 2lb off by the end of the round
11/17: 156.0lbs
11/18: 155.8lbs
Really struggling this week to lose but I'm doing everything I should be
11/19: 155.8lbs
11/20: DNW Ate breakfast then remembered I didn't weigh myself. It wouldn't have been good anyway.
11/21: 155.8lbs Well, I'm back to where I was at the beginning of this round. I'm not going to make that 2lb loss that I wanted to. I'm still going to be in the obese category 🙁 I've not once gone over my calories. I think my body is fighting me!
11/22: 155.8lbs I'm glad this round is at an end!

🔹Drink more water (target min 80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
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.
11/21 215.7 Walked 3 miles morning + 3 miles evening, 1112 cal, 17 net carbs, AF.
11/22 214.6 Walked 4 miles, tracked, very high net carbs from pizza & Torchy's Tini, 4 drinks.

10 days of ups & downs and it looks like I finally captured the lower 214. On to the next round!

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.
11/21 194.6 14410 steps 2148 calories same 3 days success in my eyes
11/22 193.6 finally a success at the end of the round. 5lbs

Day/Weight/Calories Previous Day/Walking/Comment

11/13 - 182.8 - 1107
Yesterday was a good day all around — low calories, no snacks, and a nice 3.5 mile walk along the river and hit my first Turkey Trot goal. I’m aiming for 4 miles today. I’m feeling energized! 🏃🏽‍♀️

11/14 - 182.8 - 1118
Yesterday was fine overall. I didn’t do my long walk but did several shorties, though I’m not counting them toward my Turkey Trot goals. Planning at least 4 miles today on my favorite stretch of the Rivergreenway. When I was there Thursday, among other treats I saw an old sycamore FULL of birds (couldn’t see what they were with the sun in my eyes) and a gorgeous big abandoned hornets’ nest suspended from a branch and visible now that the leaves have fallen. I’m taking my camera today!
Enjoy your Saturday. Be safe!

11/15 - 182.6 — 1157
More short walks yesterday, probably a couple of miles worth. I won’t be out today — rain and very high winds. I have plenty to do inside, so all good. Have a lovely Sunday, all!

11/16 - 182.2 — 1216
No walk yesterday — we had temps in the low 30s and high winds all day with 60 mph gusts. Today is chilly but without the wind, so I’m aiming for at least 3 miles.

11/17 - 182 - 1295
I went for a lovely 4.25-mile walk yesterday on a new-to-me trail. The full trail is 4.5 miles, so one of my goals is to walk it all the way out and back. Probably not until spring, though. I ate a little more than I have been eating the past few days, but still well below maintenance, and no snacking! Yay! It’s really chilly today, but I’m going to try to get at least a short walk in this afternoon. I’m feeling much more in control, finally!

11/18 - 182.4 - 1127
Salty day yesterday, so I’m sure this is water. I’ve kept my calories very low this round. Yay! I skipped the long walk yesterday because my knee was hurting, but I’m aiming for at least 8K/5 miles today, lots of water, and low sodium. It’ll all come out in the wash!

11/19 - 182 - 1244
Boy, the 182s don’t want to let go! Tomorrow! Yesterday was a good day. Calories on target, and I took a nice walk, although not as long as planned as my knee was bothering me and I didn’t want to push it. It feels better today and it’s warmer today and tomorrow, so I’m hoping for a couple of nice, long walks. We do have a wind advisory today, but not as bad as last Sunday I’m going to put up the Christmas lights while it’s warm. We always teased my dad for waiting until it turned cold to hang the lights — don’t want to be him! 🎄 Have a lovely!

11/20 - 182 - 2234
I had a gluttonous weird-food day yesterday — granola & kefir for breakfast, pizza for lunch, apple + peanut butter for supper, popcorn, ice cream. 🤯 But my calories have been so low this round that my average is still low, and I have today planned. It was super windy out, so I just went for a short walk that I didn’t count for Turkey Trot mileage, but I did other little things — hung lights, so up and down the ladder a few times, vacuumed and cleaned the interior of my car, weeded some parts of my garden. How many calories do reading & knitting burn? 🧶 📚🧣 I probably won’t make my walking goal for the round, but at least I’m generally moving again, and have mostly cut my calories significantly. One little step at a time.

11/21 - 181.8 - 1136
Good day yesterday, and today’s menu is planned. I went for a nice 3.5 mile walk along the river yesterday. It’s much cooler today and rainy, so we’ll see. I’m obviously not going to hit my 20 mile goal for this round, but that’s fine — I tend to be overly ambitious. Have a good Saturday!

11/22 - 183 - 1936; ave calories for round - 1358
How can this be? I had 2 higher calorie days, but was well below maintenance the rest of the round, and my average for the round was 1358. MFP gives my maintenance calories as 1660, and SailRabbit gives my TDEE as 1589. And I’ve gotten more exercise this round. How could I possibly bounce back up??? Very discouraging, I must say. Well, on to R133.

Goals — 5K/3.1 mi - <55 min by 11/15; 10k/6.2 mi - <2 hrs by 11/30; total >20 miles R132, 100 by 12/31

Maintaining a healthy weight is hard.

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
11/21 - 143
11/22 - 143 - I'm happy to end the round at this weight. I hope to see you all next round!
