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)= 21.117 -
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 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

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!5 -

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!5 -

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

11/13 - 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.

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!

11/22 - 150.6 - I give up trying to make sense of my weight. I mean, this is a pretty looking drop for end of round, but the way things are going, I'm sure it'll come right back up. Still have a bit of sniffles and stuffiness so hoping today won't put me back on recovery there with all the leaf blowing. No idea when I'll have the opportunity to do my 5k, I need to do some planning to figure it out. If I can't find time this coming weekend, I'll have to divide it into 2 - I can only be away from my computer during work about a half hour at a time at most for lunch. The time change put a damper on walking since I start work an hour or so before it starts to get light out and I'd have to miss dinner and be walking in the dark if I waited until after work. Bleh.
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.
11/20 - 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)
11/21 - I don't know. I really don't know. I had one bowl if soup for dinner and a hot toddy. I didn't have much to eat at all even at lunch (leftover chicken noodle soup). I didn't take meds. Just a lot lot of water/tea. Oh well. Feeling a tad bloated but it's slight so not worried. Body will bounce back. I don't LOOK like I've gained so there's something else going on internally and it won't last. I'm sure.
11/22 - Lots of walking and moving things as we unloaded the second uhaul. My arms are a bit sore. Today we will be leafblowing so that will be my "workout" for the day. Hoping it doesn't stir up allergies as I'm still a little sniffly.

SW: 181.4
GW: 134
Round 131 End Weight: 175.9
Round 132 Goals: Continue to Track & Make Healthy Food Choices, Minimize Alcohol, 30 Minutes Intentional Daily Movement, Lose 1.5 pounds
Day/Weight/Comment
11/13: 175.9 No change from yesterday but that was a big drop, so no worries there. On track with logging and staying at a deficit, AF currently on a 5 day streak (no plans to drink any time soon), and eating IF 16/8.
11/14: 175.7 A little drop from yesterday, so that's good! I was super tired yesterday when I woke up. My FitBit showed 41 times "awake" and 51 times "restless" during the previous night's sleep, so even though I know that FitBit sleep data isn't 100% accurate, I for sure had a bad night. Not enough sleep is a definite sabotage for me and while I wanted to give in and eat junk & drink wine, I did not and stayed the course, AF, IF 16/8, and all healthy food choices in a deficit. Other than that it was a dreary raining day, so I took a rest day but will be out running today.
11/15: 175.4 Had a nice long sleep in yesterday morning and then went for my run. Run felt pretty good but I'm a minute off where I would like my pace to be, but I'll keep plugging away and get there. NSV of the day, I made homemade pumpkin bread, logged the recipe and had a just a small slice that fit in my calories and was still at a deficit (I don't eat any exercise calories back unless I am distant running). Still AF and IF 16/8.
11/16: 174.6 Nice drop and puts me officially back in the "overweight" category, and out of the the much more upsetting category I've been hovering in since quarantine started. I will not go back to that! My AF streak continues and still IF 16/8 for eating.
11/17: 174.6 No Change from yesterday. Feeling a little bloated from yesterday, thinking too much sodium in my dinner. Lots of fluids today! Waiting for it to warm up a bit and then planning on getting a run in on my lunch hour. I need 6 more runs before our Turkey Trot next week. I've also got my local Turkey Trot that I normally do, which is also a virtual event this year. I'll miss lining up with everyone on Thanksgiving morning to run but I won't miss having to do it so early, it is usually about 19 degrees F when that race starts!
11/18: 174.5 Feels like it will be forever before I am out of the 170's at this rate, but progress is progress and I will get there eventually! Not a great run yesterday but still did it, will be back running again today. AF, IF 16/8.
11/19: 174.6 Yesterday got in another Turkey Trot training run, 1st cold run of the season, burr!
11/20: 174.6 Scale is not moving this week but I'm just .2lbs from round goal so hopefully will get there by Sunday! Yesterday was a rest day but have another run planned for today.
11/21: 174.2 Small drop puts me a goal weight for this round, but hoping for a larger drop tomorrow to end the round! Yesterday was a gorgeous day, sunny and almost 60 degrees when I went for my run. The run felt sluggish but I actually have shaved 43 seconds off my pace since Tuesday, still a long way to go to be back on form. Every little pound lost helps, I read years ago (not sure if it is true) that every pound you lose can shave 7 seconds off your running time. Still AF and IF 16/8.
11/22: 174.2 Hit my goal for this round, but just barely. Hopefully there is a whoosh coming soon! Had a good run yesterday, ran fartleks and bettered my pace by 1 min 18 seconds from Tuesday's run. It felt good to run with intention again instead of just going out and trying to survive and get through the run. See you in the next round!

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.

@quiltingjaine And many studies show it does. In any case, the sudden shift in calories should have nudged a little weight off, especially in the beginning, and it’s worked for me before. We’ll see next round.2 -

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

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::)

11/13: 220.6 (0.0)/29.1 (0.0).
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...
11/20: 220.2 (+1.6)/28.9 (+0.3). I simply ate too much last night, and I had a glass and a half of red wine. I'm just going to own it. I'm going light for lunch today, and I'll eat normally tonight (on-plan). My brother-in-law and his girlfriend are coming over tonight. I will do some drinking, but not more than 3-4 ounces of the hard stuff (mixed with something zero-calorie). I'm still hopeful that I can get below 219.0 for the challenge, even though I have a long weekend. Last night was an aberration; meal planning makes staying on-track relatively easy.
11/21: 219.0 (-1.2)/28.7 (-0.2).
11/22: 218.0 (-1.0)/28.5 (-0.2). Is today the last day of the round? Somehow I messed things up and thought tomorrow was the last day. Oh well. I'm happy that things are ending on a positive note, though. I snacked a bit too much last night, but apparently it did not have any deleterious effects.
R132 EW/EBF%: 218.0 (-2.6)/28.5 (-0.6), AW/ABF%: 219.2 (-1.6)/28.74 (-0.34)

Height: 5’ 3”

CW: 139.6
GW: 125
GW for this round: 138
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)
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.
11/20 - DNW - Today’s my daughter’s 5th birthday - stayed up late making a balloon garland, didn’t exercise since I had a cake to bake this morning and simply haven’t had time to step on the scale. Honestly, my weight doesn’t matter to me today - what matters is the joy on her face when she sees what we’ve done to make the day special for her and that she knows we love her. One of the reasons I want to lose weight and get in shape is to be the best mom I can for her and her little brother - but days like this remind me to keep the scale in perspective.
Turkey Trot 5K - Sorry, forgot this yesterday! Have been running/walking a 1.8 mile loop with the doggie at night.
11/21 - 139.4 - Considering the amount of sodium and carbs I had yesterday, I’m perfectly fine with this number. I’d have liked to get a little bit more under 140 before the holidays, but it will help keep me from relaxing TOO much. I had a nice NSV yesterday too: I saw the pictures my husband took of me during our family celebration - and I didn’t hate them!!! It’s been years since I’ve been able to look at a picture of myself without cringing and I avoid them whenever possible. It’s still a WIP, but I’m so happy with the difference already.
Turkey Trot 5K - Could only do a mile yesterday since my time was limited. Will try to do walk/jog first loop then run the second tonight.
11/22 - 138.8 - Not the loss I hoped to achieve this round, but it’s still a net loss. Will try and hold steady through Thanksgiving next week. Both kids were “playing” Ring Fit with me this morning - it was so adorable to see them trying to sidestep and run along with me. See you in the next round!
Turkey Trot 5K - Jog/walked the whole 3.1 miles last night. Now I have a total time to work downwards from.
Total Round Loss - 0.8 lbs

🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃
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:JGM10D ~|~ Round 132- 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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Round 132
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
11/13: 208 / So, I have lost 6.8 pounds since Tuesday morning. Goes to show how much of a puffer fish I am. 😊 Going up tomorrow most likely.
And, yesterday included a Culver’s Mini Concrete Mixer…Oreo Flavor.
NSV: I actually pulled a half gallon of ice cream out of the freezer last night…thought about the consequences…and put it back unopened. That’s big for me. HA!
11/14: 207.6 / Sat in a tree stand last night trying to be cupid for the deer. Freezer needs to be restocked. None were close enough, but they looked like they did not need cupid’s help. That time of year. P.S.: I don’t hunt for anything that I will not eat.
11/15: 209.6 /
11/16: 210.2 / I am happy with this for a Monday morning.
11/17: 210.6 / popcorn
11/18: 208.8 / My mom’s birthday today, so a little birthday cake may be on the menu. 😊
11/19: 209.2
11/20: DNW
11/21: 209 / no check-in yesterday due to (successful) deer hunting day. Had to get up so early and didn’t feel like checking. I had kind of a carbo/salt loaded supper on the 19th, so I am sure it would have spiked up yesterday morning. LOTS of exercise tromping through the brush and briars yesterday brought me to 209 this morning.
11/22: 210 / even though I ended higher than I started, this was a vey successful round by any other metric. My starting weight was very low. My average for the round was over two pounds less than the previous round. I needed this before the dreaded thanksgiving weekend. It is only dreaded because of calorie intake. Thanksgiving is actually my favorite family holiday, and “gratitude” has been my word for the year. I chose that word at the New Year, not knowing the challenges we would have ahead in 2020, so it has served me well. See you all next round.

🏃 11/21: 147.2
🏃 11/22: 147.8 Rats. I ate a bit too much at my sister's birthday dinner. That wasn't all though. Then, when we got home, Mark was hungry and overed sushi for delivery. I had a couple of pieces knowing what it would do. They were very yummy pieces though. I am OK with this round because at least I didn't gain! This will be my goal next week, too. Any loss will be a bonus.

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 …..208.4 ….. Moving today. It should be the final push out. Lots of work ahead today!
11/21 …..208.4 …..
11/22 …..208.1 ….. Wow! Internet people traveled 2 hours each way on Sunday just to get the problem resolved. I’m baaaaaack.

70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
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.
