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.

11/23179.8Thanks@GrandmaJackie! I need this to not go crazy during the holiday season, so we appreciate you for keeping this going! My goal for this round is to maintain control and not gain overall. I’m sure there’ll be some ups this week, but I MUST remember that it takes a lot longer to get them off than it does to put them on!
11/24 179.6 Good food day, but I've been locked out of the Community now for two days. My home laptop where I keep all my records for MFP was messing up and wouldn't let me in. Now, I restarted the computer and I'm locked out of it all together. (I'm typing all this on Wednesday since I can't get in that computer). I had a different entry written for 11/24 but don't remember what it said and I wasn't able to post it. Oh well. I do remember the weight!
11/25 179.8 The holiday baking has begun in earnest this morning. My 87-year old Mom was admitted to the hospital in NC yesterday. Covid test isn't back yet, but she's in the respiratory wing and my Dad cannot visit her there. He won't let me come home, so I'm baking things she always does and will put together a care package for them when I get it all done (the things that will travel at least.) The good thing is I'll be sending most of it away, so I won't be able to eat as much of it. Gotta get out for a good, long walk today. It will do me good in more ways than one.
11/26 180.2 Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends on here! Really, I think yesterday was the worst of the holiday nibbles day for me--the day I make all the goodies. Heading out here soon to do my 5K, so hopefully that will offset some of the Thanksgiving dinner. Today is about being thankful, and even in a year like this one, I have so much to be thankful for!
11/27. 181.4 It was such a beautiful day, we ate outside on the screened porch and enjoyed our special time with our little nuclear family. Now it's time to chip away at the Thanksgiving gain. it's fine. This is a marathon this time. Not sure I'll ever trust myself to go on maintenance again, so gotta treat this like it's a forever thing.

11/23 Rest day. Only did a one-mile walk with the baby to loosen up. Other than that lots of steps while shopping.
11/24 1-mile walk. Meant to do another later, but it just never happened.
11/25 1.77 mile walk
11/26 1.18 because I'm doing my 5K today and had a knee that was tweaking a little bit. Decided not to push it so I'd be ok to do longer and faster today. I've got to start getting in more miles on a regular basis though or I'm never going to make my end of the year goal. Actually, it may already be too late for that. If so, I'll just see how close I can get.
11/27 Did my 5K yesterday as already noted. Then did another .9 as a cool down and, later, a walk around the block after dinner with hubby for a total of 4.7 walked.
Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 29.1310 -
Anyone interested in being a part of this? Just create some fitness goals you wish to achieve by the end of this "unprecedented" year, and work toward completing them. We can "train" together by simply tracking our progress toward goal in our posts here and welcome 2021 by being more healthy than we are right now.
List owners/leaders, is it ok if we do this here again, or would you prefer me to take it off list? It's been fun to do the Turkey Trot here in a familiar place with folks we "know," but I would understand if you think it's a distraction. I'll size down the icon like before to about an inch if it's ok to keep it here.

50 days ago, I was 2.5lbs heavier than I am now. 49 days ago I was 6.5lbs heavier! The body is a funny thing! I gained 4.5lbs. over night? Running and working out yesterday, just like every day? Weighing each blueberry and apple and grape tomato. (Not each grapes because they are WAAAY too many calories!) No, I know that is not a "true weight." I am obsessive and I admit I have disordered eating issues. BUT I am getting better for now.
This round MIGHT be my last...because it has helped me so much. However, I want to try to move away from weighing-in every day. These rounds have helped me not to be so dependent on the scale to define myself. I am going to TRY to get weighed every 5 days, so I would have to say good bye to Just Give Me 10 Days.
But I may very well be back! I hope to reach my ultimate weight goal of 122-125lbs. by the end of October of 2021. Slow and steady. And I hope to stay there and not get sick again, like last time...moving my goal to 120, then 118, then 115, then lower and lower until I was eating 800 calories a day and exercising for three hours a day, losing my hair, etc.
It has been a long, hard road, but I am grateful and still the luckiest girl in the world, as I realize that my problems are the problems of the privileged.
STARTING WEIGHT: 338lbs on January 1, 2014
ROUND 133 STARTING WEIGHT ON 11/23: 139lbs.
ROUND GOAL WEIGHT: 139-138.5lbs.
ULTIMATE GOAL WEIGHT: 122-125lbs.
Previous Rounds
Round 128: 138-139lbs. (+1)
Round 129: 139-134lbs. (-5)

Round 131: 137.5-134 (-3.5)
Round 132: 134-136.5 (+2.5)
11/23: 139lbs. (I know what this weight gain is. I know it is hormonal or water or whatever! Because it happens EVERY MONTH! And I have been running consistently and counting every grape tomato and weighing every banana! And it takes an excess of 3,500 calories to gain a pound. There is no way I could have legit gained 7lbs. in two days with my energy expenditure and my caloric intake! And I am okay! By Friday or Saturday I will be at 136 or 135! And even if I am not, as long as I am still counting calories and exercising and not bingeing I am okay!)
11/24: 138lbs. (Still on plan!)
11/25: 137.5lbs. (Slow and steady!)
11/26: 136lbs. (Here!)
11/27: 135.lbs. (Stuck to plan! 1152 calories, ran, worked out, didn't binge or restrict and I figure that was good considering many see yesterday as a day of eating. Today is mom's birthday, and I have a wedding rehearsal tonight -small group who will adhere to social distancing today and also for the wedding, but weddings always make the nervous. So we will see if I can keep on track today. Worked out this morning and plan to run before work.)

Goal for round 133 will be little different from the proceeding because it has some more challenging days in it; Thanksgiving, day after leftovers, 2 travel days. We are traveling but not “for” Thanksgiving. We need to check on a costly property repair and trying to squeeze the travel between two holiday quarantines. In the process, I have pre-tracked until Thanksgiving (current quarantine), and then pre-tracked and purchased all non-perishables for 4 days to start return quarantine, during which I’ll arrange for grocery delivery and post travel COVID testing on day 4 or 5. Then I’ll have two days to shop outside the house before quarantining again so I can see my grandson a little for his first Xmas. That’s the plan but we know is 2020, anything can change. So anyhow….. goal is to complete round 133 with no gain (ie staying at 137.2, or below).
On another note, I am entering an official virtual 5K, the Feaster Five. So I have to walk/run, document and then submit my time sometime this week. I am currently eyeing Tuesday evening.
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, get to 137.6 (weight on 10/2/19).

Round 133 – starting weight 137.2
11/23 – 137.2 Seems like the number is real (ie 3 out of 4 days in a row). Today is an indoor exercise day since, out my window, it looks like Noah should be building another ark. At least the cats are not demanding their walk.
11/24 – 136.8 Knee and elbows are acting up. I am wondering if my zealous approach towards the 5K and planking is faster than those joints can handle. Plan is/was to walk/jog the Feaster Five virtual 5K this evening. We’ll see how the knees are feeling. I do have other days to accomplish this, but am really hoping that it works out today.
11/25 – 137.8 Ouch, big up. I assume it is a temporary false gain since I have been 137.4 for past 5 days. I would try and blame the macros of last night’s dinner, but I made that same dinner last week for the first time and had a loss the day after. The only other anomaly yesterday was that I completed the Feaster Five Virtual 5K that I entered over the weekend. That was more running than I have done in years. As I mentioned in my 5K blurb last night, I had not run that much since being on the boys track team in 1977 when there was no girls team. I am wondering if that exertion is causing some fluid retention. Either way, it will work out. On another note, working on travel scale correlation in prep for next week and I know it can be wonky. (Home: 137.8 Travel 137.8 – shocking it matched THIS time).
11/26 – 137.0 Thanksgiving – Because I am delivering a separate whole T-day meal to my parents, the majority of my cooking (for both our and their meals) was yesterday. Did my best to account for all those “spoon licks”. What got tracked implies I ate low, but my lack of hunger makes me think I somehow neglected to track things. I just don’t know what. Today, my approach is to eat thoughtfully. Tracking of today’s food is close to impossible with any accuracy, but will see how it goes. I guess I could track portions of “generic” value and accept that that is better than not tracking at all. Other option is to go the “single” dinner plate method ie no weighing, no measuring, but only one plate like one would receive in a restaurant. (Home: 137.0 Travel: 136.2 – maybe I won’t try to pack it…..)
11/27 – 137.4 Wow! What a gift. Something more to be thankful for. The route I went with for yesterday is I pre-tracked quantities, 5 chips, dip, 1 oz salami, 4 oz turkey, ½ cup of each side except ¼ cup of the cranberry sauce. One slice pie, 2 TB whipped cream and my standard coffee. I evaluated and selected what I thought were best matches from the database. The amount was actually perfect! I was going to be under 2000 for the day, with that plan. Then, my son surprised us with cocktails and given there were so few of us to support his effort, I chose to have one – 280 more calories added to the tracker. Had stayed under 1340 calories a day (not net, but consumed) since 10/1/20, and was over by 800+ yesterday. The +.4 was totally worth finally sharing a celebratory day with DH, DS, DD, SIL, DGS. Wish it could have been the regular crowd, and wish my parents felt safe enough to join up. Here’s to t-day 2021. Today’s plan, cautious eating of leftovers, try to fit in a real walk, pack for poorly timed essential travel tomorrow, clean up from t-day and clean house in preparation of son moving in to take care of cats while we are away. Lots to do. Gave up on the travel scale. There are only 3 days I will not have access to a scale, so I am just going to focus on and trust my tracking.

11/25 – lazy day - 35 minutes indoor cycle to loosen up my muscles.

@musicsax Loved your comment about "when will running be fun?". Not sure I will ever like it either BUT i will say that it felt empowering to see myself do something I have never done before and see how I was doing longer stretches of running and shorter stints of walking. Maybe when its all running and I cannot see those changes it will feel less inspiring again. Time will tell.
@UTMom81 I'm game for your next challenge, here or elsewhere. I just need to figure out what that goal will be. I want to be logical as December will have 2 weeks travel, plus the holidays and of course weather starts impacting options. Depending, my goal my just be to do another 5k, but with better time. BTW what tracker did you use? It's display looks very much like the end display for the Feaster Five I entered. I loved how it updated me during the 5k and told me when I finished. Continually looking at my apple watch for updates (my usually method) is no where near as good an option.7 -

11/23 215.3 Walked 3 miles, 1279 cal, 35 net carbs, AF. Wow! Brunch with the kids to celebrate DH’s birthday … poached eggs on crab cakes with hot sauce hollandaise and skillet hash browns.
11/24 214.1 Walked 5 miles, 1684 cal, 55 net carbs, AF. I know what to do to lose weight I just need to execute and repeat! One slice of pizza with salad instead of 3 slices and no salad. Did splurge on a little yummy homemade mac&cheese with steak and roasted broccoli.
11/25 213.8 Walked 3 miles, tracked, 2 wine, 2 drinks.
11/26 213.6 Walked 3 miles morning + 2 miles evening, cal, net carbs, 2 wine. Fries but no bun with the burger Turkey thawed, side dishes created and in fridge!
11/27 215.6 Walked 3 miles, 2553 cal, 140 net carbs, 3 wine. Skipped lunch after logging my food for dinner in advance! Lovely Thanksgiving meal.7 -

11/23 DNW today but I did do a 20 minute spin bike workout during my lunch break. Not much to report for today. I plan on doing another 20 minute spin bike workout tomorrow during my lunch break.
11/24 Feeling puffy today, I had a salty lunch and dinner last night. I think I’ll try and drink a few glasses of herbal tea to help increase the fluids so I don’t feel as uncomfortable. I’ll be making pork tenderloin with roasted carrots and maybe leeks for dinner tonight. We have some apple cider, so I’m going to put that with some chicken broth in the pan with the carrots and pork to create a yummy sauce and add some extra flavor to it all.
I also want to try and jump on the spin bike today, even if it’s just for 15 minutes! I normally don’t use it two days in a row, but my goal is to get up to 5x a week with it. That 5x a week goal will also be easier starting in January when my husband is leaving each morning for his clinical fieldwork. I’m a morning workout person, so having to be quiet in the mornings the past couple of months has made it a challenge trying to fit exercise into the afternoons for me.
11/25 I plan on weighing tomorrow morning to see where I’m at. I’ve exercised both Monday and Tuesday which is a win for me because lately I’ve just been doing something on Monday but not Tuesday. So I was really happy with that. Today I plan on using the bike again. Yesterday was a 27ish minute ride and I think today I’ll aim for another 20 minutes. For tomorrow my goal is to do a longer ride for the turkey trot. I plan to do a 45 to 60 minute ride as a challenge.
Dinner might be a pureed soup using up roasted veggies from last night’s pork tenderloin dinner. I ended up roasting white potatoes, carrots, fennel, hakurei turnips and leeks with the tenderloin sitting on top of it all. I also added a cup of apple cider and ¾ cup chicken broth. I thought it came out yummy and the veggies got nice and soft, making them perfect for a blender soup! That should be a nice light dinner before a day of eating lots of food for Thanksgiving. If I don’t get around to posting tomorrow, have a happy thanksgiving everyone!
11/27 My 45 minute turkey trot ride was a success 😊. Food was not a success but it’s only one day. We got to see my in laws safely, so that was nice. We have lots of left overs to munch our way through over the next few days along with CSA veggies to work on eating. Hoping this week hasn’t done too much damage, I already have plans to be more active moving forward related to at home workouts. I just signed up for the playbook app to have access to more spin bike rides and other at home workouts. So, I’m really excited about that! I definitely workout more when I have someone telling me what to do. I’ll be curious to see what I weigh today, I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised but it’s been a week of salty food and just being a little more lax with food.
Edited to add: Weighed in today at 117.2. I know it's a lot of water weight because I can feel it in my face and neck. The number is still annoying though. I'm looking forward to getting back on track and eating more veggies and less high sodium food.

11/23 194.0 Not surprised had beef ribs last night. I was mindful about everything else I ate for the day. So It shouldn’t be I huge increase. I’ll take this. I am going to be very mindful all week.
11/24 193.5 14041 1964 calories. I am trying to be mindful. Eat lots of fruit and veggies. 2 eggs, 1 sausage link and an avocado for breakfast.
11/25 193.3 11759 steps 1874 calories. I had chicken salad last night with my babies. Light breakfast today. Having apple pie tonight is a tradition with my foster sister.
11/26 194.7 There is apple pie. Yesterday 11956 steps 2365 calories no hugs required.
11/27 195.8 I woke up this morning saying please don’t let it go over 196. I kept my portions small. Waited 10 minutes before I went back for more and small portions. Sweet potato pie. 9788 steps and1768 calories. Not bad. Plus I worked out last night for 15 minutes.

11/23 = 93
11/24 = 92.9
I've been reorganizing the hallway storage today and had to pull out bags of my old clothes that gradually multiplied over the years as the weight crept up on me. It's a bit shocking to think of how long I've been repeating the pattern of just buying bigger clothes rather than changing my eating habits.
11/25 = 92.6
The kitchen is my favourite room in the house, I love steaming mugs of coffee on frosty mornings and mixing bowls full of birthday cake batter, I adore catching up with old friends around the kitchen table as we lose track of time. I worked hard to create that bright, cosy, atmosphere in a dark old house and now I think it's time I took my own image on as a project.
11/26 = 92.1
I tried to stay out of the kitchen today, when I'm in there I'm compelled to either cook or eat, so today, unsettled, I drifted around the house searching for a place I could grow my next obsession: getting fit and healthy, and on a different level explore expressing myself through how I dress (an entirely new undertaking for me!)
It's a small house but I think I can free up some space in the hallway -a spot from which I can see my beloved kitchen
11/27 = 91.7
Found it hard to think about anything personal at all today, I spent all my free time worrying about the pets and the garden.
It was hot.
A voice from the wings: How how was it?
It was so hot.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/23: 125.2- Well last round seems to have been a nonstarter and I am sure Thanksgiving and having both my kids home will make this round challenging, Good Luck to you all!
11/24: 126- So frustrating! honestly thought scale would be going other way . Went to body pump and played over 2 hours of Pickleball- challenging and competitive games too. Was kind of hoping to have some deficit banked for a decadent Thursday.
11/25: 124.8 Yeah!- finally right direction. Yesterday did spin class in basement since had BSF in morning. Bummed my tennis shoe broke right before starting to play pickleball at the racquet club - these are the very good players, I was lucky I had my training shoes but after 4 games notice the difference n shoes- twisted my ankle ( the Eccentrics Stretching must be really working, ankle only sore for 15 minutes) but did not want to take any chances with knee. I finally must be maturing- I quit playing before I really hurt myself
11/26: 123.8 - Good way to start the day! Probably mostly due to body functions- but great for ego on a dy when I know I will overeat and drink. Small family gathering as all our extended family is out of state. Both kids home, no guests this year. Slept in- also may be why weight dropped so much measured over 3 hours later in morning. H"ope to be up only slightly tomorrow.
11/27: 125- Whew!! Good news, since I really love pumpkin pie, so this is a relief. Bad news- we still have pumpkin pie leftover. Now I will really need to control myself. Hope all your Thanksgivings were wonderful and Blessed.

Okay, back on track today after a little food tantrum yesterday over not losing in R132 despite fewer calories & more exercise. 😁 Hitting the good protein, veggies, fats now through Wed., enjoying TG, then back on track. It’s cold today and there’s still snow on the ground from yesterday, but I’ll get out this afternoon for a couple of miles. I’m thinking of making a pot of minestrone. Mmmmmmm. Comfort soup!
11/24 - 183 - 1311 - 5.5 miles
Aww, come on. Very discouraging. My average calories have been below maintenance for two weeks, macros P20, F40, C40 (mostly veggies, legumes, & whole grains), exercise increased, and I’m not snacking like I was. I even reset my scale in case it was stuck in some sort of loop. I don’t believe in very restrictive, unsustainable diets but I’m thinking of going back to the elimination diet I was prescribed for inflammation a couple years ago. It melted 20 pounds off in no time (but I gained it back plus more in the next 18 months). No walk today — sleet and wind — but I’ll try to do something. Maybe clean the house? Nah!
11/25 - 182.8 - 1591
I had a long think last night about my “struggle” and I’ve decided to take a different approach. Rather than worrying about timed weight-loss goals and calories cutting, I’m going to aim to keep my calorie average about 100 below my estimated maintenance level based on SailRabbit TDEE, MFP’s maintenance number, and my own experience (which I plan to chart in detail today or tomorrow). I’m aiming for more protein, esp. fish, few to no refined carbs, and healthy fats, and only occasional, planned snacking — say, pumpkin pie tomorrow night! I’m also aiming for more movement, including walks and starting to jog, but realistically I’m not likely to do a lot of that in the northern Indiana winter and I’m going nowhere near the gym, so I’ll do what I can. I really might have to do more housework! But as I said yesterday, nah! Ok, tmi as usual. American friends, be safe this holiday.
11/26 - 182.8 - 1441
Happy Thanksgiving!
11/27 - 183.4 - 1916
No surprise there. Leftovers today, and I’m just going to enjoy them, though I’m subbing steamed broccoli for stuffing and having a small piece of pumpkin pie instead of the “healthy” (meaning “not so much”!) piece of pecan pie I had yesterday. My 3.5 mile walk didn’t burn that baby up! I have half the round left to balance things with non-holiday fare. I’m going to try for a walk today, but it’s cold and damp out and I’ve become a serious weather weenie after living on the southern coast of NC for 10 years! We’ll see. I hope those of you who celebrate TG had a lovely day yesterday. Be safe, everyone.

Anyone interested in being a part of this? Just create some fitness goals you wish to achieve by the end of this "unprecedented" year, and work toward completing them. We can "train" together by simply tracking our progress toward goal in our posts here and welcome 2021 by being more healthy than we are right now.
@UTMom81 I’m in again. I’ll try to stop whining about the weather, although it’s going to get colder next week. 😁 I still need to hit my Turkey Trot 10k goal in the next 4 days. Eeek! I better get moving! Anyway, thanks for making another great poster!
@musicsax When I ran (by which I mean walk/jog intervals) quite a bit a few years ago, it never became fun for me, but it did become gratifying and, once my fitness increased, I felt great after each run and overall. I ran (intervals still) several 5k’s, a 10k, and — to my astonishment — a half marathon.

We will find out today! I have to make the topping for it when we get ready to eat and that, I think is the hard part. Also weird - I've always made no-bake cheesecake (my dad's favorite, always made for his birthday which was Tuesday) so making a baked cheesecake was a new adventure. I'm excited to try just a sliver of it and see how I did.
