132. 212.6. It was a bad round. Scale broke so I replaced it and my new weight was 2 full pounds higher. I’m guessing this was still a loss even though I can’t prove it.

11/23 - Forgot
11/24 - 158 - I'm sad I've gained 5 since last month, but this is around the weight I've been for most of this year, give or take, so I'm not fretting it too much. I plan of starting my home workouts again tonight.
11/25 - 158 - I did not start my workouts yesterday due to my class schedule, but today is a new day!
11/26 - I forgot again, but I did my workout yesterday (but not tonight).
11/27 - Forgot again... I only remember when I turn on my computer before breakfast, apparently.
11/28 - 155.6 - Probably not a lot of work on my part... I presumed the 158 was retention of water. (I had Friday night snacks, too, so it was really unexpected.)
11/29 - 153.2 - Back to my "set point" I think. I snacked on celery and nuts last night, instead of higher carbs like usual. Still need to incorporate some cardio and more weights.

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.
11/28 - 183.4 - 1926
Yep, leftovers. But I started this morning with a high-protein breakfast and have the rest of the day planned for “regular” calories, lots of water, and a walk, even if short. All good. Happy Saturday!
11/29 - 183 - 1771
Still ate too much yesterday — fell off my plan — and I’m feeling overstuffed this morning. Ugh. But I walked about 3.5 miles and plan to get out today. We have snow & ice probably headed our way tonight, which may stifle my walking a bit. It’s sunny if cold now — birds and chipmunks very busy this morning. Mike the cat is runn8ng from window to window, so at least someone is exercising!

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.

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!)

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.)

Day/Weight/Comment11/23 = 93Halfway point
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.
11/28 = 92.1
Today was almost too hot to care about weight loss but with the cool change in the evening I was watering the garden, in that slightly meditative state which watering brings me and my thoughts drifted to the year ahead: 2021 (still sounds like sci-fi!)
I realised I'm confident that next year I can keep going, keep counting kj, and day-by-day keep getting closer to the healthy lifestyle I want (though to be honest I don't know what that looks like yet)
Maybe it should have been obvious that all I needed was a realistic plan and to put in effort every day towards it but for the longest time this strategy simply escaped me.
11/29 = 91.5
It constantly astounds me when I put on clothes that were tight last month, I may not be swimming in them yet but I'm dipping my toe in the water and trying to catch the eye of the most vigilant looking lifeguard

11/29 - DNW - Drank a ton of water before I got to the scale so decided not to skew numbers by weighing at all. Almost feel hungover but don't think I had near enough for a hangover? I know my headache is based on my neck - I definitely slept funny on my neck and it hurts - headache seems centered on neck pain. Fasted 18hrs yesterday. Ate one of my quesadillas I had frozen extras of - ground turkey, chopped spinach, chopped bell pepper, cheese to break my fast and had a small bowl of gumbo for dinner. Water was good, but I think I need to up it more. Been feeling oddly dehydrated despite hitting water goals. Need to get on top of that. Think it'll be a lazy football day today. I hope so, at least.

Previous Day's Comments11/23 - Bump as I expected the way my body has been acting lately. Had seafood last night as an annual birthday dinner for Gramps (the dinner is his gift so we made it socially distanced). Didn't eat much but was quite full after. Then had a small slice of homemade gluen/dairy free German Chocolate Cake to finish off the night because I can't turn down coconut! Not sure, but guessing, that is what's caused the bump up. That, and I'm sore from 2 hours of leaf blowing with a handheld blower. The boys had their backpacks (BF finally got to use his birthday gift I got him!) Woke up this morning and for some reason, I thought it was Tuesday or Wednesday. Weekend wasn't the most restful so I can understand my groggy confusion haha Made it 1 minute shy of 16hrs fasting yesterday, did leaf blowing in my fasted state which actually dulled my hunger for quite a bit. Today, if BF doesn't make me breakfast, I'll aim for another 16hrs. I may need to start pushing my fasts a little longer to see more benefit of it. And FamWife and I discussed trying to incorporate healthier foods in our meals. Hopefully between the two of us, we can!
11/24 - No movement is better than a gain! TOM arrived. Again. Had a visit 2 weeks ago and wasn't supposed to have another visit for 1.5 more weeks. Pretty sure it was my medication - did you know some cold meds and antibiotics can actually cause birth control to lose effectiveness? I'm on the pill due to hormone imbalances - it would make sense if my cold meds caused it to not properly balance my hormones and my body went a little haywire. Would also explain the bloating and weight bouncing. Its not harmful, its the natural state of my body. I just prefer to have a regular schedule and avoid all side effects of imbalances. Hopefully, since I stopped taking my cold meds Friday, it'll be out of my system and I can go back to normal. Fasted just shy of 16hrs yesterday and just barely under my water goal. Today is a little bit busier work day so I'll be glued to my computer and therefore my water bottle at my desk. Hopefully I can also fast a little longer but time will tell if BF makes breakfast for just him or for us both. I have a sinking feeling he'll make biscuits and gravy for us both and that's my weakness. I'll at least be close, if not at, 16hrs by the time that happens which is good. Could be worse!
11/25 - A little drop down. I noticed last night, even after eating dinner, that my stomach looked quite a bit less bloated. I almost looked like I had dropped several pounds off me the difference was so huge. Was hoping the scale would reflect what the mirror did, but I'm good with any drop! Ended up fasting 17.5hrs yesterday, woo! I was planning on eating around the 16hr mark but realized I wasn't horribly hungry, I just wanted food for the taste of it. So I showered and ran errands over my lunch period first (I got the eggs for Deviled Eggs!) Then I had a small lunch as I couldn't put together much without being late to my meeting. Held off eating again until dinner - glad I didn't snack, dinner was delicious and I could enjoy a bit more. Water was really good, too. Didn't quite measure (my cup is 32oz so its that or less), but I'm pretty sure I surpassed my target water goal. Today I'll be making my apple crisp for tomorrow and probably knock out the pecan pie cheesecake for Friday's Friendsgiving potluck (all planned around COVID restrictions - its the friends whose kids all go to school/daycare and play together. We'd all end up sharing sickness from kiddos anyway. Still taking precautions among the adults, 2-4 year olds don't always listen well). May even knock out the pecan pie for Friday, as well. Cheesecake was a request, pecan pie is for me, but I suppose I'll share for the sake of my waistband
11/26 - Power went out and woke me up. Couldn't weigh but wanted water so chugged some before power came back on. Woke up with bleeding lip due to lips being so dry and cracked. Not sure why, drank like 90oz yesterday and day before! Hopefully today I can keep up on it. Busy busy day. All I have left to make is deviled eggs, though I already have the eggs boiled. Happy Thanksgiving to all my US friends here!
11/27 - Likely a lack of water (cooking and hard to drink and go pee as much when you're trapped in the kitchen!) and food. I didn't eat too awful much, but still more than I normally would in one sitting. I had to try all the dishes, of course. Luckily we ate at about 3pm and I started fasting earlier than normal. Already almost at my 16hrs for today. Hoping to fast as long as possible today and tomorrow to offset 2 thanksgiving dinners a bit. Especially since I only got about 13.5 hrs yesterday. FamHub attempted to make Scotch eggs and oh my were they delicious. I only had one, but it was earlier than I'd normally eat (still warm and fresh - plus I had to get one before everyone else ate them all!) Friendsgiving today means more food, but I'll probably tone it down and stick with simple stuff since the majority of it will be similar to yesterday's food. Plan is to eat at 3 or so again so maybe I can start fasting early like yesterday. If not, it's fine. One day of indulgence and a second day of slightly less indulgence won't kill me. I got my pecan pie fix yesterday, FamHub's mom made it. Today I'll taste a small bit of my pecan pie cheesecake so I can learn and improve on it but no other desserts. Thankfully too much sweet stuff makes me feel sick to my stomach these days so its easier to stay away from it. Not sure when that change happened as I used to love sweets so much, but I'm sure glad it did. I'm blaming BF, he hates sweets and so I stopped eating them as frequently. Now things that used to be normal to me taste overly sweet.
11/28 - That's slightly confusing. I hit my water goal but still feel a little dehydrated. I was sooooo full it was painful to move and drinking water wasn't helping my case. Problem was, I had to try my cheesecake. It was a hit and only a couple pieces left when I went in. After dinner I realized there was no way I could eat a piece until I saw it was almost gone. Pecan pies went untouched because the cheesecake was the show stealer apparently. Either way, I'm slightly more bloated looking than yesterday, but not as bad as I expected. Weight is down so I'm not going to complain! I feel like the bloat will fix itself through today. Made it 17.25hrs fasting yesterday (yay! win for me) and starting fasting a little earlier than normal. BF said he planned on sanding down his bug for primer today. Its got a load of bondo and chipped paint. We can't afford to do a paint job, but he's done body work all his life so sanding things down and primering it isn't out of his realm. It'll also help us see what kind of body trouble the bondo is covering up so we can fix and the primer will help seal things up to avoid rust and other issues. Perfect job for a rainy dreary day.

11/23 117.0 New restrictions start just after midnight tonight. Welcome to California Junior. The governor has effectively cancelled Thanksgiving gatherings for all. I had previously cancelled (last week) the one we were planning and my menu keeps shrinking!
11/24 118.0 I know why. Need to take something!
11/25 117.5 Bathroom success after weighing. YAY!! DH baked cookies last night (for DGD#3 and DSIL) today I’ll be baking pies for DGD#4 and DGSs#2&3. DD will pick those up along with silly place card holders I made this afternoon. Also keto friendly desserts for us.
11/26 117.5 Happy Thanksgiving to the citizens of the USA! EVERYONE have a BLESSED DAY!
11/27 119.5 Aaah, Thanksgiving. Totally expected-had small amounts of sweet potato and mashed potato, 3 small homemade dinner rolls, and lots of eggnog! Really, most of the foods we enjoy regularly. Dinner rolls and mashed potatoes as well as eggnog are the culprits! LOL I didn’t even taste the keto pumpkin pie I made. I was NOT stuffed but I was FULL. All things considered, a great day. I just wish we had been able to join family!
11/28 120.0 Expected. This should be going down tomorrow. I plan to get my lazy butt out of the chair for “Kick 2020 to the Curb” AF
11/29 120.5 Hmmm It’s okay. This is actually the typical high carb 3# gain. Eight months ago (on 3/16, the day before Nevada was shutdown) I was 121.0. I now know how even a lower carb (not keto) Thanksgiving will affect me. Today my gal pals and I are having a virtual sew day through Google meet up.
Yesterday I went over my Garmin’s step goal! YAY!!7 -

Round 133 Goals: Track & Make Healthy Food Choices, Minimize Alcohol, Continue Running Plan + Add in Strength Training, Lose 1.5 pounds, DO NOT GET DERAILED by Thanksgiving
Day/Weight/Comment
11/23: 174.2 Yesterday was a rest day from exercise, but was very busy anyway and got a lot of steps organizing the house all day. Today is supposed to be a running day but it is pouring raining outside, but hopefully it will let up enough to get my run in. I'm also going to go ahead and pre-log my Thanksgiving meal for Thursday to get a good idea of what my calories need to be be the rest of the week to even out the damage
11/24: 175.6 Drank wine last night that led to late night snacking, so this is expected. On the positive side did get a run in yesterday and have my last pre-turkey trot run this afternoon. Back on track today with food choices and being AF again. (My AF plan is to reduce the amount of days a month I have any alcohol not cut it out all together).
11/25: 175.6 Ran my last Turkey Trot training run today, not a great run, having a lot of calf tightness (even though I do a lot of yoga and stretches), which is not normal for me. Have decided to run my 5K on Saturday and the it will have the best weather & not be raining. Lots of Thanksgiving prep tonight!
11/26 DNW Happy Thanksgiving!
11/27 DNW Feel puffy in the face today from the sodium. I didn't overeat to access yesterday, just had small portions of everything but definitely way, way over on calories. But had a really lovely day!
11/28: 176.8 Ugh!, here's the Thanksgiving gain, but it stops today...will be posting a loss tomorrow! I've got my 5K planned for today and it will be in the low 50's (very unseasonably warm), my favorite running weather!
11/29: 175.6 Back down to the pre-Thanksgiving number. Ran my 5k yesterday and taking it easier today with just a walk outside. Need to lose 1.5 lbs before the end of this round to post a loss and 3.0 lbs to reach round goal. Not too optimistic either will happen BUT I do plan to end this round on a losing streak and that is the positive I will focus on!

Yet again, thank you GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set up these challenges.
Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Challenge for this round (again) will be to get back into 132s. Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
11/23 DNW – spent last night at MIL's caring for her
11/24 134 – no exercise yesterday, MIL successfully transferred to a nearby care home, sadly due to Covid no-one can visit for 14 days – she's in isolation and as she is practically stone deaf phone calls are "challenging" - she refuses to wear hearing aids! Now the process of clearing her bungalow starts. 114 calories in credit.
11/25 134 – 11.31 miles walked yesterday, incorporated a walk/jog from week 2 of C 2 5K, took me 49.09 minutes, I'll do the same today. 700 calories in credit. And the drama continues !! MIL taken to A&E last night with suspected sepsis, they have admitted her, waiting to find out how she is & whether as she's non covid we can visit, I doubt it, but we need to ask.
11/26 133.4 – was hoping the gain from a week without exercise and eating of plan would drop quickly! 10.92 miles walked yesterday including walking and jogging 5K in 48.02 mins (and in the rain too!), today I plan on doing day 1 of week 3 of C25K. 909 calories in credit.
11/27 133.4 – 10.05 miles walked yesterday including completing my 5K yesterday morning in 48.58. When does it become enjoyable to run? I find it such a chore!!! 710 calories in credit. MIL not got sepsis, but a particularly nasty and severe UTI, hopefully only in hospital for a few days, we can't visit due to covid restrictions!!
11/28 134 – 10.64 miles walked yesterday including day 3 of week3 C25K in 49.38 mins, I know I did my Turkey Trot yesterday, but if we're doing a kick 2020 to the curb then I need to keep jogging/walking! 259 calories in credit, gammon yesterday – high sodium?
11/29 134 – 6.58 miles walked yesterday, calories 170 over.

Round 133
Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 138.8
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)
Round 132 (7): 139.6 to 138.8 (-0.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Maintain weight at 138-139.
- Run/walk my evening walk with the dog to work up to a 5K by Thanksgiving
11/23 - 139.4 - Not the start I wanted, but I’m feeling really bloated today so that might be part of it. I’m also really annoyed that after updating my phone last night, it appears to no longer be receiving workout and step information from my Apple Watch. I hope I can figure it out soon - in the meantime I can enter the workouts manually and change MyFitnessPal to get my steps from Pacer rather than Apple Fitness. Still frustrating though!
11/24 - 138.8 - I switched HappyScale to maintenance mode this morning. It was really bothering me to see the trend line numbers getting smaller and the next goal weight staring at me every time I opened it. Focusing on maintenance for awhile is going to involve a mental shift - but since I haven’t changed my calories or exercise habits, having the scale stall is... frustrating.
11/25 - 138.6 - The Thanksgiving cooking has officially started! I made the gravy and the cranberry cheesecake last night and will do the apple pie and the sweet potatoes today. I hope I haven’t been getting too many extra calories from the tasting and checking as I cook. 😂. I had two fun NSVs yesterday - first, I beat the final boss on my Ring Fit Adventure game! It’s pretty cool to see how many hundreds of squats and arm presses and other exercises I’ve done over the past 2.5 months I played. It’s got a new game plus that I will check out starting tomorrow. The second - my wedding/engagement ring fit again! I had to take it off during my pregnancy and never could get it on again. I kept meaning to get it resized, but.... pandemic. I decided to try it again yesterday, and it fits comfortably! So happy!
11/26 - 138.0 - Well, that’s a nice drop - but it’s not likely to stick given today’s menu. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans in the group - I hope you have a wonderful day remembering all you have to be thankful for. I’m certainly thankful for this group and the amazing support it’s given over the past few months!
11/27 - 138.2 - I would have been happy with anything under 140, so this is great. I was good about having reasonable portions yesterday, but really only estimated putting things into MyFitnessPal - I wasn’t about to worry about weighing everything this time. And I only had half a slice of cranberry cheesecake (which was still SO DELICIOUS). We did a Zoom get-together with my husband’s family yesterday and will be doing another with my side of the family this morning. We would have loved to have seen family in person, but it was still a lovely Thanksgiving. Now back on the weight-loss track!
11/28 - 137.6 - It’s certainly gratifying to see the scale numbers going down again, especially after such large turkey meals the past two evenings. Tonight I get to make one of my absolute favorite recipes - a turkey cheddar broccoli bake that we had after Thanksgiving every year while I was growing up. I’ll lighten it up a little, and have it over quinoa or brown rice - but mainly I’ll just need to be careful with portions. I just hope my kids love it as much as I do.
11/29 - 137.2 - Returned HappyScale to weight loss, since I’m back on track for the next few weeks. It would be great to lose another 1-2 lbs before Christmas. I did my 5K this morning - wasn’t able to run quite the whole thing so that is the next goal. Hard to believe I’m probably in the best shape I’ve been since my wedding 15 years ago!

11/23 - Walked 2 miles yesterday, but at a slow pace (dog wanted to sniff everything. Going to run/walk the full 5K again tonight.
11/24 - Ran 2.6 miles last night at 12:00 min/mile pace. Slow, but that did include stops to let the doggie sniff and poop. 😂
11/25 - Walked 1.57 miles last night
11/26 - Walked/jogged 2 miles with a very reluctant doggie. Going to walk a full 5K tonight to hit my Apple Watch Thanksgiving challenge.
11/27 - Ran/walked 3.25 miles last night - total time of 42 minutes. Would love to do it in under 40 on Sunday (when I won’t have the dog to slow me down and force stops.)
11/28 - Walked 1.5 miles last night and already did a 3 mile walk with the family today. Will probably jog the 1.57 loop tonight.
11/29 - 5K Day! 🦃 I did it! I ran first two miles, then had to walk/run the last one, but my overall time was 37 minutes. Super proud of myself and now want to work up to running the whole thing without stopping. 😊. Guess that will be my “Kick 2020 to the Curb” goal!10 -
I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
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.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

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 133- 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/22 …..208.1….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/23 …..207.2…..Traveling today for a new hot water heater. The one in the house only lasts about 2 minutes. Very deceiving because it actually looks brand new, even all the stickers on it. Looked up the model and serial number and it’s 31 years old! Wow, they really dusted and kept everything looking good but….. Well anyway, probably some fast food out which is always a treat since we always have little to nothing in this small town for restaurants, even pre-covid. I will try to be mindful.
11/24 …..207.2 ….. Grateful for no gain after an all day travel until after dark. Made the best choices I could. I think the lack of my usual travel gain was because of hard work when I got home. Still unpacking 22 years of home and business. Nothing here has been ready to accept my stuff. All the shelves need re-lining in the kitchens and 3 bathrooms. Tons of workers and friends in each day to help with all the mechanicals. Today I hope the new hot water heater will go in. Also the new wireless router for upstairs. Can I hope that 4 deadbolt/doorlocks will be done and old locks added to chosen interior doors? A busy day planned. I also hope to catch up on all the posts from the last round when my internet was not working. Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes.
11/25 …..206.2 ….. Not the best diet but plenty of work and movement. Grateful for the drop. Hot water in and leaking like hell. Not sure when he will be back because of the Thanksgiving holiday. My house looks like a war zone. I will try to pull off a clean kitchen table and a small Thanksgiving dinner just for my son & I tomorrow. Our standard large family dinner has been cancelled (or postponed) because of Covid restrictions in Michigan. So busy anyway. I’ve got to pull this together before Christmas!
11/26 …..206..6 ….. Hmph! Thanksgiving today. Tomorrow won’t be pretty but my son and I do have much to be grateful for this year.
11/27 …..207.6 ….. Not too bad of a post Thanksgiving weight. The immediate problem will be the leftovers. I know I’m not alone in this. I’ll try to keep things under control.
11/28 …..206.4 ….. Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!! I am DETERMINED not to let Thanksgiving be the start of a DISASTEROUS NIGHTMARE of weight gain THIS YEAR like it has been in the past. I am so happy that I am going to try to do the happy dance amid all these boxes still unpacked. Cheshire Cat smile here folks.
11/29 …..xxxxx ….. I can’t believe I forgot to weigh in today. A little busy maybe with this move? Today was a birthday party for my DGS that turned 3. My daughter had 2 hour birthday appointments one family at a time to bring gifts, have a wonderful lunch and cake & icecream. So sad we couldn’t all be together at the same time, but, hey, he got lots of company all day long and plenty of well-wishes, presents and fun!
11/30 …..xxxxx …..
12/01 …..xxxxx …..
12/02 …..xxxxx …..
My goal is to Dance for 20 minutes per day to increase my calorie burn.

11/23 DNW – spent last night at MIL's caring for her
11/24 134 – no exercise yesterday, MIL successfully transferred to a nearby care home, sadly due to Covid no-one can visit for 14 days – she's in isolation and as she is practically stone deaf phone calls are "challenging" - she refuses to wear hearing aids! Now the process of clearing her bungalow starts. 114 calories in credit.
11/25 134 – 11.31 miles walked yesterday, incorporated a walk/jog from week 2 of C 2 5K, took me 49.09 minutes, I'll do the same today. 700 calories in credit. And the drama continues !! MIL taken to A&E last night with suspected sepsis, they have admitted her, waiting to find out how she is & whether as she's non covid we can visit, I doubt it, but we need to ask.
11/26 133.4 – was hoping the gain from a week without exercise and eating of plan would drop quickly! 10.92 miles walked yesterday including walking and jogging 5K in 48.02 mins (and in the rain too!), today I plan on doing day 1 of week 3 of C25K. 909 calories in credit.
11/27 133.4 – 10.05 miles walked yesterday including completing my 5K yesterday morning in 48.58. When does it become enjoyable to run? I find it such a chore!!! 710 calories in credit. MIL not got sepsis, but a particularly nasty and severe UTI, hopefully only in hospital for a few days, we can't visit due to covid restrictions!!
11/28 134 – 10.64 miles walked yesterday including day 3 of week3 C25K in 49.38 mins, I know I did my Turkey Trot yesterday, but if we're doing a kick 2020 to the curb then I need to keep jogging/walking! 259 calories in credit, gammon yesterday – high sodium?
11/29 134 – 6.58 miles walked yesterday, calories 170 over. MIL discharged from hospital to the care home, restarts her 14 day isolation again.
11/30 133.8 – 4.06 miles walked yesterday, started clearing MIL's bungalow – so much stuff; she's a hoarder!
I'm going to continue to work through C25K and hope to improve on my time.

?�ﾟﾏﾼ?ﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ This is NOT A DIET - It’s a PERMANENT LIFESTYLE. ?�ﾟﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ7 -
have just not been focused enough over the last month. Weight up and down and no net loss. I'm now going to focus on the average weight for the round as that was very telling at the end of last round.
OSW 88KG
RSW 62.45 kg
Average last round 62.62 kg
Target this round is to lower the average weight.
11/23 62.9kg although a gain is the lowest Monday for a while. Sunday is no track salty food day so I'm happy with this today. Gym done. I'm increasing the cardio over the week to shift some kgs.
11/24 62.9kg time to get that average down. No aerobics tonight so I'm going to swim instead... It's 35C here {95F} so I'm looking forward to it.
11/25 62.7kg excited to be going down again. Gym done and planning to swim again later
11/26 62.2kg. Still crazy hot but gym done and core fitness planned for later.
11/27 62 2kg gym done and in so ready for the weekend! Pretty much maintaining on average after 5 days
11/28 62.45kg. Not ideal but have today to be on it.
11/29 62.4kg
11/30 62.95kg...same as last Monday! Looks like a maintenence round again.

Committing to 2 hours of cardio a week plus my usual 5 hours of strength training.

11/23 - 155.2lbs. So having started at 155.8 last round and ending at the same weight, I gave up yesterday. Ate slightly more, though still under calories, did no exercise and only doing a little over 1000 steps I woke up to find I'd lost half a pound!
11/24 - 155.4lbs
11/25 - 155.2lbs

11/29 - 154.8lbs
11/30 - 154.8lbs another round and I'm still not out of the obese category. I just need a final push to get me there. This goal is sending me nutty!

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.
11/28 181.6 Well, didn't do a very good job with mouth management yesterday! Lol. Need to meal plan today and allow myself only small indulgences.
11/29 180.8 Headed back in the right direction! The goodies are holding much less appeal now, and I am much more in control. Had a great exercise day yesterday too, and am not so sore I can't move this morning, so that is definitely improvement.
11/30 181 Well, I expected a loss this morning, but it didn't happen. I did really well with food and had a strong exercise day, so maybe it'll happen tomorrow or at least by the end of the round. Time will tell! It's supposed to pour rain all day today, so getting in walking miles will be a challenge. May be a Leslie Sansone video day. Need to probably give the bike a rest today (or maybe just do a shorter time). Soreness from two days in a row on it kept me awake some last night.

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.
11/28 Walked 3.06 pushing a stroller yesterday and then another .9 last night after dinner.
11/29 30 min Exercise Bike for 7.27 mi.; 3.5 mi. walk pushing stroller; over 19,200 steps
11/30 30 min Exercise Bike for 7.82 mi; 3.02 mi walk; 18,032 steps
Note: if I get to go to Florida over Christmas break, I'll count real bike miles in the bike category because I don't have an exercise bike down there but do get to ride my real bike.
Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 39.70
Kick 2020 to the Curb Goal: 3-30 min exercise bike workouts per week= 105 miles by Jan. 1 in addition to the walking goal I'm already working on. Bike miles total= 15.09

Round 133
11/29 - 5K Day! 🦃 I did it! I ran first two miles, then had to walk/run the last one, but my overall time was 37 minutes. Super proud of myself and now want to work up to running the whole thing without stopping. 😊. Guess that will be my “Kick 2020 to the Curb” goal!
Great job on your 5K!!! You SHOULD be proud!6 -

Look at all your progress though! Amazing job! Sometimes we just stall for a bit. Whatever you do, just keep at it. Your efforts WILL pay off.7
