@quiltingjaine - I like the snowman! They're so happy and festive.

Manhattans are one of my go-to drinks if I don't get bourbon/scotch or wine. I order them with dry vermouth and they're a lot less sweet which I prefer. Hope you enjoyed!

amylein · December 2020

@HoopsGuy72 - congrats on 217! Yeah!! Have fun at the gathering - sounds like you're doing it all the right way!

🎄🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄
🎄 DECEMBER 🎄
🎄🌟🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄

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

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

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

2020 Focus:

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

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

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

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

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

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

The 'drops' will be progressively difficult as December moves along. I'm OK with that. In fact, I will probably gain a few lbs. I don't deny myself the many food and beverage celebrations that come with the holiday season but the log will be for honesty sakes.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/03 179.0 Baby, it’s COLD outside! So all my exercise was done inside yesterday. I’ve done 18:6 IF the past two days so I think that is helping me.
12/04 178.0 Had a really good food day yesterday and did 19:5 IF.
12/05 176.8 This feels great! If I know my body though, it’ll blip back up tomorrow. But I’m enjoying it today! Did 16:8 yesterday with the IF. Hopefully the weather will clear a bit today, and I can get in an outdoor walk. Got the Christmas tree up and will decorate it today if all goes as planned. Soon, I’ll be traveling to NC to be with my Mom. Dad says there’s a plan to bring her home from the hospital, but it’s complicated and he’s so exhausted he can’t articulate it well. Will find out more this evening. I don’t think there’s any hope that she pulls out of this though. Just a matter of time.
12/06 177.2 I figured this was coming after yesterday’s big drop, but I’m ok with it. It’s still trending down really well of late. I brought my scales to my parents’ house because I will have to really keep a close eye on things while I’m here or I will undo all my hard work.

12/03 Did 2 miles of Leslie Sansone video and really enjoyed it. She really works you out, full-body! I’m still a little uncoordinated for some of the moves she adds in, but it’s fun and hopefully I’ll get less clutsy as I do more.
12/04 Rode 35 minutes and 8.52 miles on my exercise bike. No walking other than 11K+ steps, but I’m only counting real “walking outside or in an exercise walk” miles.
12/05 Rode 30 minutes for 7.58 miles. No walks, but 13k steps getting things done around the house trying to get ready for Christmas and cook some meals to put in my parents’ freezer for whatever the future holds. Realized this morning that I had confused some bike and walking miles when working on the totals, so I’ve gone back to correct the totals in this post.
12/06 Rode my Dad’s ancient elliptical bike last night. It’s harder than mine so I'll have to get used to it, but it’s better than nothing. Cranked out a tough 4 miles on this total body machine and I’m feeling it in my arms a bit this morning. Hope to get in a long walk today before they bring Mom home.

Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 44.98 WALK
Total Bike Miles toward Goal: 43.93 BIKE

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. May do another 5K walk on or around Jan. 1, too, and just see if I can beat my Turkey Trot time.

Round 134 will be spent in Florida. The good is that there are lovely opportunities to get outdoor exercise but the bad is more dietary challenge with restaurants and MIL cooking when we visit her. Goal for this round is to get to 135 or below, which should not be hard given that the past two days I was under 136 (.8 uptick this morning to start off the round

) and this goal would support my goal for overall month of December of 2 lb loss from yesterday, Dec 1.

For my kick it to the curb, my goal for while I am in Florida (this whole round) is to walk/run to Sombrero beach, take a picture of the sun rising, and walk/run back. That appears to be a little over 6.5 miles total. With that milage, it will likely be a lot more walk than run. :P I’ll figure out my next challenge when I get back home.

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), not gain over Thanksgiving.

Round 134 – starting weight 136.4

12/3 – 136.0 (florida scale) Successfully handled dining out last night and keeping under calories. I order two items from the appetizer section, tuna tataki and lump blue crab cakes with chipotle sauce. Perfect meal. For main exercise, I have been heading out before sunrise for my alone walks. Yesterday, got a 4 mile walk and this morning I went for 4.5 miles. Working closer to heading for my Sombrero Beach morning.

12/4 – 135.2 (florida scale) Had to change the batteries last night. I have no idea if that impacted numbers either before battery change or after. But this number is within the realm of possibilities given I weighed this same number one day last round. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

12/5 – 134.8 (florida scale) To continue to get through these remaining days in the keys, I have pre-tracked all my dinners and breakfasts, including dining out (accessed online menus). That bit of control is helping me get through.

12/6 – 133.8 (florida scale) Really curious if this scale is accurate or not. Anyhow, yesterday, I found I had woken up before 6 am and decided to go for the “sunrise photo walk” sooner than I planned, given I needed to be out the door by 6:10 to make it to the beach in time for sunrise. I arrive at 6:54 for the 6:56 sunrise. Glad to have done it. Also, sharing a totally different observation. Last night, did take out pizza. Now, my normal method is “more is better” and would have ordered the 16” pizza and who knows what I would have eaten. Instead, I looked up pizza calories and concluded that with a 14” pizza I could have 2 slices safely, but then figure out during the day that will al little tweaking of the rest of the day, I could have 3. I thoroughly enjoyed dinner!

12/04: 123.4- Been a little messed up the pass 3 weeks- thought I had started menopause but went backwards which explains alot!!! I am 55 I am over this!!!! Still TOMing!!! 6 days later, migraine for 3 weeks, but now know I did not overeat as much as I thought and was ridiculous in my cravings. Hope to be over this hormonal blip soon and be able to access and monitor in a regular controlled environment this round.
12/05: 124.2- Going wrong way and still messed up hormonally -its been a week now. Today no pickleball, home gym workout, harder to push my here.
12/06: 124.2- So happy to see I held steady. Made my husband his favorite dinner but must have ate in moderation, he had to work yesterday and had an extremely difficult day! While waiting for him drank some wine and talked with my family out west. No pickleball, my secret to calorie burn, yesterday...will play this afternoon. Tried my best o log, always struggle with my own recipes and then proportions.

Last chance before the Solstice, Christmas, and New Year's Eve, to get some calorie domination in!

Goal: Preplan my food Every day
Goal: Be under 200lbs at the end of the round

Day/Weight/Comment
12/03 = 200.6/91
The saga of the chicks continues. Abandoning the two remaining eggs yesterday, the hen and three chicks had a grand first day out of the nest pecking, scratching, and all that wholesomeness, but did not return to the nest, I had to gather up the eggs and keep them warm till they hatched -which they did today (after a rough night for me of turning up/down an electric throw blanket every hour or so to maintain heat at the right temp)
Monitoring the two chicks (and their blanket) all day, I had no energy left for anything else, None. I found myself completing the routine tasks mindlessly, and definitely would have strayed from my kj budget but I'd already preplanned my food which saved me the effort of having to choose what to have and made it... just easier.
I realised I need this in my life. It's a new goal to preplan my food every day for Dec (changes on the day are fine)
12/04 = 91
Sad start to the morning, one of the chicks passed away overnight (drowned in the chick waterer somehow) we buried her under the mulberry tree, RIP sweetie.
The good news is that in the evening the two late hatched chicks, now named Dora (the explorer) and Daisy (she? is tiny with a large yellow patch) easily joined the other two chicks under the fluffy butt of Tweets (the hen), who at first seemed a little confused but happy at having suddenly doubled her wards
I tried to stay awake to listen out for chick trouble and don't even remember falling into blissfully undisturbed sleep.
(I didn't feel so great today and didn't eat enough, or so MFP informs me in Big Red Letters, I do hope it's not three strikes you're out )
12/05 = 90.8
I'm feeling the calorie deficit today! That'll teach me to eat half my calories, I'm extra useless!
So I'm having an indulgence day, the only thing I'm keeping green today is the kj count, the rest can put on the red light,
put on the red light
put on the red light
Roxanne!
12/06 =90.5
Wowzers! Onederland!
Hope I can still be under 200lbs at the end of the round! *fingers crossed* If I can manage it I decided that I'm going to buy myself a fruit tree as a reward
(I can't tell ya how hard it was to come up with a non-food based reward

note to self: get better at that!)

The younger chicks have settled in and all four are enjoying the arrival of an electric brooder (that I ordered way back before my hen went broody) though they seem to prefer the real thing most of the time

Onwards to building the top part of the enclosure before they start flying!

Day/Weight/Comment

12/3 - 182.4
Another unintentional very low-cal day. I’m finding that a high-protein + moderate fat/low(er) simple carbs breakfast leaves me less hungry all day, and we’ve been having bigger lunches and a small snack at supper time the past few days. Not sure DH would go for this way of eating long term, but I could. Anyway, I’m feeling much better and in control than I have in a long time (which I attribute partly to being off FB for the past couple of weeks) + not scrolling the news feeds constantly! I’m hoping to get some walking mileage in the next few days while it’s in the 40s, before the temp drops and I hibernate indoors! Wishing everyone a good round!

12/4 - 182
I’ve decided to drop the competitive (mostly with myself!) frame around walking, though I’ll likely sign up in the spring for some races again. One thing I’m trying to work on along with another Type A friend is being kinder and less competitive with myself. All my life I’ve pushed myself very hard toward quantifiable goals, which has helped me to a fair amount of success in different realms. But my friend suggested a few days ago that I’m too hard on myself, especially during this weird, difficult time we’re living. “You’d never push a friend that hard or track them in so many arenas — calories, miles/minutes, words [I’m a writer] per day, or beat them up when they fall short.” I think she may be right. Goals are useful, but there’s a time for everything and although I’ll keep tracking calories & weight for a while, mostly out of habit, I’m going to try to cut myself some slack in other areas. I even slept in this morning!

12/5 - 182
Happy Saturday, all!

DH brought home some raspberry sherbet. I indulged a bit. I hadn’t had any in, wow, years maybe. Delish, and now I’m over it.

Round 134

Please join us! Starting on 12/03 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 134
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Goals
- check in at least every other day
- Participate
- Low carb

SW: 169.9
GW: 167

Day/Weight/Comment
12/03 169.9 ~ {Steps 6,981} ~ Spot on with diet and a shorter workout. I pulled a hamstring a couple days ago so basically besides yoga, I’m only talking Pete for his morning walk.
12/04 169.9 ~ {Steps 8,985} ~ I decided to start decorating, haven’t been in the mood lately. 😖
12/05 169.9 ~ {Steps 14,195} ~ I’ve NEVER had the scale the same for 3 days, my sodium isn’t high or calories. The only difference is my workouts. I’m thinking I might have to get another SHORT walk in.on the bright spot my hamstring isn’t as bad.
12/06 168.5 ~ {Steps TBD} ~ woot hoot, now it’s time to keep the scale moving the right direction. The key is to keep moving 🚶‍♀️and healthy food choices 🫐🍌🥒🍎🧅🍆

Very very long way of explaining that I’m changing my goal to 15-20 minutes of yoga and mindfulness meditation each night before bedtime. If anyone has suggestions for videos/apps they like, I’d love to hear them.

On YouTube, I watch Yoga With Adriene. She's awesome. Feeling lonely? She has a video for that. Feeling stressed? She has it. Meditation? Yep, those, too. I think that's what I most love about YWA - there's something for just about every mood/feeling I'm dealing with that day.
