12/06 - 151.9 - Not shocked or worried. Had pizza for lunch as well as homemade bread and chicken gnocchi soup for dinner. A very heavy, high-carb day. Had one small glass of wine, but tummy feels like a hangover. I'm guessing that doesn't have to do with wine and is all food-related. I did have lots of dairy - cheese for lunch, heavy cream and cheese for dinner. Sipping water frequently this morning to overcome and seems to be helping. Managed 14hr fast yesterday and ~75oz water. Depending on when wings are done for Football Sunday and when my fast ends (aiming 16hrs, if I can), I'll save leftover chicken gnocchi for lunch tomorrow. Hopefully I can show a drop in the morning to get back on track.

Previous Day's Comments12/03 - Wowza, I didn't expect this. Scale even teased me by flasting 149.9 a couple times before settling. My official TOM is here so I'm wondering if that's playing a part in it. Hopefully it also means my hormones are rebalancing from the (potential) medicine interaction. I did admire myself in the mirror this morning - I can see how much different I look without all the chronic bloating. Apparently my fasting sweet spot is 17-18+ hrs instead of 16 to see significant drops in bloating. May be a bit more challenging to reach on a daily basis, but when its just BF and I, dinner is early enough to make it doable. I drank about 112oz (estimating) yesterday. I was real thirsty towards the evening. Fasted 17.5hrs. Was a bit peckish but wanted slightly longer fast. Had back to back meetings that I knew I couldn't make it through, though. BF made steak and mashed potatoes for us for dinner. I tried to eat slowly and mindfully as to not overeat, but I finished my plate and then finally felt the fullness 20 minutes later. Luckily, the stuffed feeling lasted only about 10 minutes and I was back to feeling satiated. Bodies are funny when you try to learn to listen to them. Definitely not the most straightforward at times.
12/04 - Ah man! Honestly, I expected a larger bump up. BF made chicken alfredo for dinner so there's some bloating from that. Fasted 16hrs - he made breakfast as well. Biscuits and gravy, yuuum. Its been a few weeks since I've had that so I decided to splurge. Hit 75oz I think. Didn't measure leftover water from my 32oz water bottle. I'm satisfied with it. Lazy day today, I think. Going to make bread base to refrigerate tonight for tomorrow's chicken gnocchi. Recipe says refrigerating it helps with fluffiness or something? Can be made 3 days ahead before popping it into oven. Guess we shall find out! Found out last night, his ex is letting the kids come down here for Christmas! A week!! They leave the 26th to go back We weren't expecting to have them again until spring break. He bought them presents from us to ship up there but now we want to spoil them some more and grab a few more things for them to open down here with us. EEK! Exciting.
12/05 - I'm shocked to be down. I started fasting after dinner but decided to drink a glass of hot gluhwein after BF told me the 2.5hr call with his mom is about his dad in hospital. Its an ugly situation all around. I felt helpless as I'm the helper type so I sipped my gluhwein and read while he isolated in the garage to work on the bug. Got to socially distance see Fam! COVID cancelled our usual Christmas parade, but the community (about 30 people) got together to do their own. Park on main street, stay in vehicles, and watch them drive personal vehicles decorated past us. We parked next to Fam and got to see the Godkids through the windows (Godson is still showing zero signs of COVID. If anything, he's crazier and happier than before hospital. Think its because he's free from hospital again). I was able to ask about gluten free flour alternative and now I can make enough dinner to drop off chicken gnocchi and bread. FamWife has sensitivies/intolerances so the soup has just enough of those to make her a little uncomfortable, but nothing huge (a little gluten from gnocchi and lactose). So I'll be making a second loaf today of gluten free bread to drop off to her with the soup! At least I know she can enjoy the bread without worry! Cooking and baking will be a good distraction and therapy for me today.

Completed: 3/1512/01 - What better way to beat anxiety than yoga. Today I'll try to get some meditative yoga to help me calm down after last night.
12/02 - Yesterday I got halfway through my yoga workout and the dog started throwing up everywhere. I have a weak stomach so cleaning it had me gagging and running to the bathroom. Ruined the mood. Try again today to make up for it
12/03 - Did get my yoga done yesterday. Yoga With Adriene has her December calendar up so I'm following those videos on the days I can practice. Yesterday was a 10 minute meditation yoga so I decided to get some movement as well by finishing the practice I didn't get to on 12/01. I just started over since it was also a pretty short one.
12/04 - Started my yoga practice but was interrupted with BF waking up earlier than normal. The worst part about having a house a tad too small.
12/05 - I realized I'm behind on YWA calendar. I did the meditation as day 2 instead of day 1! Oops. Hoping a short practice today since I'm not sure plans.
12/06 - Didn't get a practice in and not sure I'll get one in today. Will have to focus on getting them done during the week and give myself slack on weekends since they're always spur of the moment.

12/03 - 192.6 - 133g protein; 33g fat; 10g net carb
12/04 - 192.4 - 135g protein; 31g fat; 6g net carb
12/05 - 191.2 - 149g protein; 38g fat; 7g net carb
12/06 - 190.2 - 145g protein; 30g fat; 10g net carb - I'm liking these losses! First big push with these macros so I'm assuming it will slow down but I could get used to this! Went to the Christmas market to get outside yesterday but the line was 2 hours to get in due to max capacity (I got there before it opened too!!!). Good grief! I didn't wait around that long because I figured the experience I've loved in previous years includes the people watching and fun. Oh well, hope it's better next year!!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/02 …..206.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/03 …..206.2 ….. A low cal day to put things back in order.
12/04 …..203.6 ….. I actually counted how many times I got up last night to pee and in 5 hours I got up 10 times! That is a lot, even for a diabetic. I presume much of this overnight loss is fluid although I don’t recall eating anything that would retain such water! I did eat another low calorie and lower carb day but I didn’t get in many steps or movement. It was a paperwork day. Today I work on Christmas decorating a new house where nothing is planned or measured. Gotta start fresh on where to put things. I am struggling to make decisions.
12/05 …..203.8 ….. Hopefully rehydrated after a large fluid loss.
12/06 …..203.4 ….. I’m still bouncing around in the 203 range so that is a big YAY for me. I thought the big drop between the Dec 3 and Dec 4 would not stick. This just inspires me even more….. Come on Onederland!

My goal is to Dance for 20 minutes per day to increase my calorie burn.
Dec 01 – Danced 20 minutes and my was it harder than last time!
Dec 02 – Danced my heart out for 20 minutes.
Dec 03 – No dancing. Paperwork and wrapping presents.
Dec 04 – Danced for 20 minutes to mostly classic rock.
Dec 05 – Danced for about 22 minutes to a nice mix of music.

@GrandmaJackie DH deleted all news and sports apps/tabs from his computer a couple of weeks ago because of all of the negativity. I DID learn (eventually) that he had a headache that wouldn’t go away. We both have arthritis in our necks so morning h/as are common but usually do go away once we’re up and moving.
I keep forgetting that you used to live in Vegas. I would love to walk through the garden at Ethel M’s if it was a bit warmer but I really hate COLD particularly after enduring Colorado for over 30 years!
We DO need to take care of ourselves, stay safe and stay healthy!2 -
@amylein I’m glad you saw it as a snowman, too! I was informed by my DH and the homeowner that it is a gingerbread man! OOPS! LOL It looked more white to me than brown. I’ll have to drive by in the daylight. Art makes his Manhattans with sweet vermouth and there were 2 of the biggest maraschino cherries I have ever seen in the bottom! It was very good but I could definitely tell it had “sweet” things in it. Amazing how the taste buds change.

@nanishora I have learned over the decades that what I ate yesterday won’t be reflected on the scale for up to 3 days. I was always amazed how I would gain after starving myself then go out for pizza and ice cream and have a drop the next day! It was only after I started keeping track of what I ate each day and my daily weight, that I discovered this pattern.4

Okay, pardon me for my OCD kicking in. Throw snowballs at me if you must. This round started on 12/3 and ends on 12/12. 😁😁1

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.

He ate and his h/a improved. I got over 9 hours of sleep last night!!! WHOO HOO! That is unheard of!

Round 132 (7): 139.6 to 138.8 (-0.8 lbs)
Round 133 (8): 138.8 to 137.0 (-1.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Enjoy the holidays and all the associated treats in moderation. Focus on enjoying the moments, not binging on the sweets.
- Train to be able to run a 5K without stopping by New Years Day.
12/3 - 136.8 - In for another round! Really want to work hard and lose another pound or two before Christmas. The temptation is starting already though - my daughter declared last night that she wants to make Christmas cookies today. I’ve got the sugar cookie dough defrosting in the fridge - we’ll have so much fun! I just have to limit myself to one cookie.
12/4 - 136.0 - Hello, mini-whoosh! Haven’t had one of you in awhile. Had a great day yesterday - we did do the cookies though we used leftover orange frosting, so they kind of ended up as Halloween/Christmas hybrid cookies. 😂. The one I had was delicious though! And it’s great to be able to model healthy attitudes toward food to my daughter. Today she’s saying she wants to go exploring (and I want to get us outside as much as possible before the new stay-at-home order kicks in here in the Bay Area) so I’m hoping to take the kids to a nearby open space. We’ll see what happens when I tell them that means they have to put on their shoes. 🤣
12/5 - 136.2 - My county announced yesterday that we are implementing a new stay-at-home order starting on Sunday. No non-essential travel, no social gatherings of any kind, non-essential businesses shut down again. We’ve been in a social “pod” with one other family and our twice-weekly play dates have been a major part of the structure of our week. I know we are incredibly lucky to be in a position to weather this relatively easily, but it’s still a blow. However, we will absolutely do what we need to in order to help slow the spread of this virus. Now I need to focus on helping my kids through this and not just turning to cookies, cakes, candy and all the holiday treats to “make myself feel better.” *sigh*
12/6 - 136.2 - A short workout this morning, before a pancake breakfast with the family and a virtual book club Zoom call. Just finished getting most of my meal prep done - carrot cake overnight oats for breakfast, chipotle shredded chicken for lunch and a Tuscan chicken stew in the slow cooker for dinner tonight. Still deciding if I will make egg muffins or just hard boil some eggs. Whew!

12/3 - Walked/jogged 1.57 miles last night. I’d like to find a good C25K program that I could jump into - I don’t need to start from the beginning, but I’d like a plan to help me get to a full 5K without breaks.
12/4 - Walked/jogged 2.1 miles last night. I also downloaded the C25K app - I think I can start with Week 6 and work up from there. Hardest part will be getting the dog to cooperate!
12/5 - So...I hope this is ok, but after a lot of thought yesterday, I am going to change my goal for this challenge. I do still want to be able to run a 5K without stopping, but this new stay-at-home order made me rethink whether that’s what I need to be working towards right now. As I explained above, my kids (and I) are losing our only social outlet - our play dates with our “pod family” - which have been a major factor in keeping my 5-year old (and therefore me and my almost 2-year old) grounded. Even with them, it’s been rough on her and she’s acted out a lot... and I’m ashamed to say I haven’t been as patient and calm as I’d like to be when she has. I think it’s a fitting way to end 2020 by focusing on connecting to and centering myself - so I don’t turn to food to deal with this stay-at-home situation, and so I can better support my kids as they go through it as well. 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.
12/6 - No yoga yet, but I sat and just breathed for about 10 minutes last night after everyone else went to bed.

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!😷
December 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.- 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.

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.

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 6,483} ~ woot hoot, now it’s time to keep the scale moving the right direction. The key is to keep moving 🚶♀️and healthy food choices 🫐🍌🥒🍎🧅🍆

Challenge for this round (again) will be to get back into and stay in133s. 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

12/3: 218.2 (-0.2)/28.5 (-0.1). I'm in a bit of an annoying plateau phase; I just can't get below 218. That being said, I can remember very clearly (and recently) when I was talking about not being able to get under 220 for the longest time. Patience is a virtue. This is a marathon, not a sprint. I'm like 98% on-plan, all the time. And, if I'm being perfectly honest with myself, I have not been exercising AT ALL. There's a lot of room for me to put more effort into this. With that being said, I'm going to shoot for a workout tonight (at home) when I get off of work.
12/4: 218.0 (-0.2)/28.5 (0.0). I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SICK OF 218.X!!!! I just had to say that. My scale was REALLY TRYING to get me down to 217.8 today, but, in the end, it relented and stayed at 218.0. Exercise did not happen last night, at least not what I was trying for originally (and I wasn't "mad" at that at all). My brain is ready for my body to release some weight, but apparently brain and body are not on the same page. Perhaps my body is rebelling, angry that I have not followed through with my promises of exercise. You're right, body. I need to get you moving.
12/5: 217.4 (-0.6)/28.4 (-0.1). Sweet. That's all I was asking for (finally spying sub-218.0). My brother-in-law and his fiancee are coming over today for outdoors social distancing. We're going to order out, and I'll get a delicious keto-friendly salad. I feel a little guilty having them come over with the COVID-19 craziness currently happening (20,000+ cases per day in CA and over 200,000 nationwide), but I'll be masked at almost all times (except while eating/sipping), we'll be socially distanced, and, again, we'll be on my covered patio outside.

Yay!!! So happy for you!!! Congrats! next step is to keep going! Proud of how far you've come!4 -
he '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.

Round 134
I think you are very wise to change your goal to one that benefits you mentally during another lock down. Are you allowed to take your kids on walks though? I don't know where you live, but if it's not too cold, that might help burn off some energy for your littles. I hate that you are having to endure this...again. Hang in there!

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.
12/07 177.6 Had a good food day yesterday and got in lots of exercise, so I’m not sure why this continues to go back up. Will have to see what I can do about this today. I can’t fast very well here at my parents’ house though. They just wouldn’t understand it. So that will work against me. Now that I think about it, I didn't drink much water yesterday, so I'll make that a priority today.

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, 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.
12/07 Got in a 3.16 mile walk before EMS brought Mom home. I had planned for 4 miles, but Dad called right in the middle of it, and I had to make a beeline back to their house by a shorter route. But I had almost 18K steps with everything that was going on, so at least I stayed active!
Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 48.14 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.6
