Hi, I’m Karen, in my 50’s
OSW Sept.2018 187
12/3-165-Rode my bike 10 miles and tried to eat healthy.
12/4-166-IF 17 hrs. Lots of digging in the yard.
12/5-164-IF 16 hrs. I didn’t have time to walk far or ride my bike, so I rollerbladed around (outside) our house; the dogs love it and chase me the whole time. Got the Christmas decor up in our new house, I know how @deepwoodslady feels, but, Donna, we can keep moving it all around until we have to put it all away.Our adult boys are coming to visit today, FIL is on hospice and won’t last until Christmas.
12/6-DNW- We got 2 visits in with FIL and our boys before they had to head home. It was wonderful for them to see him. While they were here, we ate and drank ourselves silly.
12/7-DNW-IF 17 hrs. I refuse to weigh after a big weekend of eating what I normally don’t. Bloat doesn’t mean weight gained. Biked 10 miles and walked 2 miles.

@UTMom81 It's the holiday season. The word is Jingle, not Jiggle! LOL

Month/Day: Weight / Comment
12/03 194.8 It was just bloating. I had pizza last night because I was busy running errands with my children. I do my Zumba every morning for the past month not one day missed. 15 minutes wakes me up and loosens up my muscles. If I get additional workout in great but to me the morning Zumba is part of my routine like brushing my teeth.
12/04: 194.6 Busy cleaning house getting ready to put this tree up. So very active.
12/05: 193.2 storming here all day. Tree trimming all day...
12/06: 193.9 I did tree trimming today. I was eating on the fly yesterday it was hard to be mindful.
12/07: 193.3
12/08: 194.6 13733 steps 1890 calories. There are busy days ahead with lots of sweet stuff everywhere I look. I am done with tree and decorations, on to finalize the shopping and wrapping.

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!
12/07 …..202.6 ….. I am determined to not let this holiday season put me in my typical downward spiral into H – E – Double Hockeysticks. 3 small light meals yesterday and no snacks.
12/08 …..203.4 ….. A Very Very late dinner last night (after midnight). I was so hungry that I went back for seconds. Lesson learned (but will it be remembered by my brain fog brain?) I must eat earlier so I’m not so ravished! I will focus on a low cal day today but spread my meals out and eat proper!
12/09 …..xxxxx …..
12/10 …..xxxxx …..
12/11 …..xxxxx …..
12/12 …..xxxxx …..
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.
Dec 06 – Lots of movement but no dancing due to workmen here all day and continued unpacking.
Dec 07 – More workers here and no dancing. However, if you count going up and down stairs for hours as exercise, I got in my fair share!

Day/Weight/BF%/comment
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.
12/6: 218.0 (+0.6)/28.5 (+0.1).
12/7: 216.4 (-1.6)/28.1 (-0.4). Yesterday happened (uptick on weigh-in), but it was after a night of food and drinks (stayed within keto, however). I was great yesterday, though, and my weigh-in agrees with me! I haven't been "exercising" per say, but I have been moving my body around more. Baby steps. Today is my rotating day off (every other Monday), so I'm home. I have tons to do, but I'll try to get a little exercise in today. I felt stuck (severe plateau) 3 days ago, but it finally feels like things are moving. This feels like my first WHOOSH in a while (at least since my initial weight loss). Additionally, anything I have been doing in the last few weeks has pretty much been without exercise; there's still LOTS of room for me to improve, most of which will aid me in my fitness/weight loss goals.
12/8: 217.4 (+1.0)/28.4 (+0.3). Hmm. There's no great explanation for this. My best guess is that yesterday's weigh-in was a bit of a mirage; "food and drinks" doesn't generally lead to long-term weight-loss. That being said, a bit of a bump is okay right now, especially when the "bump" didn't take me over 218.0. Slow and steady. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

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.

12/5 118.0 We ate at Golden Corral yesterday-Early Bird Special. It wasn’t crowded at 3:30 and we were finished and leaving by 4:30. OMAD
12/6 118.0 DH had headache and slept a lot yesterday and didn’t want to eat. I should have ignored him and fixed dinner early (3-4) because I was getting pretty darn hungry by 5:30 when it was ready! He ate and his h/a improved. I got over 9 hours of sleep last night!!! WHOO HOO! That is unheard of!
12/7 118.0 Going shopping today
12/8 116.5 Yesterday we didn’t eat until 3:45pm on the way home from shopping. Outdoor dining at In-N-Out - the weather was perfect! I did have a handful of almonds around 8.
My goal is to get motivated to do ANYTHING!
12/4 Barely moved. 2621 steps!
12/5 UGH! Worse than day before!
12/6 WelI got more steps 3,377
12/7 6398 steps love Walmart and Sam’s Club because it’s walking with a purpose.7 -
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 a little tweaking of the rest of the day, I could have 3. I thoroughly enjoyed dinner!
12/7 – 134.6 (florida scale) Makes more sense, but there is also an interesting coincidence (of course we are only at n=2), but I have had two notable upticks since arriving in the Keys. Both were the day after I did a 3.3 mile walk/run. Yesterday, I also did something new. Hubby had been commenting on how we were in the Keys and had been unable to have a drink due to daily calorie allotments. So I proactively looked up a classic margarita recipe and preplanned our day to include one margarita each. 15 minutes later I needed a nap…….
12/8 – 134.6 (florida scale) Lazy walking day yesterday, BUT I met people which is nice because we know very few people here.

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. Whew!
12/7 - 136.2 - Yesterday didn’t go so well - slipped and had several more cookies than I should have last night. We’ll see if it affects the scale in the next few days. I did manage to stop myself from eating even more of them - and I was beating myself up for awhile about it. But I spent a chunk of my yoga/wind-down time thinking of all the progress I’ve made and everything I’ve accomplished, and how one time of a couple hundred extra calories can’t undo that. I’ll do better today, and tomorrow and the next day.
12/8 - 135.4 - I like that number! Maybe I should eat more shortbread cookies. 😂. Good day so far - did 45 minutes of Just Dance before breakfast and then took the kids out for a hike (if I call it a hike instead of a walk, they’ll wear their backpacks and carry their own snacks 😉). Move goal on my Apple Watch complete before lunch!

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.
12/7 - Did a 12 minute set of “wind down” yoga and then some sitting and breathing before bed last night
12/8 - Skipped yoga last night; will make sure to do it tonight

12/08 132.8 – I'll be happy if I stay at this until the end of the round. 12.94 miles yesterday including completed 5K (walking/jogging) in 46.11; I've repeated week 3 of C25K yet again, still finding running for the 3 minutes a chore, but have made the decision to go to week 4 today which includes a 5 minute run, otherwise I'll never move on!!! 669 calories in credit.
12/09 132.8 – 10.57 miles walked yesterday– didn't get to do my C25K as it was a very icy morning, so just walked. 779 calories in credit.

I've been losing and gaining the same 1kg for the last 2 months. I am now determined to stay in 64kgs and not head back up to 66kg.8 -
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.

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.
12/08 176.8 Here we go! I did get in a 17:7 IF yesterday after all. Not so hard when everyone sleeps late (but me of course). Then it was so frantic around here after they got up, I barely had time to think about eating. So many hospice deliveries of equipment and such. It was a blur.
12/09 177.2 Folks are bringing in food now. Have to be careful. 17:7 IF.

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!
12/08 Carved out enough time before bed to get in 5 miles on the ancient elliptical bike thingy. Felt great! My brother promises he’ll come relieve me for an hour or so to let me get in a good walk today. We shall see! Making sure I get in some exercise though sure is helping me cope with Mom’s condition. So happy to be working toward an exercise goal in the midst of all this.
12/09 Was able to go on a walk, not as long as I wanted, at only 2.69, but I’m just thankful my brother relieved me long enough to do that.
Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 50.83 WALK
Total Bike Miles toward Goal: 48.93 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.10 -

Day/Weight/Comment
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 myself 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 to log, always struggle with my own recipes and then proportions.
12/07: 123.0 The scale is a crazy thing- No idea when I went to weigh myself this morning I would be down, don't get me wrong this is great but did not see it coming- I am really hormonally screwed up right now so it must be related to this since I ate slightly over my calories yesterday.
12/08: 123.2- Again tried to guess, was wrong but going sideways for a few days would be good. Migraine finally abated, will probably be more productive in day now, maybe thought I would have stayed the same or slight move down but headache didn't stop to mysteriously around 6pm. Use an Apple Watch and not getting the negative adjustments- trying to search for more info onsite but search engine does not seem to work for me.
12/09: 121.6- Now I know this is too fast I realize that I did not so much undereat yesterday but overexercise and run out of time to eat. Played in a Pickleball Tournament last night, so ate a light dinner before and nothing afterwards. Played all afternoon to warm up - really needed to. Not sure how my body will respond today. I just never had a drop like this before with no prior bloating. I want to lose slow and steady and have a sustainable weight loss.

Dec I will once again target 100 miles! PLUS 10x 30 min recumbent bike workouts. AND daily plank (no specific number or time ... just do a plank). Kick starting my weight loss that has been losing momentum before the new year.
Monthly Running Total
GOAL : Progress
- Walk 100 miles: 22.6
- Bike 10x 30 min: 1
- Plank 31 days: 5
Enjoyed a couple of walks yesterday interrupted by a potty break. Getting old sucks sometimes! Finally got back on the recumbent bike for the first time in a couple of months. My single plank is getting easier each day so I'm thinking of either making them longer or doing multiple.8 -

12/09 - 153.9 - Still dropping down. Had pizza again last night. Thought I'd be up more than this. Eating window pushed back pretty late so I'll be content if I make it to a 16hr fast today. Managed 17.5hrs yesterday. Had more than 64oz but not sure I hit 75oz, either. Feeling less dehydrated this morning, which I'm happy about. Not sure lunch or dinner plans - still have leftover chicken gnocchi I may finish off. Hopefully it won't be a double-whammy like yesterday with all the carbs.

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.
12/06 - 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.
12/07 - Holy moly bloat! The scale bloat is much worse than the visible bloat. Possibly due to water - I definitely didn't get more than 45oz yesterday. Woke up real thirsty, too, which is a tell-tale sign I didn't drink enough yesterday. Didn't think I ate too awful much. Fasted 15hrs, not terrible for a weekend for me. I'm very very tired, been up 10 minutes and already eying a nap kind of tired. Hopefully I can wake up and be functional soon.
12/08 - Easing back down. Last night was a heavy dinner of steak, a small bit of macaroni&cheese (I'm a little kid), mashed potatoes, and greens so I'm not surprised to be up quite a bit still. Got ~75oz water but woke up feeling dehydrated still. Lips chapped, mouth dry, skin feeling dry and tight in a shriveled up kind of way. Definitely need to push water and I think that'll also help with the weight. Fasted just over 17hrs yesterday. I easily could've managed longer, but back to back meetings would've forced OMAD and I wasn't prepared for that. Today's meetings are a little more forgiving timeline wise - though will force a 16.5hr fast minimum. Not so forgiving when it comes to fitting in yoga. Its hard to listen to a yoga video AND a meeting!

12/01 -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.
12/07 -No yoga. Couldn't even finish making coffee and BF was ready to go. I kind of figured that would happen. Hoping today I'll wake up a little bit more so I can get a practice in, even if its short and sweet.
12/08 -No yoga, work has been crazy busy with meetings. Today is even busier! Almost back to back meetings. It'll be a miracle if I can get yoga in today. The remainder of my work week looks just as bad. Will keep looking for opportunities
12/09 -Managed to squeeze in a really quick practice for gut health yesterday. Not sure I'll get to today, but I'll keep trying to squeeze something in whenever I possibly can!

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
Round 133
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
12/03: 210.4 / happy to start another ten days that matter. It’s easy to see how an unexamined life can eb away if you aren’t paying attention.
12/04: 209 / Hope you all have a great Friday! This weekend I am going to try to figure out how to get more active. Yoga with Adrienne is my go-to also when it comes to virtual yoga. Before the pandemic I was practicing twice a week in a class at the gym.
I think about YWA a lot…. I just need to unroll the mat and do it!
That reminds me of my Meyers-Briggs personality analysis. I think it is INTJ. (Introvert, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging) I might be an F instead of a J. Feeling. One of the traits is that if an INTJ thinks through how to do something (which they always do before hand), they somehow think in their memory that they have already done it. HA!
On the Enneagram scale I am a five.
12/05: 210.2 / yoyo
12/06: 211
12/07: 210.8 / Yesterday, I not only rolled out my matt, but I did some yoga.
12/08: 211.4 / Trying something new today. Less salt and less sugar.
This morning I realized that it has been a while since I let myself get hungry. By that I mean “first world” hungry. For me, first world hunger is more of a (mental?) pang, not a pain. Grateful that I live in an area of the world where food is abundant. I take it for granted. I am always topping off the “tank.”
I support an organization that helps families in the Dominican Republic. Every year they offer supporters the “rice and beans challenge.” Only eat rice and beans for a week and donate the money you save on groceries to help feed children in the DR. So, what do I do? I eat my normal diet and donate money anyway. That is how blessed I am, and also how unwilling I am to experience any pain or inconvenience… I need to work on that.
Sorry, this is not a rant at you all. Just for myself. Thanks for letting me share.
12/09: 212.2 / The reason I post here is plain as day.

I originally started this challenge in December 2018 and lost 42.6 lbs in 13 months. I’m up 13 lbs since March 2020 and I really want to start changing things now instead of waiting to the end of the year.
33, F, 5’1”
SW: 146lbs
GW: 120 lbs
GW for this round: 144
Day/Weight/Comment
12/06 146, plan on doing a 45 minute peloton ride and will start decorating the Christmas tree today.
12/07 145.8, I hope to do a 45 min bike ride and 30 minute barre class today. I made a corn chowder for dinner yesterday and have leftovers so dinner is already made, which is always easier for staying on track.
12/08 145.7, I’m going to focus on really increasing my water intake today (only had 36 oz yesterday). Final day of corn chowder (one disadvantage and advantage of living by myself is that meals last 2-3 days, but also meals are usually ready just for reheating).
