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!

Ikeeptrying2 · December 2020

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.
12/07 177.6 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.

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.

🔹Drink more water (target min 80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)

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.

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 Comments

12/03 - 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!

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!

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.

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).
