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.
12/9-163-If I eat a bunch of bread and junk over the weekend, it takes me until Wednesday to get back to where I was Saturday morning. It’s just not worth it.

@UTMom81 - I am loving the challenge-it has really got me moving, when normally, I would just throw in the towel after Thanksgiving and just keep eating what ever I wanted and not exercising because it’s cold. This is fun!!!!9 -

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.

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 🫐🍌🥒🍎🧅🍆
12/07 ~ 167.5 ~ {Steps 10,431} ~ Today we decided to take a day drive, just to get a different out of dodge, lol. It helped tremendously, finding a nice trail to get a walk with my husband.
12/08 167.5 ~ {Steps 16,653} ~ A good all around day...

12/7: 174.0 Been off MFP for the last few days. Whacked my head pretty hard putting groceries in my car and been avoiding screens & resting as much as possible. Starting to feel a little better.
12/8: 173.8 Feeling much better today. It's been a week since my last run, really feeling the urge to get out today for a least a short one and see how I feel. I recently bought a duo instapot/air fryer online for my DH as one of his Christmas gifts and it shipped in a box that showed what it was & of course he was home when it arrived. So since the surprise was ruined, we went ahead and opened it, going to try it out tonight, thinking about doing "fried" chicken wings. Anyone have any good cookbook recommendations for air fryers or instapots?
12/9: 173.6 Decided to give it another day to rest yesterday, so planning a run for my lunch hour today. Ate a little later last night so IF window might be a little less than 16 hours. So much to do, will definitely be a busy one!

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.
12/7 - 182
Monday, Monday...and cold! I guess vacuuming and scrubbing the tub will be my exercise.🧽🪣 And knitting counts, yes? I’m trying to finish a scarf for a friend. Have a love day!
12/8 - 182
Ha ha! I just noticed my typo yesterday — I meant lovely, but a love day sounds good, too. I seem to be back to my body’s favorite weight — she really loves to hang out here. Have a lovely love day!
12/9 - 184.6
Aaack. I went on a carb fest last night. DH made mac & cheese for dinner, which should have been ok if I’d stopped there, but (and I should know this) all those carbs made me want more, and boy howdy, I found ‘em. Obviously I didn’t gain 2.6 pounds of fat overnight, so a lot of this is water and, well, food, but still... why do I do this? I’d like to blame COVID brain, but really? Anyway, I don’t need hugs, just a place to ‘fess up. Now to straighten my self out. Again. One good thing about a restricted holiday season — I’ve decided the only baking I’ll do for Christmas will be a mince pie, because we both love them and it’s the only time of year to have one.

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.
12/9 – 134.0 (florida scale) Encountered same ladies and joined them after 2+ miles and resulted in my walking 6.96 miles. Spot on with my food diary but I think I am technically a little low because of all the exercise calories that I am not eating back. But this will be ending soon, as I will be heading home soon and back to cold and walking alone so my exercise minutes/calories will be dropping shortly. Only good aspects to heading back north is I will have access to indoor equipment for those days that outside makes no sense and hopefully I will have time to be more interactive here again in the group. I am still here!!! :P

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.
12/09: 193.7 Don't know what I am going to do about my 3 year olds. Everyone says it will get better but right now it is difficult.

12/9 206.6 still losing. Keeping my calories upped a little bit as I’m seeing results with more intake. Running a 500 cal deficit but not 750-1000 like I was before. Feels better actually. Now that I’ve given up the goal of being under 200 by the end of the year and I’m just focusing on continuing to lose comfortably, I feel better.

@lilylady3k I started planking October 1st. I am 59 years old for comparison, when you reference "getting old". Right now, I can do a single forearm plank for 3 minutes. Oct 1, it was probably 30 seconds. What I began doing along the way that I call "mixed planks" is I start in forearm position but without dropping I change to another plank position (typically the two side positions) and that keeping you planking but gives your muscles a change that IMO helps me keep going. As of the past two nights, I can do single "mixed plank" for 5 min without issue. Need to really test how much further I can do sometime. BTW I am seeing clear difference in my waist and I am doing no other ab exercises, though each day I vow to ad some others.7

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.

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. 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 my carry their own snacks 😉). Move goal on my Apple Watch complete before lunch!
12/9 - 135.6 - The Fitness app on my watch has been saying my average TDEE is about 2400 calories a day. That seemed really high to me, but I did the math last night. If I’m eating around 1600 a day (which is what I aim for but I’m not super precise) and burning 2400, that would put me at a loss of 1.6 lbs a week - and HappyScale has my rate at 1.5. Nice to know the numbers really do work out! 😂

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
12/9 - I’m glad I changed my goal, because this is actually proving to be a challenge for me! You wouldn’t think taking 15 minutes for myself to do yoga each night would be hard, but it’s proving to be rather difficult. I did it last night, but nearly skipped it. Will make sure to get it in tonight as well.

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.
12/9: 216.8 (-0.6)/28.2 (-0.2). Better. Had too much avocado yesterday, so I was over in calories, but I was pretty good overall.

@kmort009Round 134
12/9 - 135.6 - The Fitness app on my watch has been saying my average TDEE is about 2400 calories a day. That seemed really high to me, but I did the math last night. If I’m eating around 1600 a day (which is what I aim for but I’m not super precise) and burning 2400, that would put me at a loss of 1.6 lbs a week - and HappyScale has my rate at 1.5. Nice to know the numbers really do work out! 😂
I use my apple watch my exercise daily. Where might I go to see my TDEE and/or is there an app that I need to purchase/download?2 -

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 …..204.0 ….. Someone brought over my trigger food – Donuts. So it’s my fault because I (over) ate them. Gotta get this train back on it’s tracks. I'm still down 2.8 lbs for this round so I am going to hang onto my progress and not let go!
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!
Dec 08 – Danced about 8 minutes. Better than nothing I suppose.

12/08 - 137.5 lbs. (Here!)
12/09 - 136 lbs. (And here!)
12/10 - 135.5 lbs. (Last night was a BIG VICTORY for me. When I returned home from work the lovely woman who helps me tidy up had left me A DOZEN SUGAR COOKIES! They smelled so good. They looked delicious and I know they were...because she baked for my mom before and my mom just went on and on about how amazing she is! And I LOVE sugar cookies. But I know I can’t have just one. I would have eaten them all. And then I would have gone to the store and eaten more and more. It would have been a binge. So it was late (I am so blessed to have a job and I work pretty much 7:30am-7:00pm, six days a week, about 5 hours on the seventh day) and I just thought...I can’t throw these away...but can I keep them here without eating them. AND I DID! I can’t believe it! They were still there in the morning. EVERY ONE and I gave them to my partner’s parents on the way to work and they were THRILLED. I am so grateful to my dear friend who baked them and gave them to me. She gave me the gift of confidence that- at least for last night- I didn’t binge, even though they were there. Right there. And then she allowed me to give her delicious cookies to two people who really could enjoy them in a sensible way. So that’s me today. Grateful.)

I use my apple watch my exercise daily. Where might I go to see my TDEE and/or is there an app that I need to purchase/download?
@SModa61 - No purchase needed! It’s the Apple Fitness app - the one with the three rings. I’m sure you can download it if you don’t already have it on your phone.
If you open the app, you should see the main summary page with the day’s rings and “Activity” as the first section. Tap on the rings and it brings you to the more detailed page for the rings. On that page, under the “Move” section is a bar chart showing how many calories you’ve burned toward your ring over the day - and right below that on the left side in red letters is “Total.” That’s your TDEE for the day up to now. If you tap on the calendar icon at the very top of the screen you can look back at previous days which will give you the best idea of your average TDEE. Sorry, I’d include pictures but I have no idea how to do that.
The TDEE will change from day to day, of course - mine ranges from 2200 to 2600 but it’s mostly right around 2400. I can’t vouch for the accuracy, but clearly for me it seems to be pretty close!

29 yo female
5’2” Small frame according to my wrist circumference
SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110 but also happy with where I’m at right now.
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113-> 113.8 ->114.6 -> 113.6 -> 115.8
Goal weight for this round: Maintaining around 113 or dropping to 112 would be nice.
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days12/3 116.0 Did not post.12/9 115.8 Thanksgiving week has definitely stuck around on me, but maybe I dropped by Friday and it just blipped up from my weekend away. Oh well, I know what needs to be done and now I just have to do it. Food was pretty solid yesterday. Dinner last night was a pureed carrot ginger soup that I added broccoli rabe and potatoes to after I pureed the base. I also made a cashew cream sauce to go with it, which was so good! Today, I had the soup and grilled cheese for breakfast with some apple slices. Tonight’s dinner will be orange chicken and lots of veggies for me! Have a good night!
12/4 Did not weigh yet. My husband has his last final of OT grad school this morning, so I don’t want to bother him while he’s trying to fall back to sleep on the couch (I work from home in our bedroom). I’m so excited for him and we are going to North Conway, NH this weekend to celebrate him finishing the school part (he still has to work full time for free from January through June) and also celebrate my 30th birthday a bit more because we couldn’t go out anywhere for it last month. We’ll just hangout in the room and get take-out from a restaurant we love but it’ll be fun because the rooms are awesome and each one has a different theme.

12/4 Did a 30 minute yoga session from the Playbook app. I plan on working in a spin bike session today too at some point. I gave my body a break yesterday from the bike and I think it really helped. I’m loving the yoga because it makes me more aware of how not flexible I am. I know by doing it daily, it will help improve my flexibility and help strengthen my body in ways I hadn’t been working on with just the spin bike. We’re not leaving for NH until tomorrow late morning, so I’ll be able to work a spin bike workout into my Saturday too!

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.

HAPPY HUMP DAY! Rough one here, but it's time to chill!
M, 54.
12/2017 highest ever 221#
01/2020 pre-'work from home' 198#
09/2020 work from home has been tough 209#
Ultimate Goal: 185#
Goal for this round: Break 200#
12/03 SW: 202/ No exercise today; not enough water; too many nuts as a late night snack
12/04: 203/ The result of last night's salty fatty snacks. Better tracking and water today. 30min circuit training.
12/05: 201/ Off to a good start... Fewer carbs, more water. Power yoga (my edited version of P90X Yoga X)
12/06: 202 / Boo! Two steps forward, one back. Too much sodium in the taco seasoning last night, maybe. Today's workout: kickboxing, then taking the dogs to the park. Fish stew for dinner.
12/07:201.5/ Didn't get in the kickboxing yesterday; had a very light jog instead. Glad the scale moved in the right direction, though not far enough.
12/08: 201.5 / Nothing gained, nothing lost. Boo, yet... okay.
12/09: 201 / Right direction. Will this be a floor? Or a barrier I finally break through? TBD...

I use my apple watch my exercise daily. Where might I go to see my TDEE and/or is there an app that I need to purchase/download?
@SModa61 - No purchase needed! It’s the Apple Fitness app - the one with the three rings. I’m sure you can download it if you don’t already have it on your phone.
If you open the app, you should see the main summary page with the day’s rings and “Activity” as the first section. Tap on the rings and it brings you to the more detailed page for the rings. On that page, under the “Move” section is a bar chart showing how many calories you’ve burned toward your ring over the day - and right below that on the left side in red letters is “Total.” That’s your TDEE for the day up to now. If you tap on the calendar icon at the very top of the screen you can look back at previous days which will give you the best idea of your average TDEE. Sorry, I’d include pictures but I have no idea how to do that.
The TDEE will change from day to day, of course - mine ranges from 2200 to 2600 but it’s mostly right around 2400. I can’t vouch for the accuracy, but clearly for me it seems to be pretty close!
@kmort009 Thank you so so much. I use that app for all my exercise. I have never seen those additional features. I will definitely be studying that. My range is solidly lower than yours, but I know there are many factors going into those numbers. Thanks again, I'll be playing with the data for sure!
