Day/Weight/Comment
12/13 (Sunday) = 132.0
Oops. Wrong direction. Too much couch time & snacking yesterday. On-line Christmas shopping has its disadvantages-->no walking involved. Sighhhh...guess that’s why I’m here. : ) Exercise=7 single leg calf raises each side, hip flexor stretch x20 seconds each. (I know it's not much--trying to start a habit!)
12/14 (Monday) = 132.4
Well....harrumph. I think I did better today. I need to be more diligent tracking! I went over my allotted calories yesterday and to the shock of Nobody Anywhere, excess calories = excess pounds. Boo. Exercise today=calf raises, hip flexor stretch, clamshell, supine SLR, side SLR, heel walk. No run today--got side tracked filing away All The Papers. How does the paper pile get so ridiculously large?!!
12/15 = 131.2
Did better at logging in MFP. Exercise=run 1.5 miles. Cold outside (feels like 19F) maybe that will help burn some calories haha Need to cover my face better next time--frozen!
12/16 = 131.2
Holding steady still --I’ll take it at this time of year = ) Exercise = TBD

12/16 I got in my first walk of the round yesterday at 2.91 miles. Took Dad (89 years old) to a park for part of it, so pace was very slow for that section, but it was a joy to be able to do that with him. Definitely my favorite part of the day.
Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 56.24 WALK
Total Bike Miles toward Goal: 52.93 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. When I set those goals, I had no idea how much time I would spend sitting at my mother’s bedside, so I most likely won’t meet them now. It’ll be ok. I just need to work back up to getting in more movement every day now.11 -

12/13- 192.8
Took a break the past few months from tracking. Put on so much weight this year in addition to the 40 lb I already needed to loose. Big family event in 4 months and need to get serious now and drop at least 10 (if not more) by then.

@SModa61 - My husband and I have both suffered with sciatica. My husband went to physical therapy and they showed him an exercise that has really helped us both in the years since. I lay on my bed face down and do a push up, but leave my hips on the bed. It is simply a back arch. I do 10 reps, several times a day. If I'm at the office, I'll do it standing up against a wall. If your back problem is not caused by sciatica it probably won't work, but I know these exercises have really kept me from the Doctor for a number of years.7

@jaccimc63 Thanks for the suggestions. I will check those options out. In the past, I have got to PT for my back when it was a nerve issue in the spine (variant on sciatica?). I still remember much of those moves (in fact I think I have the instructional sheets still). This time, "back" AKA spine has no discomfort and no radiating issues into my legs. It is my right side and involving top of right hip. I think it is muscular in nature. Getting from sitting to standing, lifting/crossing right leg, bending over, all hurt on the right side. So ticked with myself. I was "proving a point" and I guess I proved that I was wrong. :'P I thought it would shake out in 24 hours, but today is day 3.6

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.Female, 5’3”, 60R134 20201212: 213.3 (-1.1)

3 weeks (~ 2 rounds of 10 days) till 2021 🎉
My goal for 2020 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹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)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
12/13 213.1 No exercise, 1492 cal, 47 net carbs, 1 wine. Pancakes for breakfast + chips & guac for lunch.
12/14 212.8 No exercise rainy weekend, plank, 2486 cal, 44 net carbs, 2 wine. Really rich dinner - Sheet Pan Mustard Chicken with Bacon, Mushrooms & Onions.
12/15 211.6 🎗Walked 3.1 miles, plank, 1142 cal, 78 net carbs, AF. Red beans and rice for dinner surely bump up the scale but it didn't. Maybe because of smaller portion or no cornbread? Low calories overall today and I guess carbs were not as out of control as I thought.
12/16 212.1 Walked 2.4 miles in misty rain, plank, 1269 cal, 85 net carbs, 3 wine. Pasta for dinner. WI at my obgyn’s yesterday fully clothed w/shoes in the afternoon was 212! When I last saw her in Feb 2019 I weighed 235.6 -

@UTMom81 My thoughts & prayers have been with you and your family. Losing a parent is never easy even when you believe they are ready.
I totally agree with your note to self! When my mom's husband passed away in November the food people brought was not necessarily the healthiest of choices ... then top the entrees off with all the desserts. I froze some of it in individual portions for my mom to be used later.8 -

Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205
Goal this round: Just average better than the last round. Frankly, I just want to get through the next month close to my current average. That is not surrender; that would be a victory for me.
December is a brutal month for eating temptation. The baked goods come charging out of nowhere as everyone shares their love for each other.

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.

Month/Day: Weight / Comment
12/13: 211.2
Today is a Christmas dinner with DS and his wife and our dear Grand Son DGS. We will be out of town on Christmas, thus the early celebration.
DW has planned a perfect comfort food feast, including roast beef and some kind of mashed potato dish with sour cream and butter in it. Beforehand we will (socially-distanced) deliver a portion of the food to my parents. We will trade them for some pumpkin pie and cranberry salad. They are 85, and we are just being careful. So sad for my mom. These family times are so important to her.
Expecting no loss for tomorrow’s weigh-in.
12/14: 212.0
All things considered I am fine with this. Yesterday was a great day for the family.
12/15: 212.2
OK, not fine with this. I was a good boy yesterday. Probably still paying for two days ago.
12/16: 211.4
Planning some holiday travel and DW is clearing out he refrigerator and pantry. Last night we left over mashed potatoes and boiled potatoes. I feel like Frodo, Merry and Pippen.

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.

12/13 118.0 Virtual sew day with the ladies
12/14 119.0 Sat in a chair all day yesterday but got SOOO much accomplished. Sewed blocks into rows for quilt top started 18 months ago, sewed together blocks for a wall hanging after figuring out how to compensate for one really wrong size block, crocheted some on a shawl started over a year ago. See a pattern here? I feel good about what I did and the soup I made myself was delish and within my macros. Did not drink enough water AND got up 3 times during the night because I was thirsty and needed to pee! Push water today!!!
12/15 117.5 Still didn’t drink more than 2.5 qts of water. I only count plain or sparkling water - not coffee or seltzer/vodka.
12/16 117.5 Awake at 4:40AM with headache, gave up and got up, it’s finally getting better. Darn arthritis!
MAYBE this round I’ll move.

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

12/16 - 148.4 - Ended up doing an accidental OMAD yesterday. Didn't get near enough water, either - estimating 48oz or so. Finally able to pass out last night and get good sleep. It was a super struggle to wake up this morning. Guess body and mind were trying to play catch up on several days of 3-4hr sleep. Attempting chicken crispitos today. Not sure how well it'll go, but I'm going to try it!

Previous Day's Comments12/13 - Not at all surprised with the bump up. Expected it to be more of an increase, honestly. Fasted 16hrs yesterday and 60oz water yesterday. Hoping to be AF today. It is a pretty chill day. I'll be content with a 12hr fast as I had a drink last night around a fire just talking - 12 hrs puts me at 230pm. Will see if I can push for longer but one day won't completely undo everything. Back on the wagon today with closing fasting window as early as I can after dinner.
12/14 - Back down and then some. Visually a little bloated, though. I am not at all sure what is going on with this sudden weight loss. Yesterday I was very likely below calories but I wasn't overly hungry, either. Otherwise, I've been expecting significant bumps up. Fasted 5 minutes shy of 12hrs, hence the bloat. Also only got about 3-3.5hrs of solid sleep last night. 96oz water. No alcohol. Finished dinner early so unless BF makes breakfast for me, I can easily reach 17-18hrs. I will try to track food to make sure I'm eating enough. I did this last week and had plenty enough then. Wondering if my body was adjusting to fasting again? I've never had a long adjustment (10 weeks!) like that, but my hormone imbalance issue a few weeks ago may have prolonged a lot of things. May have reset my body, too, now that I'm back on track hormonally.
12/15 - This is okay, I expected it. 18hr fast and only 70oz water yesterday. Dinner was late so I'm hoping to hit 17hrs today.

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!
12/10 -Work got stupid busy so couldn't squeeze in a practice yesterday. Once my 630am meeting is over, I'll hop on the living room TV for practice since BF won't be up until 8 at the very earliest (plus I have an 830 meeting). I'm not as groggy this morning so I think I can push through to hopefully wake me up fully.
12/11 -Right after my meeting I did a quick practice, but it was more of a morning wake up stretch to jolt some energy through you. It worked, I needed a good, over-the-top morning stretch
12/12 -Didn't get a chance to, had to run errands early before the weekend flood of tourists made it in.
12/13 -Got a quick ab yoga workout in and I'm still feeling it today. Whoooa! Need to find a nice simple practice since I'm running on 5-6hrs sleep right now (stupid insomnia) that won't leave me feeling too drained after
12/14 -I didn't get to finish my practice, but I got most of it done, so I'm calling it a success.
12/15 -I was so tired yesterday. Didn't get much sleep last night, either, but going to try for an easy stretch practice just to get some movement in
12/16 -Didn't get one in yesterday. By the time I had any kind of energy, work blew up and I used my energy working.8 -

Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110

Goal weight for this round: Seeing 114 again would be fantastic!
Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days12/13 115.2 I’ll happily take the one pound woosh because it’s been a while since I’ve seen a decent drop. This is making me feel like 114 could be in sight by the end of this round 😊.
Today has been a busy one in the kitchen. I started out by making whole grain apple carrot muffins, then I peeled and chopped up some sweet potatoes to throw in the freezer because some were starting to turn, and then I roasted a sugar pumpkin and 4 butternut squashes (for easier meal prep in the future). For the squash I cooked the bottom rounded part by just halving it and roasting it, then scooping out the flesh and pureeing it and for the easier to peel top half I peeled and diced it up and to put in the freezer for soups or roasting in the future. To top it off I also made some macadamia nut butter because it has been on my to-do list for several weeks now. The bag of macadamia nuts has been in my pantry for a long time and nut butter seemed like a healthier option than making cookies with them.
Tonight’s dinner will be pork chops with roasted brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and apple sauce.
12/14 115.6 NSV for the morning, even though the number is up, I woke up not feeling puffy in my face like I had been all last week. So hopefully this extra water I had on me is working its way out. Dinner tonight was kale massaged with a sesame dressing topped with roasted sweet potatoes, hakurei turnips, purple potatoes, beets, brussels sprouts, and chickpeas. Then, a cup of broth on the side.
12/15 Didn’t weigh yet, but woke up feeling good again puffiness wise 😊. Food was on point yesterday. My breakfast today will be one of the apple carrot muffins, an apple, egg, slice of cheese and toast. When I just had a muffin, macadamia nut butter and a large apple yesterday for breakfast, it didn’t really satisfy me. So I’m seeing if I notice a difference by switching up the composition a bit today. Dinner will be the Thai red curry with veggies and brown rice tonight.
12/16 115.0 Dinner last night really hit the spot and was super satisfying. I even had a little bit of leftovers in the pan that will be perfect for my husband to have with his lunch today. Today’s breakfast will be 2 slices of whole wheat toast with macadamia butter and a large apple with cinnamon on top. My snack will be one of those apple carrot muffins and some crunchy hakurei turnips and kohlrabi for some added volume but low calories. Dinner will be chuck roast cooked in the croc pot with white sweet potatoes, carrots, kohlrabi, maybe some kale, and a couple of white or purple potatoes. It’s supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow, so I figured a stew type dinner would be nice and comforting with the cold snowy weather.
We also decided to not eat at my in-laws home for Christmas this year. We will stop by and exchange some gifts and food outside but then head home and hangout virtually. Although we are quarantining, my husband has several appointments coming up before Christmas and we don’t want to put my mother in law at risk, especially after receiving the amazing news that they couldn’t detect any Lymphoma after only 3 treatments (she will continue the last three treatments to ensure every darn cancer cell is gone though)!!!!!!! Side note: Dana Farber is truly amazing with their level of care and treatments.
12/13 My husband and I went for a 4 mile walk in this crazy 60-degree weather in MA today. I also did a 30 minutes of yoga this morning to help my hip muscles.
12/14 I did a quick 15 minute yoga routine this morning.
12/15 I did a 45 minute yoga video focused on core work and plan on doing a 30 minute spin bike ride later today.
12/16 I got the 30 minutes of spin done last night. I started this morning with a 40 minute vinyasa flow and plan to do 20-30 minutes of spin at 3:30ish today.

I’m currently up 50 stupid pounds from Nov. 2018. That’s 2 pounds a month. I’m so disappointed in myself, though of course regaining lost weight is the norm. I don’t want to be normal. I don’t like to set weight goals because I can’t control my weight, only what I do about it, but I’m shifting gears and setting goals of 155 by 1-1-22, and 130 by 1-1-23. I’m ordering warmer clothes for winter walking/running and I’m determined to stick with it. It took me 3.5 years to lose 84 pounds, which is an overall average of 2# per month (there were faster periods and plateaus), but 2 per month seems realistic for me. I did it before, I can do it again. I just have to quit pretending otherwise.
12/14 - 182.8 - 1372
Yesterday was good. No nighttime noshing. Plenty of protein. A little exercise despite the cold wind. Happy Monday, all!
12/15 - 182 - 1368
Another good day yesterday. I did have a whole-grain English muffin with natural peanut butter last night because I was really hungry, but calories good anyway. Off to the post office with final “away” gifts — aaacccckkkkkk! Lines! Be safe, all.
12/16 - 182.6 - 1716
Oops. But my weekly average is below TDEE, so there’s that. Cold and snowy today, but my garden looks peaceful and lovely. I hope everyone in the path of this big storm is safe and warm.

Your absolutely right it’s not required, this your challenge, you make the challenge work for your needs. Fantastic honor of officiating at a wedding, please keep us updated!
I wasn't sure! THANK YOU for your support! This group has been such a godsend to me!

THANK YOU FOR YOU!7 -
@GrandmaJackie Also, dude...it really is a holy honor to officiate at a wedding...and a funeral (but that is a little different kinda celebration, of course, depending on the circumstance). This wedding is SUPER special because I held the young woman in my arms when she was just born! Still in the hospital! So I was thrilled to be asked. Last month I did a wedding for a couple, aged 84 and 86. Beautiful bride and her mask matched her gown. Holy moments indeed! xoxo6
