    Goals for this round:

    12/13 - 136.8 - Feeling incredibly bloated and yucky today. Not a great start. I managed to get up and make myself do 45 minutes of Just Dance, which helped me feel better but obviously the scale is still high. I’m going to try and relax as much as possible for the rest of the day - as much as the kids let me!

    12/14 - 136.8 - Yeah, so much for resting yesterday. I was on my feet all day long chasing kids, doing curbside pickups or making my meal prep for the week. I’m happy to get back to the meal prep though - it makes it so much easier to stick to my daily calories when I’m not figuring out on the fly what to eat.

    12/15 - 135.6 - So excited this morning, and not even because of the scale (though I’m very happy to be under 136 again). Last night my husband surprised me with my Christmas present early - a Series 6 Apple Watch! I’d been using his old Series 1 after he got a new one last year; it worked fine and I really liked it, but I was really interested in the new Apple Fitness + that was coming out and you needed a Series 3 and up to use it. So Apple Fitness + launched yesterday... and he got me the new watch so I could get it! I tried two workouts this morning - a HIIT and a Strength training - and LOVED it. It was absolutely adorable with the kids trying to do it with me too. I’m not going to stop doing Ring Fit and Just Dance, but this is an awesome new option for me.

    12/16 - 134.4 - That’s a nice whoosh! I needed that this morning. It’s so much harder to resist all the cookies and candy when you aren’t seeing progress on the scale.

    12/17 - 134.6 - I always seem to have a tiny bump up after a big drop. I guess it’s just my body adjusting. I did a HIIT workout this morning and I definitely felt it! Hopefully mixing it up with new workouts and higher intensity will help me keep up a slow decrease until Christmas.

    12/18 - 134.0 - Woke up sore this morning- still feeling the HIIT workout, I guess. So I started this morning with yoga and core workouts, then switched to dancing for about 20 minutes of cardio. Picking up the big grocery order this afternoon - everything we need for cookie making, Christmas Eve, Christmas breakfast and dinner - oh, and food for the rest of the week!

    Goal: At least 15 minutes of yoga before bed each night

    12/13 - 15 minutes of yoga and mindful breathing before bed.

    12/14 - Skipped last night - too tired and fussy toddler again. Committing to doing it tonight.

    12/15 - Did 12 minutes of yoga and about 5 of deep breathing before bed. Days have still been challenging with my 5 year old, but I do think this is helping. It’s helping me sleep, at least, which also results in a calmer me during the day!

    12/16 - I had such a better day yesterday. Did 20 minutes of yoga before bed - I hope to find one of the Apple Fitness + yoga programs to be good for winding down for sleep.

    12/17 - Does deep breathing while rocking a crying toddler at 1 AM count?

    12/18 - Yoga stretches and relaxation moves last night

    Round 135 is back to reality. Day one weigh-in will be on my home scale and will be interesting to see. The round will end just days before X-mas. Goal for this is rather boring. Try to maintain the weight loss I had while in Florida while I figure out my colder weather exercise patterns and continue to adjust my daily calorie goal while nearing my ultimate goal weight.

    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, get below 135, lose 2 lb during December, walk/run to Sombrero B for sunrise.

    Round 133: -.8 11/12-12/2
    Round 134: -3.8 12/3-12/12

    Round 135 – starting weight 132.6 (florida scale)

    12/13 – 133.6 Welcome home to me with a 1 lb gain. I am curious about the significance. Is it the change of scale, real but travel/fluid retention related, or what? Still thrilled to be at this number. We’ll see what the next days tell me. Back to reality today, and scrambling to be ready for the holidays while doing COVID quarantine due to our travel.

    12/14 – 132.8 So the two scales must match pretty well, which is nice to know. Wrenched my back yesterday being stupid. Need to make sure it does not turn into an excuse to not keep good habits going.

    12/15 – 133.8 It’s going to be one of those rounds…… :( Went out of control late last night. Got into leftover Halloween candy that I had been controlling perfectly since my last binge mid October. Moving on. :)

    12/16 – 134.8 CICO are fine, so I know these gains are not fat but fluid. Even my 12/14 evening candy binge had kept me under that day’s TDEE. ATM I am blaming pain meds. Yesterday, I have resorted to full on meds, around the clock Naproxen sodium with extra strength Tylenol. That combo means I can almost bend over and managed to sleep a bit better last night. I can walk well (once I stand up), but 19 degrees is not making it inviting. So ticked with myself. Need to stay focused and need to remember that diligent tracking will allow me to parse the cause of a gain, and power through until all this sorts out. Giving it a couple more days before I bother the doctor.

    12/17 – 133.2 Pain meds are gone. Back still off, but could sleep last night. Fortunately, I can do my exercises (cycle, walking, planks) thought not attempting jogging or hills. Calories good. Yesterday’s exercise with good music seems to be helping get my head back in the game. Today is a significant snowstorm here. Already did 20 minutes on the bike before reporting in here. Looking to break up the day with other mini workouts. We’ll see if I have that to report tomorrow morning. :P

    12/18 – 133.4 Weather not great to get outside. Yesterday was two rounds of 20 min indoor bike. I did purchase fleece leggings (store pickup today) that will hopefully give me more options as winter proceeds. Calories are good enough. Scale not moving, but also have noticed that I am “bound up” which is uncommon for me especially since I have taken preventative meds/supplements ever since my hemorrhoidectomy (worst word to spell) two years ago. Just keep going forward and trust it will work out.

    12/19 – 133.2 Have to get more exercise. Yesterday’s temps now look warm. This morning is 9 degrees. Not sure my new fleece lined leggings can even handle that. Digestive system still not normal and I am super confused. The only remaining variable is a new food I have had the past 4 days – pumpkin soup. While I was travel quarantining, I ran out of my usual mixed veggie soup and I had the ingredients to make pumpkin soup do I made it. I know google does not agree, but in the feline IBD group I am in members use it in their cats to “firm them up”. I may experiment and delay by last bowl of this soup for a day or two to see if there is a cause and effect.
