JGM10D Round 136

🎄🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄
🎄 DECEMBER 🎄
🎄🌟🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

December focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:

2020 Focus:

Stabilise weight under 150
Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy

Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:

2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
That's a WIN in my book!
2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
(One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

I'm putting in a grocery order for pick up and baking today to get ready for our family Christmas food exchange.

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.

12/23 166.8 ~ {Steps 9,822} ~ Watching my grandkids so my main goal today is to get a short walk in this afternoon when it warms up. Also make healthy food choices, I check back later this evening....I decided to make cookies for Santa with my 5 year old granddaughter. After that it went down hill but it was sooo worth it given the the scale spike.
12/24 167.7 ~ {Steps 12,248} ~ We went to my daughters on Christmas Eve, unfortunately I didn’t care about what I ate, 😈😢
12/25 168.7 ~ {Steps 3,587} ~ Nothing exciting unfortunately on Christmas we decide not to cook a whole turkey dinner so we had cheeseburger. No exercising, on the bright side I didn’t eat my emotions, yay for me.
12/26 168 {Steps 11,693} ~ Consistently is the key, late night snacks gets the best of me everytime.
12/27 167.9 {Steps 11,485} ~ Spent the day, just couldn’t get my mojo going, besides a morning walk nothing else. I did have a zoom meeting up group with my brother and 3 sisters plus a couple close friends.
12/28 167.7 {Steps 14,031} ~ Today was a much better day, I definitely need to keep a positive attitude. I don’t have control over other peoples actions, just mine, 👍👍
12/29167.7 {Steps 14,195} ~ Consistency is the key and mindful eating! Boredom and emotional eating will me one of my goals for 2021
12/30 166.6 {Steps 11,210} ~ Another successful days, I’m determined to end this year on a good note.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/23 177.4 I am not eating the way I should. I was in the groove before Mom’s unexpected illness and death, but now, I’ve not worked my way back to that state of mind yet. Lots of cooking and baking to do the next two days, so I’m just hoping not to blow too much of my progress. I’m doing an IF today, so I’m hoping that will help get me centered again.
12/24 178 UGH! I almost didn’t come on to post this today. But I am here despite my reluctance, so that’s an NSV, isn’t it? I had sushi and wonton soup for dinner and didn’t realize until afterwards just how much sodium there is in that!! If I drink lots of water today and be mindful about what I eat, perhaps I can send this the other direction tomorrow. That would be a small win, so let’s go for that! It's pouring rain today, so any exercise I get in will have to be indoors. You know what? The more I sit here and think about what to type, the madder I get at this number. Let's see where that takes me today!!!
12/25 177.6 is a small victory for me! Merry Christmas! I hope it signals a mindset shift. We had 3 inches of snow yesterday afternoon/evening which has given us a rare thing here in the South—a WHITE CHRISTMAS! It’s all still here this morning, and it is so very beautiful!
12/26 177.6 Wow! Wasn’t expecting that, even though I did try to keep things managed yesterday! I did enjoy breakfast and late lunch on Christmas. But that was the last meal, only had a couple nibbles late in the day, and drank lots of water. High yesterday was 25 degrees. Brrr. That’s COLD for here. All our snow is still hanging around. Not sure how my northern friends stand this stuff ALL winter. Blessings to you all!
12/27 179.0 Whoa! This is totally unexpected except for the fact that I could NOT get enough water yesterday and even asked my husband if he put a lot of salt on the steaks. My food choices were definitely not this bad yesterday. I supposed it could be some of the Christmas stuff just now showing up, but I hope it’s water. I leave today to go back to my Dad’s to spend the week.
12/28 No scales…totally forgot to grab my scales before I left home. Scrounged around here at Dad’s house and found an old scale, but I have to buy one of those little round, flat batteries for it today.
12/29 177.8 on Dad’s scale. That’s a little better at least!
12/30 177.4 back to the first day of the round. Whew! I’m doing better with my eating, but here at Dad’s house there are still small indulgences. I’m working to keep them controlled though and working them into my calorie allotment.
12/31 177.6 I’m ok with this, actually wouldn’t have been surprised if it were more. Had a milkshake with Dad from Mom and Dad’s favorite restaurant yesterday in her honor. It was one of their simple pleasures, so we just did it. I’m going back home today and back to work on Monday, so I’ll hopefully be able to get back in the groove in the next couple days. No plans for NYE, so there won’t be any indulgences for that.

12/23 6-mile hike in the Smokies—Geez that felt SO good!!! Those mountains are good for my soul!
12/24 1.3-mile walk with pup and stroller yesterday afternoon.

12/26 10.5-mile exercise bike ride
12/27 10.7-mile exercise bike ride; will take a quick ride before I get ready this morning so I can meet the bike goal I set for the challenge.
12/28 5-mile exercise bike ride to MEET MY BIKING GOAL for the challenge! Also did 2.82 mile walk after driving to NC
12/29 4.1-mile walk which has me sore this morning.
12/30 2.6-mile walk
12/31 2-mile walk

12/23- 122.4 My husband and I were just talking about how great dinner was last night- all 4 of us in kitchen, experimenting and cooking together. No way on earth know how to track that dinner, but the love and and quality time will be remembered forever. Foresee this as the challenge these next 10 days, will need to find a balance.
12/24- 123.4 I know this is bloat but it still just plays with your mind. My kids made dinner last night, homemade pizza, delicious. And as reported last round ,my cute little neighbor has started a trend in my cul-de-sac- what started as one devious child dropping off cookies has metastasized into everyone now dropping off goodies...So what is a neighbor to do... We made cookies last night to distribute today. Was so proud of myself I think I only had 1 molasses cookie and no chocolate chip- I really feel I deserve to be weighing less as proof of my restraint, but alas.

12/27-123.0 Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I ate wonderful food, missed my extended family and enjoyed my immediate family. Hope I have not done to much damage. I received a ham when I volunteered at Salvation Army, opened it up and ground half to make a hash, it was exceptionally salty to taste, and I didn't add any salt. Still delicious served with an egg and leftover brussel sprouts but am exceptionally thirsty and wondering if I am bloated or becoming bloated...Will be interesting to figure this out.
12/28- 121.0 Well did not see this coming- Yeah! Honestly I just jumped off the scale, scared it could be wrong and will not weigh again until tomorrow, I am running with this.We did run out of cookies and treats Saturday night, when I may have finished the last cookie so just removing that temptation could have made the difference.
12/29- 122- Good news accidentally erased initial comment-better left unsaid. Mmmm, scale fluctuations flummoxed me! Despite eating a horrible tasting but healthy dinner last night (tried new recipe from a former favorite and formerly trusted cookbook). Just eating that dinner should require a fraction lower!
12/30- 121.8- Well I said my goal was 121. anything and looks like I may be able to keep that though ordering my husband and my favorite dinner to eat NYE- tons of sodium so 1/1 could be bad or I start the next round with a 3 + bloat for 3-4 days. Bison Meatloaf is worth it though.
12/31-119.8 Wow- did not see that coming!...I know CICO but this menopause thing is still really screwing with me.

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.

SModa61 · December 2020

Round 136 has been so odd for me. On the 29th, I figured out that I never posted that morning, when I thought that I had. Today, I realized my daily entries were one day off. When I studied it further, I discovered I never posted or even wrote an entry for Dec 28th. It's like a day disappeared from my life. I have weighed every single day, so there should have been an entry. My only explanation is a time warp..... :P

SModa61 · December 2020

Round 136 is going to be a challenge. Short cold days, combined with lots of food opportunities – X-mas day, eve, leftovers as well as New Year’s eve. Plus this round ends on New Year’s day, so little chance to “undo the damage”. So, goals for this round are to just purely do my best. Try to maintain my weight, be mindful in my eating (yes, I may be over on calories but by choice), and try to include more use of my elliptical for my exercise. It is a significantly harder workout than my walks, and keeps me off the icy, snowy roads.

Previous Goals

- Get under 150
- Get under 145 by my birthday (10/26)
- Get to pre-COVID weight from Feb 2020, 142.4

- Not gain over Thanksgiving,
- Get below 135
- Lose min 2 lb during December
- Walk/run to Sombrero B for sunrise photo
- Maintain losses of time in Florida

Round 136 – starting weight 132.0

12/23 – 132.8 Bad behavior (food) last night. Was dealing with late night wrapping and I got into “things”. All tracked. Not awful, and calories do not account for the uptick so I am assuming fluids from excess carbs and/or sodium. It’s a new day, today!

12/24 – 133.2 From a calorie perspective, this number is impossible as yesterday’s deficit was spot on. BUT yesterday I did break down and eat that last container of homemade pumpkin soup that, during last round, I wondered if it was not causing havoc with the scale. Delicious soup, just might not want to eat at the end of any round. :P Off to cooking and cleaning all day, delivery holiday food to my sheltering parents, and then hopefully have time for a quiet evening in front of the fire with hubby.

12/25 – 133.6 Continues to not reflect calories, but yesterday, with all the cooking, my back was already aching, then I delivered holiday food to my sheltering parents (Three types of stuffed shells with bechamel and sugo simplice) and found that they needed more shoveling done. Blasted it out, but could feel it in my back. Anyhow, advil and Tylenol may be to blame for the uptick. Going to just trust the process and my diary numbers and not worry about it.

Our quarantining guests (son, daughter, sil and grandson) are coming at 9:30. Jumped on the bike for a quick 25 minutes at 6 am, checking in with you all, and now heading to the shower.

Have a wonderful day, all! And Merry Christmas to those celebrating this holiday today!

12/26 – 133.8 Not bad since yesterday was the most calories I have consumed in a single day since September 14th, though the calorie overage would not be enough to even create a single real pound of fat. Today, is back to tracking and keeping under my target. Going to also gift myself to some outdoor walking time that has not been possible these past few days, for various reasons. Fully expect the scale to adjust to reality over the next few days.

12/27 – 133.4 (halfway through the challenge) Thought I would be seeing a better drop, given that some the of gains earlier in the round made no sense from a calorie point of view. Yesterday, I got outside again for the first time this round. It felt good. Interestingly, I can feel some soreness in those muscles today which surprises me because I thought may walking had become “routine” to me body. Good news is that walking is still challenging it.

12/28 – somehow, I never reported in on this day, and only noticed this on the 31st. It’s like I lost a day of my life…….

12/29 – 133.8 This is a crazy round. Yesterday, I did not deserve a loss and today, I did not deserve a gain. Just going to try and hang on for this round and for the new year. My January plan is to try and get to my goal number over the course of the month. Not unreasonable for a month’s time, I just already know that I have a lot of complications being thrown at me.

12/30 – 132.6 Interesting. I could feel the difference before stepping on the scale. So right now, I am up ½ lb for the round (Yay! For only ½ lb at this point). Before writing here though, I did do a math experiment and I compared my total calories since the beginning of the round to my Apple watch calculated TDEE. That calculation states I should have had a loss of ½ a lb during this round so far. Curious how the numbers will compare on the final day. I will check the math again then.

12/31 - 132.2 Very curious morning. So last night, DH and I had Chinese food, and I anticipated a sodium uptick. I did weigh out my Kung Pao Chicken (10 oz) and had one egg roll with hot mustard. No damage today and it was delicious! For the win. Other observation this morning it that my “automatic” walking speed is a little over 4 mph. At this point I can do that for long speed stretches and only stop due to time constraints or boredom. Yesterday, I tried pushing myself, like I had to do early in October in order to get back to my old 4 mph. Yesterday, I did over 5 miles at 4.44 mph, and used a song that I previously had to skip because the BPM was too fast for my legs. Shockingly, the song was actually fine, and I even repeated it 5 times, scattered throughout my walk to reset my pace when it slowed. Good walk, BUT this morning, I am feeling it in my glutes and thighs, which is a good thing. That means muscles are getting challenged.

12/31 - 146.8 - Really shocked, heavy dinner last night and I went back for seconds. But felt full/satiated and not stuffed after the 2nd plate so my body needed the extra. Went for my grocery haul before New Year's hours and the "winter storm" hitting today. Store was an absolute madhouse and took twice as long for me to get my list and get out. Pushed me to 19.5hr fast, though. Only got 64oz but did NOT want to have to get up in the middle of the night as it may be my last chance to sleep in for 20 days and get good rest (with the sound of nature's symphony, too!) Had beautiful thunderstorms last night and today is supposed to be rain turning into snow later. Then "suddenly ending for very dry sunny conditions for New Years Day" 2020's last hurrah, I guess? That or the weather people writing these are having fun with it.

Previous Day's Comments

12/23 - Surprised I'm not up! Homemade burgers last night and I piled mine HIGH. Couldn't finish it and I was absolutely stuffed. Feeling a bit bloated, too. Tonight is pizza since we are driving out of town to go drive through the light festival. I'll have to watch what I have for lunch and not go overboard with pizza or I'll be seeing the 150s again, no doubt. Fasted 16hrs yesterday. Dinner was late and BF wanted to make french toast for all of us for breakfast. Hopefully its more of a Brunch than breakfast - late dinner pushes my 16hrs to noon today...
12/24 - Bouncy bouncy but glad its bouncing down. Only fasted just shy of 14hrs yesterday (breakfast with kiddos). Today should be better. Pizza was only 1 slice and we finished early. No snacking despite kids snacking all night in front of me. A win! Barely made 75oz water, but I did! Making banana nut bread by request of kids right now. Was requested for me to make my homemade bread for Christmas dinner tonight so I have the dough cooling from the fridge while banana nut bread bakes. 2 loaves of regular, 1 of gluten free for the families that requested. It makes me happy that my bread attempts are so well liked. I love to bake and I love to gift others with my creations so its such a win-win for me. Especially around Christmas - its a gift to me to have been asked to make it! (in love languages, I'm a words of affirmation and this definitely applies and fills my heart).
12/25 - Merry Christmas! That's a late Christmas dinner and needed more water. All good.
12/26 - Christmas lunch/dinner (Linner?) Plus, not enough water again, though better than the day before. Really need to up that. Kids already on the way to their mom's. So quiet in this house now. Need to get my yoga in before I get too distracted and end up not doing it.
12/27 - Um..... what? Maybe delayed bloating? Don't feel/look particularly bloated. Maybe its water weight from finally getting my intake back to 75oz? Fasted 18hrs yesterday. Should easily hit 16hrs, hoping to push it to lunch for 18+, especially with this increase.
12/28 - I had a severe migraine yesterday that also ended with sharp pain through my ear. Took an accidental nap when I curled on the couch with a hot corn sack on my ear. Definitely didn't get water and calories in due to that. Water was close, though, as I drank a ton (including having to get out of bed twice to pee!) in the evening. I estimate just barely shy of 64oz. Better now, though still being cautious in case its the start of an ear infection. Fasted 18 hrs. Dinner was on the earlier side so another opportunity for 16+hr fast today. Also TMI should be showing up any day. Wondering if yesterday's weight was a little hormone fluctuation due to that... I'm feeling/looking a bit bloated today and I definitely believe hormones are the cause. No problem, that's normal and will be over by the end of the week (:
12/29 - Expected from heavy dinner. Perfectly okay with it. We got to pick up the deer we shot and had processed at a new place yesterday. Decided to try their sausage and it was goooooood. Heavy, though. Hit a mile-thick cement wall of sleepiness yesterday at about 2pm and never could shake it. Went to bed at 840. Fitbit says I finally fell asleep at 915 or so and I don't remember BF coming to bed. I was OUT. Woke up at 130am and had to toss and turn to get comfy then was out again. Took nearly a minute of my alarm going off for me to realize it was time to wake up! Normally I'm already awake or in light enough sleep it'll shock me awake immediately. Guess I really needed it. Still have a bit of lingering headache from Sunday when I had the migraine. Didn't go past a small ache yesterday so hoping same for today. Ear is tender so makes me wonder if I have the most minor ear infection causing it. I'll keep taking precautions and doing what I need to keep things healthy.
12/30 - Ended up eating dinner out with a beer so I'm surprised to be down as much as I am. Though I stopped when full, not stuffed, and "brunch" was quite filling but also light. Managed 96oz water. Stayed up late watching Bohemian Rhapsody with BF and since I hadn't seen Rocketman, either, we watched that right after. Definitely calling for a nap today after that. So worth it. Making dinner on Thursday and Friday since everyone I know is doing this conference thing starting at midnight NYE. Also found a little local place that does pedicures/nails by appointment through COVID. Thinking of making an appointment on Saturday or Sunday. My poor feet are dry and cracking, as they do every winter. My normal lotioning routine just doesn't cut it! Corn Huskers lotion, working hands, etc. Nothing seems to help. But somehow the nice soak with a scrub does the trick. Hopefully this place has something similar to what I have done in the past that seems to help. My entire family has foot issues (grandma just had her 6th foot surgery on Dec 3. No thank you!) so I think its best I take care of myself now before things get out of hand. When we move into a larger house/have more space/storage, I want to get my own massaging foot soaker so I can do pedicures myself at home instead of paying. Alas, there is absolutely no space for one of those in my life right now. At least there's a place open and following COVID protocol to help a girl out. Plus there's something nice about starting the year off with a little relaxing self care. Hopefully it'll set the pace for the rest of 2021
12/31

Time to really dig deep and set my goal.... I've got a few things in mind, but I want something I know is attainable given my January circumstances. Will narrow it down and decide for tomorrow.
