Goals for this round:
- Refocus on weight loss after being at maintenance over Christmas and New Year’s
- Begin 30-day plank challenge
- Decide on personal and health goals for 2021

01/02 - 134.6 - Ok, there’s the impact of New Year’s Eve/Day. It’s ok - some of it is water, and and for anything that isn’t - I have my meal plan for the week, lots of fun new workouts to do, a plank challenge for the month and a goal weight to hit by April! I’m excited for 2021!

01/03 - 134.6 - Did a boxing workout this morning that really got me sweating! Today is meal prep day - making egg muffins, overnight oats, lunch for the week and granola bars for snacks. The scale will go back down soon - just need to be patient.

01/04 - 133.4 - Now it really is back to normal life - DH is back to work and we’re starting up homeschool again for my daughter. It’s a cold, grey day here, which doesn’t bother me too much but does make it hard to entertain two kids when they don’t want to get dressed and go play in the rain. I’ve already entered all my pre-planned meals and snacks for today into MFP - hopefully that will help me stick to them!

I’ve been off track for awhile . I lost 30 lbs last year but could have done better.
This year has been stressful. I’m an Icu nurse and covid has taken its toll on me, got a new hip in May and covid hit me physically dec 12. I was off work 3.5 weeks due to covid causing pneumonia. I’m ready to get healthy , covid is not going anywhere so I need to get healthy and take care of myself. It may be slow due to still recovering but plan on slowly getting back into exercise.
Goals: Weigh daily
Track everything
Drink water
Exercise on days off

1/4 – 131.8 The bounce. I don’t know if it is because I am nearing my stated goal, but I am unfortunately starting to battle the drive towards unplanned eating. During my earlier rounds, I was feeling empowered which kept everything going, and that is waning. (maybe this is also due to the impact of the holidays, not sure) This concerns me and it concerns me in particular once getting to maintenance. Anyone else deal with this and have insights? On another note – today is day one as babysitter!!!!

I felt that when I was at 112/113 and I was getting excited for maintenance but found myself drifting into the thought process of "It's my birthday! It's Thanksgiving!" and saying "It's just a meal or weekend and I can't do too much damage". Now I'm 7/8ish pounds from goal versus only 2 or 3. I guess just try to remind yourself that each meal really does matter when it becomes more than one extravagant meal every once in a while. I don't know if any of that helps, but just remember that it feels really annoying when you know you could have prevented things from going up but didn't.

Yep. This exactly. I'm at 21 BMI right now. A good healthy weight, but I wanted to be even leaner and that's HARD. Trying to maintain about 9 down from where I am currently and I have to be really, super mindful. That's why I still track here like many, to stay accountable

It really is! It's nice to know someone else understands my struggle lol! I definitely noticed the shift when I was more sporadic with posting in here and it slowly crept up then down, then up. It's really nice to just have a place to write a blurb and check-in with people going through their own health journey. But we can get to where we want to be! It will just take some patience... which is hard.

01/04 …..207.4 ….. Slightly up due to a very very late night dinner. Travel plans were cancelled at the very last minute and the day was haywire. However, I managed to get my 10,000 + steps in, though it wasn’t easy.

Happy New Year, I wish you all a blessed, healthy and safe new year. I hope to meet my goal this month or next. I know as you get closer it gets slower so I am trying to allow myself time. Last year I also met my goal and then stupidly thought I was done, then surprise to no-one but me I gained almost all the weight back. As a New Years resolution I am going to try to continue tracking and logging after I meet my goal, and then figure out how to do maintenance.


Goals
- Log Log Log, this is the secret to success for me.
- Apple Watch-Triple Move and Exercise Ring, Minimum 14 hours Stand
- CICO- Eat at MFP Calorie allowance including exercise

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02- 122- I know this is bloat from NYE, I always bloat 2 days after and this will hopefully dissolve itself around Monday- so I write this down trying to convince my head I did not gain 3 pounds. I am still in holiday mode here, husband off, kids both home, most picturesque snow scape outside window, I am even attending a wedding shower today. I know I should be starting my goals now, but I really think I am not going to get my act together until Monday.
01/03-123
01/04-121.4 Well It is now Monday and time to start getting my act together- Saturday we had the most beautiful ice and snow covering I have ever seen! It was a winter fairyland outside that luckily only interfered with my phone and internet until this morning but for the other half of town they lost electricity, I pray is working for them now. I am slowly losing my bloat and probably tomorrow have a more accurate starting round weight.
01/05-121.8 Thought I would experiment and eat all my exercise calories yesterday (by finishing all the Christmas cookies- only some dough in freezer left now ). That rationalization sounded smart yesterday, not so much now

Ready to do and be better.
First night when crashed in front of tv I resisted the urge to snack. Need to stop eating all the time! I have 4 months before a big family event and I want to look and feel better.

Day/Weight/Comment

01/02 - 145 - Some life changing events happened earlier this week. My husband had surgery Monday which resulted in a diagnosis of bladder cancer. We indulged in a little comfort food this week which was OK. We find out Tuesday the prognosis along with the treatment plan. I urged him to consider retiring so he can focus on his health and he may do that. My 94 year old Mother in law was hospitalized on Tuesday with Covid 19 and a serious UTI. She has been improving with antibiotics and Remdesivir, but she gave it to my 71 year old brother in law and his wife while they were caring for her. Hopefully, they won't have to be hospitalized.

In addition to the medical issues, I'm an accountant for a CPA firm and tax season starts next week. I typically work 60 to 80 hours a week until April 15th. I'm going to have to have a conference with the partners to balance my husband's illness with the work expectations. I'm expecting them to allow me to work from home as much as needed.

All that being said, I am going to have to stay healthy to get through these times. Part of that is staying at a reasonable weight and keeping plenty of healthy food choices in the house. At my previous weight of 186, my blood pressure and cholesterol were too high and my energy was very low, which my weight loss has reversed. I'm also very glad that my husband has maintained a healthy weight and continued to exercise up until the bladder issues started. He is in great shape to fight his battle.

01/03 - 144 - Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes. It really means a lot to me. So far my in laws are managing their symptoms.
01/04 - 143.5 - First day back in the office since 12/22. Someone accidently left the steam heat on in our building over the New Year holiday and it is 92F in my office. It is 35F outside. Unfortunately, none of our floor to ceiling windows open. I'll be drinking plenty of water today and probably sweating off a few pounds.

2021 is here! This will be an interesting round. Driving husband to the airport today (1/1/21). He is traveling to check in on his mom, and then also check-in on our never-ending condo repairs (should have been done in October). It’s a little nerve racking to have him traveling, and traveling alone during these times, but it is necessary. We have also decided that when we head down together in February, we will drive. And not fly. Anyhow…. Hubby is away for this whole round. I would traditionally eat ice cream and Chinese food the whole time he is gone, so, to avoid this, I really need to focus on my pre-planning and tracking and not bringing temptations into the house. This would also normally be a nice quite time for me, but instead, I am filling in as daycare for my almost 1 year old grandson. Lunch will be outside my home and I will be getting home just in time to scramble for dinner. Planning and preparing for each day is going to be key if I am going to continue to fit in daily exercise and keeping my daily calories under goal. I know I can do this, it will just take some focus.

Goals for round 137, adapt to the dynamics of this round, and to try and lose 1 more lb. I would like to hit my stated goal of 129 by the end of January.

Round 137 – starting weight 132.0

1/2 – 133.0 It’s ok. IMM I am blaming sodium. It should shake out.

1/3 – 131.4 Nice number and unexpected. It is different addressing dinners for one. When not responsible for feeding anyone else, my past habit would be to not cook and eat like I mentioned in my intro paragraph. This morning I have pre-tracked both today (home)and tomorrow (first babysitting day), to keep focused on good habits and make sure that I have what I need available to me.

1/4 – 131.8 The bounce. I don’t know if it is because I am nearing my stated goal, but I am unfortunately starting to battle the drive towards unplanned eating. During my earlier rounds, I was feeling empowered which kept everything going, and that is waning. (maybe this is also due to the impact of the holidays, not sure) This concerns me and it concerns me in particular once getting to maintenance. Anyone else deal with this and have insights? On another note – today is day one as babysitter!!!!

1/5 – 131.4 Second time seeing this number, so it’s feeling more real. Yesterday babysitting, worked well for not being tempted to pick at food (not in my own home), but not the best for my exercise options and then this morning I overslept. Will have to figure today out.

Back again after not posting for a few rounds. I was still working on this, just had a lot going on in my head as well. Happy to be back.

3/1 116.3kg
Have been going to the gym with friends, and maintain my deficit. Hopefully the extra weight from the holidays will work it's way off again. Most of it is probably food bulk and water weight, as I was close to maintenance calories, even on feast days.

4/1 115.7kg
Had a migraine today, so no exercise and very little food. MFP was whinging. Oh well. It's not like it's everyday. Tried to keep my water up at least.

5/1 115.6kg
Took another recovery day after my migraine yesterday. I always feel washed out the next day. Organised to get to the pool with some friends tomorrow.
