JGM10D Round 137

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!😷

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

Aims:
2021 Focus:

Maintain weight < 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 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
That's a WIN in my book!
2021
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!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 137 (round 69 for me ) I'm in for another round for the New Year – I need this to help me! Thank you GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set up these challenges.

Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back closer to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

Challenge for this round will be to get back into 131s for the end of the round. I think that is reasonable! Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, try to keep it in moderation, keep walking, no binges; remember keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!

Day/Weight/Comment

01/02 132.8 -11.1 miles walked yesterday, the ice and snow is starting to melt, luckily we got out early cuz now there will be only indoor exercise for me until Tuesday; we have been contacted by NHS test and trace, we have been in contact with a person who has tested positive for Corona virus and we now have to self isolate

I plan on doing some jogging on the spot in the garage and also some stretching and toning exercises. 415 calories in credit yesterday, I really need to keep my calories down the next few days as I will not be able to do the mileage I usually do.
01/03 132.8 -- 2 x 30 minutes jogging in place, just put my music on and went for it! I was really surprised that I didn't get out of breath! It's a bit boring though!! 101 calories over.
01/04 132.8 – 30 mins jogging in place yesterday. Being confined to barracks I'm really getting on with my knitting; a shawl for our 4th grandchild due in May. I've already done my jogging in place today; thanks to UTMom81; 55 mins whilst watching Utube film of a 7 day hike in the Smoky Mountains – brilliant!! Kept me going for the full 55 mins!! As long as neither of us have any Covid symptons tomorrow we're released!! (Fingers crossed) Yippeee! So as DH is self isolating too and not at work, we are using the time to take our Christmas tree and decorations down and stowing them back in the loft.
01/05 131.8 - Did half an hour of toning/stretching exercises/yoga poses yesterday before 55 mins jogging in place. Neither self nor DH have developed any covid symptons so we are released from self isolation today, but sadly we are being plunged back into national lockdown again with effect from this morning, on the brightside that at least we are able to get out for exercise. The snow and ice has practically melted away now so once the frost has cleared I'll be out burning off calories!!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 177.8 Lots of exercise yesterday, but no loss yet. Bought food that should help me get back in the groove, so I'm hoping for and working toward, a good round. I do still have some craving demons to battle with after the holidays, so that will be my biggest challenge this round, I think. Going for high protein, lots of veggies and some berries today.
01/03 176.8 Moving in the right direction again. Yay! Stayed well within calorie range yesterday with lots of exercise. Cravings are beginning to lessen. Did 15:9 IF and hoping for longer than that today.
01/04 176.6 Did my cooking for the week (well a lot of it anyway). Am trying a couple new recipes for lunch and dinner that I’m excited about from skinnytaste.com. Feeling like I’m back in the groove with my eating, with IF, and with exercise, so hopefully this will be a good round. Did 17:7 IF yesterday. Back to work for the first time in a month today (Mom’s illness, death, then holidays). Will see how that affects my “groove.”
01/05 176.2 Had a really good day eating only the things I had pre-cooked/pre-planned. Did 17:7 IF again yesterday which seems to be a good place for me to be. Back at the office went ok even though I really don’t see why any of us in education are in-person right now. We really should be remote learning because we are one of the hottest spots in the world for Covid in my county. But NO! Off to work we go! Hoping for a walk at lunch today if the weather holds.

Anabirgite · January 2021

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

Round GW 118
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.
I also need to drop 50 lbs in hopes of getting rid of my sleep apnea.

✔️Set up new home gym
✔️cutting back on sweets, no snacking after dinner
✖️ordered in - Japanese. Stayed away from the fried stuff- only had one piece of tempura.

Fasted 19hrs but was so hungry yesterday from skipping dinner and BF made breakfast tacos, I couldn't say no. Longer eating window also likely accounted for the blip up in weight. Back to normal fasting window today.

Previous Day's Comments

01/02 - TOM bloat is kicking my behind! I feel less puffy but my tummy definitely looks more puffy. Need to cut the TOM cravings. Best Friend sent me reeses flats and I've been indulging on 1-2 of those the last couple days. Need them GONE. Think I crave because they're in the house and visible, honestly. Fasted 16.5hrs. Hit 64oz water. Going to push more water on this lazy day and see if I can move the bloat along elsewhere. Have 1 more serving of italian wedding soup and then 1.5 servings of last nights baked parmesan garlic chicken (with sides) for lunch the next few days. Getting brave and comfortable in kitchen so I'm planning on using leftover carrots, spinach, and orzo in a soup for lunches. Have a base soup recipe for them, need to figure out what protein will go best from my options: chicken, bacon, beans. Beans for sure, I think. Not sure about adding either of the other two. BF will try to make the lemon pepper chicken tonight if work slows down enough. Need to use chicken before it goes bad. Otherwise, I'll likely be taking direction from him and learning his recipe for it. So happy cooking is feeling less like a chore and more of something I look forward to. HUGE improvement.
01/03- Back down, feeling less bloated. Ended up having steaks last night. I was super hungry so I went back for more comfort food: rolls filled with homemade mashed potatoes. Yum. Thankfully, I was quite satiated after that. The extra carbs from that may account for the visible bloat I have hanging on. I'm alright with that! Managed 16 hrs but I was huuuuungry. 75oz down the hatch. Could've drank more, but I woke up the last few nights in the middle of the night to pee and I DID NOT want to do it again so tapered off water early.
01/04 - Broke fast early (15hr) because BF made breakfast for us to use up the last of the package and not waste it. Got 70oz water only. Missed dinner due to being at the dealership. Managed a deal I didn't think was at all possible AND got a great trade in value (talking $3-4k more) that I couldn't say no to. And winter sale was still going on, so the truck was $8000 below list price. Old truck was dying. Transmission going out, not reliable. We avoided driving it, but its the only vehicle that could fit all of us and driving either 12 or 22hr round trips to pick kiddos up got to be a really nervous thing because we weren't sure the old truck would make it. Now we have a brand new (2021), a diesel (which, if our future plans go well, we need and had been discussed for a couple years now), and a long term vehicle we don't have to worry about anymore. Its a huge relief despite my payments going up. Did my homework and its more than doable so not too worried about it. Anywhoot, because travel (had to drive an hour) water wasn't the most ideal and definitely forgot to grab the dinner BF set aside for me. Guess that's my lunch.

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.

Previous Goals

- Get under 150
- Get under 145 by my birthday (10/26)
- Get to pre-COVID weight from Feb 2020, 142.4
- Get under 140 before Thanksgiving 2020,
- 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
- Maintain weight for round 136 which included Xmas as well as New Years

Running total, since Sept 14, 2020: -21.0

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.

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.
