Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 137

oxnina · January 2021

Round Goals
- drink at least 64 oz of water
- track my food intake
- go for a walk every day

SW: 244.4 lbs
GW: 150 lbs

01/02: 244.3 lbs: (-0.1lbs) Rough start for food yesterday. Went for a long walk (didn’t track how long

01/03: 243.2 lbs: (-1.1lbs)Yesterday was better. Usually every weekend my husband likes to go and get fast food breakfast. I looked up what I previously would get and realized it was 1000 calories! I made a smarter decision and it was only 450 calories instead skipped lunch and had a filling dinner but I was way under my calories and at 9:30 I was scrambling to eat things to get over 1200 calories and get rid of my headache.

01/04: 242.7 lbs:(-0.5 lbs) went on a 5 km walk yesterday which was wonderful! My hubby once again convinced me to eat out (with the promises to not again this week) so I’m not really sure how many calories were in my dinner. Feeling happy and well

01/05: 241.8 lbs (-.9 lbs): back to work yesterday after being on vacation. I’m currently working from home due to Covid and I’d normally snack throughout the day but I didn’t! Yay! I was slightly over my calories but honestly happy that I didn’t feel starving and felt satisfied. Wasn’t able to get on a walk though.

01/06: 240.7 lbs (-1.1 lbs): yesterday was a good day.. it’s getting easier now. I’m eating a bit more food the last couple days and I’m finding it’s helping with my hunger. Went for a 30 min walk on my lunch break, but didn’t reach my water goal

01/07: 240 lbs (-0.7 lbs) : my hubby really wanted McDonald’s for lunch. I managed to just get chicken nuggets and had some soup at home rather than a full meal. Small victories! Was terrible with my water today though

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.

6/1 115.5kg
Really poor sleep, so I didn't get to the pool. Going to try again tomorrow.

7/1 114.7kg
Got a big whoosh overnight. Bodies are weird.

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/01 …..207.8 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/02 …..208.1 ….. Travel today.

01/03 …..207.1 ….. Travel yesterday and again today. I don’t quite understand my fluctuations. I think water weight as I was up and down shedding all night. I won’t get in much movement today and food will be away from home again. Just got to get through these couple of days!

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.

01/05 …..207.0 ….. Gotta make good choices today. I am expecting a handyman and his family over for most of the day to help take down and store my Christmas things. We’ll see how my meals go but there should be lots of activity.

01/06 …..207.2 ….. Very likely a no TMI fluctuation. Very exciting day! I had a 7 foot space on my livingroom wall (after changing the furniture) that was screaming for something. I found a beautiful sideboard in the perfect rich wood finish on facebook and had my handyman pick it up for me. I’m in HEAVEN. So beautiful and elegant. The lady sold it to the right person. I will respect it and take excellent care of it.

01/07 …..207.2 ….. A low calorie day. Perhaps the milk I couldn’t resist (16 oz).

01/08 …..xxxxx …..

01/09 …..xxxxx …..

01/10 …..xxxxx …..

01/11 …..xxxxx …..

My Goal is to get my 10,000 steps in daily (like I used to!)

January 01 – 10,053 steps. I mean business!
January 02 – Traveled. Only 7308 steps.
January 03 – 10,571 steps. Travel plans were cancelled so I fit it in.
January 04 – 7120 steps
January 05 – 10,725 Took down Christmas décor so plenty of activity!
January 06 – 8341 steps. A little short.

SW: 198.8/90.2
CW: 194/88
Next goal: 189.5/86 (BMI: 29.8)

Day/Weight/Comment

01/02 = 90.2
It will be yet another day of celebrating with friends today, why do I have so many occasions that center around the sharing of extravagant foods?
For next year I'm going to think up activities that will shift the focus away from the meal/special foods, maybe a costume party for Christmas or a working bee/group project for new years?
I'll tell everyone this year that I'm tryin' to start a thing and see if they go for it.
01/03 = 90.5
So far over my kj's yesterday that I almost wimped out on doing the weigh-in this morning.
I find myself back to my old thought patterns about not wanting to waste *eye roll* the leftover treat foods... must remember: a much more tragic waste would be not accomplishing what I want to in my life.
01/04 = 90
Got back on the better eating wagon yesterday, took me longer to adjust back after the holiday than I thought it would, I just kept telling myself that this would be the final day and then the next and the next, relapsing back into old patterns -eating away at my resolve that changing my lifestyle is important.
Before my next food focused holidays (June Solstice) I'm going to have to work out some strategies to manage those "lingering on" tendencies and reignite my resolve more quickly... maybe in the days following my holidays I'll find a healthy activity like a fun run or plan a hike or ride so I'm abruptly confronted with the reality of why eating well matters.
01/05 = 89.8
I'm trying to get some Oomph happening for January but am feeling like I'm lagging behind in all the things.
Got to remember that it's not a race, it's not like I can sprint and "win". it's not about being good/bad, it's about no longer denying my physical self the care and consideration that I have always automatically given to my pets and my loved ones. I'm realizing that even my home has routinely gotten more of my attention than my health LOL! As Willy Wonka said "What do you think will come of that?"
01/06 = 89
01/07 = 88.2

01/08 = 88

01/09
01/10
01/11

My aim for Round 137 is to keep to the low end of my kj range and complete one exercise bike ride.

Previously...

2020 Goal <200lbs
133 = 205/93 to 200.6/91
134 = to 197/89.5
135 = to 196.2/89 Solstice
136 = to 198.8/90.2 Christmas and NYE

2021 Goal: <176.3/80kg
137 = 198.8/90.2 to ?

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 of calories!!
01/06 131.8 - Oh it was so wonderful to be able to get out doors yesterday, it's totally right you don't realise what you've got until it's taken away!! 13.17 miles walked yesterday including 20 mins of jogging.
01/07 131.8 - 10.76 miles walked yesterday including day 2 of week 6 CP25K, ran for 23 minutes that was 2.5 mile non stop !! 5K was completed in 35.1 minutes, I am well chuffed with that. Aiming to actually run the whole of the 5K on 01/11, just hoping the weather co-operates!!
01/08 131.8 - 10.16 miles walked yesterday, no running as after a dusting of snow which then had frozen, followed by a hoar frost and then freezing fog it was way too slippery and dangerous to run, so just bristly walked for a couple of hours +.

Making an effort to get daily average up above 9 miles per day to acheive my goal this year!

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. We really should be remote learning right now 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 off.
01/06 176.4 Gave into a chocolate craving yesterday, but it could have been much worse. The little pieces I ate should have still been within calorie range, so hopefully this is a normal fluctuation. It’s tiny anyway, so I’m not going to stress over it. It’s not supposed to rain here and I’m working from home today, so I’m hoping to get in a good walk with the dog during a break. Have all my meals ready to go, so there should be a little extra time in my day for activity. Did 17:7 IF yesterday.
01/07 177 Just gotta keep doing the right things. Waiting for a swoosh. 17:7 IF
01/08 176.4 Did 16:8 IF yesterday. My 89-year old Dad got his vaccination appointments, and by Feb. 3, I will not be able to take this damn virus home to him. I’m so excited about that!!! I’m hoping they put educators on the list before too awful long, so I can get mine too, but at least he will be protected from anything I'm exposed to at school.

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

01/06- 121.2 Sticky downward but at least I am going downward. Did not realized how dependent I have become on my apple watch. Forgot to initialize exercise when started playing pickleball so did not get any credit- Waaaa! Wasn't sure what to do- kind pathetic when you think about it. Relieved I went downward - ate 2 of the frozen cookie dough balls, nothing is safe from me.
01/07- 121.2 Funny I had my self all psyched I would be seeing a jump down this morning and ???? sideways. I am not a scale psychic. Starting an 11 week pickleball tournament Wednesday nights and next week will actually also play for 3 weeks in another. I spent an embarrassing amount of time figuring out when to eat dinner, making sure it was a light but nutritious meal. I know I can not eat afterwards- last year when I gave up eating after 7 I had so many health improvements- I was sure I would have huge drop today- Well who knows. Had a ton of fun. Won all 3 games decisively.
01/08-121.0 This is suppose to be the way to lose. If I only never saw that 119 last month- I need to be happy with this slow steady lost and because this is healthy sustainable loss. I also need to tighten up my diary, Need to be willing to dirty some extra pans to measure the recipe totals- Sorry writing this down to instigate me into doing.

Average last round - didn't measure!

12/29 65kg....starting with stopping booze and drinking lots of water
12/30 64 kg travel day feeling queasy so very little food
12/31 63kg...celebrating a 2kg drop since I recommitted to keto and tracking did a 25 min run.
1/1 63.25kg which is fine after some wine. All ready for the new round!

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

Round 136: 0.0 12/23-1/1

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.

1/6 – 130.2 Way too good to be true. Yesterday was interesting from and exercise point of view. Had accidentally woken up late, and with other tasks more critical, I did not get in any exercise before heading to daughter’s to babysit. GS is 11 months, so not a lot of movement during those hours. Other challenges I participate in, require various degrees of exercise. Decided, bike sound acceptable, planned on my minimum 20, but did 30. Later in the evening, I looked at the rings on my apple watch and saw the pathetic numbers. At 8:30 PM, decided to go out for a walk to close my rings. Resulted in over 4 miles. I kept adding “one more street”. Maybe I will start paying attention to those rings more often.

1/7 – 130.2 Two days in a row! Two days makes me consider a number as possibly real. This weight loss journey can be so confusing. There are days I don’t deserve a loss, yet I get one, and other times when there is a gain that makes no sense. Day 4 babysitting today. Yesterday, I did use the Apple Watch rings as another reference point for my activity. Let’s see how that goes. Elliptical and hydration are a bit of a fail so far this round, but the walking continues to be on track. I do need to figure one thing out though, since the new year, I am finding that certain exercises are triggering bad headaches, when that has never occurred before (started with pushups, is impacting planking, and yesterday the elliptical).

1/8 – 129.2 I don’t see how this is possible. IMO I am not even eating in deficit sufficiently to justify the 130.2. I did go for my walk after dinner in the dark, and it was a good one. No babysitting today. Have got to catch up on house work, and important phone calls. Hopefully my pre-tracking for the day, will keep me in line.

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.

Really poor sleep, so I didn't get to the pool. Going to try again tomorrow.

Got a big whoosh overnight. Bodies are weird.

Went to the zoo with the kids, so lots of walking, and carrying my youngest when he was overwhelmed. It was nice to notice that I wasn't puffed, even walking up the hills.

Start weight (31 August 2020): 349.2 lbs
Start weight for 137 challenge: 324.2
Aim for 11 January: 321.2

2 January 2021: 324.2 This is the first time I have gone up over the festive period, and am determined to see it come back down in the next ten days. I feel very determined today for sure:)
3 January 2021: 324.2 This was a good day, getting back to the 'normal' way of eating, just need the scales to reflect it!
4 January 2021: 324.8 Oh dear, NYE camembert and crusty bread (and champagne) coming home to roost!
5 January 2021: 324.1 Coming back down, that's good. God I was hungry yesterday though, just eating normally but it was hard work to stick to 16:8. I did it and the scales will come down.
6 January 2021: 323.6 Another good day, and I can see the scales coming down. I think this is the least amound of weight I've ever put on over the holidays, and the fastest that I've taken it back off, so that's good.
7 January 2021: 323.6 Another great day of sticking to my daily allowance, getting on the treadmill and being very positive. Keep going!!
8 January 2021: 322.7 So pleased! I've been sticking like glue to eating well all week, and it's good to see the scales coming down. Tomorrow is my birthday but am learning to maybe have one indulgent day and not an indulgent fortnight! Fingers crossed for Monday's weigh in

01/08 - 148.4 - Back to end weight of last round. Now if I can keep dropping. Dinner plans last night were ruined last minute so we got Chinese. Surprised I'm not up from that. Tried my "leftover soup" and it was actually really delicious. And filling! Put the second container (filled 2 to the brim! It made a lot) in the freezer as I'm sure I'll get bored and tired of it after a few days. Have some leftover sesame beef from last night to change things up today. Water was decent - guessing about 80oz. Pretty sure that helped drop some bloat - its still there, but less! I'll take it considering Chinese usually means the scale goes up and so does the bloat! Fasted 15.5hrs as I got really hungry (due to my late-night Jack&Coke Wednesday which pushed my window so far back). 16hrs today takes me to just after 12 so I'll be good there. Day off so I'll be running errands as needed.

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.
01/05 - Carby carby. Had homemade chicken fried rice and egg rolls for dinner. Was delicious, but I usually do bump up a bit when I eat it. 65oz water. 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.
01/06 - BF needed out of the house and got approval from his boss to be away from his computer long enough to go get dinner. Those opportunities are few and far between so we ventured out to grab Mexican food - aka salty chips! Was barely able to reach my 64oz of water so that isn't helping with water retention, either. Need to get on it in the morning. Usually I can drink water quickly in morning and taper off but lately I've been slacking in morning and running the fine line between catching up to goal or waking up several times in the middle of the night. Oops! Fasted only 16hrs but BF made breakfast (a reason for him to take a break from the computer). Unfortunately, dog jumped fence once while in the backyard enjoying weather. Second time, she escaped the house to jump the fence. She's never done that before until the last couple days! So my breakfast got cold while searching for her ): But it did push me over 16hrs, so that's a win! Today shouldn't be difficult to reach 17hrs. And I can't be too much of a couch potato since the dog has to be monitored when she goes outside. Ugh. Glad its warmed up at least.
01/07 - The bloat! More salty chips. Went to our other Fam's kind of taco/fajita pot luck dinner last night. The wife also works the same company as BF and both FamWife and FamHub's so she's in on this "conference" as I'm calling it. She's a definite social butterfly so she needed some interaction. Her poor husband is self-employed and watching their kids so it was nice to give him a little break, too, and just talk. Plus, it got us out of the house and BF away from his computer desk for a bit (though he still had his computer and was working). Not sure dinner plans today, but I made my "leftover soup" as I'm calling it. Had leftover celery, carrots, bell pepper, spinach, orzo, and chicken breast. Had diced tomatoes on hand so only had to buy broth and cannellini beans - super cheap and not so wasteful! Plus it made a TON of soup I can eat on it for lunch for quite a while. Probably should freeze the second portion now that I'm thinking about it. Haven't even tried it so hopefully it turned out okay. Fasted 16.5hrs (an oops moment tasting my bell pepper while chopping), and 96oz water.

01/03 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Managed a seated upper body dedicated stretch. Arms, shoulders, sides, back, and belly! Felt so good. Next - lower body (:
01/04 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Got to do two dedicated lower body stretches. Hammys stiff so did a little in morning and a little after dinner.
01/05 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Started a dedicated stretch but interrupted by BF when he realized dog was not in backyard. Did some jogging through the neighborhood in search of her, though!
01/06 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓

01/07 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Nearly forgot to add in daily stretching.... oops!
01/08 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: TBD - Day has only just begun but once BF got up for work, I could stay in bed (its a rare thing). I was able to sprawl out and stretch. Best part? I got my back to finally pop! I feel so wonderful. Not sure it does too much (relieves some stiffness right above the titanium, which, unfortunately, always feels stiff and like it needs a pop to release), but mentally it really works wonders. Haven't had that relief often since I stopped having chiropractor availability (Only select VA offices have a chiropractor on hand - pending additional. My new VA does not yet, sadly. And I can't afford the local ones out of pocket right now - plus unsure if some will take me given I've had back surgery... Surgeon said yoga will do me well so I manage!)

Round Goals
- drink at least 64 oz of water
- track my food intake
- go for a walk every day

SW: 244.4 lbs
GW: 150 lbs

01/02: 244.3 lbs: (-0.1lbs) Rough start for food yesterday. Went for a long walk (didn’t track how long

01/03: 243.2 lbs: (-1.1lbs)Yesterday was better. Usually every weekend my husband likes to go and get fast food breakfast. I looked up what I previously would get and realized it was 1000 calories! I made a smarter decision and it was only 450 calories instead skipped lunch and had a filling dinner but I was way under my calories and at 9:30 I was scrambling to eat things to get over 1200 calories and get rid of my headache.

01/04: 242.7 lbs:(-0.5 lbs) went on a 5 km walk yesterday which was wonderful! My hubby once again convinced me to eat out (with the promises to not again this week) so I’m not really sure how many calories were in my dinner. Feeling happy and well

01/05: 241.8 lbs (-.9 lbs): back to work yesterday after being on vacation. I’m currently working from home due to Covid and I’d normally snack throughout the day but I didn’t! Yay! I was slightly over my calories but honestly happy that I didn’t feel starving and felt satisfied. Wasn’t able to get on a walk though.

01/06: 240.7 lbs (-1.1 lbs): yesterday was a good day.. it’s getting easier now. I’m eating a bit more food the last couple days and I’m finding it’s helping with my hunger. Went for a 30 min walk on my lunch break, but didn’t reach my water goal

01/07: 240 lbs (-0.7 lbs) : my hubby really wanted McDonald’s for lunch. I managed to just get chicken nuggets and had some soup at home rather than a full meal. Small victories! Was terrible with my water today though

01/08:239.6 lbs (-0.4 lbs) eating was on the higher side today but still made smart decisions. I’m very happy with my progress so far, but I know this is just mostly water weight

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 - 58.1kg, horrified to see this number on the scale this morning, my highest weight since maintenance
01/03 - 56.9kg, must have been a salt overload from New Year's Day ham, calories, yoga, walking all good :-)
01/04 - 56.8kg, only doing shorter yoga routine for now, eating good, walking could have been better...
01/05 - 56.3kg, holiday weight is dropping off, walking > 16,000 steps, but too hot for yoga last night
01/06 - 56.1kg, great longer yoga session, >17,000 steps, comfortable deficit
01/07 - 56.0kg, >19,000 steps, longer yoga session, good on calories, high on fat, but maybe that's OK...
01/08 - 56.0kg, shorter yoga, a few cocktails but stayed strong with eating, > 15,000 steps
01/09 - 56.0kg, holding steady which is fine - patience pays...

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.

1/2 118.5 I felt uncomfortably bloated last night. Decided to look back at my 1/1 weights for the last few years-
2017 - 174.5
2018 - 144.5
2019 - 131.5
2020 - 122.0
2021 - 117.0
1/3 118.5 DGD#2 leaves today. Family lunch at Mexican restaurant. I ate some chips and part of a tortilla but mostly stuck to beef fajitas. Surprised there wasn’t a gain because we had a pitcher of Margaritas! May show up tomorrow. I think we’re going to go to Greek today.
1/4 119.0 Stressful night last night only 4 hours of sleep.
1/5 120.5 Not worried, I ate a WHOLE HUGE NY bagel.
1/6 119.5
1/7 119.5 EDIT: 4 hours, 8 cups of coffee and one TMI visit = 118.5
1/8 119.5 Expected, Greek salad with gyro meat, melitzanosalata and pita! YUM! Leftovers today. And probably extra weight tomorrow!

*Two oldest granddaughters visiting until 1/3 and 1/4*
1/1 Walked with neighbor
1/2 2603 steps
1/3 I have decided my January goal will be getting back to longer fasts. 1/4 16 hours on 1/3
1/5 I need to remember to track my fasting in Senza. Aim for 16:8 most days with goal of 36-42 hours once a week. I did a plank for the first time in a long time! 1:00.84. The cat does not like to share horizontal space on the floor so this has to be timed to his sleeping!
1/6 1:19.46 plank
1/7 Waiting for opportunity to use horizontal surface. Haven’t planked but attempted and got this for my effort- upper arm claw holes!
1/8 TBD

Day/Weight/Comment
01/01 …..207.8 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/02 …..208.1 ….. Travel today.

01/03 …..207.1 ….. Travel yesterday and again today. I don’t quite understand my fluctuations. I think water weight as I was up and down shedding all night. I won’t get in much movement today and food will be away from home again. Just got to get through these couple of days!

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.

01/05 …..207.0 ….. Gotta make good choices today. I am expecting a handyman and his family over for most of the day to help take down and store my Christmas things. We’ll see how my meals go but there should be lots of activity.

01/06 …..207.2 ….. Very likely a no TMI fluctuation. Very exciting day! I had a 7 foot space on my livingroom wall (after changing the furniture) that was screaming for something. I found a beautiful sideboard in the perfect rich wood finish on facebook and had my handyman pick it up for me. I’m in HEAVEN. So beautiful and elegant. The lady sold it to the right person. I will respect it and take excellent care of it.

01/07 …..207.2 ….. A low calorie day. Perhaps the milk I couldn’t resist (16 oz).

01/08 …..207.0 ….. Food choices a bit better yesterday. Quantities were the real win.

01/09 …..xxxxx …..

01/10 …..xxxxx …..

01/11 …..xxxxx …..

My Goal is to get my 10,000 steps in daily (like I used to!)

January 01 – 10,053 steps. I mean business!
January 02 – Traveled. Only 7308 steps.
January 03 – 10,571 steps. Travel plans were cancelled so I fit it in.
January 04 – 7120 steps
January 05 – 10,725 Took down Christmas décor so plenty of activity!
January 06 – 8341 steps. A little short.
January 07 – 6873 I was forced to charge my fitbit in the evening for awhile. I’m not sure how many steps were not recorded but I likely did not hit the 10,000.

Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 137
