    You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.
    Female, 5’3”, 60
    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug

    🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
    🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)

    Exercise Goal for this round: Bike 3x, Walk 8x, Plank 10x
    🎯Mini Goal: See the ZERO … 210

    Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
    2/2 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 miles, plank, fishing caught nothing, 1971 cal, 78 net carbs, toast with 1 small glass champagne.
    2/3 211.6 Walked 3 miles after 5 hr drive, plank, 1531 cal, 48 net carbs, 2 wine. Time to get back on plan ... saw this number on Dec 15 and it is a relief that it returned after seeing higher numbers during the holidays.
    2/4 210.1 Walk 5 miles, plank, 1751 cal, 57 net carbs, AF.
    2/5 210.0 Walked 3.7 miles in Memorial Park, plank, 1902 cal, 64 net carbs, 1 glass wine.
    2/6 210.1 Walked 3 miles, plank, 1735 cal, 27 net carbs, 2 glass wine.
    2/7 211.1 Rain, bike, plank, 1669 cal, 69 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Food tracking is incomplete. Stress eating while TV flicking news channels and putting together 2020 expense reflection for our home budget and retirement planning.
    2/8 209.2 Walked 3.4 + .6 miles, plank, gardening, 1281 cal, 29 net carbs, 1 glass wine.
    2/9 209.3 Walked 2.2 + 1.4 miles, plank, 1634 cal, 81 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. I’m not a chocolate person but the Russell Stover - Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Mix with Stevia (low net carb but still high calorie) is too tempting and I find I’m snacking on it too much when bored or stressed. I need to break this new habit.
    2/10 210.3 Walked 3 miles, bike, plank, 1873 carbs, 73 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Swoosh the pound is back 🙁
    NSV Took my measurements and I'm 3" smaller in bust & hips and 2" smaller in the waist so I dug into my drawer and found a favorite old pair of pajamas bottoms to try on and they fit!!!

    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.
    01/08 176.4 Did 16:8 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.
    01/09 178.0 Did really well yesterday…until I didn’t. Ohh well. Had a late fast food meal or I think I’d have been fine this morning. Today is my daughter’s birthday and Monday is my granddaughter’s birthday. The celebration meal she wants will not be good for tomorrow’s weight. Will need to watch what I eat the rest of the time and exercise each day. Just hoping I can still show a small loss for the round.
    01/10 179.2 Wasabi (Japanese show dinner meal) and birthday cake (twice) are the primary culprits here, but honestly, I need to commit to logging everything again. I think I’ll go back to proteins and relatively low carb again for a while (if I can) and see if I can knock out these cravings. Chocolate cravings are REAL! It’s a mindset thing for me, and I’m not in it at the moment. But, I will be again! I can do this! The exercise challenges have really helped me get back to moving a lot during my day, so now I just have to conquer the "what do I put in my mouth" part.

    JANUARY EXERCISE GOALS:
    EXERCISE BIKE—100 miles
    WALKING—50 miles (outside or with walking workout videos if weather is bad)
    HIKING—at least one hike in the mountains during January


    01/02 8 miles on the exercise bike; 2.4-mile walk in the neighborhood,
    01/03 1.5-mile walk with stroller and granddaughter; 5-mile HIKE in the Smokies on an absolutely perfect weather day--don't get many like this in January here, so I took advantage of it on the spur of the moment.
    01/04 3.22 miles walking, 7.1 miles on the exercise bike, some stretching too, which I really need.
    01/05 6-mile exercise bike routine
    01/06 1.58-mile walk during my lunch at work. Took a break from the bike last night though
    01/07 2.07 miles walked and 5.04 miles on exercise bike
    01/08 Took a zero day yesterday other than just normal daily steps. My knees were a bit sore so wanted to rest them.
    01/09 7.5 mile exercise bike routine. Used a Hills program which was challenging, but I like it.
    01/10 8-mile ride in the Hills program. Gotta get in a good walk today.
    01/11

    TOTALS for January:
    EXERCISE BIKE: 42 miles
    WALKING: 14.19 miles
    HIKES: 1—completed on 1/2/21 maybe I can get in another one this month if the weather will cooperate

    Chocolate cravings truly are real! I recently rediscovered how yummy the chocolate FiberOne bars (I get the trader joe's version) are and they satisfied my chocolate craving last night. If your gi track can handle the fiber and you like the flavor of them, they are worth trying to see if it helps your craving.

    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.

    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 +.
    01/09 131 – whoo whoo !! really pleased with a second whoosh this 10 days, really hope this sticks, but tonight is our pizza night so may well go back up, hope this is limited! 9.03 miles walked yesterday, no running as woke up again to a covering of snow which had then frozen. Is global warmimg reversing? Normally where I am in the centre of the UK we have the odd day when we wake up to snow which causes chaos for the morning commute but then melts before the end of the day, last weeks snow had only just melted after 10 days and then we immediately had a further fall making the footpaths around here too dangerously slippery to run on, in some places walking was quite risky too. Roll on the spring!!
    01/10 132.8 ? - I feel the scales are playing with me ?! I know it was pizza night last night which meant I finished the day very carb heavy together with a mince pie, but I was within my calories and I enjoyed every mouthful! 9.47 miles walked yesterday together with DH.
    01/11


    KEEP SAFE EVERYONE :). Keep calm – we're all in this together!

    ?�ﾟﾏﾼ?ﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ This is NOT A DIET - It’s a PERMANENT LIFESTYLE. ?�ﾟﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ

    Sometimes, I think the scales have a mind of their own! My weight has fluctuated 2 pounds over the past week. It's craziness! It just shows us how the averages make more sense to look at than the day to day fluxes. :smile: I'm glad you enjoyed that meal, it sounds delicious!

    SW: 198.8/90.2
    CW: 195.1/88.5
    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 = 88
    No change... I'm so impatient :joy:

    01/10 = 88.5
    What a lousy few days, I was feeling unwell, then it got stinking hot and I couldn't sleep plus muh tummys not happy,
    so how did I cope with it? Ate too much, then tried to restrict my KJ today to "make up for it" so I overate again in rebellion :joy:
    I really must find myself a better coping strategy... am reconsidering a porn addiction :wink:

    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
