1/12 - 131.2 - Hello Round 138! I’m ready for another good set of 10 days. The kids and I played outside for a good chunk of yesterday and I hope to take them for a hike today. I also held my plank for a full minute this morning! It may have been a mistake to try and do it after a 30 minute strength workout, but I managed the full 60 seconds.
1/13 - 130.8 - Wasn’t able to get the kids outside yesterday; it was grey and raining and despite my encouragement they wanted to stay inside. So we painted and read stories and played... they even played well together which is a minor miracle. I played some Beat Saber last night to make up for the lack of a hike - that game is so sneaky! The better you get, the harder you are working and the next thing you know it’s an hour later and you’re shaking and dripping with sweat. Took it easy this morning with just some yoga and my plank challenge.
1/14 - 131.0 - DH and I pulled out a board game and played last night - one we haven’t touched in months. It was great fun, but getting back up to speed meant we stayed up later than we planned. I also ate a serving of Goldfish - I accounted for it in my calories, but I’m not used to eating something so salty that late now. It meant I woke up feeling very tired and heavy from the start this morning. I tried to work it out with some dance, but just wasn’t feeling it. I’m glad I still got a workout in, even if it wasn’t up to my usual calorie burn. I also did my plank - I was trembling for the last 10 seconds but held on to the end.
1/15 - 130.6 - Cold, grey, foggy morning - I really hope it burns off since I feel completely “blah.” We ordered delivery last night - I cut my cheeseburger in half and got fruit as my side (plus snuck a few fries from the kids) which kept me nicely in a calorie deficit. I had some technical difficulties while trying to exercise this morning (which contributed to my bad mood) so it was nice to see the drop on the scale.

SW: 160.8 lbs (as of 1/10/2021)
GW: 140
Comment: I've lost 20 lbs since November 2019 using the slow and steady way (also have been intermittent fasting since November 2019, too). I'd like to be at 130 but don't think that is realistic, so I am focusing on 140lbs.
Goals over the next 10 days:
(1) Meet step goal 5/7 days
(2) Drink green tea with honey when my stress levels get high and I want to snack
(3) Eat more nutrient-dense foods instead of processed crap
Day/Weight/Comment
01/12: 162.9 (I am up from 2 days ago because I have been eating more - pure and simple - own it and move on)
01/13: 159.9 (not sure where this drop came from – probably because I had gorged on lots of food with lots of salt on the 11th – I’ll take it!)
01/14: 157.5 (I am almost back to where I was in December - I was at 156.5 and have been stuck there for about 3 months. So, I hope hoping that I keep up with this downward trend and break through the plateau. Focusing on "just 10 days" will hopefully put this into smaller chunks of my journey and not be so overwhelmed with 30 days. I also met my step goal and made really good food choices yesterday).
01/15: 159.6 (I know I have a gain, but I am ok with this. I had a really good day yesterday with food choices; I ate a lot of nutrient-dense foods and didn't overeat. I got my step goal in as well as a workout. My gain is because I had popcorn and a few slices of cheese last night before I went to bed, and this always happens when I do that. I am quite happy with my overall day yesterday).

@quiltingjaine Thank you for your insights. As for Keto, I tried it and liked it, but it was the last straw for my problematic digestive system and I ended up with a hemorrhoidectomy in Dec 2018. Even last week, where I was eating "correctly" from a digestive point of view, I got constipated and risked damaging myself again. It was pretty nerve-racking as that is only the second time since the surgery that I have had an issue, and the first time had a clear cause of trying a single day of iron supplement. Unless I solve my system, diets like Keto cannot be in my future. As for IM, it's intriguing. I would have to figure out how to have my diary hit all my goals. But worth thinking about. Sorry if that was TMI. :P
I swear by inulin if you gradually work your way up with it. It helps keep me healthy digestion wise. It's lightly sweet, so I put it in yogurt or tea or whatever I'm feeling that day. It's a soluble fiber and helps feed the good bacteria in your gut...so it can also make people gassy if they eat too much and their gi tract isn't used to it. But I love it and my stomach is unhappy without it.3 -

SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113-> 113.8 ->114.6 -> 113.6 -> 115.8-> 116 -> 115.6 -> 117.6 -> 115.8
Goal weight for this round: Seeing lower 115 or squeaking into 114 would be fantastic!
Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days01/15 116.0 The hungry horrors were so much better today! I started my day with 3 scrambled eggs with a slice of American cheese and .75 oz sharp cheddar, two slices of toast with about 2ish tsp butter(the scale wasn’t cooperating so I estimated the butter), plus a small orange. I’m sipping on a spin drift seltzer now and might have a fiberful bar for a snack if they aren’t all gone. Then, dinner will be Thai takeout but I’m going to get something veggie & lean protein based and have some rice with it. I’ll just accept any of the water weight from the salt. I love Thai food too much to give it up completely.
01/12 116.2 I drank more water than normal yesterday and the tacos for dinner were a touch salty, so I’m not worried about the blip up 😊. The tacos came out yummy, I used a ton of aji dulce peppers I froze back in October. So, I think it ended up being equal parts peppers to ground beef and one onion too. Today’s breakfast will be more bone broth with an egg or two, two slices high fiber toast with butter, and an orange. My snack/lunch will be Greek yogurt, sesame cashews, sliced banana and chopped apple. Dinner will be left over tacos from last night, but I’ll also make a cabbage slaw to go with the tacos. Looking forward to a solid day of healthy but yummy food!
01/13 115.4 It’s been a busy day so far but my food is well planned out.
01/14 115.8 I have had the hungry horrors today but I think it’s hormonal and tiredness (quite a stormy combo). I haven’t gone over my maintenance calories but it would have been super easy to do so. Breakfast was an egg with leftover roasted potatoes, high fiber toast with cream cheese and ebtb seasoning, and an orange; then I had a fiberful bar; an apple later in the afternoon; then dinner was gnocchi with a small bit of pesto and then tomato sauce; I finished dinner and then had a 1/2 cup roasted purées pumpkin with a tiny bit of maple syrup and like a 1/2 gram of butter. I think I should have tried to get more protein in my day but carbs were what I wanted.
I slept better last night than I have for a couple weeks, so I think that helped make a difference in the way I feel today!

01/13 Did a 40 minute Vinyasa flow yoga video this morning and a 45 minute spin bike workout during my lunch.
01/14 Exercise was good today, I did a 45 minute yoga video, a 20 minute spin bike ride, and finished the work day with a 2ish mile walk around the block. I want to do at least 30 minutes on the bike tomorrow and yoga in the morning.
01/15 Did a 40 minute vinyasa yoga video this morning and a 40 minute spin bike ride. Planning to go for a walk in a bit.

***Not weighing in every day, it's just not good for my mental health to see the fluctuations. Will weigh on each Monday.***
1/12 - So far so good. Worked out yesterday, ate within calorie goal, hit my protein macro, drank a lot of water. Today is not a workout day which will make it difficult to stay within my calories but I've planned out the day and am determined to stay on track.
1/13 -
1/14 - I travel 2-3 days a month and yesterday was one of them so I wasn't in here. But I planned well (packed healthy food) and stayed within calories although I did not hit my protein goal. I also did not get my workout in BUT I did play 2 hours of pickleball in the evening so I'm counting that. Hungry today but making good choices so far - the 3:00pm hour is the hardest for me, almost there. Looking forward to dinner - tuna steaks and sauteed kale, yum!
1/15 - I’ve been so good and feeling like I’ve made a lot of progress so I did a sneak peek on the scale this morning - 136.2 lbs. Hmph. I thought it would be lower but I’ll let it go and let it be. Worked out today, hit my protein goal yesterday and am on track to hit it today. Will keep on keeping on.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/11 …..207.0 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/12 …..207.0 ….. I traveled yesterday and am THRILLED that (so far) nothing extra showed up on the scale. Because I woke up earlier than usual for the travel, I fell asleep much earlier than usual last night. That meant no late night eating. It really helped!
01/13 …..207.2 ….. This is just a fluctuation. Yesterday I actually worked to make sure I got in my 10,000 steps. I ended with 12,123 steps. Before retirement, the steps came pretty easily and automatically on my fitbit during work. Now….. well, I will have to work for them.
01/14 …..207.0 ….. This is more like maintaining than losing. I made a nice keto version of stuffed green peppers for dinner and shared with a friend during movie night. However, my late night snacks were not huge, but not good choices. Self-sabotage! Today is a lazy day. I’m not getting in much movement. I feel very tired but I will watch my meals and snacks today. I just need to see something, ANYTHING. Come on 6!!!
01/15 …..xxxxx ….. Woke up to a friend banging on my sliding glass door to get in before I was even up. Made coffee and drank a cup or two before I remembered I hadn’t had a chance to weigh. I did well yesterday with my diet until late at night. A mini binge so I am a little afraid of the scale.

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.
January 08 – 6808 steps. Company all evening yesterday (until 1:00 a.m) A friend, but uninvited and unplanned so lots of sitting from 4:00 p.m. on.
January 09 – 9052 steps. Not many in the evening due to unexpected guest that stayed until 11:00 pm. Otherwise, a very active afternoon.
January 10 – 6792 steps. Movie night with a friend. Feet up during late evening. I should have worked harder during the day.
January 11 – 5531 steps. Travel Day, not much movement.
January 12 – 12,123 steps. Worked for them.
January 13 – 8580 Steps. Fell short due to another movie night.
January 14 – 7184 Steps8 -

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:JGM10D ~|~ Round 138- 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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Last round was a struggle against snacking, this time the plan is: to stick to the plan!
SW:195.5/88.7
CW: 191.8/87
Next goal: 189.5/86 (BMI: 29.8)
Aims:- Experiment with different strategies to mitigate stress eating.
- Don't restrict KJ further to "make up" for overeating - it just creates more stress!
01/12 = 88.7
Another hot day yesterday, I followed the pre-planned menu but snacked off-menu all day too and predictably went over KJ again - these repeated overs are adding up - must figure out a way to cope with the heat better!
Yesterday I had a spicy soup for lunch that felt stabilising and nutritious, maybe a solution is fasting on soup till the evening on hot days? At this point, I'm willing to try just about anything to stop the endless munching
01/13 = 88.4
A cool change yesterday so I didn't get to try out my "Hot day soup fasting" technique but I was able to stick to my menu and limit snacking
Under KJ but only just as we're still making our way through the leftover Christmas cookies -from now on I will only buy/make enough treats For The Day Of and save myself the stress (and cost) of leftover treat foods.
01/14 = 88
Theme for today: 1980's Training montage
No Retreat, No Surrender!
01/15 = 87.5
The scales were indecisive about this sweet .5 drop but I'll take it!
I'm moving bookcases and large furniture around today and need every deterrent I can get not to reward my hard work with sugar.
01/16 = 87
Dessert was stewed rhubarb and cream with some cake yesterday (which had been pre-planned as an extravagance) but if I had known I'd get to 87 today... hope I can hold on to this loss for the rest of the round.

I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion......Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

01/12: DNW. Still quarantined while we wait for my daughters test result. My breakfasts are pre-made for the next two weeks. I got a milk steamer for Christmas and I've been making some delish healthy lattes at home. I also worked out last night for the first time in a bit and it felt great to sweat.
01/13 238.7. Nice to see the loss! This was really encouraging. I really love checking in here with you guys!
01/14 DNW. Long day of working at home with kids who have been hit with cabin fever. Pizza and wine for dinner and an early bedtime. Tomorrow is a new day ☀️
01/15 DNW. Happy Friday!!!! My Daughter's covid test came back negative so we're busting out of the house first thing tomorrow! Went a bit over calories but my average for the week was 1,554 and I'm super proud of that ❤

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 138 (round 70 for me ) I'm in for another round it's obvious to me that 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 given that I was there the last round but the two last days it went a rye! 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!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12 133 – starting to come back down again, good controlled day yesterday. 7.9 miles walked /jogged yesterday. Strange day exercisewise; had to stay in for a parcel to be collected anytime between 9 & 5, with hindsight I should have got out at 7, but didn't think of it until later!! So jogged in place for 20 mins midmorning & then after delivery man picked up the parcel – midafternoon – Imanaged to get out for an hours jogging/walking. Still to complete my 5K from 2 rounds ago, hope to make it this week!
01/13 132.2 – 12.12 miles walked yesterday including 25 mins of continuous jogging.
01/14 132.2 - 11.15 miles walked yesterday (no running as rest day)
01/15 131.6 - 9.57 miles walked/jogged yesterday including 25 mins continuous jogging. Happy with how the round is going & getting back close to the lower weight of the last round.
01/16 131.6 – 14.61 miles walked yesterday – didn't plan to walk this far! Dropped car off for service other side of town and walked a meandering route home intending DH to take me to pick it up after work. I had donned my running shoes & had just got out the door when the garage phoned to say the car was ready, spontaneously I changed back into my walking boots and walked back to pick up the car, hence no run yesterday.

I've heard that water weight goes up after strenuous exercise, so I am putting this bounce down to that. I didn't sleep well as my knee was really sore. I tried to keep active today without overdoing it again.

01/12 176.2 After the swoosh, I was expecting a bump up. Glad I didn’t get one. Had a really good, controlled, food day yesterday and was able to stick with the No Junk Food Challenge.
01/13 175.4 Yay! Back to where I was before Mom’s illness. No Junk Food Challenge = Ate mostly vegetables and protein and that seems to work for me. Snacked on berries.
01/14 174.6 Things are falling back into place now. I’m hitting my stride again, so hopefully I can make some progress now. My IF ended up being 18:6 yesterday because I just wasn’t hungry at work until then. I didn’t set that as a goal. No Junk Food Challenge =
My cravings are much less now and my snacking consists of berries and a mandarin orange primarily.
01/15 174.2 This No Junk Food Challenge hits the mark for me, especially coupled with the exercise challenge and IF. Fasted 16.5 hours and walked in a fasted state. I’ve done a really good job this week with food choices and I think that has made all the difference with my cravings…which are gone—let me knock wood really quick!
01/16 173.6 Continued success with the trifecta of No Junk Food Challenge, our exercise challenge, and IF of 17:7. I’m feeling the best I’ve felt in a long time, too. Hoping for a short hike in the Smokies this afternoon after babysitting my DGD.

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
01/12 2 miles with Leslie Sansone. It was COLD, with a rain/snow mix most of the day. I thoroughly enjoy her walking workouts. I should do them more often!
01/13 No formal workout yesterday—last meeting didn’t end until 8:30 pm and I was whooped. Hoping to get in a walk at lunch and a bike ride tonight. Need to be halfway to my goals by the morning of the 16th.
01/14 10-mile bike ride which puts me over the halfway mark for biking (a couple days early). Gotta focus on walking so that goal doesn’t get out of reach. Right now my average is up to right at 2 miles/day left. I can do that easily if I will just carve out the time. So, there’s my motivation!
01/15 4.35 miles of walks and walking videos—2.35 miles walk at work followed by 2 miles with Leslie Sansone

As for Keto, I tried it and liked it, but it was the last straw for my problematic digestive system and I ended up with a hemorrhoidectomy in Dec 2018. Even last week, where I was eating "correctly" from a digestive point of view, I got constipated and risked damaging myself again. It was pretty nerve-racking as that is only the second time since the surgery that I have had an issue, and the first time had a clear cause of trying a single day of iron supplement. Unless I solve my system, diets like Keto cannot be in my future. As for IM, it's intriguing. I would have to figure out how to have my diary hit all my goals. But worth thinking about. Sorry if that was TMI. :P
I swear by inulin if you gradually work your way up with it. It helps keep me healthy digestion wise. It's lightly sweet, so I put it in yogurt or tea or whatever I'm feeling that day. It's a soluble fiber and helps feed the good bacteria in your gut...so it can also make people gassy if they eat too much and their gi tract isn't used to it. But I love it and my stomach is unhappy without it.
Thank you for the suggestion @playhardkf2017 My CRS has me on daily Miralax and Benefiber for life, and I still managed to get constipated last week. Just crazy. I'll definitely check out the inulin. I have heard that magnesium and Vitamin C are also both natural add-ons that I should incorporate.3 -

The "Throes of Winter" are upon us. Dark mornings, overcast skies, warm beds and cold floors, being cozy and tucked away in the house seems like the optimal way to spend the day...But not the new me, Up and Adam! Lets get going! Last Challenge I basically went sideways. I did up my calories as I am approaching goal, I also have upped my weights in Body Pump class too. Honestly, not sure what I am doing- seem to have a lot going on and that usually never works well for me.

Day, Weight, Comment
1/11 – 205.2 – I fasted yesterday, so I expect this weight will increase tomorrow. 15,000 steps, 15 mins aerobics. I’d like to reduce time mindlessly scrolling on my phone. I also need to get into the habit of lifting weights for at least a few minutes most days to strengthen my upper body.
1/12 – 207 – 12,800 steps, 20 mins aerobics yesterday. I expected my weight to bounce up, but I was hoping it would be more like a pound rather than 2 pounds. Still struggling with too much grazing during the day, standing at the cupboard mindlessly snacking, eating the whole bowl of trail mix while scrolling on my phone. Going to really try to focus on controlling what I put in my mouth today. Today’s focus: STAY AWAY FROM THE SNACK BOWL. SIT DOWN TO EAT. EAT FRUIT AND VEGGIES INSTEAD OF NUTS AND CRACKERS. I also need to start lifting weights again. I just do simple dumbbells at home and I actually like it, but for some reason I’m avoiding it lately, possibly because I’m spending so much time on other exercise. I have a tendency sometimes to avoid doing things that are good for me and I enjoy for some bizarre reason! Still doing well with steps and keeping a trend of YouTube workouts going. I am starting to look forward to the Sunday fast and need a more formal plan for calorie control during the week – limiting my eating to smaller windows of time. I’d been trying to fast on Wednesdays, but we’re getting meal kits delivered and it just doesn’t work with the schedule we’re on. Need to work out a better plan.
1/13 – 207.2 – 13,715 steps, 50 min aerobics, 10 min weights. Depressing results on the scale, but yesterday was better in terms of snacking. Daily weigh-ins are a good motivator/wake-up call to keep me focused. Continue to focus today on being mindful of what I’m eating; avoiding eating while standing, walking, reading, watching TV, resisting the kitten trail mix bowl.
1/14 – 206.6 – 14,442 steps, 30 min aerobics. At least I’m moving in the right direction! Will keep being mindful of what I’m eating. Trying Noom and a good “psych tip” today was to expand my food options rather than always looking at this process as taking things away. I’ve done this intuitively, especially when I tried a plant-based diet for a while, but I’ll do it more consciously now. Meal kits from Blue Apron are a great way to get the “additive” effect or reward feeling and mix up the menu with healthy options that are new. Check. Doing that. Last week tried “Lesser Evil Grain Free Paleo Puffs – No-Cheese Cheesiness” as a replacement for Cheetos. So freaking good! And they actually fill you up (though costly). Going to Costco next week and will go wild with some new fruit or veggie and/or healthy salty snack. Today also going to write out an eating/fasting schedule that will work with my spring work schedule so I can get the habit started before the semester is in full swing.
1/15 – 205.8 – 13,582 steps, 50 min aerobics. Woo-hoo! Let’s keep up the progress. Today: WEIGHTS, prepare veggies for snacking.
1/16 – 206.4 -- 12,200 steps, 25 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. Ate a pretty big, salty dinner last night but did well throughout the day and made lots of veggie snacks. Hike/snowshoe outing today and will probably go up a little in weight tomorrow. We’ll see. My cycle is all over the place and it’s hard to know when I have PMS. It was completely out of whack a couple years ago when I was near 230 pounds but it had stabilized after I dropped down below 180 and didn’t start getting irregular again until this summer as my weight creeped up into the 190s. Not sure if it’s just age or a combination of age and my weight. Whatever the case, I’m hoping to see a drop after Sunday’s fast that will stick. Have a great day, everyone!

01/16 - 147.7 - Wasn't expecting that. Had a few beers last night, stayed up late goofing off. Definitely expected to be up a lot more than I am. Hopefully that means I'm a bit more stabilized at this weight. Fasted 17.75hrs yesterday. Water was bad due to not having access to a public bathroom for 6hrs. Couldn't catch up after I got home. Today will be interesting. Because of the later evening beers, my 16hr window ends at 250pm - we are going to Fam's newly bought (as of Wednesday) land to help get things set up and do some physical labor preparations. Not sure when we will head that way so I may have to break my fast early to fuel me a bit since I won't have access to any food while out there. Will grab a portable snack, but that's it. Water will be tough, but will see about grabbing some water at the store before we go for refills.

Previous Day's Comments01/12 - Eggrolls and wine? I'm not at all sure. Some type of (homemade) asian soup with meatballs and bok choy. Egg rolls and (homemade) fried tofu with peanut sauce. Definitely lack of sleep. Stayed up to watch Steelers-Browns game Sunday night and stayed up to watch college football championship last night. I'm feeling it today. Fasted 19hrs yesterday. 75oz water. Meetings upon meetings upon meetings today and I just want to sleep right now. Bleh. Hopefully I can manage a good wake up stretch here shortly.
EDIT: Wondering if eating later is also a cause - typically I like to be at 11-12+hrs into fasting when I weigh, but I also had a later dinner so I was only at 8.75hrs fasting when I stepped on the scale this morning. Don't want to postpone weigh in since I want to wake up with a nice glass of water but it could have impact? Also thinking the future when I have to commute again - I'll be up and moving at 4-430am and dinner will be at probably closer to 730-8pm by the time I get home. Will be interesting to see how that works out with daily weighing. Especially since weekends will be VERY different as I can sleep in! Just a mindless thought as I wait for my meeting to start. Thoughts, anyone?
01/13 - Shocked at this. Homemade au gratin potatoes last night (a favorite) and that has quite a bit of dairy to it which typically causes bloating for a few days. Probably see it tomorrow. Otherwise had steak, roasted carrots, and some cooked cabbage (don't know how she makes it, but its DELICIOUS). 90oz water. Fasted 16hrs which I'm super proud of since I'm not used to fasting until past noon anymore. Need to keep pushing myself through mini hunger pains like I did. They passed quickly, luckily. Maybe that's why I'm down, too? Lunch was small - small bowl of leftover soup, a blueberry waffle, and a fig newton for a "dessert". Did some serious leg workout and boy am I sore in the thighs today! Trying to rebuild my legs/booty again - been to sedentary for too long. Now that I think about it- surprised I'm not up from DOMS, either.
01/14 - I'm quite happy with maintaining after the last few days of major bounces. Lunch was a salad with my spinach (about to go bad), croutons, leftover steak, and strawberry poppyseed greek yogurt dressing with a small bowl of mixed fruit. Dinner was salmon with this whiskey glaze I thought would be delightful (it was) and FamWife made roasted sweet potatoes (yum, been craving those) and tried a new salad - cucumber avocado with a dressing. The dressing was also supposed to be used for the salmon, but we decided the whiskey glaze I bought would be better. It was wonderful! Water was 90oz on the dot. Fasted 17.5hrs. Tad bit tired though - been sleeping so hard the last couple nights and these last two mornings my alarm pulled me out of a dream. Those are the days I really struggle to get moving because I'm so groggy being jolted awake from deep sleep. Hopefully, like yesterday, a nice morning stretch here in a bit will wake me up a bit.
01/15 - Really shocked by this. I got hit with the hunger monster bad yesterday. I struggled to make it to 16.5hr fast. Then I ate but was still very hungry. No amount of water could help. So got more food. Finally felt full only to then be told we were having pizza for dinner! Oh I was nervous. I ate until satiated, though could've easily eaten more (yay, good job, me!). Water was a touch over 90oz. Woke up 45 minutes early today, unable to sleep. I have to be at a town 45 minutes away to get our new truck's windows tinted. BF wanted to do it last week so he could go. Unfortunately this week he has way too many meetings and can't. So I'm waking up earlier than I do for work on my day off to drive out there. I'm going to be so tired later, I'm sure. Dinner is being provided by our friend so I'm going to try my best to fast long enough it will offset any madness tonight.

Dedicated Stretching: 7/15 Daily incorporation: 13/3101/01 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓01/15 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Was on the go first thing in the morning, no opportunity for a dedicated stretch. Unfortunately, no heat in the office so I was bundled up and frigid! I couldn't feel my toes by the time the guy was finished. Came home to shower since I caught a chill I couldn't shake and curled up in a blanket after.
01/02 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓
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: ✓ - Alright, my morning bed stretch went well. Managed a few upper body stretches through the day. Need to focus more on lower body. The hammies in particular. Will be the focus for today
01/09 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Planned to do yoga but BF got off work and wanted OUT of the house so I didn't get to it. He's still asleep so I'm about to go do some as soon as I hit "post" haha
01/10 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Did my yoga like I promised. Was really nice, actually. Also the weather got quite ick and my lovely screws weren't happy so did a heating pad and additional stretching to try to loosen things up and release pressure on my nerve.
01/11 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Need to do yoga and stop procrastinating. Dedicated time was short, but I managed it after dinner. Getting horrible about putting it off and then only getting short stretches in.
01/12 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Got my yoga in and then did legs and booty. Definitely need to stretch the quads today, woke up with jelly legs!
01/13 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Yoga yoga yoga. I don't know why I don't do it! Well, I do: I'm tired and lazy. But I always feel so much better after! Its the starting part that gets me... I did it yesterday, though I didn't want to and felt way better for it. Need to keep that in mind.
01/14 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Didn't get yoga in. Too many meetings first thing and didn't want to change back into workout clothes. Today I'm going to be gone half the day with the truck so not sure I'll get much in. Will try to do some dedicated stretching while the guy works on the truck, though.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12 129 (This is high for me: yesterday was a bad day before I decided to join this challenge, also it’s my TOM. I am so happy to be here with you all. I have gained 10 pounds since the summertime. I am really struggling and I need to turn things around and start exercising more. I am looking at short term goals instead of the full picture so I think this challenge will help. The first half of 2020 I was in my maintenance range. I want to get back.) 1345 calories/3.3 miles walking
01/13 127.6 Happy about the weigh in. I was hoping for a nice drop the first day back on track.
01/14 126.2 Yay, binge weight and TOM weight is coming off. It will probably slow down. Focus is needed.
01/15 127 Up some unfortunately. Not a bad day yesterday but more calories than I should have.
01/16 126.6 Yay, I’ll take it. Lots of improvement this challenge so far. I have stopped stress eating 2,000+ calories and getting back gradually to where I was before. Progress. I need to put in more 1200 calorie days though.
