Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 138

SModa61 · January 2021

So, based on my behavior in round 137, I want to get back to the habits of pre-tracking and planning that were working so well for me from Oct 1 through X-mas. Husband being out of town for most of last round made me revert to not planning, since it is “only me”. That behavior then snow balls.

Goals for round 138 are to again try to and lose 1 more lb again. 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
- lost the 1 token pound in round 137, but is was what I hoped for, so all good, right?

Round 138 – starting weight 131.0

1/12 – 130.8 Yesterday was all pre-tracked, but I did make slight tweaks as the day went on. Dairy was good, exercise was good. Feels good to be in “control” again. Today was pre-tracked yesterday and I just finished planning tomorrow and parts of Thursday.

1/13 – 130.0 Pre-tracking again is being helpful. Today 90+% filled in and same for tomorrow. Remaining 10% allow for a little spontaneity. Yesterday was lighter on exercise, but it matched where my head was at. Scale did not seem to mind. Today is also my second to last day as "Nanny". Tomorrow, I have an oral surgeon consult (dental implant?) and I will have broken our "bubble", then Hubby comes home from Florida Saturday, so we will be quarantining together until his negative test next week. Following weekend (23rd) we hope to celebrate grandson's first birthday a week early as starting on the 27th, hubby and I have to deal with movers, contractors and delivery people for my MIL's new condo and we are presumed contaminated again. COVID is certainly making regular life a challenge.

1/14 – 129.8 As mentioned yesterday, today was pre-tracked already, but tomorrow’s is not. My babysitting is shifted today to an earlier set of hours due to my afternoon oral surgeon consult. Leaving the house in 35 min and I am still in PJ’s – overslept. I really should start setting alarms. Will be home earlier as well. I will get on planning and tracking for tomorrow and the next few days.

1/15 – 129.0 ok, so the scale says that I am at THAT number and I need to mentally sort out what to do.
I think first step is to make sure it is real and sticks and I would likely give it a week to check that. After that, I have pros and cons. Pros are clothing that I have fit again, 129 is a logical weight for me and a few years ago, I did maintain weight between 128 and 131 for a long period of time. Cons are that waist is still “thick” (30”) but not sure how much is menopause related and how much can be fought, I also still have a bit more pooch under by broken post-pregnancy abdominal skim and above my double surgery scars. At DD’s wedding, May 2017, I was accidentally between 124 and 126 (dress ended up not fitting right), but I remember how much flatter the broken skin was and how the pooch was actually feeling hollow at the time. Anyhow, just what’s going through my mind. Let’s see how this round closes out and if this sticks.........ARGH, just noticed that I have not pre-tracked today as I planned!

1/16 – 129.8 Yesterday was a perfect day based on CICO and exercise, so this makes it clear that I need to give the scale and my body time to find homeostasis. Also yesterday, I took the time to fully track through next Friday. Since Hubby is coming home after travel, we will be quarantined until a negative test comes back. Heading to the grocery store in 15 minutes with my list prepared from my tracking.

1/17 – 129.0 Pre-tracked day is so much easier. So yesterday, was grocery store, finish straightening house, head to daughter for last babysitting before I am quarantining, arrive home to hubby already there, start making dinner w/ new recipe, then chill in the evening. Was not motivated to throw in more nighttime exercise, so I am glad I got creative at my daughter’s small condo. For 23 minutes, I went up and down the stairs to their basement for 3 round trips per minute. Not a ton of exercise, but it felt good to find control in my day.

1/18 – 129.4 Bouncing around. Guessing the typical salt issue. Not much to say today!!!

1/19 – 128.2 I do think the pre-tracking is helping. Great walk last night, good speed & nice length. Going to put up a separate post about stomach vacuums. Curious about other experiences.

1/20 – 128.6 Many distracting responsibilities at the moment. For example, got up at 5:45 this morning to try and get my 83 year old signed up for a COVID vaccine. We had 5 computers all in the que. At 7:25, all signups within 1.5 hours were gone. And 7:29 their server crashed. Anyhow, my pre-tracking is saving my you-know-what. Got in my minimum UAC exercise yesterday. Glad I have that extra push. Tomorrow AM is finally my annual physical with PCP (they have called three times with appointment changes). Last night, spent hours putting my notes together (1 single page outline). List does not look bad this year. Just a couple key points to cover. But it was certainly interesting looking back at my notes from my past two years.

1/21 – 128.2 Honestly, very surprised (happyily) with the results of this round, though whenever something is too good to be true…. You know the rest. Seeing PCP in two hours. Looking at past years’ physicals, 2 yr 3 month ago I was 127.4, 1 yr 2 months ago I was 139.8, and from MFP I was 153 this past September. Hoping this is a year that she also orders the additional bloodwork and such. Would love that data too. NOW, as for my goal weight. In my stats above, I stated I had a goal of 129, and I am now under that. Given that round 139 would exactly end on January 31st, that is just too perfect to not complete one more round and then change into maintenance. Doing so would also align all four of my challenges exactly. Plus, maybe I would not mind another pound or so, but I am actually beginning to feel “right”, like I remembered from 2017. LASTLY, NSV, I bought a bathing suit that actually looked nice and is “cute”. This is something that I have always dreaded as I am short waisted (not as flattering) and have extensive stretch marks and three poorly healed abdominal surgery scars. Made my day! (That was on 1/19 and should have shared yesterday am)

Day/Weight/Comment

01/12 - 144
01/13 - 144.5 - I was wondering when my weekend snacking was going to catch up with me. Sometimes it takes a few days. I've been staying around weight loss calories this week and I hope to get my weight back down a pound before the upcoming weekend.
01/14 - 144 - That's better!
01/15 - 143.5 - I'm very happy I managed to get back to this weight today. I'm going to try to stay closer to weight loss calories this weekend so I don't have a mid week bounce up next week.
01/16 - 143.5
01/17 - 144.5
01/18 - 145 - I did not follow my plan at all this weekend. Plenty of salt and carbs. Back to lower calories and plenty of water today.
01/19 - 145 - I'm glad my weight didn't bump up any more from the weekend. Sticking to lower calories and hope to see my weight go down tomorrow.
01/20 - 144.5 - It's a good day!
01/21 - 145 - I indulged in some wine last night. I'll try to do better next round.

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. 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. This always happens when I do that. I am quite happy with my overall day yesterday).

01/16: 159.5 (I am surprised this is down. Yesterday was a very stressful day and I ate poorly; chips, chips, cheese, chips, you get the point. I also waited to weigh myself; I weighed in the early afternoon in stead of morning after a longer fast, so that could be why I am down. I am sure if I had weighed in the morning, it would have been bad. It’s afternoon now and I have eaten well, hopefully the end of the day will still be good. I want to get back to what I weighed on the 14th……sigh………I did reach my step goal and took a nice walk yesterday. )

01/17: 159.0 (Besides the cookie monster taking me over for about 30 minutes, I had a great eating day. I didn’t get my step goal in, but I did get some exercise in and my heart rate up. I slept well last night and enjoyed some quiet time in my room which has become my sanctuary – I’ve redecorated it over these Covid months to be a place of peace and relaxation. My daughter and I love my room now and avoid “the boys” while they watch tv in the other room…….peace and quiet…..ahhhhhhh……..).

01/18: 159.0 (Yesterday was a cooking day for me; homemade bread, pot of beans, and bone broth. If you find the theme in what I write, I ate really well throughout the day, but I snacked last night……popcorn and granola bars this time. If I hadn’t eaten those last night, I am sure I would be a little down from yesterday. Oh well. Today is my last day of freedom; school starts tomorrow. I am excited to see my students, and I am better about not snacking when I teach).

01/19: 158.4 (Yesterday was probably one of my best days in a while, so I am really happy with the scale number this morning. My sons and I went to the gym, I ate very well, and there was no snacking last night. I got my nails done and relaxed for a good portion of yesterday because it was my last day of freedom. I start back at work today; I teach college level so our classes start later than K-12. I am one of very few faculty who will be teaching on campus with students. One of my classes will always meet face to face (that one is today), and the other will be a mix of teaching through Zoom and face to face. I am so excited to be face to face today and am ready to see my students. I love my job.)

01/20: 156.6 (WOW! I did very well for 2 days in a row. I exceeded my step goal, did an upper body strength workout, made good choices for food consumption, had a smaller eating window, and did not snack. Because I had a smaller eating window yesterday and also strength trained, I may be eating more today if my body tells me it’s hungry. So, I won’t be surprised if the scale is up tomorrow, and that is ok. I am making progress and just need to take this a day at a time.

01/21: 157.6 (I expected this because I did eat more yesterday, but my body needed it. I ate well and had a rest day. I did meet my step goal, too).

Round 138 Summary:
Loss of 3.2 lbs (I am basing this on 1/10 and not 1/12 - the 12th was a fluke day because of the binging I did on the 11th). YAY!

Honey_Pumpkin39 · January 2021

Start weight (31 August 2020): 349.2 lbs
Start weight for 138 challenge: 323.5 lbs
Aim for 21 January: 320.9

1/12 - 323.5lbs. Up a pound, but that's probably because it was my birthday at the weekend and I overindulged with champagne and a takeaway! Back to tracking and eating well this week, so fingers crossed it comes off as quickly as the Christmas weight did.
1/13 -322.7lbs. And back down again, so that's good. I'm hungry this week! Definitely sticking to it, but it's slow.
1/14 -322.7lbs. Would love to see the scales come down - fingers crossed for tomorrow.
1/15 -322.2 lbs
1/16 -322.2 lbs
1/17 -320.9 lbs Wow, so pleased to have got to this weight - which was my goal for this challenge; let's see if I can hang in there for the next few days!
1/18 -320.7 lbs Yay, that's good. Going well, and it's Monday so always on track on a Monday, fingers crossed:)
1/19 -321.7 lbs Not sure why I've bounced back up a pound, maybe it's the weekend? Was very on track yesterday, and feel motivated today. Come on!!
1/20 -320.9 lbs Hoping I can maintain this and achieve the challenge tomorrow - that would be great!
1/21 -320.9 lbs: I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay for the second challenge of 2021, that's 2.6lb lost

137 Challenge: lost 1.5 lbs

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!

1/17 – 205.8 – 20,500 steps (around 9 miles walking on flat, rocky, sandy, icy ground). Amazed I didn’t go up again! I’m really hoping to get to 204 by the end of this challenge, but even if I don’t, I’m feeling better in my body and more in control of my eating.

1/18 – 204.2 – 16,800 steps, 45 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. WOO-HOO! So pleased to have dropped below 205. I fasted yesterday, so I hope I can maintain close to this low weight. Odd thing: Woke up around 4 a.m. and weighed myself: 203.2. I couldn’t believe it! Then I drank some sparking water and went back to bed. Two hours later I weighed in a pound heavier. I’m almost certain I didn’t misread. I even recorded that weight in MFP and Noom immediatly. Oh well. Not going to edit it as I expect to drop below 203 by the end of our next round! Feeling good. Another beautiful day I get to spend outside.

1/19 – 205 – 19,700 steps yesterday. Drank some wine and overate last night. Pleased to be at 205. Goal today: eat fruits, veg and just a little whole grain today (1/2 cup brown rice or one slice whole grain bread) before dinner.

1/20 – 206.8 – 19,800 steps, 30 min aerobics yesterday. Overate including half a bag of pretzels, cheese, ginger ale, cookies. Depressing seeing that number on the scale, but hoping it will discourage me from indulging in bad habits next time rather than spiraling down. Appreciate this practice of the daily weigh-in, reflection, and accountability. It can be harsh, but it’s helpful to see the immediate results of overindulging so I won’t keep doing it (I hope!). Today I’m focusing on being kind to myself and making better choices about what I put into my mouth. The big challenge is not giving up in spite of the high numbers I’m seeing on the scale and the self-defeating behavior that got me there.

1/21 – 203.8 – 12,823 steps yesterday. Yay! I met my goal for this round! Fasted yesterday. I like seeing the weight drop after a fast and find it motivating, but skyrocketing back up isn’t fabulous. Focus on eating regularly today and working on avoiding mindless/binge eating.

Anabirgite · January 2021

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.

Goals
- Check into 10 Day Challenge
- Close all 3 Rings Apple Watch and Move and Exercise Minutes x3
- Tighten Logging of food for MFP- Measure everything and dirty the stupid dishes to measure my recipes and break them down

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12- 121.2 - Took my sleeping medication last night, did not sleep the night before and had massive migraine yesterday, quit pickleball after second game was becoming so nauseous. Feeling better this morning but stiff, hopefully will stretch before BSF this morning and play pickleball this afternoon.
01/13- 122.2 Out of the Blue..took me by surprise.
01/14- 121.0 Out of the Blue!!! Again! No Out to dinner, anything unusual.
01/15-121.6
01/16-121.0 Honestly so frustrated-Do not want to be TMI- But the elusive menopause is really getting to me and looking back may be adding to my frustration and not understanding what is going on with my body.
01/17-120.4 I am so hormonally screwed up and I am living in opposite world here! I read the Stickie on refeeds and thought I would try that Friday and Saturday- I just really felt I have plateaued. I did not go crazy but I took my daughter out for a Sushi lunch, had an almond biscotti at the car dealer's car wash, had a handful of chips with my glass of wine last evening- still logged everything and was just a smidgeon under. Shocked! Need to be prepared for a tomorrow pop up- but will be happy about today.
01/18-122.4 It seems I somehow did not post my yesterday rant - probably for the best- The predictable popup. Hormones getting more screwed up- Made an appointment with my Gyno.
01/19-121.4 This would seem normal, if all the other screwy stuff wasn't happening.
01/20-121.4 Still extremely hormonally screwed up, made appointment with doctor scared what recommendations will be. Feel so out of control of body right now.
01/21- 121.0 A very sideways 10 days. I hope my hormones will subside on own but still getting worse. Will just continue to plug along and hope doctor can prescribe something.

01/21 - 148.4 - Well, at least I'm heading back in the right direction. Still feeling a bit puffy/bloated, but definitely better than yesterday, which I'm happy for. Fasted a few minutes shy of 17 hrs (as long as I'm +/- 15 minutes of goal, I'm happy -- Even happier when I exceed. I often forget to set my app and estimate fasting start time). Still rehydrating and managed a nice 75oz to help the cause. Out of my 5gal water jugs so need to go fill those today. I put it off because rain and the refill station is outside and luckily had a few bottles of water from our time working the land to hold me over (our tap water is drinkable, but horrible).

Previous Day's Comments

01/12 - 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.
01/16 - 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.
01/17 - Quite expected. Not a ton of water and late dinner out. Broke fast at 10.25hrs and glad I ate before we left. Next meal wasn't until dinner and I didn't feel hungry until I started eating. Boy did my body need it, I felt so much better after - guess I didn't realize how weak I was feeling. Sore today and retaining water, as expected. We all helped Fam "break ground" on the new land by clearing out some brush and digging a fire pit and building a stone ring from large rocks we found throughout the property. 16k steps and lots of lifting heavy items for hours on end means I'll need some rest today to recover. Not sure food plan. Dinner was late so my fast doesn't end until 3pm so I have time to figure things out.
01/18 - Inching back down somehow. Ended up going back to the land to help bury a dead hog they found on the property and clean up some more. Only fasted 12hrs because of that. Luckily, when we came back, we had more of a linner and finished early. Water wasn't great, but I did focus on that once we were back from the land. I'm off work today so hoping I can run to the store to get gardening supplies. My seed starts are looking really wonderful and they will need to be potted soon. Rain tomorrow and Wednesday so want to get outdoors and do something relaxing - thinking of cleaning out my raised garden bed, as well.
01/19 - Pizza from our friend's bday celebration and lack of water. Yesterday was busy busy. BF needed new phone and he's on my account so I had to go with (he defaulted to iphone so I'm the only android left and I refuse to switch). Then off to the 2 farm/ranch stores to get supplies needed. Today I'm busy with work meetings so I'm chained to my computer -- bodes well for my water intake at least. Fasted 17hrs. Due to the celebration (things take longer when they're social distanced like that....urgh), my fasting is later. 16hrs should be easy, 17 will be more challenging but possibly doable.
01/20 - Water weight for sure. Finally got aout 70oz and I'm sure after 3 days of getting 30oz or less, my body is holding on to it. Fasted 17hr 20min yesterday. Dinner was early - baked chicken thighs with garlic butter noodles and green beans (what we had on hand). Fasting 17hrs should be easy today due to the early dinner. Yesterday was damp, but not much rain. Today I can hear the rain again so stuck indoors for me. Hopefully whatever we have today will allow a drop for tomorrow. Even if I maintain at last round's end weight, I'll be happy

01/01 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓
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.
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.
01/16 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Did a lot of stretching while working yesterday. I needed to, body was soooooore. Today I will try to get a dedicated stretch in as I'm having some major DOMS.
01/17 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Did a bit of a dedicated stretch using the couch during the football game to help loosen these sore muscles. It felt phenomenal! I'm running out of days to meet my goal so I'm hoping this week I have a chance daily to get some yoga in daily. I set a lower goal in hopes that I'd beat it! At least I still have time to! Weekends are usually harder, but I still have 2 work weeks that are easier if I'll just get off my butt to do it
01/18 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - My yoga got interrupted by BF saying the Verizon store was open so he could go look at phones (researched online but he wanted something small so had to see in person to really compare size before purchase). Got a couple good stretches in though while out and about, though. Aiming for yoga this morning as soon as meetings allow me a long enough of a break.
01/19 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Did a yoga for flexibility yesterday as I found it really is a nice stretch for my sore hammies. Still recovering from all the physical labor out at the land. Today I may repeat the same one for another, hopefully deeper, hammy stretch.

01/20 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Today I'm doing yoga. No matter what. I have time in between work meetings so I know I can fit it in.

@starrjulia8 I'm worried about you, the stress you are under and your safety. Hopefully you are able to talk to your twin as a release for those things that are weighing on you. I hope you are able to carve out some time just for you somehow.

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.

1/12 118.5 Popeye’s chicken and a biscuit. I had a headache all day yesterday and the spicy chicken helped for awhile. 🤷‍♀️It’s all good.
1/13 118.0 Fasting. Today our baby girl turns 48. She has been feeling not well this week but is continuing to teach from home. Remote school is clearly not working for the children of Las Vegas. Elementary kids who have always had A and B grades are, in many cases, failing. So sad.
1/14 117.5 Still fasting - currently at 38 hours. I feel great. Mammogram today-yippee.
1/15 118.0 My fast lasted 43.5 hours and my macros were good at the end of the day. No TMI x 2 days seems to be the big issue with fasting for me.
1/16 117.0
1/17 117.5 I spent several hours yesterday getting a new phone. I got sidetracked and never read the messages so will catch up tomorrow!
1/18 118.0 Uptick could be from all of the bacon I ate yesterday, as @musicsax said the other day. Soooooo yummy!
1/19 118.0 The last 2 evenings I have been eating a little salt because I was having foot cramps. Today we are hoping to have a meal with the neighbor who is moving to Tennessee tomorrow.
1/20 120.0 Totally expected after Golden Corral and 4 times my daily carbs! Also up VERY early!
1/21 119.5 Awake at 4:15, even worse than yesterday!

1/11 Plank 1:50
1/12 Minimal walking
1/13 Walked with neighbor. Wore 12# backpack which changes my posture and prevents lower back pain.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/12 - 170
1/13 - 169.9 stood very still on the scale as it couldn't decide between this or 170 for a second
1/14 - 169.2 jumped off the scale so it wouldn't change it's mind!
Shortened the IF eating window yesterday as I just wasn't hungry when the window usually opens at 11 a.m. Closed the window at the usual 7 p.m. I don't think IF 18:6 would be doable everyday at this point. Will be interesting to see what the scale says tomorrow as I will likely go back to 16:8 today.
1/15 - 170.0 stood on the scale a while thinking it would go back to 169.9. It didn't. lol Don't mind staying stable. Drops-&-Pops usually mean a whoosh is coming for me.
1/16 - 170.5. Always, always have the pie a’la mode!
1/17 - 169.4 not a whoosh or a low for this round but better than yesterday!
1/18 - 170.1 Drops-&-Pops. Somewhere there is a undecisive pound screaming to leave. lol
1/19 - 169 Not sure whether to cheer the "Drop" or brace for the "Pop":)
1/20 - 168.8 Crazy Eights! Will continue the longer IF today to try to hold this number for the next round. Thanks@CamandJarvisfor the additional fasting insights
1/21 -168.8 Hoping this will be the "high" for next round!

01/12- 134.6. Increase from yesterday, probably due to "sampling" two new (high-salt) recipes I tried out yesterday. Grateful for the slip, though, as it spurred me to search out this support/encouragement/accountability forum! Good luck, everyone!

01/13- 134.2. Got some stretching and indoor walking in yesterday! Goals for today: move for 20 minutes, drink at least 8 glasses of water, and stick to today's pre-tracked food plan.

01/14- 132.4. I met all of yesterday's mini-goals! And my body has been releasing some of the excess salt (and therefore water weight) from a couple of days ago. I got about an hour of walking in, along with some calisthenics. Goals for today: move for 25 minutes, drink at least 8 glasses of water, and stick to today's pre-tracked food plan! Let's have a great day, everyone!

01/15- 132.6. Didn't adhere to the pre-tracked macros, but still ended up within my calories. Walked for an hour, 20 minutes of calisthenics. This (small) bump up would usually make me waiver in my efforts (as silly as that may sound to some), so this morning, I am especially thankful for this group, and especially thankful for the long-term users who have posted previous rounds where they either didn't lose weight or even gained a bit, but kept going and went on to achieve their weight and health goals. Thank you very much!!
Today's goals: move at least 25 minutes, stick to pre-tracked menu, and drink 8 glasses of water.

01/16- 131.2. Made my way back to where I was right before this round started! Stuck to my pre-tracked menu, got in an hour of walking and a few push-ups and squats.
Today's goals: same as yesterday!

01/17- 130.2. Yesterday, I walked for just over an hour and did some squats and push-ups. Had some off-plan food in the morning, but ended within my calorie and macro goals. Today has been busy, but good, so far! That number was encouraging to see!

01/18- 129.8. I honestly did not expect to see the 129's in this round! Yesterday was a good day tracking-wise, and I walked for over an hour and a half. Some leg and arm exercises, too. Plan for today: stick to my pre-tracked menu, drink 8 glasses of water, move for at least 30 minutes, and *be in bed by 10:30!*

01/19- 129.8. Just baaaarely squeaked in under maintenance calories yesterday. It felt like anxiety eating but I can't think of anything that's giving me anxiety! I was also *technically* in bed by 10:30 last night (mini-goal), but didn't go to sleep until 11:30-ish. Sigh. Try again tonight. Got about an hour of walking and some calisthenics.
Goals for today: stick to menu, move for at least 30 minutes, drink at least 8 glasses of water, and get to be *asleep* by around 10:30!
Final push for this round! Let's keep going, everyone!

01/20- 131.4. Woke up with swollen extremities, so I'm guessing I had a little too much miso yesterday! Under maintenance calories, but skewed higher on carbs than my goal. I'm going to concentrate on a little more water and a little less salt today, and keeping my macros where they usually need to be in order for me to see a difference. I do feel positive today, though-- it was probably all the sleep I got last night! Lol
Yesterday I walked, lifted some free weights, and did some calisthenics.
Goals for today: stick to menu, drink at least 10 glasses of water, walk at least 45 minutes, lift, and asleep by 10:30!

01/21- 129.8. I drank water yesterday like it was my job in order to try to get my (suspected) sodium water retention down...and it seems to have worked!
Goals for today: stick to my pre-tracked menu, drink at least 10 glasses of water, move for at least 30 minutes, lift some weights/do calisthenics, and asleep by 10:30!

Thank you again for this forum-- I'm looking forward to the next round!

I’m not sure what happened to yesterday — it was morning, and then poof! bedtime. I’m really enjoying my Tenpercent Happier meditation challenge (free) and decided to get an annual membership (on sale @ 40% off). Today I’m diving into the Intuitive Eating meditation class as well as the challenge — I got a lot out of the book Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Triobole. Yesterday DH wanted to order from a lovely local Italian restaurant. Normally, I’d have gotten a high-calorie something with pasta, but I thought about what I really wanted and ordered a beautiful, satisfying salad of greens, Gorgonzola, and grilled chicken with raspberry-olive oil dressing, and a cup of minestrone. I think DH was a little jealous! 😁 I’ve also started researching bikes — I miss my bike (I sold it a few years ago when I was having some balance issues — turned out to be inflammation). We have many miles of beautiful walking & bike trails here, and every time I walk them, I think about riding, too. Between that and flower catalogs, I’m having happy fantasies! Hoping you’re all finding bits of joy.

1/13 - 1939
Woopsie! DH made his famous (!) chicken penne Alfredo last night, and I didn’t realize that was the plan when I had a healthy but hefty lunch. In the spirit of intuitive eating, I enjoyed both and moved on. Today I’m craving salad with canned salmon and a walk — supposed to be 40F this afternoon! I’m enjoying my meditation classes/sessions a lot. Last night I used one of the sleep meditations and wow, I fell asleep before the end of the session and slept really well (which I haven’t been due to thinking and pain, which is worse at night). All good.

1/14 - 1820
A bit more than I’d planned, but not terrible, and I went for a lovely 3-mile walk in the afternoon. Hope to do the same today. Wishing you well!

1/15 - 1817
Yesterday was lovely — mid-40s and sunny, so I got a nice walk in. This morning is cold with “wintry mix.” But it is January in the American MidwestI feel a bit puffy this morning — we had gyros yesterday. I ate just the meat, veggies, and tzatziki, but I think it was a tad salty. I also splurged on a cranberry-orange muffin my neighbor brought over. I met my meditation goal yesterday. Planning a light food day today plus some writing, reading, knitting, meditating, and who knows? Maybe housework? Nah! ❄️🥗🧘🏻🍳🧑🏻‍💻🧶📖❄️

1/16 - 1839
It’s a beautiful, cold morning, trees laced with snow. Beautiful to look at, slippery to walk on. I think I’ll make a nice soup or vegetarian chili. Have a lovely Saturday, all!

1/17 - 1983
Met my meditation goals. Ate a bit more than planned. Took two 20-minute walks. I’m thinking of rearranging my office today — moving my heavy desk should be a little exercise! Enjoy!

1/18 - 1525
Meditation goals - ✔️ Calories - ✔️ No walk — I started, but we had “wintry mix” and it was slick slick slick. I did rearrange my office, including my big, heavy desk, so there’s that. I made really yummy no-bread salmon patties last night with an extra for lunch today. We watched Brittany Runs a Marathon last night — not as funny as I expected, but wow, the “fat girl” stuff hit home. Brought back memories of training for the half marathon I ran in 2017 and pumped me up to get back to training this spring. Maybe not a running half, but at least a 10K. But not on icy paths! Stay warm & healthy, all!

1/19 - 1281
Meditation & calorie goals - ✔️ Short walk + stretching and a little strength training. I believe my mindful eating meditation course is having an effect — I’m thinking about what I eat, how much, and - the biggie - why. I baked cookies for DH yesterday, but didn’t even sample. I thought about it, realized that wasn’t really what I wanted, and waited until later, when I had one square of 72% dark chocolate. I did have popcorn — which is about to become our state snack! — last night, which was within my calorie goal, but I’m going to work on changing that habit eventually. One thing at a time.

1/20 - 1820
Meditation goal - ✔️ A bit high on calories, but not horrible.short walk. All good! Even if my weight isn’t down tomorrow, I feel I’ve made progress this round. All good!

1/21 - Weight 183 — 2215
I’m fine with the steady weight as I work on reducing my food obsessions. I’m starting to realize (duh) that, although daily tracking is often a good practice, and has worked for me in the past, during this strange time through which we are traveling, it may be giving me permission to eat when I’m not actually hungry — “oh, I still have 53 calories available, I’d better use them because metabolism, woops, now I’m 150 over my goal, ok, what’s another few (hundred)? Oh, hey, I was under my goal yesterday, let me have some extra today....” I also wonder whether constantly tracking, planning, etc., makes food more central than it deserves to be in my mind. Does that make sense to anyone else? Anyway, next round I’m going to try not tracking daily calories. (I’ll enter breakfasts so I’m “checked in.”) The experiment continues! See you next round!

Goals for 2021 — Meditate most days. Walk most days. Eat mindfully.

Goals for this round:
- Get outside with the kids at least once a day
- No snacking after dessert at night
- Continue the beginner plank challenge

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.

1/16 - 131.4 - *wince*. Time of month starting and just a rough day mentally led to way too much snacking yesterday, and this is the result. I need to find something else I can do for a quick mental “pick-me-up” - I don’t want to keep using food as a treat, but my other go-tos that help me feel better (reading, coloring, bubble bath) all require time and solitude. And those are things in very short supply for me. I did HIIT and core workouts this morning, and continued my plank challenge. I’ll try and fit some Beat Saber or a hike in today too to try and make up for yesterday.

1/17 - 132.0 - Wrong way! I know it’s just time of the month affecting the scale. Hopefully I’ll be back to normal by the end of the round. Beautiful spring-like weather here this weekend - went on a 3.5 mile hike with my daughter this afternoon. Didn’t get to exercise this morning - though giving a toddler “horsie rides” is a pretty good core workout - but I did make sure to do my plank.

1/18 - 130.8 - I was relieved to see that number on the scale this morning - even when I “know” it’s just the time of month and it shouldn’t last, a little part of me is freaking out and thinking I’m going to regain every pound I’ve lost. I did my plank challenge plus strength and dance workouts on Fitness Plus this morning - now to stick to the meal plan today.

1/19 - 130.6 - I was hoping for more of a drop, but at least the number didn’t go back up. It was gorgeous weather yesterday, so the whole family got out for a nice long walk - today is colder and windy! Not sure about taking the kids out when the wind is this strong. I did 45 minutes of Beat Saber and a core workout this morning, plus my plank. Hard to believe I’m really able to hold it for a minute and a half now!

1/20 - 131.0 - Where did that come from? I do feel very heavy, tired and bloated today, but I can’t think of what I ate that would trigger this. Struggled through my workout this morning and really wish I could go back to bed, but that’s not possible. At least I’ve got a solid meal plan for the day and I’m excited to watch the inauguration (especially to explain to my daughter the importance of the first female VP).

1/21 - 130.2 - That’s a great number to end the round on for me! I’m aiming for 1 lb a week at this point, and my trend line on Happy Scale is right on track. Feeling much better today too - did some Ring Fit and a HIIT workout this morning and felt solid doing my plank. Thanks all for this round and see you in the next one!

Total Round Loss: 1.6 lbs

30 day beginner plank challenge! Goal is to be able to hold the plank for 2 minutes by the end of the month. Will be doing them in front of a mirror to confirm proper form.

1/12 - 60 secs - Done!

***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.
1/16 -
1/17 -
1/18 -Weigh in Day - 135.8 lbs. I'm not great at checking in on weekends, just too busy here with the family around. But I stuck to my plans, ate well, worked out, etc. We did have sushi Saturday night and I overate AND it was full of salt AND on top of that my TOM started so I was a little concerned about weighing in today but overall, I'm happy with the number. Planning to play some pickleball today and will move my scheduled workout to tomorrow.
1/19 - Still on track, wish I could figure out why sometimes I am super motivated and sometimes I have none whatsoever. Will ride this out as long as I can. Played pickleball for 2 hours yesterday and worked out/walked on treadmill today. Drinking my protein smoothie and have a healthy dinner planned.
1/20 – Boy was I tired yesterday! Did not sleep well at all the night before and was just so very done by 6pm last night. But I stayed on track, got my workout in, stayed within calories. I did end up spending the last 3 hours of the day on the couch reading though 😊. Playing some pickleball tonight in the freezing cold. Only 1 day left, let’s finish strong!
1/21 -134.8 I’m very happy with this number. Not sure it will stick because I did not eat enough yesterday on top of a 2 hour workout. Looking forward to the next challenge!

Total loss this challenge: 1.6 lbs.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12 194.0 First time in a long time I did not walk for lunch. I got in 15 minute last night to make up for it.
01/13 192.9 Wow Hard work paying off. I went to a restaurant yesterday and the calories is so high and half my plate was vegetables. January is such heavy birthday month. Five so far with cousins, sisters and friends, not to mention the twins are turning 4 on the 26th of January.
01/14 194.0 Not surprised to see a fluctuation but still trying…
01/15 193.3 13831 steps 1995 calories keep trudging along. I have small birthday get together today. I am making buffalo chicken and shrimp pasta.
01/16 194.6 Mini party yesterday This is not bad. 9075 steps, morning workout, some paperwork.
01/17 194.2 So very busy. Working in the house laundry, afternoon walk overdid things 18380 steps.
01/18 194.7 Tired today.
01/19 193.2 Still tired and sore. I fought snacking last night with boxing gloves. My almost 4 year old got kicked out of daycare today. I am spitting fire. I missed my workout during lunch. Her father
01/20 191.4 Very shocked about this number and not sure I believe it. My scale also indicated low battery. Between lack of sleep and stress my heart rate maintenance is very high.
01/21 193.0 yesterday 12715 2277 calories in no surprise in about the uptick. Oh well.

@Tesha231 Thank you for your words of kindness. My twin is feeling the winter blues so I am leaving her be right now. I am just very concerned and don't know what my next step will be. Thanks for listening.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12 165.6 ~ {Steps 17,554} ~ I’m really focusing on my morning walks and nighttime yoga. It’s helping my sleeping habits.
01/13 165.6 ~ {Steps 10,063} ~ Today didn’t go as planned but on the bright side, I didn’t get my emotions, yay!
01/14 165.4 ~ {Steps 17,460} ~ It was a gorgeous day outside so I got a marvelous walk in this afternoon plus the day few by so snacking didn’t play a factor. Tonight I’ll definitely get some yoga in.
01/15 165.4 ~ {Steps 12,356} ~ Fantastic day except at night I decided to make hubby homemade biscuits and my night time snacks started unfortunately. Hence the scale increase..
01/16 166.2 ~ {Steps 23,218} ~ Now, I’m trying to undo my slip up from yesterday. I didn’t have any major plans so since it was a gorgeous day, I was able to get a few walks outside....
01/17 166.6 ~ {Steps 12,727} ~ Even after the horrible text I received from my ex SIL, I didn’t turn to food. I’m definitely learning not to eat my emotions, yay! My my husband decided he wanted pizza but I decided to eat what my plan was, yay.
01/18 165.8 ~ {Steps 4,967} ~ I spent the much needed day with my daughter and grandkids, making healthy food choices.
01/19 165.8 ~ {Steps 12,402} ~ My husband and I went to our favorite park it was well worth the1 1/12 drive, even though we had to have lunch in the car!
01/20 166.8 ~ {Steps 13,136} ~ I don’t understand the hike in the scale, my sodium and calorie intake was good, oh well hopefully tomorrow the scale will drop.

01/21 166.2 ~ {Steps TBD} ~ I didn’t get to my goal weight but on the bright side I did finish the challenge that’s a big win in my books! Yesterday I couldn’t get into my mojo but I was able to make healthy food choices so a big win for me. I’ll be back tonight to finish this round out for me!

👍🏼👍🏼 This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE. 👍🏼👍🏼

My goals are EARLY morning workouts and NIGHTLY YOGA

Long term goal is to get back to maintenance by SUMMER, JUNE!

January goals
1 Log everything!
2 Morning walks (except Sundays)
3 Yoga (3 to 4 times weekly)
4. Minimum sweets (work them in my calorie goal)
5. Control boredom and emotional eating
6. Keep negative thoughts at bay!

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.

01/16 …..207.0 ….. Clearly the choices are keeping me from major gaining, but not helping me to kick-start this journey again and start losing. I am going to have to tweak, and I know it is in the snack dept. I slept over 6 hours last night, which is unheard of! Yesterday was a 100% rest day. Actually went to bed at 6:45 pm to watch tv until my usual late. Did NOTHING all day, just because I’m retired now and can! Felt tired, really, and listened to my body. Slept in later than usual getting in the extra hours and feel better today for it.

01/17 …..206.8 ….. Yay!!!! Finally, a 6. Thrilled! Also happy that I have not typed in blue this round so far. I hope to keep that up!

01/18 …..206.2 ….. I’m very happy with this. Dare I peek toward the 5? One thing I must share/ask. Sometimes this feels like a TMI game. I don’t go and I gain (or stay the same if I’m very very lucky). I finally go (after 2 or 3 days) and I lose. Sometimes it feels like it has NOTHING to do with my diet or exercise or the many things I give up to achieve my goal. It just seems like it just depends on potty. Intellectually, I know that’s not true but it sure is starting to seem like it. Anyone else feel this way?

01/19 …..205.6 ….. Small changes are adding up. Not perfect yet, but finding out what works without dropping my glucose levels and creating an “incident” or a “feeding frenzy” is a tricky science. So far so good on my experiments.

01/20 …..205.2 ….. Continued progress. My carbs were a bit higher than desired yesterday but my calories were on the lower side and I’m burning a TON of calories with hard work in my new house. It’s all paying off.

01/21 …..205.4 ….. A slight fluctuation. OMAD yesterday with very low calorie. Squeezed in extra water too. I am down 1.6 lbs this round which is more than I could have hoped for. I am looking forward to the next round.

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 Steps
January 15 – 5545 steps on a rest day.
January 16 – 7244 Finding it difficult in retirement (and dead of slippery winter) to get my 10,000 steps in.
January 17 - 5291 I am still not making my step goal. So much harder when you have to work for them and not get them automatically at work like I used to. Gotta focus on this.
January 18 – 10,281 steps.
January 19 – 11,597 steps.
January 20 – Missed the count
January 21 – 8266 steps yesterday. Spent most of the day running errands. The evening with a visiting friend.

@Quiltingjaine I want to know if you actually did those moves, including all the facial stuff!

So I had to look this up to see what you meant @SModa61 and I was NOT ready for that. I had tears in my eyes That escalated very quickly (and BF gave me some very crazy looks - he could only hear what I was watching)

Though I have done that tongue out move (Lion's breath or something like that) watching one of YWA's videos. I felt so silly

@camandjarvis I had no idea the tongue/face moves had any yoga or exercise basis. Was the first I ever saw anything like that and having that those moves be my first introduction was making me wonder about the woman.

Previous days

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.
01/15 116.0 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.
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!
01/16 Didn’t post
01/17 Not sure if I want to weigh today. TOM started yesterday and was super crampy. Dinner was a bit salty, so my face is feeling a little puffy today. I might try to drink some dandelion tea to help the puffiness and just get plenty of water. I made whole grain pancakes yesterday for breakfast and they tasted like apple cider donuts because instead of milk I used apple cider. They were so tasty and reasonable calorie wise as well!
01/18 Let’s be real... this weekend was a bleep show food wise except for the whole grain pancakes. TOM caused me to be really uncomfortable and didn’t help me food wise. I did end up doing 30 minutes on the spin bike yesterday and a 45 minute yoga session. So, at least my activity is consistent. I’m a work in progress with food but at least 85% of the time it’s solid. The good thing is that I love healthy food, but I also love food that isn’t good for you all the time.
I also attempted a longer fast yesterday but that didn’t go so well and I realized I do best on the 16/8 15/9 style of fasting. Personally, I just get too hungry on the longer fasts and am not a happy camper.
I plan on making some soup today to use up some CSA produce that’s lingering around here. I’m thinking a potato, onion, and leek soup. I also have a head of cabbage that I’ll be making a big slaw with to eat as salad for the next few days. I also plan on making some apple sauce with apples we still have around. Tonight’s dinner will be the leek and potato soup with a little bit of steak on the side and the slaw for a veggie. Breakfast will be something healthy whether it’s eggs and toast or oatmeal with peanut butter and some other fixins…haven’t decided but I still have a couple hours to figure that out.
This morning, my husband and I both have the day off and plan on driving down to Newport, RI to get out of the house for a bit and to see a beach we haven’t seen (since I was a kid and he hasn’t ever).
01/19 Didn’t get a chance to post today but clocked in at 119 due to all of the salt and food this weekend. My day really got away from me!
01/20 116.8 Hopefully I can squeak out some of this water retention but I’m ok if I don’t by tomorrow. I’m starting to feel really comfortable in the way my body is and the past few days even with the water retention I didn’t “feel” it in my face and body. So, that felt like a bit of a win. I think the consistency with doing yoga and spinning is finally starting to transform my body a bit. I’ve noticed a few changes over all and makes me worry less about the number unless I can “feel” the weight change.
Dinner tonight will be take out because I am driving all over the place. Starting by driving up to Burlington to pick up our CSA, then stopping to pick up food, heading to dad’s to pick something up, then to my in laws to meet the architect to see what he can do to finish the basement/add a full kitchen & bathroom for when we move back, then heading home to Foxborough.
So I chose to get a chicken kabob dinner with my sides being mixed veggies and a garden salad, homemade pita bread and Greek dressing to dip.

01/21 Today has been another busy day with driving back and forth from my apartment to Boston because I had to run into the office real quick. Food was solid all day though. Breakfast was left over chicken (9oz) from my dinner last night dipped into 3 tbs Greek salad dressing and an apple on the side sprinkled with Trader Joe’s cinnamon cocoa sugar mix. My snack was a TJ’s Fiberful bar, 2nd snack was a few dried figs, then dinner was 3ish oz piece of rib eye steak, roasted sweet potatoes and kohlrabi, and a salad with cranberry goat cheese and honey sesame cashews drizzled with orange and raspberry vinegars. Dinner was by far my favorite meal for today.

01/12 Did a 60 minute yoga video and plan on doing a 30 minute spin bike video during my lunch break 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.
01/16 Did not post but managed to do a 35 minute yoga video but that was it for activity.
01/17 I plan to do yoga and mayyyyybe a 20 minute spin bike ride. (Successfully did 30 minutes on the spin bike and 45 minutes of yoga)
01/18 I plan on doing a 45 minute ride this afternoon and yoga at some point as well. (Didn’t do the yoga but managed a spin bike ride)
01/19 Didn’t have a chance to post. Did a 20 minute yoga video I think it was and completed a 30 minute spin video.
01/20 Completed a 40 minute vinyasa flow yoga video and a 45 minute spin bike ride.
01/21 Completed a 50 minute yoga video and 30 minute spin bike ride. I got a mini walk in when I had to run into the office because the garage is like a half mile or so from my office.

End of round reflections: Over all I’m very happy with this round regardless of the blips up from a salty weekend. I had a mentality win after realizing that I’m getting more comfortable with the way I look and how things are changing in a good way. Another win for this round was the amount of spin bike rides I did and the duration of them has increased. The 30-45 minute rides are starting to feel a little less long to me. So that’s been nice! I also did 6 rides last week instead of 5.
