How is your grandson doing now? Last I heard, he was coming along nicely. I hope that is still the case! Thanks for the positivity and hugs. Its certainly nerve-wracking but I know its also a life-saving measure which induces a touch of excitement. I'm an emotional mess with all these contradicting feelings flying about my head.
He is still doing very well thank you, it's his 1st birthday on Tuesday! He did have a bad week just after Christmas; he had an infection believed to be in the line which is still in into his heart and he also tested posotive for Covid, they took him into hospital and was on both IV and oral antibiotics, which quickly brought his temperature down. After a few days he was right as rein and discharged home. He is still very small; at the lowest end of the centiles, but the happiest and nicest disposition baby you could met. He is a bit behind in his development, but I think that is to be expected with the fact that he was in hospital and very seriously ill for 2 and a half months, and he is catching up slowly. He loves life and his food!! He is awaiting an appointment to have the line removed, but like all non-emergency theatre procedures it is delayed due to covid.
I remember vividely that 12 hours he was in theatre and the weeks after until he "turned the corner"; so emotionally worrying, not sleeping and not being able to support DD & SIL by being with them or visiting cuz of the covid restrictions. Not good memories, but them the joy and gratefulness to all the surgeons, consultants, doctors & nurses who did their "magic" (and gratitude to the donors family), to know he had been discharged home to his family, seeing the photos of him with his 2 year old brother - priceless. We still couldn't visit because as he had no immune system he was in isolation at home, we had to do with waving to him through the window.
You shall all be at the fore front of my mind in these next few weeks, I'm hoping everything goes perfectly to plan and that he will be home running around soon xx.7 -

1/22 = 132.2 Ordered a single-serve NutriBullet yesterday with gift certificate I received from work. I only have one smoothie recipe (frozen strawberries+yogurt+milk) , so any recipe/website/book suggestions would be appreciated! I am good at following directions, but not so good at just "throwing things together" when it comes to food. Maybe it will come with recipes, who knows. I'm hoping this will be a way to get a healthy breakfast in---or at least a step in the right direction...plus to be perfectly honest it looked like fun and I do love gadgets:)

Goals for this round:
- Finish the beginner plank challenge
- Complete my Apple Fitness challenge for January: Earn a total of 25,900 Move calories this month.
- Get below 129 lbs
1/22 - 130.2 - Starting this round at the same weight as the end of the last one. I’m happy that the drop held, but we’ll see about tomorrow. Friday is our family movie night and I’ve budgeted calories for popcorn and a drink, but it will still be a sodium hit. I did 45 minutes of cardio this morning and about 10 minutes of weights - I meant to do 20 but the kids needed me and I didn’t get back to it. I’ll just have to fit it in tomorrow.

Hot summer days forecast this week (in Australia), my garden and I am not looking forward to it, Onwards!
SW: 190.0/86.2
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!
01/21 = 86.7
01/22 = 86.2
I slept in and it's warm already
It'll be Hot tomorrow (and the whole weekend) so I'll start trialing my "Liquid fast technique" tomorrow, today I'll just try to eat normally and keep a short rein on snacking.
01/23 = 86.2
The plan for today is porridge, juice, and soup -no solids- during the daylight hours, to hopefully curtail my tendency towards mindless snacking whenever the temp gets much above 38/100 degrees
*fingers crossed*

Well there was a hiccup - white blood cell count high. Fear of infection. But after several more tests, surgery being moved up, a decision to move forward, and pushing surgery back to original time, my beautiful little boyfriend (he calls me his girlfriend and I proudly wear that badge) is in surgery.
It's an 8 hour surgery, started at 4. Just got updates a few minutes ago and he's doing great. His old liver is nearly removed and his new liver was delivered to OR. Mom and dad emotional, frantic wrecks but they're doing ok. Still texting us and joking, likely trying to use humor as a distraction. All is well. Likely won't have update until morning but wanted to share that there's no going back. When he wakes up, he won't be itchy anymore for the first time in his 2.5 years of life and that's going to be the greatest gift.
Thanks, all, for your love, support, positive thoughts, and prayers. This boy is the toughest I know and this is just the beginning of his best life ever, I can feel it. I feel at ease. Well, as at ease as one can be.12 -

Thank you @playhardkf2017 It also has very good reviews on Amazon. It's available used for about $6 which I think is very reasonable (2.50 plus 3.99 shipping haha), so I'm going to try it out!

JGM10D Round 139
Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
January focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2021 Focus:- Maintain weight < 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

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.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

1.22 it's been a rough few days. But I'm checking in because my goal is consistency over perfection. I went over calories. But I drank 64oz of water and took a very happy dog for a walk so I would have something to be proud of. See you all tomorrow ❤10
-
@homemademama Your post resonated with me. Thanks for being authentic; you will succeed with your goals. You had a few rough days and chose to move forward. I took a couple days off also, been stressing over our country and did some emotional eating (which I haven't done in a long time). Did a lot of reflection and once again reminded myself that the only control I have is over myself. I am so grateful to be here once again and get back on track. So I think we are both have proven that we can move through our challenges, preserve, and thrive. We can do this! (My dog went round the block several time too )6

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 139 (round 71 for me ) I'm in for another round as I need this to help me keep on track! 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 ! Long term goal is to get and then stay under 130; then full maintanece starts and dare I say it is in my sights?
Challenge for this round – dare I hope to get into 130s for the end of the round? I've not been that low since June 2019! 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!
Hoping to complete 5K run by end of this round.
Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind, continue to follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus. Be positive for the vaccine – its here and inoculation has started! Take it when offered.End of round 69 134.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
01/22 130.2 – Whooowhoo !! Knock me down with a feather ! I didn't expect that! I had set my goals last night daring myself to get into the 130's during this new round and here I am on day 1!! So my amended goal is to stay within the 130's and maybe sneak down below 130? The later is a big ask with these whooshes the last 2 consecutive days. 8.86 miles yesterday including 17 minutes running. I really struggled yesterday with the running: I was aiming for 30 minutes after doing 28 & 29 on Monday & Tuesday respectively, but after 15 minutes I was pushing myself, oh well, try again today.
01/23 130.2 - 10.03 miles yesterday including 23 mins running – looks like I've got to build my time up again! Good food day, it's helping that I pre log food for the day at breakfast tweaking it slightly as the day goes on.

The Women's Health Big Book of Soups and Smoothies is an awesome cookbook! I found it at Barnes and Noble a while ago on their sale shelves. It's totally worth it! I've loved every smoothie I've made from it so far!
Thank you @playhardkf2017 It also has very good reviews on Amazon. It's available used for about $6 which I think is very reasonable (2.50 plus 3.99 shipping haha), so I'm going to try it out!
You’re welcome! That’s a good deal! I think I paid $10 for my copy. Enjoy it and let me know what you think!4 -

01/22 174.2 Did well with food choices all day long. I was hungry yesterday afternoon, but managed to snack on just berries and a few almonds and made it to the dinner I had planned without blowing it. Continuing my No Junk Food Challenge this round. It has become a staple for me. I think I've only messed it up one day in the last 11 days and it is helping. IF yesterday was 18:6.
01/23 174.6 My husband’s birthday dinner and a little dessert was last night. I did really well though, only ate half my dinner and less than half dessert. We enjoyed ourselves and I didn’t go overboard, so I’ll call that a win! IF was 16:8.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/22 - 145 - Starting the weekend at the top of my maintenance is not how I like to start it. I'm going to track food today and the rest of the weekend so I can try to maintain this weight and not bounce up even further.
01/23 - 145 - First Saturday of tax season in my office. I drove by a McDonald's on my way in and thought of stopping for an egg muffin with hash browns, but I resisted. We'll have a catered lunch today, and I'll try to make good choices or at least make sure my portion size keeps me within a decent calorie range.

01/22 - 147.7
01/23 - DNW - Up and moving quick. Had to pick up FamHub's truck from service this morning before heading to the land. Gathering sandwich-making stuff, packing water (since we definitely thought there was water yesterday and there was actually NOT any water), and heading out to the land all day. Godson's surgery ended ahead of schedule at 9:55pm. He did great. The only concern is the bile buildup in him - likely to cause constipation and will need to be carefully addressed. At this point, he is in ICU until they deem him stable and healthy enough to be moved into regular hospital room (typically about 5-10 days). The fight is on, but he's definitely his daddy's boy and his daddy is a stubborn you-know-what (in a good way). Even mama is stubborn as all get out so he's got it going for him from both sides. He's certainly not one to give up, that's for sure. Now we wait until the boy can come home healthy and happy. By sounds of it, he may not need the full 60-ish days (between ICU, hospital stay, and the post-hospital stay in which they have to live no more than 30 minutes away) but time will tell. Shout out to the wonderful surgeons, docs, nurses, aids, and all others who helped this process along for my boy to have hope for a long and beautiful life. They're absolutely the best for doing what they do

FamHub had appointments for his '86 to get an alignment (just rebuilt front end) and to pick up telephone poles for building material for some project on the land. No updates from them yet. Fasted 17.5hrs, drank 75oz water. Didn't sleep well at all so hopefully tonight I can rest easier.

Dedicated Stretching: 10/15 Daily incorporation: 22/3101/01 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓01/22 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - I'm sore today. If I'm able to do yoga, it won't be until tonight. FamHub's truck returned home and as soon as BF finishes gathering items, we are on our way to the land for the day. Will have plenty of chance to do some small stretching during my breaks to hopefully keep loose. Supposed to rain tomorrow so, depending on that, tomorrow may be my stretching day. All day haha!
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.
01/21 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - I debated considering my little stretch "dedicated" and decided it really wasn't enough by my definition to call it that. I did try, though, so its better than nothing. Couldn't quite get yoga done due to things popping up. About to do a quick practice now before BF wakes up to run these errands (8am appt for truck)

So in round 138, I unexpectedly reached the goal weight I specified back at the beginning of my first round, #127. So by rights, I should be switching to maintenance. BUT, since Round 139 ends exactly on January 31st and Round 140 will align perfectly with all the other 1-month challenges and am going to stay the course one more round and see what that brings. If nothing goes awry, then I will start maintenance with round and with all my challenge starting in sync, I hope to give some real thought to my February challenge goals and watch cause and effect.
Goal for 139 – See what happens. :P
