Day/Weight/Comment
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.
01/24 176.6 Birthday splurge continued, but it stops today! Late night snacking didn’t help and will make a meaningful IF today very difficult. But, I will narrow my eating window today so I can get back on track. I am meal planning this morning for the rest of the week. That always helps me, too.
01/25 175.2 Did well food wise yesterday, but I’m catching something that includes a cough/chest congestion, so didn’t do very much “exercise.” Have a good IF going today with a reasonable start time last night, so I’ll see how I do today. Happy Monday, everyone!

I finished last round the same as I started but my average weight was down. My aim this round is to get both down.
OSW 88KG
RSW 62.9 kg
Average last round 62.7 kg
01/22 - 62.55kg. Nice to start with a loss but even nicer to end with one! Gym done
01/23 - 62.4kg. The slow creep down begins. Rest day today
01/24 - 62.7kg. Yesterday quite high calorie. Today too
01/25 - 63.0kg. I expected this after yesterday. Back to the gym and back to a deficit.

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.
01/24 - Forgot to weigh
01/25 - 147.5 - Yikes! I know some of this is sodium but I also know that I made a few bad choices this weekend. Plenty of water today.

@CamandJarvis - such amazing news there for the little man, I'm hoping it continues positively for him. The miracle of an organ transplant is akin to a re-birth! My DD sends her love and best wishes too, she was very emotional when I passed the little guy's news on to her.
I had forgotten how our DGS's eyes were so white so quickly after his op (amazing how one forgets some things so quickly!), it was so obvious in all the photos DD sent to us.
The crazy part is how quickly! The doctors said it could be 2 weeks before his eyes show noticeable improvement -- when he woke up from his nap 14hrs post-op, BOOM white eyes. He's impressing all the doctors and nurses with how quickly things are turning around for the better. Never thought of it like that, but it really is like a re-birth! This boy is coming out kicking and screaming haha11 -

01/22 - 147.7
01/23 - DNW
01/24 - 150.6
01/25 - 150.4 - Expected - couldn't quite get water intake up the way I wanted, salty foods, shorter fasting, possible TMI and possible pre-TOM bloating (can't tell if its that or the other stuff combined, but either very likely). Today will be better. Fast started a tad later, but completely doable hitting 16-17hrs. Working/tied to my computer and therefore tied to my water cup and the 5gal jug in the other room for refills. Already halfway done with my first cup (30oz) which bodes well for the day. Though a full night of sleep (for me), tired due to being woken up mid-dream. Those are the worst! Always makes me groggy and a tad cranky.
GODSON UPDATE: No big news. Yesterday the plan was to work on sitting up. Today, if all is still going well, they'll try to incorporate food and drink. Doing really well so far

Previous Day's Comments01/22 - Shocked since I didn't sleep well last night. Today we have errands to run for Fam. 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.
01/23 - 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
01/24 - Pizza. Pizza. Pizza. Not shocked. Had it for dinner Friday, had it for lunch today, had it again for dinner yesterday. We had plans for baked chicken and rice for dinner but then we were helping watch Fam's daughter and distract her a bit (outside our house because she's scared of our hyperactive dog - dog isn't mean, but she's crazy and bigger than the daughter) and then it was too late to bother cooking. Didn't fast long - 14.5hrs. Was out push-mowing more milk thistle and other big brush so made a sandwich and felt a bit revived. Today, due to rain, we aren't going to work the land. Going to fast as long as my body is comfortable with it. Pulled out a pork butt to smoke while we chill and watch football. Also focusing on my water - I'm sure I need more than I have been drinking. Luckily I got time to drop back down and possibly still see a loss.
UPDATE: Godson's eyes are turning white! He always had such yellow eyes and they said one of the big indicators is his skin and eyes. Well, his skin had a pretty quick turn but when he woke up late yesterday afternoon, his eyes showed so much improvement. Those baby blues really going to be winning nurses over now! For the first time in 2.5 years, his bilirubin levels are ZERO! All else seems good. I believe today is the day they begin food and drink therapy

Dedicated Stretching: 11/15 Daily incorporation: 24/3101/01 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓01/24 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Debated checking dedicated for yesterday but decided it may have been short, but I did do a little focused stretching yesterday outside my daily. It wasn't much, but it was "dedicated" so I'll count it.
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)
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!
01/23 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Didn't get home until 11 and went STRAIGHT to bed. I'm definitely sore this morning and need a good relaxation stretch.

Day, Weight, Comment
1/22 – 204.4 -- 16,555 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. Started my TOM so hopefully this slight drop is not temporary. Focus today on controlling portions and being mindful of my eating (as usual!). We’re supposed to have a bunch of snow coming, so trying to get lots of steps in before walking close to home becomes more difficult and work starts back up in full swing next week.
1/23 – 204.8 – 10,437 steps, 30 min aerobics yesterday
1/24 – 205 – 10,103 steps yesterday. Felt exhausted and sore yesterday with no energy whatsoever and overate a bit. Fasting today.
1/25 – 202.4 – 10,345 steps, 45 min. aerobics yesterday. Big drop after Sunday fast. I think a lot of the ups and downs the last couple of weeks are related to my cycle. I’m hoping to stay below 205 PERMANENTLY (but not counting on it!). Focusing on being mindful of what I’m eating, avoiding mindless snacking, eating standing at the counter, cupboard, fridge, or table (as usual!).

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
Past 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?
- passed the -1 lb goal for round 138, and actually passed UGW of 129

Round 138 – starting weight 128.2
1/22 – 128.4 I mentioned in this rounds intro. Though now below original UGW, I am not switching to maintenance until round 140. Staying the course for these 10 days.
1/23 – 128.6 Blaming mostly salt and carbs. All ok. I have no great expectations for tomorrow’s weigh-in either though as tonight we are celebrating early my grandson’s 1st b-day with pizza and ice cream cake.
1/24 – 129.2 Last night was totally worth the gain. Celebrated my grandson’s first birthday, but early at 51 weeks. Had pizza and ice cream cake and did not worry about calories for the day. The extra special treat was when my grandson decided to finally walk for the first time! DD and I were sitting with him when it happened. “Grandpa” and SIL were getting on coats to pick up the pizza so Gpa missed it but SIL responded to our screaming and caught the last bit. At least there is some proof that we did not image it! Spent the rest of the evening trying to get a “do over”.
Other notes, exercise is not great these past days. Two factors – lots of distractions and low temps (today is 19° F with a windchill landing around 0°. Just not super appealing……. Three weeks until I start complaining that I am too hot!
Today, and most of the week is all pre-tracked so I'm ready to move forward!

I'm in S.A. (the south) I live on a farm in a sheep farming (dry) area, quite far out but not isolated (by Australian standards).

I live in Canberra. Moved here from Germany two years ago.
Hello fellow Aussie!
Canberra *sigh* it always looks so nice and green in photos
Floriade is on my list of things to get around to!
Do you get snow where you are? I'd love to see real snow one day.
Yeah... I love it. Green and you're out of the city in no time.
We don't get snow in Canberra but in the mountains nearby and it's not too far to Thredbo (for Australian standards anyway). I for once are happy without the snow. Already had enough in my life.
Let me know when you make it here.
And not technically an Aussie but I work on it 😁
Ah of course! I bet the snow isn't quite as exciting to someone who comes from Europe
So far I've got no set plans for a trip But I could always win the lottery! I'll make sure to let ya know if I get lucky and am swinging by
In my opinion, if you've been through an Australian summer and you stayed, you're an honorary Australian.3 -

▪︎Sa•1/23- DNW (Fr/22- 4:30pm, 6:30pm~18.5hrs) 65g carbs.Another bran flax muffin, another high carb day. Experiencing some TMI (unusual for me), the reason for eating muffin, but stewed prunes work much better for me. 🚫no more muffins
▪︎Su•1/24- DNW (Sa/23- 3pm, 4:30pm~20hrs) 22g carbs. Well yes I did eat another muffin. I was hungry this morning. Today we celebrated our 1st Grandson's Bday. The muffin kept me full all day and safe from wanting somethng even more carb and calorie laden. I'm good.

Previous days
01/22 117.4 Our scale has been weird lately along with my salt intake, so I don’t really know how much I actually weigh aha. I wish I had one of the old school scales that you were able to visually balance and then step on it. That would be ideal.
I hit Trader Joe’s today after PT and got myself some staples(I won’t list the staples) and a few fun things to try: Pork and ginger soup dumplings, coconut cream whole milk Greek yogurt, and artichoke, kale dip made with Greek yogurt, and a couple different types of crackers to go with it. I plan on having the dumplings tonight with a big salad if my husband wants take out. I’ll grab him take out and make myself the alternative. The dumplings are only 270 calories for a box of six. I’m excited to try them because I’ve read great things about them! The dip, crackers and yogurt will be my snack/mini lunch today. Happy Friday everyone!
01/23 116.6 Last night I ended up getting takeout with my husband, but I made it fit calorie wise. I was a little over but not enough to wreck my entire week. I decided that weight loss for me isn’t sustainable if I don’t make takeout fit into my life because by Friday night, we need a break from cooking/dishes/etc. We got Buffalo Wild Wings, he ordered what he wanted, and I got a black bean burger but omitted the ranch dressing (saving 170 calories) and selected no salt on my fries (saving tons of sodium). I also finished the wine I had in the fridge from last weekend (1 large glass worth~9 or 10 oz). Those little changes made a difference for me and I’m even down somehow from yesterday morning. The body is so weird… but I’ll take it.
Today, breakfast was two slices of high fiber toast with cream cheese on it and two mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups melted in (I had a chocolate craving and this stretched the chocolate flavor and I also stirred in some inulin fiber too), two eggs, and an apple cut up. It really hit the spot and clocked in at around 700 calories but it fits within my day(30 g protein, 58g carbs, and 37g fat so it was pretty balanced). My snack will be the artichoke kale dip with Akmak crackers and a fiberful peanut butter bar. Dinner will be panko crusted chicken breast with a large salad topped with cranberry goat cheese, sesame honey cashews, and raspberry vinegar.
01/24 Didn’t weigh today, just didn’t have a chance to before I drank and ate. Food was good today and I had a couple of non scale victories the past 2 days. Yesterday and today, I was able to resist fast food when given the opportunity to have it. Instead of getting myself a frosty last night I sliced up a banana and popped it in the freezer for a bit to have as a snack to go with my dinner. The sweetness and texture of the partially frozen banana did the trick for me. Today I just didn’t want it even though my husband did.
Today, I ate at maintenance because I was just hungry. Food was healthy overall but looking at the diary, the protein was a bit low. I feel like I definitely need to bump Breakfast was a failed attempt but still edible version of high fiber pancakes with a maple yogurt sauce instead of pure syrup, dinner was peanut noodles with whole wheat spaghetti topped with two eggs for protein and an orange for dessert, then a snack was akmak crackers with 4 tbs of the Greek yogurt artichoke kale dip.
01/25 117.4 Have a solid day of food planned. Breakfast will be a high protein smoothie with banana, cocoa powder, inulin fiber, oat fiber, plain egg white protein powder, Greek yogurt, and topped with sesame honey cashews plus some toast with butter on the side. Not sure about my snack. Dinner will be ground pork on top of bulgur with peanut sauce, roasted carrots and peas. Happy Monday!

Goals: Yoga every day! Spin bike at least 5 times per week with at least one 45 – 60 minute ride per week, two 30 minute rides, and two 20 minute rides.
01/22 50 minute heart opening vinyasa yoga video and I plan on jumping on the spin bike in a few for a 20ish minute ride. Then, I’ll do my afternoon walk when I’m done with work.
01/23 I started my day with an hour yoga video and then a killer 30 minute spin bike video. Then, I’ll have a bit of a walk later today when have to run into the city to get vaccinated.
01/24 My husband and I went for a walk at a nearby reservoir clocking in at 1.5ish miles and then I did about 15 minutes of yoga. My body was tired today, so I listened to it and rested it a bit.
01/25 I plan on doing a 30 minute spin bike video and some yoga today. Didn’t have a chance to do yoga this morning because I needed sleep instead.
