Day/Comment

1/22 - met goals, although my walk was short
Not tracking is weird after 6 years of doing it religiously, and of course my internal calculator has a pretty good sense of my calories & macros, but I’m not dwelling on the numbers, at least through this round. My daily mindful eating meditation class is making me very aware of what I’m eating and also how. DH is a “shoveler” and when I married him, I started eating faster so I wouldn’t still be eating 15 minutes after he finished. I’m working on getting back to eating slowly and savoring what I eat, even if I’m the last one finished! This morning I couldn’t finish my yogurt because I’d given myself time to realize I was full. I’m also looking at ways to cozy up all the rooms I spend time in, thinking I’ll find more comfort in my surroundings rather than in too much food too often.

1/23 - met goals
Yesterday was good. Today is very cold, but cozy inside, so all good. Enjoy your Saturday!

1/24 - met goals
DH wanted the lunch special from our fav Italian carry out yesterday, so I ordered house salad and minestrone— very satisfying, and enough salad that I split it between lunch and dinner. Excellent. I’m making no-bread salmon patties tonight — yummy! Not weighing and tracking is weird, but I think I’m doing pretty well (though I’m curious about the numbers, of course!) and will stick it out for the next week. Then I’ll see. Enjoy your day!

1/25 - meditated 30 min.
Ugh — ate too much yesterday. Too many morning carbs always encourage me to overeat later. This morning DH wanted French toast, so I had one piece instead of two and cooked the remaining egg mix into a mini omelette for myself. Good compromise, I think. The weather isn’t bad this morning, so I’m off for a walk before the snow and ice hit around noon. Whee!

1/26 - meditated 20 min.
The big storm system across the Midwest has mostly skirted us, but did lay down a nice slick sheet of ice, so no walk for me until it melts. I got on the scale before I stopped myself and though I’m not posting it, I wasn’t happy with what I saw, so this intuitive eating venture may not be working for me, or maybe it’s too soon to know. I’ll stick out the experiment for the rest of the round, then re-evaluate. Seeing everyone’s progress (and struggles) on here is inspiring & reassuring, so thanks for that.

Do we want another group exercise challenge for February? I don't want to force things on the group and maybe its time for a break, so I'll leave it up to y'all. If we want one, I'll get to work on a logo. I don't think I've even mentioned the January one to the new folks this round. Maybe this time, we look at a 10-day challenge instead of month-long??? Y'all just let me know if you're interested.

I personally do not have the tracking time for additional challenges beyond participating in a couple threads here, but certainly not opposed to others using this thread for common challenge. You have some great ideas!

@UTMom81 Somehow I missed your post asking this question. In my case, I have enjoyed including exercise on my daily posts and I can certainly continue to do this as part of my daily post with or without a challenge. As for the formality of a challenge, in the short run, I am not sure I have a definable goal that I could use for a challenge. Most days are "what can I do for exercise today" and I just improvise. That should improve in a few weeks, but I'll be winging it for now. Regardless of what you decide, thank you so much for adding this feature for us during these three months. I think it inspired many of us with new thoughts for exercise.

Round 139

Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 130.2
GW: 125

GW for this round: 128.5

Round 135 (10): 136.6 to 133.6 (-3.0 lbs)
Round 136 (11): 133.6 to 133.2 (-0.4 lbs)
Round 137 (12): 133.2 to 131.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 138 (13): 131.8 to 130.2 (-1.6 lbs)

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.

1/23 - DNW - Not a great day yesterday. I don’t know the final calorie total, but I definitely indulged in too many snacks and sweets on top of the popcorn. Chocolate is my big weakness - once I have any I start craving more and then I start justifying to myself why “one more” is ok. Well, the damage is done and today is a new day. I’m not facing the scale until tomorrow though. I still got some exercise in this morning despite the kids getting up early, and just snuck in my plank while they had lunch.

1/24 - 130.8

1/25 - 129.6 - I’m sorry I didn’t get around to checking in yesterday! It turned into a crazy day where I didn’t get to exercise until the afternoon, so my morning weight was higher than usual. Our not-quite-two year old tried to climb out of the crib twice on Saturday, so yesterday we converted the crib to a toddler bed. Now I’m not likely to get any sleep for the foreseeable future as we try and get him to understand he has to STAY in bed at night. Oh, an he’s waking up at 5 AM, which makes my usual “get up at 6 and exercise before he wakes up” kinda problematic. Hopefully things will settle into a new routine soon.

1/26 - 129.8 - I wasn’t expecting the sub-130 weight to stick, so that was a nice surprise! After the initial fight (he was just so excited he didn’t want to sleep), my little guy slept all night and didn’t get up until 7! It let me get a good workout in and hopefully I’ll have enough energy to keep up with both kids today. I want to do some Beat Saber or Just Dance tonight too in order to get my calorie burn up or I won’t hit the January challenge on my watch.

That sounds fun! I think it would be a good way to improve our mental health which is just as important as physical!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/21 …..205.4 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/22 …..205.2 ….. I am inviting my friend over tonight (the one that always brings me high calorie foods without notice) for dinner. I am making low calorie / low carb shish-kabobs. This time it’s MY choice for the menu lol. My friend is a friend of 20 years. He is male and can eat things without gaining which just isn’t true for this female post-menopausal body! No matter how many times I tell him, he just doesn’t get it. Anyway, I hope to dip into the 204’s by tomorrow or the next day. Persisting……..

01/23 …..206.2 ….. A wonderful low cal/carb dinner with my friend. Then, late night pop-tarts with milk. Just don’t do it folks!

01/24 …..206.2 ….. Drats! Tired today. Slept 3 hours 47 minutes.

01/25 …..208.2 ….. An unfair weight for what I ate but I had little to no movement yesterday. A very restful day. Back on track today is my hope. Shocking scale has awaken me!

01/26 …..207.0 ….. I’m not sure why it jumped so high yesterday (I checked it several times) or why it reduced so much overnight, but I’ll take it as inspiration to get these numbers moving back down again. However, I know I am not as strong as I was early in my journey. I’ve got to work on the mind and spirit too.

01/27 …..xxxxx …..

01/28 …..xxxxx …..

01/29 …..xxxxx …..

01/30 …..xxxxx …..

01/31 …..xxxxx …..

My Goal is to get my 10,000 steps in daily (like I used to!)

STEPS REPORTED ARE FROM DAY BEFORE

01/22/21 10,238 steps.
01/23/21 7229 steps. Busy with dinner guest. I made a nice low cal/low carb dinner but not much activity.\
01/24/21 7123 steps.
01/25/21 4024 steps. Pitiful!
01/26/21 5869. I’m just not moving enough in my new retirement phase of my life. I must make an inside plan since outside is too treacherous for a fall-risk person like me!

1.26: starting today with an empty house and I got to finish my coffee while it was still hot. It's been a rough week but I'm really proud that I've tracked even when I didn't want to - it saves me from having to re-start when I'm back to feeling like myself. Looking forward to a quiet day of working from home.

History:
Round 137
SW: 160.8lbs and EW: 157.6

SW: 160.8 lbs
CW: 157.6 lbs
GW: 140
Comment: I've lost 22 lbs since November 2019 using the slow and steady way (also have been doing time-restricted eating since November 2019, too - aka - I have smaller eating windows and practice intermittent fasting).
Goals over the next 10 days:
(1) Strength train minimum of 3 days a week
(2) Eat more nutrient-dense foods instead of processed crap
(3) Stretch every day - as I get older, I have gotten quite stiff. I have focused on stretching for the past several months and can really tell a difference.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/22: 156.6 (met all 3 goals yesterday – today will be rough because I am in virtual class and virtual meetings all day – staring at the computer is rough, and I hope I don’t make bad food choices)
01/23 - missed weigh in
01/24 - missed weigh in
01/25 - missed weigh in
01/26 - 157.7 (I have been working on not snacking at night and increasing strength training. With me really focusing on building muscle and strength, I am not surprised my weight is the same. I will focus on how my clothes fit and not stress the number on the scale.......clothes are a little looser....yay!)

@UTMom81 - I have really enjoyed the challenges and I have still to complete mine - the snow and ice are still lingering and until it clears I shall not be able to complete my 5K. If we have a new one it looks like yet again I shall be carrying mine over!!

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

@quiltingjaine How would the February LOVE challenge work?

SW:99.2 kg
GW:65 kg
CW:97.6 kg

Goals
- train every other day
- GW for the challenge: 96 kg
- Low carb
- reach my daily step goal (Garmin sets it higher every day)

Day/Weight/Comment
01/22 - 97.1 kg - reached my step goal and signed up for more PT sessions yesterday
01/23 - 96.8 kg - reached my step goal yesterday and look forward to PT today
01/24 - 96.5 kg - going in the right direction... reached my step goal, enjoyed my PT session and got a 4k HIIT run into the books yesterday
01/25 - 96.3 kg - reached my step goal by doing a 6k walk
01/26 - 96.5 kg - no idea why it went up again... I reached my step goal by doing a 1h walk/run on the treadmill and stayed within my calories
01/27 - 96.9 kg - again up... I think it's because I ate more carbs the last few days because I reached my step goal and stayed within my calories again yesterday... so hopefully just water

@UTMom81 How about a LOVE challenge for February? Just a little something different. Folks could love their daily exercise or love their neighbor or even some other aspect of their life. LOVE YOU, LOVE ME, LOVE LIFE?

Oh I LOVE this idea

Not sure what her idea includes, but I was thinking of writing down something I love daily, like gratitude. Example: I love my dog and her unconditional love when I have a bad day. Or I love my house that provides me shelter and comforts, despite all its issues.

Next goal: Lose 10lb by Valentine's Day Challenge
Aims:

Experiment with different strategies to mitigate stress eating.
Don't restrict KJ further to "make up" for overeating - it just creates more stress!

Day/Weight/Comment

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*
01/24 = 86
BMI Goal!

Daylight liquid fast seemed to help with snacking but I well and truly over-indulged in carbs in the evening, I don't think I can call it a perfect strategy... in an effort to reduce carb cravings I'll try up-ing my protein for the daytime meals today.
01/25 = 85.8
Hopefully a cooler day today!
01/26 = 85.5
Finally a significant cool change ahhh... maybe today I can peel myself off the furniture and actually DO something LOL

01/27 = 85.2 Halfway
Only halfway? Feels like this round has gone on forever!
I get to put some planters (I gave myself for Christmas) together today YAY!
