    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!

    01/22 - 134.6. Drink enough water and do yoga/stretch.
    01/23 - 134.4. Need to sleep better, light exercise, eat within goal and enough water.
    01/24 - 133.6. Didn't really get to move much yesterday. Ate within goal and was not feeling too hungry.
    01/25 - 134. Blah! Another pretty sedentary day yesterday. Plan is to workout today and try to get in more protein. Did not sleep well last night.
    01/26 - 133.6. Did yoga yesterday and ate healthy and within goal.
    01/27 - 133. Some progress, slow and steady hopefully. Trying to to do intermittent fasting 16:8
    01/28 - 132.2
    01/29 - 132.4. Really need to be more regular about exercise at least every other day.
    01/30 - 130.8. I am sure this will adjust itself with some gain in the coming days. Slept horribly but did yoga and I feel so much better for that.

    01/25: 217.8
    Yes, I am still here after a 5 week stay in a Sunnier Climate. I did do some walking, but unfortunately too much of it was walking to the kitchen. 😊 Time to pull up my big boy pants and get some discipline.

    Seriously, I had an exceptionally good time with family and worked remotely for some of that time. But that lifestyle will cut my life short if continued.

    01/26: 217.4
    This is disappointing, and a harbinger of the hard work I need to do. I was a good boy yesterday with calories, but kind of salty.

    It was so windy (and cold) yesterday, I didn’t have the heart to go for a walk.

    01/27:215.8
    That is better. I forgot how hard this is. 😊

    01/28: 216
    I was under calories yesterday, but boy was it salty. If asked, I may have to confess that I had a Culver’s Snack-Pack with Chicken Fingers at lunch with my wife.

    01/29: 215
    But the weekend is coming. I need to keep busy so my robotic impulse to open the cupboards is distracted.

    01/30: 213.8

    01/31: 214.4
    I will be happy with this considering where I was 6 days ago.

    5' 8" guy.

    Goals:
    -less than 1750 calories consumed per day
    -more than 2750 calories burned per day
    -check in every day
    -log all food
    -drink 2litres water per day


    SW: 220lb
    RSW: 210lb
    GW: Ultimately 160lb. For this round - 207lbs

    Day/Weight/Comment
    01/22 - 210.0
    01/23 - 209.4 (Pretty happy with this. Didn't do much exercise yesterday - though for the first time in three weeks of trying to limit calories I was really tempted yesterday to binge. I didn't - but think it might start to get harder!)
    01/24 - I didn't weigh myself yesterday as I wasn't at home in the morning.
    01/25 - 209.8 (slight disappointment at going up, but I had a pretty indulgent weekend, so not a bad outcome really).
    01/26 - 209.6 (this is ok - had an ok day yesterday. Under calorie goal and went for a long walk which my fitbit thought was a bike ride?!)
    01/27 - 209.2 (within calories yesterday, but only had a fairly short walk as it was raining)
    01/28 - 209.6 (disappointing to go up - hopefully just water weight as was below calories yesterday)
    01/29 - 209.8 (really frustrated as I'm keeping below 1750 calories each day, logging and tracking all calories in and burning at least 2750 each day)
    01/30 - 209.0 (better than yesterday, which is good. Burned a lot yesterday - 3700 calories per my fitbit. Won't be hitting my 207 goal this round, but that's OK. Progress is progress. Hoping that the sluggishness has been down to water weight - increasing my water intake, and increasing my calories on Saturday and Sunday to see if that might kick start some water weight loss).
    01/31- 209.8 (ugh - only recording this now but weighed on 31st. Disappointed to be back up, though this morning - 1st Feb - am back at 209. Hoping the plateauing will end soon!)

    01/22 192.7 14818 steps 1569 calories yesterday
    01/23 193.1 12159 steps 1551 calories TOM started no worries staying the course
    01/24 193.9 13995 steps 1697 calories lots of housework/ finished nothing
    01/25 193.2
    01/26 Twins 4th Birthday DNW Apparently I need a really need a battery for my scale could not get a number. Obviously I am really busy today so I am not sure I’ll have time to replace it.
    01/27 192.0 Replaced the battery this morning. 2253 in calories 13576 steps yesterday. I got the second half of COVID vaccine this morning. Just doing my part.
    01/28 193.3 13688 steps 1577 calories so either yesterday was a fluke with the battery change or the previous day cupcake.
    01/29 192.6 It’s not a bad number for the day. It’s very, very cold today outside. I will be walking the halls. 14153 steps and 1426 calories. This weekend will be a challenge putting together 2 low loft beds and taking apart they’re other beds.
    01/30 191.2 Very happy about the loss but very tired. Less than 4 hours of sleep. Hope to keep this loss because that would mean I made my monthly goal of 4 lbs.
    01/31 192.1 I didn’t make it but still ended the month and round with a sizable loss.

    • 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!

    Day/Weight/Comment

    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:)

    1/23 = 133.8 Had my hair done yesterday--had her put in some highlights for summer(haha--listen, it's never too early to be prepared for summer, amirite? LOL) I have deemed today Spa Day:) Sooooo...face mask, toenails paint, wax those eyebrows (and mustache--ackk the horror--nobody told me i would grow a stache when i got old O.O) Anyway, trying to do some self care and gathering my courage (and long johns!) to start C-2-10K...again. Monday weather says 31F so that's my target day. There----I said it "out loud", therefore now it must happen:)

    1/25 = 132.8 Skipped out on my exercise today, but did manage to get lots of steps after work, so not a terrible day:) Supposed to get some snow tonight! Hopefully we get just enough to be pretty, but not so much that we spend the next few days shoveling our way out!!

    **fell off wagon here**
