You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

Female, 5’3”, 60
2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
GW: <200 in 2020 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese

My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

New challenge … no more sugar free chocolate as a snack in February! I’ve gotten addicted and I really never cared much for chocolate LOL

I started eating just a couple of the sugar free Russell Stover dark chocolate mix pieces a day back in October and realize looking at my journal that I'm eating 5-6 pieces a day now. This is absolutely CRAZY!!! Though the net carbs are low the calories are still there. Each piece is 1 net carb but ~60 calories! So I'm eating 300+ calories when grazing chocolate because I'm stress, bored, or whatever. This is a new habit I don't need that I didn't have over the past 60 years.

Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

Since my previous 10-day average was about four pounds higher than my last full challenge about 6 weeks ago, I just need to keep shaving off the holiday pounds till I get closer to 211. Then pick up where I left off.

I have a trip planned for May that will be a good inspirational milestone.

Day, Weight, Comment

2/01 – 202.2 -- 10,334 steps, 45 min aerobics yesterday. Very motivated by proximity to a weigh under 200 to get there and stay there! Today’s focus: LIFT THE DARN WEIGHTS and AVOID THE TRAIL MIX. Busy day today and I’m off to a late start. Trying to work in the more difficult, higher-impact 15-minute interval workout into my daily exercise at least twice this week.

2/02 – 203.6 – 15,784 steps, 45 min aerobics yesterday. Surprising gain. Lots of sodium yesterday, I guess. Didn’t fast Sunday as I typically do and am fasting today.

Day/Comment

2/1 - 183.4 - 1634
New round, new week, new month! I’ve been listening to Dr. Kelly McGonigal’s 40-day habit change
program, and in the first few days she encourages focus on one habit change that may help in achieving goals. The one thing that comes first and repeatedly to mind for me is to get up earlier. I used to be up at at my “office” — fav coffee shop — when they opened at 6 every morning. I’d write until DH showed up around 8 for breakfast, then write when he left until about 10:30, so a good 4 hours of work first thing. Then I’d go to one of my walking trails and walk 4-6 miles, then home, my daily work quota accomplished. Since March I’ve turned into a slug-a-bed, not getting up until we’ll past 8 most days. My non-weight-related (though it may be related, come to think of it) goal this round is to change that habit, aiming for 7 a.m. for now. It is easier in the summer, but I really don’t need to hibernate, and I have a new book idea and some other writing half finished, so, new round, new week, new month, new habits! ❄️🧘🏻🧑🏻‍💻📖🌞

2/2 - 183.2 - 1882
Had a bit of a snack attack last night — triscuits and cheese, so not junk, but I didn’t need the calories. I did get up an hour earlier this morning — bit by bit!

Well, gosh — thank you, ladies! Just the boost I need. I’ve been on a fairly long hiatus for multiple reasons (including major issues with my last publisher, so I identify with your mom, @SModa61 ), but am starting to feel recharged finally. 🤓 I appreciate you guys taking the time to check up on me!

@UTMom81 @SModa61 @CamandJarvis I’ve read all of @SheilaBoneham’s fiction and loved them all!

@SModa61 What is your mom’s name? Always looking for “new” authors.

On a side note-since people are now self-publishing there are lots of inexpensive ebooks available. One author mentioned hers a few years ago in a FB group so I ordered her trilogy. It was so full of errors (punctuation and grammar) that I started to think no one had edited it for her. Another written by a former neighbor clearly based her characters on recognizable neighborhood folks. It was almost painful to read. It made me realize how difficult it would be to write fiction without “using” my friends.

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.

So, lets play a game...how quickly can I reverse this.

Was successful until 3pm. then I decided to eat foods that were not in line with my health goals...overate calories so the salt,fat, calories, water retention was reflected in my morning weight.
the good news is, if I stay hydrated, ease up on calories for a couple days to balance it out, then the weight will go off just as quick as it appeared. Amazing how food does that, isn't it?!?!
