JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 140 (round 72 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 maintanace starts and dare I say it is in my sights?
Challenge for this round – get into and stay in 120's? I've not been that low since before 2018! 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! Run 4 x during the 10 days.
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

02/01 - 146.5
02/02 - 146.5
02/03 - 147 - I've really been eating well this past week, so I'm a little frustrated with my weight. Higher stress levels have kept me from losing in the past, so I'm going to attribute this stuck weight to that and keep plugging along.

So, it is Feb 1 and also the first day of Round 140. I got under my stated goal just over one round ago, so now the process begins. My “weight” goal will be to maintain and, given staying the same is not very exciting, this will be all challenging for me. I have learned how to lose well, now to learn to maintain and more importantly to maintain while adding to my healthy habits.
Goal for 140 - to practice none weight loss goals. For this round, to close all three Apple Watch rings for 7 day in a row. I have yet to meet this challenge.
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 140 – starting weight 127.2
2/1 – 126.2 Oops, not the way I was supposed to start maintenance. Yesterday was highly distracting which helps. Trying to continue to pre-track my days. Last night though, I had a “first”. I was updating info for the 24 hour challenge I have been doing and I noticed I was 32 minutes shy of hitting 30 hours for the month. It was late and cold, but I got dressed and went out for a “walk”. Well I ended up jogging, and I jogged the entire time without stopping, 3.44 miles AND I am still alive. Maybe seeing that I could do that will encourage me to start making a greater effort towards switching to jogging/running from my fast walking. (For my future comparative records, as I print these out for my notebook, Tanita BF scale 126.5 and 26% BF at 6AM – curious what I will see at next check in May)
2/2 – 127.0 Makes more sense than yesterday’s low and I know it has nothing to do with 200 more calories yesterday. (decided to step on the Tanita scale, 6:30 AM, 127.0, 25% bodyfat. Interesting, up .8 yes down 25% - almost seems like this BF scale needs to be stepped on regularly to monitor trends)
2/3 – 127.8 Not cool. Two days in a row now. Calorie increase was only 200 calories per day and I exercise in similar range. I am assuming the increases are from glycogen replenishment and its associated fluids. But not cool! This is certainly making the mental aspect of maintenance challenging. Trying to focus on trusting the numbers. If tomorrow shows another gain, I’m going to switch to only 100 additional calories per day for the rest of the round. (Note: I also update/corrected yesterday's weight. I did not have an overnight gain of over 40 lbs :P )

02/03 - 147.7 - Still coming down slowly. Fasted 16.5hr, drank 90oz water. Not much to update, I think? Oh,I was approved and set my appointment to get PRK in 2 weeks (the 18th). I'll be off and unable to post for 4-5 days after surgery (I believe it'll be end of next round, beginning of R142). Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I can to update everyone! As for my Godson, his white blood cell count is really high and doctors are stumped. We are all holding our breaths for it to lower and be normal. He's doing really well otherwise and just as crazy as can be (for a 2.5yr old, that is. Definitely a wildchild)

Previous Day's Comments02/01 - My weight is down from yesterday, but my bloat is the worst its been in a verrrrrry long time. Not entirely sure what is going on but I'm thinking there's a lot of little things adding up quickly. Fasted 14.5hrs yesterday. Had pre-made sub for lunch. Ended up eating Whataburger (fast food) for dinner because by the time we finished at the land, it was late and we had nothing to cook at our house (at least not thawed). Water was good, drank about 72oz which isn't bad since we ran out of water. Probably needed more, but still better than before! Lots of movement. It'll come down, I'm sure of it. Especially since weekdays are pretty easy and BF will be out this weekend, or at least Friday evening/Saturday. Much easier to fast when he's not around and cooking for himself (mmmm bacon).
02/02 - Inching back down. Have some bloat in my low low belly (below belly button but not so much above it). I think that's just the price I'm paying for the weekend. So long as I keep to my goals, it'll go away. 16hr fast, 90oz water. Had deer chili with a sweet potato-apple bake. Interesting, but quite good. Making steaks tonight. Bought some mushrooms to attempt drunken mushrooms (beer braised), and a sack of potatoes for garlic mashed potatoes. Leftover potatoes, I had in mind a baked potato for lunch. I have butter, cheese, bacon bits, and some frozen chopped bell pepper to cook up and add which makes me really excited for it. Need to buy some broccoli on my next grocery trip - cheesy broccoli baked potato is a favorite and I haven't had it in awhile. I'm salivating thinking about it! haha

02/01 - I love my body She may not be perfect, and I may not always love her as I should, but she never gives up. The bloating I'm dealing with is her trying to keep us alive despite me not taking the best care of us. She does what she needs to do to make sure we stay as alive and healthy as possible. She works hard and though she may not be as strong as she once was and has some titanium upgrades, she still helps me walk, run, play, and work. And shoutout to my body for her dedication to us: ruck marching 12 miles on torn ligaments and tendons in my ankle with 30lbs, learning to walk and exceeding the necessary requirements for release after my back surgery (when there was a chance I'd lose use of my left leg and potentially both legs), suffering through a torn intestine (first time we ever fasted 3 days!), and just plain surviving what I (and life) throws at her for both of us. Body, you're a complete bada**. I absolutely do not love and appreciate you enough, but I'm so glad you love me unconditionally.02/03 - I love my family I'm talking about my blood family AND my chosen family. They're all there for me, all the time. My blood family is small but we are close. We share struggles (yes, my parents share their struggles. Completely transparent) and good times. They've led me to things I didn't particularly want but have set me up in life now (a begudging thanks). My chosen family...well, I chose them because they feel like family. We have zero ties other than our love for one another and that is something absolutely amazing to me. They are the reason I finally got to move to Texas after years of wanting and waiting. I love that I have so many people that look through my anxiety and bad days to love me regardless, blood or not. I hope they all know how much I truly love them in return
02/02 - I love this group This group is an escape. A getaway. A place I can go when life gets a little heavy or when I have something amazing nobody else would truly understand or appreciate. I never thought I'd ever open up enough online (its a scary place) to call anyone a friend, but I consider all of you my friends. My little 10-day family on repeat. Not only are we all on a journey to health, but we are on a journey to get the most out of life and its beyond inspiring. Without this group, I know I wouldn't be making the progress I am. Reading all your successes keeps me going, knowing it IS possible. Without everyone here posting about their struggles, I wouldn't understand my own and how to overcome them. I look forward to coming here every day, not always to post about me, but to read how everyone is doing. I'm invested in your journey. I worry about you when things get tough and wait impatiently for the next day's post to see if you're okay. I'm truly excited for you when things go wonderful. Especially during COVID when it's hard to get together, I'm not missing out on this group. We come together regardless and it brings so much normalcy back when normal isn't possible elsewhere in my life. I appreciate all of you so much

@quiltingjaine @SheilaBoneham I would love it if my mom was the author, but somehow I am taking credit from @CamandJarvis 's mom. I little confusion happened along the way. QuiltingJaine, hopefully Camandjarvis will see this and share that info with you.
My mom's pen name is Melani Blazer. Forewarning, she quit her publisher because they required....ahem, erotica.
I do believe she has 1 or 2 books published that are not that, but I don't remember which one(s), honestly. I have tried to get her to write and publish more, but she JUST finished getting her degree and financially cannot afford to front anything to publish. Hopefully soon! I know its her passion (in the meantime, she quilts and I believe has found a passion in that to keep her satisfied) 4 -

Day, Weight, Comment
2/01 – 202.2 -- 10,334 steps, 45 min aerobics yesterday. Very motivated by proximity to a weight 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.
2/03 – 200.8 – 10,438 steps, 50 min aerobics yesterday. A slight drop because I fasted yesterday. I am feeling discouraged because I know that weight will go up tomorrow and I am so eager to drop below 200 and reach a weight near 190 by the time I go skiing in three weeks. It’s hard to fit fasting into my schedule and I know it’s not a perfect solution, but it has so many health benefits and it really builds my confidence around my ability to resist food: If I can resist eating for 24 hours, then I can control what goes into my mouth the rest of the time, too. In theory! My schedule is changing and I need to figure out how to fit fasting in. I may not be able to do two 24-hour fasts anymore. I’m babbling. Today I’m focusing as usual on eating more fruits and veggies and less nuts and cheese. I roasted some Brussels Sprouts to snack on today. MINDFUL EATING. Also trying another new, higher intensity workout today.

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! ❄️🧘🏻🧑🏻💻📖🌞

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!

2/1 - I love the bright light of early morning reflected on the weekend’s snow.
2/2 - I love a satisfying breakfast — homemade egg-Canadian bacon-cheese-whole grain muffin sandwich & coffee. Mmmmm.
2/3 - I love the birds in my backyard this morning — juncos, sparrows, cardinals, a woodpecker, blue jays....

@SModa61 Thank you for easing my confusion. I will say, I am NOT a morning person and am not fully awake until about 10AM, yet read these messages around 7. LOL As I am on page 6 reading these posts, I don’t know if @CamandJarvis has revealed her mom’s name yet.0

I was going to ask about this exact thing this morning!! How many of you feel like you sabotage yourself and undermine your efforts, even when you have some positive momentum going??6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
02/01 -130.6. Got some good sleep yesterday, stayed within all my nutritional goals, took a long walk in beautiful weather outside. Let's see what we can do this round!
02/02 -129.6. Missed my 10:30 pm bedtime, but met my other goals yesterday! I'm back to where I was at the end of round 138. I'll try again for my bedtime goal tonight-- the difference in the morning is very noticeable!
Also, *loving* all the posts so far...I am so grateful for this group! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie 💕
02/03- 130.2. Missed my bedtime goal *again*! I also ate near maintenance calories, with a higher proportion of carbs than I usually aim for because of: oat milk!! I love drinking almond milk, and tried oat milk...not realizing one serving of unsweetened oat milk packs about **four times** the calories of my unsweetened almond milk (30 cals vs. 130 cals/cup)!!! Delicious, but learned my (rookie) lesson: read nutrition labels!
Honestly, though, still feel good and positive this morning. Let's go get them!
