02/09 192.6 Doing better this week! Starting to breath normally again, heart rate is coming down again. Isn’t so weird how if you indulge in sugar even for a day or two, you want it more? I understand what they me when they say it’s an addictive substance. I might come out under for the 10 day.

I'm glad to hear you're able to breathe a bit more normally again. I know it's been a tough few weeks for you. I thought of this video I used to show participants when I taught nutrition classes. It's pretty short and interesting.

Day/Comment
2/1 - 183.4
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
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!
2/3 - 183
Ooops. Oh, well, today will be a lighter calorie day.
2/4 - 185
Aaack - but not surprising given excessive calories. I ate well all day, then snacksnarfed several hundred more calories watching tv. Why??? Comfort? I’m not even aiming for excessively low calories and then compensating. Stress maybe. Ok, I have six days to do something about it this round, starting now.
2/5 - 183
Ok, that’s better. I ate a bit over goal yesterday but didn’t snack last night, so that’s an improvement. It’s 15F out right now but I’m bundling up to shovel the walk to our front door (our lovely neighbor blew our driveway and sidewalks clear by 8 o’clock!). We have a very cold week coming up, but can’t complain (much) since January was so mild. Be warm, safe, and well, all!
2/6 - 183
Happy Saturday! Not much to report. ❄️🌞🧑🏻💻🧶📚🥗
2/7 - 184
I have to get a grip on what I’ll call cold-weather eating. It’s 4F, wind chill -7F, right now, and has been & will be frigid for a while yet. I find myself craving — and eating ☹️ — hibernation food (cheese, butter,...). Gotta stop. Last night I didn’t, at least not soon enough. Terrible. I thought this round would be my new & improved start, but I’m a disaster. And I need to stop whining to you guys without taking corrective action! Need to vent it somewhere, and skinny-all-his-life DH doesn’t get it. So, again, thanks. Sigh. No hugs needed — we need a “nudge in the right direction” button. Enjoy your Sunday.
2/8 - 183
Ok, not perfect, but better. Monday, Monday — I’m gonna trust it for another fresh start.
2/9 - 183.2
Yesterday was a very good day, all told. Although my weight basically stayed steady, I made progress on other “get out of the slump” fronts. Now for more of that today!
2/10 -
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....
2/4 - I love the warm vibration of my cat, Mike, purring against my leg.
2/5 - I love the feel of soft yarn through my fingers, and how a pair of needles magically turn it into something new.
2/6 - I love the smell of fresh-brewed coffee, and the warmth of the mug against my palms.
2/7 - I love reading all you posts, from the struggles to the grand successes — all inspirational and reassuring.
2/8 - I love seeing this beautiful bluebird checking out the nesting box.
2/9 - I love reading & drinking coffee by the window to my sleeping garden.

@starrjulia8 Daughter studied neuroscience as an undergrad and took a particular psych class and had to write a paper on addiction. She wanted to do the addictive nature of sugar (with my prodding). Nope. Forbidden. According to that professor "a food cannot be addiction". I was rather angry at the time. Relatedly, I find that high sugar also triggers salt cravings as well, and it goes back and forth. Candy, then chips, then ice cream (has both!), and on and on.6 -

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.
2/04 – 201.4 – 11,190 steps, 50 min aerobics yesterday. I did okay with eating and for the first time ever resisted the trail mix bowl all day! I got a sugar craving before bed, however, and scavenged a couple of Halloween packs of Sour Patch Kids. Yuck. Still not sure about the best ways to fit some intermittent fasting in and the best approach for me. Still very eager to get below 200 (aka back into ONEDERLAND). Focus on mindful eating today, avoiding the cupboard and trail mix bowl, processed foods, low-fiber carbs. I think I may start a 16-20-hour fast after lunch, but haven’t decided yet.
2/05 – 201.8 – 11,325 steps, 60 min aerobics yesterday. Eating was meh. I really, really, really wanted to binge, but I didn’t, or started to, then stopped, because it just wasn’t feeling good. I am adjunct faculty and I’m in a position where I have a fabulous schedule currently, but no guarantee of future employment and no benefits. So I’m applying for jobs I don’t really want and constantly questioning whether taking a job that is meant to be permanent would really be the best choice considering how much I love my current schedule. It’s a big gamble with my happiness and financial security. So this is on my mind. I think I may be offered a job in marketing/pr that I really don’t want but pays a fortune. Or not. We’ll see. I’m applying for another job today in education administration/student support/advisement that would be fabulous for me, but the way the posting is timed, I suspect they already have someone they want to move into the position but have posted in compliance with rules for public employment with the state. Right now I have no idea if I’ll have adjunct work in the summer. Every semester is like this. It takes a toll. The system really, really sucks. Off to exercise. Thanks for listening!
2/06 – 201.8 – 13,351 steps, 50 min aerobics yesterday. Could be worse! Going to the mountains today for some snow fun. My weight goal this round is not getting much closer, but I’ve been doing well with exercise and am feeling stronger, so that’s a gain.
2/07 – 201.2 – 10,581 steps, cross-country skiing yesterday. Glad to see some movement in the right direction. I wish it would happen more quickly! I really don’t know how I’m going to be fit enough for downhill skiing two weeks from Tuesday. It’s a matter of knees and being closer to the weight I was when I had the bindings adjusted. Hopefully I’ll see a sudden 5-pound drop this week to break the plateau.
2/08 – 202 – 10,269 steps yesterday. Fasting today. Focus on working out today as I feel like all I want to do is curl up in a ball and sleep for a month. A little stiff and sore from cross country skiing, I think, and possibly heading into my insanely unpredictable TOM.
2/09 – 199.8 – 19,374 steps, 50 min aerobics yesterday. I fasted yesterday, so this weight will probably go up tomorrow. Tired of this plateau and hoping it’s related to my TOM and I’ll see a drop soon. Focus today on eating mindfully.

Goals for this round:
- Walk at least 1.75 miles with the dog each night
- Export my data from the various programs I’m using and combine into one spreadsheet for analysis
- Decide on my “reward” for hitting my goal weight!
2/1 - 128.6 - Hello to February and a new round! I did a great HIIT workout this morning, but I think it’s making me hungrier than usual. I’ve stuck to my meal prep though. It’s a gorgeous day here (so sorry to those getting buried with snow!) and I’ve already taken the kids out once. I hoping to get outside again this afternoon.
2/2 - 128.4 - My daughter declared yesterday afternoon that it was “Car Day” and we HAD to make a Car Day cake for her little brother (who is obsessed with cars and trucks.) This is exactly what I want my kids to see and experience - that all foods are available as long as we eat them in moderation. I’m not going to ruin her fun by declaring we can’t have cake in the house because Mommy is on a diet! So we made a yellow butter cake with vanilla buttercream, and she went crazy with the sprinkles and asked me to write “Happy Car Day” on it. We tried to get little brother to do some sprinkles but he just tried to grab handfuls of cake. Then the whole family had small pieces after dinner and it went back into the fridge - was I tempted to eat more of it? Absolutely, but I didn’t and I didn’t go over my calorie limit. I’m calling yesterday a win.
2/3 - 128.0 - Huh. I had a hungry day yesterday, so I let myself eat at maintenance - I figured it was better to eat more of my regular food than risk bingeing on cake because I was starving. I fully expected to be up a bit today just due to the extra food. Not complaining though! I’ve made some progress on my round goals: I’ve found a new loop to take on my evening walk with our dog - 2 miles total. I’ve also ordered my reward outfit! It’s a pink rose floral crop top and burgundy leggings from Athleta. I’m super excited about it and really hope they’ll fit. The leggings are back ordered and won’t arrive until March, which is fine because I won’t hit my goal weight for a few more weeks anyway.
2/4 - 129.4 - Hungrier than usual the past few days? Check. Bloating? Check. Cramping? Check. Weight spike? Check. It’s hormonal, expected and no big deal. Going to keep pushing forward and focus on sticking to my meal plan.
2/5 - 129.2 - Still bloated; weight still high. Did a fitness boxing workout and some Ring Fit this morning - helped a little but I’m still feeling blah. I’ll try and drink plenty of water today and remember to be gentle with myself.
2/6 - 128.6 - On the downward slope again! I’ve been eating close to maintenance the past few days - time to tighten up on the snacking and get the deficit back up. Today looks like it’s going to be “fun.” I got my workout in, but then my toddler decided to dump his blueberry smoothie all over himself...and the table.... and the floor... and then hug his sister... 🤪. I’ve got a bunch of store pick-ups to do this morning - I’m honestly looking forward to it since it get me out of the house by MYSELF for awhile - that is so rare for me these days.
2/7 - 127.8 - Super Bowl Sunday! It’s going to be a maintenance day - I’m making ribs for dinner and we’ll have some snacks during the game. We’re not as invested as we’d be if Green Bay was in the game, but we’ll still watch and hopefully have fun. I didn’t work out this morning but did take the kids for a hike; I plan to get some yoga or Beat Saber in tonight.
2/8 - 127.6 - I’m proud of myself limiting myself to 2 ribs and a small serving of air fryer French fries last night plus a big salad for dinner last night, and just tasting the rest of our appetizers during the game. I managed to stay within my regular calorie limit and I did an hour long Beat Saber session. A little tired this morning, but it’s the feeling that my body worked hard rather than the draining exhaustion I feel when I don’t get enough sleep.
2/9 - 128.0 - Slipped up and ate a bunch of cookies last night. Resulted in a higher scale this morning and not feeling so great. I need to make the time to reflect on this - I’m not going to beat myself up over it, but forgiving myself after a misstep is one thing; telling myself it’s ok before I do it is quite another. Why am I slipping up more now that I’m so close to my goal weight? Am I being too restrictive? Do I need more accountability? More validation? There will always be tempting foods around - if I can address the “why” then at least I’ve learned something from this.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/31 …..207.6 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/01 …..207.6 ….. No change.
02/02 …..207.6 ….. I don’t usually stay the same weight 3 days in a row. It must have been the banana bread snack because I burned many calories yesterday with more scrubbing.
02/03 …..208.8 ….. Epic fail. Bathroom #1 expansion and remodel begins today. It will be a long process as I am being squeezed in-between jobs taking their free time. In doing so, I am getting a discount which is important since I have 3 bathroom that need to be redone (not counting the rest of the house!) Eating will be grab and go and I already feel a loss of control. I will be working on figuring it all out.
02/04 …..xxxxx ….. Hit the floor running this morning as construction began on bathroom #1. I forgot to weigh. I do not suspect progress however.
02/05 …..208.6 ….. Whew! I was worried there for a minute!
02/06 …..207.2 ….. Much better. I had no time to cook as the crew was here today so I was stuck with some late-night frozen food. However, the quantities were small and the snacks were minimal. With no credit to myself or planning, it somehow worked out.
02/07 …..207.7 ….. DD2 brought Pizza and grandson yesterday. I don’t get to spend much time with them often. Work crew was not here yesterday so it worked out perfect. I am sure much of this is sodium as it was an OMAD day. Lots of running chasing the 3 year old up & down stairs. Hopefully tomorrow will be back to normal on the scale. Happy Superbowl Sunday to all U.S.
02/08 …..207.4 ….. Better…..Just trying to keep it less than starting weight which is my goal.
02/09 …..206.6 ….. I’m expecting a high sodium social dinner tonight. I hope it does not affect the final weigh-in tomorrow. Pushing water.
02/10 …..xxxxx …..
02/01 I am grateful for my ability to retire early at age 60. I am beginning to finally feel better rested and more in control of my life. Owning 2 motels and cabins left me working 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, with never a day off. The businesses were located on my home property so there was never any rest, peace or privacy. The number of employees – 1. Just me and the occasional handyman I would hire if the job was above my skill set. What will I do for the rest of my life? As a widow, travel is a bit scary. I am not sure yet. But hopefully I will have lots of time to figure it out.
02/02 I love my new house. It is old and smoky and needs lots of updating and work but I love the possibilities. Mostly I love that it allows me to have a separate apartment in the basement for my adult disabled son. I love we can work harder on independence for him.
02/03 I love the frontline workers who allow me to shelter safely in my home while they are out on the frontlines battling this virus. Thank you to each and everyone of them. I hope you feel the love and respect.
02/04 I love my children and grandchildren. Without them, life would be meaningless. Thank you to God for placing them in my life.
02/05 I love my 3 new squirrel friends. All black squirrels, so shiny and beautiful. One is a little piggy and doesn’t want the other 2 to eat so I will have to work on that. I call him Ziffel (after Arnold the pig from Green Acres). Squirrel #2 is really skinny because Ziffel doesn’t share very often. I call him Green Bean (after the skinny Hee Haw character). # 3 only comes around about 2 times a week. He is always frustrated by Ziffel and always gets the shortest end of the stick. I call him Darren Stevens (after the hubby in Bewitched). I guess the names I have chosen is showing my age! In any case, I love all 3 of them.
02/06 I love chocolate. There is no getting around that. I am constantly trying to find ways to satisfy that craving without tipping the boat over during my journey. There it is. I honestly LOVE chocolate.
02/07 I love the memories I have with all my loved ones, especially those that have passed. Some memories are becoming fleeting for me, others rise to the surface with incidents’ that I long ago thought I had forgotten. Memories with my brothers & sisters. My cousins. My school friends. My past pets. I love that, through memories, they are with me always.
02/08 I love when I can make a difference in someone’s life. No matter how big or small.
02/09 I love every pet I’ve ever owned. I am thankful that since I have been out on my own (1980) I have cremated every doggy and kitty. They are now able to move with me. I love they are here with me in my new home.5 -

February focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 140- 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!
[*] 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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Taking a break of staying at the low end of my KJ budget, yesterday and today I'm going to eat up to my KJ limit (maintenance), will see if that kicks the scale into motion (note to self: this is not permission for a sugar overdose!)
02/05 = 85.8
LOL! well that is a change, not the one I was looking for but then again I ate all the way to 2000 Calories *eye pop* yesterday and I know that is waaaaheeey too much for me - I just didn't want to stop eating carbs and am paying the price.
Back to a "normal" range today, I've had my fun.
02/06 =85.1 Halfway
How happy I am to be back to the number I was complaining about day before yesterday
Sometimes I think my journey is only 30% change and 70% becoming grateful for the blessings I have in my life, like finding I have time to dedicate to myself, accessing good food, rediscovering the soundness of my physical self, and growing to accept the encouragement of friends.

Day/Weight/Comment02/01 -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!02/09- No scale today, but very positive day eating-wise! I got hungry before each meal, which is a good sign I'm eating the right amount. My eating slumps have gotten shorter since joining this group. I woke up with swollen hands and feet, but the swelling decreased as the day went on. Despite the salt-related swelling, I had a moment when I saw myself and *noticed* how different I look! I wore some pants I hadn't worn in a few months and they fit very differently. I also suddenly have cheekbones lol.
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!
02/04- 128.4. No idea where this number came from! I felt good yesterday and was consistent. Walked and met nutritional goals. Failed at my bedtime goal. I am **seriously** going to try again!!
02/05- 128.4. I ate closer to maintenance calories yesterday, going over on my protein. Lifted some heavy (for me) weights. Still didn't go to sleep on time...womp, womp. I really can't believe it's the same number as yesterday. I feel like it's someone else's weight!
02/06- DNW! Got sidetracked in the morning and then I just didn't make it happen later. However, good day in terms of goals!
02/07- 128.2. I had an unplanned maintenance-level day today. I had soaked some nuts and dehydrated them again, so I checked for done-ness... and kept "checking." Also, had some homemade bread with raw honey, which is my kryptonite, especially if it isn't planned ahead of time. I'm expecting my weight to bump up for the next few days, but I did really, honestly enjoy that bread and honey! (The nuts, however, were decidedly not worth it). I'm learning more about my (many) limitations, and I hope posting on here will prevent this from becoming a multiple-day backslide!
It was a beautiful, clear day here, which always helps boost my mood. I hope everyone had a good weekend!
02/08- Another hectic morning, another DNW. My mornings are a bit up in the air right now, so I'm trying to make sure I weigh myself tomorrow morning!
Today was (thankfully) a good eating day. I have been craving protein like crazy, so I think I'll adjust my protein and fiber goals for the next few days and see where that takes me. I'm also adjusting my "asleep by 10:30 pm goal" to "asleep by 11 pm"-- it's a goal that has eluded me almost every single day I've had it as a goal. 11 will still be better than my current average night, and then maybe I can get enough "wins" and good habits built up at that level that o can inch closer to 10:30 in the future.
Also, found an MFP blog article on my feed when I logged in today that was *super* encouraging... Does everyone get the same articles, or do you think we're targeted when, for example, we go over our caloric goal (as I did yesterday?). Either way, the article was very helpful! I'm, again, so grateful for this app and this group!

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

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE

Day/Weight/Comment
02/01 175.6 Good day with food yesterday but still enjoyed a special dinner with hubby after his trip. My walk was cut short by cold rain, but came home and got in miles on the bike instead.
02/02 175.4 Snowed in, but managed to eat well all day. Did 19:5 IF and 2.5 miles of exercise.
02/03 175.2 Easing down again, yay! No formal exercise yesterday, but had a super productive day at work, so I do feel good about that.
02/04 175.2 Was a beautiful afternoon, although cold, so I was able to walk outside (2.39 miles) between work and picking up the grand baby at daycare. I really needed that, and can’t wait till weather is warm enough to take her with me again to the park to walk. Headed to Florida for a long weekend, so scales won’t be the same. I will enjoy the seafood but try to manage everything else. Hoping it will be nice enough to get in some long walks or real bike rides.
02/05 176.2 on different scales today, and yesterday was air travel day. Did well on food intake, but my grilled grouper was salty last night then I was SO thirsty all evening I drank a ton of water, so the number could be accurate, but hopefully a lot of water. Hoping to get in a real bike ride today and a walk while the weather is warm.
02/06 176.6 Not a good food day yesterday, but finally got in a good bike ride and also walked two miles to dinner on the beach.
02/07 DNW Had a bit of a scare yesterday with over 20 minutes of a very high heart rate (according to my Apple Watch it was 155 for most of that time) while I was just riding in a boat looking at all the Super Bowl hype in downtown Tampa. I have decided to cut way back on my caffeine intake as well as making some other changes. I’ve not been taking my blood pressure medicine regularly and having gained all that weight over the year before I started working on getting it back off in November, has not been good for my body. I have to take better care of myself, so I can be here to watch my sweet granddaughter grow up. There are so many things I want to do with her in the years to come. I did get in a great bike ride early yesterday morning and hope to do another one sometime today if the storms move out. Then I fly home tonight and will get on a better eating plan. It’s time to get serious.
02/08 DNW 12.42 mile bike ride
02/09 176.8 Back home. Will be driving to get my Covid vaccine today—driving two hours away where educators are being given vaccines. Fingers crossed. 1-mile walk yesterday,
02/10 176.8 Got my vaccine yesterday with no side effects. Yay! 2.14 mile walk. Here’s to a more productive round in 141.

Love for myself—100-Mile Challenge—Total So Far = 46.37
Love for others—Random Acts of Kindness and other things I love:
2/2 Bailed a co-worker out of a mess she had made in a program before she asked me to.
2/3 Purchased one of @SheilaBoneham’s books on Audible to listen to as soon as I’m finished with the one I have going. Already put several others in my “Want to Read” shelf on GoodReads. Love that I’ll be reading a book written by a friend. :-)
2/4 This trip is for me! Wasn’t able to get down there during December because of Mom’s illness and death, so I need this little getaway right now.
2/5 I love watching the sun rise and set reflected on the intercostal waterway. We watched it go down at the restaurant last night. RAoK: helped a stranger get a great spot to take a pic from and helped him frame a photo with the little decorative lights from the restaurant railing in the foreground and the sunset in the background. Made him happy and did me too.
2/6 Left a big tip for our waitress at breakfast yesterday at one of our favorite places down here because their business is so low from Covid. We figured she could use a little extra. Also looked for opportunities yesterday to just say something nice to a stranger. Feels good to hand out random compliments and watch people’s faces light up!
2/7 I love my granddaughter more than I ever imagined that I could. She is the light of my life! Can’t wait to see her again tomorrow.
2/9 Love that we have a vaccine for this disease, but admittedly am a teeny bit nervous about taking it. But I want to do my part.
2/10 Love that it was warm enough for taking Sweet Baby on a long stroller walk after work yesterday. She loves to go, usually falls asleep at about one mile in, then I get to squeeze in another mile or so. I cherish every moment with her!

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
2/1 207.2 Walked 3 miles, plank, 2054 cal, 54 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
2/2 207.4 Walked 2.4 + .6 miles, plank, 1324 cal, 33 net carbs, AF. 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
2/3 207.0 Walked 3.3 + .6 miles, plank, 1554 cal, 24 net carbs, AF.
2/4 205.9 Walked 3.6 + .6 miles, plank, 1343 cal, 34 net carbs, AF. Swoosh!
2/5 206.7 Walk 2.8 + 1.7 miles, plank, 1448 cal, 45 net carbs, AF. Bye bye leftover pasta from last weekend’s indulgence - chicken tetrazzini will no longer derail me!
2/6 205.7 No exercise, shopping instead, 1345 cal, 57 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Lunch at Local Foods ate my favorite yummy Crunchy Chicken sandwich (oven roasted chicken breast, nut-seed crumble, crushed chips, lettuce, tomato, house pickles, provolone, buttermilk ranch, pretzel bun) with homemade chips and grapefruit as sides. But I ate only half which helped! That took willpower!

Need to break the habit of snacking on chips … oh and a heaping serving of rich mashed potatoes at dinner.
Feel some success this round. Saw 205.x twice! And I was able to capture 206.x that I saw in the last round. But I’m letting the weekends spoil my progress.6 -
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 exercise I 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.
2/4 – 127.0 I’m good with this. It is a number that makes the most sense to me. Another distracting day today dealing with my MIL’s condo, BUT it should be the last non-negotiable (last furniture delivery) though I will certainly be back to continue to square things away for her (Note: she is in Florida for the season). (science experiment this morning – Tanita scale, 6:33 AM, 127.0, 24% body fat – so two days later, same time, same weight, but another 1% less ……hmmmmm)
2/5 – 126.6 So last night was second attempt at running. I think I now need to get educated about stretching before and/or after. Hurting a bit today, unlike the first.
2/6 – 126.4 So the extra 200 cal/day are stabilizing out pretty well. Each day right now is crazy busy, but I am fortunate that I should just have one more week on insanity and then should have a much more relaxed life for a couple of months. Emphasis on the “should” (experiment continues – Tanita scale 6 AM, 126.4, 25% body fat – so went down in weight but up in BF% over two days)
2/7 – 125.8 Now more down. Very unexpected as I ate a bunch of candy (all tracked and accounted for) while riding in the car for hours yesterday (Tanita 6 AM 126.0, 25%)
2/8 – 126.0 Went out for a walk early while still dark, planned on 4 miles but the 21 degree tamp drove me back inside at 3 miles. Later I added some exercise bike so I could have a little “extra” while my husband watched the superbowl (hot peanuts). I joined him but did other things the whole time. On the hot nuts, I did calculate what a portion “in shell” was, since the packaging did a weight for "shelled peanuts" and I was not going to shell them all first. Made it through without regrets! Yesterday, I did accomplish something else that I keep not achieving and that was the Apple Watch perfect week "all activities". One must close all three rings 7 days in a row, Monday - Sunday. Glad to have accomplished it because, looking at my calendar, I do not see any opportunity to have accomplished it for a minimum of two more weeks, and I had previously never tried. (Tanita 6:15 AM 126.0 24% - at least I will have an average pattern to see if it is any different when I have access to it again in May).
2/9 – 126.6 I will totally accept this given last evening. Had homemade gnocchi for dinner (correct calories) but scalded my hand and dropped my iphone into the recently boiling water when I tripped on the dishwasher door while carrying the pot to drain while calling for information to help get my advanced senior parents their COVID vaccinations. Amazingly, saved the gnocchi, iphone works (was in the hot water at least 5 minutes), parents got their appointments, and I after a long evening trying to treat my hand I feel asleep with mega dose of advil and my wrapped hand in a bucket of cold water. This morning, I think it is going to be ok. Still tender, but I think I won’t lose any skin. So, .6 up, I’m ok with that.
2/10 – 125.2 A surprise ending for the round. But mathematically, as @quiltingjaine suggested, my average weight for Round 140 is 126.46. Except for yesterday, my daily calories channeled the idea of eating an additional 200 calories/day. Going to stick with the additional 200/day for a second round and see how it shakes out.

2/5 - PM: Indoor cycle 30:10 min, 7.12 miles – Notice that I am failing at adding posts on the love challenge, but the actions of this week are continual actions of love. MIL was widowed Oct 2019 and immediately signed purchase and sale on a smaller home, a town house. Well it was new construction and just completed 10 days ago. She is in Florida, so DH and I have driven over almost every day dealing will all aspects of getting her place set up so that when she comes home, she “comes home”. SIL and BIL spent the day with us working as well. It’s a family’s effort of love.
