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
- Enjoy Valentine’s Day and my son’s birthday without guilt

2/11 - DNW - Yesterday was a tough day - my son rolled a ball behind the couch and I bent down to get it at the same time as he jumped up to scream about it. The back of his head smashed into my face/nose. He’s fine, thank goodness, but I saw stars and was in a lot of pain the rest of the day. I didn’t move much; I didn’t cook (we did take out for dinner); and I definitely didn’t track any calories. I don’t know what the scale would be this morning, but I don’t think it’s representative of where I’m actually starting this round.

2/12 - 128.8 - NOT the number I wanted to see on the scale this morning. It’s ok, it’s temporary, and it will certainly be motivation to stick to my meal plan this round - no more extra snacking! Thank you to everyone who expressed sympathy - I’m doing much better. Still some pain, but nothing too bad. The little guy just has a really hard head! 😂

2/13 - 127.2 - That’s much more in line with what I expected for this round. Though i have a steak dinner and chocolate fondue planned for Valentine’s Day, so this may be short-lived. My NSV today was trying on the new jeans I just bought - 2 sizes smaller than my previous pairs! And they fit! I’ve been hesitant to buy new clothes since I’m not quite to my goal yet, and I’m debating going for another 5 lbs off after that - but I really needed these and it’s a great mental boost to wear stuff that fits. Grocery pickup today and meal prep tomorrow - white chicken chili for lunch this week, with chocolate strawberry overnight oats and zucchini feta dill egg muffins. I’m also trying protein powder for the first time, so I’m going to make energy bites with it!

2/14 - 127.4 - Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s going to be a day of indulgence and I’ll definitely go over my regular calorie allowance. We did crepes this morning and will be having a special dinner tonight. Since we can’t go out, I’m glad we can still do something special to celebrate each other. Got in a solid leg workout this morning and will do my regular walk tonight.

2/15 - 128.4 - Don’t know how many calories I ate yesterday, and I don’t really want to. It was a wonderful day; I managed to cook the steaks perfectly and we all LOVED the chocolate fondue. I know every day that I have a wonderful husband and amazing kids, but it’s still nice to have special days to celebrate. I enjoyed everything I ate and was present in the moment with my family - that’s all I ask of myself. The scale will sort itself out. Did a 30 minute HIIT workout this morning and will aim for some Beat Saber tonight.

2/16 - 127.8 - Still coming down from Valentine’s Day. I’m on to spring cleaning now - trying to take on one room each day. Yesterday was the living room - today, the main bathroom! Cleaning burns a few extra calories each day, right? Thoughts and good wishes for all those affected by the winter storms here in the US - stay warm and stay safe!

2/17 - 127.6 - *sigh*. Did it again last night - was doing great all day sticking to my meal plan, exercising, even took the kids hiking - and then I ate a bunch of cookies right before bed. Part of the problem is I tell myself “It’s ok, I’m so close to my goal weight, one day of maintenance won’t hurt...” but that doesn’t work when I’m doing it every few days! The other part is simply that I AM really hungry - maybe because I’m staying up too late when we eat dinner at 5:30; maybe because I’ve been upping the intensity of my workouts. Either way... new game plan! I will now be incorporating a full evening snack into my meal plan. I think it will help to have a balanced, healthy snack planned that I can look forward to rather than letting myself have “just one” cookie that snowballs. I’ll also try to get to bed earlier - but I’ve been trying to do that for years and haven’t managed it yet. 😂.

Maintain weight < 150
Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.

Recent Back Story:

2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅

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!

I have decided to start food shopping months in advance, so will most likely have to incorporate a higher carb content (as I eat a mostly vegan diet and have limited freezer real estate), it might be a bit rocky to start with weightwise but I have faith that I can adjust eventually!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 141 (round 73 for me ) I''ve proved 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 back into and stay in 120's? 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.

SW: 132.4

Day/Weight/Comment
02/11 131.6 – a good start to the round, ate really healthily yesterday, aim to keep the momentum going for this 10 days. 9.2 miles walked yesterday; again in the light snow. Another cold day here -4C at the moment brrrh!! was hoping for a run this morning, but will have to see what the pavements are like later.
02/12 130.8 – 9.48 miles yesterday including 27 mins run. Another good food day & it shows on the scales. Keeping end of last round post in this rounds post to remind myself how I felt on that last day weigh in!

02/13 130.8 - 10.99 miles walked locally from home (as always during lockdown) yesterday. Cooked Chinese New Year meal; prawns on sesame ryvita to start, duck leg in hoisin sauce with black bean veggie stir fry for main washed down with a glass of Rosé & all within calories.
02/14 130.8 – 11.46 miles walked yesterday all in below zero C temps! ; 5 miles or so in I turned my ankle on a frozen rut whilst crossing a field, no pain no discomfort I carried on for another 6 or 7 miles incident free. However, later in the afternoon whilst watching the rugby the ankle began to ache, gradually getting worse as the day went on and by evening I could not bear any weight on it at all & the intense pain! DH had to prepare and serve tea! I didn't want to take painkillers as I am giving blood in a few days, just elevated it and very gently wiggled it a little. It was a little better before bed, but got up this morning and it is almost back to normal!! Can't believe it really ….. I'm going to avoid running for a good few days but will try out a gentle walk later this morning.
02/15 130 - 9.41 miles walked yesterday, the ankle held up so we just kept walking till the rain came!! Despite a home cooked delicious 3 course Valentine Sunday roast kept within calories.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/11 - 204.4. A good start. Kept my calories under goal on Wednesday, though didn't manage to get in a walk as work was really busy.

02/12 - 203.2. Keeping this in perspective - probably just stabilisation of water weight. Plus I'm planning an indulgent weekend. Not been able to go to the cinema for a year, so bringing the cinema home, complete with big screen, popcorn (with butter, I'm afraid) and sweets. So by Monday, this loss may have evaporated a bit. But For now I'm enjoying seeing the drop.

02/13 - DNW

02/14 - DNW

02/15 - 205.2 I expected this. I had a bad weekend. Entirely planned, as noted above. I was still within my target calorie deficit for the last week, so am hoping this is mainly water weight rather than actual gain, and that it will come off once I'm back to eating less sugar and salt.

02/16 - 206.8. Yuck. The exertions of the weekend really catching up with me. Had a good day on Monday - was under calories (although not that active). But my scale is showing water % at 55, which is the highest it's been, so assume a lot of water weight still from the weekend.

02/17 - 206.8. Another quite inactive day. Was under calories - though not by as much as usual since it was Pancake Day! Water %age still pretty high (55%) so hoping that once that starts coming down, I'll drop back at least to where I was before last weekend. 203 lbs as a goal for this round looks unlikely to be achieved though

02/18 - 204.8. A good day. Under calories and went for a run - restarted Couch to 5K at week 2 (having completed Couch to 5K before Christmas). Think maybe starting to shift some water weight after an indulgent weekend.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/11 - 146
02/12 - 146.5 - OK, it's time to get serious about getting back down to maintenance weight. I pulled out the food scale this morning and I'm logging everything. After 3 years of daily weighing and losing/maintaining my weight, you would think I would have it down by now, but the reality is that without using the food diary and the food scale, I give myself too much leeway in the amount and what I eat. That works fine when I weigh 142 or 143, but not when I'm trying to lose several pounds.
02/13 - 145.5 - I came home from work last night and my newly retired husband had made spinach lasagna and homemade garlic bread. I measured out enough to stay below maintenance calories, but I won't be surprised if the sodium and carbs hit tomorrow. Plenty of water today!
02/14 - 144.5 - I don't trust this number, but I'll take it!
02/15 - 146.5 - More carbs and sodium yesterday, so this is not a surprise. I'll probably leave the office a little early today to beat the winter storm heading our way. I hope everyone else stays safe over the next day.
02/16 - 146 - The scale flashed between 145 and 146, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow.
02/17 - 145 - OK!
02/18 - 144.5 - There is a young man (and he is overweight) in my office who is a nice guy, but he is obnoxious when it comes to food. He knows that I, along with a couple others in my office try to watch what we eat. At least once a week he brings in cake, cookies, donuts, brownies, etc. That is fine except he walks over to me and waves the food in front of me and "jokingly" asks me if I want a piece. When I usually say no, he'll bug me about it throughout the day and he leaves it at the end of his desk where I pass by it 10 times a day. Yesterday, after 4 years of this, I reached my breaking point with brownies. After his 3rd try to get me to take one, I took a half piece of brownie. I ate one bite, and told him it wasn't worth the calories and wrapped the rest up and threw it in the trash. It felt kind of like a b**** move, but we will see if he keeps bugging me with sweets. I guess I'm getting old and grumpy.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/11 176.0 excellent food day; tracked everything and stayed under calorie goal; 5.29 mile bike, 1.36 mi walk
02/12 174.2 Yay!!! Lost back what I gained in Florida and then some. I’ve done much better on food the last few days, staying with lots of vegetables and protein, and tracking everything.
02/13 173.0 Finally, real progress again this round. Just hope I can keep it up. Celebrated Valentine’s Day last night with hubby and did just fine. Will celebrate with the kids on Sunday. Got in a walk at lunch yesterday as a break from work. Love it when I can make that happen.
02/14 173.0 Another really good food day, and got in an 8.7-mile ride too. No walk in the cold rain, but the bike felt great last night. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
02/15 173.6 I did pretty well on Valentine’s Day, food wise, and got in an 8-mile ride on the bike, but I did splurge a little on two chocolate covered strawberries and a half a serving of ice cream after dinner. But I did not use yesterday as an excuse to eat all the things! Will get back on track today so I can keep the 173.xx and make this a great round. Already have lunch packed.
02/16 172.0 This probably won’t hold. Didn’t eat much yesterday due to some stressors, but I’m happy about the weight loss for the day. Did 8.49 miles on the bike.
02/17 171.4 Finally some real progress this round, but don’t expect it to stay quite this low till the end. I’m sure there will be a bounce back up soon. Want to hold on to as much of the loss as possible, though.
02/18 171.2 Had a good food day yesterday, so I’m pleased to see there hasn’t been a bump up yet. Tweaked my back a little yesterday, so no real exercise. Hoping to try the bike a little today and see how it goes.

Love for myself—100-Mile Challenge—Total So Far = 79.9

Love for others—Random Acts of Kindness and other things I love:
2/11 Love a beautiful day in the middle of winter! It was 64 here yesterday, definitely felt like spring (although I know it is fleeting) so I got in a good walk at lunch. Amazes me just how much that helps me be more productive in the afternoon.
2/12 Love that I am in Chapter 77 of @SheilaBoneham’s book and there are so many viable suspects that I don’t yet have this “who done it” figured out. ;-)
2/13 Handed out a random compliment to a stranger last night, and again, faces just light up when you do that!
2/14 Loving on my family yesterday—putting together a Little Tykes Princess car for the one-year-old light of my life, and preparing to celebrate with daughter and hubby today.
2/15 Left a very nice tip with a Happy Valentine’s note to the server at dinner last night.
2/17 I love my first cup of coffee in the mornings. I usually spend it with this group as I read the posts from the day before and create my own. Happy Wednesday, everyone!
2/18 Thankful for the fact that even though so many others in our nation are without power in the snow/ice, we have heat in spite of the layer of ice that covers everything (hope it holds). Also, love that schools are on virtual learning today, so I can do my job in my yoga pants, favorite sweatshirt, and fuzzy house shoes.

I wouldn't feel the least bit bad about that! The guy is obviously a jerk, but sadly, is probably too much of one for your actions to prevent him from continuing his bad behavior. One thing someone shared with me on another group that helps me with office treats is this: when you see sweets someone has brought and you are tempted, think about someone sneezing all over them or in the days of Covid now, think about others having touched them all before picking out the one they wanted. It does make it easier to walk away.

Don't get me wrong, I'd have probably tried the brownie too, as chocolate is my kryptonite. Proud of you for standing up for yourself!
