OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016)

Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

Goal for this round is to have a lower average that last round. I have a lot of work to do to get back to where I was last August.

Need to get some form of exercise kick started.

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

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Round 142
Month/Day: Exercise / Comment

02/21: 213.4
Was a bit over on calories yesterday, and did a very light session with dumbbells working on range of motion mostly.

02/22: 213.2
Pretty quiet day yesterday. Took a walk around the block since the weather was not unbearable.

02/23: 212.6
This loss despite a moment of weakness last night right before bed. Another see-food event.

02/24: 212.6
A rare repeat weight! Better than going up. Trying to chip away. Having a little skin cancer removed from my neck today, so that should really show up on the scale tomorrow. Ha!

02/25: 212.2
It really makes a difference if I pack my own lunch for work instead of launching myself out the door at lunchtime in search of whatever sounds good. Warning to self: they are building a new Arby’s less than a mile from my office right now.

02/26: 212.2
So, my body likes to prove me wrong. I have now had two sets of identical weigh-ins in a row. Some of you may remember my rant about how I don’t know how some of you do that. I will sit down and shut up now. 😊

02/27: 213.2
Take out Chinese does it every time. Holding water like a bottle.

02/28: 213.2
Third set of identical weigh-ins in a row. Karma.
I am surprised the scale stayed at this level. I cooked T-bones on the grill last nice and DW prepared baked potato, asparagus and sautéed mushrooms. Better than a $$$ meal eating out. That is why it is hard for me to order steak when we eat out because I can do it so much better at home. Such a nice day yesterday!

03/01: 213.2
Oooff! Three days in a row! I am happy though. Last night I made an adult decision to choose a turkey wrap in lieu of the frozen pizza offered. Pizza is kryptonite. (even though it has all the food groups in it! Ha!)

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)

R142: Lost control and let the weight fly back on. Focus on getting my water and carbs under control this year
Exercise Goal for this round: Bike 2x, Walk 8x, Plank 8x
🎯Mini Goal: 208
I let the winter storm issues really mess up my weight loss success last week. The 205-206 slipped away and I'm back up where I was at the beginning of 2021. Time to turn this boat around.
I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
2/21 211.9 Walk 3 miles. 2506 cal, 316 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. My weight has gotten out of control. Today I’m going to focus on just one thing … 80 oz water. Then plan to build from there each day this week.
2/22 211.7 Walk 3 miles. 2045 cal, 136 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Targeting 80 oz water but drank 64 oz water yesterday. Today’s focus low net carbs along with water again.
2/23 211.9 Walk 4 miles. 1778 cal, 45 net carbs, AF. Drank 80 oz water, nailed net carbs. Today I add vitamins on top of getting my 2nd COVID vaccine.
2/24 209.6 Walk 3.4 + .6 miles. 1550 cal, 61 net carbs, AF. Very rough night … headache, arm sore, chills/shivering, achy all over, little to no sleep. Going to try to push through it today and walk the dog but likely will be back in bed trying to sleep later today.
2/25 208.1 Walk .6 miles, gardened a little, 1754 cal, 132 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Slept! Long morning & afternoon naps. Think I’m fully recovered. Weight is also shedding those winter storm pounds.
2/26 208.8 @ fishing camp 🎣 No exercise, long drive to camp, 1937 cal, 107 net carbs, 4 glasses wine. Plan to walk, clean the camp house, clean up the plant damage from the freeze, and maybe if I’m lucky fish this afternoon. Mom is getting her COVID vaccine today so I’ll be here to monitor her, cook, etc this weekend. Remembered to bring my scale to the camp!
2/27 207.9 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 + 3.6 miles, deep cleaned camp inside & out, no fishing. Still need to do some gardening. Mom had no symptoms last night after her vaccine. She is just tired.
2/28 208.2 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, more gardening cleanup and fishing but caught nothing (huge kill of fish and turtles out on the laguna after the winter storm). 2024 cal, 93 net carbs (this included mini blue bell ice cream sandwich & small baked potato), 3 glasses of wine.
3/1 208.1 Walked 3.6 miles, long drive in car. 2030 cal, 152 net carb, 2 glasses wine. Two large high carb meals with family.

Day/Weight/7-day Calorie Average/Comment

2/21 - 183 - 1741
I went a bit overboard yesterday. No snacks, but big lunch & supper. But it’s ok, I’m striving for averages.
💕 Ever-longer hours of daylight!

2/22 - 183.4 - 1862

2/23 - 183 - 1638
Weird — apparently I didn’t post yesterday, though I remember writing a post and reading many of yours. Hmmm. Maybe I hit Done rather than Save. Whatever! Striving today to lower calories while staying satisfied. More veggies & protein!
💕 Temperature rise — high 30s heading toward the 40s! 🌞

2/24 - 183.2 - 1780
Beautiful sunshiny day, heading to the mid-40s, though there is a sharp wind right now. 🌝 Birds are really active at the nest boxes. 🪶 Spring is getting close! 🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹
💕 Planning the plantings for my new flower beds. Dreaming in color!

2/25 - 182.8 - 1538
That’s better! We had grilled salmon for dinner — yummy & really filling, which kept me satisfied all evening. That’s the trick, methinks!
💕 Watching Mike the cat race around the house like a nut in the morning.

2/26 - 182.8 - 1382
I can’t believe we’re 6 days into this round already. Where does the time go???
💕 Writing at my desk in the very early morning when DH is still asleep. Quiet!

2/27 - 184 - 1786
😳!! Has to be water — yikes. I was a bit over my calorie goal, but even I can’t gain 1.2# of ugly fat in a day. I didn’t notice anything particularly salty yesterday, but I feel puffy (and heavy!) this morning, so.... It’s ok, today’s menu is planned. DH made a big pot of 15-bean soup with veggies, so more of that for supper, and I’m thinking tomato-sprouts-greens-cucumber-hummus sandwich for lunch. Mmmmmm. Also, it’s supposed to get to 50 this afternoon — raining now, but that’s supposed to end, so I’m planning a nice walk. 👟 Happy Saturday, all!
💕 The trickling sound of the aerator in the fish tank.

2/28 - 183 - 1686
Wow — seems like Feb. just started. It’s been a month! 🌘🌗🌖🌕🌒🌓🌔 It’s a rainy, gray morning here, but supposed to be in the high 50sF this afternoon, so yay! As Spring approaches, I’m feeling energized. 💐
💕 Being 7 rows from finishing a blanket I’ve been knitting. 🧶

3/01 - 182.8 - 1631
Happy March, everyone! Yesterday was a good day, though slightly more calories than planned. I finished knitting my blankie, which I started Dec. 31. Colors are a bit more vibrant than they look here, but you get the idea. I wonder how many calories knitting burns.... 🤓

3/02 -

Goal — walk at least 1 hour.

2/27-168-Walked 7 miles ate well. The walking is paying off but is very time consuming. I want to keep it up. It’s Saturday!
2/28-DNW-Ate well, rest day from walking. I bought a horse, finally. He is a tank and makes me look like a little kid on him, I need to enlist him in my walking program......we ought to get along just fine.
3/1-169-Had another rest day. Visited with a friend at a park and had MIL over for dinner since she had her 2nd shot. Made chicken with polenta-glad the scale was still in 160’s.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/20 …..205.0 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/21 …..205.0 ….. I made horrible choices yesterday eating on the grab from within my home. Calories were okay but the carbs were through the roof and contained very little nutritional value. I hope to make better choices today. I definitely need more protein today. Thankful for no weight gain.

02/22 …..207.2 ….. It was only ice cream and I skipped a meal for it! Yo-Yo. Disgusted! Now I will spend this entire round just trying to get back to starting weight. Why, oh why, oh why????

02/23 …..207.2 ….. I got nothing.

02/24 …..207.5 ….. Chinese food yesterday. I will have the leftovers today. I have taught myself to cut the meal into two meals, but sodium is sodium. We are in the heaviest part of winter right now. I can’t wait until May when it is no longer slippery and I can get outside! I miss taking my walks and hiking when I have a companion that will go (for safety). Come on Spring!

02/25 …..207.5 ….. I finished the Chinese food yesterday. I didn’t drink as much water as planned so I will push water today. I hope to get in some extra movement today in the house. The workers are only working a partial day.

02/26 …..207.2 ….. A very low cal dinner last night helped nudge me in the right direction on the scale this morning.

02/27 …..207.6 ….. Amish sour dough bread showed up on the scale. At another member’s suggestion, I have started using my very steep stairs as a form of exercise while my workers are here. I can only go up & down once at a time right now without getting winded or messing up my knees, but I plan on building up some resistance and eventually getting in more at a time. In the meantime, off & on all day is a start to something better! I wish spring was just around the corner, but where I live it is not. Patience is a virtue!

02/28 …..207.0 ….. That’s more like it.

03/01 …..206.6 ….. Spring in northern Michigan begins in May. Planting begins June 1st. Still a lot of winter left here. As a fall risk, I can’t get out on my walks but I did fit in about 20 minutes of dancing last night.

03/02 …..xxxxx …..

03/01 – 11,051 Steps yesterday. The most steps in a very long time. Certainly the most since my retirement!

Round 142

Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 128.2
GW: 125

GW for this round: 126.5

Round 135 (10): 136.6 to 133.6 (-3.0 lbs)
Round 136 (11): 133.6 to 133.2 (-0.4 lbs)
Round 137 (12): 133.2 to 131.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 138 (13): 131.8 to 130.2 (-1.6 lbs)
Round 139 (14): 130.2 to 128.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 140 (15): 128.8 to 127.4 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 141 (16): 127.4 to 128.2 (+0.8 lbs)

Goals for this round:
- No excuses - ONE maintenance day (having our pod-family over tomorrow for a mini-party for my son). I will keep a calorie deficit all other days this round.
- Addendum to the first goal: improve my calorie tracking and weighing. No more fudging and estimating or leaving anything off.
- Add an evening snack to my meal plan to prevent late-night binges.

2/21 - 127.2 - Where was this number yesterday when I ended the last round? 😂. Glad to get back on track - hopefully I can keep going down from here. Today is my only allowed “maintenance” day this round - we are having the other family in our pod over for a backyard bbq as a little birthday party. I’m going to try and stay in a calorie deficit for the day, but I’m ok with going up to maintenance. Yesterday’s calories were 1764 (my goal is 1700) - I’m going to start recording my calories for the prior day here to help keep me accountable.

2/22 - 127.0 - 2,111 total calories yesterday. High, but my Apple Watch had me at 2,213 for the day so I did manage to stay at maintenance. I tried to be as honest as I could with recording what I ate, though I didn’t weigh my food during the party. Now I’ve had my one day off - 500+ calorie deficit is my aim for every day the rest of the round.

2/23 - 127.2 - 1,789 calories yesterday - a little higher than I wanted, but I also took the kids to the park (a 1.5 mile round trip) and we played a lot of chase and were kicking the soccer ball around so my active calories were a little higher than usual too. Unrelated to weight loss - I got my daughter registered for kindergarten and my son signed up for a preschool program yesterday! I am just hoping so so hard that our area will be in a place where it is safe for them to go to school in-person this fall. It will help both of them so much (and I’ve got to admit that even just 2 hours twice a week completely kid-free sounds WONDERFUL to me!)

2/24 - 126.4 - 1704 calories - Ok, now I’m finally feeling back on track. Going by past drops, I’ll probably go back up a bit the next day or two, but hopefully I can keep the overall downward trend. I’m trying to decide now whether I want to make 120 my new goal weight after 125, or if I want to switch to eating at maintenance and increasing my strength training to focus more on building/toning.

2/25 - 126.8 - 1697 calories - I’m very happy to see the 126 again! Had a good day yesterday in terms of sticking to my meal plan; it was board game night for me and my husband and I was careful to save calories for a drink and cheese crackers. Didn’t sleep well though - had a lot of trouble falling asleep and then woke early. I’m hoping coffee and breakfast will help since I’m still feeling foggy and both kids are already going 100 mph.

2/26 - 126.8 - 1727 calories - No movement down, but at least it didn’t go back up again. I had to take my son to his 2 year appointment at the pediatrician this morning; he’s perfect and healthy but he did NOT want anything to do with getting weighed and measured there! They finally had me step on the scale, get my weight, and then pick him up and weigh again to find his from the difference. Now, my weight was higher than usual since I’d just eaten and was wearing a jacket, clothes and tennis shoes - but it was still only 130. Just realizing that it would have been around 170 if this had been needed at his last appointment (and I would have been so reluctant to do it) really impacted me. My weight today PLUS my 32 lb 2 year old is LESS than I alone was a year ago! What a difference a year (with 6 solid months of weight loss) can make!

2/27 - 126.8 - 1916 calories - Another one of those days where I just wanted all the carbs and still felt hungry no matter what I ate. I fully expected the scale to be up this morning, so I’m fine with holding at 126.8. While I let myself go above my planned calories, I did at least stick to a deficit.

2/28 - 1745 calories - 125.8 - Ahhhh! I was so excited to see the 125 on the scale this morning. I don’t think I’ll get there this round - I think TOM is about to start - but there is a chance I can hit my goal weight of 125 next round!

3/1 - 126.2 - 1984 calories - Yes, it’s high calories again, but in addition to my regular HIIT workout, I did a 4.5+ mile hike over big hills (while pushing a jogging stroller) yesterday. My watch had my total calories for the day at 2,600 instead of the 2,200 I normally see, so I feel ok with going a little higher than normal on my calories. I think the scale bounce is from my (very sore!!) muscles holding on to water after the intense workout. Will flush it out with lots of water today!

Previous days

02/21 Did not weigh, drank water already this morning. We ended up getting Indian take out food last night. I got a chicken curry dish with naan. Not sure at all what the count was for it but it was definitely worth it to have delicious Indian food. I can’t remember the last time we got Indian take out! I have a healthy breakfast/lunch planned and will be making braised short ribs for dinner tonight with roasted veggies to go with it.
02/22 117.4 Oh how I love water and it’s fluctuations in my body 😊. Oh well, I know I didn’t gain a true 2 lbs over two days, so that’s a good thing. Food has been solid today and was able to squeeze in a 20 minute spin bike ride too.
02/23 116.6
02/24 115.8 Very happy to be maintaining in this range. Work has been crazy again this week. Food has been solid though. I made tacos last night for dinner with chorizo meat and they came out yummy. My husband also thought they were really good, so that was nice 😊. Breakfast today was the protein chocolate lava cake because I needed a chocolate fix. I also love how filling it is with all the fiber/protein/and healthy fat combo. Lunch today is left over tacos because I have to run to my in laws to meet the plumber and contractor for the renovations, so dinner will be something light like toast when I get home tonight.
I got myself a bullet journal to help me manage some stress & to give myself a new hobby on the weekends. I bought myself some new markers and can’t wait to dive into it this weekend! I think it’ll help me reflect on my day and prevent me from staring at my phone before bed.

02/25 114.2 Was shocked to see this number. I think it happened because I accidentally fasted from 3:30 yesterday afternoon until this morning at 8ish. I’ll certainly take it and hope it sticks around. It’s been a stressful morning, but I was able to take the rest of the day off and take some time for myself.
I had one caramel Cadbury egg this morning because I impulse bought it at Target yesterday when I ran in to pick up something for my husband. It was worth it and was so good. Then, a little while ago I made myself 2 open faced egg and cheese’s on toast. I did a long spin bike ride, so I still have a good chunk of calories to work with for my lunch/snack after figuring out my dinner calories. I plan on making cheese burgers for dinner tonight from the ground beef from our meat CSA. The nice thing about that ground beef is that it’s probably 95% lean, so even an 8oz burger is only 300 calories and 500 total if I have a bun with it. I’ve also been craving a burger, so I’m really looking forward to it! I also make some oven fries with the potatoes we have left from our produce CSA.

02/26 115.2 Good day so far. I’m excited for tonight, my husband and I are going out to a fancy dinner for the first time since early March of last year. We are getting a hotel room in Boston and going out to eat at a restaurant we’ve had a gift card for since Christmas 2019. I’m not going to stress if the scale goes up from tonight because it’s a special occasion and I know it’ll go back down in a few days. Have a good Friday night everyone!
02/27 Did not weigh or post
02/28 Back on track today after a few meals of splurging. I got a lot of activity today, my husband and I hiked to the top of the mountain in the Blue Hills this morning. It was an adventure on the way up because it was really icy. Luckily, we hit a service road and were able to walk down that way and not have to slide down the mountain/hill. Then, later on today I was able to use the spin bike for 45 minutes. My husband and I had such a nice night on Friday, it felt so weird to be eating out at a restaurant but also really nice.

03/01 117.6 I think it was. Totally expected from my weekend and also at the highest weight of my cycle. Still maintaining in the 115-117ish range, so that works for me. Food has been solid today. Already loving my bullet journal. I love how it just has me thinking more about my day and being mindful about certain things.
For the bullet journal I’m tracking my water, have daily agenda items written down, my day described in 3 words, what I’m grateful for, a positive moment from my day, yoga and spin tracker, walk tracker, PT exercises/stretches, what stressed me out, an expense tracker, and a monthly list of to-dos. Some I write down during the day and the reflection pieces are for before bed to help me unwind and/or release stress.
03/02

02/21 I love lazy Sunday mornings. I plan to do a 30 minute spin bike ride and some yoga at some point.
02/22 So random but I love smoothies, especially one that has been perfected with the right balance of sweet/tart/frozen smooth goodness. Did a 40 minute yoga video and 20 miunte spin bike ride today.
02/23 Yoga and 20n minute spin bike ride.
02/24 I love the spin instructor who I follow on Playbook. She uploads the most fun rides! Today I did an ABBA themed 20 minute bike ride that was so awesome! I also did a wake up vinyasa flow this morning for about 20 minutes.
02/25 I love the new colored pens/markers I bought for bullet journaling. 45 minute yoga video and 60 minute spin bike ride.
02/26 I love the sound of my kitty Alfredo snoring, it’s so cute lol. Yoga for 20ish minutes this morning and a 30 minute spin bike ride.
02/27 Did not post.
02/28 I’m grateful for the sunrise hike we took this morning.
03/01 I’m grateful for the soreness I feel in my glutes from my spin ride yesterday. 60 minute yoga video this morning and 30 minute spin bike ride.

SW:223.2lb (So unbelievably disgusted with myself!)

GW:178lb

02/21 xxxx
02/22 xxxxx
02/23- 223.2lb. Wow- my highest weight ever, and I feel at an all time low. My weight has rocketed in the last 18 months, I now need to do something about it. I've lost weight with MFP before, just need the consistency to see it through, as I have got quite a lot to lose. Set my calories to 1700 per day and will log meals the night before. Today I am planning on sticking to my meals, with NO snacking in between. Going to go for a walk to burn some calories, but having to take it easy due to just recovering from COVID.
02/24- 221.4lb Went for a brisk 5K walk yesterday and stuck to my calorie goal. Had a nice evening meal of blackened cod, salsa and smashed avacado- it was really nice. Plan for today is to stick to my calorie goal and make sure I drink enough water.
02/25- 221lb. Stuck to my calorie goal yesterday. Plan for today is to meal prep for the next couple of days, to make sure that I stick to my calories. Aiming to do a HiiT workout today from YouTube just to get me moving again after COVID. Before Christmas I was running 5K 3-5 times per week, so want to slowly build towards that again.
02/26- 221lb. Was within my calories yesterday, didn’t manage any exercise, so I’m going to remedy that today by going on a nice 90 minute walk with my 1 year old (in the pram). Late night snacking continue to be an issue- I need to remember that just because biscuits etc are in the house, doesn’t mean I need to eat them!
02/27- 220.4lb. Went for a very long walk yesterday (13km) which was great. Stuck within my calories and even managed to squeeze a gin and tonic in! Another, albeit shorter, walk today; green smoothie for lunch and then not too sure for dinner tonight. Pleased with weight loss so far, I know it’s all likely to be water weight, but it’s good to see it coming down nonetheless.
02/28- 219.8lb. Another walk yesterday- the weather has been great the last couple of days. Got another one planned for this morning. Shopping day today, excited to fill the cupboards with more healthy stuff!
03/01- 219.6lb so happy that the scale continues to move, even .2lb keeps me motivated. Stuck to calories yesterday and even included a glass of white wine. Trying to stay AF 5 days of the week. Another long walk planned today, followed by a healthy risotto for lunch and fatoush salad for dinner.
03/02- 219lb. Stuck to calories and managed 80 minutes of brisk walking. Enjoying my outdoor exercise but I’m looking forward to the gyms reopening and me returning to CrossFit after a 2 year hiatus.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 142 (round 74 for me ) I''ve proved I need this to help me keep on track! Thank you @GrandmaJackie you so enrich so many of our lives by keeping the challenge going.

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 (same as last !) – 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.

02/24 130.2 – 10.45 miles walked yesterday, good healthy food day within calories & macros.
02/25 129.4 – yeah hi! Now to not self sabotage and maintain. 9.28 miles walked yesterday. Really craved chocolate yesterday, weighed out 4 squares, ate it mindfully, savouring the taste then got my knitting out so I wasn't tempted to indulge in more/start to binge.
02/26 129.4 – 8.85 miles walked yesterday, kept well within calories & macros.

02/27 130 – 8.66 miles walked yesterday & kept well within calories and macros.

03/02 129.8 – yes !!! scales are my friend for the final weigh in of the round!! 1.2 pounds lost, 10.67 miles walked yesterday, calories & macros all in credit. Ended round under 130 so I have achieved goal, yeah!!

L0VE FOR MYSELF – be more positive; half glass full not half glass empty.
02/25 loving this weight again! It's the lowest weight for as long as my records go on MFP & Libra (only started that app 27.12.18!). Loving it!!
02/26 got my 1st vaccine yesterday, and pleased to report no side effects; I did sleep solidly for 8 hours 21 (very unusual for me!) only interupted by getting up for the bathroom, don't know if this could be attributed to the potential fatigue that can be a side effect, but I certainly don't/didn't actually feel any fatigue

LOVE FOR OTHERS – Had my assessment to volunteer to help in the Covid vaccination process, all references in, waiting for the call now.
02/22 -Today the road map to getting back out of lockdown is to be announced – waiting with baited breath to see when we can finally see our families, it will be the first time since Christmas Day !!
02/23 – Had a wonderful video call with my 2 year old DGD, her talking has so come on!! 29th March lockdown is to be lifted and we will be able to travel to see DD, DS & families, can't wait to see our DGC, we will only be able to meet up outside, but we will be able to meet!! 5 weeks!!
02/24 – final 3 miles was with an ex-colleague that I have kept in contact with that I met up with.
02/25 – had invite for 1st covid vaccine, appointment is Saturday! Thank you NHS.
02/27 – whilst on my walk yesterday rescued an elderley man from his garden border; his electric wheelchair had gone off the path and he was stuck, he had been there for an hour and a half and others who he called to had ignored him? ! I think maybe they didn't hear him as I called across “Good Morning” and so only heard him because I was looking at him, I like to keep that faith in the human race!! I didn't have the strength to pull him out myself, so phoned DH, who I knew had just finished work and would be on his way home, to come out to us, chatted to him whilst we waited. Bill is 93, he was widowed 37 years ago and has lived in his house for 70 years, is a retiree from Goodyears Tyre Plant which was, until it was closed some years, one of the biggest employers in our town. He had a stroke 2 years ago, has had his electric wheelchair 7 months & had taken some fresh air by going around the block before deciding to take a look at the beautiful daffodils growing in his front border which is how he happened to go off the path!! Oh, and his birthday is the day after mine!!
02/28 Love the wonderful spring like weather we had over the weekend.
03/02 Start my volunteering for the Covid vaccination tomorrow.

March challenge – average steps for the last 10 days = 21,566, this has been slewed by a couple of particularly high days ( I normally aim for 19K steps ), during the challenge I aim to do an additional 5% which is a daily total of 23,723 – I'll do my best !!

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE

. Keep calm – we're all in this together!

February focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

Aims:

2021 Focus:

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!

[*] 2021
[*] 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.

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!

SW: 148.6 (1/10/2020)
GW: 128

Goals
- 1200 cal/day (plus eating back exercise calories)
- No alcohol
- HIIT 4x week and increase activity during the more sedentary parts of my day (like evenings)
- Started intermittent fasting on 2/5 for one month fat burn experiment

Day/Weight/Comment
(02/20 - 132.4)
02/21- 131.1
02/22- 131.1
02/23- 129.6
02/24- 129.1
02/25-129.8
02/26- 131.1
02/27- 130.2
02/28- 129.6
03/01 – 129.6
03/02 – 129.8

Conclusions on IF 16/8 (eating between 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.) after approx. 1 month:

What Works:
1. Structure - I like the structure and it keeps me on track, making it easier to make good choices.
2. Sustainability - It feels sustainable and I still have energy to knock out my cardio workouts fasted.
3. Results - I feel leaner and more muscular. In the past month, my measurements decreased by a half inch at almost all points. (And for what it’s worth, within 3-4 days of starting IF, my BIA scale has tracked decreasing body fat and increasing muscle mass percentages.)

What’s Not Working:
1. Hungry Mornings - Some days I’m really hungry in the mornings and I tend to eat more calories than planned early on in my eating window. On these days, I end up micromanaging calories which is not long-term sustainable for me. To address this pitfall, I’ve improved meal prep by having some cooked protein and veg on hand for that first meal.

Conclusion: I’ll stick with this for another month. I’m encouraged by how I feel, how my clothes fit, and my continued ability/desire to exercise fasted. I haven’t found this strategy to be disruptive to family meals, either. I can easily eat two satisfying meals a day plus a snack under most circumstances.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/21 170.4 Scales are at my Dad’s house this morning, so I’m not sure how this compares to yesterday’s weight on my home scales, but I’ll take it, for now!

that Emberly and I were able to go spend the weekend with Dad. He had such a great time with her!
02/22 172.0 The indulgences from my weekend with Dad. I’m fine with it, and will work on moving the scale back down this week. I’d really like to be in the 160s, even by just a smidge, by the end of this round, so hopefully that goal will be motivation enough. Got in 7.1-mile bike ride last night.

that it’s going to be warmer this week and I’m hoping for some outside garden work and exercise.
02/23 172.0 Really thought I’d have dropped a bit this morning, but no luck. Had a good food day yesterday and got in 3.36 miles of outdoor walks after work!!! Felt so good to be outside again!

that it is staying light long enough to walk, even after our early dinner. Don’t know about y’all, but I’m getting a hankering for SPRING!
02/24 172.4 Headed the wrong direction which I halfway expected after losing 6 pounds last round. Time to stop it and go back the other way again. Food wasn’t really bad yesterday, but I ate too much at dinner and was uncomfortable afterwards. I have been doing IF still, at least 16 hours on all but Friday into Saturday when we have a standing breakfast appointment with the grand baby. Sometimes I make it 18 or 19, but I’m consistently over 16. Got in a 1.53 mile walk and a short (3.62 mile) bike session last night.

that I was able to walk again during lunch yesterday and that it was daylight when I got to work yesterday morning! Spring is coming!
02/25 172.8 I got nothing! What I’m eating is not reflected in this number. Did 7 miles on the bike last night and played out in the yard on a gorgeous afternoon.
02/26 170.6 Whew! That’s better!

that it's jeans day at work on Fridays and the ones I've been wearing are too big now. Down two sizes in my jeans today.
02/27 171.6 I was hungry yesterday! I kept pretty good control, but felt like I needed to graze all day. Ended my eating at 5:30 though, so finally did get satiated. Did 7.2 miles on the bike.

that I might get some seeds of cold weather veggie crops in the ground today. It's supposed to rain off and on all day, but I'm hoping to squeeze in some time to fill the pots and plant some seeds. Fingers crossed!
02/28 170.8 Planted some of my garden pots and did well on food choices.
03/01 173 Nibbled on cheese, meat, and crackers way too much yesterday. Back to it today. Really need to do a better job with my tracking; that would help me prevent some of that.
03/02 171.6 Had an excellent food day yesterday and tracked everything. Got in two walks and worked on getting in steps throughout the day.

that I get my second Covid-19 shot today! See you in the next round!

Personal exercise goals for March:
Average 10,000 steps a day

03/02 - 144.0 - I'm back, I survived. Surgery went well. Follow up today to take the bandage contacts out. I can see really well. Phone and computer font size turned way up so I don't strain and I have dry eyes I'm doing lubricating drops in every hour for. It was not the most pleasant experience but so far, it's worth it. I can see quite well, though the 5 day old contacts aren't ideal. Hopefully things become clearer/sharper once they come out this afternoon. Pain, a horrible eyedrop aftertaste, and inability to make your own food equals not eating much. Yesterday I could function well and able to eat like normal. Been trying to push water (aiming for 60 oz) which was difficult between my water refill being in the kitchen/dining room (full of windows and super bright) and sleeping as much as possible. Yesterday, I managed estimated 65. Today I'm hoping for 90, but with my 1hr commute to my follow up (and 1hr return) I'm not sure if I'll be able to squeeze it. Plenty of leftovers from last night's dinner for lunches this week, at least. I have a semi-formal event Saturday (socially distanced) so I'm hoping to be on my best behavior to look okay in my dress -- tried it on Wednesday evening when it came in the mail and my bloated (pre-TOM) belly pooch really stole the show. If I can maintain today's physique, I'd be content. Thanks for all the well wishes, positivity, and prayers

Edit: I just realized I had a weight goal... and I far surpassed it. Whoa! Go me (:

Previous Day's Comments

02/21 - It'll take a few days for things to level out and I'm alright with it. Still an improvement and I'm happy with that. Fam's land is completely destroyed with limbs and trees down everywhere. Worked on that for 3hrs yesterday and I'm definitely sore today. Going back out today, not sure how much work and how much chill and enjoy we will be doing.
02/22 - Sodium, soreness, and not enough water. Today, hopefully, will be better with more structure from work. I'm realizing how out of shape I am spending 2 days on cleanup. Still a LOT to go. Busy week for me this week:
Monday - call at 8 to see about getting truck in for repairs and rental car squared away (originally last Monday)
Tuesday - Take dog to get spayed (originally last Monday)
Wednesday - Take taxes in to get done (originally this Friday but I'll be out of commission in recovery)
Thursday - get my eyeballs lasered (originally last Thursday).
Whew! With that, Thursday I'll weigh in and won't be back until it's safe/feels ok to look at a computer (Tuesday maybe? I'm hoping, I only requested Monday off next week. But boss understands the situation as he had Lasik a few years ago)

02/23 - Shedding that water from all the sodium. Managed 90oz water yesterday. Only managed 14hr fast, though. Need to up that. Lots going on in evenings so dinners have been way later than I'm used to. Dinner wasn't as late last night so 16hrs IS doable, I just need to push a bit. Pup off to her surgery today. Getting super nervous about mine now.. Last week wasn't so bad because by Tuesday I knew it wouldn't happen, even if the office was open. This week, it is for sure. Eeek. I'm ready for it, but I'm not haha
02/24 - Getting back on track. Fasted 14.5hr (boyfriend made breakfast) and a tad over 90oz water. Dinner was much earlier last night so 16-17hrs very doable. Tomorrow is surgery and I'll have to break my fast before I go in (no anesthesia but the meds they give us are to be taken with food). Struggling with grogginess again this morning. Figured yesterday's was due to the sleeping pill but I didn't take one last night and I'm feeling dead to the world again this morning. Hopefully this feeling sticks around for the weekend. Sleep is the best medicine for recovery and I've been worried insomnia will keep me from getting good healing sleep post-op. I'm really getting nervous now...
