OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016)
OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205
This round is the roughly one-year anniversary of when I quit the 10 challenges last year to obsess about the virus. Stuck at home unless I was at work. My main form of exercise was pulling the frig or cupboard handle. It took about 3 months to climb back on the wagon.
I really would like to reach my OGW sometime in 2021.
Goal for this round is to have a lower average than last round. I have a lot of work to do to get back to where I was last August and beyond.
Still need to get some form of exercise kick started.

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 143
Month/Day: Exercise / Comment
03/03: 212.2
Looking forward to the day when this scale reading is shocking. The same way I feel now about 250, my all-time high a few years back.
03/04: 211.4
Happy to touch the 211’s today. Here is a fun fact. Exactly one year ago today I was at 211.4.
My year over year weight graph looks like a camel with humps that occur around the holidays. In 2020 I grew another hump from March to June. (COVID-19 is my scape goat, though I have nothing to blame but myself) This year instead of going up for the next three months, I am heading down.
03/05: 211.6
This is no big jump up, but I was still puzzled by it since my calorie count was right-on yesterday. Then I reviewed the day and I now suspect what I logged for the corned beef and cabbage at yesterday’s Rotary Luncheon was overly optimistic.
This is how I can get into trouble. By lying to the MFP app. 😊

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”, 60R140 20200210: 206.6 (-2)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
3/3 207.4 Walk 3.2 + .5 miles, 1882 cal, 88 net carbs, 1 glass of wine. Validating original plans and contracts for DD’s 1 year anniversary party in April as a follow up to the wedding last year that went from 150 people down to 10 during lockdown. Stressful since there is much to do and the photographer just backed out.
3/4 206.7 Walked 3.4 + .6 miles, bike 20 min, 1989 cal, 44 net carbs, 1.5 glasses of wine. Afternoon of Tostitos feeding stress. Need to break that habit.
3/5 206.4 Walk 2.8 + 1.3 miles, garden clean up, 2417 cal, 53 net carbs 2 glasses of wine.

03/05 - 144.2 - Up a tad from having wings last night but still in my goal range so I'm alright with it. Sauces always get me with sodium. Fasted 16.5hr, drank 95oz water. Today is a travel day and eating out. I imagine the next 3 days will be eating out. Will portion and try to make healthy choices. Remembering I'll be wearing a dress Sat evening that reveals my belly bulge will help me. Don't want any crazy bloat! I'll also have 5 days before end of the round to recover, so that's also helpful. There's still a chance to meet my goal therefore I need to be on my best behavior! If I frame it in my mind correctly, I think I can stick to it.

Previous Day's Comments03/03 - Despite my 2hrs in the car, I managed 90oz of water! Fasted 18hrs, as well. Shocked my 2 glasses of wine last night didn't cause a jump. I suppose there's always tomorrow. Today, because of the wine, my window will open several hours later. Oh well, I think I have enough morning meetings that will keep me busy for a good chunk of it. Also did measurements since I woke up a bit before my alarm and got myself a NSV (: Down half an inch on my hips and belly pooch area since my last measurements! For my eyes - They checked my vision before my contacts came out -- I'm already at 20/25. They don't typically see that result until the 1 month follow up. I'm ahead of schedule! I was previously 20/200 so its a huuuuge jump for 5 days, especially with the 5 day old contacts still in. Speaking of, I'm not just a big baby after all. My contacts were ripped! That explains why the pain seemed so bad compared to what others described in their recovery blogs and videos. From here, my vision will come and go in waves as the top layer continues to heal, settle in, and the "scar tissue" gets smoothed over by my eyelid via blinking. It will gradually get clearer and crisper over the next couple of weeks. They say up to 6 months for eyesight to stabilize at its absolute best. I'm hoping stabilize (no more waves) within the month with just gradual sharpness after. I'm cleared to drive regardless so life can resume as normal again.
03/04 - I found out my scale likes to lie. I stepped on the scale and ended up losing my balance a bit. The scale registered 147.7 while I was stable. Lost balance while it was analysing my BF%/water%/bone density. Number on the scale startled me? Not sure. So I stepped back on to get the full analysis. 144.0. Weird. Nothing changed. Off and on again. 144.0. Welp, now when I get a really high number that doesn't seem right, I know to get off and on again a few times. Up a bit, but I'm not worried about it. Dinner was late and a bit heavier. Went back for seconds on a really delicious salad (broccoli, shredded carrots, apple, cranberry, bacon and dressing). Fasted 14hrs, not sure water, somewhere between 70-90oz. Leaving early (9/10am) tomorrow (day off). Only have pajama bottoms and daily stuff/meds to pack. If I can't post before we leave, I'll try to manage in the vehicle. Note to self: buy dramamine

Day/Weight/Comment
3/03 201.4 Dam I new I did bad but didn't think I would go back up I actually did my 20 mins exercise after work and 5 mins abs but after that it went down hill and I ate 4 enchiladas and an ice cream cone. I need to get below 200. The hardest thing is to not binge eat. I've had a bad habit of eating one thing bad and just give up on the day and start eating everything. I need to get it in my head that if I eat something bad it's not the end and to continue watching my calories it's better to just go over 1 or 2 hundred rather than 6 to 7 hundred. The food will always be there no need to binge just save it for tomorrow 😉
3/04 201.6 WTH I don't feel like I did that bad nor good but maybe a little better than bad. I actually get a full Julian Michael s workout but of course thats not enough. I also need to watch my calorie intake. Today will be better
3/05 200.4 omg when I first step on it said 203.4 I quickly got off and freaked out then got back on and it went back down and it says at 200.4 for the following times I got on

03/03:314.8- Had a good day yesterday sticking to my calorie plan. Not so much for exercise, but got good gains (well, losses to be clear!).
03/04:315.4- Did great on calories yesterday, and yet up. Frustrating, but dealt with this before.
03/05:314.3 - Another good day, and things are going in the right direction. I do realize daily weights can fluctuate, never get discouraged, just a little frustrated some times. Weekend on the rise, time to buckle down!

Day, Weight, Comment
3/03 – 201.8 – 11,193 steps, 30 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. Uggggggggggg. Whelp, at least I’m down from January, barely. Gonna keep on doing this. Focus today on afternoon/after-work eating and drinking. Sometimes a glass of wine leads to a bowl of chips leads to cheeseburger delivery.
3/04 – 200.4 – 14,203 steps yesterday. Not feeling well. Brain fog, headache, congested, sore throat, exhausted.
3/05 – 199.8 – 10,568 steps yesterday. Still not feeling well. My mind is scattered in a million directions. I had a job interview this week and have two more coming up, but I don’t know what to do! I’m nearing 50 and I don’t have kids. I have many years of experience as a writer and as an adjunct college instructor (temporary, part-time, no security, no benefits). I’m not going to invest 6 years in a PhD at this point. My dream job would be teaching college English full-time, but that’s nearly impossible without a PhD. I have an interview for a job at a community college next week, but I doubt I’ll be selected. I think I’ll get an offer for a writing job next week, but I’m not sure that’s what I want to do. I’ve also just applied to a secondary teaching licensure program. I just need a couple of classes and the student teaching component. I have a fantasy about making a bigger impact on the world as a high school teacher, but I worry it’s only a fantasy and I’d hate it with all the things standing between good teaching and the realities K12 teachers are dealing with. My heart says be a teacher; my brain says be safe and accept a writing job.

Sept. ‘18. 187. @GrandmaJackie -Thank you!!!!
R143 Goals-166, alcohol only Fri., lots of water. I’m glad to be here with all of you! 🌸☕️ Karen
3/5-167-I haven’t had much time to walk because I’ve been spending so much time out where my new horse is. I eat a healthy breakfast and head out there for the day and it keeps my calories low. My girlfriend is coming here today for the weekend for our own quilting marathon. Our quilt guild gives out “comfort quilts” to locals with an illness or loss of a loved one; we will be quilting as many of those as we can. Hopefully we won’t snack too much.

Increase daily steps to 8000
Looking forward: You are not stuck at home.
You are SAFE at home. One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
March focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 143- 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/02 …..207.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/03 …..207.0 ….. Traveled yesterday afternoon and evening and I still show a drop. Some wise food choices while dining paid off. I am beginning to miss my Intermittent Fasting routine. It is impossible to practice this with the work crews here. I eat quickly in the morning before they get here so my sugar won’t drop while they are here. One man brings his wife and son every day who sit at my kitchen table. I won’t cook or eat in front of them so it makes it difficult. I am keeping some Premier Protein on hand in the fridge if they stay late and it gets bad. The real challenge is not to gorge myself with food when they all leave since I am so hungry. We all have our specific challenges and right now, that is mine. With very little breaks, the remodels of several areas will go on for months and months so planning is key. Temps have been warming up a touch but it is very unusual in March in my area. It has made everything sheets of ice and very dangerous. It is too early for spring so things will get cold and snowy again for a couple more months. It is just nice to see the sunshine.
03/04 …..208.4 ….. A severe glucose drop last night. I kept my cool pretty good. A bowl of cereal with milk very late night did not help my scale this morning, but it did fix the symptoms. Aiming for a well-balanced day today. Tomorrow is travel out-of-town for my appointment with attorney. Time to update my will. I haven’t made changes since my husband died 5 years ago. My children are all grown since I originally made my will which changes things. Also, with the recent sale of my two businesses, it really needs to be done. I will try to keep any luncheon choices reasonable.
03/05 …..208.4 ….. Small quantities but bad choices. Another glucose drop last night. This one was the type that makes you feel drunk. Woozy, unsteady on feet. Strange foot to floor sensations. Clouded thinking and judgement. High fall risk, must hold on to things because of staggering. Not as fast coming on as the feeding frenzy kind but something that has to be dealt with. Very cloudy vision. Strange thinking. Drunk is the only way I can describe it. This shows how out of shape my diet is (when too low calorie or carb puts me in this state). My body doesn’t want the (healthy) change. I will take it slow. Traveling today to work on having my will & trust updated along with some other legal matters. Lunch will be out-of-town. Everything is challenging right now.

03/01 – 11,051 Steps yesterday. The most steps in a very long time. Certainly the most since my retirement!
03/02 - 6,181 Steps yesterday. It was a busy day with the remodel. Full house.
03/03 - 4,937 Steps yesterday. Unexpected travel with lots of car rides. I keep my fitbit on my non-dominate wrist, not my ankle, so I know I actually got in over 10,000 with ALL the shopping. However, I had no time for any extra planned exercise yesterday so I am grateful for the steps in the big box stores.
03/04 - 6,589 It was a paperwork day. Not as much movement or as many steps as I would have liked.
03/05 - 4,276. Another paperwork day as I prepped for my attorney appointment today for my will & trust (and other matters). Travel today will bring light steps for tomorrow also.

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.

3/3 120.0 No TMI x 2 or 3 days plus DH is driving me crazy. Golden Corral this afternoon. Right now I could NOT care less about food. UGH Taking neighbor to have first cataract surgery in an hour.
3/4 120.0 I am tired of food!
3/5 119.5 Well that’s a little better.
I’m going to try to make myself exercise 3 days per week. I have lots of exercise DVDs plus the computer. I also hope to get back to extended fasts from Tuesday PM to Thursday PM. Details one day late.
3/2 4493 steps about double a “normal” day

We’re headed for the sunny mid-50s today — yay! I’m headed for one of my favorite parks for a walk this afternoon. I’m feeling energized!
3/4 - 183.2 - 1702
Back down to chilly for the next few days, but next week looks gorgeous, so there’s that. I need someone to drop me at an isolated cabin for a couple of weeks with my hiking boots, my writing implements, and just enough food to get by to break my evening snacking habit. Why is that so hard? I don’t have a step counter, but walked 3 miles. This spring & summer I’m aiming for my old 6-7 miles most days with longer weekly walks.
3/5 - 183 - 1686
I’ve been a lazy bum all morning, but am heading out for a walk in a few minutes. Happy Friday, my friends!

Day - Weight - Comment
3/03 - 127.4 lbs - Completed 10K steps, 8+ cups of water, ate home made balanced meals. Shortness of sleep on night before made me sluggish and had to push myself to do 10K steps. Ate junk food at snack time - chips, sweets, hummus etc. Bad sleep affects me in more ways than one. Will ensure proper sleep and feed myself something substantial at evening time to avoid unhealthy snacking.
3/04 - 127.2 lbs - Completed 14K steps, 30 jump ropes, 8 cups of water, ate home made balanced meals. Ate planned snacks. Key observation is that I need good heavy late evening snacks to avoid going off the plan. Started jume ropes. Will like to increase the count and going wihout breaks to 100.
3/05 - 127.2 lbs - Completed 17K steps, 66 jump ropes, 8 cups of water, ate home made balanced meals, limited snacks. Had heavy evening snack and it helped binging but still got hungry late night and munched on some wafers and peanuts. May be replace late night snack with a glass of skim milk. We dont buy skim milk anymore, should start buying small jugs.
