    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 My children are all grown since I originally made my will which changes things.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.

    03/06 …..208.4 ….. Went to my appointment yesterday to begin the process of updating my Will, my Trust, my Power-of-Attorney and my Advanced Directive. I was given some homework and my next appointment is March 17th. My luncheon out was light, I ate half and finished the other half for dinner. Bad snacks last night but my scale is steady. No glucose drops. I hope the lunch doesn’t creep up later in the week on the scale, as sometimes happens. I will try to keep it light today. I took my truck yesterday so I could get my new bathtub from Home Depot. That means one less out-of-town trip this month. A blessing for my waistline?

    sfh68jfmu1sx.png

    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.
    03/06 - 7,489 Traveled but still got in some steps.

    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)

    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.

    WOW! I got sidetracked and almost forgot to come here! Very strange, not sure what broke my routine!

    @beagletracks Love your pup! I love beagles!! The first dog I remember my family having was a beagle. My brother named her Fibi, his spelling for Phoebe. My other favorite dog is a yellow lab. Wish the house was big enough for those!!

    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.

    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
    3/3 3679 steps, not bad considering we spent over 4 hours sitting in the car, waiting due to someone else’s surgery having problems.
    3/4 3338 steps, neighbor was feeling draggy and wasn’t sure she could do it. Really sucking in her O2.
    3/5 4492 steps, neighbor still a bit draggy but we went around a slightly larger block. We will try to walk twice today.
    3/6 Temp was glorious yesterday but neighbor deemed it too windy to walk.

    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.

    03/06 …..208.4 ….. Went to my appointment yesterday to begin the process of updating my Will, my Trust, my Power-of-Attorney and my Advanced Directive. I was given some homework and my next appointment is March 17th. My luncheon out was light, I ate half and finished the other half for dinner. Bad snacks last night but my scale is steady. No glucose drops. I hope the lunch doesn’t creep up later in the week on the scale, as sometimes happens. I will try to keep it light today. I took my truck yesterday so I could get my new bathtub from Home Depot. That means one less out-of-town trip this month. A blessing for my waistline?


    03/07 …..207.6 ….. That is more like it! There will be a family meeting today with my children in regards to my Will & Trust. It is part of my homework. We will have pizza takeout. The meeting is this evening. It will be impossible to cook anything major because my work crew is epected today (thus the meeting this evening after they leave.) I’ll be kicking the crew out by 5:00 so my meeting can be held at the kitchen table. This is a difficult meeting and moment for me. I don’t have much time or opportunity to eat during the day because of the remodel and work crew (just breakfast), so I will not be able to stress eat. That will help save the calories for dinner. In saying that, it reminds me that I do miss intermittent fasting. However, since I have to eat breakfast it makes it pretty impossible to fast. Sometimes the workers do not leave until 10 or 11 at night and as a diabetic, I could never fast that long (nearly 24 hours?). Doing my best with what I can, just like everyone else. Yes, we are all in a different boat, but we are in our boats together!

    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.
    03/06 - 7,489 Traveled but still got in some steps.
    03/07 – 6,827 Steps. I should have tried harder. I probably could have gotten more in. I have been doing some planned stairs in the house though.

    Height: 5’ 3”
    SW: 163

    GW for this round: 125

    Round 135 (10): 136.6 to 133.6 (-3.0 lbs)
    Round 136 (11): 133.6 to 133.2 (-0.4 lbs)

    Round 140 (15): 128.8 to 127.4 (-1.4 lbs)
    Round 141 (16): 127.4 to 128.2 (+0.8 lbs)
    Round 142 (17): 128.2 to 125.8 (-2.4 lbs)

    Goals for this round:

    - Reach my goal weight

    3/3 - 125.4 - 1769 calories - Rough night with multiple wake ups from the kids, so I was really dragging this morning. Seeing the low weight on the scale was a nice pick-me-up! (Coffee helped too 😂) Got a 45 minute workout in on Ring Fit this morning and will do a 2 mile walk with the dog tonight.

    3/4 - 125.8 - 2162 calories - Tough day yesterday. I was tired and not feeling well from lack of sleep; the kids were fussy and since it was cold and grey the only activity we did was making chocolate chip cookies... with predictable results. I didn’t completely binge, but I ate more of them than I should have. Today is a new day, and one maintenance day will not stop me. I just have to make sure it is just ONE this round.

    3/5 - 125.6 - 1701 calories - Much better day yesterday! Stuck hard to my calories and even played some Beat Saber so my deficit was a little higher than usual. We ordered takeout for dinner, and while I was careful to be reasonable with calories I’m sure the sodium was still sky-high. It might hit the scale in the next day or two.

    3/6 - 125.4 - 1758 calories - Started feeling really bloated and uncomfortable last night right before dinner - not sure what I ate that caused it. Going for a walk and drinking a bunch of water helped, but I was still feeling it this morning. The day kind of got away from me which is why this post is so late. Got the groceries and my plan is all set for meal prep tomorrow.

    3/7 - DNW - 1731 calories - Scale died this morning, just showing “Low” instead of a number. I’ve ordered a new battery and will pick it up today. I’m also all set to meal prep today - making chocolate banana overnight oats, asparagus bacon cheddar egg muffins and chicken chimichanga filling for this week as well as some lasagnas, marinated flank steaks and breakfast burritos to freeze.

    29 yo female
    5’2” Small frame according to my wrist circumference
    SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
    Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
    Goal Weight: 110
    Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113-> 113.8 ->114.6 -> 113.6 -> 115.8-> 116 -> 115.6 -> 117.6 -> 115.8 ->118.2-> 117.4 ->116.6 -> 116.8 ->115.6 -> 116.6
    Goal weight for this round: Maintain in the 115-117ish range.

    03/03 116.6 Yesterday was a good day food wise, I just didn’t have time to post yesterday. Maintaining has been working well for me and allows me to have a splurge on the weekends while and eating with a manageable deficit during the week. Some days the deficit is more than others and I don’t stress if I eat at maintenance during the week.
    This challenge will be interesting because it is during the time I hit my lowest weight for the month. It was great to see 114ish last week and maybe I’ll see it this round too?
    I got some yoga in this morning for about 20ish minutes and plan on using the spin bike later today.
    03/04 116.0 Busy day but wanted to at least post this. Got some yoga and a walk in.
    03/05 115.4 Another super busy day with work. Food has been good so far. Planning to go out to eat tonight and enjoy a couple beverages.
    03/06 DNW Going out to dinner last night with my husband was fun. I didn’t go too crazy but it was probably salty. I ended up having three boneless buffalo chicken wings, so they were the size of nuggets and I have ¾ of a grilled chicken quesadilla. I was full by the end of it and didn’t get dessert. I had a few drinks throughout the night. My husband wants Thai for lunch but I’m not going to get it. I’m kind of just craving toast with cream cheese, a couple of eggs, and maybe fruit for breakfast and then for lunch I’ll have yogurt with fruit and cashews.
    Work has been stressful recently so I’m also working on the way I respond to stressful situations.
    03/07 Did not weigh. Food was much better today. It’s been a nice weekend and feeling ready to start the new work week. Hopefully, it will be less stressful than the past few weeks. Fingers crossed.

    03/03 20ish minutes of yoga and plan to use the spin bike for 20ish minutes
    03/04 Yoga and a walk.
    03/05 HIIT yoga session today and the spin bike. The yoga video was just a little bit faster paced which was a fun change.
    03/06 Not sure what I’m going to do yet.
    03/07 Managed to do a 60 minute ride but didn’t do yoga, but I will do some stretching before bed.
