    @beagletracks I’m glad you are considering a different plan of action. I wish there had been online learning 50 years ago. I might have been able to get a degree while being a STAHM. Circumstances just didn’t slow it. Best of luck!!!

    Thank you for your continued support and encouragement, @quiltingjaine! I really appreciate it. <3

    Thank you, @musicsax! I thought it did, but not sure they did! :D I feel good, though, and that's most important.

    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.

    3/06 – 201 – 12,417 steps, 30 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. Driving out into the desert today. Hoping to get some focus and clarity. I’ve got to start focusing better on health goals – both mental and physical.

    3/07 – 200.4 – 20,800 steps yesterday. Fasting today.

    3/08 – 198 – 11,876 steps, 10 min weights yesterday. Little drop after fasting. Hoping to make this one stick and start losing again. Feeling more centered this week. I have papers to grade today and will make a concerted effort not to snack on high-calorie foods during breaks. Fruit. Vegetables. Fruit. Vegetables. Eat them, self. Eat them. Just remembered I have a huge bag of Brussels sprouts I need to use so will roast those in the morning to snack on all day.

    3/09 – 198.8 – 14,464 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. Job interview today – busy day.

    3/10
    3/11
    3/12


    @beagletracks Congratulations on being Firmly in Onederland! Good luck to you on the job interview today.

    Thank you, @deepwoodslady! Let's hope I can stay here!

    Popping in to say it’s been a crazy day plus couple of days. I started a post on my lap top this morning but didn’t have a chance to add it here. Food has been solid and the weekend water weight is dropping like normal. Have a good night!

    Day/Weight/Comment
    03/03 129.8 – 13.18 miles yesterday, ate well within calories & macros.
    03/04 130.2 – 11.91 miles walked yesterday, ate within all calories & macros. Did first volunteer session at vaccination centre, really enjoyed being able to get out, do something different and interact with people!
    03/05 131.4 - :( chocolate monster got me, enough said!! 11.94 miles walked yesterday.

    exercise.png

    03/06 131 – 11.8 miles walked yesterday & back to healthy eating.
    03/07 131 – 10.74 miles walked yesterday. Saturday is pizza & wine night, managed to stay just within calories, but fat & carbs over.
    03/08 130.2 – 13.25 miles walked yesterday, stayed well within calories & macros dispite Sunday roast lunch with all trimmings. First day of starting to get back to some normality in UK, step 1 is schools go back today & we're allowed to meet 1 person from another household outside for a picnic!
    03/09 130.8 – 10.49 miles walked yesterday, struggled foodwise!
    03/10 131.6 – 10.28 miles walked yesterday, met up with a friend and had a takeaway afternoon tea on a park bench; it was so good to catch up. I am struggling at the moment with staying under calories, had a stern talk with myself in bed last night!!
    03/11 130.8 - 11.12 miles walked yesterday. Back on track foodwise, walked to and from my volunteer session at the vaccine centre, but there was not much scope for steps whilst there. Today is set to be wet & very high winds, hope I can get a window to walk.

    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 !!

    03/01 21,157
    03/02 26,594 - made conservative effort to do more steps after walking reckie to check how long it takes to walk to vaccination centre.

    03/04 24,358

    Day/Weight/Comment

    03/03 - 200.4. Getting below 200 is an important milestone for me. It means I'll have lost all my lockdown weight. Yesterday was a decent day in terms of food (mainly because I forgot to eat rather than making good choices though) but have been really inactive this week.

    03/04 - 200.6. I'm a bit all over the place this week for some reason. Managing to keep my calories down, but just can't motivate myself to get out for walks. Might be that the weather has been a bit rubbish after a few days of lovely Spring sunshine.

    03/05 - 199.8. Finally below 200 - even if only just about and maybe briefly.

    03/06 - 198.8 I was really pleased with this!

    03/07 - 201.0 - not what I wanted to see, especially as Friday had been below calories and had been moderately active.

    03/08 - 201.2 - definitely the wrong direction. I had a fairly indulgent weekend, but made sure that my calories for the week stayed under a 1750 average per day. So I know that across the whole week, I am still eating in a deficit. But the weekend always brings saltier foods, more processed foods etc. But it's Monday. I'm back on it. I can get this back on track.

    03/09 - 201.2 - yesterday pretty good in terms of calories, but not massively active because work continues to be really busy.

    03/10 - 199.6 - really pleased with this. I always seem to get quite a drop mid-week after the effects of the weekend wear off. Hopefully can drop a bit more the next couple of days before I ruin it all again at the weekend
    :wink:


    03/11 - 198.4 - what's that Skippy? It's midweek and I've dropped a bit? But don't get too excited because it will rebound a bit by Monday?

    Last round ended lower than I started but my average stayed the same which isn't ideal. Going to treat March like its January!

    OSW 88kg
    RSW 62.4kg {2.6kg loss this year }
    Average last round 62.9 kg

    03/03 - 62.3 kg. A public holiday here so gym a bit later and a day sewing.
    03/04 - 62.9 kg. Hoping just a blip. Gym done.
    03/05 - 62.6 kg. Gym done and aerobics later today.
    03/06 - 62.0 kg no gym today just a little gentle shopping and see a friend for a socially distanced coffee
    03/07 - 62.0kg. Quiet OMAD day
    03/08 - 62.4kg. Not bad for a Monday. Gym done. 68
    03/09 - 61.9kg nice! Gym done
    03/10 - 61.9kg again. Happy with that and with aerobics yesterday and gym today.
    03/11 - 61.5kg. Very happy with a new low this year... Only 1.5kg until I get back into maintenance . Gym was a bit slow today.

    03/12

    Previous Day's Comments
    03/03 - 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
    03/05 - 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.
    03/06 - No scale
    03/07 - No scale
    03/08 - Not bad! Not for 3 days involving a few drinks and only take out food (: I played it very safe and limited myself on both food and alcohol so I didn't have to struggle as much this coming week to find my balance and get back on track. I think it worked out well. Shouldn't be too difficult as I suspect a lot of this is water weight -- once I get back to drinking my 90oz, a lot will wash away
    03/09 - And back down. Wasn't expecting to go down so quick. Especially since I broke my fast at 13.5hrs yesterday. I was carsick Sunday and didn't eat much at all so I realized I'd be helping my body to refuel it properly before forcing fasting on myself. Today I will resume my 16-17hr fast schedule. Got my 90oz in, thankfully, and feeling much better from that. Did go outside to pull up the last of my jalapenos that died during our crazy winter storm (I was hoping they'd survive) and repotted my tomatoes and anaheim chilis. I still have baby sprouts of habanero not quite ready for repotting and once my seeds come in the mail, I have jalapeno and scotch bonnet peppers to start on. A late start on those, but I didn't have the room to start them all at once! Especially since this weekend, the kiddos come for spring break and I'm using the daughter's room as my seed starting room.
    03/10 - Normal fluctuation, I'm still at goal. Just need to hold on to that. Fasted 17.25hr, drank 90oz.
