I am wondering how your husband is doing. An update (when you get time) would be wonderful! I continue to send great vibes for an easy recovery and healing for him!

Thank you for checking on him. It's been a rough road the past 6 weeks. After his first treatment he ended up in the hospital. Dr. said he was a day away from full septic shock. They are not sure what caused it but they decided to stop the preferred treatment for his bladder cancer. Then the Dr. office was too slow to schedule his new treatment so I called Cleveland Clinic last Monday and we saw the Chair of Urology on Tuesday. He had set up a meeting with 4 other Drs. and they have decided on a new course of treatment. I actually didn't realize the Clinic was the #1 urology hospital in the world. I feel better knowing my husband will be getting the best care available. We are now just waiting to hear when the surgery will be scheduled. In the meantime, my husband is back to running on his treadmill and doing all kinds of chores around the house due to his retirement. He is feeling good now.

I have to admit that I've been pretty withdrawn the past month. Between worrying about Dan and trying to juggle tax season work, I've barely had time to weigh myself and post my weight. I hope you've been doing well!

04/12 - No hugs, it's expected. Combination of factors: 2 days of slight dehydration with limited water/bathroom breaks and 90 degrees, full sunlight, no shade; full body soreness; large, late dinner to make up for lack of food all day. Hopefully I can get back on track in the next couple of days. I'm pushing my workout to tomorrow since I'm still very sore today and need to rehydrate fully, first. Depending on weather, I'll try for a walk with the pup. It isn't much, but it IS gentle movement.
04/13 - No hugs, part of the rehydration process. I got my 90oz in and feeling a little better. Still bloated, but my body will realize soon enough I'm giving it plenty and drop the excess water weight. Need to get fasting back in line with goals. Last night was super late because my old phone got randomly stuck in a reboot loop so I had to run to Verizon and get a new one before they closed. Today I have no excuses to not be on track. Also knocking out my workout here in a few minutes before work gets too hectic.

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 147
Month/Day: Exercise / Comment

04/12: DNW
Broken Scale. Just trying to do the right thing without any “wishful thinking.” I fizzled out posting and reading the last two days of round 146 due to scale problem and family “problem” of house guests and unbridled munching.

It will be interesting to see what number pops up on a new scale.

04/13: DNW
Keep fighting the good fight everyone!

04/14: 213.8 - 15 stone 3.8 pounds 😊
OK I am back in the saddle with a lot of rocks in my saddle bags and have to say I am not surprised at the reading. I went 7 days without a scale and smack-dab in the middle was a weekend with guests.

Time to get busy catching up and preparing for a getaway planned for early May.

04/15: 212.6
Good morning everyone!
Got my second shot yesterday along with DW. She is not reacting well at all… I am doing well.

04/16: 212.2
I expected better than this based on yesterday’s intake. I think I may have an explanation...

DW feeling a bit better this morning.

04/17: 212.6
Up a notch because of salt. We had a frozen pizza last night to celebrate DW amazing recovery yesterday. Today she is as good as new!

04/18: 212.8
Yesterday was busy! And somewhat over my calorie goal.

04/19: 214.4
Ugh. I think I am eating too much and retaining EVERYTHING.

...went to your blog. Keep it up. Saw that you like steampunk. Try "Stormdancer: The Lotus War Book One." I kill more time as a result of perusing the new book (Sci-Fi) shelf at the Public Library....

CamandJarvis · April 2021

Y'all are about the only ones who understand, so I want to share and get the excitement out:

I was feeling down on myself all last week and through the weekend. I feel trapped at my weight (I do now, but I have the pre-TOM excuse that allows my mind to let go a bit). So I did some research on myself. Around March/April last year I had reached low 140s. But as soon as I slipped up ONCE, I was back to 153-155 very quickly. It took several months to get down to 140s and only a couple weeks to get back to the 153-155 range. Ouch. I figured that may have been a set point for my body. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. But my body really loved to hover around that range.

Well, this year, I'm slipping up almost daily. Things are picking up pace in my life and it's been really hard to stay on track when plans change or spur of the moment things come up. Yet, here I am, below 150! Last year, staying below 150 meant I had to be absolute perfect 100% of the time. Now, I'm here being perfect about 1% of the time and staying below 150. This gives me so much hope and happiness, as well as baffles me. It took a year to get to this point. Maybe 1 more year of hard work and I'll be 10lbs lighter and a new "set point" type ordeal THAT much closer to goal (or even AT goal, assuming I don't change it as I get closer based on body composition).

This 10 day challenge has really really changed my mindset in incredible ways. This is just another new example of how it has helped tremendously. I went from feeling so mad at myself for a week and half to today feeling much more hopeful and happy about the progress made. Now, the hard part: keep that in mind and keep going!

@deepwoodslady Sorry I didn’t see this until now. I hope you had a better day yesterday and that today is even better!

R147 Goals — walk more 🏃🏻‍♀️ No evening snacking. Calorie goal <1400.

My scale readings bounced up 4 pounds when I changed batteries, so I didn’t suddenly gain 4+ pounds. I didn’t want to write that down but, other than the horror of gaining, what difference does it make? So I’m going with the new readings, dammit. I’m lowering my calories goal by 100 to see if that breaks the stalemate without going too low (I actually think 1400 is too low but...).

Day/Weight Change/Calories/Comment

4/12 - 188.8 - 2134 🤯
I had a relapse bout of emotional eating last night, as in “I kept to my goals for the past 10 days and gained so ppffftttt” eating stupid stuff, but I’m back on track today, with meals planned. I’ve also decided to recast my calorie goal as a limit, not a goal, and if I get through dinner with very low calories, not feel I need to make up the dif to guard my metabolism, which is clearly already screwed up. I’m pretty depressed about all this regain right now (8# from this time last year, 50 from 3 years ago 🤬), not least because I don’t seem to have any warm-weather clothes that fit & I hate that I need to go buy some fat clothes. Ok, enough, and no, I don’t want any cheese with my whine. My goal this round is to lose something, anything!

4/13 - 188.8 - 1406
I managed to keep my calories lower, so there’s that. It’s a beautiful day for a long walk and some more weeding/grass removal from garden beds. Have a lovely, everyone!

4/14 - 190 - 1745
Ugh. DH brought pizza home and I did not stifle myself. Too much food, too much salt. I can’t believe I’ve let myself gain this much (even if some is my scale shifting upward with new batteries). Maybe I need to see a shrink. I’m so torn between not wanting to buy back into diet mentality on the one hand and wanting to stop gaining, start losing on the other. Just fed up with myself.

4/15 - 188.2 - 1537
Ok, not bad. A few more calories than I wanted, but ok. I think I’ve flushed most of the salt at least.

4/16 - 187.6 - 1367
Yesterday was a good day. 😁

4/17 - 187.8 - 1516
Still wrestling with calories, but my macros are better, %’s hanging around P20, F35, C45. I haven’t eliminated evening snacks, but I’ve planned better for them. It’s been a bit chilly, but I’ve gotten some walks in plus garden work (expanding some beds). I’m really looking forward to warm weather!

4/18 - 188 - 1525
Nothing much to report. 😁 Happy Sunday, all.

4/19 - 187.6 - 1546
Planning to enjoy today outdoors as much as possible as tomorrow it’s dropping below freezing with strong possibility of snow. No!!! I think I may gather a big bouquet of tulips & daffodils this afternoon rather than letting them freeze. My forget-me-nots opened yesterday — I love them. Can’t cover everything. Here are a few shots of my garden yesterday. Have a great week, everyone!

Day, Weight, Comment

4/12 – 200 – 10,163 steps yesterday. Camping this weekend and TOM. Still really depressing looking at the scale.

4/13 – 200.2 – 10,533 steps yesterday. Wow. Just wow. Way to go, fatso. Still my TOM, but typically the water weight drops when it starts. So, I guess this is my weight now and I’ll need to start over. Weight loss goals adjusted again.

4/14 – 200.2 – 11,369 steps yesterday. Fasting today.

4/15 – 196 – 10,292 steps yesterday. Balance, grasshopper.

4/16 – 198.4 – 11,274 steps yesterday.

4/17 – 199 – 10,292 steps yesterday.

4/18 – 199.4 – 15,314 steps yesterday. Second vaccination on Friday and not 100% since then. Eating habits really, really bad lately. I know I need to take control.

4/19 – 195.2 – 10,221 steps yesterday, fasted. I’m getting whiplash. Focus today on eating in moderation and watching the sodium.

@musicsax thanks for the advice on counting my blessings today to balance things out. I will do that and may even post a few when I am home and able.

@quiltingjaine, thanks for the special hug.

@jaccimc63 Thanks for the update on DH. I forgot you were from Ohio so yes, yes, yes to the Cleveland Clinic!!!! I did remember you are an accountant and this is an especially challenging tax season with the unemployment etc. so good luck with that. Thank goodness for extentions!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/11 …..206.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/12 …..207.4 ….. I ate 3 meals yesterday instead of my normal 2 which pushed my calories and carbs up a bit. However, I did make good choices and I got out in the yard yesterday evening for a bit to do some more raking and yard clean-up. The house I bought was empty for awhile so the leaves and pine needles are never ending. I burned extra calories had over 11,000 steps so for that I am grateful. Good luck everyone this round!

04/13 …..207.2 ….. Another small step forward in my journey. I am grateful for any progress. Now…… to avoid the two steps back!

04/14 …..207.6 ….. Likely a no TMI uptick. Yesterday was a good day with both diet and exercise (movement).

04/15 …..207.6 ….. I worked my butt off in the yard yesterday to counteract those 2 slices of pizza. No gain is good.

04/16 …..207.2 ….. More yard work yesterday after a worker left turned out great. I got lots of work done and was pretty far from the fridge at the same time. Win-Win.

04/17 …..206.6 ….. Well……..according to trend weight dot com, I will be at goal with a 54 pound loss on Nov. 16, 2032. Now if the isn’t a kick in the butt, I don’t know what is! I was a little depressed for a second seeing this on my screen, but now I am feeling positive. It is the push that I needed for today. Scale is down over half a pound today so I’m off to another good start!

04/18 …..208.2 ….. I am not in a place of love today. Trendweight now tells me today that I will lose my 54 pounds by July 29, 2054. Right now, I hate everything about my life. I feel so disadvantaged all because I want to live near my children and grandchildren. Not making excuses but truth is truth. I hate the medications I am on that causes weight gain. I hate my bad thyroid. I hate my diabetes that stops me from the fasts I see other people using as a tool due to sugar drops. I hate that my town has no gym, no ymca, no public pool, no sidewalks, only gravel with horse poop on the sides from the Amish horses. No bike trails. I hate that we are expecting our typical snow storm in April here in Michigan. I hate that we can’t plant until June and our first snow is usually in September. Most of the year outside activities are prohibited, especially for a fall risk like me. I hate that we have one small grocery store that doesn’t carry all these wonderful diet products and low cal or low carb foods that I see pics of on MFP. Okay, rant over. Yesterday I had 12,574 steps, 5.31 miles, 2748 calories burned. Only 3.75 hours of sleep. Late dinner, up early and no TMI. It looks like it will be a chilly but beautiful day today. I will work on getting out of this bad headspace, pull up my big girl panties and try to make this day count again. Lots of hugs are okay, friends. I need them today.

04/19 …..206.0 ….. Feeling better today and of course, the scale reading helped as did the TMI. , I appreciated all the hugs and comments. Thanks everyone. I will be traveling today for some building supplies and such. Dinner will be out so I expect an uptick on the scale tomorrow but I will try not to panic. 19,281 steps yesterday in yardwork. I burned 3359 calories and walked 8.15 miles in my yard. That explains the drop on the scale and the very very nice drop in body fat.

04/20 …..xxxxx …..
