😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
May focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 150- 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.

Hope you are all well this Friday morning.
Round 150 saw me go from 84.5 kg (186.3 lbs) to 82.1 kg (181.0 lbs) losing 2.4 kg (5.3 lbs). Yay!
In total I've progressed maybe 75% of my planned weight loss journey. It's been fairly manageable so far, although I can see that I will never again be able to wing my way through a week without counting calories - my "instinct" about what's the right amount of food is just way off, particularly when it comes to snacks.
Anyway, on to round 151!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 150 (round 82 for me ) I continue to prove time after time that I need this to help me keep on track! Thank you @QuiltingJaine for setting up the new challenge.
Female age 63 5' 4” - Challenge again for this round; need to continue to head back to maintenance weight– get back to and stay at or >130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind, continue to follow all latest Government guidelines in roadmap to normality for C-19 virus. Be positive for the vaccine – I've had my first, second is due this round.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/12 132.4 – 11.33 miles walked yesterday,calories well in credit. Little DGS more stable; started to reduce fast flow oxygen to see how he reacts, started milk feeds again & talk of moving him out of IC to HDU, fingers crossed he continues to improve.
5/13 132.4 – 13.83 miles walked yesterday, mostly to and from my vaccination volunteering session. Calories well in credit. DGS back on HDU, fetched him off diuretics after he passed a litre of urine as they don't want him to lose too much fluid too quickly, but now he has started to swell up again, so restarted lower dose & started him on a little solid food too which bowels seem to be tolerating, all positive, but still a long way to go!
5/14 132.4 – 4.34 miles walked yesterday; another day taking older DGS out for the day, calories over.
5/15 133.2 – 10.88 miles walked yesterday, calories under goal.
5/16 133.2 - 9.09 miles walked yesterday, calories under but carbs over due to pizza night.
5/17 133.6 – travelled up to take DGS out for the day, weather not good, hence no structured walking leading to calories being over. I have my second vaccination this morning (hurray !) Next stage of roadmap back to normality today; 6 people allowed to meet up indoors, pubs, restaurants, cinemas, theatres all open indoors again.
5/18 133.6 – 14.77 miles walked yesterday, calories well under (570). No side effects whatsoever from 2nd vaccine yesterday. Back at our dance class last night, so good to start to get back to some sort of normality & see everyone again as well as enjoy a really good dance! Go out with sisters today for a pub lunch indoors & we can actually hug too in this latest step of the UK progressing forward from Covid!
5/19 133.2 – 9.96 miles walked yesterday before I met up with my sisters, we had a lovely time, food portions were very big, but I left the majority of the fries. Calories estimated to be just within limits!
5/ 133.2 – 13.72 miles walked yesterday, calories in credit, I'd like to get back to the round start weight tomorrow, but as taking DGS out today there will not be any structured walking, so ?
5/21 133.8 - As no structured walking 250 calories over. 1.4 pounds gained this week, must use next round to get that back off!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE . Keep calm – we're all in this together!

I hope everyone is having a great 10 days! 45yo busy working mom here, gradually changing habits and mindset - friend me for accountability.
Heaviest - June 2011 - 290
Start Weight - March 2021 - 261.2
Round Start Weight - 255.2
Round Goal Weight - 254
Ultimate Goal Weight - 160, but I'll be ecstatic to be less than 200 again.
5/12
5/13 255.2 - I was super happy about this scale reading because I had been in a scale rut for a bit.
5/14
5/15 257.8 - I was so happy about the previous weight that I laid off the water drinking and made some unproductive food choices. Learning lessons is a NSV also. Lol
5/16 - 255.6 I had a pretty good day yesterday, especially for a weekend day. I even packed a smart lunch when I went to town to get groceries, so I wouldn't eat fast food for lunch. I was yearning for some fries, but I felt better for not getting them.
Stayed under my calorie goal.
Achieved my step goal and started using resistance bands.
Reached my water goal.
5/17 - 254.8 I had dinner at my parents, but took a meal to eat instead of eating what they were having - for a couple reasons ... They were having leftover brisket and making biscuits (I'm a biscuit fiend), and I have a subscription to Real Eats and needed to use up a meal before they start going bad.
I started yoga today and it went ok. I can see how it will be beneficial.
Stayed under my calorie goal.
Achieved my step goal, bands, and yoga (15min).
Reached my water goal.
5/18 - 252.2 I started physical therapy yesterday for plantar fasciitis. It went well and I'm counting that for my stretches/movement, so no yoga today. I'm hoping to get my heels back to normal so I can be more active.
I did make a couple of unwise food choices, but was able to stay under my calorie allowance.
Stayed under my calorie goal.
Achieved my step goal, bands, and physical therapy..
Reached my water goal.
5/19 - 252.2 Not a bad day yesterday, but it turned out to be long.
I stayed under my calorie allowance..
I completed my steps, and used the resistance bands, as well as doing my pt stretches at home. I completed my water goal.
5/20 - 252.0 I don't think I was very disciplined today. My 7mo was feverish overnight and we were frequently. So I felt the tiredness creeping in today. I could tell my focus slipped some and bring tired, I just wanted some comfort food. I ended up eating more roast and potatoes at my parents' than I should have, but it was tasty and I don't feel horrible about it. At Physical therapy today I rode the stationary bike for a bit and did lots of stretches and exercises. I'm not a fan of the "Toe Yoga" exercise, btw. Despite feeling unfocused -
Under calorie goal.
Achieved movement and step goal.
Finished my water goal.
5/21 - Hey you guys.... I'm checking in, but my day yesterday was unorganized and I'm not able to weigh this morning. My 7mo has been admitted to Vanderbilt hospital for an eye infection and we've stayed the night.
Surprisingly, even with crap food options last night, I stayed under calorie goal..I got steps in and had some stationary bike time early in the day before knowing the hospital was on the agenda. I didn't finish my water goal. I'm hoping that we go home today.
As of yesterday's weight, I'm excited to say that my round goal was met!

05/21 goal: 193.0
Day/Weight/Comment
05/12 - 195.0 (drizzly day; pulled 6 ticks off me yesterday, a new personal best/worst)
05/13 - 195.0 (weather looks promising; another hike through Tickland is scheduled for me and the dogs)
05/14 - 194.5 (another long hike scheduled for early afternoon; may try to take all 4 dogs, with 2 on long leads (give me patience); today I will remember my bug jacket, because the blackflies, though not yet biting, are flying around my face and it's annoying)
05/15 - 194.0 (sunny AND the weekend! More walking and gardening in my plans; also I don't recommend taking 4 dogs on a walk with 2 on long leads - DON'T DO IT - one was really ticked off and they kept getting tangled up; as well I forgot my bug jacket and had no free hands to swat flies away)
05/16 - 193.5 (hoping it'll clear up later; a long exploratory hike in the plans today; wish I knew more about eating wild plants; tried some goutweed (grown wild at an old collapsed house site) and it was nasty though it is supposed to be edible. Maybe it needs to be cooked.)
05/17 - 193.5 (the long hike was brilliant, a mostly grassy path winding through mixed forest; another 6 ticks on me, but I refuse to give up hiking the woods just because the tick population has exploded this year; just 2 months ago, a brisk 2-h hike would have killed me and I would have had to keep stopping to rest but now I can just keep on going so I know I'm making progress with my fitness. Of course it probably helps that I have 30 less pounds to haul around with me!)
05/18 - 193.5 (yard got checked out by a black bear last night, 6 and 1/2 hours ago, and the chihuahuas are STILL barking about it; probably will not get a woods walk in today because I have to go out)
05/19 - 193 FINALLY (a bit drizzly today but better than yesterday's thunderstorms; plan to go out on a long walk again. Oh, and 193 pounds is my official one-third-done day! Whoohoo! "Only" 13 pounds of obesity to go before I am "only" overweight! I am more determined than ever and believe that I am starting to see a difference in my appearance at last.)
05/20 - 193 again (took a long walk to the end of a woods trail and it ended in a clearing, much to my disappointment, not much further along down the road; debating whether or not to start the C25k now or wait until I weigh 180, which was my original plan)
05/21 -192.5 (I did do the first day of the C25K and it wasn't as bad as I thought, but anybody watching me plod along or listen to me huff and puff may have felt differently, so I will continue on with it).
05/21 goal was 193 and I reached 192.5 so goal achieved! See you in Round 151!9 -

Hello everyone! An expected jump up because of the general lack of precise care during the past week regarding what passed over my gums. We had a fantastic week enjoying some very wonderful scenery with friends. And yes, the Grand Canyon can not be described with pictures.
We ate a lot, but we also walked a LOT.
Then, last night back home we celebrated DGS’s 4th birthday! So cute.

Resetting well after the trip. I ate right yesterday and went to the gym after work and did a “Sprint” (spinning) class. First time in over a year. It kicked my butt.
I woke up this morning with a mild case of motivation. I will keep an eye on it.
5/20: 209.4
Even in the midst of a mild case of motivation, mistakes can be made. I need a full-on case of motivation.

This was a weird round. Hard to actually evaluate my goals. First four days on vacation. Returning home with some extra cargo. Managed to get rid of 4.4 lbs. in six days. Got really close to where I was before vacation. I will call it a win.
As far as my average weight goes, it is a guess. For the 8 total days that I could not weigh, I entered the average of the weigh-in on the day before vacation with the weigh-in on the day after vacation. Poor science, but hey, poor science supports my agenda this time. (I never was good in science class.)
See you all next round.

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.

Pizza (salt) yesterday, but I kept my calories in line nonetheless. Beautiful day coming up! Wishing you all a successful round.
5/13 - 188.4 - 1632
No surprise. Yesterday was a crazy day food wise — got together with 3 writer friends and the hostess had candy, nuts, pastries... I had some but counted as lunch. Then pizza leftovers for dinner. But I’m back on track with a good breakfast this morning, salad fixin’s for lunch, and baked chicken & broccoli for dinner. I’m off in a few for a walk and a nursery run, then planting. Yay! A garden day! I hope you get to do what you love today, even if only for a little while.

Again, not happy but also not surprised — time lag from Wed. Gorgeous day coming up, and I have lots of plants to keep me busy planting plus an arbor to assemble. That should keep me mostly out of trouble.
5/15 - 190 - 1696
Ugh. I know this increase is water from a series of very carby days, but yuck. Otoh, I got my arbor in place and went for a nice long walk. I plan to spend much of today planting & doing other gardening. Supposed to be in the 70s today, rain tomorrow, so perfect. Have a lovely Saturday, all!

Hard to believe we’re half way through May, and half way through this round. ⏳
5/17 - 190 - 1352
Aacckk. Salt, though — we ordered Bob Evans turkey. I replaced the dressing with broccoli, but the food tasted very salty to me, and I feel puffy. This has to stop, though. I’m aiming for lots of water, and a long walk as well as garden time today. At least I’ve done reasonably well with calories this round.

Back in the right direction at least. It’s so tempting to go extreme, but I know that’s what got me into this re-gain after really restrictive elimination diet. Gotta say, I’m a bit miffed with the doctor & dietitian who put me on that in the first place. Anyway, off to the garden. I’m trying something new — garden for 45 min, then walk 15-20 min loop around neighborhood, rinse, repeat. Otherwise I get so involved in the garden that I skip the walk. We’ll see how that goes!

I ate more than I’d planned, but spent 3 hours digging, planting, weeding, hauling things around, so didn’t do too much damage. I did have some ice cream last night and instead of just filling my bowl, I weighed it. Wow — a serving is MUCH smaller than my eye says! I’ve decided not to completely ban anything, but I do need to check my portions. I think even a little bit will satisfy desire without adding too many calories, and it seems a more sustainable way to live.
5/20 - 187.8 - 1800
Finally! I guess all the digging and lifting is burning a few calories. I’m not getting my long walks yet as the plants need to get out of their pots, but short walks also count. 🤓

Bouncy bouncy. That’s fine. Even if I didn’t lose weight this round, my activity level is way up, so all good. See you next round!6
