Elbee1 · September 2021

4’9” petite-sm. boned female. 59 yrs
Ultimate goal: 98 lbs (subject to change)
SW (starting over--May 24, 2021): 160.3

I started mfp on 2/20/11 at 160.2 lbs.
My lowest weight on mfp was 140 lbs in 11/2013 and 5/2014.
My highest weight ever: 168+ (and I wasn't even pregnant at that time... ) That was in 12/2016.
Just for the record used to be an athlete a long, long time ago. Used to teach Aerobics and Step Aerobics. Used to LOVE exercise.
Nowadays, I don't exercise at all. Why, oh why not? How can I go from loving exercise and doing tons of exercise to nothing at all?
Going from low blood pressure to being on medication for high blood pressure. What have I done to myself?!

Round 151 Lost 3.1 lbs. EW: 157.2
Round 152 EW: 159.6

Round 161 Goals: Go to bed earlier & get up earlier. Drink at least 36 oz of water. “Any loss is a win!”, as @musicsax always posts. I will also add “Any exercise is a win!”

8/31 160

9/1. 158.8

stress ate yesterday. Very stressful day, yesterday. will prolly show up tomorrow or over the next few days. Was surprised to see this weight. Almost didn’t weigh this morning due to the unhealthy stressful binging.
9/2 158.8

another stressful day... it's almost midnight... and things keep happening. Right now, my Dad is having an issue. Hope he doesn't have to go in the hospital, again... Parents today have kept me, my husband & one of my brothers hopping. Too much to write... oh well. They are being taken care of, right now... so .........
9/3 157.2

I'm thrilled, but this is probably not real since stressful eating took place late last night. Still trying to keep my Dad out of the hospital a little longer... He can't seem to go 60 days without being in the hospital. Those of you who know about Medicare will understand... Also, naturally I'm very concerned about his well being!!!
9/4 157.2

Ok. I was happy to see this, again. My Dad seems better. So far we really like the SNF that he is in and the doctors are communnicating with us, too. They seem to be on the same page with us, now... as far as Dad's history. Although they don't seem to know it, they are listening to us & that is a really good thing!! There's been sickness in my workplace & altho the sick one tested negative... he sounded horrible & I've been exposed to whatever it is that he has... so I am hesitant to visit my parents, now. I sure don't want to spread it to the SNF community and the ALF community.
9/5 157.2

yesterday, I had a small binge so could be it will be reflected in tomorrow’s weigh in or in a couple days. I am going to start small amount of exercise today.
9/6 157.2

Did some exercise, drank a little more water.
9/7 158 Had a major binge last night. Ghah! Gotta stop that. Had more water! Exercised! and then blew it...
9/8 158 Did great yesterday, but still probably from the binge I had late on Sept. 6th... plus the small binges.. So, that's ok. I'm highly motivated!

Loss this round 2 lbs!!! Yay!

9/1 117ish Hey all, it’s been a crazy month with moving and work. I’ve missed checking in and reading everyone’s posts. I hope you’ve all been well and that I haven’t missed too much! I’m glad I’m back and ready to get my butt in gear with posting daily again. I’ve missed the daily routine and need it back in my life. I’ve been consistent with my cardio exercise but after moving back to my in-laws home I’ve been slacking on strength. That’s my goal to get to next week and work it into my schedule. I’ve been able to maintain in the 115-117 range, so I consider that a win in and of itself. I’ve also maintained tracking for the most part except for the days that go haywire.

9/2 117.6 Flash flood warnings are still around for a bit so I decided not to run this morning. I’ll use the spin bike after work to get some cardio in, maybe I’ll work a bit of strength into it too. My husband recently accepted a new job after completing his fieldwork and passing his OT license exam. So, he starts that in about a week and half which is super exciting/stressful for him. The last time I was posting regularly I had mentioned having a couple interviews, I decided that role wasn’t a good fit for me and withdrew my application. Now I’m just focusing on building some other skills in my current role to help myself now/in the future. Have a good Thursday everyone!
9/3 116.6 or .2 post run this morning. It was a good day yesterday, I ended up doing a 25 minute ride on the bike after work and took a break during work to go for a walk with my husband. I made tacos last night for dinner and they were yummy and the beef I used was super lean so the calories were really good too. I did a little under 2 mile run this morning because I was feeling kind of tired, so I didn’t want to push myself. TOM is arriving soon and I typically have a day or two of fatigue prior to it, so I think that played a role in the way I felt this morning.

9/4did not post. Still have to get into the weekend posting habit.
9/5 did not post. Still have to get into the weekend posting habit.

9/6 117.4 Still waiting for the arrival of TOM. This long weekend has been a mix of healthy and not so healthy food. I have been active though. Sunday I I dud a 30 minute spin bike ride and this morning I ran 5k.
Saturday I went to the farmer’s market and got a brownie and a jar of salted caramel sauce. Both are already gone. I finished the sauce last night with ice cream because I didn’t want it in the house any longer because it would make me want to get more ice cream. (Note to self: Don’t indulge in free samples at the market. They make you buy stuff your hips don’t need.)
I made a version of ratatouille for the first time yesterday and it was yummy! My husband didn’t want to try any… so more veggies for me! I’ll have leftovers with pasta tonight for dinner, not sure if that’s traditional but oh well.

9/7 118.2 Oyy vey. Went for a run this morning and a walk this afternoon. Hoping this fluctuation up lowers over the next week or so. I can feel the fluid retention when I wake up in the morning because my fingers feel stiff. Food has been healthy so far today and dinner is well planned as well. Have a good night!

9/8 117.4 Went for a 3 mile walk this morning instead of a run. I just wasn’t feeling up for intense cardio this morning. Food was good all day and I even resisted fast food that my husband got because I knew I had a peach, tomato, basil and corn salad waiting for me at home. I'm happy with a neutral end to the round. See you all tomorrow!

🍄🍁🍄🍂 SEPTEMBER 🍂🍄🍁🍄
🍄🍁🍂🍁🍄🍁🍄🍁🍂🍁🍄

I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine. (Now 84 😁)
• in Maintenance for over 2 years.
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily. People are still dying out there………
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
September focus:

maintain weight < 150 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
Aims:

2021 Focus:

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
