12/02 - 149.9 - All habits good but water was close! I ended up finishing my water goal with dinner but then had to wake up twice to use the bathroom..oops. Weight is alright, expected. The commute is hard, especially since it hasn't been that frequent - dinner is within 45 minutes of my lights out and the early wakeup doesn't help the scale. Body isn't used to having to function that way yet. Had a touch of heartburn from eating so close to dinner, but luckily it passed quickly. Hopefully with time and routine, my body will adjust to that as well. Feeling sleepy but coffee is brewing and the smell alone helps a bit (coffee is more like a placebo than actually doing anything for me. I don't drink more than my small travel mug which is about 1 1/2 to 2 cups if I drink any at all then switch to water for the day). Below I attached a picture of a goal I'm working on with QSciences (feel free to join if you'd like). Also keeping up with my NF Journey habits. I did my NF bodyweight at work yesterday (1 round and I'm still sore from it) and my plank. Thankfully tomorrow I don't have to work because today's QFit challenge is tripling the squats I do with NF bodyweight! I plan on spacing them through the day, though.

Previous Day's Comments11/28 - Progress is progress, no matter how slow. I'll take it. Especially since Fam wanted to go out last night, we didn't make it home until almost 1am, and I'm running on about 5 hours of sleep. I'm also quite sore, particularly in my legs, since I did a small bodyweight workout yesterday. Knee is still tender, but doing better and I'm trying to work around it. Water was very good yesterday but I can still tell I've got some bloat to contend with. Will keep hacking away at my habits, though. Fasted yesterday for about 16.5 hours. My goal fasting window doesn't open up until 2pm today so we shall see how long I can hold off before my body yells "no more!" It may take a few days to retrain my body to this fasting schedule so I'm not terribly worried. Again, progress is progress, no matter how slow.
11/29 - Hey, it's still progress! Think some of this weight is DOMS, some hormonal. I was beyond sore by end of day yesterday. Struggling to get in and out of the chair. Today I'm still sore, but I've already pushed through 5 minutes on the rowing machine at a slow pace (NF app "morning activity" which can be meditation, journaling, workout, yoga, stretching, any activity that will wake up the brain and begin the brain-body communication WITHOUT electronics. Right now, it's creating the habit, so they only have us doing 5 minutes until it becomes habit, then moving on to longer times. I also used their method of "temptation bundling" like I did with running: I can only listen to my podcasts when I'm on the rower, walking, or running.) I'm going to try to push through at least 1 of their body weight workout rounds (they aim for 3 rounds of it, but I only did 2 on Saturday and I was barely able to walk yesterday so taking it easy today with rowing to help supplement). Food wasn't great, but I did manage to stay within calories and started fasting really early (had more of a lunch that ended about 3pm) and 90oz water. Going to push as far as I can with fasting today so I don't have a horribly long eating window to stuff my face. Went shopping and have balanced dinners planned for the week. Will be commuting at least Wednesday, possibly Thursday so I have a balanced meal for those planned. It should give me enough for at least 3 days so I'll have to find something healthy for today's lunch to get me through. Hopefully I can see 140s again without too much issue in the next day or two.
11/30 - There we go, back into the 140s. Now to hold on to that. Yesterday was good with all my daily habits. Finished 1.5 rounds of the bodyweight circuit and I'm still sore, but less so. Also did yoga stretching yesterday beforehand to help with the soreness. Active rest today was a nice wake up yoga morning routine. I have a conference webinar taking up most of the morning so I'll try to focus on getting up for some light movement (even if its pacing) throughout. Batch cooking some chicken burrito bowls for lunch today through Thursday. Tonight will be shrimp tacos. Tomorrow I commute in to work so I may or may not be able to post, but will weigh in and do my best to pop on. Same with Thursday if I end up having to drive in (dependent on how tomorrow goes). At the very least, I'll be back Friday.
12/01 - Guessing this is due to waking up several hours earlier than normal. Not worried about it since I look and feel way less bloated than yesterday! Long couple days ahead but I've set myself up well enough. Healthy snacks (salmon packets, protein shake), a balanced lunch, and water all packed and ready to go. Plan to do bodyweight exercises (squats, pushups, lunches, planks) during breaks at work plus I'm sure I'll have plenty of walking to do.

Oof, just realized I misread my QFit challenge. As you can tell, my brain isn't quite awake yet when I check in haha! Had a break between morning meanings to hop on my phone to catch up on posts (yay!)
Tripling pushups today and tripling squats tomorrow (on top of my NF strength habit)
We are viewing a house Saturday (we got pre-approved for a loan on Monday) since pictures don't show the two additional bedrooms (only shows master bed) to see if it fits us. Hopefully I can walk after tomorrow's squats!7 -

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.

Leftovers in.
11/29: 206.6
Leftovers out. That is crazy. I think my scale was trolling me yesterday.
11/30: 207.2
Having some trouble nursing my discipline back to health. I wounded it during the Thanksgiving holiday.
My first scale reading of this round obliterated any possibility for a decent ten-day average.
I have never been as interested as I am this year about being interested. Caring about caring. Paying attention to paying attention during the holiday season. This makes it difficult to think about the annual office parties, open houses, family gatherings that are all ahead of me. Not to mention the gatherings I don’t even know about yet.
In the past for me, this has been all about the food (including last weekend.) Now, today, I will try to think more about the people I am with. My discipline is not mortally wounded! But, it has an infection.
12/01: 206.2
Steady day. Good exercise.
12/02: 207.4
Open house by one of my consultants this evening. Going to try to at least go lower carb.

12/02 - 167.2 lbs - DEFINITELY ate too much last night, but jumping right back into things today! Hopefully it flushes out quickly!

11/29: 208.6 - Wow I had a lot of catching up to do I couldn't believe the last round ended 2 days ago. Thanksgiving weekend flew by! I feel like I ate pretty well and when I didn't I made sure I adjusted the rest of my day to that to stay under calories. Just have to buckle down for the end of the year. I WILL be under 200 by Christmas.
11/30: 208.1 - Last day of the month long Apple Watch challenge to work out every day, I did it. At this point I might as well go the rest of the year but maybe do something different tomorrow. I love the bike but my hamstring (previously torn) is not doing well. Rather give myself a day of rest than re-tear it and be forced into months of rest.
12/1: 207.0 - A decent surprise after waking up with a bit of a stomach issue. Set a new 20 minute PR on the Peloton which again was a surprise. Took a progress picture this morning, don't see much difference in last 10 lbs but see major difference in last 20 lbs.
12/2: 208.3 - Okay so yesterday was the outlier. Got it. Probably didn't help that we had Chinese for lunch yesterday and then I had pasta for dinner. Trend still down, workouts still happening so not worried!

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.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable but I’ve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

11/28 - 180.8, Ave 180.5
Yesterday was still a challenge — still too many yummy leftovers — but they’re gone now. Back to the plan!
11/29 - 181, Ave 180.7
Boing boing. But it’s ok, just normal post-pig out bouncing. I’ve got half my office painted but have to paint in short spurts because of other things. I’ll be glad when it’s finished, and happily I love the dark green coziness of the color! Off now for a walk with Rory. He turned 5 months yesterday and is in full adolescent goofiness. Here’s a pic I took yesterday.
11/30 - 180.6, Ave 180.7
A little better. Now to keep going this direction!
12/01 - 180.8, Ave 180.8
It’s all on me—I had some chocolate fudge truffle ice cream last night, and dinner was a bit salty. I did spent 90 minutes walking/running/standing/moving equipment at doggy school, though, so I did get some exercise. Today I’m determined to get some more of my office painted—nothing scheduled except a puppy play date with a friend’s Golden, and she’s coming here. Otherwise, paint is me!
12/02 - 180.4, Ave 180.7
Slowly, slowly. Not unexpected since my calories average is still above maintenance, but I behaved myself yesterday and everything will level back out. All good!

11/28 211.2 (-.4) Still coming down from Thanksgiving. Today I’m hiking with both of my sisters.
11/29 210.4 (-1.2) Wow! This is my first holiday season logging here and really staying focused. I enjoyed Thanksgiving and ate all my favorite foods then did my best to get back on track the day after. I’m only .6 over my low weight. It’s really helped to read the forums to stay encouraged. No organized exercise today.
11/30 209.0 (-2.6) Dropped my Thanksgiving bump and down .8 from my former low weight. I’m still a bit in shock that I can enjoy eating my favorite holiday foods including egg nog and pumpkin pie with lots of whip cream and drop the extra weight in less than a week if I get back on track the following day. Just one more real life example helping me build confidence that I can do this and not only reach goal weight, but maintain it once I get there.
12/1 209.4 (-2.2) Swimming was good yesterday. I still have company in town, but working to stay on plan. Today is no organized exercise. I need to drink more water today.
12/2 208.6 (-3.0) My family leaves tomorrow to head home. I’ve loved having them here. Still, it will be nice to get back to my routine. I’m finishing a big commission for a collector for Christmas and that will be done in about a week. I’m looking forward to just relaxing and making plans for the new year. My goals every year include losing weight and exercising more. I’m happy I finally made progress this year. The health goal will be to finally get to goal weight and maintain. A new challenge for a new year.

11/28: 154.3 - I think I missed a day somewhere on the last round, but I can’t figure out where. Anyways, today’s scale reading is not surprising but disappointed in myself for portion control over the holiday weekend and the lack of higher intensity cardio workouts.

I’ll be completing day 1 of the 30 day shred today. So this week will be focussing on completing the first 10 day, no alcohol and not eating without being mindful.
Completed day one
11/30:long day at work so done walking, sit down exercises

So because I’m doing long day today and doing the 30 day shred m, I’m having to adapt it so that I do them on my day off. Wednesday day 2, Sunday day 3 and next week I’m working from home so can complete the days as usual. Just means first 10 days of 30 day shred will be longer

Lynn: 74 year old Newbie. Live in central B.C., Canada. I work hard to keep pushing my physical and mental abilities. Retired in 2019 from medical office work. After a year I just felt there was still "more" to my life so accepted a job as a dietary aide at an assisted living seniors' residence. Love how the seniors have expanded my "Covid bubble" by 35!

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days11/28 121ish I think it was. I’m not sure if weight creep is happening or if it’s just water retention from the strength training/running at a higher level/where I’m at in my cycle/Thanksgiving splurges. This week I’m going to focus on my protein intake and reducing my sodium intake. All of the Thanksgiving leftovers are just about out of the fridge which is a good thing/I’m sick of the thought of even eating any. I indulged a little too much over the past few days with pumpkin and apple pie but that is now out of the way and I’m looking forward to having a good week.
Started the day with some toast and dandelion tea to help flush out some bloat and also upped the water. I made some cranberry sauce oat bars but have already shared half with my in-laws, had one for lunch with plain yogurt, and then froze the other 4 servings to have in the future. I find if baked goods are in the freezer, I am more likely to eat them more sporadically versus having them out. So, if I have a day where I can splurge on 400 calories (like my long run days), I will happily enjoy it. The good thing about the bars is that they are filled with healthy fats from the hazelnut meal and butter and a touch of fiber as well, so they are quite satisfying.
11/29 ? Not completely sure of my weight this morning. Ran 6 miles this morning and did my strength workout on my lunch. Food was good all day. Breakfast was toast and eggs, lunch was a protein shake plus an apple and peanut butter yogurt dip, dinner was pork tenderloin with roasted Brussel sprouts, fennel bulb and leftover fiber gourmet pasta with a touch of butter and Trader Joe’s cheesy seasoning blend. I decided that at least during the week I am going to cut a little bit of calories to slowly work my way back down to 114 over the next few months. I like that weight and know I’ll be able to get back to that point again or at least that size even if I weigh a little more because muscle takes up less space than fat… If I’m doing all this work to strength train, I would like to be able to see the definition at a leaner size. I should be able to go back to cutting 200 calories a day relatively easy on the days I strength train because I burn over 700 activity calories. Then on just my running days, I’ll cut 100-150 calories. Even with the cutting I will make sure I prioritize protein and make sure I get at least 100-120g per day.
Also will start tracking grams of protein here daily: 142g today.
11/30 121.something Feel good today. Accidentally ran longer than expected this morning clocking in at 6.8 miles because I miscalculated how far away from home I was during my run. Tomorrow will be a 5 mile run most likely. Food has been good today and I will be at 160 g of protein after I finish my chili for dinner tonight.
12/1 122.2 pre workout. Hoping this uptick drops soon. In general I feel good though and don’t feel like my body has gotten larger. I tried on a pair of my jeans and they still fit well, so that was a good thing and made me realize that I haven’t gained in the wrong places. I got a 5.6 mile run done this morning and a strength workout on lunch.
12/2 Got a solid 6 mile run in this morning with a few faster miles in at the end. Food was good yesterday but dinner ended up being salty even though I was within calories plus a 200 cal deficit, so it blew my weight up this morning. Protein clocked in at 119 grams and today will be 118.
