Day/Weight/Comment

12/08 - 180.4, Ave 180.9
Okay, back on track and determined to get out of the 80s for good this round, holidays or no! I’m still working on my office (have a rug in mind for to open space and I’m looking for a small cabinet) but here’s the new color. I love the change in the feel of the room.

12/09 - 180.4, Ave 180.8
Ugh, I ate too much yesterday. I can’t seem to stifle myself. But I’m off in a few minutes for a dog walk with a friend and she’s usually up for a nice long one. Gotta bundle up!

12/10 - 181.2, Ave 181.2
Time lag, because my calories yesterday were fine. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow….

12/11 - 181.2, Ave 181.2
Steady as she goes. I had planned a nice walk but the temp is dropping fast (20 degrees in two hours!) and wind is 30-40 mph, so I don’t think so. Maybe I should paint another room for exercise? 😁

12/12 - 180.8, Ave 181.1
My birthday is in 10 days and I’m determined to be below 180 by then! Off for a walk with the pup—it’s chilly, but no wind, a relief after the past two days. Enjoy your Sunday, all!

12/12 - 180.8, Ave 181.1
That’s weird—second time in a coupla rounds that I’ve had the same weight & running average two days in a row. What does it mean??? Have I entered the Twilight Zone? 😁 Anyway….off to get my hair cut and then run some errands, including getting a blender. We haven’t had one in ages, since the ancient one gave up the ghost, but I’ve been hankering for low-cal healthy smoothies to satisfy my sweet tooth and also take collagen daily instead of every two weeks when I remember it. My skin & hair are SO much better with collagen. Have a happy Monday, all!

12/14 - 180.6, Ave 180.9
I’m still eating too much, but a bit less. I don’t know why I’m so ravenous these days. But little by little….

12/15 - 180.8, Ave 181
Dog club party tonight but I’ll try to behave.

12/16 - 182.2, Ave 181.5
Not surprised—I did not behave at the party last night and it was worth it. Lots of good food! It’s the only party I’m going to and I don’t plan to bake much, so it’s fine. I still have a week to meet my birthday goal!

12/17 - 180.6, Ave 181.3
Works for me. My goal was not to gain this round, and although I’d like to be below 180 by my birthday, I’m going to set my goals to “don’t gain” through Boxing Day. I’m not going nuts baking/eating, but I do want some seasonal goodies! See you next round!

12/17 - 144.8 - I'm really shocked to still be in the 144 range today. BF wanted to go out to our local bar/grill we frequent for dinner. He needed out of the house and with all the madness going on between his work, my commute timeline, and the house ordeal. He didn't want to add cooking dinner on top of it and I'm okay with that since I didn't have to be awake early. I made my bread (one gluten free, one regular flour) first thing. It's currently resting and rising to bake later before our Friendsmas party. There will be chili and tamales and all kinds of delicious foods. I'm going to try to fast as long as I can (I'm already starting to feel the hunger creeping up so not sure how long I can manage). NFJourney workout was (consciously) postponed to today so I'll squeeze that in between all the errands I have going on today. Ugh. I have a LOOOOT to get done. Guess I better go get started and knock out the workout so I can then shower and finally start my laundry (showering while washer is going is NOT a series of unexpected surprises I want to deal with today)

Previous Day's Comments

12/08 - Whew, the first weigh in of the round is now over and no random uptick! Food was okay, portions were good, water was excellent. All NF habits completed. Got plenty of stretching in through the day, but checked off goal with a 6 minute morning yoga routine. My body was a bit stiff so throughout the day, I got on the floor and moved in whatever way felt comfortable. Today is 7 reverse lunges each as well as my BW workout from NF so I'll knock those out here shortly. Lots of back to back meetings again so no grocery trip today (and if the meetings hold, tomorrow either) so I have to get creative with a balanced lunch these next couple of days. Friday I'm off so can stock up for the weekend and next week.
12/09 - Scale was making rash decisions this morning. Before I could even get both feet settled on it, it had settled on 146.2. I was not confident so I let it cycle through off and on, tried again. Another rash decision. With only one foot on the scale (the other hovering as I was in the process of stepping from floor to scale) 148.6. Okaaaaay, not even ON the scale. Finally, it acted normal and gave me 2 back to back readings (that took the normal couple of seconds to register) of 146.7. Well then. Today is rest day for NF. QFit wants me to do 9 staircases but I don't have any staircases around that are accessible to me/open to the public (or part of a state park in which you have to schedule a reservation and pay for). All habits good yesterday, water was good. Food was much much better with veggies in all 3 meals. I know dinner is homemade hamburgers at Fam's again tonight and I also know they usually leave me feeling horribly full and the scale jumping up the next day. Will be sure to plan around that with breakfast and lunch as well as eat slower tonight and be mindful of portion size.
12/10 - Actually shocked I'm down. Homemade venison/beef burgers. Also had a small pre-dinner snack of Limburger cheese on wheat thins (Those pushed me over calories by about 100). I did cut my burger in half. Ate half with the bun, the other half without bun. Saved me some calories and helped me up protein without upping carbs anymore. Also only ate cucumber and carrots as a side. Not a single chip, either! Lunch was a frozen burrito because meetings came flooding in back to back around my normal lunch and I only had about 5 minutes to get something and stuff my face. Breakfast was alright with ham/egg/cheese english muffin. No veggies, though. Finished my NF bodyweight workout already this morning. All of NF habits good. Hoping to hit 15 hours fasting despite my workout (NF goal is 15 hours so I'm not worried if I'm below 16. Training my body to adjust to fasting while working out is a lot harder than I thought. This is why fasting fell off my radar when I was training for my 5k. Hangry was not fun). Grocery shopping today. Hopefully I can get in and out before I get too ravenous. I am pretty good about sticking to my list, though, regardless of hunger.
12/11 - We ended up unexpectedly hanging out with some friends late last night and didn't get home until about 2am just talking and hanging out. Woke up at about 8 remembering I'd promised the local grocery store I'd be in early if they'd save me some boxes from overnight stocking (which they did! Yay free moving boxes). I was dressed and ready before my sleepy little brain realized I hadn't weighed. I figure it will likely be a false weight given the late night, lack of sleep, and water anyway so I'm not too upset by it. Back on goals/habits today. Everyone is out of town except the 2 friends we hung out with last night so it's just BF and I today. Making grocery list for dinners next week (I'm commuting) and I'll pick those up tomorrow before football starts. Rest day for NF (thankfully, after that little sleep I'd be really struggling). Not sure what's on the agenda for us today
12/12 - Expected. We wanted to get out of our crazy touristy town. Unfortunately, we had no idea the little cute town we wanted to visit had a Christmas event going on so it was just as toursity. Oh well, change of pace and scenery was still nice. Due to this, though, we ate out for "Linner" at a pizza place. Not too much water, either. Still hit minimum 70oz, but hard to tell with the glasses they provided us. Yesterday was NF rest day. Didn't track my fast, but I believe I was about 16 hours or so. All other habits good. NF promotes "paleo-ish" (more eat real foods and paleo is a good way to frame that). Lunch prep happened this morning, focusing on paleo: roasted broccoli and bell peppers for veggies, roasted sweet potato for my carbs, and baked chicken breast cut into tenders. Have a kiwi for dessert all 4 days. Errands: Grocery shop for staples to improvise dinner (complete, BF cooking dinners and he doesn't know what he wants to make), fill 5gal water jugs (complete), laundry (complete, just need to fold), meal prep (complete, tomorrow's lunch packed and ready to grab-n-go and coffee pot ready and set to brew), and shower (later). Whew. Busy busy. Trying to fast until lunch since I'm only just now starting to feel hungry. Have leftover sausage and broccoli from Friday as well as some sweet potato from this morning's meal prep. Unsure of dinner. Since I'm commuting this week, I expect a bump up this week. Later dinners and early mornings usually result in that. Will be focusing on my NF goals regardless and try to offset. I'm just happy to be pretty steady in the 140s again.
12/13 - As expected, the early morning jump up. Hopefully now I've shocked my system, I can continue on track and start dropping again. The fact that it's a larger blip up can likely be contributed to BF making homemade steak lo mein for dinner (hello sodium). Water was good and habits all good yesterday. Today is active rest day but I'll probably be up and down walking around a good chunk of the day. I'll at least do my best to find excuses to get up and move around rather than sit at the desk. BF said he wanted to make roast for tonight so hopefully he remembers to put in on this morning when he wakes up. Dinner was quite early last night (finished eating about 515pm) so my eating window this morning (16 hour fast) opens at 915am. I'll try to push to our lunch (11am) but I have a protein shake and a salmon packet I can have if I need a little extra. With that, my eating window may be longer today since dinner will be late (usually get home 630-ish and can't start eating until about 645-7pm) but it'll reset me to my correct fasting window for breaking it at lunch and finishing it with dinner.
12/14 - Likely due to fasting until lunch (18 hours) and a small dinner of roast. Probably should've had a little more roast so I don't get peckish, but I'll be alright. Just need to keep myself busy. Barely finished 90oz water before bed. Found a new house just posted to look at, BF is going to go get a first look today since we know it may go fast and our agent will be in the neighborhood today. My first opportunity is Friday due to working out of town. Didn't find a real good place to work out, but my office mate is out on vacation this week so I can expand into his cubicle today and Thursday to knock it out. Same lunch packed and ready today (other than sweet potatoes, I'm already sick of my lunch haha! I CANNOT do this eat the same thing every day thing very well. Just have to remind myself it's not a treat, it's fuel. It's healthy and balanced and that's what matters most. It's actually quite tasty, too).
12/15 - This is odd... I'm eating my lunch, which fills me up until I head home (and BF always times dinner to finish up just as I arrive home). Dinner is smaller than what I think I'd normally have, but not by much. And not more than I'd normally have so close to bed. NF habits alright. I did 2 of the 3 sets of NF workouts yesterday. Things got hectic and I didn't even realize I hadn't finished until after I was already in bed. I'll do my one set today to make up for it. Water was good. Figured out the timing of it so I don't have to get up multiple times in the night. BF looked at a house yesterday and said it's perfect. We are in the process of putting in an offer. Really challenging when I'm at work haha! I took Monday off next week so I have a 4 day weekend to try to pack. BF is off, too, I believe, but only for a 3 day weekend. He was off this past Monday and packed a bunch of stuff (hanging photos, display cases, etc. Stuff we don't use). Wish us luck!
12/16 - I'm sure the scale is playing tricks on me! I figured I'd be up and I'm looking a little bloated in the low belly. Not only did I indulge in a small piece of cake (retirement party and it was my favorite) but I didn't quite hit water goal. I'd say about 75oz as estimate. Did not make up for my half workout Tuesday at all yesterday. Got just under 10k steps (which is still more than what I get working from home by a significant amount). I'll keep chugging away. Same meal as yesterday. Our little snack shopette (in place while they renovate the kitchen) had salsa so I bought that and added it to my chicken to change it up. It was soooooo good. I need to go add salsa to my packed lunch now.... NF habits alright. Managed some, not others. Today I'm scheduled a workout so I'll try to get that knocked out in full today unlike Tuesday. I'm off Monday so I have a full 4 day weekend but I have Friendsmas tomorrow evening. Will do my best to stay on track food wise during the weekend but I don't expect the weight to continue dropping off.

@schmoyew Any loss is a good thing! They add up.

@CamandJarvis When we were house shopping we were dealing with the market “coming back” after the crash. Investors kept beating us out of our attempts, 3 times. We finally got a smaller house in a retirement community where investors couldn’t gobble everything up. We also offered 3K more than asking - in cash. Cash made the difference. Eventually we got a mortgage loan to repay our private loan. I feel that if it’s meant to be, it will work out. 🙏🙏

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.

I believe so, too. And we are only fighting because there are no other offers on the table as of yesterday. If there were other offers, we'd chalk it up as a loss. Right now, it simply feels like discrimination against veterans using the VA loan. The old way of VA, I could understand (buyers closing costs were mostly covered by sellers in the old loan). "New loan" (been changed for years), the only "disadvantage" to VA is that the house has to be within $10k of the purchase price and the sellers must pay for an additional termite inspection fee. But this house, based on our agent's experience, should appraise close to asking price so that shouldn't be a concern.

The other side of it, millionaires are buying out houses left and right here as second/third homes (or BnB-ing them out). It's bad enough a couple shops shut down because they had to move out of town, unable to afford it here anymore or they didn't have workers because they all had to jump ship out of town due to pricing. Most of the shops here are mom&pop family owned and operated places so it'll be interesting to see how this goes.

I'm in again. Round 170 was basically a wash for me - I lost 0.2 pounds. 🙄

I'm a 5'7" 54yo woman in SE Michigan.

I would like to consistently be at or below 158 by Christmas.

SW (this fall): 161 lbs

UGW: 145 lbs. (I'd be happy with 150 right now.)

Day/Weight/Comment (Comments will be regarding the previous day)

12/8 - 159.4 Ate OK yesterday - maybe a little too much beef rendang for dinner. Snacking happened but was not out of control. No exercise - work from 9 - 5, and then it was dark. And I was tired.
12/9 - 158.8 Yesterday was one of those days going from one thing straight to another with work, volunteer responsibilities, grocery shopping. . . I don't snack much on these days but did snack a little more in the evening. Was over WW points but still a blue dot - surprisingly. No exercise other than my daily back exercises.
12/10 - 159.2 Yesterday: ate OK. Didn't track dinner but I think it wasn't too high (chicken yassa) though the squash had a buttery/ maple syrup-y glaze. I walked with a friend for about 1.5 hours in the afternoon; my fitbit tracked ~12K steps by the end of the day. Work holiday party tonight -- Thai restaurant food. That will be a challenge. Will try to jog today - I think I'll have time.
12/11 - 159.0 Yesterday was a heavy work day = a lot of sitting. I ate about half my Thai order at the work party and threw the rest away. I was full and I can't bring it home anyway b/c my daughter has celiac. No significant exercise.. .
12/12 - 158.2 Yesterday, I kept snacking under control, tracked everything, and jogged 3 miles without getting blown away (too badly) by the wind!
12/13 - 158.2 Yesterday, I tracked all my food again! Went over my WW points. Had lunch out with my husband.
12/14 - 158 I'm excited by the possibility of maybe getting below 158 soon! I just need to stay consistent. Lack of consistency is one of my weaknesses. Yesterday was a slightly crazy day at work--> a lot of sitting. I ate mindfully and limited snacking, though I didn't track. I hope to go for a jog this afternoon since it's mild and sunny again!
12/15 - 158.2 I'm not tracking; I'm a bit under the gun with some work and volunteer projects all needing to be done now. I will be working late tonight (at home). I did go for a 2 mile jog yesterday in the arb. It's always nice to be exercising outside along the river among the trees.

Got my booster today - just a mildly sore arm so far.
12/16 - 158.8 Not happy with the uptick, but it makes sense as I haven't been tracking, and I snacked late last night b/c I was up working late last night. Also, I haven't gotten enough sleep the last 2 nights. The good news - only a sore arm after the booster! And I'll be done with the work projects today.
12/17 - 157.8 I snacked yesterday afternoon while working under stress, but I kept my portions at dinner small and didn't snack in the evening. I was surprised to see this drop - but it may not be totally real. I seesaw up and down quit a bit, so I don't get too excited either way.

I am at my heaviest weight ever. This is my 1st round. The first of many !

First round
R171 SW: 191
R171 GW: 189. Final Weight at the end of R171: 188 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment

12/08
12/09 I’m starting today. Plan on eating chicken noodle soup, and mixed salad. Weight: 191 lbs after a heavy breakfast

12/10 : 187.4 (morning before eating)

12/11: 186 (this morning after waking up, no eating). For the past 3 days, I’ve reached my goal of not going over 1300 calories. I’m very happy that it is clicking, I’ll do everything to reach my calorie goal one day at a time.

12/12: 187. I exceed my calories by 211. I was so hungry, but I don’t think that explains the gain. I must have been losing water weight the first day. I’m still ecstatic with the results. Today I will do the low impact beginner workout video from Body Project on YouTube.

It’s 11:37, I just finished the video “Fun, low impact workout for TOTAL beginners” on YouTube. I hadn’t worked out in a loooong time. I was able to finish the whole workout, I feel AMAZING right now !! Next goal for the day: stay within my daily calories.
12/13: 185.8. Yesterday, I stayed within my points. Today, I did the same video as yesterday. I’m giving myself a challenge: do one video of 30 mn at least 4 times this week. The workouts are for beginner but they’re not that easy, today I was slightly sore from yesterday but was still able to finish today’s workout. I feel beyond AMAZING and proud of myself!!!! My goal is to 1. stay within my calories today, 2. do another video tomorrow morning.

This is working. It’s not rocket science, it’s simple to understand but not easy to do. I think I got the click this week, I’m taking it and running!!!! Let’s goooooooo!!!!!!

12/14: 185.4. I’m very sore (especially legs), I’ll take a break from working out. Goal for the day: not going over my calorie (this is hard, my limit is 1275), before that I think I was easily eating 3000-4000 calories a day. Last thing I forgot to mention, I drink a lot of water (2.5 liters per day), about 5 small bottles.

12/15: 185.8. I ate over my calorie limit yesterday. I just finished doing video 2 for beginners (1/2 weight training and 1/2 cardio). I am more sore after this one, I hadn’t worked out my muscles in a long time. I’m feeling great and happy that I am pushing through it. 2 more days in this challenge but so far it is a success!

12/16: 186.6. I ate over my calorie limit last night. It was takeout and I think I had food poisoning, I woke up in the middle of the night with horrible stomach pains. I feel a little better this morning. I’m taking a day rest from working out. Goal for today: no take out, stay within my calorie limit and drink lots of water.

12/17: 188 lbs. I am not surprised, I ate pizza and chocolate chip cookies (3 of them) yesterday. I still lost pounds in this round but starting round 172 with more focus.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/07 …..190.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/08 …..190.4 ….. (Trend weight 189.6) I’m a hot mess. Now I’ve ran my glucose up and I am feeling like sheer crap on top of it all. I’m making changes today to get to a better place. More paperwork and business for my brother is due today. I don’t even feel like I can raise a pencil to paper! It’s the food choices.

12/09 …..190.4 ….. Trend weight 189.7) Same weight for 3 days in a row but my trend weight is creeping up 0.1 each and every day. I still haven’t made the changes I need to. I am not eating my meals proper, then I’m snacking too much at night turning snacks into meals. Cravings are all over the place. Back and forth from salt to sweet. Glucose numbers still up, even with new meds. I am not even giving them a chance to work. Self-sabotage is putting it mildly. I promise myself everyday that it will change today, and then I begin the tasks for my brother’s death and I either lean on food for comfort, or I get to busy to plan for success. I suppose the first part of success and change is recognition, so here I am standing at the confessional podium. Better planning is next and success (while currently elusive) is mine to take.

12/10 …..189.8 ….. (Trend weight 189.7) I ate better yesterday and kept my snacks to sugar-free items. I still haven’t started Christmas shopping and you all know how far I am from ANY stores. I hope to do a little shopping online today, we are expecting another bad winter storm. We’ve had over 12” of snow in the past couple of days. I am still working on decorating with my handyman’s help. It’s hard to get in the spirit. I’m hanging on by the skin of my teeth here, please continue to be patient with me, my friends.

12/11 …..190.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.8) Waited too long for dinner due to unexpected company over. Then I overate. Dinner at 11:30 pm. Early wake-up and weigh-in after 3.5 hours of sleep. I can’t wait for life to get back to normal, but sadly it will be without Jeff. I still haven’t starting shopping yet. Today I hope to spend some time online doing the online shopping thing. I hope it will better get me in the spirit. Gotta watch my meals today and make sure I don’t get too hungry! I’m actually quite perfect at all this……..that is, until I get hungry. I know ya’ll get that!

12/12 …..192.0 ….. Trend weight 190.0) Out to dinner with a friend who helped move some of my brother’s furniture. Pasta and a shared dessert in the same meal is never a good idea. Freaking out today. Making it a low cal / carb mindful day. Lots of water.

12/13 …..192.2….. (Trend weight 190.2) Small fluctuation with no TMI. Travel today for building supplies and product returns won’t help. I’ll not be home until later tonight after dark.

12/14 …..191.6 ….. (Trend weight 190.4) Travel weight has not shown up yet on the scale. I got my Covid booster Sunday and the fatigue and flu-like symptoms hit me hard while I was out of town. Wow. Just so tired and lethargic. While it is totally worth it, I hate that it happened while I was away from home. The Moderna was half the dose of my last shot so I didn’t expect this. I got to bed early and just rested until this morning. I feel back to 100% now. Today is hair appointment this afternoon. Then back to some more decorating/tidying up and maybe even some wrapping later!

12/15 …..190.4 ….. (Trend weight 190.4) Good meals. Bad snacks but thankfully not too many. Trend weight and actual weight have caught up with each other and landed on a number I’m not happy with but I’m very close to being back in the 180’s so I will try to make today an exceptional day. I’ve already planned my dinner and snacks. I am sitting right now at my exact start weight. Goal is to lose ANYTHING per round so I’m going after it with a vengeance! Scale down by 1.2 today and that is with no sleep, very little movement and an early weigh-in. Watch me go!

12/16 …..189.2 ….. (Trend weight 190.3) I am happy to see another drop. I carefully planned my meals and I kept my quantities in check also. However, I finally had a TMI and I know that plays into it as well. I did have a large piece of chocolate cream pie yesterday which has driven my glucose up this morning and has made me feel very ill. Today, it feels like food is my enemy. A source of sickness and weakness and sluggishness. It should be a source of nutrition and energy. Clearly I am still abusing it when I’m feeling this badly although stress does play a role. I’m going to remember today to keep my food wholesome but satisfying. I’ve decided to wait on the baking until very close to my family gathering (after Christmas). This will keep me from nibbling for weeks.

12/17 …..189.6 ….. (Trend weight 190.2) I’m down 0.8 lbs this round which makes goal. I would love to make 187 point anything next round to feel firmly back in the 180’s but….during Christmas week? Me thinks not. Sticking to a loss of Anything as goal for next round again. Nice job everyone during December. Now let’s try to be reasonable during the upcoming holidays and not set ourselves back too much!

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily.
People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

December focus:

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!

House update:

It's the VA loan. Said if they didn't get any offers between now and after Christmas, they'd consider accepting us. Also said they wanted to be under contract for the new year. No other offers on the table for them at this time.

Buuuuuut, we decided if you're going to treat us like that, we don't want to do business with you. So we have officially rescinded our offer.

This town is crazy, they'll sell the house. Possibly above asking. It just may not happen before the new year like they were hoping. Their loss. FamHubby is sending us a TON of houses in the area. Most we've already looked at but don't fit us. Monday we are going to view another house one town over just to see what it's about. Hoping the new year brings new postings!

Trend GW: 141.0
**************************************

12/08 140.0 (trend 141.6) hit last round's goal a day late, it's nice to start on a round number. I'm surprised to get a drop today as I was waaaay over calories yesterday so this may just be dehydration, we'll see tomorrow. The family had a Chinese takeaway last night, I had a taste and a few prawn crackers but didn't order a meal, instead I had a ham sandwich and a chocolate bar, probably not the best substitute on reflection! I'll have to try and make amends today.

12/09 139.8 (trend 141.4) Excited to get a glimpse at the 130s! Didn't eat much again yesterday but woke up starving so I think it's safe to say my appetite is back, got to watch out that I don't binge today. I'm craving soup and have a couple of pumpkins left that I grew so may have to make some nom nom. Still haven't got a kitchen though so it'll be a bit tricky, maybe I'll use the slow cooker.

12/10 140.4 (trend 141.2) Had a really lazy day yesterday and probably snacked a bit too much. I need to up my water intake and get back to more structured eating. Taking my daughter (17) for her first vaccine today, 1 hour in the car each way, we'll probably stop off at the garden centre on the way back and go to the cafe, buy a special tree ornament and maybe a holly wreath. OH is away for a few nights so we can binge on tacky Christmas movies and decorate the house a bit. I just need to clean it first, blah. Not all girly stuff though, we're gonna watch the grand prix tomorrow. Mercedes F1 is based in our little town so it's the law that we watch it!

12/11 140.4 (trend 141.1) had a bit of a binge last night, bought some lebkuchen which I absolutely love and holds so many nostalgic memories for me. I probably scoffed about 8 and a packet of crisps and stayed up until the wee small hours so I'm expecting a gain over the next few days. Really tired today so I'm gonna be relaxing and taking it easy.

12/12 142.0 (trend 141.3) Me and the girl decorated the tree, danced around to wham and had far too much baked camembert, bread and mulled wine. Big gain but hopefully only temporary!

12/13 142.2 (trend 141.4) Didn't eat much yesterday but still processing all the rich food from the last few days. Not worried, yet! Gonna try and eat light for the rest of the week.

12/14 140.0 (trend 141.2) Phew, the last time I had a bread and cheese fest (pizza) I was bloated for about 5 days, this time was only 2. I had a probiotic yoghurt last night which I think helped. Note to self, flour is not your friend.

12/15 139.4 (trend 140.9) Surprised to see a new low today as I ate salty instant noodles last night. Hubby pimps them up with onions and spices and scrambled eggs and they are soo tasty! Busy day doing plumbing in the downstairs loo, connecting the basin and shower and feeling proud that all my pipework works as intended, no leaks! Passed my goals for this round, hopefully I can hold it for two more days.

12/16 139.6 (trend 140.8) Lucky to get away with not gaining more as I had Baileys, chocolates and snacks but only had salad for dinner and no lunch so low volume food day. Had my electrician cancel today, he's coming tomorrow instead, I'm getting my booster today so hopefully I won't get any symptoms from it as I really need to be up early and with it when the electrician is here.

12/17 138.6 (trend 140.5) I had a feeling I was going to get a whoosh as I noticed yesterday that my belly was really jiggly and weird and today it's much flatter. Woke up feeling really rough which is probably due to the booster jab. My brother and his family are down with covid for the second time, poor things! Hopefully they will test negative by next Thursday when we're due to go to them for Christmas. Electrician is coming today but I'd rather spend the day in bed, sigh.
On to the next round which is the Christmas round, uh oh!

Nahlei · December 2021

I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting
program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass.

My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6

Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), add one day of double strength training per week (didn’t hit this last round cause of a cold).

Previous Rounds

169 150->151.2 (+1.2) (Thanksgiving
170 151.2->148.3 (-2.9)

Previous Posts

12/8 workday 2/2. Leftover soba noodles with cabbage, bell pepper, carrot and tofu for lunch. Roasted Brussel sprouts with a Buffalo sauce, avocado, and seitan for dinner. Protein: 124

12/9 I meal planned today since I work all weekend (boooo!) and ran around all morning doing some Christmas shopping and getting groceries. I did a clean and jerk, v-up, burpee workout and big pull day for strength (PRs on my DB rows and rack pulls!). Our gym is in the garage and I’m maxing out on the DB’s (only go up to 60) but we are also maxing out on space for gym equipment since we do use it as an actual car garage. I might look into getting PowerBlocks to get us up to 90lbs without using up much more floor space. Had a farro bowl with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, seitan and a gochujang sauce. Walked around the neighborhood after dinner looking at Christmas lights. Protein: 126

12/10 I did two cardio workouts. One jump rope and DB step ups and the other rowing, shoulder press, and bent over barbell rows. I did a core workout from my strength programming. Normally there are 4 days of mostly compound lifts and 2 days of accessory and core work and I’ve been trying to fit in the accessory days on one of my 4 non-work days. Mission accomplished today! I also went on a walk (I like to listen to house music and walk to the beat. Keeps the pace brisk lol) before it got super windy. I ran a few errands this afternoon with my mom and went to the florist to have them make a festive garland with lights to go around my front door. Hit some PRs (again!!) on leg day for the primary lifting session. I ended up eating waaay more today than I have for the past few weeks since I was so active. Dinner was a roasted cauliflower, black lentil, green olive, pistachio salad with a lemon vinaigrette and baked tofu. Back to work tomorrow. Protein: 162

12/11 Probably the most annoying day of work in recent memory. Not looking forward to going back in the morning. Really yummy roasted eggplant and tomato soup and seitan for dinner though. Protein: 115

12/12 workday 2/2. 4 days of freedom now! Leftovers for lunch. Spicy lentils with roasted butternut squash and tofu for dinner. Protein: 116

12/13 I love my days off! The hospital is just (physically and mentally) exhausting sometimes. I meal planned and grocery shopped for the next week (I really messed up my schedule for December and am working almost every weekend. Yuck). I am doing a good job with getting my 2 accessory days of strength training programming in now that I’m recovering from that nasty cold. I did a rowing, man maker (first time doing them, it was like a push-up, renegade row, squat clean, thruster all in one), devil’s press workout and hit the accessory trunk work day this morning. I got a Christmas book on audible that I listened to on a walk. Leftovers for lunch. For the primary strength training today I did a push day. The new programming cycle is heavy on volume and I’m feeling it. Ever since I’ve started cleaning up my diet and hitting my protein goals I’ve been hitting PRs almost everyday and tonight I was doing deficit pushups like they were nothing. Feels good! Stir fried tempeh, cabbage, and carrots with a really yummy sweet and sour type sauce for dinner. Protein: 152g

12/14 I got in my second accessory day this morning, so I’m on track to hit all 6 training sessions in my 4 days off this week. I did a farmers carry step up and box jump workout to get the heart rate up and then the accessory programming was a bunch of trunk work and kettlebell swings. The florist finished making my Christmas garland and I got that hung and then started wrapping Christmas presents. Pull day for the primary lifting programming (I’m still on my streak of PRs!). I tried a recipe from the MFP blog.. Cabbage and onion noodle kugel. It was pretty tasty and high in protein. Protein: 142g

12/15 Maybe I’m going too hard on the workouts, I’m feeling suuuuper sore. Could just be that we switched cycles that’s all about volume and I woulda been sore anyway! Did a burpee, pullup, clean, air squat workout this morning. I had a gingerbread decorating party with my mom, sister, and nieces this afternoon. I brought my own lunch and didn’t have any cookie snacks. I’m probably going to transition over to maintenance for 1-2weeks starting next week. My local family is having our Christmas party (with many, many cookies) on Monday, my in laws come for proper Christmas, and then my husband and I are going to the family Colorado cabin with my parents and sister’s family after Christmas through New Years. I’m feeling really good about my progress over the past few weeks (I see some *upper* abs popping out *in the right lighting*) and have been leaning up nicely through the normally rough Halloween-New Years holiday excesses. Leg day for strength tonight (MORE PR’s. What is this madness). Roasted butternut squash and kale pasta with tofu for dinner. Protein: 136

12/16 Little jump rope, deadlift, v up workout and a walk this morning. I finally cleaned the summer vegetables from the garden. It happened so late since it took so long to frost! I have lots of salad greens, kale, mustard greens, Swiss chard, beets, and peas that will be fine until we get a really deep freeze. Also finished wrapping presents. Another push day (6/6 sessions complete). That was a lot of volume in 4 days though, hah. Made some Saag tofu for dinner. Back to work for 3 days starting tomorrow. Protein: 134

12/17

12/8 148.5
12/9 148.1 (-.4)
12/10 147.2 (-.9)
12/11 147.9 (+.7)
12/12 148.8 (+.9)
12/13 148.5 (-.3)
12/14 147 (-1.5)
12/15 146.8 (-.2)
12/16 147.2 (+.4)
12/17 147.9 (+.7) workday 1/3. I was so hungry all day! Probably didn’t help that I was thinking about what cookies and meals to make for my Christmas visitors. Potato vindaloo and tofu for dinner. Protein: 118

Round average = 147.8 (-2.7 from last round average)

12/08 / 190 / Rough night volunteering last night. Today will be busy at work, we'll see what exercise I get up to at lunch and afterwards. Excited to see the first 18x number this round!
12/09 / 188.2 / Hello whoosh! I haven't seen the 180's for over 15 years... I am over the moon excited for this final stage of my weight loss journey!
12/10 / 189.6 / Did my first 60 minute Peloton ride this morning. I didn't want to get out of bed but I was so glad I did!
12/11 / 189.2 / Had my work's virtual Christmas party last night. Husband and I got to order in and watch the private concert. I know I want to do some strength training today and we'll see what else we get up to. Feeling a bit sore so might take it easier than normal.
12/12 / 189.6 / More sedentary day yesterday as we saw two movies in the theatre (there was a good promotion on). Still did 53 minutes of exercise though so I'm happy about that.
12/13 / 191.8 / Definitely feel bloated today which is unusual for me. I set a 60 minute PR on the Peloton yesterday and then spent the day in the kitchen on my feet with my husband and mom making homemade perogies and meat kebabs.
12/14 / 191.6 / Week is off to a fine start - definitely feeling the time crunch before the holidays. Off to fit in my Peloton ride over my lunch hour since it's really cold outside here and the dog has no desire to go outside.
12/15 / 191.4 / Slowly chipping my way back down. Peloton ride is done for the day. It's still cold here but I am going to try to get out for a 20 minute walk at least over my lunch hour.
12/16 / 190.6 / Had a mixed bag of exercise yesterday. Started my morning with a brisk walk before work. Feeling good!
12/17 / 189.2 / Today was a very busy whirlwind Friday at work. So happy the weekend is here! Can't believe Christmas is just around the corner. See you in the next round.

12/10 198.8 This is my official weigh day. I am down .8 from last Friday. I have back problems and I swim daily. The pool is closed for maintenance so I hope to be back swimming by Sunday. Also, we had pizza last night so water retention could mask a bigger loss. We will see what happens the next few days. 2/3 rings closed but stayed within calories.

12/11 198.8 Yesterday I went slightly over calories. I was craving a chocolate bar so to prevent a binge I allowed myself. I actually closed my rings, I was resting from my back injection on Thursday but I got up and did short slow walks around the apartment a few times. Also, I am enjoying reading everyone’s posts. Here’s to a super Saturday.

12/12 198.4 Stuck to calories and closed my rings. I made sure I did short walks yesterday again. I am back in the pool today so my calorie burn will be much better.

12/13 197.8 This is a new low for me. My weight loss has been a slow process that I started in February 2019. For some reason I struggle every fall. Last fall I gained over 30 pounds so now that is all gone plus a little. At least this year it was more a matter of maintaining instead of a huge gain. We are going to a restaurant tonight to celebrate my granddaughters 16th birthday. I am going to be every mindful of my eating but I will not be accurately able to count my calories. Have a great start to the week!

12/14 199.6

12/15 199.6 I fell behind a day. Yesterday’s weight gain was water weight from the restaurant meal on Monday night. My sodium was too high yesterday so I am hoping my weight will drop over the next few days before my granddaughters official birthday party on Saturday. On Monday, I got a few new achievements and badges with my Apple Watch. I have been trying to get the 400% move goal since I got the watch in November and I did on Monday. Also, got the new move and exercise record badge on Monday.

12/16 202 I was expecting some of the water weight to be gone not a gain. Frustrating!

12/17 202 Finishing with a gain.

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

Female, 5’3”, 61
Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last

2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5

My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.

Plans:🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
12/8 207.8 Walked 1.1 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, shopping, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Dinner out Italian again but I ordered grilled crab cakes. Went to a play (TUTS Little Mermaid) with my sister, DD and DIL which was a nice change of pace but it was a late night.
12/9 207.5 Walked 2.8 + 1 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Healthier eating and this time I included veggies! But I’m craving and snacking on Simply Jif by the spoonful.
12/10 206.6 Walked .7 + 1.5 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Doing great with meals but my snacking is still off … Snickers and then opened a bag of Fritos after coming home from grocery store.
Pregnant DIL was in a car accident. The driver fell asleep behind the wheel at 3pm!! Didn’t even tap the brakes and ran into the back of her. He and his daughter were taken away in ambulance … he was not conscience. DIL and the baby are okay. She was wearing a Pregnancy Bump Strap so no trauma across the tummy from the seat belt! Met her doctor at the hospital for observation and to throughly check her & baby out.
Buy this for every pregnant woman in your life!

12/11 206.4 Walked 3.1 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Went to doctor to see if I can do anything about a lingering 3 week cough before granddaughter is born. No root cause except drainage down throat (not nose). No sinus congestion or headache, no chest congestion, no fever, no aches, clear ears, negative Covid, etc. Got a steroid shot, Z-Pak, & take Zyrtec. Hopefully it will knock out whatever it is.
12/12 207.2 Walked 3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Red Beans & Rice with cornbread for dinner was yummy & warm but not great carb wise! I made an extra large batch! Taking some to DD & hubby who are packing to move into their new home and DIL & my son who are expecting our granddaughter soon. Some will be going into the freezer and some left for DH on the nights I’m out this week.
12/13 207.0 Walked 3.4 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Healthy meals planned after grocery shopping and restocking the kitchen! Attended a cookie party today where a friend makes a dozen different cookies (small bites) and invites 75 of her friends to drop by and rate them all. Yummy annual holiday fun activity! After the sugar high I had a lot of energy but really didn’t accomplish much.
12/14 206.4 Walked 3.2 + 1.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Made Party Trash mixture to take to various parties this week. Also made chicken sausage gumbo. Did not eat either since I had book club dinner out. The restaurant is normally closed on Mondays but they opened for our group. Kept my meals reasonable.
12/15 208.4 No walking, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. I ate gumbo for lunch and the party trash as a snack. Making those on Monday and not eating them was an accomplishment for Mon but not Tues. Made holiday cookies Tues which I ate 7! Then I went to a party with tons of food and sampled everything. I am NOT surprised by the number on the scale this morning.
12/16 208.6 Walked 3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Book club party and yet again lots of yummy food! I chair the local Zeta alumnae book club. We had 60 nominations for books this year. 21 of the ladies voted electronically and we now have our reading list for 2022!

12/17 209.8 Walked 2.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 1 glass wine. Dinner out with DH after a very difficult day. Woke dizzy and could not make it to my exercise class as I felt too wobbly. Then grazed from 9am-1pm until I finally just took a nap.

@Lilylady3k Thank you for your book list! I have saved it. My daughter posts books she’s read on Facebook and I have gotten good reads from both sources but can never remember who gave what!
