It's 3 miles longer, but actually about 10-15 minutes faster according to GPS. The extra 3 miles is from the Ranch entrance to the house. I can get to the interstate quicker so less time on deer-busy roads that I'll need to take it extra slow (right now it's about 22 miles on backroads to get to the interstate. This one I'll only have 7 miles and a good chunk of that will be through town with less concern of deer)
I'm submitting escrow and option fee this morning after my meeting so we can get everything moving. The currently closing date is set for Feb 18th! So quiiiiick9 -
You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better than you were before

1/12 - 144.6 - Likely a dip because I only got in about 60oz water yesterday. I was absent-minded about it due to focusing on work, cooking dinner, and getting house paperwork completed. Whew. Even forgot to eat lunch! I did have a later breakfast, though, so it really counted as an early lunch for me I suppose. Leftover chicken&dumplings or stuffed pepper soup for lunch and I'm not sure of dinner yet. BF said he'd make something up from what we have in the house. Workout due today for NFJourney. All other habits good. Busy busy day, lots of work meetings. Will take a trip to the next town over to pay escrow and option fee today between meetings/over lunch.

Previous Day's Comments1/07 - Body is still holding on to some bloat, but I'm still dropping which I'm happy about. Today is rest day. I also have 2 doc appointments (1 in person women's health, 1 virtual) and apparently we are looking at a house this afternoon. Dinner was corned beef and cabbage chowder which I have plenty of leftovers for today. Between appointments and all, I may stop by the store to grab something for dinner tonight I can make.
1/08 - Not quite enough water, ate out (looking at house took longer than expected and we stopped to check out a local place in the area we didn't know about. It's super adorable, 100% want to visit again), and TMI not quite there. Today is air fryer wings for lunch (I may have a couple plain wings but eat more of that corned beef cabbage chowder). Dinner will be either stuffed pepper soup or homemade chicken and dumplings, depending on how BF work goes (he makes the chicken&dumplings). Workout due today but he has full schedule so I have time to procrastinate. Woke up suuuuuper early for no reason and feeling it so giving myself grace when it comes to energy levels. It's a rainy dreary morning here and quite chilly. Definitely taking this as my lazy day to relax and maybe read more of my book. Unfortunately it's an e-book, but I've had to sacrifice my paper books for sake of space. This house we looked at has built in shelving for books and I LOVE it. My current mini-library is full of mixed media. Some books in a series are paper while others I've had to contend with electronic versions. Drives me batty! (And yes, for those books I love, I'm THAT girl who will buy the paper copy of it even though I already bought the e-book of it. I always wanted a library!) Plus, paper copies are just so much more intimate for me. Mom (who is an author and the reason I'm a book nerd) thinks I'm crazy and has no idea where I get so many particularities with books from. It's not her, so long as it's a book, she's happy, regardless of the medium. Dad's not a book person. I'm also the girl who will very carefully read a paperback as to not crease the spine. And holy moly, do not dog ear or bend pages or write in them, I will LOSE IT. Unless I get secondhand books, of course. Then it's character teehee. Wish I had a secondhand book store here.
1/09 - Interesting. I feel less bloated and lighter today. I was excited to see what the scale said and, surprise surprise! An increase. I'm not worried about it, I'm just happy FEELING lighter, but I was shocked. Dinner this weekend was switched. Work allows Fam and BF some opportunity to get together so we had dinner there last night (smothered pork chops with rice and collard greens) and today we will head over for wings. I've got to get a list together to shop for at least 2 dinners this week and lunch for me. We will have chicken & dumplings and stuffed pepper soup during the week, but need 2 more dinners. Think I'll make myself taco salad for the week and if it's not enough, I'll take dinner leftovers (I mainly need something for tomorrow since I won't have leftovers from Fam)
1/10 - Water back up to normal. Food wasn't the greatest, but not the worst (wings and fries with leftovers for today. Added in some veggies for lunch as well). Tired this morning, for the first time in my life (that I wasn't horribly sick) that I remember, I slept through my alarms. I was so exhausted apparently. My final alarm was the absolutely latest I could wake up and be on time. I spent less time getting ready and gave myself a few minutes to do ground work (pushups, planks) for today's Nerd Fitness workout. I have lunges and rows to knock out at work. Thinking of waiting until the after lunch slump to do those to get my body moving and blood flowing. Hopefully it will keep me from dozing or zoning out. Dinner tonight is chicken & dumplings, BF is attempting to make my dumplings since I'm not home to do it. Leftover will be tomorrow's lunch.
1/11 - Leftover wings (plain) and added steamable veggies for lunch. Plus a banana as "dessert". Dinner was homemade chicken & dumplings. BF successfully made the dumplings! Go him! Water on track, too. Workout was completed during that after lunch slump and worked well. I'm back working from home today due to high covid positive numbers within the company (it's worse than the first round when noone quite knew what to do) and my work this week is all meetings so why go in? Today is leftover chicken & dumplings for lunch and I'll make my stuffed pepper soup for dinner.

Some time before moving in gives you a lot less stress and you get to make decisions and start decorating. My daughter and her husband recently bought an old house (built in 1948) inside Houston. They had an overlap too so were able to stay in their condo while the house was prepped for the move. They had the entire interior repainted and they hired a handy man to go through the inspection list and repair everything which was great $ spent. They also had the fence replaced before moving in since they have 2 large golden doodles and needed to ensure they were safe. Make a check list of need vs want ... and budget in the needs. You'll be happy to have them out of the way. GOOD LUCK!! HAVE FUN! and ENJOY your new place!
My husband would love a workshop but we just don't have that much space though he has managed to build a fishing boat with 90hp motor in our garage ... yep one that even pulled the kids water skiing.
That's so awesome!! Congrats to them!
We have a contractor as a good friend so we're going to enlist his help, too, on minor repairs. Most of it is just painting so we offered our friends beer and food to help us. They, of course, agreed! They're just so happy we've succeeded in getting an offer accepted, especially with this market. We discussed plans to update the fence. House is currently enclosed but gate is too close to garage to fit his truck and the gate itself pup can slip through. We've got a plan in place to remove the gate and still keep the pup in the fence (bonus, the current fence is taller than me! Harley can jump a standard chain link fence height so having this tall fence is DEFINITELY a huge improvement).
We've already started talking needs vs. wants vs budget. Paint and fence are high priority right now. Inspection is Tuesday so hopefully we can determine necessary repairs and work those into budget. EEK!9 -
@musicsax Thanks for the encouragement! My stress reached an overboiling point yesterday, but hopefully, I can keep everything under control until they leave on Saturday. Then life goes back to normal!7

Round 173 #️⃣1️⃣ (SW 253, FW 249)
Round 174
1/7- 249 The scale has been holding mostly steady over the holidays, so I would really like to break past my current rut and get to 247 at the end of ten days. I’m working on increasing my protein, fiber, and water intake.
1/8- 248 Yay for a drop! The in-laws are here for a week and watching Husband coach a lot of basketball, so I’m sitting on a lot of bleachers this week. Really making sure I stay under the calorie goal and especially fitting in the protein, I can tell it’s making a difference.
1/9 - 247.5 Another drop! 😆 l don’t have a lot to add from yesterday’s comments. It has been a nice, relaxing Sunday. Tomorrow I’m going to see some friends I haven’t seen in a year(ish) so I’m excited to see their reactions!
1/10 - 248.5
1/11 - 250 I’m stressed and 2nd gain is very disappointing. I was disappointed yesterday, I hadn’t expected a drop, but I wasn’t expecting a pound up. It was a busy day yesterday. The in-laws are STILL here, Husband had a basketball game about an hour away so I took a half day off and we didn’t get dinner until 8:00. If I were alone I would’ve eaten out of town, grabbed a McDs cheeseburger, eaten earlier, and been below my calorie goal. But FIL refused that plan and we at Sub Sandwiches an hour later… so to cut this long complaining story short, I expected another gain, but I’m still pissed about it.
1/12 249.5 I’m back with a more positive attitude today! 🙂 I did some stress crying and some cuddles with Husband last night and I’m feeling better today. I stayed under my calories yesterday and I have all my meals planned out for today with room for a little snack if I need/want one. I’m doing some shopping after school so I’ll get some extra steps in today as well. I’d love for the scale to get to 247 by the end of this round, so I’m still working towards that goal.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/7 - 200.2 - My scale just knows when it's the end of the 10 day round and decides to go up that day apparently. It helps that I did 3 Peloton rides and a 1.25 mile walk between weigh ins and ate light yesterday. This is the round where I duck below 200 and stay there! I'm so so so close. Please let it happen!
1/8 - 200.6
1/9 - 201.7
1/10 - 203.3 - Not surprised by this. Mondays are always high because of low-impact rides. I also drank a lot of water this morning because I was extremely thirsty when I woke up. I do have to get back in control of eating, however. My losses have gone down to nearly 0 when my workouts have been consistent and burning 500+ calories.
1/11 - Did not weigh
1/12 - 206.1 - Yeah. I didn't even weigh yesterday because I didn't work out and felt bloated. First time since summer I didn't weigh in. Then today I worked out and weighed in at this. I don't know what it is but since I've been close to 200, I've just mentally not been as motivated as I was the entire 100 lbs before that. It's really frustrating. I have to re-focus and remember how far I've come and there's just a little more loss to go and then maintain for life. Come on!

I’m struggling with motivation to reach my daily goals.
So my research came up with these helpful ideas
1. trick yourself into feeling motivated by changing your behavior.
Consider what you’re wearing, how you’re thinking.
Act as if you feel motivated, and your actions may change your emotions.
2.Use the 10-Minute Rule
Giving yourself permission to quit after 10 minutes.
When you reach the 10-minute mark, ask yourself if you want to keep going or quit.
You’ll likely find that you have enough motivation to keep going.
So today, I’m dressing up and for cardio I'll be setting my 10” timer
💗 Karen

Day/Weight/Comment
(1/6) =169 Fiton Leg workout, 1 mile walk, under 1000 calories, no evening snacking, YaY!
1/7 = 166.8 FitOn arm workout, under 1200 calories, to cold and windy to do much put quilt. -37 air temp, not sure the wind chill.
1/8 = 167.2 Weather was a fright, blowing snow, zero visibility, I was suppose to get my son at the airport two hours away, after only traveling five miles and seeing two cars in the ditch, and snow drifts across both lanes of traffic, I turned around. He got picked him up and dropped him off at my daughters in town. So anyway some stress going on because I failed my task for the day. Ugh! Over indulged.
1/9 = 166.2 Shoveled, trying snowmobiling a path so I could do chores without sinking, got the snowmobile stuck twice, more shoveling. I don't really like to snowmobile, can't wait for the boys to come home and clean out the yard. Visited friends so a bit more indulging but better at managing it.
1/10 = 168,6 FitOn Arm workout, walked a mile inside. My snacking time is evening, I did break down and had one piece of peanut brittle. I hate to throw it out but I should, though it was not large and I used it as a crutch to not have a caloried beverage or other snacks.
1/11 = 167.2 FitOn Balance and Focus workout. Weather is warming up. Hoping to go sking tomorrow.

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.
1/7- 193.6 47 net carbs, Pelo ride done, and step goal achieved yesterday. Getting closer to my pre Christmas low!
1/8- 193.4 63 net carbs and almost made the step goal. It was a day spent in the kitchen decorating a cake, so a small loss is great considering.
1/9- 192.2 Only a pound away from my pre Christmas low! 63net carbs yesterday.
1/10-190.2 Well I’m not sure how that happened, but WOOHOO! I even had a beer with dinner last night, which I wasn’t sure how it would affect things. 72 net carbs and a Pelo ride in. Let’s make today great too!!
1/11- 189.8 NEW DECADE!! Even with pizza night and it’s extra carbs last night, I still dropped. I wound up resetting my calorie goal last weekend because the previous 1260/day was starting to take a mental toll. Now with an additional 200 calories a day, it’s much easier. Finished yesterday with 92 net carbs, step goal hit, and strength training done.
1/12- 189.8 I was hoping for a drop, but considering the big drops of late, I’m okay with staying the same. 88 net carbs yesterday and Pelo ride done. Planning to make today a lower carb day, as pizza and sushi the past two days have put me higher than usual. I suspect that might be influencing the scale just a bit.

1/7- 200.4 (-.6) Ohhh! I thought today might be the day. I did swim yesterday, but it was after lunch and I felt so sluggish. I usually swim after a light breakfast. Still, despite the frigid weather, I did it and was really proud of myself. Fridays are usually the day I have my indulgence meal for the week. Lunch with a friend was cancelled so I may not. I haven’t decided yet. Just so close…
1/8- 200.2 (-.8) Argh! I stayed focused yesterday but was still disappointed. I will have my indulgence meal today, so this will bump up again before the next downward slide. Trusting the process.
1/9- 201.8 (+.8) I had my indulgence meal and enjoyed every bit of it. I’m back on track today and hope to be under 200# later this week.
1/10- 201.2 (+.2) Dropping back down after my indulgence meal. No organized exercise today. I did go to Orange Theory yesterday. Still thrilled with how strong I’m getting after swimming and hiking so much.
1/11- 201.2 (+.2) Expecting a whoosh soon. I’ll be swimming today and getting back into my art studio.
1/12- 199.6 (-1.4) Woohoo! Happy dancing and burning extra calories here in Colorado. No organized exercise today…painting with friends. I’ve really focused on getting my water in the last few days and I think that made a big difference.22 -

Oops—went a little nuts last night. The cold weather makes me crave fats & carbs! Back with a plan today. I just spent 20 min out throwing balls for Rory—it’s 7F (-14C) feels like -8 (-22). Bracing!
1/08 - 179.4, 178.6
Last minute dinner at friends’ place last night threw a big wrench in my tidy calorie plan. Fun, though! So hopefully back on track today. We got up late, so with late breakfast I may skip lunch, and dinner is planned. Now if I can get back to not snacking…. Off to brave the cold —Rory is full of beans and needs a good run.
1/09 - 179.2, 178.7
Time lag. Yesterday was barely over calorie goal, and today is planned. I’m making vegetarian mulligatawny soup for dinner—yummy. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!
1/10 - 178.8, 178.7
Brrr. ❄️💨🌨 Otoh, the soup was really delish—DH went back for thirds! Everything restarts today—doggy school for Rory, a writing class I’m teaching—so I’m hoping that will leave less time to sit around and munch. 😁 I’ll miss dinner tonight for Rory’s class, so I’m making salmon patties and roasted sweet potatoes for lunch. That should hold me. Stay warm, those of you in the frigid zone!
1/11 - 178.4, 178.6
I think I’ll make Mondays & Tuesdays very low-cal days for the next 8 weeks—Rory has classes at dinner time Mon and lunch time Tues, so if I can just skip those meals…. I did fine last night. We’ll see how it goes.
1/12 - 178.4, 178.5
Ok, two very low calorie days in a row, and today is planned, so hoping for a drop tomorrow.

@schmoyew and @200karen
You've got this! Right now is the time not to give in or give up. These are the moments where we've all given up in the past, me included. If you need to, reset at maintenance for a week or two and give yourself some grace and then jump back in. I've been 250+ for the last 20+ years and never thought I'd be able to lose weight. Today, this very day, I'm at 199.6 and have lost 64.5 pounds since May. Trust the process. The losses will come.13 -

Going for 2 pounds this round. It's been below freezing, snowy and dark and it's harder to get out for long walks, but I'm staying in the lower end of my calories range, so doable.
01/08: 193.4 lbs (+0.4)
I'm totally OK with a slight bump up. Yesterday was a semi-rest day. Back at it today!
01/09: 194.4 lbs (+1.0)
Ugh. Bad choices yesterday and severely lacked water. Not happy about posting this but I need to be accountable.
01/10: 194.8 lbs (+0.4)
Out of control. Gotta stop the free fall. Bad weekend, too much junk and not enough exercise.
01/11: 194.6 lbs (-0.2)
Well, right direction at least! Not throwing in the towel just yet.
01/12: 193.2 lbs (-1.4)
Phew! Almost back down to before weekend weight. Gotta be more careful on days out if I want to reach my goal.

Nice work everyone who is bouncing back after the holidays. And anyone struggling, that fact that you are still posting and trying is everything. That perseverance will get you through this hump!
You are all inspirations and deserve a lot of credit for taking responsibility for your health and your lives!11
