17: DNW π₯
18: DNW π₯I missed several rounds, but I'm back and glad it wasn't more rounds. Yesterday, I bought a Nordictrack elliptical off Marketplace for $20! The day before, I picked up a free Gold's Gym elliptical. Now, we have one for each house, and I can cancel my gym membership since it's the only thing I ever really used anyway. I'm very excited to not have to commute to access my preferred exercise method, especially since my house is 15 miles away from the gym and my bf's is about 30.
I know I've gained weight through this process of trying to adjust to living between two homes. I'm not sure how much, since I haven't been weighing. I'm guessing it's 10-15 pounds, but I suspect about half of that will come off fairly quickly. While I've been gaining from eating less healthy and not exercising as much, my bf has been losing weight from eating better than he used to! How's that for compromise? π€£
I'm REALLY looking forward to getting back on track again. Going to get on my elliptical right now!
19: 200.9 π₯ 10 pounds it is. Incremental goals reassessed. Getting on elliptical for third consecutive day after I get my kids to school.

I did a bit better yesterday/last night, but definitely a work in progress. Off to teach a doggy obedience class, then home to work more in my garden. I spend three hours yesterday manually edging a bed, digging out heavy clay. Definitely weight training!

Stayed within calories yesterday, and got lots of βreal lifeβ exerciseβ3 hours of dog training & teaching an obedience class + two hours digging out more garden border and planting a few seedlings. Itβs rainy today, but I got a bit of garden time between rains.

/ a little bit of hauling part of folks βcollectionβ out to the dumpster. I am always amazed whether cleaning my own desk, or cleaning my own house, how much worthless chaff I find that I held on to. For this reason, I am not criticizing my parents. / Big bowl of ice cream last night did not help the cause. Helped my parents sell their nice dining room table!

/ more hauling. Repeated trips out of the basement. A person could get fit doing this every day. I have a desk job. / Pretty easy choices instead of good choices for meals.

5/17 β 137.8 Man, I am just struggling to get my act together. I am not sure I ever even managed to post during round 186. So at least, here is a post. I am going to try and post each day for this round, and honestly track. fingers crossed!!
5/18 β 137.2 Yesterday, I made it through the day calorically. Tracked in full. Could not coordinate exercise, which I need to fix. Then, in the evening, new stressors hit. I should have used that as exercise impetus, but instead it meant I got into cheese and crackers that were not tracked. Shocked I went down. Today is looking good. Will try and keep βmy eye in the prizeβ!
5/19 β 136.6 Actually did a good day! Calories all on track, and somehow I closed all my apple rings without official exercise.

05/17 β¦..204.2 β¦.. (Trend weight 203.2) All day travel throughout Northern Michigan yesterday with a friend who had an appointment to look at a new (used) vehicle. Then lots of fun girl time and travel hitting car lots within a 200 mile vicinity. We think we found something after hours. Waiting for a return call today. Nice meal at a steak house. Snacks werenβt good.
05/18 β¦..204.4 β¦.. Trend weight 203.2) Dinner out with one of my children last night. Late Motherβs Day dinner. Mexican. Today is my PC doctor appointment and glucose check. I know it wonβt be good. I am beginning to suffer from severe Acid Reflux again. All the problems of obesity are returning. I know I have to get more serious and stay more consistent or more trouble is coming.
05/19 β¦..203.4 β¦.. (Trend weight 203.3) A friend brought dinner over last night. It was a pasta casserole which was loaded with chicken. I think I really needed the protein. My A1C went down at my doctor appointment but is still way to high standing at 10 point something. She wants to see me at 6.4 . She is going to see if another injectable medicine can be approved by my insurance company as she thinks I am having an allegric reaction to Trulicity (rash at injection site). Obviously she wants me to increase movement and lower my carbs to lower weight and glucose. She talked about my weight and how it will affect the cancer remission. Scary stuff.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Donβt stay away, stay accountable. We donβt 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 isnβt sustainable. Iβve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!

05/17 - 176.7 - 13,200 steps and 75 minutes. Well SO got called back to work, what a week I ordered a cake from a bakery and had to change the pickup date. Then I thought he was leaving this afternoon and I would be stuck with a whole cake, but he wiggled in an extra day home. Good news as we had planned a dinner out with some of the family to celebrate both his birthday and paying off our mortgage!! Hooray we are debt free!! Will celebrate with a bottle of wine! Calories are up and activity is down but that's ok as I'm spending time with my Love.
05/18 - 177.1- 13,800 and 92. Steps and minutes good, well over on calories but dinner was amazing with a pretty gin sour and glass of wine. I did box up some of my dinner and only had a small piece of birthday cake, usually I would have ate way more appies and all of my dinner. So I was technically somewhat mindful. I did have a great evening and I WILL get right back to my goals. SO left for work this morning so I'll have some of my leftovers tonight and eat light the next couple of days, plus a good walk in the evenings!
05/19 - 177.7 - 14,700 and 80. Huge wind storm here yesterday. Power was out at work, roads were full of trees, debris and a even a car shelter. Didn't take my 2nd walk but got extra steps in at work and the grocery store was closed so lunch today isn't the best. The scale number isn't so bad, I did have my dinner leftovers for lunch so a little more sodium then usual. It'll get back in line ... soon. This morning the sun is shining so I'm looking forward to a better day.

5/19 - DNW - Feeling better today. Took the kiddo to school so BF could shower, shave, and get what I call "man-pretty" for his interview. Found out last night, he completely skipped over Interview #1. This is it. This interview (he's currently doing) will determine if he gets a job or not. He said it could take a month or two to find out. He also has a pre-screening interview this afternoon as well. I'm all prettied up for my interview (by pretty I mean I put on clothes that make me feel like I'm in a real interview) but it's only a phone call. Sometimes you just have to get ALL the way ready to really get in the mood and with me not feeling 100% quiiiite yet, I'm using every trick under the sun. Plan on using a power pose (think Superwoman pose: fists on hips, chest and chin held high and confident) to help get those feelings flowing through me as well. Also emailed a follow up for the local county job but the HR lady is out of office until Monday according to her auto-reply. All the things happening in this household! Hopefully some good news for both of us coming soon. Also hoping this fatigue fades before I have to resume commuting to current job. Anxiety about that is really hitting me, despite having 3 more days, plus rest of today, to recover and get rested. Also hoping tomorrow I'll feel good enough to weigh in and see where I'm at. Had normal dinner yesterday as well as my ham, cheese, spinach quiche for breakfast with no issue. I wouldn't be shocked or angry if I'm up. I know I may still be retaining water and that's okay. Body was in survival mode. Water was good yesterday and today I'm on track to get my 90oz as well.

Previous Day's Comments5/17 - Virtual chat with doc today. She said she's had minimum 3 patients within the last week with the flu and all of them have almost identical symptoms as me. I'm on her orders to stay home from work until Monday to avoid being contagious around others outside the household (which can't be helped). I'm feeling better today, mainly this afternoon. Finally able to eat something other than broth for lunch/afternoon snack. Not near enough food, but muuuuuch better than yesterday. Giving my poor body energy to fight is important but trying to keep it down is more important. Yesterday and this morning was tiny sips of water and barely over 30oz. A little better this afternoon, can take bigger sips more frequently without nausea. TMI is iffy, but that may be from the illness OR from dehydration (it's a thing with me as I've learned in this group over time!) or both. I'm not going to weigh until I feel a little more back to normal, especially regarding water intake vs salty broth intake (the bloat is reaaaaaaal over here). But I needed nutrients however I could get them and keep them in my system so I'm not even mad about it and that's more important than how I look. Fatigue isn't as bad as yesterday, but still a tad bit there. I've been feeling warmer than I normally do (not curled up with a hoodie and blanket but in just a tshirt and no blanket. Very unusual for me). In the last hour or two I've finally started feeling my normal cold and I'm content in a hoodie (but no blanket yet so still elevated temp feeling). Doc thinks I'm on the recovery side of it, thankfully, so I'm going to chug along with caring for my body and doing what it needs for recovery vs needs to lose weight/gain muscle. On a happier note, I have an initial interview on Thursday (hopefully I'll be recovered enough by then) for a remote job. Need to email the local one I really want to see if there's any update.
5/18 - I'm feeling a bit better. Now it's the same symptoms of dehydration, which it very likely is. I do have a little fatigue, but better every day so far. I've had breakfast already and no cramping or nausea so much improvement there. All the fuel for my body to fight this illness off! Chugging down water and think, as long as I don't start to feel worse, I'll hit my 90oz again today. BF got notified he moved on to interview #1 for the screening interview he had last week. He also had a screening interview this morning for another job. (both these jobs have screening, interview #1, interview #2. Must pass each one to move on to next). My interview tomorrow is just a screening interview, I'm not terribly worried about that one. It's remote, so it's an improvement, but it's not my "ideal" job. We shall see how it goes. Emailed the job I really wanted for the county and the HR lady is out of office until Monday so I imagine I won't hear anything until then since almost everything goes through HR (she does have an assistant, but I haven't communicated with said assistant previously). They've been looking for someone for this position for 3 years and I've gotten the furthest apparently. Wish I knew about it when I moved down here! Apparently they hadn't kept the posting up and that explains why I didn't see it when looking for jobs to move to Texas in the first place. This round was posted only 19 days ago. Ahhh, waiting game.

EDIT: BF just walked out and said the interviewer (director/potential new boss) wants to send him immediately to the panel interview with VPs of the division and his (director's) peers next week. Said he still has one other interview like what BF did today, but he already wants to move him forward. Whoooo!!!!! They want to close this out by June 1st and have somebody lined up to offer to in early June. Fingers crossed next week goes super well for BF!9 -

5/17 165.8 I feel like I've gotten control of my sugar habitβbut that it won't be a lifetime struggle, but I know what works for me now (the 'delay, don't deny' approach: I still get my dark chocolate and Coke, but only a portioned amount in the one-hour window after dinner). Now I want to tackle my (lack of) exercise. Looking over post rounds, I average 2 walks per round. Yes, I have mobility challenges but I'm determined to move more!

5/18: 132.3 - Normal workouts, eating and sleep. Need to try and get more protein in my diet though and work on macros.
5/19: 132.5 - Normal workouts. I changed my calorie goals back to maintenance and ate back a large portion of my exercise calories yesterday. Still didnβt hit my protein goals, but percentage-wise was spot on. Good sleep.

Just want to stick with it !!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!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.5/16 136.4 β Same numbers as end of last round.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.
