Always a sad day when the bike moves indoors for the winter... What do you ride?
I'm a Roadie, ride a Trek Madone 5. Pipa is a good bike, but I've not been deserving of her lately. She's geared for speed and when I was lighter and more fit I could climb with her just fine when I wasn't racing. Now I walk a hill or 2 from time to time. Need to rectify that with new gearing or a smaller me.2 -
Fresh start today. Going to let the last 2 months go and do better this month. Not perfect, just better. 'Cause I know I'll indulge a few days this month.
I'm going back to what worked for me. Mini meals every 2.5-3 hours, lower carbs (not no carbs), LOGGING my food and setting goals. Gotta get some water in as well. Maybe even start working out again. The bloat is real right now. Wore a pair of pants I bought in October and I had a belly bulge. No thank you! I'll weigh in next week, and see where I am after I flush out the excess of Thanksgiving.
JFT Monday
- Work by 8:00am
- Meetings
- Breakfast
- Work on identifying unknown material
- Mini Meals
- Log food
- Lower carb meals
- Drink more water, start with 32oz/day work up to 64oz/day
- Finish decorating the house for Christmas (minus putting ornaments on the tree, will wait for V to be home for that tomorrow).
- Reasonable dinner (Skip the rolls)
- Bed by 11:00pm
Feels good to set goals again, even though none are major.
Have a stellar day y'all!

Hour commitment - trip home today. I won’t eat anything else until after 12 pm. I can still have my dose of metamusal before we leave. For lunch, can have all or some of the following: up to 4 of the date rolls, 2 of the mandarin cups, the last small cheese, 1 chobani, and a little of DH’s candy crap. Will be glad to get home to my own food again!3

2022 Goals: mainly updates from the last two years
1) Weight 150#
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (for the visual). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~- 1.31.22 forgot to measure & log (DDS 8:20, quick stops at bread store & grocery essentials, then to mom & dad's for her bday)
- 3.1.22 (still recovering from flu 2.23-2.25)

- 8.2.22 up again ~ gah! (lazy in July & ate whatever I wanted)
- 9.1.22 not doing so great eating-wise
- 9.30.22 leveling off, starting downwards again
- 10.31.22 not pretty... I can't stand being this heavy again!
- Started PT (physical therapy) exercises 1.28.22 due to overuse of arthritic knees
- started MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,022km challenge on Jan. 1
- Frenzy on the Fox (River Trail) 5K on 1.21.22 ~ untimed event, per MapMyWalk 53.47 & ave. pace 16:30, frigid this year with wind chill at zero
- registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22 ~ medico nixed race b/c inflammation in knee due to overuse & my arthritis = sad me but good for my knee
- Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 (first time in person since 2019) ~ 1:41:02 ave. pace 16:27 first half 51:35 second half 50:26 & knees were fine
happy me - Packers 5K on 7.16.22 ~ 48:48 average pace 15:43 finished 37/81 in my age group (I'm oldest year in range haha)
- Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay) ~ 48:56 ave. pace 15:45 overall 202 of 296 not too shabby 9 days before I turned 65yo
- register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22 (price goes up in Sept) ~ reconsidered due to knees on nature trails with rocks, tree roots & finishing up a very steep sledding hill... have decided not doing this year (maybe ever again = sad me b/c I love trail events)
- watch for other events to add
- maybe Jingle Bell 5K in person this year? need to watch for
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well
9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement ~ not much progress lately, at least dining room done1 -
Hour lunch - I won’t eat again until after 5 pm1

Didn't get on here last nite .. so busy, and just ran out of time.. then it was time for bed.
Did a little better today .. except I got into the raisins and cashews. I need to do like @TerriRichardson112 said .. and put them harder to get to!
JFt, Tues
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water
3. go to gym or walk.. suppose to be close to 70 tomorrow, then gets cold again
4. evening snack .. NO raisins or nuts!!! can have frozen grapes, apple, or protein bar or protein shake, or popcorn. But only 1 .. ha .. not all of them!
***************************
5 pound challenge .. lost 5# by end of year! Weigh-insTrying to weigh every saturday
November 12: 205.0 ! Yikes. I knew I was up, because my jeans are once again tight. So my goal is to be back in onderland by January 1st!
Nov 18: 207.2 --- the scale is going the wrong direction.. and when I look back, I know why.Its mindless eating of even "healthy" foods like raisins, banannas, nuts, etc. So, that must stop
Nov 26: 209. going in the wrong direction... back to starting weight ... but tomorrow is a new day. too much overeating for thanksgiving, so hoping for a loss next week.

@pridesabtch . I've heard so many people say that mini meals are so much better. I tried that myself, but somehow then I ended up eating too much. But I know for so many eating that way works!
@Bex and @Snowflake68 -- you can do it! Its is hard though this time of year! I've been trying extra hard, but I think the holidays just make it really hard.. plus the gloomy weather. I know I need sunshine! So I'm thinking even if we can not gain .. consider that a win win.

Have a stellar day y'all!
Yesterday went well, other than water consumption. I'll take 90% as a win.
I finished decorating inside the house and hubby finished the exterior. We did a fun Grinch theme outside this year. I think it turned out very cute. It kind of dwarfs the nativity, but it is in a different area of the yard so it's ok.
Today is a light day, just work & Bible study.

Goals for 11/29
- yoga
- 40 oz of water
- Log all food
- Nutritionist appointment
Trying to pretend yesterday just didn’t happen. Hopefully my appointment goes okay and I’ve actually managed to hit the goal weight I have in mind. It would be a very small victory but I feel like I haven’t had any victories lately so I’ll take what I can get.2 -

I saw your post from yesterday, you still achieved 2 out your 3 goals! I know it might have not gone exactly to plan, but you're still here, you're holding yourself accountable by logging what you are eating!
Good luck for today, let us know how you get on and if you haven't reached your goal weight try not to beat yourself up about it and keep going! The point is your trying, and you might not feel like you are because you're not seeing results but you're here aren't you?, so you're trying and that's all that matters!
Big hugs xx2 -

I have a bit of a weird challenge....
Context: Ive been trying to trim up for years now. I had an easy time going from a 27.9 BMI to 22.7. All i did was cut out starches and ate as much as i want. Now that's stopped working, but i still have ten pounds left. I had success with calorie counting but it killed my energy and i gained the ten pounds back. I tried every diet, but all gave me some sort of trouble.
But then something weird happened. I quit my caffeine teatotaling ways. On days i drink, my appetite is completely different. Instead of being hungry constantly, im only hungry three times a day. And i never overeat; even the slightest bit of overeating makes me feel terrible. Im also calmer and have an easier time saying no to food. I think i found my secret weapon. Maybe not, but im eager to give it a chance.
There's a caveat tho: Im not used to consuming caffeine regularly. Its very easy for me to forget to and eat like how i used to. I have the opposite problem of the average joe!
So this is my goal for today and for tomorrow: Drink as much caffeine as i want, as long as i have at least one cup of coffee (or equivalent) before noon, and one after but before the sun sets.
If i can make this a habit, then i have a feeling it will serve as a great base going on for weightloss and fitness.
I'll report back Thursday morning.2 -
