A little surprised at this today as I had a long day at work yesterday and didn't get my exercise in. I also gave in to a craving I have had for a while and had a few wings. However, this was somewhat planned as I told myself last week I could have them if I waited until yesterday. It may show tomorrow, but I plan on getting in a good workout this afternoon and trying to hit my step goal even though I will be working late.

Hi everyone, I’m Amanda. I did these 10 day challenges all through last summer and most of fall. I stopped due to some medical issues in November and I really missed it but just couldn’t swing it. Anyway, I’m back, having gained 5 pounds but still with the medical issue. So, I’m giving this a try again as this is the challenge that works the best for me!
Good luck to everyone!

Yesterday was a tough day medical wise and I really, really wanted to drown my sorrows in dark chocolate. After much internal debate I chose 1 Oz of dark chocolate and a strawberry smoothie. It did the trick but the chocolate would have too 🫤
1/6: 203.1
Went to bed hungry last night, which has not happened in many, many months. I think my body wants to stress eat.
1/7: 204.1
1/8: 205.6 Ugh
Dinner out last night and I worked hard to make good choices but you just can’t control or appropriately log when you’re at a restaurant, especially a buffet. Did my best.

Well if this was the 10 days maintenance challenge I would be golden! Gotta get a grip.

My calories were good yesterday and did a big strength day at the gym.

01/10 -200.4- (Trend weight 199.5) I just realized that I will be ultra bloated for an extended period of time. Due to all my travel this week, I can only take my water pill one time in 8 days (normally every other day) and it will have to be Thur or Fri. I’ll be floating and will have to watch how hard my heart is working too! The scale is going to reflect this. I really won’t know much accuracy until it settles down. Travel days Mon, Tue, Wed, Sat, Sun, Mon.

01/11 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

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

1/2 / 179.8 / Yesterday was a great day across the board. I'm working on five habits in January and I checked all the boxes. My husband and I went for a really long walk and enjoyed the start of the New Year together. The dog was thankful too!
1/3 / 178.4 / First day back to work for 2023 was a success in terms of staying on track with my goals. I have some intentional choices to make tonight to stay on track, but I feel confident.
1/4 / 178.2 / Another good day, sticking with my habits and making it happen. Got on the Peloton tonight as well.
1/5 / 178.8 / My alarm was not welcomed today. Lunch out with colleagues will require good planning.
1/6 / 179.2 / An eventful day. My first Friday in years at the office. Only perk was getting to wear jeans for casual Friday. At lunch my boss threw us a pizza party as thanks for all the hard work over the holidays due to some issues in my industry. I ate well there and was proud of my choices overall. However, after work colleagues were going for beers, I had a couple, and then inhibitions went out the door. Ended up overeating on date night out with my husband. On the plus side, my steps are already over 12K today.
1/7 / 180 / Happy with my choices at the dinner theatre last night. I got up and squeezed in a 15 minute Peloton ride before breakfast which is great because it's been pretty sedentary around here since then watching the football game. I'm waiting for my husband to finish his workout and then we'll walk the dog together. I travel for business later this week so we want to make the most of our weekend time together.
1/8 / 180.4 / Yesterday was good across the board. I am up to commute into the office this morning. Lunch out with my husband planned and then salads for dinner.
1/9 / 179 / Got my 10K steps yesterday. Went out for lunch but made good choices. Today I fly for business so I won't be back on a scale until Friday.

No energy yesterday, so I am glad I have some spare minus “buffer” pounds-as I do not see myself on the treadmill today either. However, not eating seems to balance out the lack of exercise.

@Pezhed I love Puerto Rico. A few years back, we were to go but Hurricane Maria hit
and then Covid and then my husband’s semi-retirement meant he stopped going to many of the science conferences. Hope you had a great time..

Hi all,

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is dong well and has a plan to make this day a healthy one!

Yesterday was crazy and i didn't get to bed until midnight. My son's plane was late, and we had sushi for him. I was eating sushi at 10:30 last night. Sigh. I order sashimi, to avoid the rice bomb, but i did have a few pieces of the rolls, too. Soy sauce and nighttime eating did show on the scale this morning. It will settle if I watch salt today and get my exercise!

SW: 204
Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 204 (Wow. I gained five pounds over the holiday. It was a real shocker to see this number, although the fit of my pants should have provided a clue! Ate well today and exercised. Drank herb tea only after 7pm, which is a good strategy for me when I am trying to lose weight!)
1/3 202 (Two pounds were obviously water weight! Plan for today: Eat on plan and track. 30+ mins brisk walk. 2-5 min. cardio burst 4x during the day. Lower body strength training 40 mins.)
1/4 199 (?? Probably water weight and losing the carbs of the holiday from my gut? My muscles are slightly sore from weight training on Monday, so this will account for a pound or two as well, which might come off in the next few days? I’ll take it! Today, fewer carbs and more veggies. I ate a noodle bowl yesterday, which used up a lot of my day’s calories, but I felt a bit depleted and ate the carbs with great enjoyment!)
1/5 200 (Sore today, and it is showing on the scale. All good! My eating was really good yesterday, and I got good exercise. No snackig after 7:00, but I did have tortilla chips with one meal... blue corn chips are so delicious! My post-holiday detox, no alcohol, is so far problem-free.)
1/6 199 (Still quite sore, even after a rest day! Plan to work upper body today, in between trying to get my taxes done before school starts. Eating was good yesterday, and I stayed on plan, but tonight I may have to negotiate a restaurant meal. My strategy is to have a salad and lean protein, with no carb- or fat-laden extras. I may have a bite of someone’s dessert, but, for a person who grew up in an era where brewed coffee that had turned to creosote over many hours on the warming plate, tempered with--gag, cough, barf--powdered creamer, was the norm, a cappuccino really does feel like a treat!)
1/7 199 (Had a good day for eating on plan, but was quite busy and did not do my planned workout. If the scale isn’t moving, it is probably due to that. It would be easier if exercise alone or planned eating alone would do the trick, but for me it is always—always--a combination of the two that results in weight loss! Today I will do BOTH!)
1/8 200 (? I made pea soup, which does have salt, and had it for dinner with a slice of ham, so I am probably retaining water. Plan for today: Lots of desk work today, so need to put in at least 5 cardio bursts, an upper body workout and a nice walk in between sessions of sitting.)
1/9 199 (Back to school today. Plan: eat as planned, run up to 5th floor 2x during the day. Sushi with son tonight and I know what I will have. No extra dynamite roll pieces! 2 is my limit so close to bedtime! I can do this! Soy sauce will definitely show on the scale tomorrow morning, so I will not despair!)
1/10 201 (Had a few pieces of sashimi and sushi with my son last night and, yes, the scale is showing the salt. All good. It will cycle through! Today I need to jump on the treadmill right after school before I sit down with a pile of essays...)

1/9: 122! I'm okay with this since I really wasn't mindful at all and ate and drank to my heart's content while in Puerto Rico. My only exercise was wrangling my kids and walking to and from the beach. Having the kids back in daycare is a relief today! Have a busy day at work planned but I'm hoping to squeeze in a dog walk and a Peloton ride over lunch break. Today feels like the ultimate Monday, though, whew. 2.5 weeks off of work felt like a long time. What's my job again???
1/10: 121.6. Yesterday was good. I fasted until 2 and just had a couple of small snacks, which got me through to a late dinner. I did a peloton ride and a dog walk. I'm kind of at a loss as far as strength training goes. Going from lifting weights to taking time off made me realize the weightlifting was exacerbating the umbilical hernia I have (discovered during my first pregnancy but never seen by a doctor). I think for now I will stick with postnatal-specific workouts, which sucks because I was loving feeling stronger. But I have to work with what I have, which is kind of a lousy mid-section at this point. Spoiler tagged due to talk about female anatomy for anyone who isn't interested in that:

In addition to the hernia, I have a birth injury called pelvic organ prolapse which is somewhat limiting, but the postnatal core workouts will hopefully help me manage that. I think it's pretty common during menopause, but it feels too early and very frustrating for me. Sorry for the TMI, just needed to vent my frustrations into the world since my issues are invisible to others in real life.

Day/Weight/Comment no food after dinner 💚

1/02 - 178.4 💚
Yay me — just a nice hot cup of bouillon around 9 p.m. but no caloric snack. One day at a time, right?

1/03 - 178.6 💚
I really wanted a late-night snack last night, but stuck to the plan with a cup of warm, unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I’m feeling very virtuous. 😇

1/04 - 178.2 💚
Last night I really really wanted to eat something—I wasn’t hungry, but my mouth wanted it. I almost broke down, but had a cup of salt-free chicken bouillon instead, and was reasonably satisfied and happy that I didn’t cave in. I’m making a point of eating well breakfast-lunch-dinner, with plenty of protein and 350-400 calories. It seems to be helping. I haven’t been actually hungry at night the past three nights, just “mouth” hungry, if that makes sense. I love the 10-day goal setting in general, and in this case I think if I can not snack for ten days I’ll be on my way to breaking that terrible habit.

1/05 - 177.2 💚
Yes! Finally headed back in the right direction. And my no snacking venture seems to be working—last night I just had a can of plain seltzer; didn’t bother with my hot drink. I ate plenty at my three meals. I was a bit hungry by bedtime, but resisted. Feeling hopeful.

1/06 - 177.2 💚
I’m happy to say I’ve made it almost a week without nighttime snacking other than bouillon or hot almond milk. I also am getting more exercise with Booker, my new pup. Yesterday he ran his first baby track (following a scent trail) and did great. He’s a smart little cookie. I’ll be glad when he doesn’t need to go out every two hours all night, though! Thank goodness for afternoon naps. Here’s a pic my friend and training buddy took yesterday. I love how focused he is— 8 weeks old.

1/07 - 177 💚
Another night without nighttime snacking. Yay! I woke up famished, but that’s a good thing, I suppose. Now to keep it up. I did bake oatmeal cookies for DH and samples one, but still stayed within calories.

1/08 - 177.2 💚
I really don’t get it. For the past week I’ve kept my calories below 1200, have had nothing but bouillon or hot unsweetened almond milk at night, and have gotten more exercise than I have in weeks. My macros are on target. I suppose eventually the weight will drop off, but holy cow, it’s frustrating.

1/09 - 176.2 💚
Finally. 😁

1/10 - 176.2 💚
Well, it’s getting easier to ignore my urge to eat at night. Maybe I really will break that habit.

1/10 - 165.5 - Heavy pasta dinner did not help the scale this morning but I braved it since I felt so much less bloated and didn't have the heavy feeling all over my body. Went for an after-work-before-dinner walk with pup yesterday. Only went 1 mile, but that's 1 mile more than I have been doing the last few months. Plus, it's so beautiful out. T-shirt in January for a walk outside? YES PLEASE. Slept in a bit this morning as I woke up with a really bad cough in the middle of the night. I will try to do a quick yoga workout over lunch break instead. Changed the way I script in my journal now I've done some research. Still have some more articles pulled up to read during work breaks through the day to better understand how I want to do it. Same with the 3-6-9 manifestation method. There's more to both I'm not yet understanding, but I'm learning! I want to use both to manifest health, happiness, energy, and confidence so it really aligns with this group, NerdFitness, the FeelGood Plan, and all the things I'm really excited about right now. I'm feeling confident I can do it, I just have to get through this learning curve and find the routine that works for me! I'm speaking this into the world (and to you all) so that it'll come about so long as I keep trying!

Previous Day's Comments

1/02 - Had wings yesterday with Fam and I know that always brings an uptick. Oh and I hit my highest weight EVER on New Years Eve.... joy. Apologies for not posting much, MFP decided that my account had been deactivated whenever I'd try to come on to post. But it wasn't deactivated on my phone as I was able to log in, log food, update progress (measurements and weight). Finally got it sorted out, though. Happy New Year, everyone! I'm not one for resolutions so I simply have my Nerd Fitness Anti-Challenge/Anti-Resolution. Its a 5 day program to set us up to NOT fail like most resolutions. And we are only making "resolutions" we have plans for by the end of this mini challenge (plans meaning: what to do when life gets in the way and we'd normally quit). I also have my new planner which has a place to note daily what you're grateful for, your mood, your self care (yes or no: food, movement, sleep, water, nutrition/supplements/vitamins) daily affirmations, dream journals, ritual/mindful minutes (meditation, morning rituals/bedtime rituals, etc), scripting (I'm scripting my day ahead what I hope/imagine it will be. Speaking good things into existence), 3-6-9 manifestation (learning more about that still), and 1 thing I did to move forward that day. In addition, I'm conveniently over my sinus infection as of Saturday so yesterday I woke up, took all my measurements, and got ready to start my FeelGood Plan (book) work. Week 1 is mostly just paying attention -- journal about sleep (when I went to bed, when I turned lights off, when I woke up, how I felt.), food (when I ate, how I felt right before/during/after eating. Log the food to start to see patterns, etc), and begin the 15 minute workout (provided bodyweight 3x week, Mon/Wed/Fri and choose 15 minutes of activity Saturday to get me moving, even if its just walking). I'm up super early today (430am!) but I went to bed super early last night and listened to my body. Instead of forcing myself back to sleep and oversleeping, I woke up and and I'm doing my morning ritual. I decided what I'm grateful for, wrote my affirmation, completed my dream journal (didn't remember anything, but can note down FeelGood Plan stuff), check in here, and then off to work out! Then coffee once it brews so I can sip that while scripting out my day. It's a day off work (not for BF) so I'm running errands and making dinner. Sorry so long! A lot to catch up on!
1/03 - Yay, a drop! I was mindful through the day with food because I knew the meal BF requested was NOT pretty. (Chicken bacon ranch stromboli. From scratch). I'm rather surprised I dropped this much eating that. I did, however, make a decision to take the pup for a much needed after dinner/before dark walk. By the time I got back, I had determined I didn't want any of the cheesecake I made (BF, who hates sweets, loves cheesecake. But he had only ever had strawberry swirl, which I made last week (better than the store-bought he had previously Win!) So now I experimented with a peanut butter cheesecake). I got in my FeelGood plan workout plus Yoga for Flexibility yesterday morning, as well. The NF Anti-Challenge yesterday was to change ONE thing - route to work to pass by gym, pack a gym bag, put yoga mat front and center rather than hiding in closet, etc. Also, to write down "emergency" workouts for when life happens (travel, time, not feeling it, etc). Today I already completed morning portion of planner and Yoga for Flexibility as my "stretch" day for FeelGood Plan. Time to get to work, I suppose! Goal: get up and move more frequently during the day!
1/04 - Cheesecake taste test last night. BF was right, too sweet. No more of that. Walked pup 1.5 miles before dinner. Today I'm cooking so not sure I'll fit in walk. I did squeeze in my FeelGood Plan workout in despite turning my alarm off when I meant to hit snooze! I slept (and dreamt) an extra 21 minutes. Guess I needed it! No room for yoga due to that debacle, but tomorrow is stretch/rest day and I can make it up. Dinner is beef stroganoff using the leftover ground beef we have. Ate 1/3rd kale salad for lunch today (plus roasted sweet potato), 1/3 will accompany dinner and 1/3 saved for tomorrow.
1/05 - I have logged YET ANOTHER highest weight ever. I have no idea what's going on. I don't feel overly sore from my workout, I drank all my water (and then some), I logged all my food, even my little chocolate oopsie (I was at maintenance calories at most). Sodium? It isn't TOM, that I know. Went for evening walk with pup as BF was hungry early and we ate early enough to squeeze it in before dark. I got the most steps I've had since last summer! All the things and yet, I'm just increasing my "start weight" rather than decreasing my "lowest weight". Nothing I can do at this point but keep trying. Being upset is only going to make it harder so acceptance it is.
1/06 - It's a drop. A small one, but it's there. Dinner was a bit over seasoned. Mainly with cayenne pepper, but probably salt that I couldn't taste over the spiciness. Also finally got TMI after a lack thereof yesterday. Hopefully that helps with tomorrow's weigh-in. I got in a loooong walk (for us, at least. 1.8 miles to mailbox and back) with pup between work ending and dinner prep yesterday evening. Today I woke up without an alarm (I had to factory reset my Fitbit and completely forgot to set alarms) about 9 minutes later than alarm would normally be set. I got in my FeelGood Plan workout and all my journaling. Feeling quite good today in that regard. The factory reset on the fitbit was to get hourly reminders to move (if I don't hit 250 steps every hour, it tells me I have 10 minutes left to do so and how many steps are left to hit the 250 minimum). I have it set up for 7am to 7pm Monday - Friday. Unfortunately I don't know a way to up the number of required steps so I guess 250 will have to do. It will still get me off my bum every hour which I need! Fasting again today. I made it 15 hours yesterday before I needed a handful of grapes to settle the beginnings of the nausea feeling. Slowly but surely my body is adjusting!
1/07 - DNP
1/08 - Drop yesterday, I think, was due to less sodium and more TMI. Today's weight increase is due to fast food for lunch as we worked on house reno with Fam all day followed by a late dinner. I had a small taste (not quite a quarter of a cup's worth total) of 2 different kinds of dairy free ice cream after home cooked dinner. It put me over calories for the day (but under maintenance). I figured I'd work it off today with more house reno work. I did, however, fast until that fast food lunch, which I'm quite happy about. Hoping to continue that today. If we do fast food again, I'm attempting to be more mindful of my choices and while eating than I was yesterday. I did choose a healthier option than I originally wanted, but I was very distracted while eating. Work in progress, but at least I'm trying and that's all I can ask of myself!
1/09 - Have a horrible feeling I'd see a new highest weight ever today if I stepped on the scale. I feel so heavy and bloated. I decided to save myself the mental anguish and just not weigh in today. Yesterday was simply a calorie bomb and my body decided it was hungry enough to override my mind. Plus, the amount of salt cannot simply be flushed out in a single day, no matter how much water I drank. About to knock out this FeelGood plan workout, then yoga if I have enough in the tank. Finishing off before work with my journaling. Reestablishing all my good habits today and will be working hard to undo all the damage from the weekend.

Round 210 SW 211.2 RGW 209.2 EW

SW: 211.2 1/1/2023 Focus is on sugar and water intake for this round, less sugar and more water.
Day/Weight/Comment

1/2 210. This is a pleasant surprise. I did eat less sugar and I did drink more water. Now to do it again. I always start off well and within a few days I give in to emotional and stress eating. Need to keep myself busy.

1/3 210 I’m very happy that the number did not go up. I did watch my sugar and drank my water but probably had too much sodium. Also not much movement yesterday.

1/4 209.6. Another great day. I know the way this works but I always fail due to emotional eating. My biggest challenge has always been how to channel that into something else and control what I put in my mouth. Looking at planning food and activities one or two days at a time right now and not any further. I want it to become a new habit of better self care.

1/5 209.6 Stayed the same but that’s great. So far so good today, challenges all around but need to also focus on me.

1/6 210 I don’t know how that happened as I was under my calories for the day yesterday. I’ll just take it as a normal fluctuation.

1/7 210 Ho hum! I didn’t gain but at least staying the same. I was good on the calories although hubby and I split a regular sized chicken Philly cheesesteak from Charlie’s. We had a combo and since he is on a low sodium diet I ate the fries. I’m sure that’s what happened with no loss.

1/8 210.6. Snacking again with its consequential gain. How disappointing but I know it would happen as I was doing it. Is that progress? Still it continues to happen.

1/9 210.2. Lost most of gain but still not close enough to round goal. A few more days to get there.

1/10 210.6. Ate fast food cheeseburger and fries. Good the rest of the day. Hoping it’s mostly salt which was of course was higher.

@tiabirdie56 Hi Tish! I meant to welcome you back the other day but my brain seems to have some issues since we were sick at Christmas. It’s good to see you again. 2022 was a very difficult year.

@SModa61 Welcome back to you also!
