    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.

    @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!

    @joans1976 Amanda, maybe a maintenance round is what your body needs. Hang in there and ride the wave 🌊

    @pezhed I had a prolapsed uterus (sorry if that offends) after baby #1 - she was over 8#. It became very painful as TOM approached and I had everything out at 44. Best thing ever! Sending prayers that your postnatal workouts help.

    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. I’ve been doing it for over 5 years with amazing results!

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    1/5 123.0 I think. I’m exhausted after not feeling well since before Christmas and now having young company for 3 days. Staying up way too late and eating out daily. Kids fly back to Iowa this evening, DH is trying to nap in our bed for the first time since shoulders have both been replaced in the last 4 months.
    1/6 124.0 Kids flight was delayed by an hour or more. I’m exhausted. Need to recover from sickness and company activity.

    1/8 125.0 First evening out since September. Good to see old friends.

    1/10 125.5 Not sure how I skipped recording yesterday. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ My head is still congested.

    @Skyleen75 I also feel “off” - I hope we both feel better!

    @quiltingjaine yes! I don't have severe pain with it but the mental space that the heaviness/bulging takes up is nearly unbearable around TOM..really leading up to, during, and after, so half the time I'm alive it's driving me crazy! Glad you found resolution, maybe someday for me. Thanks for the kind thoughts <3

    @quiltingjaine - Thank you for the welcome back. I was not as involved in the group as I hoped this first round, but I will be working on improving that. I'll be watching for the round 211 link!!!
