    1/12 - 163.9
    1/13 - DNW - We got a new puppy last night. He was found beside the highway on Dec 30th with porcupine needles all in his face. He's off antibiotics, still healing, but good for adoption. We think he was abused and dumped because he cowers to when BF talks stern (training talk, not a good boy/good job talk). He has no issues with me, though. Our other pup, Harley was also abused as a pup so its a hurdle BF already knows how to work through. He's about 6 months old and so sweet. A mutt. Lab mix, we think American pit. Harley is red-nosed pit and sharpei mutt. She's jealous, but it hasn't been 24 hours yet. She hasn't attacked, though, which was a big concern. It'll take time... Anyway, I woke up at 3am and didn't bother weighing, just went to the other room to read and then sleep on couch once tired enough again. Dinner is pre-logged since we're having dinner with Fam at theirs tonight. Only thing I haven't done is my 15 minute workout. Think I'll split it into 2 and do one now (once I post), one later, maybe before dinner. Journaling done. All other goals good (: Hopeful for this weekend to go better than the last.

    Previous Day's Comments
    1/12 - Would you look at that! I managed to maintain this loss and meet my goal for the round on the first day! That's even after eating out last night and having half a personal pizza (with added protein/veggies) and a single cocktail (treated that as dessert). I was mindful of my choices, my calorie allowance/movement, and my goals when making the choice. I only ate back 100 exercise calories out of the 300! I also took my time to allow my body to tell me I'm satiated before continuing. I'd normally eat nearly the whole pizza in the past but now I know better and I'm proud of that progress! Rough night last night so I slept until naturally awake, just a few minutes before my work alarm. (I have a workout alarm an hour earlier than my work alarm). Not sure today's plans but I'll have to figure out how to get some movement/stretching in. I should have a lunch break today to fit in yoga at the very least.

    Congrats @Machias1949 on making it to maintenance! Hooray! I'm 10 pounds away, but that's far away for me. I just stay stuck in the mid-to-upper 140s. I'm working on it though, thanks to these 10-day challenges.

    @Pezhed Congrats on getting your treadmill working. I love my Peloton bike and the various Peloton classes. I've even been doing the outdoor run/walk workouts, which are great (love their playlists and coaching). I will look for the same bike challenge. I'll also try to find you on Peloton. Is your name similar as for MFP?

    Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessary.
    People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
    😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
    JANUARY focus:
    * maintain weight < 140 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
    * Maintain Daily Solid Habits
    I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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

    1/12 221.0 (+0.4/+0.4) Not exactly the right direction but I'll get back on track. Yesterday was nail day, so I got home late and then just found "something" to eat. Lunch wasn't the best either as I found myself googling "what's better McDonald's or Jimmy Johns". Opted for Jimmy's Johns. It's really poor planning on my part. I have two dinners to attend within this round, and then I should be good with celebrations until 2/7/2023.

    1/12 DNW - walked 11.1 miles yesterday.
    1/13 DNW - started with all good intentions of a better choices day which went to put in the evening, we were booked into the steak night, massive juicy delicious steak, half would have been plenty for me, was served with chips which I regretfully ate the lot & then cheesecake which to be honest was quite tasteless, so why did I eat it!! Felt bloated all night 😱😪. Walked 11.7 miles.
    1/14 DNW - made a concerted effort to eat more consciously yesterday, made better choices and left rice in my plate when I was satisfied. Walked 11.86 miles. Last full days holiday today.

    Back after almost a year off, lovely to see familiar names and faces! Belated happy new year to everyone 😀
    Thanks @quiltingjaine for all your hard work to keep this running, hats off to you!

    So self- sabotage got the better of me and here I am nearly 2 stone regained, urgh. My body aches from the extra load and my self esteem is in the pits. I'm not going to let this go on any further, I know exactly how to do it, it's easy really... just log everything, get active and stay accountable.

    1/13 : 165.0 Well here goes... just trying to get back into the habit of logging everything this round and being more active x

    1/14 : 163.4 Ok that's a good start. I had salty Chinese food on Wednesday night and had just got back from a flight so I probably had a lot of water weight. Also just finished totm so hormones are a bit wobbly. Didn't manage to get out for a walk yesterday. We're due rain and snow all next week so I really need to make an effort this weekend to get out. Went to the supermarket and stocked up on the type of food that I was eating last time I was successfully losing weight. I like to include things that come in individual packages like cheese portions, salami, crackers and cereal bars, alongside things that are bulky but low in calories like soups and salads. The packets are usually more expensive and lower in nutrients/ higher in salt etc but they help me to not feel deprived as they are tasty and feel a bit naughty and I am able to easily control my portions. Switched to decaf coffee recently and it's been a revelation, I am so much less anxious and am sleeping so well. I have been drinking alcohol heavily for far too long so cutting that out is going to be very hard but logging will help, as will exercise and seeing progress.
