Hi! I’m Amanda, 38F in Appalachian Virginia.
My goals for the round are to:
- fast 16+ hours 9/10 days ⏱️
- Work out 7/10 days 💪🏻
- Eat mindfully 10/10 days 🥗 (meaning no standing in the kitchen while snacking)
- Stay within maintenance range (118-122 lb) each day! ⚖️
R217 SW: 121.8
3/13: 121.8 ⏱️ 💪🏻⚖️- today is the last day of an 8 week bike/run challenge I’ve been doing so I’m going to have to come up with a new fitness plan! Excited and nervous for the blank slate since I’ve been continuously fed my workout plans for the past 8 weeks. Glad to be back with the challenge!
3/14: 121.4 ⏱️💪🏻⚖️🥗 - I decided to dial it back on cardio and start a gentle running program called "you can run" through Peloton. It starts with walking/jogging intervals and progresses from there. I think going back to the drawing board is good. Simultaneously starting a beginner strength program where you start where you are and progress from there with basic movements. Just a bit of a refocus. Hoping my birth injuries will not flare up if I start doing strength training again. Yesterday I tracked most of the day and totally gave up by the end of the day. I wish I wouldn't do that! I already blew my eating mindfully goal for the round but will continue to try. Girl Scout cookies are my problem at the moment. My husband left them out on the counter yesterday, and instead of just putting them away I grabbed one and ate it! Why?! That is the kind of mindlessness I am trying to squash.
3/15: 120.2 ⏱️⚖️🥗 - Super late posting today. Work has been so busy, and in the only downtime I had a made a huge purchase of an ebike to haul the kids to and from daycare. Gaahh! I'm nervous spending several thousand on an ebike but I've been in the market for a while and had a lot of trouble making the decision. Biking 70 lbs of kids to and from daycare without an assist would just be too hard in our hilly area though. It will be great to have more integrated exercise in my WFH life!
3/16: 121.0 - PMS is driving me mad. Just had a desk cry over something work-related which only happens when my period is on its way. Might as well just show up now, TOM! This weekend is going to be a whirlwind. We're celebrating my dad's birthday tomorrow night an hour a way, driving on through and staying at my mom's, going to a big pancake breakfast and maple festival, then staying at a friend's condo at a ski resort in WV for a night, and putting the kids in childcare there while we ski! Whew. Finishing the winter out strong. I have very bad DOMS today from my strength training on Tuesday, so I'm not sure what my activity is going to look like. My brain needs me to do something though!

3/13: 158.3kg (349lbs)
3/14: 157.9kg (348.1lbs)
This is my first day joining the challenge! My goal at the moment is to eat regular meals and not binge eat. I've joined Jane Plan, and am adding in a lot of extra calories as with my current weight the calories would be far too low, but they're all the suggested added fruit/veggies/dairy, plus some Huel. Averaging 1600-1700cals a day, and having the regular meals planned out for me is working wonders to avoid binge eating!
3/15 157.0kg (346.1lbs)
I am obese and in the first couple of weeks of a big lifestyle change, so I'm seeing big losses on a day-to-day basis. I'd really like to celebrate this but I have such a damaged relationship with food and weightloss that I'm contantly monitoring myself and telling myself to prepare mentally for the losses to slow down! I'm aiming for 1kg loss a week, but it's taking 2-3 days to lose that at the moment. I'm proud of the consistency I've had with eating my regular meals and snacks and not binging!
3/16 157.0kg (346.1lb)
I'm honestly shocked I didn't see an increase, had a somewhat controlled binge yesterday! Have just immediately put it behind me and focused on making the right decisions today, I'm not letting myself spiral!

@SheilaBoneham I haven't tried almond milk. I don't know why since my husband drinks it and has tried to get me to try it. It may be a mental thing with my severe allergy to peanuts, I've always stayed away from all nuts except for pecans (why, just pecans, I have no idea) I'll have to give the almond milk a try, or maybe soy milk. There are certain times where you just need milk, like yesterday when I wanted mashed potatoes.
Thank you!

Not sure if you're willing, but I've also tried oat milk (not a nut!) if you need to ease it. I bounce around the non-dairy milk types based on what is on sale/cheaper at the time.3 -

GW-140
3/13-168-So glad to be “back on the wagon”; it’s Monday, a new round and the sun is shining! Had another crab feed this weekend and that came with pasta and everything else. Went to a wonderful Japanese restaurant yesterday for a friend’s birthday, super good food but lots of carbs. Board meeting this morning and then a walk in the sunshine and hopefully hop on the horse.
3/14-170-On top of all of the weekend eating, my friend gave us a loaf of her homemade sourdough bread; it’s got sun dried tomatoes and Greek olives. Maybe I’ll slice it up and freeze it, having “one” piece every once in a while. Rain today, yoga this morning and errands. Got my seeds started yesterday.
3/15-167-Lower number because I threw the rest of the bread in the trash and ate fish and fruit. Lots of horrid wind so I just stayed in and tidied up the house and sewed. Our 24yo son is coming for a visit for one night and we are excited.
3/16-DNW-Hand a nice family meal and did a lot of visiting. Made our son food he loves and sent the leftovers all home with him. Sunny day, so got a walk in.7 -

@fmfdfa2020 I can't help but share about my absolutely favorite mashed potatoes recipe when you mentioned adding milk to them.
First, I use only gold potatoes because they are so creamy and buttery, never russets. I generously salt the boiling water.
Second, I drain the potatoes and save the potato water in a coffee mug to add back in little by little as needed while mashing. All the potato starch in the water makes the mashed potatoes thick creamy and really flavorful. No milk needed at all.
Third, mash in your needed amount of kerrygold butter, salt, and pepper.
I've found that adding the potato water back instead of milk lets me cut the butter I use way down and brings out more flavor in the potatoes.
Optional add ins: cream cheese and/or a bulb of roasted garlic (cut the top off of bulb of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and roast in the toaster oven for about 45-60 minutes. once cooled, just squeeze out the garlic and mash away). It's super easy to make the fanciest tasting mashed potatoes as long as you remember to start the garlic early. I use the toaster oven to save on energy costs but you can always do a batch of them and store in the fridge till you're ready to use.4 -

@shmmm3 That is so cool - no milk! Love it! I will try this next time. I only use gold potatoes too. I love garlic mash potatoes. My husband has been growing garlic for years, so plenty of it. I think roasted garlic is the best but I do remember seeing Martha Stewart add garlic cloves to her boiling water with her potatoes, then just squeeze the garlic out. Sounds so easy but I haven't tried it. I've never added cream cheese. I will try adding a little. Thanks! Debra4 -

@CamandJarvis Wow, I definitely don't know much about all the different milk products. I've always drank cow's milk but I never quite felt right afterwards, and an allergy test has now confirmed my allergy. I always wanted to stop it anyway because I don't think it's good for you. I'm allergic to eggs also, but I haven't eaten them in a long time because they make me too sick. I'm pretty much allergic to everything under the sun - it's absolutely nuts (pun intended :) So, oat milk? I have never heard of it. I just asked my husband and he said are you sure they didn't say goat's milk (he was trying to be funny LOL). Anyway, I just googled it and will try it for sure, along with almond milk, soy milk and mashed potatoes with no milk. Thanks everyone!!

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.

Saw this and will be putting one in my fridge, freezer, and pantry. Or, I might keep the days without binge number on it and cross out and update the number daily.

Starting up exercise and losing weight again after a long, forced hiatus, so...this feels like a good way to start things off!
Round 217
daily goals - 30 min of physical activity - 2 cups of herbal tea - outside for 30 min

***************************************
3/11 150.2 (trend 151.9)
3/12 151.6 (trend 151.8)
3/13 151.6 (trend 151.8) Had a poor night's sleep, OH chose to sleep in a different room after not speaking to me all day, he's so stubborn sometimes. Woke at 4am and knew I wasn't going to get back to sleep as I was fretting about an early appointment at the doctors for a cervical screening, yuck. So got up, weighed and made a coffee. Not sure I'm going to make it to the gym today as I'm really tired. My weight is really resisting my efforts, but I refuse to drop below 1200 calories or increase my exercise any further as I will make myself ill. Better just to keep doing what I'm doing, at least I'm lighter than I was at the start of the year and much fitter.
2hrs strength training, 1hr walking yesterday, and I forgot to have dinner, so under calories, oops. Craving carbs today, I need the energy. Round goal weight is set for basically the same weight I was at the start of last round, so should be doable. I am leaving for a week in Portugal on the last day of this round so I want to give this round my 100%... except not today!
3/14 150.6 (trend 151.6) I didn't do any exercise yesterday. I had a busy morning with a Dr appointment, then decided to go and use a sunbed to get a bit of base colour on my skin. Not something I've done for many years, and I've only done 3 or 4 times ever, but I'd forgotten how warm and relaxing it is, even if it is so bad for you! Once in a while can't matter that much, can it?
My weight is down today but I think it's just dehydration as my eyes felt really puffy when I woke up. I went over calories by a few hundred, I just felt like taking it easy. Had my first hot cross bun of the year, soooo good!
I haven't planked for a few days, need to get back on it.
3/15 147.2 (trend 151.0) What the heck? I couldn't believe my eyes, 3.4lbs gone over night! I am late posting today as I couldn't really process the number. I think some will come back tomorrow as I've been very thirsty so think I'm still dehydrated. Hopefully not all of it will come back though...
3/16 150.8 (trend 151.0) As expected, back up again, sigh. Definitely just water weight, but what I don't know is if I'm retaining water or just normally hydrated. I thought about taking water pills but think it's a bad idea, if my body is retaining water then there must be a good reason for it. At this point I can't see myself getting solidly into the 140s ever, gah, never mind the almost 30lbs I want to lose to get to my goal weight of 122.4!
3/17 151.4 (trend 151.0) Argh, so infuriating! Met all my targets yesterday, strength training for 1hr, over 10,000 steps, calories within range, lots of water. Sigh. Well, the positives are I'm progressing well with weights, it was legs day and I made improvements on all my sets. Planking is getting better, I can do 3 x 1 minutes with 90 seconds rest between, before I was spreading it out during the day. I have ordered some resistance bands to take to Portugal next week as I will have a lot of time free because OH will be working so I will be able to keep up with the workouts. I'm determined not to come back with a gain.
My DD's granddad's funeral will be on the 4th April so I'm relieved that I will be back by then. No news from her father though, I think he has cut contact from all his family, he's really taking it badly. He's currently on a boat somewhere in the English channel, I hope he's OK. Not really fair to be worrying everyone at a time such as this.
