    #WHEN.WHY.WEIGHT.IS.A.THING

    WOW, the things that come to mind when you read other people’s stories. @Chapter_3 - Carolyn, will we all be billed for these therapy sessions? 😁

    *My reply from yesterday-

    I honestly don’t know the answer to that question. The first time I REMEMBER someone mentioning my size was when my grandfather died. My mom and I were looking for a dress for me to wear to his funeral. The sales lady looked at me and directed us to the “Chubettes” area. I was 9 1/2.

    And today’s addition-
    Around the same time as the aforementioned “Chubettes story we visited former neighbors. The lady who greeted us at the door said, “My Jaine, how you’ve grown.” My brother “replied” under his breath “yeah, both ways.” About a year later we moved and the school nurse had the entire class lined up to be weighed and measured, announcing each to whoever was recording the results. I was mortified. 4’6” 110#

    64-year old female, 5'5"
    Highest Weight: 213
    RND 252: SW-191.3, EW-187.6
    RND 253: SW- 187.6, EW- 185.6
    RND 254: SW- 185.6, EW-181.4
    RND 255: SW-181.4, EW—181.4
    RND 256: SW-181.4, EW--179.4


    SW RND 256—181.4
    4/6 DNW--Out of town—lots of walking and fly fishing, vacation food
    4/7 DNW--Out of town—Hiked to Anna Ruby Falls, vacation food
    4/8 DNW—Out of town—most of the day in the car, back on track with food, though. I expect a gain tomorrow, but it’ll be ok. I’ll work it back down.
    4/9 181.4 WooHoo! Right where I started before vacation. We did try to be careful in our choices and split some entrees, etc, and were very active, so I guess it worked out. Now to keep on track and make a downward move by the end of the round.
    4/10 180.4 Hoping this can continue. I really need to get back to real exercise. Weather has been nasty the last few days, so we are pinned up inside most of the time.
    4/11 179.2 Happy about this. Hope I can stay under 180, but that's not what usually happens. Takes a few days (or longer) to stay under for good. Fingers crossed! Did yoga last night to get back in the groove with exercise. Still so much rain!
    4/12 179.4 Took a walk in the neighborhood last night until the rains soaked us, so I came home and finished with a Leslie Sansone Walk at Home video. Had a salad with salmon on top tonight instead of something that could have been a salt bomb at a favorite restaurant tonight. Hoping not to bounce but I know it’s a very real possibility.
    4/13 179.2 sure am hoping I can stay here or below until the end of the round!
    4/14 178.4 Got in a long walk yesterday afternoon and it felt great! I’m in a pretty good place with food right now. Not very tempted and if I am, I’m content with just a bite. Allowed myself a small serving of frozen yogurt with the kids after I picked them up from school, but worked it into my plan for the day.
    4/15 179.4 Yay!!! Stayed in the decade for the end of the round. See y’all on the other side!

    Day/Weight/Comment
    04/05 …..181.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

    04/06 -181.6- (Trend weight 181.2)

    04/07 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)

    04/08 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)

    04/09 -182.2- (Trend weight 181.7)

    04/10 -181.6- (Trend weight 181.7)

    04/11 -179.6- (Trend weight 181.5)

    04/12 -180.4- (Trend weight 181.4)

    04/13 -181.2- (Trend weight 181.4)

    04/14 -181.0- (Trend weight 181.4) I went out-of-town unexpectedly yesterday to chase down a Facebook purchase. Dinner was out and not so healthy but so far the scale is okay. I may end up going out-of-town again today to pick up a special order door for my bedroom that came in. I babysat overnight and am waiting for my daughter to come pick him up. Gosh, I love my time with my little Prince!

    04/15 -182.4- (Trend weight 181.8) After 2 straight days of travel, a juicy steak from a steakhouse which included an alfredo side and fresh bread and other good things on day 1 of travel too, I would be more shocked if I didn’t see a gain. Lots more medical travel in the coming week. Some quite far. I don’t expect it to be a good week coming up. See you tomorrow in 257.

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

    SW: 219.4 end of round 255
    Dates = Weight ; Comments regarding prior day.
    4/6 219.8
    4/7 219.6
    4/8 219.4
    4/9 220.0
    4/10 220.0 ~The round is half over and I haven't even bellied up to the table!! Yikes...Same goals. Protein good, water is even close to good with me hitting 64 three times a week and 80 at least once! Closing Rings - no problem, even with increasing the goals....But the struggle is very real with calories this round for some reason. I think I may have figured out a portion of my problem.
    My target for calories is 1650. I pre-plan and pre-log to make sure I get my protein in and then work toward my calorie goal. So before the day even starts - I'm very close to goal. Well, what that means is there's NO wiggle room. As soon as I wiggle, I'm over calories.
    I've also been looking at TDEE and BMR and calories in and calories burned, what my fitbit says and what my apple watch says.... and I think I've totally confused myself.
    4/11 219.6
    4/12 219.6
    4/13 218.6 - Happy for this. Good on water, Good (increased ) on exercise. Over or at the top of my range on calories most days. I'll take this as a win!
    4/14 218.6
    4/15 218.6 Finishing up the round...be it a little late!
