    Winners never quit and quitters never win – Vince Lombardi

    ROUND 288
    02/20 – 134.0 Morning Swim
    02/21 – 133.3 Trainer – upper body only today
    02/22 - 135.0 OMG – This is last night’s dinner with the in-laws – Morning swim
    02/23 - 132.9 Easy basement yoga

    Good news - I think I caught myself just in time before the weight explosion stuck. Not so good - my back and hip are calling my name this morning. I better take it easy. Even church will be a challenge. I go the Episcopal Church. It's almost a workout. Stand, sit, kneel, bow, repeat. I sing in the choir, at the front, so it'll be hard not to go with the flow.

    @skyleen75 - You're right - It's all but impossible to avoid pizza, especially on caught on the fly like that. Good move to vacate the premises. Good luck with your social eating activities. I, too, have a girls night out tonight that I'm almost dreading. Let's both remember the scale in the morning.

    @Slimmersixties - Stay the course and work the plan. I think sometimes our inner minds and bodies protect us from changing too much. (You've been on a fabulous downward roll.) They sabotage us and scream, that's enough being good. Eat! We're taking over! OK, not so scientific, but that's how I envision it. We just have to show them who's boss. Stick with us We'll help you through this. You just need one good day to turn it around.

    For all those who are NOT Change-Fans (like me) Thought we all could use this heads up to be ready for this major update coming

    I just learned that MFP will be switching to the rich text editor on 3/4/25. No more bbcode!
    I am guardedly optimistic after reading the following discussion that describes the editor's features. Looks like we'll lose underlining and font color, both of which I use often, but I see some improvements that might make it worth it.

    Day, Weight, Comment
    2/20 - 168.0
    2/21 - 167.7
    2/22 - 167.9
    2/23 - 170.0 - We had date night last night. It was more of a late lunch/early dinner since the place we went to didn't open until 3. It's our favorite restaurant that closed a couple years ago and has since built their own building (rather than rent) and reopened the end of January. We've been wanting to go but life has been so hectic, especially with BF's travel. I knew I'd be up today and that's okay. I've gone ahead and set my goal on my MacroFactor app to losing 0.5lb/week and it'll adjust and improve it's guidance week to week. It has me at 1875 calories which is a steep drop off, but it wanted me to drop down to 1675 calories and losing 0.8lb/week. I'd rather ease in if I can. I still need to input my workouts into an app which I'll do once I post this, so I'm prepared for tomorrow morning. Overall, I'm feeling good. Behind on water today but focused on catching up!

    Previous Day's Comments
    2/20 - Wow, I didn't realize I had missed two days of checking in! Yesterday was very hectic with the cold snap that blew in. I worked from the living room with a fire going and didn't bring my personal computer with to check in which is challenging - going from 3 large screens to one tiny laptop. Today, as much as I'd love to have a fire going, I have a dental appointment this afternoon, right after lunch, and I won't dare leave a fire going, or even hot coals, while going 45 minutes away. Despite my alarm jolting me from a very realistic dream and knowing that it is miserably cold and I want nothing more than to just stay in bed cuddled up with the pups, I dragged myself to the gym. It was a good workout overall. One more of Coach's workouts and I'm done! On to my own program next week. I need to put my workout in one of the apps I'm trialing so I can keep track of it since it's currently only written down on a sheet of paper. I also need to plan out one more dinner for next week so I can finish off my grocery list for tomorrow morning. I'm also trying out an app recommended by one of the gym's trainers for macro tracking (called MacroFactor) and it will adjust calories and macros based on inputs. I've synced it so my weight gets automatically tracked and I'm trying different configurations to see if I can get my steps to sync as well. Technology is hard sometimes. Here's to hoping this works!
    2/21 - I don't know if I'm simply dropping bloat/water weight or if my body has caught up and what was a 10% bulk is now a maintenance, if not a slight deficit. This is okay, though, since I was planning to drop into a maintenance on Monday so I could then begin a cut so it feels like I'm simply ahead of the game. Today I've only tracked using my new MacroFactor app to get used to it. I'm well over on carbs already, though I suppose I could adjust my dinner to account for that. I need more fat and protein - a lot more protein. I may give in and make a protein shake since I'm also behind on my water intake and that will knock out two concerns in one solution. Feeling good. I still need to input my new workout plan into an app for next week so I'm not trying to remember everything or losing my paper (and can track weights/reps for future reference). I'll do that this weekend at some point. Likely later since BF is going to have a late night since he's about 4 hours away and has an interview between 3-5 tonight (meaning he won't leave until likely closer to 6 maybe 7 after documenting). I'll probably be in bed before he gets home unless things change. Especially as there's a potential for ice tonight starting after about 5pm between where he is and our house so he'll be having to take things slow and careful.
