This is my posting format….

Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. / Comment

3/11/25 : 229.8 SW a day before.

3/12: 229.4
Dropped some weight even with some little failures along the way yesterday. I do remember specifically making some wise decisions when faced with a dilemma. What was the dilemma? (A.) Do I want to do that because I LOVE it and it would make me feel good right now from head to toe? Or (B.) Do I say no to it so I will feel better later from head to toe in a much better way?

Just think what I (we) could do with FULL discipline for delayed gratification. It’s hard.

3/12 I have been absent obviously… We lost the appeal last night and I have to let it go for now… We have seven days to file an injunction. Decisions.

This round will be JGM9D! I’m expecting a small gain … from not preparing my nutrition and winging it every day. I think I kept my calories in line, but I ate crap. I also did not focus on my steps, but I averaged between 6 to 7000 which isn’t too too bad. I’m taking a day off from life today and I might go for a walk later. I also have a horrible sinus infection to top it off. I have journaling to do - to figure out why I spent four weeks of my life obsessed with this effort and ignoring my health.

These four weeks gave me tremendous respect for everyone that balances life, family, work, hobbies, self… My plate is relatively empty compared to so many others. Kudos to all of you that can make it all work!

Good luck this round and I will see you tomorrow. I will prioritize catching up with JGMTD and once again, making it a priority!

Round 290 (my first round)

March 12 - 21, 2025

SW RND 290: 159

Goals: just starting out with all of this, so rather than a goal weight, my goal is to log all food/exercise for the duration of the round in my diary, and to log weights/small notes here daily. Building habits 💫

3/12 - 158.6
🌞it's a beautiful day, planning a long walk after work; focusing on the mentals: being excited about the walk itself vs. thinking of it as "exercise for weight loss"

Day/Weight/Comment

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 194.6

03/12-193.6- (Trend Weight): 195.9- 🍀🍀🍀 I made an amateur mistake yesterday. Due to a few hours of obligations & errands I did not eat my first meal, lunch, until 5:00 p.m. Dinner is usually around 7:30 or 8:00 but I wasn’t yet hungry. So I thought, “Wow, I can probably just skip dinner then and maybe have a better scale reading tomorrow. I had pre-logged in the morning so when I got hungry around 10:30 or 11:00 I went straight to my snacks because that is usually when I eat them. (I stay up very late). I ended up overeating snacks going above & beyond what I had pre-logged because I was starving by then. Why, oh why did I not just eat my dinner instead even though it was later than normal? Am I not adaptable to changed situations? Or am I THAT addicted to my snack foods which serve as treats to me? The dinner food would have been more fulfilling and healthier! In retrospect, I think I should have grabbed a snack in the afternoon while running (almonds or such) and skipped it last night choosing my dinner instead. I’m glad to see a 1 lb drop today on the scale, but this is NOT the way to do it. I must admit, all those snacks were not within plan or healthy. I remained under calories due to missing the meal but I’m sure the carbs were WAY over. Lesson learned. Good luck this round. Thanks for being here and for sharing your personal challenges, fails and triumphs.

Rome! How wonderful. Have a great time.

CamandJarvis · March 12

~~3/12~~ - 167.6 - Dropped off a bit more of the weekend and that may be the last of it. I've been doing really well this week with macros with the help of some volume eating that has left room for snacks. Having the ability to have a balanced snack when I'm feeling peckish rather than trying to wait until my next meal and losing control (and thus binging) has been a game-changer. I'm hoping I can upkeep this through travel, though I don't dare put too much hope into it given the lack of choices I'll have and eating something outside my goals is better than starving.

quiltingjaine · March 12

@musicsax WOW! You were busy! What a wonderful holiday!! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

quiltingjaine · March 12

@UTMom81 I agree about the carbs! Between the salt and 5 fries - golden all the way through - I would not have been surprised by a little bump up. However, as I have said before, it may take a day or two to show up.

Been on a rollercoaster for the last 3 years, coasting from crisis to crisis. Funny being finally told I am being laid off 2 days ago, actually reduced my stress. Have an interview tomorrow and being paid until mid April, so I am blessed. I have though rationalized eating chocolates at work and cookies because of the situation. I need to get over it and move on and be prepared to put my best person forward interviewing and hopefully getting a better job.

SW: 123.4#

Goals this round:

* Track what I eat

*Weigh daily

3/12 – 123.4 -Well did not eat well last night- Girls night out, so 2 glasses of wine- trying to not drink on weekdays (Fail) and slider hamburger. Lucky I woke up weighing less than the day before. Did come home at 8:30 and worked out, did LM Body Pump. Sprout of that.

Starting this round on a mini break in Rome, Thanks @quiltingjaine for keeping us going.

SW 289 141.8

3/12 DNW - a hectic 1st full day in Rome, it really to walk across to Vatican City, a tour of St. Peter's Basilica including a climb up 550 steps to the top of the dome. In the afternoon we visited the Cistern Chapel & Vatican museums. A mind blowing day with the grandeur & amazing paintings. A tiring but satisfying 15.5 miles, 36.5K steps.

3/13 DNW - 9.76 miles walked, a less hectic day, the Colosseum in the morning followed by a rainy afternoon on & around Palatine Hill.

@_JeffreyD_ My dilemma is that I often fall for option C- the things that give me the “meh” feeling in the moment and then regret afterwards.
