Comments pertain to previous day

SW RND 290 135.0

3/12 135.0 Yesterday did 40 minutes at the gym OMAD - In-n-Out - 4 or 5 small super crisp fries (YUM!) and a Double Double Protein style, no spread, light lettuce and onion. No TMI x 2

3/13 136.0 Yesterday we had 2 guys from the ‘hood put up ceiling fans with lights. My sewing room previously had no light so I’m hoping this will breathe new life into my sewing spirit. In the afternoon I took the batteries for my Vivofit 4 to the jeweler (microscopic screws - worth having him do it) and then got a manicure. I had a headache and skipped the board meeting. Apologies for the longish post - this is my diary.

3/14 135.5 DH and neighbor guy went to Golden Corral for lun-ner. I had a beef patty (Sam’s) and a serving of broccoli with butter. If my dad was still around, this would be his 120th birthday. Hard to believe he’s been gone 32 years.

3/15 135.0 Great Greek today.

3/16 134.5 Getting together with my quilting friends this morning.

3/17 135.0 Mimosas with the ladies yesterday morning.

3/18 135.5 Lots of carbs yesterday-finished the Raisin Bran crumbs and ate four prunes, 3.5 oz steak and asparagus for dinner and protein shake.

3/19 136.0 Delayed hit from mimosas and Raisin Bran Post . Tonight is community bingo. I don’t know what they’re having for “dinner.”

03/18-194.8- (Trend Weight: 193.4) quiltingjaine, Yes I do see now where the increase probably came from. Confusing since sometimes (most times) it’s the very next day. Which leads me to today….. I expected an increase due to the various typical travel reasons but HOLY COW! My son chose Golden Corral for dinner. Every single thing I put in my mouth tasted like the lid fell off the salt shaker. I could only eat a few bites of each thing due to the saltiness but it adds up apparently. Honestly, I think the main problem was that I spent too much time at the dessert bar. Coupled with all the sitting as it was a very long day trip (not home until well after dark), I shouldn’t expect anything less than what I got. Today will need to be a banner day. Prayers and excitement for our Astronauts returning home this evening! Let’s hope for an uncomplicated re-entry and splash landing!

🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 03/19-195.0- (Trend Weight: 193.5) I just couldn’t get enough food yesterday. Usually it’s self-sabotage but not this time. It really was INCREDIBLE hunger. I hope to figure that out so I won’t go through that again today.

Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided to start back up the day before Round 278 started.

SW Rnd 290: 144 (65.3 kg)

3/12- 144.1 (65.4 kg)

3/13- 144.7 (65.6 kg)

3/14- 144.2 (65.4 kg)

3/15- 142.6 (64.7 kg) I've used being tired and feeling worn down as an excuse to slip on my tracking (not tracking as I go) as well as missing the first three days of this round. I had two parties I attended today and went about 1050 calories over goal and about 650 over maintenance once I totalled everything up. I need to turn this ship around. Taking a few quiet minutes to post and read everyone else's posts is important. I think I do better when I'm part of a community of people supporting each other, all with their own successes, struggles, strategies and goals. Thank you all for being that community.

3/16- 144 (65.3 kg) 8 hours of shopping for a cheap dress for mom prom with a friend. I found a $9 dress, but man am I worn out. Haven't shopped like that in years.

3/17- 145.6 (66 kg) Delayed reaction to my overeating earlier this week? That's okay. Today was right on track. Onwards!

3/18- 145.2 (65.9 kg) A slow descent. We're having a team lunch tomorrow so I'm already planning on soup for dinner since it can be filling and low calorie.

3/19- 145.1 (65.8 kg) Yummy potato soup for dinner. I'm very sad that our Costco has quit carrying it for the season. I missed my opportunity to grab more. I also got new glasses yesterday after work and even though it was a slight prescription adjustment, it's been enough of a change to make the ground tilt slightly and give me headaches and minor nausea. Luckily 28 hours later, the worst seems to be over.

musicsax · March 20

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, a brisk 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 Palatino Hill.

3/14 DNW - a very leisurely 14.56 miles walked yesterday, taking in The Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Victor Emmanuel monument, S. Pietro in Vincoli, Piazza Navona, Santa Maria Maggiore, Circus Maximus, a stroll along the river and the last gaze at the Colosseum. An amazing last day. No gelato; it was not warm enough! But luckily it stayed dry 😁.

3/15 140.4 - (trend 141) wow! never returned from a holiday with a loss ever before!! Now to keep it.

3/16 139.8 – (trend 140.9) thrilled at that! Hoping yesterdays was not a false low, but amazed to go down again, gives me a real buzz!! 7.31 miles walked.

3/17 139.2 – (trend 140.6) 5.08 miles walked or should I say some was jogged next to little DGSs riding their bikes.

3/18 140 – (trend 140.6) guessing just a normal fluctuation as have stuck to CICO since my return from Rome. 8.82 miles walked.

3/19 140.4 – (trend 140.6) 8.55 miles walked.

3/20 142.4 – (trend 140.8) no structured walking, childminding youngest little DGD. Disappointed with myself, wasted the success I had on holiday, therefore a gain of 0.4. A new round I’ll just start again ☹.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE

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.

3/13: 228.8
Cautiously optimistic. I was better about choosing fruit and veggies yesterday.

I just saw the email preview of today’s Rotary menu. Chicken Alfredo and bread sticks. Give me a break! Right now I am pre-logging the lettuce salad ONLY with no pasta and no dessert.

3/14: 229.4
I avoided the Alfredo at Rotary! And they had steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Had a couple snaccidents at home, but no biggies. The weather is so fantastic I took a 16+ mile bike ride. I am surprised how good the workout is on an eBike. No matter how much help I get, I can still push it til it hurts. Wind and hills still make a difference. I make a big sail in the wind. HA!

Today’s challenge will be supper tonight. DW’s cousin coming for the weekend, not so much to see us but to have a place to stay while visiting her dad in the nursing home. (their farmstead is sold.) She is “repaying” us by taking us out for dinner tonight. Must. Avoid. The. French. Fries!

3/15: 230.4
Even though this is a bump up, I consider yesterday a victory overall. I rode 20+ miles on bike and took a bit of a strenuous hike later with DS and DGS in the woods. (we were kind lost for a while…exciting) The gain was because of eating. DS brought a between-meal snack to the hike and the restaurant last night had a special. Smoked Corned Beef and Cabbage. Had to try it.

3/16: 228.6
I need to kiss the “3” goodbye as my 2nd number. It is too depressing to see it popping up all the time. I am sure it will rear its ugly head for a while, but I am aiming for the “3” becoming a “1.” (then a zero, if I may be so bold?)

3/17: 227.8
Church all morning + funeral all afternoon = no real movement. So, I am happy for the drop. Probably getting benefits from all the moving I did last week with the warm weather.

NSV, I am starting to chip away at some mid section flab. DW says my face is showing signs of progress too. I will use this to motivate me to greater things.

3/18: 228.8
I am not unhappy with this due to yesterday's logs. If I don’t strap it down today it could get away from me.

3/19: 228.0
Good day yesterday. +17 miles on the bike and I ate reasonably. Going to be wet today. Loved watching the astronaut splashdown yesterday, on the predicted minute! This is the only time when perfectionism is a good thing.

3/20: 227.8
What a bad day for exercise. And food was a tad over. That’s why I like the number this morning.

Tornado warnings yesterday, We had to turn around from our trip to Dr. for DW to try to get to the bottom of her laryngitis. Rescheduled for next week.

I sat like a zombie (upstairs) watching the local weather people parse the red and green colors on the screen as the storms rolled through. “looks like we have some rotation right here,” and “I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Tornado Warning issued there.” DW was at here post downstairs. She is very obedient to the weatherman. I have to be on the lookout like every other guy in the neighborhood.

Snow on the ground this morning. Thus continues the frustrating weather in Illinois.

3/16 132.0 this morning. Not bad considering I haven’t moved for almost a month. The scale does not reflect how sluggish I feel. Keeping a routine is vitally important to mind, body, soul and I re-commit 100% to getting back to all that nourishes me. Benefits far outweigh the alternative. Today = 🚶‍♀️10K & 💓Z2 60 min.

3/17 131.6 mind, body, soul - moving in right direction I compare the last 5-6 weeks to “exams“ window while many of us were in college… The world stops (it did for me)… Strange, strange sleep, eating patterns strange everything.The fight is not over yet. We’re working on one more appeal, but I am focused on making sure I take care of myself each day. I’ve made some nice friends during this process and strengthened several- a great thing! I was able to make macro /🥩goal as well as 10k 🚶‍♀️💦 yesterday. I’m looking forward to another balanced, ENGAGED day. NSV: I was able to track my food each day! I guess the major reason why I didn’t fall off the rails… Nutrition was always on my mind. And I’m now tracking my daily habits again. It’s good to be back. BTW: I have not figured out this new formatting situation and not sure how I will “present” my journey… I need more time to do that.🏋️‍♀️still on back burner (the most important) but to implement this week. Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone!🍀🍀🍀

3/18 Posting late today - I was in a rush leaving the house. Yesterday was a solid day and so was today!

🙆‍♀️🚶‍♀️💓🎾🏆still 🚫🏋️‍♀️. promising ME to get that done this week for sure and then to restart that habit.

3/19 not enough 🥩, 1425 cals. 🎾 2 hrs. Slept well. Getting back in groove.

Filed appeal yesterday. Hearing isn’t until May 20 so we have a breather. I’ve learned TO MUCH about city politics / backdoor deals. On one hand, we knew this going in, but on the other, this is our town we’re trying to save, we have to do everything possible. Quite proud of the work we’ve done.

Food, Health? I completely blew off almost everything that I thought had become a “healthy habit” during this time. I was a walking zombie. While I didn’t over- indulge, I ate foods that did not agree with me (no planning) and I felt “off” the entire time. Let me walk that back… Not that long ago, I would’ve had a cocktail every now and then and certainly weekends, after working hard, etc. but not at all this past month… didn’t even think about it! Now that is a great NSV! The difference between how I felt 2/5-3/14 vs my routine: eating whole food/ walking/exercising/ 🙏quiet time / journaling/ … There’s just no comparison. I was in willful disobedience - I felt incapable of shifting gears and even giving one hour to myself. I’m hoping I can learn from this. It felt like I was in “exams” … Crunch time, do or die, some sort of sprint that everything else you just forget about. Self- created stress. This was quite a familiar zone that I was always in throughout my career… When you’re in it, you don’t realize what you’re doing. You’re just focused on the goal. The deadline.

Would, I do it over again? Yes. But I wish I would’ve had a buddy that would’ve grabbed me & said, “STOP, Lets go for a walk. …” STOP, plan your meals…. DH was very supportive of the work that I had to get done… But didn’t “catch” that I wasn’t taking care of myself. He was used to this mode as well… Anyway…

I share this story because I was in some sort of an addiction… I told myself I couldn’t shift gears… Perhaps someone out there struggling with same. But I really wasn’t helpless at all… I simply fell back to default mode - what was comfortable instead of consciously deploying what I had learned. I’m never far away from old habits.

I scheduled a 90 minute massage today after 🎾 and I’m looking forward to a long walk as well. ✅Food logged and planned.

3/20 Solid day. Grocery today. Let’s see what looks good 🍀😎

I’m #ENGAGED again!

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 290
March 12 – 21, 2025

SW: 135.6

3/12 – 135.6 Well I did not finish round 289 with the number that I wanted, though I saw it for two days prior. Then I did my mini binge (worthy ½ lb max) with lots of salt. Was hoping to come down quickly yesterday, but last night was out to eat. Calories (according to my tracking) were excellent. I am hoping/thinking I am still fighting with sodium. Today’s new variable will be that I am back to the gym and next session with the trainer. Was unable to find any of that “me” time during our family time together, but totally worth the trade off. My hope for this round is to clear the sodium, keep calories on track, be consistent with exercise, and I am hoping to not only get back to the 134.6, but to pass it and MAYBE see a “3” instead of that “4”. Let’s see.

3/13 – 135.0 Five mile walk, and hour with personal trainer. I discussed with her how I think I am jumping in too quickly and risking injury, based on all the pains I am having. At the end, we shortened our time to do stretching. Wow! We discovered I have some real tightness issues. Interestingly, when I got home, some of those pains were gone. The stretching is key. Feeling some aches return this morning, so I likely should try some stretching today.

3/14 – 134.6 Yay! Back to my number from the 10th and 11th. Now to continue. I was good with diary yesterday, but chose to skip my morning walk (still have not gotten condo back together since guests) and was not a gym day. Today, I hope/plan to accomplish both. Hubby has been taken kite fishing for sailfish today, THEN we are heading to hear a band in the evening. Probably means I am facing a cocktail (will stick to my gin and tonic, or a white wine), and food (likely stick with my seared tuna tataki safety net). Need to keep this in mind for the first part of the day.

3/15 – 134.4 Made it through the day yesterday! Walk got altered and ended up only 4 miles, but it was a fun walk. Got home and was to go to the gym, but decided to deal with cancelation of utilities on my mother’s property that is being sold on Tuesday. Glad I did as it was more time consuming than I expected and really had to happen before the weekend. I pretracked my evening, and used my calories accordingly during the day. IN the evening, my gin and tonic became an on-the-rocks margarita, which I only drank half due to its size. I had my tuna. Appetizers somehow got ordered for the table. I ate two shrimp and one cheese curd to be social. Seems to have worked out! Today has the potential for being normal!

3/16 – 134.2 A bit of a gift. I got somewhat off track last evening after dinner, and I anticipated a .2 or .4 up. But I did accumulate more steps than usual (according to my apple devices), so maybe it was an even trade. Skipping my morning walk today in order to free up equivalent time to get to the gym. Doing both costs me about 3.5 hours that day, and that is not working out.

3/17 – 134.2 skipped the walk but did the gym, 10 min warm up on the threadmill followed by an hour with equipment. Diet was good but slightly over.

3/18 – 134.0 I survived St. Patrick’s day. Corned beef, cabbage and potatoes!

3/19 – 133.4 Not sure it this will manage to get posted on the right day. Internet and cable are down due to the fires at the top of the Florida keys. Yesterday, I skipped the walk, but had a session with the trainer. Watched my tracking. Little higher than I target (like 1600 cal), but I was solidly hungry. It was not a craving. Last two days are going to be tricky. Today is the second of our bi-weekly 2 hour cocktails and food by the pool. I should be able to handle it ok. Then tomorrow night (perfect timing right), we have a 5 course wine dinner than we signed up for back in January. Why does it have to be the last night of the round? Argh!!

3/20 – 133.4 Made it through the cocktail hour event. Did not eat perfectly, and stopped tracking and was certainly somewhat over my target calories. Yesterday was just 5 mile walk (3 laps). Today will be just 2 laps and hope to do some at-home exercises (an idea to play around with). Tomorrow will be the gym again. Oh, did I tell you at my last gym day, something popped in my right side ribs. So I am sorting that out. The related pain limited which exercises were possible for the remainder of the session. Tonight is supposed to be the 5 course wine dinner. :'(

I remember the feeling, and I think I was calloused at the time because of so many projects going on at the same time, all with different deadlines in different phases. Got my adrenaline rush from "the work." I sought comfort by eating. No time for exercise. No thought about my health.

Now retired and the callouses are soft. Smaller "projects" give me stress now. HA! I still go the pantry for stress relief. I wonder if I could develop exercise and activity into my go-to stress relief? I am experiencing that to a small degree right now. It may not take too much effort to reach the tipping point.

Rambling stream of consciousness over. I did a little writing but did a lot of thinking.

Gym: did an arm workout at my desk this morning bc I’ve been skipping upper body

Wins: down 2.4 this round. Don’t think that was legitimate weight. I think I ended last round with some extra water weight / bloating, but I will still take it!

Challenges: recently reduced macros. Not giving in to mid work day binge cravings.

What a frusturating way to end this round. Have been super good all week with calories but seem to be trending up regardless. Hoping this chalks up to hormones and not indicative of a calorie counting error on my part, ugh.

3/20: yeah, I am decidedly in need of a "reboot". I've had major back and hip pain the last week which has been a big lesson in humility with working out. I've been lax in logging, and find myself "fighting" the plan instead of embracing it. I can say it's all sorts of things, but mostly it's just that I was tired of "being good" and bored with the plan. I'm still here and still weighing every day, but find myself weighing at different times of day to see if I can "trick" the scale. I'm back to my old habit of being absolutely great all day and then "adding on" to dinner with extra calories/snacks.

So. I'm going to count this round's NSV as: I'm still here and still weighing. I'll end strong and start the next even stronger.

The past two days I’ve been up a fraction of a pound. In the past, that may have discouraged me, but because I am recording everything I eat, I know for sure that I am in a calorie deficit so it can only be a fluctuation in water. I am pleased with 2.9 loss for the 10 day challenge.

Realistically I know that my March BHAG of being under 170 again is out of reach. But I can be under 175! That’s progress.
