Yippee! This puts me back on my trendline and calculated loss line. I hope that means some more steady losses in the next little while, but I know it doesn't usually work that way. Also it has warmed up significantly here so I decided to break out more warm weather clothing. I am wearing a pair of capris that have not fitted me in at least 5 years. Its so nice to wear pants that fit.

~~3/22~~ - 168.9

~~3/23~~ - 169.1

~~3/24~~ - 169.0

3/25 - 169.5

3/26 - 169.6 - I'm not entirely sure. I do feel bloated and crampy. Must be TOM-related. This weather is also horribly crappy. I usually love the rain but for some reason the pressure changes are awful and causing my ears to pop and then I'm feeling super drowsy. My eyes are burning from sleepiness despite getting a full night's sleep. We need the rain, though, and, like I said, I love the rain (and even more, storms!) so I'm hopeful it happens. I'll deal with these ick feelings if I can have a good storm to enjoy. I'll enjoy just rain at this point with all the crazy wildfires going on around here. Dental appointment to fix a broken filling that's showing signs of decay. Hoping she can also fix whatever is causing issues with the tooth she fixed last month. It feels like something's stuck in my gums constantly but no amount of brushing, flossing, or water flossing has gotten me any tiny bit of relief. If not, I guess I'll be making yet another appointment. I'd rather get the decaying one fixed since we put it off last time due the pain in my one tooth. The pain is significantly less and more of an irritation/discomfort but it is more constant so I'd like to see it better sooner rather than later. I've added an afternoon snack to my lunch to help fill me up for longer since I won't get an afternoon snack due to the dental work. Hoping my mouth feels okay enough to eat my dinner as planned.

@quiltingjaine The time with our guests was very nice, which is fortunate given how slow and terrible the service was. At 2.5 hours we were asked if we "still wanted the desserts people had ordered". That gives a feel for how the rest of the service was. But I kept to one of my plans!!!! <3

03/24-195.6- (Trend Weight: 194.6)

03/25-196.2- (Trend Weight: 194.8) Hopefully the part will come in today for the furnace and we can finally get some steady heat. Because we tried coaxing it yesterday, it tried to run and run because of how cold it was and it burned a wire almost in half on the flame sensor. The part that shuts it down is the part we ordered. So it went from bad to worse….. Eating my emotions has done nothing to help and as we all know, it never does. Hoping for an all around better day today. Clothes are tight and I’m feeling a little like a walking piggy.

🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 03/26-195.6- (Trend Weight: 194.8) Part came in for furnace yesterday and it did fix an issue of a part we burned out trying to get this thing to throw some temporary heat in the house. However, it did not fix the main original problem. I ended up doing more googling until I was google-eyed and found out it may be a conflicting wiring issue with the new (Google Nest) thermostat. At my insistence they’ve tried what was recommended and it almost looks like it fixed it. Only a few hours of cycling on & off without manipulation will tell us. So basically, I figured it out myself. Well, me & google. Keeping finger crossed and prayers on lips that it runs in a consistent manner today. Good meals yesterday but bad snacks. Well, actually, good snacks but too many. No exercise except for the running up and down the basement stairs yesterday (and all week) checking, testing and manually stopping and starting the furnace. I need to continue to work on water and more intended exercise and control those snacks! I know what to do. I know where I’m weak in my journey. I just need to act and react!

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 291 143.3 (65 kg)

3/22- 142.7 (64.7 kg) Another overnight whoosh. We shall see what tomorrow brings. I had a lot of sodium today.

3/23- 142.9 (64.8 kg) Today was a rainy/snowy/sleety day. Light lunch, but heavy, high sodium dinner. Random fact I just learned today: there are women specific sleeping bags often with targeted extra insulation zones around the torso and feet. I had no idea. That's brilliant and now I want one.

3/24- 143.7 (65.2 kg) Went to bed past my bedtime, didn't post

3/25- 143.4 (65 kg) It's a low energy day for me, probably due to going to bed later than normal. Strange dreams too. I dreamt the Barney ( yes, the purple dinosaur) characters had a side gig as a metal band. Scratching my head at where that came from.

3/27- 142.6 (64.7 kg) Burger night at our favorite restaurant. I remembered not to eat the whole thing and didn't finish my fries either. My stomach is much happier for it.

@deepwoodslady : Donna, your handiness and tenacity are impressive! I would be totally lost it I couldn't "call the guy"! In some ways I'm pretty good at fixing things, but the furnace?? Your skills are completely amazing! I have no doubt this furnace will fall in line with you in the end, it doesn't have a choice!

My daughter keeps looking at me like I'm crazy to worry about 5 lbs, but all of us here know it's not these 5 lbs- it's the next, and the next after that, and starting to avoid weighing while settling in to my own worst habits; making excuses for the little snacks and then beating up on myself for doing it in a downward mindset spiral and upward scale climb.

It's these patterns that get me in trouble every time, and have done so since I was an overweight little girl hiding bags of Cheetos and Hershey bars in my bedroom. I know that, when I start feeling badly about what I eat, that little girl is still with me and she wants her junk food. Adult me is still trying to figure out what she really wants…

I'm here to change the patterns.

3/21/25 : 227.8 SW a day before.

3/22: 227.4
Good morning at the gym yesterday, otherwise most of the rest of the day was parked in front of the boob tube watching NCAA basketball. TV is a trigger for me to eat a little snick-snack here and there. Kept it to a dull roar although there was some failure.

I have a 50th High School class reunion this September. (I know, some of you weren’t born yet in 1975. Maybe for some of you, your parents weren’t born yet. HA!!!)I want to be at my goal weight before that.

3/23: 227.4
Second verse, same as the first (but without gym.)

We did have a diversion. Friends celebrated their marriage with a little reception yesterday. A happy story. Kayak and fishing theme, hokey but fun. We each got our own little cup of “bait.” Gummy worms and frogs. I just sat there grazing on those worse-than-worthless snacks.

Oh, and we are looking at upgrading our vehicle to a 7 passenger what-cha-ma-call-it. It’s not a van, it’s not an SUV. There are times where it would be nice to get another 2 couples into the car for a dinner (or something) out, or, to pile the kids and grandkids in for an outing. Here is the problem. To get into that third row it’s a combination of mountain climbing, yoga and spelunking. If one of them is wearing a skirt everyone else needs to wear a blindfold. Quite the task for our older friends (and for DW and me.) Maybe we should just punt and buy a Prius.

This bump should have happened yesterday, but we all know about delayed penalties for misbehavior. Yesterday my fitbit/pixel watch says I burned 11 calories. 11!

Seeking no system errors today!

3/25: 227.8
Ate a hair (or an entire mullet) too much yesterday, but rocked the exercise.

And, we bought the what-cha-ma-call-it. Used Subaru Ascent. We will likely be passing the Outback down to the kiddos for the benefit and safety of the grand kiddos. (our real motivation for a new car)

I saw a pickup truck in the showroom yesterday with a sticker price of $114,000! Limited edition. They had just sold it for $125,000. There was a bidding war evidently.

3/26: 227.4
Microscopic changes but trending downward.

Today’s challenge: A couple lunch friends and I will be touring a local frozen pizza plant (small) run by another friend. They have a regional market, not quite national yet. Then it’s pizza for lunch at the plant.

3/27: 228.0
I am right in the middle of a 3-day (3-round) pizza wrestling match, today being DW’s birthday.

Yesterday I was taken down at the pizza factory tour. I was able to offset it because of my morning spinning class where my average heart rate for 45 minutes was 135. I was sucker punched by a piece of (Marie Callendar) cherry pie I baked for DW.
Today is Rotary. Deep dish pizza on the menu. This day has the best chance of success.
Tomorrow will be ridiculous. I have a slim chance of not being pinned. On the last Friday of each month after class, our gym class goes out for lunch at Pizza Ranch of all places. (Pizza, Fried Chicken, Salad Bar) Then, to celebrate DW we are taking the kiddos and my mom to a Chinese buffet for supper. On the bright side I should be able to get out for a good ride or long hike (or both) on a warm windy day.

Once again I am “beset” with first-world problems.

41F, 5’3

RSW - 131.8lbs
RGW - 130.8lbs

Goals -
1. Eat in calorie limits
2. Get active
3. Drink lots of water

3/22 - DNW
3/23 - DNW
3/24 - 131.8 lbs. I am tired of losing same weight over and over. Had long work trip, celebrations at home, spring break and just gave up on balanced lifestyle in between these events. After a month of negligence, I am feeling worse and out of control. I feel heavy to sleep at night with heartburns and generally slow and unmotivated during the day. Time to get back on track and stick to the program.

3/25 - 130.9 lbs. Stuck to planned eating and stopped myself as I started to binge. Keeping initial goals easy until I get comfortable with getting on track.

3/26 - 130.3 lbs. Ate planned meals, stuck to healthy carbs, high protein meals, 10K steps and 10c of water

3/27 - 130 lbs. Ate planned meals, stuck to healthy carbs, high protein meals, 10 K steps, 12c water. Avoided sweets and chips at office and avoided drinking socially after hours.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 291
March 22 – 31, 2025

SW: 134.0

3/22- 132.4 so last round I got into the 133’s for a couple of days, then the tick up. But it was there. My goal this round will simply be to see how many days I can keep some sort of 132. Would like to end the round with a 132.X Yesterday, no walk, but did some elliptical and an hour machines at the gym. I am starting to get more comfortable there. Daily was solidly under, but I was not hungry. I think the caffeinated coffee I had at noon (before the gym) might have been a factor.

3/23- 134.2 Man, what a tease. Yesterday, was pretty perfect. Did my walk. Calories were good. Only other variable is the gym, which was mid-afternoon in the 21st. I just checked in with “Dr. Google” and I found the claim that peak fluid retention is 24-36 hours after the workout. So, maybe I can point my finger that way. I certainly have muscle pain, so we know there are some things going on.

3/24- 132.4 Ok, so two 132.X sightings in one round. Maybe there is hope it will stick around. Yesterday, I did the morning walk (5 miles) then after dinner DH and I went for a lap together (1.6ish miles). Tracking was thorough and target good (slightly higher but good nutrients). Today, skipping the walk and will do a gym day.

3/25- 132.4 Three out of 4. If I don’t do down once more ounce this round, I will be happy. Question is can I keep this. Yesterday, I traded my walk for the gym. Did 11 min elliptical, and an hour on machines. Cut myself short by one exercise due to hitting myself on the face, and then snuck out of the gym bleeding and with a goose egg. And we all say the gym is healthy for us. :P Two times ago, I popped a rib which I am still working through. Today is a walk, then am facing a “fine dining” restaurant that I have never been to, with people we have never dined with. I have looked at the menu and have two plans in place depending on how our guests order food. I am also going to try and reserve calories for the evening. I am not great at that. Then tomorrow is DH’s birthday. Just pizza out with his fishing buddy, but another calorie challenge. At least I know that any leftover pizza go home with our widowed friend.

3/26- 132.4 Well I stuck to my dining out plan. Went to bed fine, but had trouble sleeping I am so hungry……. BUT I did get the 132.4 for 4 out of 5, so maybe this is not just a down blip. The restaurant was a mess. I think that was also a factor of my sleep issues at 2:30 AM I kept thinking of everything I could put in a review. Yesterday was a 5+ walk and today will be the same. OH, today is DH’s 64th birthday, so I am facing pizza tonight. So a second day in a row pushing my calories off to the end of the day.

3/27- 132.2 Made it through two dietarily challenging days. Did closer to 6 miles yesterday. Pre-tracked, and was careful to not overeat during the day.

UGW- 139

Thank you @quiltingjaine 🌸

3/26-DNW-Went to lunch with friends and had a lovely hamburger in a bowl, no bun. We split an order of sweet potato fries 3 ways and was good. We had a couple of extra warm days so not much walking was done, but today s a different story. Bought plants for home and the pots down at the arena.

3/27-DNW-Spent the night with my friend. Walked 6 miles with her. Equine vet today for spring shots then to dr. with friend. Her meds are slowly getting straightened out but still rough. Today I WILL put the plants I bought yesterday.

I see this on your post daily. Today it seemed to leap off the page at me and to be written in my native language which is so clear and obvious. Thanks for sharing this very inspiring truth!
