Eeek! Those chocolates at night are showing up. The bar is gone so I can go back to a lower calorie diet. I just snacked on a bowl of broccoli so a good sign.
@HappyDonkey75 Sorry to hear your sweet dog has taking a turn for the worse.

11/8: 153.3This week I figured out my TDEE and the 300-400 cal deficit I need for a loss. Sooooo, M-F I stuck with my goals of eating healthier and stayed very close to my calorie limit β¦..I know I need to be more exact, and decided I will weigh and measure portions of all protein this week to review correct sized amounts.

@Michieb125 I need to start measuring and weighing my food again too. Iβve put on about 6lbs since July.
I do about 15 minutes of weight lifting every day as part of my physio for my shoulder and I walk at least 30 minutes most days but I think I really need to get myself back into the gym. Working out reduces my appetite and thatβs where I really need help! I have a hard time feeling full after meals. I have to tell myself I just ate and I canβt be hungry. Iβve been struggling with this.3 -

I hear you both about having to count calories for a stretch of time. The same is true for me, I think I will always need to go through phases where Iβll go back to counting and measuring, to return to being more conscious. Meanwhile the lipedema diagnosis has changed the way I think about food and exercise. Food is now all about anti-inflammatory efforts, and exercise is all about promoting circulation and building strength. Ultimately itβll produce similar outcomes to a weight loss protocol but the mindset has shifted.3 -
I have been eating right out of a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup for breakfast. I find it really helps me connect to how much a serving size really is. My focus is more on nutrition than weight loss (although I would feel better if I was 10lbs lighter!), and I have learned at which line on the cup I can add my healthy fats (nuts and seeds). I also have a food scale and tare the cup before filling. My family does joke about me eating out of the cup, but Iβm fine with that. It helps me to connect to portion sizes. Iβll probably start using it for other meals as well. I find if I have to measure it and put in on my plate, I just stop measuring (and the numbers on the scale rise..)

I have literally lost track of the days. Things have been busy. Some of you are having some nice drops. Calorie deficit and exercise . I have been treating myself to too many chocolates at night after dinner.. The problem is Hershey's nuggets .. I should not buy bags to have in the house but I had a craving for chocolate. I need to find a better sweet tooth option for evening after the dinner.

11/10-147.2Also been taking advantage of the mildish weather for this time of year and getting some unexpected saddle time. I know it won't be long and our footing will be unrideable. My boy is doing really well , we did figure out that he has some trauma to a tendon afterall but no change in how we are managing things.
I have the day off tomorrow . The day won't be dull. I have studying to do and some house cleaning to catch up on.
I have the excercise class again tomorrow night which is good because I didn't get time to get much done today.

@HappyDonkey75 canβt agree more how Hersheys nuggets are delicious! Your schedule seems nicely balance between exercise classes and your duties with your sweet horse. My DIL had a dear boy for many years and he bought the family so much joy.
@MercyRoth great drop into the new decade!

Nothing new to report, feeling great. Appt in NYC next week should give me some info on next steps and a timeline. In the mean time, I started giving the house a room by room deep cleaning as my exercise. 2 1/2 rooms done, 3 1/2 to go. I have the upstairs, hubby will have to handle the family room downstairs on his own LOL.

@michieb125- the horses are my therapy in so many ways, even when itβs work to keep them cared for . Yesterday I pushed 4 very full wheelbarrow fulls of poo through deep mud to get the shed cleaned out since I was behind a couple days and it would have made too much of a mess scraping it with the tractor given the mud. Talk about a core workout! Oooph!!
Tuesday was a full day . I got 2.5 miles in on the treadmill , then the wheelbarrow workout, rode my horse for a half hour in an active riding session (more core workout) and then had to go to that evening excercise class. I was beat and my class was extra challenging.
I am sore sore sore today. ! Good grief..@Kupla71 - you got this! Stay the course now that youβre back on track . I hate those big upswings too. It almost makes me panic at times and I get fearful my weight will start doing the runaway train on an uphill climb after all my hard work to get here. I often dream about walking up and see the scale at 200 lbs again. Clearly I have an anxiety over my weight.

@HappyDonkey75 Thank you for the encouragement and empathy. Yeah, Iβm really struggling. I do well during the day and then when 9pm hits I go almost on a binge. Iβm afraid my weight is going to continue to climb, and it will if I canβt get control over this. I have dreams I am slim! Sometimes I have dreams I am very obese. I too clearly have anxiety about my weight.

11/14-145.8@Kupla71 -I crave sweets afternoon and that is what is getting me (and after dinner). Sometimes if I make a mushroom coffee drink about 2:00pm it helps with that but yesterday I was too busy at work. And more candy found its way to my desk . I won't be buying another bag of those . I have no willpower.
I am usually starting to get tired and thinking about bed 8:30 pm (I am an early riser) so late nights usually aren't an issue for me. The last two nights I have switched to making myself a protein shake before dinner that has the pudding mix in (I use either the chocolate or cheesecake flavor sugar free blend) prior to dinner. It does help with the sweet tooth and gets me another 25-30 g of protein, post workout especially. Last night I didn't feel hungry for dinner after my shake so just had a few nibbles of the roasted yams I made and grilled chicken. I have been very lazy (well I guess just busy) and lacking on dinner planning. I would love to be able to try one of those meal delivery programs like Factor , HelloFresh etc. But I can't justify the cost but planning and cooking dinner lately has been a real drag.
@tishsmith101 - good luck at your NYC appt next week. Will you be able to take some time to enjoy some things while your there? I love your idea of deep cleaning room by room and that you get some help from the hubby. Mine is no housecleaner. He does the kitchen and that is about it. I have been trying to whittle away at my office because that is the room that ends up being the "catch all". I wish I could just have someone come in and organize my whole house for me!
Thought I would drop this here today for those of us trying to make healthy changes. I have been following this guy on youtube for over a year now since I got involved in peptides/biohacking to help support my longevity/health. Ignore the marketing for his "supplement" products .

Nov 14: 168I meant to say I canβt hit the 170 mark. Not the 179 mark!
Today I was down a bit, so steering away from it. I have greatly increased my veggies and protein and have been limiting carbs. This way of eating seems to keep me much more full for much fewer calories. I think this will work. I just need to stick with it.
@HappyDonkey75 I definitely agree that not buying the problem food in the first place is the best way to avoid it.
I generally like cooking but sometimes I really donβt feel like it. When I do feel like it I sometimes make a few different meals so that I have it ready for times when I donβt want to cook.5 -

On Friday I had my first intense workout with a physio. Loved it. She really worked me hard. Itβs such a good mental health thing too. The challenge now will be to find time and motivation to do my own work between sessions. I also started wearing compression leggings. Love how they feel on the legs but hate how they feel on the waist.2
