2 January, 2020 - Diet Diary - Damn! This year had better be an improvement over last year but I'm not optimistic. That is not related to diet, though, just the fact that we are damned close to burning the whole place down and I was hoping I might quietly and naturally depart this world before we blow the fucking thing up. Really thinking about that escape plan, wee cabin in the back woods if the lighthouse position doesn't work out.

So, I did make it to 2020 although it was hauling with me 11 pounds that I had lost last year. Now, I have to lose them again and that is NEVER as easy as finding them. Started tracking weight and food intake again today, after a very sketchy December. I did weigh regularly throughout but did not record it consistently and food tracking typically fell apart late in the day and plenty of snacking went on in the evening.

Intake today was under 1100 calories with mild exercise (senior center class) and pretty good adherence to intermittent fasting, eating between noon and 8 PM. Will need to polish the program a little, had peanuts after 8PM, need to stop that. Do allow myself a late evening hot beverage, usually decaf coffee, sometimes tea. I do use a Tbsp of coffee creamer in the coffee, no sugar. The IF will help a lot if I stay within the timelines.

I WILL be showing up regularly again, now that the not most wonderful time of year is passed.
I have a goal to hit by February 6 as that is my appointment day for follow up with my doctor and I don't want to go see her with the 11 returned pounds. Settled on a goal of 144 by that day, so will need to take off 7 pounds in 5 weeks. Be seein' ya'll around. Let's kick some ass (off) this year! 🥳

@DotLewis 11 pounds in one year is a good achievement. Slow and steady is so much smarter and healthier. Kudos for the slow, downward trend!

Reading your experiences has been a motivator for me....and I've only lost a few since the summer when I started posting daily weight on a chart in the B.R.' So thanks for the inspiration..continued success, health and longevity to you!

Posted by OldMetalHeadI hit a new weight milestone this week. Still trying for the six-pack.

Posted by OldMetalHeadThe hardest part for me is not falling back into old bad habits after meeting goals.

Posted by JonnaBononnaI had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago.

Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
