A girlfriend came for dinner. Heatwave dinner of salad, cheat’s bouillabase and strawberry tart.

Re: Missing a scheduled meal makes me RAVENOUS
One of the things I did was to have some kind of nutrient-dense food I could just fix/eat quickly always on hand. At home, that could be frozen food/meals - either commercial ones or home-prepped; or something like Greek yogurt or peanut butter on a pita, always on hand.
While losing weight, I kept filling nutrient-dense snacks in places like my desk at work, my car, and my purse or backpack, choosing things I like but that weren't so extremely tempting I'd eat them when not needed. For me, things that worked were individual snack packs of things like nuts, dry-roasted edamame, crispy chickpeas, etc.
Depending on where you live and other circumstances, this might not work for you, but I also thought ahead to plan things that worked in my overall eating plan that I could pick up at one of the fast food chains or at a convenience store. I'm vegetarian, so my choices might not work for you, but it was things like a Subway salad or some of the Taco Bell fresco items, or from convenience stores things like hard-boiled eggs, individual Greek yogurt, fruit, etc.
In short: Plan ahead. Assume life will be complicated sometimes, and be ready for that. Even make a list, if necessary, so it doesn't require much thought when you're in a pinch. Home-prep foods can serve most of these roles if necessary for budgetary reasons.

Re: JULY 2025 Monthly Running Challenge
That’s sad news @kgirlhart, I’m glad the run helped.
I had a fast 30mins today while my daughter danced. I wasn’t expecting it to be as fast as it was or as easy so was delighted. I did three 2km loops of the pond near the studio and managed to be successively faster each loop.
I don’t know why my running is going so well at the minute, but I’ll take it 🥳
Re: Back at it, woman. Talking to myself here.
Riverside, you're a mainstay here, and a good'un. Eight pounds is just a blip, as long as it stops around there, as long as those pounds don't bring a bunch of friends. (I've been there, maybe plus a few pounds.)
I know I'm not saying anything you don't know.
You've got this. You're going to go and make yourself an excellent example once again.
Also: Ditto LOL at "crunchy therapy food" 😆🤣. Yep!

Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.2
Goal This Round: 184.2 (10 pounds)
Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx
🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate Goal: 145-155 (I’ll know when I get there!)
Thoughts at the start of this round:
My goal from the very beginning has been to lose one pound per week for a total of 12 pounds per challenge. I have never considered that to be too much and I never thought in a million years I would find it this difficult, even at my age and with my health problems. But it’s proved to be nothing but an uphill climb and in most cases, impossible. I am going to lower my goal to 10 pounds per challenge and see if that will feel more right, more do-able. This breaks down to 0.7 lbs per challenge week. I don’t think that is too much to ask of my mind, my body and my spirit! I, again, thank you for sharing my journey with me and allowing me to travel with you on yours. It is reassuring, refreshing, enlightening and inspiring and I am forever grateful.

Day 66—07/19—187.8 ✅ (Trend Weight: 190.7)
Day 67—07/20—187.8 💠 (Trend Weight: 190.4) I had an excellent day yesterday with low calories and all my carb and macro goals being met. I also did 30 continual minutes of intentional exercise. I was really hoping to see my weight go down a touch more, even just a dribble, but I guess it wasn’t in the stars. However, my trend weight did go down again so I consider that a win and as my body having faith in me. Have a great Sunday everyone!
🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️Day 68—07/21— 186.8 ✅ (Trend Weight – 190.1) Yesterday was filled with bad choices. Truly, the food could have and should have been much healthier. I actually had an Oreo Flurry for dinner instead of food. Went to bed a bit hungry and unsatisfied, especially since I stay up so late. Another pound down which I assume is the pound I was looking for yesterday (and didn’t get) after such a great day. These delays can be mystifying. Tomorrow my DGS that comes every weekend (age 7) is having his tonsils out downstate. There will be several hours each way to get him there and lots of sitting at the hospital. Food will be away from home in local restaurant(s) so I don’t expect the weigh in day after tomorrow to be good. I’ll try to get some pacing steps in at the hospital. My post tomorrow will probably be pretty late. And I just realized that my final post for week 10 will be the morning after the travel. Ugh….We’ll see how I feel about that after the travel is complete. If I don’t trust it, I may delay the weight by a day. It shorts me the time on the following week for success, but will calm my spirits since travel weight is usually temporary in nature. Well, In the meantime, I leave you with this…..Remember, you are special, you are important and you matter!

Re: LESS Alcohol ~ July 2025 ~ One Day at A Time
I was just looking at the spreadsheet. @NonnieDoiron and HYS? and @nbruns83, you're all killing it! Congrats on the hard work!
Still going strong here. I wanted a dry July and I may just get it 🙏 We're taking 2 of our grandsons on a little weekend cruise this Friday. I did not get the drink package. My SO did. I am determined to stick to my eating plan as closely as possible and remain AF! Please pray for me on that front…lol.
I'm not really having many cravings, and when I do, I stop and remember that I don't like the feeling of being tipsy and breathe and let it pass. I'm down ~12 pounds in just over 3 weeks. That's not just because of not drinking. I did make a major change in the way I eat at the same time as dropping the wine, and I've been so busy that I've been undereating too much. I need to work on that.
I feel pretty good. Still struggling with good sleep. I'm getting about 7 hours at night and most nights I sleep straight through, but my Apple watch says I'm only getting about 45 minutes of "deep sleep" per night…sometimes less…which is the restorative sleep. I'm not sure why my body won't go into deep sleep. I take magnesium at night and drink a cup of sleepytime tea most nights. I suppose it will get there eventually.
Y'all take good care today!

@NonnieDoiron oh sister, I feel ya! I think we’ve all had “that” job. The question of “why am I doing this to myself?” Always ends with “because I have bills to pay!” Well, it’s good motivation to clean up the budget and increase savings so you can reduce your time there! Hugs.
