    I will continue to follow and document knowing I am not making or coming close to the challenge due to my currentvphysical limitations. It will at least keep me accountable. Very disgusted though. If today were my weight in I would be up 2#.😡

    Exercised?: Yes (4km to office - with suitcase)
    Calories?: Yes
    Tracked?: Yes


    Walked to office towing suitcase. This was to be the main exercise for the day.

    Busy day, then start long flight home.


    October 12
    Exercised?: Yes (20 mins walking in terminal in transit in Dubai)
    Calories?: Yes
    Tracked?: Yes

    Needed the stretch the legs, so did quite a bit of walking in the Dubai terminal. (few laps of the lounge that runs the length of terminal A).

    Worked on the plane during flights.

    Landed 11:05pm in home city. Home after midnight.

    Booked for return flight on Monday. (Yes I need to fly 24 hours back after the weekend).


    October 13
    Exercised?: Yes (Drone track pack up and flying)
    Calories?: Yes
    Tracked?: Yes


    Tired, but glad to get out flying and have a break from work. Also get washing done and spend time with family. NEEDED the time home.

    Lunch with good friend tomorrow.

    Late night.


    October 14
    Exercised?: Yes (3km walk in forest + Drone track setup)
    Calories?: Yes
    Tracked?: Yes


    Lunch with good friends. Difficult to make time with both families having busy schedules. Reason for having to fly back as will not see the friends again before Christmas (and it's only mid-October).

    In morning, before lunch, set up a drone track for local club. Lots of walking in setting up and organising others. Only got to fly for about 5 minutes myself as had to be home in time to help with lunch preparations before friends arrived.

    Great afternoon. Good to catch up.

    Pack for flight back to Spain 6:00am next morning (leave home at 3:00am).


    Still managing to keep tracking and get exercise. Remains both a habit and priority.

    @LeslckaBod I had an amazing week last week with starting my weight training, hiked every other day, and tracked my calories religiously. Have I lost a pound?....no. I'm doing everything I did while I was losing weight before...EVERYTHING! Frustrating, yes. But I'll stay the course and will see results. Maybe after my husband gets his prognosis and treatment plan for his heart and breathing issues today, the stress will ease up. (I pretend I'm not stressed, but I know better).

    Do you track your measurements? I'm sure you'll see good results there in the next few weeks. Also, starting weight training always adds about 2 pounds of water weight for me. Keep up the good work! I hope things get easier for you & your husband after having the plan in place.

    October Week 3 Weigh-In
    Previous: 158.8
    Current: 156.6

    Aaaand in this week's edition of "what's wrong with my body?" I've come down with excruciatingly painful tonsil ulcers from the mono. This is my third week away from work, and I'm a TEACHER. This is not good.

    On the plus side, I now get to eat milkshakes bc it's hard to eat anything else, and I'm actively attempting to hit 1000 calories every day. I legit don't think I've had a milkshake since last year. Down side is I don't like them as much as I used to. I do force myself to scarf down some protein real food when my throat is at its numbest.

    I'm at the wild-eyed level of being over being sick. Like...I kinda want to rip out my tonsils and do a victory lap.

    No I don't measure any more. My clothes which are all new from my original 60 pound loss tell the story. I have noticed a common thread with the people in this group, we all get overcome by our emotions which sabotages our plans. Today for me I was either pacing or eating, waiting for news. And now that we have the prognosis, open heart surgery, I can focus on what needs to be done, both for my husband and myself.

    Weighin day is tomorrow and I'm afraid my scale will be up more. I've now committed to not eat the following lurking in the house.. Lollies, icecream, party pies. I will instead have one thing at church bible study on Sunday instead or a teaspoon of icecream, and indulge in special fruits like blueberries and rockmelon instead.

    @12Sarah2015 It sounds like you've got a plan for getting on track, too! For sweet treats, I sometimes have Harney's Herbal Hot Cinnamon Spice tea. I loved red hot candies/ atomic fireballs as a kid, and this tea has that strong cinnamon flavor. It feels like a treat, and the sweetness apparently comes entirely from the cinnamon, because there's no sweetener added. They also have a black tea version of this with caffeine.

    @Rocknut53 I'm sorry to hear about your husband's prognosis. How soon will it happen?

    Keep taking care of yourself.

    Week 3
    Weigh In Day: Wednesday
    Previous Weight: 144.9 pounds
    Today's Weight: 144.3 pounds

    Happy to be down 0.6 pounds but still re-losing weight I gained back.
    Still need to lose 0.2 pounds to get back to my September 26th weight.

    I am weighing in a day early as I will be with my Dad today and tomorrow as he has to have a cardiac angiogram done today.

    If you are someone who prays, please pray that all will go smoothly for my dad's cardiac angiogram today and that they don't find a serious problem. Please pray that they find something small and simple that can be fixed by diet or medication. Please pray that he will be taken in on time and that there will be no delays. We were told we could be at the hospital for 8 hours. Please pray that he will recovery quickly and have no complications. Please also pray for God to heal my endometriosis as it was terrible yesterday and again today and I will be out from morning to evening which makes it much harder to deal with.
