    Fish Chowder
    Oh yes. I'm making this or rather doing a make over of this or some other fish chowder recipe. Not this week. Maybe Sunday or next week. I saw a tomato based broth fish chowder on another website that looks tasty. Salivating. Lol

    11/27~ 178 (Somehow I dropped 6lbs in two weeks. No idea how that happened!)

    )
    12/11~ 172.8 (HECK YEAH BOIS)
    12/18~ 170.6 (Only mad because I weighed in .4lbs lower the last two days, but also I have the world's most obnoxious cold right now so maybe that's part of it I DUNNO)
    12/26~ 169.0 (A day late and SO WORTH IT. Had a great Christmas and I'm pretty happy with today's weigh in!)
    January 2, 2019~ 169.0 (A day late again. I also forgot to post this, and now I'm actually up .4 from this. 2019 starting out rough.)

    My name is Jenn I have 5 kids (1st one just left for college this year and another one that will be leaving next year). I am 39 and married to an amazing man. I work full time and have very little time to work out. Hopefully once the younger kids 10 and 13 get a little older, I will have more time. Right now I focus on eating right and maybe two to three times a week getting 45 minutes or so of cardio.

    Beginning Weight ~ 175-178
    Challenge Starting Weight ~ 155.3
    Challenge Goal Weight ~ 135
    My weigh in days will be Friday (these are usually my lowest weights, lol)


    November 20, 2018 ~ 155.3
    11/23 ~ 157.8 day after Thanksgiving uugggh
    11/30 ~ 153.8 that looks better
    December 7 ~ 152.3 I thought this week I would have been lower. Did really well. Not a drop of alcohol, clean eating, lots of water, and everything. I just don't think my body can lose 2 pounds a week no matter what. I am getting closer to my goal weight, so maybe that's why to. I am proud that I stuck to my plan this week and am down 1.5 pounds, so I'll take it!
    12/14 ~ 151.1 Going in the right direction for sure. Hopefully we can keep this pattern going!
    12/21 152.8 And I am back up again,lol. I'm holding on for dear life for December. I am still down 1 pound this month and that maybe all I get.
    12/28 ~152.3 Going back down. Had a lot to lose after Christmas though. One more holiday weekend and we are back on track. Happy New Year everyone!
    January 4, 2019 ~ 153.3 Holidays are over and my time off from work is done. So at least I maintained within a couple of pounds, but it is now time to get in the 140's. I have 5 weeks till vacation and that same weekend my second oldest turns 18. So my goal is 145!
    1/11 ~ 150.9 Been here for 3 days. Was hoping it would finally drop lower for today's weigh-in, but maybe next week I can post a better one.

    OSW: 4/19: 212.6
    CSW 12/28: 174.6
    CGW #1: 1/7/19: 170* I made this goal months ago and although it appears I might be a bit late to achieve it, I want to keep the goal as planned for accountability
    CGW #2: 3/22/19: 160
    UGW: 4/19/19: 150* same as above note

    12/28 - 174.6 - holiday gain is coming down a bit
    1/4 - 176.4 - Aaaaaand holiday gain is back. That's okay, finding my balance yet again!
    1/11 - 174.0 - Hooray! Really committed to it again this week. Did a "no spend" and was successful! It really helped keep me on track.

    Watching some of the links and pulling out my skin brush I bought about a year ago and used faithfully for about a week. I know this is important stuff though, so I'm back at it. I'm enjoying the lymphatic massage videos and will try that this week also as time allows.

    @deepwoodslady, I watched the video in entirety last night. Very informative and Mr. Cinti does an excellent job of explaining/teaching the functions of the lymphatic system.

    I love skin brushing, but I'm never consistent with it. Last time I used mine was in December for about a week.

    Tish, I usually buy the curly parsley, but it looked old and wilted, so I bought a different bunch called Italian Parsley which looks like a more traditional straight leaf. Does it matter which type for the Tea?
  • tiabirdie56
    tiabirdie56 Posts: 4,097 Member
    @deepwoodslady, It doesn't matter Donna. I used italian parsley and cilantro this past summer, because I was growing it. Now I just use cilantro because, yeah, the parsley is looking pretty sad.

    November 20, 2018 ~ 178.6
    11/27 – 180.4 And a Happy Thanksgiving it was. But not such a healthy one. I celebrated all week and held or attended more than one dinner. Now, it’s back to the business of a newer and better version of me!

    December 4 178.6 Exactly back to where I started which is a good thing. Now, to get this ball rolling!
    12/11 180.4 Disappointed in my weight. Weighed very early due to long trip to University Hospital I am going to today. I will be gone 2 days. More restaurants and long car drives. I’m going to do my very best.
    12/18 180.4 No change which I suppose is good during this month of festivities, out of town trips and food temptations. Lets remember to enjoy and appreciate the season, not just work, work, work. I am going to try to keep eating clean (at least while I am at home), get in my cardio and keep my Hallmark channel going 24/7.
    12/25 183.2
    January 1, 2019 185.5 Ground Zero.
    01/08 183.3 Going back down about the same way I went up during December. Redemption. Thank you Lord.
    01/15 186.2 Lots of personal problems and business problems this week has derailed me. Trying hard to get on track. Food plan is hard to stick to during all this, but I have been trying to keep up the Cardio and the walking and limit my snacking. Carbs & calories over the top too many times this week.
