I think that this is my 8th round.
I started MFP (this time around) at 191.
I joined this thread at 158.5
If I don't have 500 calories in the Green on the tracker (on average) I don't lose weight.
Day 1: Fri, 10/22:- 134.0 - Using my EW from the last 100
Day 45: Sun, 12/5: 137.1 - Start weight feels so far away in the wrong direction now that we are 45 days in.
Day 46: Mon, 12/6: 137.3 - Not going to have Ribs this month.
Day 47: Tues, 12/7: 136.9 - My next 2 days are busy with work, and working out of town tomorrow. Thank goodness for those harvest meals that I made to take out of the freezer for days like this.
Day 48: Wed, 12/8: 136.0 - I was very low in calories yesterday from being so busy. I had pre-logged 3 days because I knew that I would be busy. I had to go in and remove some stuff that I didn't get to eat. Not sustainable to eat at 1050, I usually try to stay around1400. Going to have a huge breakfast today before I leave to work out of town.

Day 41…..12/01…..188.7…..(Trend weight 189.5)
Day 42…..12/02…..188.2…..(Trend weight 189.4) Thank you everyone for your kind words. My brother passed yesterday while I was camped out full-time at his house. Lots of family coming in and it will be a busy week. I’ll try to at least weigh in and post the numbers. Your kindness is overwhelming and beautiful!
Day 43…..12/03…..189.8…..(Trend weight 189.5) I don’t understand the increase when I have barely had time to eat and I’m certainly not snacking. I’m wondering if perhaps it is due to some of those new medicines they’ve put me on. I guess I’ll just have to wait it out. Lots of family in yesterday and today. Funeral home appointments. Hospice equipment return appointments and more. It’s going to be a busy day. Thanks again to all who have given the hugs, prayers and kind words.
Day 44…..12/04…..188.8…..(Trend weight 189.4)
Day 45…..12/05…..189.4…..(Trend weight 189.4) Pizza last night for all the visiting family. Not surprised by this. My brother was cremated yesterday morning. We await his ashes.
Day 46…..12/06…..189.6…..(Trend weight 189.4)I’ve been eating all the junk found at my brother’s house as we pack. The Little Debbie’s frosting tasted like Pure Crisco with no flavor and I still ate (several). None of that today! My fasting glucose was 209 this morning which is better than it has been in a very very long time {SB 80-90) and that was even after the Debbie Frenzy. I think the new meds added on are helping. I need to grab that ball and run with it. I’d like to see what really happens with it when I also watch my diet better. I’ll work on that today. Very difficult going through my brother’s house and things, but it has to be done before the weather gets even worse. The winter storm watch and 9” on snow yesterday has delayed things, but it’s only going to get worse. We have very snowy and long winters here in Northern Michigan. Thanks again to all for your kind messages and continued thoughts. I means the world to me.
Day 47…..12/07…..190.4…..(Trend weight 189.5) I actually thought I did well on the dietary front yesterday. However, Pasta always causes a gain for me, even in small quantities. Lasagna is also loaded with dairy which can really bloat me up. My family members that have come after my brother’s death and I will be finishing off the other half of the pan of lasagna today. I am going to log (haven’t had time) so that I can see what I am doing through this. Grazing more than I think? I’ll find out! Pushing water today!
Day 48…..12/08…..190.4…..(Trend weight 189.6) I’m a hot mess. Now I’ve ran my glucose up and I am feeling like sheer crap on top of it all. I’m making changes today to get to a better place. More paperwork and business for my brother is due today. I don’t even feel like I can raise a pencil to paper! It’s the food choices, not just the grieving.

Day 10: Sun: 10/31: 209.0 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing caught 21” Speckled Trout, 1653 cal, 124 net carbs, 3 drinks. Way too many chips (even counting them) with fried fresh fish tacos w/ avocado. Driving home today to spend the evening with our adult kids eating traditional chili and handing out full size (not fun size) M&Ms candy while we sit out on the driveway. Taking my mom with us for a long visit.

Snapdragons, Pansies, Kale, Alyssum, and a few extra for the large pot next to the door. Great exercise weeding digging planting ... not to mention lugging big bags of mulch.

My mother self diagnosis and medicates usually. She has had neuropathy for 4 years but would not see someone about it. Took my mom to a doctor about her neuropathy in her feet & lower legs. Her doc has not done A1c lab work but this one thinks she might be pre-diabetic so she will get more lab work to check. He is switching her from over the internet TrueWell (150 mg alpha-lipoid acid) to EBM’s pharmaceutical grade EB-N6 (600 mg alpha-lipoid acid). Said she is not a candidate for his program to reverse with surgery. She is 85 (5’4” 175 lbs) and eats primarily carbs with few vegetables & protein. He recommended she start keto and then switch to Mediterranean diet. Read Sugar Crush and Fat for Fuel to better understand what she is doing to her body with all the carbs. We checked these books out from the library. She needs to walk, bike or swim at least 20 min 3x per week so I took her out for a short walk … she is active but doesn’t exercise. I also have her doing daily stretches and exercises for her sciatic nerve issue. It is hard to incorporate these changes in an 85 year old … but reinforces my path to healthier lifestyle and I need to get back focused on my own journey to lowering the number on the scale!
Day 14: Thurs: 11/4: 207.5 Walked 3.8 miles, 1530 cal, 138 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Baked pumpkin cookies and pear cake for the baby shower on Saturday at my house. Also cooked a very large pot of chicken sausage gumbo to prep for all the company coming in Friday evening. Kitchen sort of day which was good activity given all the rain in the afternoon/evening.
Day 15: Fri: 11/5: 208.3 No exercise, did not journal food, 2 glasses wine at my sisters … relatives are in town for the shower already and she cooked dinner for us. I was dressed for strength training class when my DIL called crying ~8am. My son is out of town and she is pregnant due late Dec. She was at the school where she teaches. Spotting/bleeding. Drove the 50 miles across Houston picked her up then drove back into town to the med center to see her doctor. All is fine with mom & baby no sign of preterm early labor. Small infection that can cause early contractions so antibiotics and she is good. Lunch out to feed her and then took her home to rest until my son arrived back home from AZ. Then back to my home to care for my mom who I had promised a mani pedi.
Day 16: Sat: 11/6: 207.2 No exercise yet again. Did not journal but ate at home no restaurants! Long visit at the doctor’s office with mom, errand running for the baby shower, my son & his wife arrived from Austin, decorating the house … never seen so many balloons & star garland LOL, gumbo and late night talking with our adult kids over bottles of wine. 3 glasses wine.

It’s going to take me forever to get back < 205 and to this year’s goal of <200 if I don’t start paying more attention to what I put in my mouth and get back into my exercise routine.

Wonderful jazz music brunch at Brennan’s with our adult children (they threw in their credit cards and would not let us pay), 60th birthday celebration for DH since we had the kids all together. Walked through our daughter’s new home built in 1948 … definitely a fixer upper in an up and coming area of town. She told her siblings she was pregnant at brunch. So much celebration this weekend. Taking my mom to the airport today and pulling the plug on gluttony for the rest of the week!

TODAY is the day I pull it all back together water, tracking every bite and exercise. Took the leftover pumpkin cookies & pear cake from the baby shower to alumnae social event last night instead of a bottle of wine. All the sweet temptations are gone!
Day 21: Thurs: 11/11: 205.5 Walked 1.6 + 3.1 + 1 miles, 1524 cal, 114 net carbs, AF. Donated blood (targeting 4x per year).

Weight is rising before the holidays even get here! I need a mental adjustment because I’ve gotten into the “I don’t give a flying fig” attitude. But in reality I do! I’m going to be on point Sat-Wed this week to prove to myself that this can be done so that the scale doesn’t tip over into the tens (210) on Thanksgiving.
Day 31: Sun, 11/21: 208.5 Walked .6 + 3 miles, 1860 cal, 58 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Meals were pretty good but I got into the snacks in the afternoon. Steak night and my sister joined us which leads to more wine.
Day 32: Mon, 11/22: 207.0 Walked 3.6 miles, 2042 cal, 69 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Made this yummy Olive Garden like soup recipe Zuppa Toscana Soup but with cauliflower instead of potatoes. I use frozen cauliflower flowerets and spinach (draining them before adding to the pot). https://www.shugarysweets.com/low-carb-keto-zuppa-toscana-soup-recipe/
Day 33: Tues, 11/23: 207.5 Walked 3.6 + 1.4 miles, 1728 cal, 69 net carbs, AF. 2nd Shingrix vaccine (Shingles) and Tdap vaccine (Whopping Cough). Whooping Cough vaccine is recommended at least 2 weeks before being around a newborn and of course this new grandma is going to heed the advice! So 2021 we got 7 vaccines: 3x COVID, 2x Shingles, Flu, Tdap … I call this fully vaccinated 😂
Day 34: Wed, 11/24: 208.5 @ 3am Strength Training 1 hr, no walk (DH walked the dogs while I was at class), 1894 cal, 212 net carbs, AF. Easily made it through class but then the vaccines from yesterday really kicked in and knocked both DH & I off our feet. Tired! Headache! Chipotle for lunch and Grimaldi’s Pizza for dinner. Not the best choices but I’m not up to fighting the battle. What is it they say? Feed a fever 🤒
Should You Feed a Cold and Starve a Fever? - The answer is no. In actuality, you should feed both a cold and a fever — and starve neither.
Day 35: Thurs, 11/25: 206.6 Walked 1 + 3 miles, 2217 cal, 96 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Still very tired yesterday… up at 3am when fever broke. Enjoyed lunch and decorating a tree for TX Children’s Hospital with DD and put out my outside Christmas lights. Woke up feeling better this morning! Tracking all my food the good the bad is working as usual. The trend is going down. I’m hosting lots of family today … I’ll try to be good
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Day 36: Fri, 11/26: 208.6 Walk cut short due to it raining on us! Walked 1.3 miles, 2783 cal, 244 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Lovely day shared with lots of family but as always way too much food!

Day 38: Sun, 11/28: 209.5 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing, not tracking food. Chips, pie, and drinks are damaging any success I’m making with good choices at meal time. Burned my hand which was not a good excuse to drink bourbon but I soothed it with Aloe on the hand and a few drinks instead of pain meds. TODAY is a good day to start fresh.
Day 39: Mon, 11/29: 209.3 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2.5 + .5 miles, fishing, 1404 cal, 123 net carbs, AF.

Day 41: Wed, 12/1: 210.1 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 + .5 miles, Strength Training class 1 hr, 2619 cal, 134 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes. Okay 2 slices of pecan pie did not bode well for weight loss.

Day 43: Fri, 12/3: 209.8 Walked 3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2171 cal, 205 net carbs, AF.

Day 41…..12/01…..188.7…..(Trend weight 189.5)
Day 42…..12/02…..188.2…..(Trend weight 189.4) Thank you everyone for your kind words. My brother passed yesterday while I was camped out full-time at his house. Lots of family coming in and it will be a busy week. I’ll try to at least weigh in and post the numbers. Your kindness is overwhelming and beautiful!
Day 43…..12/03…..189.8…..(Trend weight 189.5) I don’t understand the increase when I have barely had time to eat and I’m certainly not snacking. I’m wondering if perhaps it is due to some of those new medicines they’ve put me on. I guess I’ll just have to wait it out. Lots of family in yesterday and today. Funeral home appointments. Hospice equipment return appointments and more. It’s going to be a busy day. Thanks again to all who have given the hugs, prayers and kind words.
Day 44…..12/04…..188.8…..(Trend weight 189.4)
Day 45…..12/05…..189.4…..(Trend weight 189.4) Pizza last night for all the visiting family. Not surprised by this. My brother was cremated yesterday morning. We await his ashes.
Day 46…..12/06…..189.6…..(Trend weight 189.4)I’ve been eating all the junk found at my brother’s house as we pack. The Little Debbie’s frosting tasted like Pure Crisco with no flavor and I still ate (several). None of that today! My fasting glucose was 209 this morning which is better than it has been in a very very long time {SB 80-90) and that was even after the Debbie Frenzy. I think the new meds added on are helping. I need to grab that ball and run with it. I’d like to see what really happens with it when I also watch my diet better. I’ll work on that today. Very difficult going through my brother’s house and things, but it has to be done before the weather gets even worse. The winter storm watch and 9” on snow yesterday has delayed things, but it’s only going to get worse. We have very snowy and long winters here in Northern Michigan. Thanks again to all for your kind messages and continued thoughts. I means the world to me.
Day 47…..12/07…..190.4…..(Trend weight 189.5) I actually thought I did well on the dietary front yesterday. However, Pasta always causes a gain for me, even in small quantities. Lasagna is also loaded with dairy which can really bloat me up. My family members that have come after my brother’s death and I will be finishing off the other half of the pan of lasagna today. I am going to log (haven’t had time) so that I can see what I am doing through this. Grazing more than I think? I’ll find out! Pushing water today!
Day 48…..12/08…..190.4…..(Trend weight 189.6) I’m a hot mess. Now I’ve ran my glucose up and I am feeling like sheer crap on top of it all. I’m making changes today to get to a better place. More paperwork and business for my brother is due today. I don’t even feel like I can raise a pencil to paper! It’s the food choices, not just the grieving.
Day 49…..12/09…..190.4…..(Trend weight 189.7) Same weight for 3 days in a row but my trend weight is creeping up 0.1 each and every day. I still haven’t made the changes I need to. I am not eating my meals proper, then I’m snacking too much at night turning snacks into meals. Cravings are all over the place. Back and forth from salt to sweet. Glucose numbers still up, even with new meds. I am not even giving them a chance to work. Self-sabotage is putting it mildly. I promise myself everyday that it will change today, and then I begin the tasks for my brother’s death and I either lean on food for comfort, or I get to busy to plan for success. I suppose the first part of success and change is recognition, so here I am standing at the confessional podium. Better planning is next and success (while currently elusive) is mine to take.

I think that this is my 8th round.
I started MFP (this time around) at 191.
I joined this thread at 158.5

Day 1: Fri, 10/22:- 134.0 - Using my EW from the last 100
Day 45: Sun, 12/5: 137.1 - Start weight feels so far away in the wrong direction now that we are 45 days in.
Day 46: Mon, 12/6: 137.3 - Not going to have Ribs this month.
Day 47: Tues, 12/7: 136.9 - My next 2 days are busy with work, and working out of town tomorrow. Thank goodness for those harvest meals that I made to take out of the freezer for days like this.
Day 48: Wed, 12/8: 136.0 - I was very low in calories yesterday from being so busy. I had pre-logged 3 days because I knew that I would be busy. I had to go in and remove some stuff that I didn't get to eat. Not sustainable to eat at 1050, I usually try to stay around1400. Going to have a huge breakfast today before I leave to work out of town.

🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day 10: Sun: 10/31: 209.0 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing caught 21” Speckled Trout, 1653 cal, 124 net carbs, 3 drinks. Way too many chips (even counting them) with fried fresh fish tacos w/ avocado. Driving home today to spend the evening with our adult kids eating traditional chili and handing out full size (not fun size) M&Ms candy while we sit out on the driveway. Taking my mom with us for a long visit.
Day 11: Mon: 11/1: 209.6 Long drive, .5 mile walk, bad food choices, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Time to turn things around and get focused on getting back under 205.

Day 12: Tues: 11/2: 207.9 Walked 3.2 miles, gardening, 1692 cal, 70 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Bought and planted flowers yesterday in front of my house! Snapdragons, Pansies, Kale, Alyssum, and a few extra for the large pot next to the door. Great exercise weeding digging planting ... not to mention lugging big bags of mulch.
Day 13: Wed: 11/3: 207.7 Walked .6 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 1848 cal, 171 net carbs, AF. Lots of shopping & mom’s doctors visits. But did cook chicken enchilada soup (added zucchini) in crock pot so we had a healthier dinner when we returned home!

My mother self diagnosis and medicates usually. She has had neuropathy for 4 years but would not see someone about it. Took my mom to a doctor about her neuropathy in her feet & lower legs. Her doc has not done A1c lab work but this one thinks she might be pre-diabetic so she will get more lab work to check. He is switching her from over the internet TrueWell (150 mg alpha-lipoid acid) to EBM’s pharmaceutical grade EB-N6 (600 mg alpha-lipoid acid). Said she is not a candidate for his program to reverse with surgery. She is 85 (5’4” 175 lbs) and eats primarily carbs with few vegetables & protein. He recommended she start keto and then switch to Mediterranean diet. Read Sugar Crush and Fat for Fuel to better understand what she is doing to her body with all the carbs. We checked these books out from the library. She needs to walk, bike or swim at least 20 min 3x per week so I took her out for a short walk … she is active but doesn’t exercise. I also have her doing daily stretches and exercises for her sciatic nerve issue. It is hard to incorporate these changes in an 85 year old … but reinforces my path to healthier lifestyle and I need to get back focused on my own journey to lowering the number on the scale!
Day 14: Thurs: 11/4: 207.5 Walked 3.8 miles, 1530 cal, 138 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Baked pumpkin cookies and pear cake for the baby shower on Saturday at my house. Also cooked a very large pot of chicken sausage gumbo to prep for all the company coming in Friday evening. Kitchen sort of day which was good activity given all the rain in the afternoon/evening.
Day 15: Fri: 11/5: 208.3 No exercise, did not journal food, 2 glasses wine at my sisters … relatives are in town for the shower already and she cooked dinner for us. I was dressed for strength training class when my DIL called crying ~8am. My son is out of town and she is pregnant due late Dec. She was at the school where she teaches. Spotting/bleeding. Drove the 50 miles across Houston picked her up then drove back into town to the med center to see her doctor. All is fine with mom & baby no sign of preterm early labor. Small infection that can cause early contractions so antibiotics and she is good. Lunch out to feed her and then took her home to rest until my son arrived back home from AZ. Then back to my home to care for my mom who I had promised a mani pedi.
Day 16: Sat: 11/6: 207.2 No exercise yet again. Did not journal but ate at home no restaurants! Long visit at the doctor’s office with mom, errand running for the baby shower, my son & his wife arrived from Austin, decorating the house … never seen so many balloons & star garland LOL, gumbo and late night talking with our adult kids over bottles of wine. 3 glasses wine.

Wonderful jazz music brunch at Brennan’s with our adult children (they threw in their credit cards and would not let us pay), 60th birthday celebration for DH since we had the kids all together. Walked through our daughter’s new home built in 1948 … definitely a fixer upper in an up and coming area of town. She told her siblings she was pregnant at brunch. So much celebration this weekend. Taking my mom to the airport today and pulling the plug on gluttony for the rest of the week!

TODAY is the day I pull it all back together water, tracking every bite and exercise.

Day 21: Thurs: 11/11: 205.5 Walked 1.6 + 3.1 + 1 miles, 1524 cal, 114 net carbs, AF. Donated blood (targeting 4x per year).

Weight is rising before the holidays even get here! I need a mental adjustment because I’ve gotten into the “I don’t give a flying fig” attitude. But in reality I do! I’m going to be on point Sat-Wed this week to prove to myself that this can be done so that the scale doesn’t tip over into the tens (210) on Thanksgiving.
Day 31: Sun, 11/21: 208.5 Walked .6 + 3 miles, 1860 cal, 58 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Meals were pretty good but I got into the snacks in the afternoon. Steak night and my sister joined us which leads to more wine.
Day 32: Mon, 11/22: 207.0 Walked 3.6 miles, 2042 cal, 69 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Made this yummy Olive Garden like soup recipe Zuppa Toscana Soup but with cauliflower instead of potatoes. I use frozen cauliflower flowerets and spinach (draining them before adding to the pot). https://www.shugarysweets.com/low-carb-keto-zuppa-toscana-soup-recipe/
Day 33: Tues, 11/23: 207.5 Walked 3.6 + 1.4 miles, 1728 cal, 69 net carbs, AF. 2nd Shingrix vaccine (Shingles) and Tdap vaccine (Whopping Cough). Whooping Cough vaccine is recommended at least 2 weeks before being around a newborn and of course this new grandma is going to heed the advice! So 2021 we got 7 vaccines: 3x COVID, 2x Shingles, Flu, Tdap … I call this fully vaccinated 😂
Day 34: Wed, 11/24: 208.5 @ 3am Strength Training 1 hr, no walk (DH walked the dogs while I was at class), 1894 cal, 212 net carbs, AF. Easily made it through class but then the vaccines from yesterday really kicked in and knocked both DH & I off our feet. Tired! Headache! Chipotle for lunch and Grimaldi’s Pizza for dinner. Not the best choices but I’m not up to fighting the battle. What is it they say? Feed a fever 🤒
Should You Feed a Cold and Starve a Fever? - The answer is no. In actuality, you should feed both a cold and a fever — and starve neither.
Day 35: Thurs, 11/25: 206.6 Walked 1 + 3 miles, 2217 cal, 96 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Still very tired yesterday… up at 3am when fever broke. Enjoyed lunch and decorating a tree for TX Children’s Hospital with DD and put out my outside Christmas lights. Woke up feeling better this morning! Tracking all my food the good the bad is working as usual. The trend is going down. I’m hosting lots of family today … I’ll try to be good
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Day 36: Fri, 11/26: 208.6 Walk cut short due to it raining on us! Walked 1.3 miles, 2783 cal, 244 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Lovely day shared with lots of family but as always way too much food!
Day 37: Sat, 11/27: 208.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles with the dogs after a long drive. No fishing Friday … too much wind. ? cal, ? net carbs, AF.
6th Week Goal Weight: <205
6th Week Actual Weight: 208.4
6th Week Weight Loss: .7
I can do better!
Day 38: Sun, 11/28: 209.5 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing, not tracking food. Chips, pie, and drinks are damaging any success I’m making with good choices at meal time. Burned my hand which was not a good excuse to drink bourbon but I soothed it with Aloe on the hand and a few drinks instead of pain meds. TODAY is a good day to start fresh.
Day 39: Mon, 11/29: 209.3 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2.5 + .5 miles, fishing, 1404 cal, 123 net carbs, AF.
Day 40: Tues, 11/30: 209.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing 1437 cal, 103 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes.
Day 41: Wed, 12/1: 210.1 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 + .5 miles, Strength Training class 1 hr, 2619 cal, 134 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes. Okay 2 slices of pecan pie did not bode well for weight loss.
Day 42: Thurs, 12/2: 209.7 Walked 1.5 miles, long drive in the car, 1791 cal, 145 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
Day 43: Fri, 12/3: 209.8 Walked 3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2171 cal, 205 net carbs, AF.
Day 44: Sat, 12/4: 207.7 Walked 2.7 + 1.3 miles, 1797 cal, 202 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
7th Week Actual Weight: 207.7
6th Week Weight Loss: .7
I reached highs this week that I don’t want to see again.
Day 45: Sun, 12/5: 208.3 No exercise, shopped with my sister instead and continued decorating for Christmas. 1980 cal, 193 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
Day 46: Mon, 12/6: 208.3 Walked 3.5 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Pasta for both lunch & dinner when I told myself I would not have any for the day. Planned to decorate the tree but worked on a beautiful wood puzzle with very cool and unusual pieces with DH instead. https://www.libertypuzzles.com/wooden-jigsaw-puzzles/grand-canyon-falls
Day 47: Tues, 12/7: 208.6 Walked 1.3 + 1.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Planned meals and did well but lacked green veggies in the house.
Day 48: Wed, 12/8: 207.8 Walked 1.1 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, shopping, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Dinner out Italian again but I ordered grilled crab cakes. Went to a play (TUTS Little Mermaid) with my sister, DD and DIL which was a nice change of pace but it was a late night.
Day 49: Thurs, 12/9: 207.5 Walked 2.8 + 1 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Healthier eating and this time I included veggies! But I’m craving and snacking on Simply Jif by the spoonful.
Day 50: Fri, 12/10: 206.6 Walked .7 + 1.5 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Doing great with meals but my snacking is still off … Snickers and then opened a bag of Fritos after coming home from grocery store.
Pregnant DIL was in a car accident. The driver fell asleep behind the wheel at 3pm!! Didn’t even tap the brakes and ran into the back of her. He and his daughter were taken away in ambulance … he was not conscience. DIL and the baby are okay. She was wearing a Pregnancy Bump Strap so no trauma across the tummy from the seat belt! Met her doctor at the hospital for observation and to throughly check her & baby out.

Day 47: Tues, 12/7: 136.9 - My next 2 days are busy with work, and working out of town tomorrow. Thank goodness for those harvest meals that I made to take out of the freezer for days like this.
Day 48: Wed, 12/8: 136.0 - I was very low in calories yesterday from being so busy. I had pre-logged 3 days because I knew that I would be busy. I had to go in and remove some stuff that I didn't get to eat. Not sustainable to eat at 1050, I usually try to stay around1400. Going to have a huge breakfast today before I leave to work out of town.

Day 41…..12/01…..188.7…..(Trend weight 189.5)
Day 42…..12/02…..188.2…..(Trend weight 189.4) Thank you everyone for your kind words. My brother passed yesterday while I was camped out full-time at his house. Lots of family coming in and it will be a busy week. I’ll try to at least weigh in and post the numbers. Your kindness is overwhelming and beautiful!
Day 43…..12/03…..189.8…..(Trend weight 189.5) I don’t understand the increase when I have barely had time to eat and I’m certainly not snacking. I’m wondering if perhaps it is due to some of those new medicines they’ve put me on. I guess I’ll just have to wait it out. Lots of family in yesterday and today. Funeral home appointments. Hospice equipment return appointments and more. It’s going to be a busy day. Thanks again to all who have given the hugs, prayers and kind words.
Day 44…..12/04…..188.8…..(Trend weight 189.4)
Day 45…..12/05…..189.4…..(Trend weight 189.4) Pizza last night for all the visiting family. Not surprised by this. My brother was cremated yesterday morning. We await his ashes.
Day 46…..12/06…..189.6…..(Trend weight 189.4)I’ve been eating all the junk found at my brother’s house as we pack. The Little Debbie’s frosting tasted like Pure Crisco with no flavor and I still ate (several). None of that today! My fasting glucose was 209 this morning which is better than it has been in a very very long time {SB 80-90) and that was even after the Debbie Frenzy. I think the new meds added on are helping. I need to grab that ball and run with it. I’d like to see what really happens with it when I also watch my diet better. I’ll work on that today. Very difficult going through my brother’s house and things, but it has to be done before the weather gets even worse. The winter storm watch and 9” on snow yesterday has delayed things, but it’s only going to get worse. We have very snowy and long winters here in Northern Michigan. Thanks again to all for your kind messages and continued thoughts. I means the world to me.
Day 47…..12/07…..190.4…..(Trend weight 189.5) I actually thought I did well on the dietary front yesterday. However, Pasta always causes a gain for me, even in small quantities. Lasagna is also loaded with dairy which can really bloat me up. My family members that have come after my brother’s death and I will be finishing off the other half of the pan of lasagna today. I am going to log (haven’t had time) so that I can see what I am doing through this. Grazing more than I think? I’ll find out! Pushing water today!
Day 48…..12/08…..190.4…..(Trend weight 189.6) I’m a hot mess. Now I’ve ran my glucose up and I am feeling like sheer crap on top of it all. I’m making changes today to get to a better place. More paperwork and business for my brother is due today. I don’t even feel like I can raise a pencil to paper! It’s the food choices, not just the grieving.
Day 49…..12/09…..190.4…..(Trend weight 189.7) Same weight for 3 days in a row but my trend weight is creeping up 0.1 each and every day. I still haven’t made the changes I need to. I am not eating my meals proper, then I’m snacking too much at night turning snacks into meals. Cravings are all over the place. Back and forth from salt to sweet. Glucose numbers still up, even with new meds. I am not even giving them a chance to work. Self-sabotage is putting it mildly. I promise myself everyday that it will change today, and then I begin the tasks for my brother’s death and I either lean on food for comfort, or I get to busy to plan for success. I suppose the first part of success and change is recognition, so here I am standing at the confessional podium. Better planning is next and success (while currently elusive) is mine to take.
Day 50…..12/10…..189.8…..(Trend weight 189.4) I went shopping yesterday for some sugar-free candy. I hope this helps the cravings. My meals were not exactly “dietetic” but they were healthy. My glucose is back down today to 219. That is still too high but much better than the past couple of days so the sugar-free versions helped. I’m working my way back to healthy habits, one day at a time. I owned the house my brother lived in. There is much work to do in the clean-out and paint etc. He was a heavy smoker so it’s going to be a chore. I’ll have to pull my handyman from my projects and get him over there asap. I rely on the rental income as part of my retirement. So many details….. I dropped the obituary off to the funeral home and gave them a picture. Our paper is only once per week so he will be in next Wednesday’s paper. It’s so hard to focus on things with diet, Christmas, glucose, death, landlord stuff etc. I am scattered. One day at a time…… I hate my mid-way progress below. Did I just really say “Progress”? Ugh!
Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: I HAVE GAINED 4.2 POUNDS SINCE THE START OF THIS CHALLENGE ROUND. I HAVE SOME WORK TO DO, BUT DON’T COUNT ME OUT JUST YET!!!!

🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)

Day 10: Sun: 10/31: 209.0 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing caught 21” Speckled Trout, 1653 cal, 124 net carbs, 3 drinks. Way too many chips (even counting them) with fried fresh fish tacos w/ avocado. Driving home today to spend the evening with our adult kids eating traditional chili and handing out full size (not fun size) M&Ms candy while we sit out on the driveway. Taking my mom with us for a long visit.
Day 11: Mon: 11/1: 209.6 Long drive, .5 mile walk, bad food choices, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Time to turn things around and get focused on getting back under 205.
Brought my mom back to visit for the baby shower at the end of the week as well as doctor’s visits she scheduled in Houston.
Day 12: Tues: 11/2: 207.9 Walked 3.2 miles, gardening, 1692 cal, 70 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Bought and planted flowers yesterday in front of my house! Snapdragons, Pansies, Kale, Alyssum, and a few extra for the large pot next to the door. Great exercise weeding digging planting ... not to mention lugging big bags of mulch.
Day 13: Wed: 11/3: 207.7 Walked .6 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 1848 cal, 171 net carbs, AF. Lots of shopping & mom’s doctors visits. But did cook chicken enchilada soup (added zucchini) in crock pot so we had a healthier dinner when we returned home!

My mother self diagnosis and medicates usually. She has had neuropathy for 4 years but would not see someone about it. Took my mom to a doctor about her neuropathy in her feet & lower legs. Her doc has not done A1c lab work but this one thinks she might be pre-diabetic so she will get more lab work to check. He is switching her from over the internet TrueWell (150 mg alpha-lipoid acid) to EBM’s pharmaceutical grade EB-N6 (600 mg alpha-lipoid acid). Said she is not a candidate for his program to reverse with surgery. She is 85 (5’4” 175 lbs) and eats primarily carbs with few vegetables & protein. He recommended she start keto and then switch to Mediterranean diet. Read Sugar Crush and Fat for Fuel to better understand what she is doing to her body with all the carbs. We checked these books out from the library. She needs to walk, bike or swim at least 20 min 3x per week so I took her out for a short walk … she is active but doesn’t exercise. I also have her doing daily stretches and exercises for her sciatic nerve issue. It is hard to incorporate these changes in an 85 year old … but reinforces my path to healthier lifestyle and I need to get back focused on my own journey to lowering the number on the scale!
Day 14: Thurs: 11/4: 207.5 Walked 3.8 miles, 1530 cal, 138 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Baked pumpkin cookies and pear cake for the baby shower on Saturday at my house. Also cooked a very large pot of chicken sausage gumbo to prep for all the company coming in Friday evening. Kitchen sort of day which was good activity given all the rain in the afternoon/evening.
Day 15: Fri: 11/5: 208.3 No exercise, did not journal food, 2 glasses wine at my sisters … relatives are in town for the shower already and she cooked dinner for us. I was dressed for strength training class when my DIL called crying ~8am. My son is out of town and she is pregnant due late Dec. She was at the school where she teaches. Spotting/bleeding. Drove the 50 miles across Houston picked her up then drove back into town to the med center to see her doctor. All is fine with mom & baby no sign of preterm early labor. Small infection that can cause early contractions so antibiotics and she is good. Lunch out to feed her and then took her home to rest until my son arrived back home from AZ. Then back to my home to care for my mom who I had promised a mani pedi.
Day 16: Sat: 11/6: 207.2 No exercise yet again. Did not journal but ate at home no restaurants! Long visit at the doctor’s office with mom, errand running for the baby shower, my son & his wife arrived from Austin, decorating the house … never seen so many balloons & star garland LOL, gumbo and late night talking with our adult kids over bottles of wine. 3 glasses wine.
3rd Week Goal Weight: N/A <205

It’s going to take me forever to get back < 205 and to this year’s goal of <200 if I don’t start paying more attention to what I put in my mouth and get back into my exercise routine.
Day 17: Sun: 11/7: 208.3 No exercise, baby shower at my home took most of my time, no journaling food, AF.
Day 18: Mon: 11/8: 207.9 Walked 3.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Wonderful jazz music brunch at Brennan’s with our adult children (they threw in their credit cards and would not let us pay), 60th birthday celebration for DH since we had the kids all together. Walked through our daughter’s new home built in 1948 … definitely a fixer upper in an up and coming area of town. She told her siblings she was pregnant at brunch. So much celebration this weekend. Taking my mom to the airport today and pulling the plug on gluttony for the rest of the week!
Day 19: Tues: 11/9: 207.4 Walk 3 miles, Bike 20 min, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF.
Day 20: Wed: 11/10: 206.7 Walked 1.3 + 1.3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, weeding garden, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Still not journalling my food but I am paying more attention Mon & Tues. TODAY is the day I pull it all back together water, tracking every bite and exercise. Took the leftover pumpkin cookies & pear cake from the baby shower to alumnae social event last night instead of a bottle of wine. All the sweet temptations are gone!
Day 21: Thurs: 11/11: 205.5 Walked 1.6 + 3.1 + 1 miles, 1524 cal, 114 net carbs, AF. Donated blood (targeting 4x per year). Started journaling my food for the day in the morning again and then updating it throughout the day. Definitely makes me think before putting something else in my tummy and I’m more accountable.
Day 22: Fri: 11/12: 207.0 Walked 1.8 + 1.4 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2267 cal, 151 net carbs, Torchy’s Tini. DH went to happy hour with clients. My sister stopped by to drop something off so we ended up going out as well. After I returned home I walked the dog once more before DH returned.
Day 23: Sat: 11/13: 207.4. Walked 3.7 + 3.1 miles, 1642 cal, 118 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.

Day 25: Mon, 11/15: 207.1 Walked 3.2 miles, 1562 cal, 69 net carbs, 1 glass wine.

Day 29: Fri, 11/19: 209.6 Walked 1.3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Definitely not controlling the intake nor measuring it. Sigh …
Walked 47.8 miles in November
Day 30: Sat, 11/20: 209.1 Walked 3.3 + 3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 38th Anniversary dinner with DH at Ouisie’s Table, 2 glasses wine.

Weight is rising before the holidays even get here! I need a mental adjustment because I’ve gotten into the “I don’t give a flying fig” attitude. But in reality I do! I’m going to be on point Sat-Wed this week to prove to myself that this can be done so that the scale doesn’t tip over into the tens (210) on Thanksgiving.
Day 31: Sun, 11/21: 208.5 Walked .6 + 3 miles, 1860 cal, 58 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Meals were pretty good but I got into the snacks in the afternoon. Steak night and my sister joined us which leads to more wine.
Day 32: Mon, 11/22: 207.0 Walked 3.6 miles, 2042 cal, 69 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Made this yummy Olive Garden like soup recipe Zuppa Toscana Soup but with cauliflower instead of potatoes. I use frozen cauliflower flowerets and spinach (draining them before adding to the pot). https://www.shugarysweets.com/low-carb-keto-zuppa-toscana-soup-recipe/
Day 33: Tues, 11/23: 207.5 Walked 3.6 + 1.4 miles, 1728 cal, 69 net carbs, AF. 2nd Shingrix vaccine (Shingles) and Tdap vaccine (Whopping Cough). Whooping Cough vaccine is recommended at least 2 weeks before being around a newborn and of course this new grandma is going to heed the advice! So 2021 we got 7 vaccines: 3x COVID, 2x Shingles, Flu, Tdap … I call this fully vaccinated 😂
Day 34: Wed, 11/24: 208.5 @ 3am Strength Training 1 hr, no walk (DH walked the dogs while I was at class), 1894 cal, 212 net carbs, AF. Easily made it through class but then the vaccines from yesterday really kicked in and knocked both DH & I off our feet. Tired! Headache! Chipotle for lunch and Grimaldi’s Pizza for dinner. Not the best choices but I’m not up to fighting the battle. What is it they say? Feed a fever 🤒
Should You Feed a Cold and Starve a Fever? - The answer is no. In actuality, you should feed both a cold and a fever — and starve neither.
Day 35: Thurs, 11/25: 206.6 Walked 1 + 3 miles, 2217 cal, 96 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Still very tired yesterday… up at 3am when fever broke. Enjoyed lunch and decorating a tree for TX Children’s Hospital with DD and put out my outside Christmas lights. Woke up feeling better this morning! Tracking all my food the good the bad is working as usual. The trend is going down. I’m hosting lots of family today … I’ll try to be good
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Day 36: Fri, 11/26: 208.6 Walk cut short due to it raining on us! Walked 1.3 miles, 2783 cal, 244 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Lovely day shared with lots of family but as always way too much food!
Day 37: Sat, 11/27: 208.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles with the dogs after a long drive. No fishing Friday … too much wind. ? cal, ? net carbs, AF.
6th Week Goal Weight: <205

I can do better!
Day 38: Sun, 11/28: 209.5 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing, not tracking food. Chips, pie, and drinks are damaging any success I’m making with good choices at meal time. Burned my hand which was not a good excuse to drink bourbon but I soothed it with Aloe on the hand and a few drinks instead of pain meds. TODAY is a good day to start fresh.
Day 39: Mon, 11/29: 209.3 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2.5 + .5 miles, fishing, 1404 cal, 123 net carbs, AF.
Day 40: Tues, 11/30: 209.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing 1437 cal, 103 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes.
Day 41: Wed, 12/1: 210.1 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 + .5 miles, Strength Training class 1 hr, 2619 cal, 134 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes. Okay 2 slices of pecan pie did not bode well for weight loss.
Day 42: Thurs, 12/2: 209.7 Walked 1.5 miles, long drive in the car, 1791 cal, 145 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
Day 43: Fri, 12/3: 209.8 Walked 3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2171 cal, 205 net carbs, AF.
Day 44: Sat, 12/4: 207.7 Walked 2.7 + 1.3 miles, 1797 cal, 202 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
7th Week Actual Weight: 207.7
7th Week Weight Loss: .7
I reached highs this week that I don’t want to see again.
Day 45: Sun, 12/5: 208.3 No exercise, shopped with my sister instead and continued decorating for Christmas. 1980 cal, 193 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
Day 46: Mon, 12/6: 208.3 Walked 3.5 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Pasta for both lunch & dinner when I told myself I would not have any for the day. Planned to decorate the tree but worked on a beautiful wood puzzle with very cool and unusual pieces with DH instead. https://www.libertypuzzles.com/wooden-jigsaw-puzzles/grand-canyon-falls
Day 47: Tues, 12/7: 208.6 Walked 1.3 + 1.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Planned meals and did well but lacked green veggies in the house.
Day 48: Wed, 12/8: 207.8 Walked 1.1 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, shopping, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Dinner out Italian again but I ordered grilled crab cakes. Went to a play (TUTS Little Mermaid) with my sister, DD and DIL which was a nice change of pace but it was a late night.
Day 49: Thurs, 12/9: 207.5 Walked 2.8 + 1 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Healthier eating and this time I included veggies! But I’m craving and snacking on Simply Jif by the spoonful.
Day 50: Fri, 12/10: 206.6 Walked .7 + 1.5 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Doing great with meals but my snacking is still off … Snickers and then opened a bag of Fritos after coming home from grocery store.
Pregnant DIL was in a car accident. The driver fell asleep behind the wheel at 3pm!! Didn’t even tap the brakes and ran into the back of her. He and his daughter were taken away in ambulance … he was not conscience. DIL and the baby are okay. She was wearing a Pregnancy Bump Strap so no trauma across the tummy from the seat belt! Met her doctor at the hospital for observation and to throughly check her & baby out.
Buy this for every pregnant woman in your life!

Day 51: Sat: 12/11: 206.4 Walked 3.1 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Went to doctor to see if I can do anything about a lingering 3 week cough before granddaughter is born. No root cause except drainage down throat (not nose). No sinus congestion or headache, no chest congestion, no fever, no aches, clear ears, negative Covid, etc. Got a steroid shot, Z-Pak, & take Zyrtec. Hopefully it will knock out whatever it is.
8th Week Goal Weight: <205 Repeat until I hit it!
8th Week Actual Weight: 206.4
6th Week Weight Loss: 1.3
Not journaling my food but being more conscience about what I eat and planning better. Need to get back to journaling and need to up my water!

Day 41…..12/01…..188.7…..(Trend weight 189.5)
Day 42…..12/02…..188.2…..(Trend weight 189.4) Thank you everyone for your kind words. My brother passed yesterday while I was camped out full-time at his house. Lots of family coming in and it will be a busy week. I’ll try to at least weigh in and post the numbers. Your kindness is overwhelming and beautiful!
Day 43…..12/03…..189.8…..(Trend weight 189.5) I don’t understand the increase when I have barely had time to eat and I’m certainly not snacking. I’m wondering if perhaps it is due to some of those new medicines they’ve put me on. I guess I’ll just have to wait it out. Lots of family in yesterday and today. Funeral home appointments. Hospice equipment return appointments and more. It’s going to be a busy day. Thanks again to all who have given the hugs, prayers and kind words.
Day 44…..12/04…..188.8…..(Trend weight 189.4)
Day 45…..12/05…..189.4…..(Trend weight 189.4) Pizza last night for all the visiting family. Not surprised by this. My brother was cremated yesterday morning. We await his ashes.
Day 46…..12/06…..189.6…..(Trend weight 189.4)I’ve been eating all the junk found at my brother’s house as we pack. The Little Debbie’s frosting tasted like Pure Crisco with no flavor and I still ate (several). None of that today! My fasting glucose was 209 this morning which is better than it has been in a very very long time {SB 80-90) and that was even after the Debbie Frenzy. I think the new meds added on are helping. I need to grab that ball and run with it. I’d like to see what really happens with it when I also watch my diet better. I’ll work on that today. Very difficult going through my brother’s house and things, but it has to be done before the weather gets even worse. The winter storm watch and 9” on snow yesterday has delayed things, but it’s only going to get worse. We have very snowy and long winters here in Northern Michigan. Thanks again to all for your kind messages and continued thoughts. I means the world to me.
Day 47…..12/07…..190.4…..(Trend weight 189.5) I actually thought I did well on the dietary front yesterday. However, Pasta always causes a gain for me, even in small quantities. Lasagna is also loaded with dairy which can really bloat me up. My family members that have come after my brother’s death and I will be finishing off the other half of the pan of lasagna today. I am going to log (haven’t had time) so that I can see what I am doing through this. Grazing more than I think? I’ll find out! Pushing water today!
Day 48…..12/08…..190.4…..(Trend weight 189.6) I’m a hot mess. Now I’ve ran my glucose up and I am feeling like sheer crap on top of it all. I’m making changes today to get to a better place. More paperwork and business for my brother is due today. I don’t even feel like I can raise a pencil to paper! It’s the food choices, not just the grieving.
Day 49…..12/09…..190.4…..(Trend weight 189.7) Same weight for 3 days in a row but my trend weight is creeping up 0.1 each and every day. I still haven’t made the changes I need to. I am not eating my meals proper, then I’m snacking too much at night turning snacks into meals. Cravings are all over the place. Back and forth from salt to sweet. Glucose numbers still up, even with new meds. I am not even giving them a chance to work. Self-sabotage is putting it mildly. I promise myself everyday that it will change today, and then I begin the tasks for my brother’s death and I either lean on food for comfort, or I get to busy to plan for success. I suppose the first part of success and change is recognition, so here I am standing at the confessional podium. Better planning is next and success (while currently elusive) is mine to take.
Day 50…..12/10…..189.8…..(Trend weight 189.7) I went shopping yesterday for some sugar-free candy. I hope this helps the cravings. My meals were not exactly “dietetic” but they were healthy. My glucose is back down today to 219. That is still too high but much better than the past couple of days so the sugar-free versions helped. I’m working my way back to healthy habits, one day at a time. I owned the house my brother lived in. There is much work to do in the clean-out and paint etc. He was a heavy smoker so it’s going to be a chore. I’ll have to pull my handyman from my projects and get him over there asap. I rely on the rental income as part of my retirement. So many details….. I dropped the obituary off to the funeral home and gave them a picture. Our paper is only once per week so he will be in next Wednesday’s paper. It’s so hard to focus on things with diet, Christmas, glucose, death, landlord stuff etc. I am scattered. One day at a time…… I hate my mid-way progress below. Did I just really say “Progress”? Ugh!
Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: I HAVE GAINED 4.2 POUNDS SINCE THE START OF THIS CHALLENGE ROUND. I HAVE SOME WORK TO DO, BUT DON’T COUNT ME OUT JUST YET!!!!
Day 51…..12/11…..190.6…..(Trend weight 189.8) Waited too long for dinner due to unexpected company over. Then I overate. Dinner at 11:30 pm. Early wake-up and weigh-in after 3.5 hours of sleep.
