My goal for 2022 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹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/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 1: Tues, 5/10: 216.5 No exercise. 1532 cal (-180 red), 66 net carbs, 1.5 glass wine. DH & I tested positive on Tuesday 5/3 for COVID19. We quarantined per CDC for 5 days. I was asymptomatic except for a headache the first day and then tested negative for Covid on Monday 5/9 so I’ve been cleared. DH still has flu like symptoms and tested positive on Mon. We are using the CUE system which is a PCR like test that DH’s company provided employees.
Day 2: Wed, 5/11: 216.4 Short walk .6 miles. 1725 cal (-346 red), 45 net carbs, 2 glass wine.
Day 3: Thurs, 5/12: 216.4 No exercise. Played with my 4 month old granddaughter instead
1631 cal (-330 red), 107 net carbs, 2 glass wine. Lunch at Mexican restaurant with DIL where we split fajitas making salads and neither of us at the rice, beans or tortillas. But of course we ate chips! Happy that the scale did not blow up on that minor splurge.
Day 4: Fri, 5/13: 218.4 Cancelled our trip. DH still has congestion and fatigue from his bout of COVID. My students from ESL class gave me a dozen beautiful roses No exercise. 1839 cal ( -507), 126 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Blew my focus on healthy eating … sabotaging myself with fried okra & cornbread for lunch and pizza at dinner! What am I thinking!
Day 5: Sat, 5/14: 217.3 Walk 3.2 miles. Why can’t I get back into the groove. I know my knee hurts but that is not excuse for skipping my strength class! 1562 cal (-73 green), 93 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not bad given that DH & I picked up lunch and took it over to our daughter today to check on her … she had the pregnancy blues. Made up for it with salmon with spinach & white beans easy light dinner.
1st Week Goal Weight: <215
1st Week Actual Weight: 217.3
1st Week Weight GAIN: .9
Success this week is that I actually journaled every bite and started walking a little again.

Day 7: Mon, 5/16: 217.2 No exercise. Did not even wear my Apple Watch so no credit for steps either. 2518 cal (-1218 red), 164 net carbs, 2 glasses wine, 2 bourbon & diet cokes, THREE cupcakes! Did okay until DH asked for me to cook a dessert and I made something I liked too. Sent home most of the cupcakes with my kids after dinner. Thought about not completing my journal but then I didn’t want to get into bad habits so reporting in the mess of a day!

Success with picking back up on my Strong & Fit classes again but my walking is still a struggle in the heat. My knee feels a little better and I think the lunges and squats are helping. However, I blew off journaling every bite because I was eating everything. That has to stop! Starting to journal again this morning.

Day 13: Sun, 5/22: 218.4 Walked 2.6 to drop off library book instead of taking the car. 2041 cal (-397 red), 146 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Spent most of the day practicing both sketching and spanish.
Day 14: Mon, 5/23: 219.5 Walk 1.25 miles. 1701 cal (-227 red), 132 net carbs, AF. Pancakes for breakfast and hamburger w/ tater tots for dinner blew up my carb count for the day.

Day 16: Wed, 5/25: 218.3 Strength training class 1 hr, 2534 cal (-1010 red), 256 net carbs, 3 glasses of wine but the real indulgence was the 5 homemade pumpkin cookies!

Day 20: Sun, 5/29: DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 with my sister cleaning out mom’s house since she has an offer … mom will move into my smaller house next door if the sell goes through. Tons of stuff there as she loved shopping garage sales and it was my grandfathers before. The house has been in the family since 1954 and it grew organically with many additions and remodels over the years.
Managing my mother’s expectations and the entire situation has been really challenging and I’ve totally derailed on my weight loss journey losing all focus on myself.
Day 21: Mon, 5/30: DNW @ fishing camp 🎣

Day 27: Sun, 6/5: 219.0 Walked 3.2 miles
Day 28: Mon, 6/6: 219.1 Walked 3.2 miles
Day 29: Tues, 6/7: DNW
Day 30: Wed, 6/8: 219.8 Walked .6 miles, Strength Training 1 hr. Heading in the wrong direction while eating cookies, Cheetos, and cornbread. Really need to clean up my eating habits and clear my mind of the junk that has me turning to comfort food. TODAY is a good day to start!
Day 31: Thurs, 6/9: 219.0 Walked .8 miles. My normal 3 mile walk was cut short by a call from my sister. She had an allergic reaction to the dye in her annual CT scan. So I turned around hurried home and picked her up. She came to my house to rest in bed till noon then felt better but still had a headache. She is the only one of our family that still has the symptoms (fatigue, drainage down the throat, etc) from Covid well over a month ago. She is also the one in the poorest health having had stage 4 breast cancer 15 years ago. She is fine but went to bed still with the headache last night.
Then after lunch my 37 weeks pregnant daughter calls. She lost her mucus plug with lots of blood, scared her, went home from work and called the doctor. So she too was resting with her feet up.
DH & I babysat my granddaughter at their house while the parents had a movie & sushi date night
More calls and setting up viewings of my mom’s home.
Overall I’m not sure where the day went but I accomplished nothing on my todo list! I also didn’t snack!
Day 32: Fri, 6/10: DNW Walked 1 mile, Strength Training 1 hr.
Day 33: Sat, 6/11: 219.0 No Exercise. Busy day but lazy and did not join my Strength Training class.

Day 34: Sun, 6/12: 220.1 Walked 4 miles. Wrong direction! Do NOT like seeing that number. When am I going to start focusing on me? Problem last few nights … Asleep before 10pm but I’m up and totally awake around 3-4 which is not healthy for me. So many things running through my mind that I have no control over … selling my mom’s house, my daughter is due any day, caring for my son’s dogs this weekend. At least I did get out and walk the dogs! Caught up the laundry, grocery shopped, menu planned. Today I’ll focus on me myself and I.
Day 35: Mon, 6/13: 219.0 Walked 3 miles. Much of what I did today was again for the sell of my mom’s home following up with the buyer and their questions after the inspection on Friday. BUT I did walk, wash my hair, file my nails, color a mosaic mandala, read and cooked 3 new meals (breakfast lunch & dinner). Baby steps focusing on me.
Day 36: Tues, 6/14: 219.2 Walked 3.2 miles. WAY TOO MUCH snacking through stress today. Attended morning spanish class, afternoon sketching class (I’m definitely the amateur!), evening spanish assessment for another M & W evening class with DH, many calls and scheduling for my mom’s house, lots of interruptions while in classes.
ALSO my daughter started having minor contractions but no baby movement … they went to the hospital to make sure the baby was okay and were sent home to continue the early labor after finding the baby’s strong heartbeat and the monitor recognizing more contractions that my daughter was feeling. She thought they were 10 min apart but they were 6 min apart, 2cc dilated, 80% effaced. Exciting that their baby due July 1 with a scheduled inducement for June 23 will likely be earlier than expected. Good news because they are having what the doctor predicts as a big baby.
Day 37: Wed, 6/15: 220.4 Strength Training Class 1 hr. I’m on watch for grand baby #2! DD has had what the hospital Monday evening called labor contractions (not Braxton Hicks) regularly about 6 min apart but not long enough or strong enough to keep her there. So yesterday she decided not to go into work and joined me in visiting my granddaughter and DIL. We helped out since my son is out of town this week working. My DIL asked if I could babysit so she could go grocery shopping and prep cook for her sister’s bachelorette party this weekend. It was a fun day. Did not stay into the evening like I originally planned since DD wanted to go home and rest. But all in all I ended up with 2 restaurant meals and snacks and the scale shows that I’m not on point and focused.
Day 38: Thurs, 6/16: 220.4 Walked 3 miles.
Day 39: Fri, 6/17: 220.2 Strength Training 1 hr
Day 40: Sat, 6/18: 219.2 Walked 3+ .6 miles

Lots going on. Son was on work trip in CA when he got really sick Thurs. He text his wife in Austin but she is a nurse without phone on her during clinical so got the message after a 14 hr shift. Curled up on bathroom hotel floor, throwing up blood with 101 fever. Lucky that a really good friend lived near by. My son was not able to talk over phone but text him "Come take me to the hospital". His friend turned the phone around in his meeting with his boss to show him the message ... and off he went. REALLY good friend. stayed with him at the hospital until 1:30 in the morning. Blood test indicated he was septic. Then the CT Scan indicated he had a ruptured appendix. We flew her out there early Friday morning. DH drove to Austin to pick up their very large 6 mo old puppy. He is okay after emergency surgery at 2am Friday morning and now on pain meds, IVs, antibiotics, etc ... he'll be there for the week. His wife is missing a week of accelerated nursing school and they may kick her out if they don't accept this excuse. Then I woke up this morning to a text message from DIL that his fever is again spiking, throwing up, etc ... not a good sign. Waiting to hear more this morning since she can't get back in until 6:30am in California.
Also on Friday DD pregnant @ 38 weeks and her husband were in a wreck on the way to OBGYN. All are okay. Doc thought baby would be delivered Friday but the little one is going to hold off until her scheduled induction on Thursday.
DIL is out of town Fri-Sun so my son is handling baby girl. He had to work Saturday so we had her for most of the day.
Then renegotiated Thursday night and Friday the sell of my mom's home (sell by owner and I'm managing it). Buyer could not get bank loan due to the poor condition of the property (lots of add ons with no permits so if you look closely there are issues plus hard to get wind and flood insurance on the coast. Trying to get through all the contract updates to move this forward so we can close on June 28. Setting up owner financing and reducing risks for my mom as well. She is moving her stuff over to my camp house next door where she plans to live. DH is selling our boat. In the long run I know this is a good idea. Reduces fall risk, property that is more manageable and in good shape for her to live (since I spent the last 5 years fixing it up!) Reduces her outgoing expenses, gives her an additional income stream.2 -

Day 39…..06/17…..203.2…..(Trend weight 204.8)
Day 40…..06/18…..205.2…..(Trend weight 204.8) Closed out with great numbers last night, then had a glucose drop and ate a large bowl of cereal with low carb Fairlife milk very late last night. Showed up as 2 pounds this morning! No worries, still feeling this out and navigating how to work around my health issues. My resolve is still very strong.
Day 41…..06/19…..203.0…..(Trend weight 204.7) A big drop overnight. I have to wonder how much my puff ups are from water retention based on the heart issues and how much the drops are from the water pill. I take the water pill about every other day except when traveling (for obvious reasons.). I’m going to be tracking this trend. I did take one yesterday. On another note, yesterday was a great day. My glucose drops tend to come more in the evening or at night so I delayed my meals all day. Breakfast at 11:30 am, lunch at 5:00 pm and dinner at 10:30 pm. I hated to eat that late (due to morning weigh-ins) but it seems to have worked. No drop last night and satisfied most of the day. I even fit in some exercise. About 17 min of aerobic dancing, a short 15 minute walk with inclines and stationary bike for 10 minutes. Keeping it safe until I know more about the heart situation, but it’s a start!

@Lilylady3k Oh Lily what a time, hope you son gets better soon and everyone is alright. Wow all of this at once. Sending hugs.2

@deepwoodslady
Koodos to all of the positive steps that you are taking.
I often log all of my food for the day also. It is kind of easy for me since I eat pretty much the same thing each day so it is just a matter of "copy to date" kind of thing. I take food out of the freezer in the morning for my dinner, so I know what I will be having (and everything else is frozen so I don't really deviate).
It is amazing how little things add up when logging every bite: one less cracker, one tablespoon less of coffee cream, 1 tablespoon less of mayo etc. etc. Logging makes us mindful about what we put in our bodies.
Great that you decided to forego 100 calories of a sweet beverage for more food instead.
Love that you danced to Kermit : - )
A happy dance affects way more than just our waistlines, what a joyous thing to do for yourself : - )
You are taking control of your health. Like I already said, we need you!!1 -
I am Dawn. 61yrs old, 5'2"
Ideal healthy body weight for my stats is 112. Many rounds away from that, and quite honestly I would be happy to get to 118 some day.
I would really like to lose 7 pounds this round.
I lost 1.8 pounds the last 100, which was a departure from gaining in the last 4 of them.
1st Week Goal Weight: 135.0
1st Week Actual Weight: 138.8
Excess calories burned (in the green): Shorter week, 1874, which only averages to 372.8 per day, less than usual
2nd Week Goal Weight: 135.0 - seems ambitious.
2nd Week Actual Weight: No idea, wonky scale on holiday with me read 48 pounds
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5167 - very happy with that.
3rd Week Goal Weight: N/A
3rd Week Actual Weight: 138.3 - had Ribs this week
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3976. Even after having a RED from Ribs, I still averaged 568 per day overall.
4th Week Goal Weight: 136.1
4th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3568 - Not as much as usual, and it is reflected in my weight.
5th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
5th Week Actual Weight: 139.4 - lunch out contributed to this gain.
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4477 - 639.5 daily average
6th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5751 - That averaged out to 821.5 per day - a few very heavy calorie burn days toiling in the yard.
Day 41: Sun, 6/19: - 138.1 - I will be going out to dinner tomorrow night so am going to try to mitigate that with low calories and lots of activity today and tomorrow.

You are taking control of your health. Like I already said, we need you!!
@dawnbgethealthy Your comments mean a lot to me, thank you! I pre-logged again today. For lunch I had a frozen Schwan's chili with beef and chicken. I had never had it before but it sure is a lesson in portion sizes. It was delicious, just like homemade! It came in a dish that was smaller than I give my 4 yr old grandson. (Boy, have I EVER been overeating). I usually sprinkle shredded cheese on my chili and a dollop (I like big dollops) of sour cream too. Pre-logging made it clear that I was not going to have neither, even in that bowl that I had to use a magnifying glass on LOL. You know that I don't much like the low cal foods such as veggies or fruits, so my portion sizes of the carby and fatty food is quite small.
I spread my meals out again today and I am actually getting ready for my dinner now. I didn't get any dancing in but I did find that my new TV has a SO MUCH EASIER way of pulling up youtube so I will be able to get fitness marshall on my big screen. I just have to pull my curtains and go for it! I pulled it up today just as my daughters boyfriend came in, so I surfed through the songs, navigated my new remote and talked to him awhile as she was upstairs getting ready. Later, I was just too busy with a project, but I'm thrilled that I will be able to use youtube for many things in a much simpler fashion, and ON THE BIG SCREEN. Yay! I saw the "shiver" video and if I am able, I will be doing that one tomorrow among others!
I know logging is the way to go. I just can't face my failures and log bad stuff. So, if I eat more than I can count, it will be a non-logging day. At least until I am stronger in my confidence and accepting that I am human, after all. It will come.
Hope you had loads of fun at the festival. Do you go alone or with a friend. Just wondering.....I don't travel like I used to (except out of town for shopping or supplies). I miss it so much but I just don't want to do it alone or just with my autistic son as he can't help me much. I really need to get out there and meet someone.......I'm almost ready. Maybe dropping a few pounds will boost my confidence too!1 -
Oh my gosh @Lilylady3k ... what a lot going on at once. Hope your son is improving.. wow! Thinking of you and your family.2

🔹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/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 1: Tues, 5/10: 216.5 No exercise. 1532 cal (-180 red), 66 net carbs, 1.5 glass wine. DH & I tested positive on Tuesday 5/3 for COVID19. We quarantined per CDC for 5 days. I was asymptomatic except for a headache the first day and then tested negative for Covid on Monday 5/9 so I’ve been cleared. DH still has flu like symptoms and tested positive on Mon. We are using the CUE system which is a PCR like test that DH’s company provided employees.
Day 2: Wed, 5/11: 216.4 Short walk .6 miles. 1725 cal (-346 red), 45 net carbs, 2 glass wine.
Day 3: Thurs, 5/12: 216.4 No exercise. Played with my 4 month old granddaughter instead 1631 cal (-330 red), 107 net carbs, 2 glass wine. Lunch at Mexican restaurant with DIL where we split fajitas making salads and neither of us at the rice, beans or tortillas. But of course we ate chips! Happy that the scale did not blow up on that minor splurge.
Day 4: Fri, 5/13: 218.4 Cancelled our trip. DH still has congestion and fatigue from his bout of COVID. My students from ESL class gave me a dozen beautiful roses No exercise. 1839 cal ( -507), 126 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Blew my focus on healthy eating … sabotaging myself with fried okra & cornbread for lunch and pizza at dinner! What am I thinking!
Day 5: Sat, 5/14: 217.3 Walk 3.2 miles. Why can’t I get back into the groove. I know my knee hurts but that is not excuse for skipping my strength class! 1562 cal (-73 green), 93 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not bad given that DH & I picked up lunch and took it over to our daughter today to check on her … she had the pregnancy blues. Made up for it with salmon with spinach & white beans easy light dinner.
1st Week Goal Weight: <215
1st Week Actual Weight: 217.3
1st Week Weight GAIN: .9
Success this week is that I actually journaled every bite and started walking a little again.
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 6: Sun, 5/15: 217.5 Walked 3.7 miles, trimmed bushes. 1624 cal (59 green), 91 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
Day 7: Mon, 5/16: 217.2 No exercise. Did not even wear my Apple Watch so no credit for steps either. 2518 cal (-1218 red), 164 net carbs, 2 glasses wine, 2 bourbon & diet cokes, THREE cupcakes! Did okay until DH asked for me to cook a dessert and I made something I liked too. Sent home most of the cupcakes with my kids after dinner. Thought about not completing my journal but then I didn’t want to get into bad habits so reporting in the mess of a day!
Day 8: Tues, 5/17: 219.2

Success with picking back up on my Strong & Fit classes again but my walking is still a struggle in the heat. My knee feels a little better and I think the lunges and squats are helping. However, I blew off journaling every bite because I was eating everything. That has to stop! Starting to journal again this morning.
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 13: Sun, 5/22: 218.4 Walked 2.6 to drop off library book instead of taking the car. 2041 cal (-397 red), 146 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Spent most of the day practicing both sketching and spanish.

Day 20: Sun, 5/29: DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 with my sister cleaning out mom’s house since she has an offer … mom will move into my smaller house next door if the sell goes through. Tons of stuff there as she loved shopping garage sales and it was my grandfathers before. The house has been in the family since 1954 and it grew organically with many additions and remodels over the years.
Managing my mother’s expectations and the entire situation has been really challenging and I’ve totally derailed on my weight loss journey losing all focus on myself.

Day 28: Mon, 6/6: 219.1 Walked 3.2 miles
Day 29: Tues, 6/7: DNW
Day 30: Wed, 6/8: 219.8 Walked .6 miles, Strength Training 1 hr. Heading in the wrong direction while eating cookies, Cheetos, and cornbread. Really need to clean up my eating habits and clear my mind of the junk that has me turning to comfort food. TODAY is a good day to start!
Day 31: Thurs, 6/9: 219.0 Walked .8 miles. My normal 3 mile walk was cut short by a call from my sister. She had an allergic reaction to the dye in her annual CT scan. So I turned around hurried home and picked her up. She came to my house to rest in bed till noon then felt better but still had a headache. She is the only one of our family that still has the symptoms (fatigue, drainage down the throat, etc) from Covid well over a month ago. She is also the one in the poorest health having had stage 4 breast cancer 15 years ago. She is fine but went to bed still with the headache last night.
Then after lunch my 37 weeks pregnant daughter calls. She lost her mucus plug with lots of blood, scared her, went home from work and called the doctor. So she too was resting with her feet up.
DH & I babysat my granddaughter at their house while the parents had a movie & sushi date night
More calls and setting up viewings of my mom’s home.
Overall I’m not sure where the day went but I accomplished nothing on my todo list! I also didn’t snack!
Day 32: Fri, 6/10: DNW Walked 1 mile, Strength Training 1 hr.
Day 33: Sat, 6/11: 219.0 No Exercise. Busy day but lazy and did not join my Strength Training class.

Day 34: Sun, 6/12: 220.1 Walked 4 miles. Wrong direction! Do NOT like seeing that number. When am I going to start focusing on me? Problem last few nights … Asleep before 10pm but I’m up and totally awake around 3-4 which is not healthy for me. So many things running through my mind that I have no control over … selling my mom’s house, my daughter is due any day, caring for my son’s dogs this weekend. At least I did get out and walk the dogs! Caught up the laundry, grocery shopped, menu planned. Today I’ll focus on me myself and I.
Day 35: Mon, 6/13: 219.0 Walked 3 miles. Much of what I did today was again for the sell of my mom’s home following up with the buyer and their questions after the inspection on Friday. BUT I did walk, wash my hair, file my nails, color a mosaic mandala, read and cooked 3 new meals (breakfast lunch & dinner). Baby steps focusing on me.
Day 36: Tues, 6/14: 219.2 Walked 3.2 miles. WAY TOO MUCH snacking through stress today. Attended morning spanish class, afternoon sketching class (I’m definitely the amateur!), evening spanish assessment for another M & W evening class with DH, many calls and scheduling for my mom’s house, lots of interruptions while in classes.
ALSO my daughter started having minor contractions but no baby movement … they went to the hospital to make sure the baby was okay and were sent home to continue the early labor after finding the baby’s strong heartbeat and the monitor recognizing more contractions that my daughter was feeling. She thought they were 10 min apart but they were 6 min apart, 2cc dilated, 80% effaced. Exciting that their baby due July 1 with a scheduled inducement for June 23 will likely be earlier than expected. Good news because they are having what the doctor predicts as a big baby.
Day 37: Wed, 6/15: 220.4 Strength Training Class 1 hr. I’m on watch for grand baby #2! DD has had what the hospital Monday evening called labor contractions (not Braxton Hicks) regularly about 6 min apart but not long enough or strong enough to keep her there. So yesterday she decided not to go into work and joined me in visiting my granddaughter and DIL. We helped out since my son is out of town this week working. My DIL asked if I could babysit so she could go grocery shopping and prep cook for her sister’s bachelorette party this weekend. It was a fun day. Did not stay into the evening like I originally planned since DD wanted to go home and rest. But all in all I ended up with 2 restaurant meals and snacks and the scale shows that I’m not on point and focused.
Day 38: Thurs, 6/16: 220.4 Walked 3 miles.
Day 39: Fri, 6/17: 220.2 Strength Training 1 hr
Day 40: Sat, 6/18: 219.2 Walked 3+ .6 miles

Day 41: Sun, 6/19: 219.2 Walked 1.5 miles but my son’s dog laid down at least 2x because he is not use to walking. 6mo old very large Doberman. DH did the normal 3 mile walk with our dog.
Day 42: Mon, 6/20: 219.7 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog … this is very challenging. In addition, he is pulling up my plants in the back yard!!! Looks like my son will not be out of the hospital until mid week and has follow up with surgeon on Friday. Hopefully he is able to fly home this weekend and then we’ll need to return his dog to Austin.

Log it all, good bad or ugly.
Sour cream actually doesn't have that many calories. I found that out when I began measuring and logging everything. I use 1/2 the fat Hellmans for mayo now, it tastes the same I feel. 2 tbsp with a can of tuna and I eat half of it.
I get what you are saying about portions. We North Americans eat way more than our bodies can handle.
Do you keep fruits and vegetables around for your DGS to get him used to healthy food options? Are you keeping him at your house indefinitely?
What is the status of your kitchen now?
Yes yes to being able to do Fitness Marshall on a big screen! I also figured that out and it is awesome. Mostly I grab quick workouts just on my phone at work when there are no customers. Pretty small.
Shivers is a good one : - )2 -

Day 40…..06/18…..205.2…..(Trend weight 204.8)
Day 41…..06/19…..203.0…..(Trend weight 204.7) A big drop overnight. I have to wonder how much my puff ups are from water retention based on the heart issues and how much the drops are from the water pill. I take the water pill about every other day except when traveling (for obvious reasons.). I’m going to be tracking this trend. I did take one yesterday. On another note, yesterday was a great day. My glucose drops tend to come more in the evening or at night so I delayed my meals all day. Breakfast at 11:30 am, lunch at 5:00 pm and dinner at 10:30 pm. I hated to eat that late (due to morning weigh-ins) but it seems to have worked. No drop last night and satisfied most of the day. I even fit in some exercise. About 17 min of aerobic dancing, a short 15 minute walk with inclines and stationary bike for 10 minutes. Keeping it safe until I know more about the heart situation, but it’s a start!
Day 42…..06/20…..204.0…..(Trend weight 204.6) This has been my best week in a long time as far as determination goes. I dropped 1.6 lbs, but more importantly, my resolve has been pretty good. I am navigating what is working best for me. In the past I have done strict Keto and changing over to calories in/calories out with a watchful eye on my carb intake is definitely different, but I’m figuring it all out. I am also focusing on spreading my food out better to prevent night time binges, and eating slower. I have been treating all my food like it’s popcorn (you know how we stuff our mouths full?). Eating is not a race and who gets done first should have stopped by the end of grammar school! I ate back my calories of exercise last night and I see what happened with the scale, even though I was in the green. Learning……

@dawnbgethealthy
My dgs age 4 is here from Thurs evening until Sun evening each week, then he is with his Dad. My DD and him have different days off so they make it work. I babysit on Fridays, and sometimes Saturdays (if she is called in for overtime). My daughter and him both eat very very healthy. They love all the salads and asparagus and broccoli and all the raw veggies as snacks. We limit his red dye and his sugar otherwise he is just too hyper.
I have always cooked very healthy for my husband(s) and children and they eat lots of plant-based foods. When they were growing up we kept a veggie garden and lots of fruit trees in the yard. My disorders in regards to plant based foods started when I was a child. My mom says I was born with it, it even affected my baby food.
Kitchen is coming very slow. The new handyman shows up when he likes, but forgets to call if he's delayed or not coming. And he doesn't answer phones or texts. Then he either pops in at a weird time or doesn't come at all. This past week he worked only 3 hours total but was over several times. This is very typical for my area. Not much skilled labor and those who can just won't. It's very frustrating. He is finally here today (I waited for him all weekend!). He probably won't stay long. He is scheduled to work on cabinets in kitchen, then tear the bottom of a shower apart that is leaking and needs a membrane on the bottom. That involves ripping out tile and re-sloping and re-tiling too. He also has a bay window install in the dining area of the kitchen on the agenda. He has already ripped the drywall off around it, then......nothing. Praying that he will just get a burst of energy and get something done! The bay window will give me two working windows with screens for some air circulation. And it will be pretty too and will likely make the room feel wider which is needed badly. Home Depot is coming out on the 28th to do a template for the new Corian style countertops custom made. It is just as expensive as the granite and other stones but I will be able to get the without the two corner seams (my kitchen is u shaped so there would be a seam to the left and right corners of the sink side). The tiny little counter with a cutout for stove and sink will be almost $4000.00 and that is with my own sink (not built in corian because of well water), and my handyman having the old counters removed and the plumbing unhooked before the install. They force the install by their company because it is custom so that is built into the cost. Home Depot uses a sub-contractor for the job. If I get a chance I will take a pic of the materials and post it. My appliances are (used) stainless steel. It really will be very pretty when it's done. I just wish I had the space to make it bigger.
Tomorrow I travel for the finishing of the root canal (as long as tooth is not cracked down inside). I am taking my son out with me and we will have a nice meal between lunch and dinner. That is my bribe for him to go with me and socially, it is very good for him and important in his advancement. There were those years when he could not go into the restaurants because he had horrible gag reflex because of the smells of the foods, he could not tolerate most restaurant lighting, and he certainly could not handle the noise of people talking all at once at various tables. He's come so far! He still needs some help (and practice) cutting up his foods in public properly etc. We are working on it. I will try to choose something smart and I will not go to the donut shop and bring anything home, even at the end of the day when they are half off. I am committed!

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 1: Tues, 5/10: 216.5 No exercise. 1532 cal (-180 red), 66 net carbs, 1.5 glass wine. DH & I tested positive on Tuesday 5/3 for COVID19. We quarantined per CDC for 5 days. I was asymptomatic except for a headache the first day and then tested negative for Covid on Monday 5/9 so I’ve been cleared. DH still has flu like symptoms and tested positive on Mon. We are using the CUE system which is a PCR like test that DH’s company provided employees.
Day 2: Wed, 5/11: 216.4 Short walk .6 miles. 1725 cal (-346 red), 45 net carbs, 2 glass wine.
Day 3: Thurs, 5/12: 216.4 No exercise. Played with my 4 month old granddaughter instead 1631 cal (-330 red), 107 net carbs, 2 glass wine. Lunch at Mexican restaurant with DIL where we split fajitas making salads and neither of us at the rice, beans or tortillas. But of course we ate chips! Happy that the scale did not blow up on that minor splurge.
Day 4: Fri, 5/13: 218.4 Cancelled our trip. DH still has congestion and fatigue from his bout of COVID. My students from ESL class gave me a dozen beautiful roses No exercise. 1839 cal ( -507), 126 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Blew my focus on healthy eating … sabotaging myself with fried okra & cornbread for lunch and pizza at dinner! What am I thinking!
Day 5: Sat, 5/14: 217.3 Walk 3.2 miles. Why can’t I get back into the groove. I know my knee hurts but that is not excuse for skipping my strength class! 1562 cal (-73 green), 93 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not bad given that DH & I picked up lunch and took it over to our daughter today to check on her … she had the pregnancy blues. Made up for it with salmon with spinach & white beans easy light dinner.

Did okay until DH asked for me to cook a dessert and I made something I liked too. Sent home most of the cupcakes with my kids after dinner. Thought about not completing my journal but then I didn’t want to get into bad habits so reporting in the mess of a day!

Success with picking back up on my Strong & Fit classes again but my walking is still a struggle in the heat. My knee feels a little better and I think the lunges and squats are helping. However, I blew off journaling every bite because I was eating everything. That has to stop! Starting to journal again this morning.

Day 13: Sun, 5/22: 218.4 Walked 2.6 to drop off library book instead of taking the car. 2041 cal (-397 red), 146 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Spent most of the day practicing both sketching and spanish.
Day 14: Mon, 5/23: 219.5 Walk 1.25 miles. 1701 cal (-227 red), 132 net carbs, AF. Pancakes for breakfast and hamburger w/ tater tots for dinner blew up my carb count for the day.

Day 20: Sun, 5/29: DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 with my sister cleaning out mom’s house since she has an offer … mom will move into my smaller house next door if the sell goes through. Tons of stuff there as she loved shopping garage sales and it was my grandfathers before. The house has been in the family since 1954 and it grew organically with many additions and remodels over the years.
Managing my mother’s expectations and the entire situation has been really challenging and I’ve totally derailed on my weight loss journey losing all focus on myself.

Day 30: Wed, 6/8: 219.8 Walked .6 miles, Strength Training 1 hr. Heading in the wrong direction while eating cookies, Cheetos, and cornbread. Really need to clean up my eating habits and clear my mind of the junk that has me turning to comfort food. TODAY is a good day to start!
Day 31: Thurs, 6/9: 219.0 Walked .8 miles. My normal 3 mile walk was cut short by a call from my sister. She had an allergic reaction to the dye in her annual CT scan. So I turned around hurried home and picked her up. She came to my house to rest in bed till noon then felt better but still had a headache. She is the only one of our family that still has the symptoms (fatigue, drainage down the throat, etc) from Covid well over a month ago. She is also the one in the poorest health having had stage 4 breast cancer 15 years ago. She is fine but went to bed still with the headache last night.
Then after lunch my 37 weeks pregnant daughter calls. She lost her mucus plug with lots of blood, scared her, went home from work and called the doctor. So she too was resting with her feet up.
DH & I babysat my granddaughter at their house while the parents had a movie & sushi date night
More calls and setting up viewings of my mom’s home.
Overall I’m not sure where the day went but I accomplished nothing on my todo list! I also didn’t snack!
Day 32: Fri, 6/10: DNW Walked 1 mile, Strength Training 1 hr.
Day 33: Sat, 6/11: 219.0 No Exercise. Busy day but lazy and did not join my Strength Training class.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 34: Sun, 6/12: 220.1 Walked 4 miles. Wrong direction! Do NOT like seeing that number. When am I going to start focusing on me? Problem last few nights … Asleep before 10pm but I’m up and totally awake around 3-4 which is not healthy for me. So many things running through my mind that I have no control over … selling my mom’s house, my daughter is due any day, caring for my son’s dogs this weekend. At least I did get out and walk the dogs! Caught up the laundry, grocery shopped, menu planned. Today I’ll focus on me myself and I.
Day 35: Mon, 6/13: 219.0 Walked 3 miles. Much of what I did today was again for the sell of my mom’s home following up with the buyer and their questions after the inspection on Friday. BUT I did walk, wash my hair, file my nails, color a mosaic mandala, read and cooked 3 new meals (breakfast lunch & dinner). Baby steps focusing on me.
Day 36: Tues, 6/14: 219.2 Walked 3.2 miles. WAY TOO MUCH snacking through stress today. Attended morning spanish class, afternoon sketching class (I’m definitely the amateur!), evening spanish assessment for another M & W evening class with DH, many calls and scheduling for my mom’s house, lots of interruptions while in classes.
ALSO my daughter started having minor contractions but no baby movement … they went to the hospital to make sure the baby was okay and were sent home to continue the early labor after finding the baby’s strong heartbeat and the monitor recognizing more contractions that my daughter was feeling. She thought they were 10 min apart but they were 6 min apart, 2cc dilated, 80% effaced. Exciting that their baby due July 1 with a scheduled inducement for June 23 will likely be earlier than expected. Good news because they are having what the doctor predicts as a big baby.
Day 37: Wed, 6/15: 220.4 Strength Training Class 1 hr. I’m on watch for grand baby #2! DD has had what the hospital Monday evening called labor contractions (not Braxton Hicks) regularly about 6 min apart but not long enough or strong enough to keep her there. So yesterday she decided not to go into work and joined me in visiting my granddaughter and DIL. We helped out since my son is out of town this week working. My DIL asked if I could babysit so she could go grocery shopping and prep cook for her sister’s bachelorette party this weekend. It was a fun day. Did not stay into the evening like I originally planned since DD wanted to go home and rest. But all in all I ended up with 2 restaurant meals and snacks and the scale shows that I’m not on point and focused.
Day 38: Thurs, 6/16: 220.4 Walked 3 miles.
Day 39: Fri, 6/17: 220.2 Strength Training 1 hr

Day 41: Sun, 6/19: 219.2 Walked 1.5 miles but my son’s dog laid down at least 2x because he is not use to walking. 6mo old very large Doberman. DH did the normal 3 mile walk with our dog.
Day 42: Mon, 6/20: 219.7 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog … this is very challenging. In addition, he is pulling up my plants in the back yard!!! Looks like my son will not be out of the hospital until mid week and has follow up with surgeon on Friday. Hopefully he is able to fly home this weekend and then we’ll need to return his dog to Austin.

Made a big decision ... I've taken too much on this summer and the stress is self imposed regarding some things. Learning Spanish being one. So I've dropped the Mon & Wed evening classes after skipping all my day time Monday leisure classes.
1. Working through renegotiating mom's sale of her house; trying to get agreement on the owner finance promissory note.
2. Ordering internet, trash, mowing, etc for the house since before we relied on or had them tied to my mom's house for these services.
3. Advising her on what to get rid of and what I want to keep in my camp house since I can't make it down there before she closes so that she can move her stuff in. Let's say we don't agree on everything and leave it at that.
4. Taking time to talk to my pregnant DD who is bored but can't drive anywhere. She's scheduled to go into the hospital on Wednesday night to be induced.
5. Keeping up with my son's progress ... he was well enough to be released from the hospital!! YEAH! They cannot fly home until Sunday since they need to let him get stronger for the journey as well as he has an appt with the surgeon on Friday.
6. Caring for my son's 6 mo old very large 60+ lb puppy that seems to like to eat furniture and carpets 🤷♀️
I seem to be too busy to focus on me but this will pass. I see relief after the closing on June 28, my sister returns from her vacation and plans to go help my mom Thursday for a week, DD has her baby (which yes I will be helping a lot but that is goodness for a couple of weeks), my son will fly back to Austin and we can return his puppy that we have to watch like a hawk!4 -

Day 41…..06/19…..203.0…..(Trend weight 204.7) A big drop overnight. I have to wonder how much my puff ups are from water retention based on the heart issues and how much the drops are from the water pill. I take the water pill about every other day except when traveling (for obvious reasons.). I’m going to be tracking this trend. I did take one yesterday. On another note, yesterday was a great day. My glucose drops tend to come more in the evening or at night so I delayed my meals all day. Breakfast at 11:30 am, lunch at 5:00 pm and dinner at 10:30 pm. I hated to eat that late (due to morning weigh-ins) but it seems to have worked. No drop last night and satisfied most of the day. I even fit in some exercise. About 17 min of aerobic dancing, a short 15 minute walk with inclines and stationary bike for 10 minutes. Keeping it safe until I know more about the heart situation, but it’s a start!
Day 42…..06/20…..204.0…..(Trend weight 204.6) This has been my best week in a long time as far as determination goes. I dropped 1.6 lbs, but more importantly, my resolve has been pretty good. I am navigating what is working best for me. In the past I have done strict Keto and changing over to calories in/calories out with a watchful eye on my carb intake is definitely different, but I’m figuring it all out. I am also focusing on spreading my food out better to prevent night time binges, and eating slower. I have been treating all my food like it’s popcorn (you know how we stuff our mouths full?). Eating is not a race and who gets done first should have stopped by the end of grammar school! I ate back my calories of exercise last night and I see what happened with the scale, even though I was in the green. Learning……

Day 43…..06/21…..202.2…..(Trend weight 204.4) No water pill yesterday so I am happy to see such a nice overnight drop after a day of such restriction. It was a very good day on the diet front, but lousy on the movement front. Today I travel to finish the root canal (if tooth is not cracked down inside). It is expected to hit 100 degrees today, very unusual for northern Michigan. Thank God I will be out of town where there will be A/C in the drs office, the stores, the restaurant and in my car. I am taking my son to a steak house which is a real treat for us. Nothing like that around home! I will try to order something small but I’m not gonna lie, I know I will enjoy the sides. I will not be bring donuts home! The city I go to has the best…… oh, never mind!

@Lilylady3k Such stress hope you can fit in some time to 'meditate' maybe with a great tea, breathing, small walk or a great massage!! For me stress creeps in and brings snacks, I have to be aware of that.3

@Lilylady3k So happy to hear about your son! I imagine you'll be so relieved when he makes it home.3

I am Dawn. 61yrs old, 5'2"
Ideal healthy body weight for my stats is 112. Many rounds away from that, and quite honestly I would be happy to get to 118 some day.
I would really like to lose 7 pounds this round.
I lost 1.8 pounds the last 100, which was a departure from gaining in the last 4 of them.
1st Week Goal Weight: 135.0
1st Week Actual Weight: 138.8
Excess calories burned (in the green): Shorter week, 1874, which only averages to 372.8 per day, less than usual
2nd Week Goal Weight: 135.0 - seems ambitious.
2nd Week Actual Weight: No idea, wonky scale on holiday with me read 48 pounds
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5167 - very happy with that.
3rd Week Goal Weight: N/A
3rd Week Actual Weight: 138.3 - had Ribs this week
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3976. Even after having a RED from Ribs, I still averaged 568 per day overall.
4th Week Goal Weight: 136.1
4th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3568 - Not as much as usual, and it is reflected in my weight.
5th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
5th Week Actual Weight: 139.4 - lunch out contributed to this gain.
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4477 - 639.5 daily average
6th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5751 - That averaged out to 821.5 per day - a few very heavy calorie burn days toiling in the yard.
Day 41: Sun, 6/19: - 138.1 - I will be going out to dinner tomorrow night so am going to try to mitigate that with low calories and lots of activity today and tomorrow.
Day 42: Mon, 6/20: Somehow lost the post from that day.
Day 43: Tues, 6/21: 139.7 - Expected after dinner out. It is rare that I do that, but all good, I am okay with the gain.
