    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Starting Weight : 202.8
    Goal: 197.8 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************

    07/01…...202.8…..(Trend Weight 203.0)…..
    07/02.…..202.6…..(Trend Weight 203.2)…..
    07/03.…..204.6…..(Trend Weight 203.4}…..

    07/08.…..201.8…..(Trend Weight 203.2)…..
    07/09.…..199.6…..(Trend Weight 202.9)…..

    07/10.…..198.4…..(Trend Weight 202.5)….. Watched calories carefully since I’m not getting in a lot of movement or exercise with this Covid virus. Appetite is good. I can still taste and smell. Very tired, not sleeping well and the worst part is the phlegm that causes such coughing. Throat getting rough . Feels more like pneumonia than anything, but I’ll wait and see how it is after day 5 is over. It’s far to a hospital for X-rays. Weight still coming down. I’m really trying to work on it. Spacing my meals out and leaving enough calories for a snack is key.

    07/11.…..195.6…..(Trend Weight 201.8)….. I went over calories in the red by 45 calories last night for the day, so before closing out I did some mild exercise that would not greatly affect my covid symptoms. I did a 6 minute slow walk around my rural back yard and then I did some stretching inside so I could get back in the green. I’m following my diet very well. Scale is catching up to efforts I think. No waterpill yesterday but still a drop. It’s funny……you get Covid and EVERYONE runs for the hills (as they should). But without all that influence, no daughter bringing home treats, no friend inviting you to dinner, no travel that includes restaurants, no holiday meals or social invites, no shopping for treats for grandson that you poke at too, etc. etc. it’s amazing how much faster you lose weight. If I had no social life…….. well, no, that would not be better I suppose. Anyway, clearly I’ve learned the meal prep, planning secrets, etc. Clearly I’ve learned what’s expected of me. It’s my response to the holidays, the social gatherings, etc. that are my weakness. I am stronger than I think when I’m locked in a box full of food and no one is here, but knowledge is power and I know I need to be just as strong when I’m with people who eat, eat eat.

    Heaviest weight: 293 (1/28/21)
    Current weight (Jul 1): 163.4

    Daily Focus:
    🌼 stay in maintenance range (160-165)

    July 1 - 163.4 (Happy Canada Day! Work gave us a four day weekend. My husband and I came up to the lake last night. Sun is shining!)
    July 2 - 162 (We got a 60 minute walk in yesterday in the heat and had a few drinks to celebrate Canada Day. Night was cut short as we had a huge thunderstorm and the Internet was so bad inside because everyone was in their trailers so we went to bed early and had a great restorative sleep.)
    July 3 - 165.2 (Up early and back home as we have a 75th birthday brunch to attend. Later today we also have dinner out with friends.)
    July 4 - 164 (Happy 4th of July to all the Americans! Our work gave us a four day weekend for Canada Day so I was still off today. I did two Peloton rides and a 5 mile walk and food stop with my husband and dog... so much fun but I am wiped. Need to do some housework now.)
    July 5 - 164 (Busy work day but I got away at lunch for a walk with my husband. After supper and some TV we went out for another walk with our dog. Lots of steps again today.)
    July 6 - 164.6 (Didn't sleep as long as I wanted. Started with a good filling breakfast. Will get my 10K steps today and hopefully ride the Peloton too.)
    July 7 - 164.4 (Had my long ride on the Peloton last night. Today I hope to get back on the bike but I also need to finish getting my house ready for my company tomorrow.)
    July 8 - 163.4 (Started my day with the Stampede Parade and a breakfast. The sun is shining and our city has come alive. I worked this afternoon and tonight we are laying low because my husband is in a 160 KM Gran Fondo bike race tomorrow that we're up early for.)
    July 9 - 163 (Up early as my husband is in a Gran Fondo bike race today. I am hanging out in beautiful Longview, Alberta waiting for him. Will try to walk and get some steps while I wait.)
    July 10 - 161.2 (Today I want to do two Peloton rides, get a walk in, and then we go out for supper in downtown Calgary with friends.)
    July 11 - 160.8 (Amazing dinner out last night at the top rated new restaurant in Canada according to a recently issued list. I had gotten a lot of of exercise and planned for it so the scale was kind to me this morning. This afternoon I have a party at a corporate tent for Stampede and then we go to the grounds for a concert. Will be a late night and my exercise will all be getting my steps.)
    July 12 - 161.8 (Busy day to navigate yesterday. Worked from the office, went to a tent party for Stampede at 3, and then we went to the grounds for a concert. Didn't get home and in bed until midnight. Had one food choice I made for a cost savings reason than my waistline - you live you learn.)

    I learned a little quirky thing when weighing myself. Sometimes I’m just a touch heavier in the morning, but after a workout or even just a shower, I’m lighter by a hair. o.0 I’ve noticed it for a couple days. I’ve been meeting my water intake, so I wonder if it’s my water weight shifting or something. 🤔

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Starting Weight : 202.8
    Goal: 197.8 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************

    07/01…...202.8…..(Trend Weight 203.0)…..
    07/02.…..202.6…..(Trend Weight 203.2)…..
    07/03.…..204.6…..(Trend Weight 203.4}…..
    07/04.…..203.6…..(Trend Weight 203.4)…..
    07/05.…..205.0…..(Trend Weight 203.6)…..
    07/06.…..203.2…..(Trend Weight 203.6)…..
    07/07.…..202.0…..(Trend Weight 203.4)…..
    07/08.…..201.8…..(Trend Weight 203.2)…..
    07/09.…..199.6…..(Trend Weight 202.9)…..
    07/10.…..198.4…..(Trend Weight 202.5)…..
    07/11.…..195.6…..(Trend Weight 201.8)…..

    07/12.…..196.6…..(Trend Weight 201.3 )….. No reason for the gain whatsoever except possibly sodium. Yesterday I decided to trade out my fiber count for sodium count on my MFP diary and boy was it an eye opener! I didn’t realize how much sodium is in things. Mine was way over and the main culprit was cottage cheese? Yikes….So there may be some retention today showing up. I may try an at-home test this evening to see if I still test positive for Covid. I have been sick for 5 full days including day 0 (Thursday). Still getting some phlegm but a lot less coughing. Overall, feeling a bit better, just a bit weak and dizzy at times still. Hard to tell the difference between the actual Covid right now, and the body that is fighting to get back to normal. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and doing things. I’ve just got to stay on target and not let the social stuff sway me. Don’t buckle Donna! It’s always YOU who decides what you poke into your piehole!

    07/13.…..197.0…..(Trend Weight 200.8)….. Another reading in the wrong direction. I have no idea why except all of this must be related to Covid. Maybe I’m on the mend soon? Yesterday I tried a little fasting but was careful to eat when I felt the glucose slightly dropping. I ended up under 1100 calories. Still not much exercise but meals were small and carefully chosen. Lack of exercise doesn’t let me burn off what I’ve eaten so maybe that is the answer? Anyway, I’m going forward with a positive attitude. I think I am firmly in Onederland with or without the virus. I’ve just got to trust the process. It has been a long time since I have been able to go this many days in a row following my diet without interruption of travel (or anything else). I’ll admit that a time or two I wanted to comfort myself after the covid diagnosis with food because “I deserve it”. But then, I quickly realized that what I really deserve is to be healthy and happy and not trapped in a sick, old, weak, tired body. I’ve been working hard on this and being sick has given me the time to focus on myself. Dieting is never easy but I’ve kept my resolve strong, worked through the cravings and planned for the hunger.

    @deepwoodslady Im so glad to hear you are starting to feel a little better. I look forward to your posts everyday because they are so colorful and you seem like such a good human who is fighting the good fight up there in Northern Michigan! I am also living vicariously through you in Onederland! I hope to be there by Christmas, but we'll see, I have 25 pounds to go. Thank you for pointing out the sodium in cottage cheese. I eat it everyday and although I am not above my sodium goal and I eat the reduced fat kind I am going to back off for a few days and see what happens. I love to eat it with fresh chives! Hang in there!

    Heaviest weight: 293 (1/28/21)
    Current weight (Jul 1): 163.4

    Daily Focus:
    🌼 stay in maintenance range (160-165)

    July 1 - 163.4 (Happy Canada Day! Work gave us a four day weekend. My husband and I came up to the lake last night. Sun is shining!)
    July 2 - 162 (We got a 60 minute walk in yesterday in the heat and had a few drinks to celebrate Canada Day. Night was cut short as we had a huge thunderstorm and the Internet was so bad inside because everyone was in their trailers so we went to bed early and had a great restorative sleep.)
    July 3 - 165.2 (Up early and back home as we have a 75th birthday brunch to attend. Later today we also have dinner out with friends.)
    July 4 - 164 (Happy 4th of July to all the Americans! Our work gave us a four day weekend for Canada Day so I was still off today. I did two Peloton rides and a 5 mile walk and food stop with my husband and dog... so much fun but I am wiped. Need to do some housework now.)
    July 5 - 164 (Busy work day but I got away at lunch for a walk with my husband. After supper and some TV we went out for another walk with our dog. Lots of steps again today.)
    July 6 - 164.6 (Didn't sleep as long as I wanted. Started with a good filling breakfast. Will get my 10K steps today and hopefully ride the Peloton too.)
    July 7 - 164.4 (Had my long ride on the Peloton last night. Today I hope to get back on the bike but I also need to finish getting my house ready for my company tomorrow.)
    July 8 - 163.4 (Started my day with the Stampede Parade and a breakfast. The sun is shining and our city has come alive. I worked this afternoon and tonight we are laying low because my husband is in a 160 KM Gran Fondo bike race tomorrow that we're up early for.)
    July 9 - 163 (Up early as my husband is in a Gran Fondo bike race today. I am hanging out in beautiful Longview, Alberta waiting for him. Will try to walk and get some steps while I wait.)
    July 10 - 161.2 (Today I want to do two Peloton rides, get a walk in, and then we go out for supper in downtown Calgary with friends.)
    July 11 - 160.8 (Amazing dinner out last night at the top rated new restaurant in Canada according to a recently issued list. I had gotten a lot of of exercise and planned for it so the scale was kind to me this morning. This afternoon I have a party at a corporate tent for Stampede and then we go to the grounds for a concert. Will be a late night and my exercise will all be getting my steps.)
    July 12 - 161.8 (Busy day to navigate yesterday. Worked from the office, went to a tent party for Stampede at 3, and then we went to the grounds for a concert. Didn't get home and in bed until midnight. Had one food choice I made for a cost savings reason than my waistline - you live you learn.)
    July 13 - 161.2 (Kept indulgences to a minimum at my work party yesterday so I was in good shape to come home and ride the Peloton.)
    July 14 - 160.8 (A work lunch, corporate tent, Peloton ride, and long walk with my husband were all highlights of the day.)

    July 2…219.7… yep, I knew yesterday’s weight was a gift. Logging is feeling better. It’s my accountability time. Reminder that I just have to watch portions and eat more veggies.

    July 13…220.6…went to the doctor today because my mini migraines are getting more frequent. He ran some blood tests and said that I’m anemic and need more iron, vitamin D and B12. He also reiterated that I need to get back to eating more veggies, fruits, and lean meats. This is the kick in the pants that I needed to get back to moving 30 minutes each day and back to food prep.

    July 14…220.6 getting healthier groceries today… and cutting the grass. It’s absolutely beautiful this morning, so it’s time to get things going. Have a terrific Thursday!
