    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 15 - 162.8
    July 16 - 166.4 (Didn't get time to check in yesterday.. it was midnight before I got home and I was exhausted. Had my final workday corporate event and then we met up with a friend at the Stampede grounds for two concerts. Another day of over 20,000 steps.)
    July 17 - DNW (I always bring my scale to the lake but I forgot. Yesterday we went for a nice long walk around our park and met my 10,000 step goal.)
    July 18 - 163.8 (Saw Elvis after work tonight. We are off to Ontario tomorrow to visit Brad's family and have a summer break there.)
    July 19 - 165.8 (At the airport for a flight to Toronto today. We are gone until the 31st so unless there's a random scale around, this will be my last weigh-in for the month. I'll still be checking in!)
    July 20 - DNW (Full day at Canada's Wonderland today. I love rides! Love that I can fit in everything no problem now.)
    July 21 - DNW (Sick again and it's changed our vacation plans a bit. My husband found us a nice comfortable suite style hotel for me to recover at.)
    July 22 - DNW (Feeling pretty good. Had a very restorative sleep. We ordered Skip The Dishes in last night and I definitely overdid it. Got swept up in the moment.)
    July 23 - DNW (Gotten in some good naps and rest. Also went for a couple long walks and did over 20,000 steps.)
    July 24 - DNW (Didn't quite hit 20,000 steps.. but close. Lots of indulgent food but some good choices too. I feel satisfied with how the day went.)

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    07/24-199.6-(Trend Weight 199.8)- I was perfectly within calorie and carb limits yesterday. A large amount of calorie burn. Closed all my circles on fitbit in a great way. My sodium was high due to the Chinese leftovers. Still one serving to go on that. This must be fluid retention. Traveling today for some wedding decorating supplies so lunch will be out. The last of the Chinese will probably be later tonight for dinner so I don’t expect tomorrow’s weight will be very good. I really don’t feel firmly planted in new decades unless it ends in a 7. I hope to hit 197 this week so I will feel confident on the fluctuations and fluid retention days.

    July 1-157.4 lbs- My weight has been a SEESAW since 2/1/22. Up, down, up, down. Had a low in April of 147.6 lbs and have been fluctuating in about 13 lb range from that. Very Disheartening.
    July 2-160.4 lbs :-( I did eat too many carbs yesterday but was way below my allotted calories with my exercise and not enough extra calories to gain 3 lbs! Has to be water weight. Did 232 minutes on my Elliptical for 15.21 miles this AM. Then did 5 sets of 20 reps of 90+ lbs on the leg press. Also did some Lat pull downs and bicep work on the double cable system and some bicep curls and tri-cep kickbacks with dumbbells. It's about time I use some of this equipment available in my basement again!
    July 3-160.4 lbs :-( Did 186 minutes on the elliptical for 13.25 miles. Did 5 sets of 20 on the leg press, 90 lbs and did 10 lb bicep curls and tri kick backs.
    July 4…158.8 lbs Happy 4th of July! 🎆🎇 At least it's moving in the right direction. I did 190 minutes on the Elliptical for 13.76 miles this AM. Also did Leg presses, 5 sets of 20 @ 100+ lbs today. (Don't know how much the incline sled weighs. It's also a angled shoulder/squat press too) Used the double cable pulley system for Lat pull downs 2 sets of 10 with 50 lbs. And double bicep curls, 2 sets of 10 with 50 lbs, then 2 sets of 10 bicep dumbbell curls with 10 lbs and same number of sets with Tri-cep kickbacks with the same dumbbell. Need to add to my repertoire. Need to cut the grass today. Off tomorrow yet. Nice break from work. And getting extra workouts in.

    July 5-158.8 lbs I did 190 minutes on the Elliptical for 13.6 miles this AM. Also did Leg presses, 5 sets of 20 @ 100+ lbs today. (Don't know how much the incline sled weighs. It's also a angled shoulder/squat press too) Used the double cable pulley system for Lat pull downs 2 sets of 20 with 50 lbs. And double bicep curls, 2 sets of 20 with 50 lbs, then 2 sets of 20 bicep dumbbell curls with 10 lbs and same number of sets with Tri-cep kickbacks with the same dumbbell. Nice 5 day break from work. And got extra workouts in. Back to work tomorrow. Then off Friday and Sunday.

    Been MIA for awhile from the threads but continue to log in daily & exercise 3x/week on my off days, as I had been. I have been indulging too much in carbs as you will notice in my weights. :-(

    July 24-167 lbs :-( 221 minutes on the Elliptical for 17.62 miles. After I finished the last hour of a movie I was watching a few days ago, I watched a scifi action movie and it seemed to help make me pick up my pace from my usual. :-) 12.5 minute/miles. Also increased some of my weight lifting. Leg press angled sled 5 sets of 20 @ 100#, Cable system Lat pull downs 3 sets of 20 @ 60#, Cable system standing row 2 sets of 20 @ 60#, dumbbell curls 2 sets of 20 @ 10# and tricep kickbacks 2 sets of 20 @ 10#.

    07/25-203.2-(Trend Weight 200.2)- Over 3 ½ pound gain overnight? Yikes! Tons of sodium yesterday in all 3 meals/travel. I took a magnesium supplement last night because of the bloat, so this weight is after a TMI (finally). I honestly don’t know what is going on with anything since covid. The glucose is wonky, the weight has been wonky and my blood pressure is wonky. Who knows what other things would show in bloodwork? Long Covid is real folks and I may be experiencing it according to the doctor. Ugh! Travel again this week tomorrow and Thursday so I may post extra early or extra late. Tomorrow is the CTA test on the heart at the hospital. This will look for blockages in the heart and is in lieu of a heart cath which is more invasive. Thurs I see cardiologist for the results of all this testing this past month, and the plan. I am enjoying all of your posts and love to see the successes!

    July 1-157.4 lbs- My weight has been a SEESAW since 2/1/22. Up, down, up, down. Had a low in April of 147.6 lbs and have been fluctuating in about 13 lb range from that. Very Disheartening.
    July 2-160.4 lbs :-( I did eat too many carbs yesterday but was way below my allotted calories with my exercise and not enough extra calories to gain 3 lbs! Has to be water weight. Did 232 minutes on my Elliptical for 15.21 miles this AM. Then did 5 sets of 20 reps of 90+ lbs on the leg press. Also did some Lat pull downs and bicep work on the double cable system and some bicep curls and tri-cep kickbacks with dumbbells. It's about time I use some of this equipment available in my basement again!
    July 3-160.4 lbs :-( Did 186 minutes on the elliptical for 13.25 miles. Did 5 sets of 20 on the leg press, 90 lbs and did 10 lb bicep curls and tri kick backs.
    July 4…158.8 lbs Happy 4th of July! 🎆🎇 At least it's moving in the right direction. I did 190 minutes on the Elliptical for 13.76 miles this AM. Also did Leg presses, 5 sets of 20 @ 100+ lbs today. (Don't know how much the incline sled weighs. It's also a angled shoulder/squat press too) Used the double cable pulley system for Lat pull downs 2 sets of 10 with 50 lbs. And double bicep curls, 2 sets of 10 with 50 lbs, then 2 sets of 10 bicep dumbbell curls with 10 lbs and same number of sets with Tri-cep kickbacks with the same dumbbell. Need to add to my repertoire. Need to cut the grass today. Off tomorrow yet. Nice break from work. And getting extra workouts in.

And got extra workouts in. Back to work tomorrow. Then off Friday and Sunday.
    Been MIA for awhile from the threads but continue to log in daily & exercise 3x/week on my off days, as I had been. I have been indulging too much in carbs as you will notice in my weights. :-(

    July 24-167 lbs :-( 221 minutes on the Elliptical for 17.62 miles. After I finished the last hour of a movie I was watching a few days ago, I watched a scifi action movie and it seemed to help make me pick up my pace from my usual. :-) 12.5 minute/miles. Also increased some of my weight lifting. Leg press angled sled 5 sets of 20 @ 100#, Cable system Lat pull downs 3 sets of 20 @ 60#, Cable system standing row 2 sets of 20 @ 60#, dumbbell curls 2 sets of 20 @ 10# and tricep kickbacks 2 sets of 20 @ 10#.

    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 15 - 162.8
    July 16 - 166.4 (Didn't get time to check in yesterday.. it was midnight before I got home and I was exhausted. Had my final workday corporate event and then we met up with a friend at the Stampede grounds for two concerts. Another day of over 20,000 steps.)
    July 17 - DNW (I always bring my scale to the lake but I forgot. Yesterday we went for a nice long walk around our park and met my 10,000 step goal.)
    July 18 - 163.8 (Saw Elvis after work tonight. We are off to Ontario tomorrow to visit Brad's family and have a summer break there.)
    July 19 - 165.8 (At the airport for a flight to Toronto today. We are gone until the 31st so unless there's a random scale around, this will be my last weigh-in for the month. I'll still be checking in!)
    July 20 - DNW (Full day at Canada's Wonderland today. I love rides! Love that I can fit in everything no problem now.)
    July 21 - DNW (Sick again and it's changed our vacation plans a bit. My husband found us a nice comfortable suite style hotel for me to recover at.)
    July 22 - DNW (Feeling pretty good. Had a very restorative sleep. We ordered Skip The Dishes in last night and I definitely overdid it. Got swept up in the moment.)
    July 23 - DNW (Gotten in some good naps and rest. Also went for a couple long walks and did over 20,000 steps.)
    July 24 - DNW (Didn't quite hit 20,000 steps.. but close. Lots of indulgent food but some good choices too. I feel satisfied with how the day went.)
    July 25 - DNW (Today included a float down a river and a nice dinner out. Almost 20,000 steps again. Getting lots of those in!)

    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 (from July 1st): 202.8
    Goal: 197.8 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

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


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    07/23-198.8-(Trend Weight 199.9)-


    07/24-199.6-(Trend Weight 199.8)- I was perfectly within calorie and carb limits yesterday. A large amount of calorie burn. Closed all my circles on fitbit in a great way. My sodium was high due to the Chinese leftovers. Still one serving to go on that. This must be fluid retention. Traveling today for some wedding decorating supplies so lunch will be out. The last of the Chinese will probably be later tonight for dinner so I don’t expect tomorrow’s weight will be very good. I really don’t feel firmly planted in new decades unless it ends in a 7. I hope to hit 197 this week so I will feel confident on the fluctuations and fluid retention days.


    07/25-203.2-(Trend Weight 200.2)- Over 3 ½ pound gain overnight? Yikes! Tons of sodium yesterday in all 3 meals/travel. I took a magnesium supplement last night because of the bloat, so this weight is after a TMI (finally). I honestly don’t know what is going on with anything since covid. The glucose is wonky, the weight has been wonky and my blood pressure is wonky. Who knows what other things would show in bloodwork? Long Covid is real folks and I may be experiencing it according to the doctor. Ugh! Travel again this week tomorrow and Thursday so I may post extra early or extra late. Tomorrow is the CTA test on the heart at the hospital. This will look for blockages in the heart and is in leiu of a heart cath which is more invasive. Thurs I see cardiologist for the results of all this testing this past month, and the plan. I am enjoying all of your posts and love to see the successes!

    07/26-202.8-(Trend Weight 200.4)- Gain over 3 ½ overnight yesterday, but only drop less than ½ today. Humph…….

    July 1-157.4 lbs- My weight has been a SEESAW since 2/1/22. Up, down, up, down. Had a low in April of 147.6 lbs and have been fluctuating in about 13 lb range from that. Very Disheartening.
    July 2-160.4 lbs :-( I did eat too many carbs yesterday but was way below my allotted calories with my exercise and not enough extra calories to gain 3 lbs! Has to be water weight. Did 232 minutes on my Elliptical for 15.21 miles this AM. Then did 5 sets of 20 reps of 90+ lbs on the leg press. Also did some Lat pull downs and bicep work on the double cable system and some bicep curls and tri-cep kickbacks with dumbbells. It's about time I use some of this equipment available in my basement again!
    July 3-160.4 lbs :-( Did 186 minutes on the elliptical for 13.25 miles. Did 5 sets of 20 on the leg press, 90 lbs and did 10 lb bicep curls and tri kick backs.
    July 4…158.8 lbs Happy 4th of July! 🎆🎇 At least it's moving in the right direction. I did 190 minutes on the Elliptical for 13.76 miles this AM. Also did Leg presses, 5 sets of 20 @ 100+ lbs today. (Don't know how much the incline sled weighs. It's also a angled shoulder/squat press too) Used the double cable pulley system for Lat pull downs 2 sets of 10 with 50 lbs. And double bicep curls, 2 sets of 10 with 50 lbs, then 2 sets of 10 bicep dumbbell curls with 10 lbs and same number of sets with Tri-cep kickbacks with the same dumbbell. Need to add to my repertoire. Need to cut the grass today. Off tomorrow yet. Nice break from work. And getting extra workouts in.

And got extra workouts in. Back to work tomorrow. Then off Friday and Sunday.
    Been MIA for awhile from the threads but continue to log in daily & exercise 3x/week on my off days, as I had been. I have been indulging too much in carbs as you will notice in my weights. :-(

After I finished the last hour of a movie I was watching a few days ago, I watched a scifi action movie and it seemed to help make me pick up my pace from my usual. :-) 12.5 minute/miles. Also increased some of my weight lifting. Leg press angled sled 5 sets of 20 @ 100#, Cable system Lat pull downs 3 sets of 20 @ 60#, Cable system standing row 2 sets of 20 @ 60#, dumbbell curls 2 sets of 20 @ 10# and tricep kickbacks 2 sets of 20 @ 10#.

    07/24-199.6-(Trend Weight 199.8)- I was perfectly within calorie and carb limits yesterday. A large amount of calorie burn. Closed all my circles on fitbit in a great way. My sodium was high due to the Chinese leftovers. Still one serving to go on that. This must be fluid retention. Traveling today for some wedding decorating supplies so lunch will be out. The last of the Chinese will probably be later tonight for dinner so I don’t expect tomorrow’s weight will be very good. I really don’t feel firmly planted in new decades unless it ends in a 7. I hope to hit 197 this week so I will feel confident on the fluctuations and fluid retention days.


    07/25-203.2-(Trend Weight 200.2)- Over 3 ½ pound gain overnight? Yikes! Tons of sodium yesterday in all 3 meals/travel. I took a magnesium supplement last night because of the bloat, so this weight is after a TMI (finally). I honestly don’t know what is going on with anything since covid. The glucose is wonky, the weight has been wonky and my blood pressure is wonky. Who knows what other things would show in bloodwork? Long Covid is real folks and I may be experiencing it according to the doctor. Ugh! Travel again this week tomorrow and Thursday so I may post extra early or extra late. Tomorrow is the CTA test on the heart at the hospital. This will look for blockages in the heart and is in lieu of a heart cath which is more invasive. Thurs I see cardiologist for the results of all this testing this past month, and the plan. I am enjoying all of your posts and love to see the successes!

    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 15 - 162.8
    July 16 - 166.4 (Didn't get time to check in yesterday.. it was midnight before I got home and I was exhausted. Had my final workday corporate event and then we met up with a friend at the Stampede grounds for two concerts. Another day of over 20,000 steps.)
    July 17 - DNW (I always bring my scale to the lake but I forgot. Yesterday we went for a nice long walk around our park and met my 10,000 step goal.)
    July 18 - 163.8 (Saw Elvis after work tonight. We are off to Ontario tomorrow to visit Brad's family and have a summer break there.)
    July 19 - 165.8 (At the airport for a flight to Toronto today. We are gone until the 31st so unless there's a random scale around, this will be my last weigh-in for the month. I'll still be checking in!)
    July 20 - DNW (Full day at Canada's Wonderland today. I love rides! Love that I can fit in everything no problem now.)
    July 21 - DNW (Sick again and it's changed our vacation plans a bit. My husband found us a nice comfortable suite style hotel for me to recover at.)
    July 22 - DNW (Feeling pretty good. Had a very restorative sleep. We ordered Skip The Dishes in last night and I definitely overdid it. Got swept up in the moment.)
    July 23 - DNW (Gotten in some good naps and rest. Also went for a couple long walks and did over 20,000 steps.)
    July 24 - DNW (Didn't quite hit 20,000 steps.. but close. Lots of indulgent food but some good choices too. I feel satisfied with how the day went.)
    July 25 - DNW (Another night of healing restorative sleep so I'm ready to tackle the day. We have quite a bit of fun planned again for today.)
    July 26 - DNW
    July 27 - DNW (Today we check out of the hotel we spent the last 6 nights at and move locations. It's going to be a hot day out. Will aim for my minimum of 10,000 steps again today.)

More (unexpected) travel today to take my older friend downstate to her dr appointment. Then my own travel again tomorrow for the cardiologist and some results/plans. Gotta keep it under control but all my fitbit circles remain open when I travel and my calories are always over. A recipe for disaster! I can’t wait to get through this week. Exhausted!

    July 1-157.4 lbs- My weight has been a SEESAW since 2/1/22. Up, down, up, down. Had a low in April of 147.6 lbs and have been fluctuating in about 13 lb range from that. Very Disheartening.
    July 2-160.4 lbs :-( I did eat too many carbs yesterday but was way below my allotted calories with my exercise and not enough extra calories to gain 3 lbs! Has to be water weight. Did 232 minutes on my Elliptical for 15.21 miles this AM. Then did 5 sets of 20 reps of 90+ lbs on the leg press. Also did some Lat pull downs and bicep work on the double cable system and some bicep curls and tri-cep kickbacks with dumbbells. It's about time I use some of this equipment available in my basement again!
    July 3-160.4 lbs :-( Did 186 minutes on the elliptical for 13.25 miles. Did 5 sets of 20 on the leg press, 90 lbs and did 10 lb bicep curls and tri kick backs.
    July 4…158.8 lbs Happy 4th of July! 🎆🎇 At least it's moving in the right direction. I did 190 minutes on the Elliptical for 13.76 miles this AM. Also did Leg presses, 5 sets of 20 @ 100+ lbs today. (Don't know how much the incline sled weighs. It's also a angled shoulder/squat press too) Used the double cable pulley system for Lat pull downs 2 sets of 10 with 50 lbs. And double bicep curls, 2 sets of 10 with 50 lbs, then 2 sets of 10 bicep dumbbell curls with 10 lbs and same number of sets with Tri-cep kickbacks with the same dumbbell. Need to add to my repertoire. Need to cut the grass today. Off tomorrow yet. Nice break from work. And getting extra workouts in.

And got extra workouts in. Back to work tomorrow. Then off Friday and Sunday.
    Been MIA for awhile from the threads but continue to log in daily & exercise 3x/week on my off days, as I had been. I have been indulging too much in carbs as you will notice in my weights. :-(

After I finished the last hour of a movie I was watching a few days ago, I watched a scifi action movie and it seemed to help make me pick up my pace from my usual. :-) 12.5 minute/miles. Also increased some of my weight lifting. Leg press angled sled 5 sets of 20 @ 100#, Cable system Lat pull downs 3 sets of 20 @ 60#, Cable system standing row 2 sets of 20 @ 60#, dumbbell curls 2 sets of 20 @ 10# and tricep kickbacks 2 sets of 20 @ 10#.

    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 (from July 1st): 202.8
    Goal: 197.8 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

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


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    07/24-199.6-(Trend Weight 199.8)- I was perfectly within calorie and carb limits yesterday. A large amount of calorie burn. Closed all my circles on fitbit in a great way. My sodium was high due to the Chinese leftovers. Still one serving to go on that. This must be fluid retention. Traveling today for some wedding decorating supplies so lunch will be out. The last of the Chinese will probably be later tonight for dinner so I don’t expect tomorrow’s weight will be very good. I really don’t feel firmly planted in new decades unless it ends in a 7. I hope to hit 197 this week so I will feel confident on the fluctuations and fluid retention days.


    07/25-203.2-(Trend Weight 200.2)- Over 3 ½ pound gain overnight? Yikes! Tons of sodium yesterday in all 3 meals/travel. I took a magnesium supplement last night because of the bloat, so this weight is after a TMI (finally). I honestly don’t know what is going on with anything since covid. The glucose is wonky, the weight has been wonky and my blood pressure is wonky. Who knows what other things would show in bloodwork? Long Covid is real folks and I may be experiencing it according to the doctor. Ugh! Travel again this week tomorrow and Thursday so I may post extra early or extra late. Tomorrow is the CTA test on the heart at the hospital. This will look for blockages in the heart and is in leiu of a heart cath which is more invasive. Thurs I see cardiologist for the results of all this testing this past month, and the plan. I am enjoying all of your posts and love to see the successes!

    07/26-202.8-(Trend Weight 200.4)- Gain over 3 ½ overnight yesterday, but only drop less than ½ today. Humph…….

    07/27-202.6-(Trend Weight 200.4)- A drop in weight after travel? Hmmmm. It’s bound to show up sooner or later so I’m bracing myself. More (unexpected) travel today to take my older friend downstate to her dr appointment. Then my own travel again tomorrow for the cardiologist and some results/plans. Gotta keep it under control but all my fitbit circles remain open when I travel and my calories are always over. A recipe for disaster! I can’t wait to get through this week. Exhausted!

    07/28-204.4-(Trend Weight 201.0)- More travel today. I hope to catch up on a couple of days’ posts later this evening.
