Hope each day keeps feeling better and better! Hugs1 -
@deepwoodslady Sending virtual hugs all the way from Australia! I'm glad the other blockages weren't as severe as first thought, hopefully you see/feel some improvement soon with the new meds - I know these things can take some time.2

I'm Christie, an Aussie, mum to the BEST three year old in the world (I am not even biased). I absolutely need to get serious about my weight and stop "treating myself". I had lost 15kg from my initial starting weight, but then started working from home and became less active through the day as a result. I'm finding it hard to get my rhythm back even though I'm back to working on site now. I've gained back too much of that 15kg loss. I plan to go back to basics because I KNOW it works for me!
Initial Starting Weight: 138.3kg (304.9lbs)

August Goal Weight: 129.9kg (286.4lbs)

August 2: ⚖️ 131.7kg 👟 6,121 steps 💦 2.5L 📔 1,940 calories 🐨 53 mins | A busy day at work, didn't get enough steps during the day so did some walking in place in the evening. Struggling a bit with a knee injury on one leg and a foot injury on the other. Sometimes I'm just hobbling around! Made some more progress on the home-buying process, closing out a credit card that I didn't know existed so it disappears from my credit report and had the bank's valuer visit our current house so we know how much collateral we have. We are intending to keep this house and rent it out once we move. He couldn't give us the exact number or even a proper ballpark but was able to reassure us that it will be within a particular range - the lower end of that range is still enough for what we need so that has been a relief! Spent half the evening working from home as I left work a little early to meet the valuer and needed to catch up on some work - didn't mean to spend as long as I did, but got the report done that I needed to.
August 3: ⚖️ 131.3kg 👟 5,360 steps 💦 2.5L 📔 2,746 calories 🐨 54 mins | Another busy day at work (the end and beginning of the month is always busy for me as an accountant)! Barely got any steps in all day as I was just chained to the desk, but made sure I did some walking in place to hit my target before bed time. Went a little over on calorie goal but still tracked everything which is all I'm actually aiming for at the moment - had great deficits so far this week so one day at maintenance is not going to undo all that.

On the 30th of July, I weighed myself and found I was at a lifetime high - 142.7 kg (314.59 pounds)
My goals during august are to:
* Measure progress regularly (weight and waist circumference)
* Log food and meet daily food goals each day
* Be more deliberate about exercise, especially little exercises during the work day (I sit at a desk all day)
Seeing some progress already.

Aug 1st 206 lbs - Weighed, Tracked, Under Calories, Elliptical 45 mins. Hello August! Weight loss is getting a little more challenging. I am focusing on mostly on being 5 out of 7 days under calories.

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 31): 201.6
Goal: 196.6 (Five lb Loss)
Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
COLOR CODE: Fuchsia is a Happy Weight Loss for me. Blue is a sad weight gain. Black is no change.
08/01-201.2-(Trend Weight 201.4)-
08/02-202.0-(Trend Weight 201.4)-
08/03-201.6-(Trend Weight 201.4)- The heart surgeon I met for the first time when I was in the OR. He said that he will not triple stent me, if it becomes 100% necessary, he will do a by-pass but he wasn’t in the mood to crack open any ribs that day. Yikes! He thought that two of the blockages could be managed with new meds for now but one was further blocked than the CTA test indicated. It was 76% blocked instead of 50%. So he stented that one, changed my cholesterol meds to 80 mg instead of 10 mg. Added the blood thinner recommended for those specifically with stents, added another heavy-duty blood pressure med to go with my other and gave me an emergency script for nitro just in case. He said my breathing on exertion should improve but it’s still rough breathing so far. Gotta heal up I guess. No exercise for a week and then light moderate like walking or bike. Breathing was worse yesterday instead of better but so far today, I feel a little improvement. Glad it’s over. Thanks again to all of you for the well wishes, personal IM’s and hugs. You are all the best friends a girl could ever ask for!
08/04-200.6-(Trend Weight 201.3)- I am done with the 2 days of extreme light duty. I go back on all diabetes medications today and start 5 days of light duty that is a tiny bit less restrictive. Still no exercise allowed, bu I can now carefully (under 5 lbs) use my right hand. I took my son out to a local restaurant last night mainly because I felt sorry for myself. Just being honest. We even split a dessert. Food doesn’t fix anything, of course, it’s just a band-aid. Feeling much better today and I can’t wait to be able to take walks again and get on my stationary bike! Weight dropped but it was probably fluid loss from the water pill. I can see my ankle bones again this morning and my feet look normal. They always do when I get rid of the water. I know this is not easy for any of us. We’ll get there folks if we keep showing up for ourselves in the day-to-day and for each other because support is one of the ingredients of success!

August 4: ⚖️ 131.3kg 👟 5,384 steps 💦 2L 📔 2,973 calories 🐨 52 mins | My work colleagues held a morning tea for my birthday, which was nice. I did overindulge though! Everything tasted so nice and I felt a lot of peer pressure! Back to normal tomorrow. Feeling really exhausted and fatigued - this I think is still remnants of covid, maybe "long covid" though I hope not.
August 5: ⚖️ 130.7kg 👟 5,220 steps 💦 2L 📔 2,443 calories 🐨 52 mins | Went in to work early and finished early to go and have a look through our potential new house. So in love! The sellers are not completely sure they want to sell just yet, so now it's a waiting game while they decide what they want to do!

I’ve got my calories and logging under control, my macros somewhat under control, my water intake under control. Now, I want to lower my sodium intake and up my daily step goal! I have a doctors appointment at the end of the month and would like some good news….I know I have a long way to go but I have to get there some time.

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!

08/06-198.8-(Trend Weight 201.0)- Pizza last night. It didn’t show up on the scale but I suspect it will very very soon. I’m very tired today most likely from bad food. It’s going to be 92 degrees today and I have no air conditioning. Oh Joy! I’ll keep myself and cats as cool as possible with the fans. I trapped as much night air inside as I possibly could last night. Re: Surgery, I had a little chest pain in bed last night but really more like soreness/healing type of pain, not heart attack kind of pain. Otherwise, I'm feeling pretty good. I’m just thrilled to be back in Onederland.

Happy belated birthday @TwistedSassette
Original start weight: 293

Aug 3 - 167.6 (Dentist after work and then I'll hopefully find time for a Peloton ride or another walk, or both!)
Aug 4 - 166.2 (Have stress at work. Afterwards I will decompress with some kind of exercise. Last night I chose to do upper body strength as my exercise of choice and it felt great.)
Aug 5 - 165.8 (Found time to ride the Peloton last night and it felt good. Off to the lake for the weekend as soon as work is done.)
Aug 6 - 164.6 (Nice sunny day here today. I am going to aim for 10,000 steps which will require 1-2 longer walks around our lakeside trailer park. We have a bigger dinner tonight my husband is making for our trailer friends.)6 -

08/07-198.2-(Trend Weight 200.7)- Glucose has remained very high these past few days (since surgery). Logging every bite the last few so I know I’m not missing anything and weight is dropping. Why so high? I don’t get it! The only change is the lack of exercise until I am allowed. But I am moving pretty steady with simple housecleaning, stretches etc. Baffled!
