101 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Nov 26, 2022 Starting Date
My Name is Donna, Age 62. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
My mini-challenge is to lose 10 pounds by Easter 2023. I started my efforts on Dec. 10th weighing 198.4. My wish is to weigh 188.4 by Easter April 9th, 2023. That gives me about 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds easy but, trust me, it won’t be. Especially when outside exercise is so limited for me this slippery time of year!
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
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
Goal This Round: 181.2
Starting Weight (from End of Last Challenge): : 196.2
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.Day 01-11/26-196.6-(Trend weight 198.1) My day one starts immediately on the day following the final day of the last challenge. It will end on March 6th with everyone else but that will make it 101 days for me.

@deepwoodslady
I'm glad that the party was fun. 60 is suh a big milestone for your brother.
Ice storms are awful. How much travel time to your rehab?
We had some awful melts here for several days, water sitting on top of ice. It is a mess.0 -
Mini challenge by Donna, December 10-April 9th
December 10th weight: 143.2 (but I was 141.8 the following day so I might use that)
1st Week Goal Weight - 139.9
1st Week Actual Weight - 141.2 Started the week at 142.2
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4738 - average over 7 days 834
2nd Week Goal Weight - 141.0
2nd Week Actual Weight - 142.2 - Started the week at 143.0
Excess calories burned (in the green): Forgot to add this earlier - 4948 = 706.85 average over 7 days.
3rd Week Goal Weight: 139.4 - (Ambitious)
3rd Week Actual Weight: 144.2 - Somehow put on 3 pounds while down sick for 1 day! Started the week at 142.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 6063 = 866.14 average over 7 days - Really big calorie burn this past week except for the day that I was sick
4th Week Goal Weight: 139.6 - (Ambitious)
4th Week Actual Weight: 143.8 - Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green): 3563 = 509 average over 7 days
5th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Not likely with holiday eating, but going to plunk in this number until I hit it. Turned out that Turkey dinners carefully portioned actually lost me weight this week.
5th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 - Started the week at 143.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 4496 = 642 average over 7 days.
6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 145.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 986 - Even 1150 eating days didn't give me much excess because of low exercise during my sore ankle and subsequent steroid injection into it.
7th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
7th Week Actual Weight: 143.6 Started the week at 144.2. I had Ribs, and may have them one more time during this 100
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2762, 394.7 average over 7 days, I know that this needs to be higher to lose weight. Ankle is getting there, so hopefully soon I can get back to it.
Day 50 – 1/15 - 143.8 - Not too much fallout from the Ribs. I took out a Mumbai chicken breast for dinner later, will have potato (or rice) and veg with it. I seem to do well during the weekdays with my weight and then it jumps on the weekends. I need to address that I suppose, I do generally indulge in a bit of "bad" stuff on Friday nights, I don't get the steps in on the weekends like I do on weekdays from waitressing, although I do work out more on the weekends. I want to do a workout with weights every Saturday, I did yesterday. The weather has been awful here, 5-7C the last few days, puddles on top of ice, huge ruts in the icy road where it has melted weird. Definitely no trails or anything. There is public skating today, I may try to go. Ankle is sore today, so we'll see.
Day 51 – 1/16 - 144.2 - Ouch. Continue fallout for the weekend. No split shifts this week (so far) so hoping to get this down fast. Cooking veggies for 2 nights of dinners this morning.
Day 52 – 1/17
Day 53 – 1/18
Day 54 – 1/19
Day 55 – 1/20
Day 56 – 1/22
8th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
8th Week Actual Weight: Started the week at 143.8
Excess calories burned (In the green):
Start weight of the 100: 142.2
Goal 132.23 -

@dawnbgethealthy About 70 miles each way directly to the hospital. I usually do some shopping afterward since there are stores. Today I also had an education class. They are going to send me to a dietician as well for about a month. They almost cancelled my session again today. My glucose (after breakfast) was exactly 300 by the time I got there. I'm not supposed to exercise if it is OVER 300 so I argued with them. They said it rises during exercise which would put me over and they were going to cancel. I kept arguing about it because of my long drive in. I finally told them I would see the dietician if I could get my session in. They finally agreed. They may change my time so that my sugar may be lower later. I didn't say anything but that won't help. I was already 2 hours past my breakfast which means it had lowered by then to 300. My medicine is just not effective at this point. But my diet does make a difference. I've got to watch and count those carbs! Thursday I was very very careful with the carbs in experimentation. Friday morning my fasting glucose before food was 151 !!!!! It's almost always over 300 fasting, even on an empty stomach. A 270 is like a miracle usually. So I know that watching the diet is till working even if the medications are not. I've got to do this!
The party was a lot of fun. I ate some things I should not have, but I passed up way more than I chose to put on my plate. I'm proud of myself because it truly could have been so much worse. I noticed on my weekly challenges that my weight went down over the past week from 200 point something to 198 point something, even after those 8 days of mostly travel. I'm proud that I am improving but I've got to make the choices that are good for my diabetes too, not just my weight. So I will reluctantly take the class even though it means more travel and more time. Ugh! I looked at it this way, when I see that endocrinologist (finally) in Feb, I'm sure they are going to send me to one anyway and this one will be closer (70 miles) than their area which is over 125 miles away. It's time for me to grow up and quit acting like a kid in a candy store everytime I'm around delicious, sweet or new foods. Grow up Donna!2 -

Mind if I join? I could really use the accountability. I was here before, last year, and doing well but I fell off the wagon 😞.

Week 4 goal: 184.7 (-1.1)

Day 30–12/25–181.0–better. Got the water in and didn’t have time to do too much damage with the pot luck at work last night.

I'm not supposed to exercise if it is OVER 300 so I argued with them. They said it rises during exercise which would put me over and they were going to cancel. I kept arguing about it because of my long drive in. I finally told them I would see the dietician if I could get my session in. They finally agreed. They may change my time so that my sugar may be lower later. I didn't say anything but that won't help. I was already 2 hours past my breakfast which means it had lowered by then to 300. My medicine is just not effective at this point. But my diet does make a difference. I've got to watch and count those carbs! Thursday I was very very careful with the carbs in experimentation. Friday morning my fasting glucose before food was 151 !!!!! It's almost always over 300 fasting, even on an empty stomach. A 270 is like a miracle usually. So I know that watching the diet is till working even if the medications are not. I've got to do this!
The party was a lot of fun. I ate some things I should not have, but I passed up way more than I chose to put on my plate. I'm proud of myself because it truly could have been so much worse. I noticed on my weekly challenges that my weight went down over the past week from 200 point something to 198 point something, even after those 8 days of mostly travel. I'm proud that I am improving but I've got to make the choices that are good for my diabetes too, not just my weight. So I will reluctantly take the class even though it means more travel and more time. Ugh! I looked at it this way, when I see that endocrinologist (finally) in Feb, I'm sure they are going to send me to one anyway and this one will be closer (70 miles) than their area which is over 125 miles away. It's time for me to grow up and quit acting like a kid in a candy store everytime I'm around delicious, sweet or new foods. Grow up Donna!
@deepwoodslady - Wonderful self talk. Thanks for sharing. Blood sugar levels of 300 are considered very dangerous. ((HUGS))
Is it possible that your glucose would be lower if you arrived half an hour early for your appt and did a short walk inside a store or something before the session. Calming the stress of driving and getting movement in your legs? Just thinking out loud. I've heard that a shot of fast-acting insulin (which I know you are trying to avoid) or exercise lower blood sugar.
My Strength Training teacher is 72 and has one of those diabetic readers on her arm. Usually her glucose goes down during the class.
Chart to educate us on what is normal glucose levels.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 44: 01/08 -229.4 @ 3:30am - Journal, 48oz water, AF, no exercise. Granddaughter’s first birthday party and I ate the cake. Meals today did not include a lot of veggies. Need to make that happen!

Day 46: 01/10 - 229.2 - Journal, 56oz water, 2 glasses wine, Strength Training 1 hour.
Day 47: 01/11 - 229.9 @ 4am- Journal best I could since I went to a potluck brunch today after starting back up my ESL class. Water? AF, no exercise.

Day 49: 01/13 - 230.1 - Did NOT Journal, ??oz water, 3 A drinks, no exercise. Busy day until around 2pm with granddaughter but also taught ESL in the morning. Then a nap! Dinner out with old friends we’ve not seen in 30 years. Definitely could have been more careful with my choices but I threw caution to the wind for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Day 50: 01/14 - 229.4 @ 3:30am- Did NOT Journal, ??oz water, wine, walk 3.1 miles. Mainly worked on finances … ours and then my mom’s as well. In the evening DH & I watched to old favorite movies ...

Day 51: 01/15 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water … this is becoming a bad habit. No exercise but I did cut back the dead plants in the yard before they start to flush out again then I went shopping with my sister. Unplanned wine in the evening.
Day 52: 01/16 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water but I did drink more water, walked 1 mile, 2 glasses wine.
Day 53: 01/17 - 232.4 - WHOA! Did NOT Journal nor track water but did drink more water. I’m starting to sound like a broken record. Strength Training class for 1 hour then 2-3 hours of yard work. Ended up soaking in the bath and then using a heating pad on my back. But felt lovely in the evening and went out to meet my book club for dinner. Starting my food journal TODAY!

@Lilylady3K Unfortunately your sugar levels and blood pressure levels both actually go up during the actual exercise (although it helps with it later after it's over). That is why they won't let me exercise when they reach those levels because they are going to temporarily get higher.
I'm not allowed in the hospital more than 5 minutes before the appointment due to space limitations and it's too cold outside. I've just got to get it low enough to allow for breakfast and still be low enough to satisfy them. That has everything to do with what I eat the night before. That has more of an impact than anything I can do in the morning before the appointment because by then, it is pretty much too late. I've got to do my part!
I appreciate all the ideas though, it really is so complicated. They did tell me to put a protein with a carb on my night time snack. Like a 1/2 of a turkey sandwich. Adding fiber can also slow the sugars from getting in my system. I wonder about metimucil or something. I'll have to ask the dietician when my insurance approves the visits. Last night I added flax seed to my dinner. I don't think it helped that much.2 -
@deepwoodslady
Oh gosh. I am glad that you got them to do the session considering your drive time each way.
I don't know anything about all of this, but @Lilylady3k showed an interesting chart. So it seems like 2 hours after food is the highest time. Interesting also that blood sugar drops during exercise, unlike what they are saying at the clinic! Geez!
Really glad that you are booked to see a dietician. A good one will work with the foods that you like, not try to steer you towards things that you don't. Maybe there are some new foods that you aren't used to that you won't have an averse reaction to. He/she might have some tips about incorporating foods that you don't usually tolerate into recipes that are palatable to you, and may also have some insight as to some therapy to help you integrate some healthy options.
We do have to feed our bodies well so that they function optimally.
Between having to eat a certain way for diabetes and also for the heart sounds really complicated. Hopefully a dietician can come up with a strategy.
I get what you are saying about it being not just about weight loss, but weight loss really does help our bodies to not have to work so hard.
I hate that you have to travel so much, especially in the winter. If nothing else it seems to be leading you to taking it into your own hands and changing your outlook on your responsibility to healing yourself with habit changes.
Good job on having a fun time at the party, being able to eat a few treat things, but much less than you would have in the past. Now that is restraint!! Sometimes a bite or two of something is enough to satisfy a hankering.
I am really glad that you are scheduled to work with a dietician. We are all open to hear about things that maybe we all can incorporate into a healthy lifestyle.
Metamucil can't hurt right?1 -
101 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Nov 26, 2022 Starting Date
My Name is Donna, Age 62. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
My mini-challenge is to lose 10 pounds by Easter 2023. I started my efforts on Dec. 10th weighing 198.4. My wish is to weigh 188.4 by Easter April 9th, 2023. That gives me about 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds easy but, trust me, it won’t be. Especially when outside exercise is so limited for me this slippery time of year!
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

Day 53-01/17-197.8-(Trend weight 198.6) Lots of sleep last night, although not enough REM or Deep sleep according to fitbit. Diet as far as macros and carbs were on point yesterday but the choices could have been healthier. I did stop at a major grocery chain while I was in the city and picked up some fresh veggie items I can sneak into some of my dishes. There are not too many I can handles, but anything is better than nothing! My fasting glucose this morning was 236. Better but still not acceptable. Once I eat something it will shoot back up to between 300 and 400 and that is not good. I really need to see the 100’s in fasting. I’ll continue tweaking those carbs. It’s not just how many, it’s what type, even distribution throughout the day, slowing them entering into my system by adding proteins directly with them, etc. etc, etc. It’s complicated but I’m really feeling strong and ready for the task right now. Gonna grab the ball and run with it!

Mini challenge by Donna, December 10-April 9th
December 10th weight: 143.2 (but I was 141.8 the following day so I might use that)
1st Week Goal Weight - 139.9
1st Week Actual Weight - 141.2 Started the week at 142.2
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4738 - average over 7 days 834
2nd Week Goal Weight - 141.0
2nd Week Actual Weight - 142.2 - Started the week at 143.0
Excess calories burned (in the green): Forgot to add this earlier - 4948 = 706.85 average over 7 days.
3rd Week Goal Weight: 139.4 - (Ambitious)
3rd Week Actual Weight: 144.2 - Somehow put on 3 pounds while down sick for 1 day! Started the week at 142.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 6063 = 866.14 average over 7 days - Really big calorie burn this past week except for the day that I was sick
4th Week Goal Weight: 139.6 - (Ambitious)
4th Week Actual Weight: 143.8 - Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green): 3563 = 509 average over 7 days
5th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Not likely with holiday eating, but going to plunk in this number until I hit it. Turned out that Turkey dinners carefully portioned actually lost me weight this week.
5th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 - Started the week at 143.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 4496 = 642 average over 7 days.
6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 145.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 986 - Even 1150 eating days didn't give me much excess because of low exercise during my sore ankle and subsequent steroid injection into it.
7th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
7th Week Actual Weight: 143.6 Started the week at 144.2. I had Ribs, and may have them one more time during this 100
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2762, 394.7 average over 7 days, I know that this needs to be higher to lose weight. Ankle is getting there, so hopefully soon I can get back to it.
Day 50 – 1/15 - 143.8 - Not too much fallout from the Ribs. I took out a Mumbai chicken breast for dinner later, will have potato (or rice) and veg with it. I seem to do well during the weekdays with my weight and then it jumps on the weekends. I need to address that I suppose, I do generally indulge in a bit of "bad" stuff on Friday nights, I don't get the steps in on the weekends like I do on weekdays from waitressing, although I do work out more on the weekends. I want to do a workout with weights every Saturday, I did yesterday. The weather has been awful here, 5-7C the last few days, puddles on top of ice, huge ruts in the icy road where it has melted weird. Definitely no trails or anything. There is public skating today, I may try to go. Ankle is sore today, so we'll see.
Day 51 – 1/16 - 144.2 - Ouch. Continued fallout from the weekend. No split shifts this week (so far) so hoping to get this down fast. Cooking veggies for 2 nights of dinners this morning.
Day 52 – 1/17 - 143.4 - I had souvlaki marinated pork, 2 veggies and a bit of potato. Delicious. Going to have that again tonight, or I might make some palak paneer. I am also ready to do another batch of jambalaya/gumbo with a new (to me) type of sausage, Hungarian. I have lots of my own peppers and tomatoes frozen, plus lots of onions and garlic left from my garden, shredded chicken and prawns are also in the freezer ready to go into it.
Day 53 – 1/18
Day 54 – 1/19
Day 55 – 1/20
Day 56 – 1/22
8th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it

Day 50: 01/14 - 229.4 @ 3:30am- Did NOT Journal, ??oz water, wine, walk 3.1 miles. Mainly worked on finances … ours and then my mom’s as well. In the evening DH & I watched to old favorite movies ...

@deepwoodslady - Okay it is time for you to start a personal journal that you can copy and take in for the dietician. BUT you know they are going to have you do it anyway. Besides what you eat which I believe you started tracking in MFP. Write down your sugar levels too. Think about writing about your food aversions, issues, etc. Get it all out so that they can provide you with a plan that you will actually execute instead of suggesting that you eat x which you know that you will not buy or cook because you already know that you won't eat.
Good luck!!!2 -

@Lilylady3k I do write down my fasting glucose and my blood pressure morning and night. They are on one sheet that I share with PC doctor, cardiologist and will soon share with endocrinologist. I've never written down my food aversions. That is something I will definitely share.1 -
101 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Nov 26, 2022 Starting Date
My Name is Donna, Age 62. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
My mini-challenge is to lose 10 pounds by Easter 2023. I started my efforts on Dec. 10th weighing 198.4. My wish is to weigh 188.4 by Easter April 9th, 2023. That gives me about 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds easy but, trust me, it won’t be. Especially when outside exercise is so limited for me this slippery time of year!
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

Day 52-01/16-198.8-(Trend weight 198.7)
Day 53-01/17-197.8-(Trend weight 198.6) Lots of sleep last night, although not enough REM or Deep sleep according to fitbit. Diet as far as macros and carbs were on point yesterday but the choices could have been healthier. I did stop at a major grocery chain while I was in the city and picked up some fresh veggie items I can sneak into some of my dishes. There are not too many I can handles, but anything is better than nothing! My fasting glucose this morning was 236. Better but still not acceptable. Once I eat something it will shoot back up to between 300 and 400 and that is not good. I really need to see the 100’s in fasting. I’ll continue tweaking those carbs. It’s not just how many, it’s what type, even distribution throughout the day, slowing them entering into my system by adding proteins directly with them, etc. etc, etc. It’s complicated but I’m really feeling strong and ready for the task right now. Gonna grab the ball and run with it!
Day 54-01/18-196.0-(Trend weight 198.4) A nice whoosh this morning. Likely some water loss due to medication and to really watching my carbs. Now…..to hang onto it. I was within my limits on carbs yesterday but on the high end of the range. Still tweaking.

Day 50 – 1/15 - 143.8 - Not too much fallout from the Ribs. I took out a Mumbai chicken breast for dinner later, will have potato (or rice) and veg with it. I seem to do well during the weekdays with my weight and then it jumps on the weekends. I need to address that I suppose, I do generally indulge in a bit of "bad" stuff on Friday nights, I don't get the steps in on the weekends like I do on weekdays from waitressing, although I do work out more on the weekends. I want to do a workout with weights every Saturday, I did yesterday. The weather has been awful here, 5-7C the last few days, puddles on top of ice, huge ruts in the icy road where it has melted weird. Definitely no trails or anything. There is public skating today, I may try to go. Ankle is sore today, so we'll see.
Day 51 – 1/16 - 144.2 - Ouch. Continued fallout from the weekend. No split shifts this week (so far) so hoping to get this down fast. Cooking veggies for 2 nights of dinners this morning.
Day 52 – 1/17 - 143.4 - I had souvlaki marinated pork, 2 veggies and a bit of potato. Delicious. Going to have that again tonight, or I might make some palak paneer. I am also ready to do another batch of jambalaya/gumbo with a new (to me) type of sausage, Hungarian. I have lots of my own peppers and tomatoes frozen, plus lots of onions and garlic left from my garden, shredded chicken and prawns are also in the freezer ready to go into it.
Day 53 – 1/18 - 143.6 - I didn't end up cooking after work yesterday, but I have lots and lots of food in the freezer that I pre-portioned after all of that harvest cooking that I did before closing my garden for the winter.
Day 54 – 1/19

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 51: 01/15 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water … this is becoming a bad habit. No exercise but I did cut back the dead plants in the yard before they start to flush out again then I went shopping with my sister. Unplanned wine in the evening.
Day 52: 01/16 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water but I did drink more water, walked 1 mile, 2 glasses wine.
Day 53: 01/17 - 232.4 - WHOA! Did NOT Journal nor track water but did drink more water. AF. I’m starting to sound like a broken record. Strength Training class for 1 hour then 2-3 hours of yard work. Ended up soaking in the bath and then using a heating pad on my back. But felt lovely in the evening and went out to meet my book club for dinner. Starting my food journal TODAY!
Day 54: 01/18 - 231.8 - Still not tracking water and food. AF, no exercise. Teaching ESL, read, shopped, etc. Productive day except for getting myself back on plan.
Day 55: 01/19 - 231.2 - No journal. AF last night skipping margaritas at book club, walk 1.3 miles.

101 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Nov 26, 2022 Starting Date
My Name is Donna, Age 62. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
My mini-challenge is to lose 10 pounds by Easter 2023. I started my efforts on Dec. 10th weighing 198.4. My wish is to weigh 188.4 by Easter April 9th, 2023. That gives me about 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds easy but, trust me, it won’t be. Especially when outside exercise is so limited for me this slippery time of year!
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

Mini challenge by Donna, December 10-April 9th
December 10th weight: 143.2 (but I was 141.8 the following day so I might use that)
1st Week Goal Weight - 139.9
1st Week Actual Weight - 141.2 Started the week at 142.2
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4738 - average over 7 days 834
2nd Week Goal Weight - 141.0
2nd Week Actual Weight - 142.2 - Started the week at 143.0
Excess calories burned (in the green): Forgot to add this earlier - 4948 = 706.85 average over 7 days.
3rd Week Goal Weight: 139.4 - (Ambitious)
3rd Week Actual Weight: 144.2 - Somehow put on 3 pounds while down sick for 1 day! Started the week at 142.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 6063 = 866.14 average over 7 days - Really big calorie burn this past week except for the day that I was sick
4th Week Goal Weight: 139.6 - (Ambitious)
4th Week Actual Weight: 143.8 - Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green): 3563 = 509 average over 7 days
5th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Not likely with holiday eating, but going to plunk in this number until I hit it. Turned out that Turkey dinners carefully portioned actually lost me weight this week.
5th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 - Started the week at 143.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 4496 = 642 average over 7 days.
6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 145.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 986 - Even 1150 eating days didn't give me much excess because of low exercise during my sore ankle and subsequent steroid injection into it.
7th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
7th Week Actual Weight: 143.6 Started the week at 144.2. I had Ribs, and may have them one more time during this 100
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2762, 394.7 average over 7 days, I know that this needs to be higher to lose weight. Ankle is getting there, so hopefully soon I can get back to it.
Day 50 – 1/15 - 143.8 - Not too much fallout from the Ribs. I took out a Mumbai chicken breast for dinner later, will have potato (or rice) and veg with it. I seem to do well during the weekdays with my weight and then it jumps on the weekends. I need to address that I suppose, I do generally indulge in a bit of "bad" stuff on Friday nights, I don't get the steps in on the weekends like I do on weekdays from waitressing, although I do work out more on the weekends. I want to do a workout with weights every Saturday, I did yesterday. The weather has been awful here, 5-7C the last few days, puddles on top of ice, huge ruts in the icy road where it has melted weird. Definitely no trails or anything. There is public skating today, I may try to go. Ankle is sore today, so we'll see.
Day 51 – 1/16 - 144.2 - Ouch. Continued fallout from the weekend. No split shifts this week (so far) so hoping to get this down fast. Cooking veggies for 2 nights of dinners this morning.
Day 52 – 1/17 - 143.4 - I had souvlaki marinated pork, 2 veggies and a bit of potato. Delicious. Going to have that again tonight, or I might make some palak paneer. I am also ready to do another batch of jambalaya/gumbo with a new (to me) type of sausage, Hungarian. I have lots of my own peppers and tomatoes frozen, plus lots of onions and garlic left from my garden, shredded chicken and prawns are also in the freezer ready to go into it.
Day 53 – 1/18 - 143.6 - I didn't end up cooking after work yesterday, but I have lots and lots of food in the freezer that I pre-portioned after all of that harvest cooking that I did before closing my garden for the winter.
Day 54 – 1/19 - 143.4 - Bad ankle flare up in bed last night, so low on sleep this morning. As of this week no more split shifts for the foreseeable future. I went to public skating (33 minutes I lasted) for the first time since the steroid shot. I really hope that they aren't related and that it is just the steroid slow release attacking the inflammation. There was supposed to be a steroid "flare" in the first 48 hours, which I didn't get. Going to take it as easy as I can today, although I need at least a few dance songs to loosen up the rest of my body to prepare for the workday.
