    Thanks @dawnbgethealthy
    Overall 2022 was a successful year for me. Unfortunately mid-Sept to now has had a few struggles, so if I dwell on that it feels negative, but I'm ending 2022 lighter than I started it, and I did have a good taste of maintenance for a good stretch there.
    Proving to myself I can get back there in 2023 will be a great accomplishment
    Thanks for the year of accountability and camaraderie - enjoy your NYE celebrations!

    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!

    145320379.png

    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.

    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.

    Day 36 – 1/1 - 145.4 - double ouch. I did eat some fun food and went into the red, but also they were salty, so I drank a great deal of water. Hoping that it is just that. I definitely did not eat 3 pounds of food.
    Day 37 – 1/2
    Day 38 – 1/3
    Day 39 – 1/4
    Day 40 – 1/5

    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 😞.

    History:
    52 year old woman, 5’7”
    1990s—120s.
    2000s—140s.
    2008–160s.
    2012, my 1st diet—230.8, got down to 180s then relapsed.
    2021–212.6. Got down to 159.2.
    CW—185.8.
    GW—145


    Day 24–12/19 start 185.8
    Day 25–12/20–185.0
    Day 26–12/21–184.0. Looks like I had more water on board than I thought. I expect the loss to decelerate once I’m done getting rid of the water weight.🫤
    Day 27–12/22–182.4.
    Day 28–12/23–181.8
    Week 4 goal: 184.7 (-1.1)
    Progress to goal: -4.0

    Day 29–12/24–182.4–very busy shift last night, no water intake. Tonight doesn’t look much better, three nurses short. Gotta find a way to get the water in, though.
    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.
    Day 31–12/26–182.8. Sigh.
    Day 32–12/27–183.6.
    Day 33–12/28–182.0
    Day 34–12/29–181.6
    Day 35–12/30–181.4
    Week 5 goal: 180.0 (-1.8)
    Actual: 181.4 :-(

    Day 36–12/31–180.6 (Trend 181.2)
    Day 37–1/1–181.6 (T 181.2) Yesterdays binge manifests
    Day 38–1/2
    Day 39–1/3
    Day 40–1/4
    Day 41–1/5
    Day 42–1/6
    Week 6 goal: 179.5 (-1.9)

    Well the scale is NOT pretty at all. My annual goal totally took a side trip in 2022. :(
    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last

    2019 SW: 245 (1/2/2019)
    2020 SW: 235 (1/1/2020)
    2021 SW: 212 (1/1/2021) NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021
    2022 SW: 209 (1/1/2022)
    2023 SW: 232 (1/1/2023)

    Working on my mental state and how I want to plan 2023 to not repeat 2022. Hope to rejoin you in this journey soon.

    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!

    145320379.png

    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.

    Day 38-01/02-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) Forgot to weigh while getting ready to leave. Sucked down too much coffee prior. Traveling today, tomorrow and the next day. I hope 3 days in a row of travel does not derail me.

    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 😞.

    History:
    52 year old woman, 5’7”
    1990s—120s.
    2000s—140s.
    2008–160s.
    2012, my 1st diet—230.8, got down to 180s then relapsed.
    2021–212.6. Got down to 159.2.
    CW—185.8.
    GW—145


    Day 24–12/19 start 185.8
    Day 25–12/20–185.0
    Day 26–12/21–184.0. Looks like I had more water on board than I thought. I expect the loss to decelerate once I’m done getting rid of the water weight.🫤
    Day 27–12/22–182.4.
    Day 28–12/23–181.8
    Week 4 goal: 184.7 (-1.1)
    Progress to goal: -4.0

    Day 29–12/24–182.4–very busy shift last night, no water intake. Tonight doesn’t look much better, three nurses short. Gotta find a way to get the water in, though.
    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.
    Day 31–12/26–182.8. Sigh.
    Day 32–12/27–183.6.
    Day 33–12/28–182.0
    Day 34–12/29–181.6
    Day 35–12/30–181.4
    Week 5 goal: 180.0 (-1.8)
    Actual: 181.4 :-(

    Day 36–12/31–180.6 (Trend 181.2)
    Day 37–1/1–181.6 (T 181.2) Yesterdays binge manifests
    Day 38–1/2–182.4 (T 181.4). No idea why 🤷‍♀️
    Day 39–1/3
    Day 40–1/4
    Day 41–1/5
    Day 42–1/6
    Week 6 goal: 179.5 (-1.9)

    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.

    Day 36 – 1/1 - 145.4 - double ouch. I did eat some fun food and went into the red, but also they were salty, so I drank a great deal of water. Hoping that it is just that. I definitely did not eat 3 pounds of food.
    Day 37 – 1/2 - 144.6 - Yesterday was a write off for me. I had my second shingles shot Saturday afternoon and suffered all day Sunday with side effects. I barely got in any activity even though my plan was to get outside lots. Friday I am having a steroid shot into my ankle joint and have to stay off of my feet for 48 hours, hence the reason for really wanting to get out on the trails this weekend. All good, I would much rather not get shingles. I fit in just a few dance workout songs yesterday.
    Day 38 – 1/3
    Day 39 – 1/4
    Day 40 – 1/5
    Day 41 – 1/6
    Day 42 – 1/7

    6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
    6th Week Actual Weight: Started the week at 145.4
    Excess calories burned (In the green):



    Start weight of the 100: 142.2
    Goal 132.2

    100 Days of Accountability 11/26-3/5
    I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

    Female, Age 62, 5’3”
    Challenge Starting Weight: 229.1 (11/27)
    Challenge Goal: <219
    History & Goals
    Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
    2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021) NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021
    2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022)
    2023 SW: 232 BMI 41.1 (1/1/2023)

    UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
    🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:
    * Making below 225 stick
    * Into the teens again: <220
    * Less than I started this year 2022: <209
    * Prior to Oct 2021 roadtrip damage: <206
    * Onederland: 199
    * Obese stage 1 BMI 34.9: 197
    * 50 lbs lost never to be found: 195

    My goal for 2023 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; derailed in 2022; recommit 1/3/2023)
    🔹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)

Decided that for January I will strive for lower carb days (not Keto) and cut out candy, cookies and bread but retain rice, potatoes and pasta in my menu planning.

    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
    2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021) NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021
    2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022)
    2023 SW: 232 BMI 41.1 (1/1/2023)

    UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
    🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:
    * Making below 225 stick
    * Into the teens again: <220
    * Less than I started this year 2022: <209
    * Prior to Oct 2021 roadtrip damage: <206
    * Onederland: 199
    * Obese stage 1 BMI 34.9: 197
    * 50 lbs lost never to be found: 195

    My goal for 2023 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; derailed in 2022; recommit 1/3/2023)
    🔹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 39: 01/03 - 230.2 (@ 2am) - Back on track. Journal every bite, 80oz water, AF, packed away all the Christmas decor into the attic (lots of stairs). Decided that for January I will strive for lower carb days (not Keto) and cut out candy, cookies and bread but retain rice, potatoes and pasta in my menu planning.

    @Lilylady3k This sounds like a great plan. I think I will cut out candy (except my Russell Stover's Sugar Free), cookies and rice. I will keep bread for sandwiches or toast but I will use carb smart. I will limit potatoes and keep pasta in my meal plan also. Now that I am allowed, I will use my exercise bike daily, and I will dance a couple times per week in my livingroom. I am also going to look into couch yoga or couch exercising as I can't jump up & down anymore or get up & down off the floor. It's something for seniors and is an interesting concept that I'd like to try. I'll check youtube. I would also like to incorporate IF 16:8 if my sugar doesn't drop too low. I definitely have to lower the carbs so the carby items in my diet will be in careful porportions. My, it all sounds so easy on paper! Now, if I can just do it! 10 pounds, here we come! Nice to have you back M'Lady. Dawn is ready too!

    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!

    145320379.png

    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

    Day 38-01/02-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) Forgot to weigh while getting ready to leave. Sucked down too much coffee prior. Traveling today, tomorrow and the next day. I hope 3 days in a row of travel does not derail me.

    Day 39-01/03-199.8-(Trend weight 199.3) After travel, I suppose it could have been worse. Gotta keep in Onederland. Travel again today but it won’t be nearly as far. With a good protein breakfast I can probably bypass lunch out. My son will want it and the travel is for him. I’ll probably do a drive-thru for him and just have a lunch at home within plan. Time to get super serious!

    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.

    Day 36 – 1/1 - 145.4 - double ouch. I did eat some fun food and went into the red, but also they were salty, so I drank a great deal of water. Hoping that it is just that. I definitely did not eat 3 pounds of food.
    Day 37 – 1/2 - 144.6 - Yesterday was a write off for me. I had my second shingles shot Saturday afternoon and suffered all day Sunday with side effects. I barely got in any activity even though my plan was to get outside lots. Friday I am having a steroid shot into my ankle joint and have to stay off of my feet for 48 hours, hence the reason for really wanting to get out on the trails this weekend. All good, I would much rather not get shingles. I fit in just a few dance workout songs yesterday.
    Day 38 – 1/3 - 144.0 - Couldn't sleep last night. Quite worried about the shot in the ankle and the recovery time to get back to work. Short shift today at the restaurant but lots of Foster Grant jobs to do which might not get done. The pharmacist that gave me my second Shingles shot said that side effects would last 7 days, but I think that I didn't believe him since the first shot didn't affect me too much. I am feeling run down and like I have the flu/cold. Soldiering on. Split shifts the next 2 after this and I will not be allowed to move about after Friday morning, so I will get everything that I need in to the house during my work breaks.
    Day 39 – 1/4
    Day 40 – 1/5
    Day 41 – 1/6
    Day 42 – 1/7

    6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
    6th Week Actual Weight: Started the week at 145.4
    Excess calories burned (In the green):



    Start weight of the 100: 142.2
    Goal 132.2

    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 😞.

    History:
    52 year old woman, 5’7”
    1990s—120s.
    2000s—140s.
    2008–160s.
    2012, my 1st diet—230.8, got down to 180s then relapsed.
    2021–212.6. Got down to 159.2.
    CW—185.8.
    GW—145


    Day 24–12/19 start 185.8
    Day 25–12/20–185.0
    Day 26–12/21–184.0. Looks like I had more water on board than I thought. I expect the loss to decelerate once I’m done getting rid of the water weight.🫤
    Day 27–12/22–182.4.
    Day 28–12/23–181.8
    Week 4 goal: 184.7 (-1.1)
    Progress to goal: -4.0

    Day 29–12/24–182.4–very busy shift last night, no water intake. Tonight doesn’t look much better, three nurses short. Gotta find a way to get the water in, though.
    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.
    Day 31–12/26–182.8. Sigh.
    Day 32–12/27–183.6.
    Day 33–12/28–182.0
    Day 34–12/29–181.6
    Day 35–12/30–181.4
    Week 5 goal: 180.0 (-1.8)
    Actual: 181.4 :-(

    Day 36–12/31–180.6 (Trend 181.2)
    Day 37–1/1–181.6 (T 181.2) Yesterdays binge manifests
    Day 38–1/2–182.4 (T 181.4). No idea why 🤷‍♀️
    Day 39–1/3–181.4 (T181.3)
    Day 40–1/4
    Day 41–1/5
    Day 42–1/6
    Week 6 goal: 179.5 (-1.9)

    @Lilylady3k This sounds like a great plan. I think I will cut out candy (except my Russell Stover's Sugar Free), cookies and rice. I will keep bread for sandwiches or toast but I will use carb smart. I will limit potatoes and keep pasta in my meal plan also. Now that I am allowed, I will use my exercise bike daily, and I will dance a couple times per week in my livingroom. I am also going to look into couch yoga or couch exercising as I can't jump up & down anymore or get up & down off the floor. It's something for seniors and is an interesting concept that I'd like to try. I'll check youtube. I would also like to incorporate IF 16:8 if my sugar doesn't drop too low. I definitely have to lower the carbs so the carby items in my diet will be in careful porportions. My, it all sounds so easy on paper! Now, if I can just do it! 10 pounds, here we come! Nice to have you back M'Lady. Dawn is ready too!


    @deepwoodslady - Yes it all sounds great on paper! You nailed it. I'm journalling everything and using portion control as well. Getting rid of 10 pounds before the 100 day challenge ends.

    @dawnbgethealthy - I think the shingles double shot was much more difficult than the 1 round of Covid shots. And that is saying something. But it is great that you made it a priority!!! Did you do the covid booster that came out in Sept this year? It was easy peasy ... no side affects for either DH or myself.

    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!

    145320379.png

    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.

    Day 39-01/03-199.8-(Trend weight 199.3) After travel, I suppose it could have been worse. Gotta keep in Onederland. Travel again today but it won’t be nearly as far. With a good protein breakfast I can probably bypass lunch out. My son will want it and the travel is for him. I’ll probably do a drive-thru for him and just have a lunch at home within plan. Time to get super serious!

    Day 40-01/04-198.8-(Trend weight 193.3) Down one pound today which puts me inching away from The 200’s. I’m happy about that but my trendweight stayed the same. I guess it doesn’t trust me and I don’t blame it. Travel today for cardiac rehab.

    @dawnbgethealthy - I think the shingles double shot was much more difficult than the 1 round of Covid shots. And that is saying something. But it is great that you made it a priority!!! Did you do the covid booster that came out in Sept this year? It was easy peasy ... no side affects for either DH or myself.

    I had a Shingles shot years ago, it was supposed to be one and done. 2012 I think that it was.
    Anyway, the Pharmacist that I was talking to during my 4th Covid shot (same guy gave me my flu shot) and I discussed this and he said that what I received at that time was no longer very protective. Yes, the first Shingles shot in November didn't bother me at all, a bit of a sore arm only.
    With the second shot he warned me of fatigue, nausea, fever, chills, headache, rash, and insomnia. That all came true, I woke (only slept 1/5 hours the whole night) with the rash yesterday, I had the shot on Saturday. My jaw has been sore the whole time.
    This morning the rash (down the injection arm) is much diminished. I had a couple of drinks after work yesterday, and a sleeping pill before bed.
    Gearing up now for my steroid injection into my ankle joint Friday. I am taking that day off and then have Saturday and Sunday off always. The first 48 hours are supposed to be awful. Getting all of my various ice packs and stuff into the freezer because only that and Tylenol are allowed to deal with the (extreme?) pain as the crystals from the steroid begin to form inside of the joint.
    I have to stay off of it, so no cross country skiing, dance workouts, trail walks etc. I am such a perpetual motion girl, this will be new for me! Planning on just eating and watching HGTV. I have lots of food prepped into portioned containers in the freezer, and will pick up anything else that I need before I can't drive.
    Local anasthetic wears off after 4 hours. I will take Tylenol before it wears off in order to stay ahead of the pain.
    Outcome should present itself within 2-6 weeks.
    An unexpected physical break for me for a few days is going to feel weird emotionally and mentally.

    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.

    Day 36 – 1/1 - 145.4 - double ouch. I did eat some fun food and went into the red, but also they were salty, so I drank a great deal of water. Hoping that it is just that. I definitely did not eat 3 pounds of food.
    Day 37 – 1/2 - 144.6 - Yesterday was a write off for me. I had my second shingles shot Saturday afternoon and suffered all day Sunday with side effects. I barely got in any activity even though my plan was to get outside lots. Friday I am having a steroid shot into my ankle joint and have to stay off of my feet for 48 hours, hence the reason for really wanting to get out on the trails this weekend. All good, I would much rather not get shingles. I fit in just a few dance workout songs yesterday.
    Day 38 – 1/3 - 144.0 - Couldn't sleep last night. Quite worried about the shot in the ankle and the recovery time to get back to work. Short shift today at the restaurant but lots of Foster Grant jobs to do which might not get done. The pharmacist that gave me my second Shingles shot said that side effects would last 7 days, but I think that I didn't believe him since the first shot didn't affect me too much. I am feeling run down and like I have the flu/cold. Soldiering on. Split shifts the next 2 after this and I will not be allowed to move about after Friday morning, so I will get everything that I need in to the house during my work breaks.
    Day 39 – 1/4 - 143.4 - A good night's sleep is always favourable for weight loss I feel. As for pasta, I moved to nupasta and various other brands made from the root of Kanjac several years ago. I honestly can't tell the difference. I make it with: marinara meatballs, a mix of fresh garlic, shredded chicken, parmesan, and sour cream, peanut sauce made from the dried kind (90% less calories), shredded pork. Before finding this pasta I didn't really eat pasta at all. The entire package of it is 10 calories, so I pile on the meat, cheese and stuff. Perfect texture. I had experimented with Spaghetti Squash, but find it a bit too wet unless baked, and way more work than opening a package of Kanjac and giving it a rinse.
