My goal for this round is to just keep showing up and posting here. I did well last round to get back in track but I have been losing focus and dropping out during the last few rounds. I know if I don't post I will gain. I still have around 1 pound to lose to get back to my lowest weight recorded during these challenges so that will be my goal for this round. I will certainly think twice before taking a diet break next time!

I need to turn this around. I have pre logged everything today. I will exercise of the elliptical after this post. "If you don't do what's best for your body, you're the one who comes up on the short end." - Julius Erving.
6/4: 163.8 lbs
I achieved my daily goals yesterday. Now I need to consistently do this for the rest of the round.
6/5: 163.1 lbs
6/6: 163.8 lbs
6/7: 162.9 lbs
My weight graphing tool tells me my weight is trending down finally. I have been consistent with achieving my daily goals. If I maintain this weight through to the end of the challenge, I will be satisfied.
6/8: 161.8 lbs
I think I am dehydrated and very stressed which has resulted in the overnight drop.
6/9: 162.9 lbs
I am feeling better hydrated today so my weight yesterday was probably just a blip.

Ate a tiny bit over calorie goal, including 2 bickies. I also had pasta for dinner which tends to add to weight the next day. On top of this, I only did a short workout as I was quite tired and also wanted to save my legs for a run today. I did lose some body fat percentage so that is a definite win 🏆 I'm planning on having a couple of drinks tonight, nothing crazy. It will be interesting to see tomorrow's weigh in. Alcohol always makes my face so puffy.9 -
I love this idea! I would love to join the next one. Part of the reason I chose MFP to kickstart my journey is because I know community will be a motivator in my progress. Look forward to doing this thing with you all.12

☀️This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE☀️
Just a retired 64 years young gal from Oregon, looking to be 15 pounds lighter and a bit less lumpy in my clothes! I am also doing intermittent fasting and would like to take a page out of Amanda’s goal plans to only do alcohol 5/10 days (or less).

Forgot to post this at start of Challenge. OW 85.5 kg (65 days ago) GW 72 kg by the end of the year - and sustain it for 2 years!
5/31 81 kg = up 0.5 kg since last weigh in. Boo! Hiss! My plan is to cut out snacks between meals and be ultra scrupulous about tracking.
SW Round 225
6/1 Cos it's already the start of the month where I am. 80.5 kg - poop! poop! eat lots of fiber! - TMI!
6/2 80.3 kg. Not sure of 100% accuracy of scale as it is analog, but I'm too environmentally conscious (and too cheap!) to splash out for a new digital scale. Also SOMEONE keeps shifting the position of the scale, so I keep trying to get it back to the same spot on the bathroom floor. Also I went for a 2 hour walk, which burned up 400 calories, but I only ate an extra 200 over my 1240 limit. The walk was a double bonus because I found a total of .60 cents (.37 US cents) think I'll keep a little jar of all the money I find and buy myself a little reward at the end of the challenge.
6/3 80.3 kg - I forgot to weigh myself before breakfast (pancakes made from scratch, so prob healthier than a mix) Went for a 3 hour walk and had a ham and egg sandwich with black coffee at a cafe - but I passed on the ginger crunch! I found .30 cents (US $0.18) and an Australian $2 coin (???USD) I Have decided I will put any money found plus money saved from passing up ginger crunch and any other snacks and goodies toward renewing my passport, and hopefully, eventually, a trip to Oz - it will be my reward if I can get to my GW and stay there for 2 years.
6/4 80 kg! - yay! First time in 3 years. Raining hard today so mostly stayed inside listening to Wagner and knitting a scarf (I have yarn for a sweater, but won't knit that until GW or I'll have to remake it). I did go to Mass, remembering to fast beforehand this time. After we had a shared lunch of cream of pumpkin soup and ciabatta rolls ... and raspberry slice....
Me to Father: That pink frosting reminds me of St Valentine's Day.
Father: An excellent theological reason for having some (offers me a large piece)
Me: Get away from me, Satan!
He howled .... and I ate the darn thing anyway .... then I stopped at the store on the way home to get milk, and they had crumpets at reduced price .... so I ate the whole packet with butter and honey....
.... I've only had a couple of apples since. Should I go to Confession again now? Or take full advantage until next Sunday?
6/5 80 kg. Today was a Public Holiday (thanks King Charles!) so mostly lazed around and had a few treats. But I did go for a stroll in the park and listened to the band playing, so came in at just 2 calories under my net limit.
6/6 80.1 kg. I am turning 65 next month and retiring - my job is only pt but been working more recently with tidying up various ends and training my replacement. Today we had lunch provided, but I only ate one sandwich, one savory and no sweets. I did walk to and from work, 35 mins each way. I will have to find another way to motivate myself to walk once I retire.
6/7 Today is my 70th consecutive day posting on MFP. Down to 79.8 kg and a pair of jeans I formerly had to squeeeeze into slip on more easily. I ate light for breakfast and lunch, only fruit for a snack, and felt the need for something heartier at dinner. So I made the Poorman's Meal from Depression Cooking with Clara, using a cheese sausage a found in the back of the freezer. It was good, if a little greasy, and very filling for just over 500 calories - I added some Greek yogurt for extra protein. Next time I will try reducing the potato and adding other veg like carrots, and some chickpeas.
6/8 79.5 - yes! one whole kilo lost! And took 71 days to drop 6 kilos. I need to lose another 6 kg to get to the healthy range BMI.
6/9 79.5 kg. I did eat one piece of KFC chicken today - just one. No fries or any other extras. It's okay to say Yes to yourself every now and then so long as you say No most of the time.
6/10 79.2 kg - very happy with the success of this Challenge. Also I lost another inch off my waist and hips. I did go 21 cals over my net limit, but no biggie - still leaves a generous margin for weight loss. I'm not planning to jump immediately into another 10 Day Challenge: I will take a break for a few days - not planning to indulge, just maintain - and then on the 15th I will start the 100 Day Challenge - I think I can get to GW by then.
ETA I found $2.10 on my daily walk (US$1.30) I now have a total of $6.20 (US3.84)7 -

6/1 145.6 (trend 146.4) New round, new month, let's go!! I really need to push myself harder in June as I've been coasting along for the last 2 months and getting too comfortable. I'm upping my round step target by 15,000 steps and committing to no alcohol until I'm on holiday on 20th. I will go for a 4 mile walk every morning and strength train 4 times per week minimum. I will stick to my calorie target and prioritise nutritious food. Any sneaky bites will be logged, no cheating! I need a breakthrough...
Yesterday was 1.5hr lower body strength training and 4.3 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 12,755
6/2 144.8 (trend 146.2) Yes! Into the lower 140s finally! Lots of peeing yesterday so I must've had a lot of retained water.
Yesterday was 0.5hr upper body strength training and 4.3 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 13,005
6/3 145.0 (trend 146.0) Back up a little, just a normal fluctuation I expect, as I have eaten exactly the same thing for the last 3 days, with the exception of having salty ham instead of chicken yesterday.
Yesterday was 50 minutes lower body strength training and 4.1 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 13,745
6/4 144.4 (trend 145.8) Glad to see things are steadily moving in the right direction, just need to keep it up. OH wants to do a barbecue tonight, I'm not keen on having the temptation, as this will mean beers in the sunshine, which I find so hard to resist. He's been away visiting friends this weekend so I've found it a lot easier to stick to my plan. Hopefully, as he's already had a fun weekend, I can talk him out of it. Being on a calorie deficit can be sooo boring at times!
Yesterday was a rest day from the gym. 4.4 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 12,695
6/5 145.0 (trend 145.7) I dyed my hair yesterday, after umming and ahhing for ages, and I love it! It's sort of light brown and looks really natural and classy, phew! I lost the battle over the barbecue, so did end up over calories by a lot BUT I avoided drinking beer, yay! Big win! I bought an alcohol-free botanical gin which really did the job mixed with tonic, and even made me feel tipsy for some reason. It was only 10 cals per 50ml, as opposed to about 100 cals for normal gin. It's called Clean G, try it! Bit of a gain today due to the extra food in my system I expect. I had cajun chicken breast, jackfruit slaw and spicy bombay rice (all from Morrisons), then later snacked on a sausage and a couple of Twister minis... oh, and some of my daughter's Hagen Daz, oops.
Yesterday was a rest day from the gym, 5 mile morning walk, calories approx 600 over, alcohol free.
STEPS 14,482
6/6 144.6 (trend 145.6) I decided to start training towards doing pull ups at the gym, it's going to be a long journey! I can hang from the bar and engage my lateral and shoulder muscles, but no upwards movement at all. I'll try to make time for practicing at every gym session. Made a massive batch of hot and sour chicken soup yesterday, which is my staple lunch most days at the moment. Happy to see a drop on the scale today, as I ate most of my calories very late last night and had to get up early today.
Yesterday was 1hr20 upper body at the gym, 3.8 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 11,132
6/7 143.8 (trend 145.3) I did not think I would see the 143s this round, yay! I had to drive OH to Surrey and back yesterday morning so no morning walk. We got back just in time for me to go to an appointment for some under eye treatment at the beauty therapists, which left me looking a bit bruised and freakish, so I decided not to go out for fear of scaring little children! Still got some swelling this morning and it's a cloudy day so can't really hide behind sunglasses for my walk, I'll just have to brave it.
Yesterday was one week of no alcohol, calories good.
STEPS 3,925
6/8 143.0 (trend 145.0) Wow, another drop! Cutting out alcohol has made such a huge difference to me. I'm excited to see where I'll be if I keep this up until 21st when I go away on holiday. Just 0.2 more pounds will put me in the healthy range bmi bracket, which will be a great feeling!
Yesterday was 1hr30 lower body at the gym, 4.9 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 14,509
6/9 142.6 (144.7) There it is, no longer overweight bmi, I'm thrilled! The family ordered Domino's pizza last night. I went for a walk while they were placing the order, so I wasn't tempted to add anything for myself, and by the time I got back it was all eaten, thankfully. Although I did munch on my daughter's left-over crusts, but I skipped dinner so I'm not too worried.
I didn't go to the gym yesterday, although I planned to, but I had some chores that really needed doing, so they took precedent. No big morning walk either, but I did walk to the post office carrying a big heavy parcel, and then walked around town for a bit.
I hope I can avoid a bounce back tomorrow, it would be great to finish this round in my new bmi range.
Yesterday was no gym, 5.7 miles total, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 12,175
6/10 141.4 (trend 144.3) What? Another 1.2lbs gone, it can't just be from cutting out alcohol can it? And anyway, on that note, I did have a tiny drop of whisky in my diet coke last night, just for a bit of flavour. Walked the fields in the morning, then on to town to get a sun hat I'd spotted in a charity shop, plus visit the weekly market for veg, and popped into the butchers for barbecue stuff. It's going to be a hot hot weekend here, after weeks of sun but cold winds, it's about time summer kicked in! Went to the gym in the afternoon, then we checked out a monthly street food pop-up our town hosts, where I had a small ice cream. Sat in the last of the evening sun at a pub with a soda water and lime, then walked to tesco with my daughter to pick up some dinner for her and OH. A really lovely day!
I'm very happy with my progress this round but slightly wary of the barbecue planned for this evening, OH is in charge and always cooks so much food, so it's very easy to overeat. I'm expecting a gain tomorrow, just hopefully not too much. On to the next round!
Yesterday was 1.5hr upper body at the gym, 3.4 miles morning walk, calories good.
STEPS 14,554
STEP total: 122,797/100,000 round goal7 -
]65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 225 (my 156th). Aim to get back under and stay under 139 and hopefully lose a pound. Need to stay on track. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

Round 225
SW 139.2
6/1 139.2 – 6.92 miles walked, a fifth of exercise calories eaten back, but 49 carbs over as friend brought a small slice of her 60th birthday cake from the party on Saturday evening, as I had the calories I did indulge.
6/2 139.2 – relieved that number has not gone up; no structured walking yesterday: DS, DIL & little DGDs took me out for afternoon tea as a belated birthday present, then we went out to the Peak District for the little ones to play on the rocks and to enjoy the fresh air & nature, was 920 calories over and I did rein in my choices! (I did take the coffee & walnut cake home to share with DH) Maybe I should have accompanied DS on his 15K run this morning first – no way, I don’t like running!!!
6/3 140.4 – There’s those extra calories. No structured walking again yesterday; lots of other commitments during the day, couldn’t fit it in.
6/4 141.4 – Ughh !! Don’t ask !! Pick myself back up and start again. Went to Alton Towers with all the family, spent the day around the little children’s area, all DGC had a brilliant day on their rides as did their grand/parents !! DH, SIL & myself did sneak a cheeky ride on Nemesis as the queue was only 5 minutes long – stunning!! Consciously ate my own picnic & chose a 98 calorie ice lolly over a 298 white chocolate Magnum, but when I got home !!! 7 miles walked.
6/5 139.8 – 7.44 miles walked yesterday, went out for Sunday lunch with all my siblings, our last meeting before DB and SIL move to Turkey to live, we ate late which meant that during the evening I only had a dish of strawberries and natural yogurt.
6/6 140.2 – 10.4 miles walked yesterday, ¾ exercise calories eaten back.
6/7 138.8 - 10 miles walked yesterday, 25% of exercise calories eaten back. The scale numbers are very erratic this round!
6/8 138.8 – 11.41 miles walked, two thirds of exercise calories eaten back. Will be happy if I can maintain this weight to the end of the challenge, 2 more days to stay consistent!
6/9 139.4 – 7.86 miles walked, two thirds of exercise calories eaten back.
6/10. 139.4 - 10.87 miles walked, the quarters exercise calories eaten back. Didn't meet either if my goals this round, so will carry these forward to the next one. In a better mind set for the majority of the 10 days, just one little little blip!!
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!!7 -
Switched to my new scale, so hopefully my weights will be more accurate.
Round 225
Starting Weight- 147
Current weight- 148
10 Day Goal-I would love to get down to and stay under my starting weight. Keep up healthier eating. exercise the majority of days, and drink more water. I also need to remember to take my vitamins.
Ultimate Goal Weight: Sub 130
6/1 145.9 No gym, but maintained calories. Did a bit of meal prep.
6/2 145.2 Today was spent doing major housework. No gym, but definitely an active day. Ended up missing lunch and have junk for dinner. I'm guessing I came in around calories but wan't able to find an accurate amount.
6/3 145.0 No gym again today, but Went to Sea World and walked around. Waited until I got home to eat. Came in under calories.
6/4 145.9 I am so tired today and my back and thighs are sore. Trying to convince myself to get up and move, but really just want to stay in bed. Okay, I forced myself to get up and get moving. Managed to complete a 90 minute walk. Still tired but feeling accomplished. Stayed under calories.
6/5 145.5 34 minute walk. Stayed under calories.
6/6 145.0 65 minute walk. More meal prepping. Under on calories.
6/7 144.8 Finally got my walk in at 10pm. 44minute walk. Under calories. Having some food premade and measured is definitely helping.
6/8 144.4 Another late night walk. 47 minutes. Under calories. Dentist tomorrow.
6/9 143.9 No exercise today, but did stay under calories.

6/1 – 147 lbs – Okay, starting another 10 days. Let’s do this! 12 lbs to my goal.
6/2 – 146.6 lbs -
6/3 – 146.8 lbs – Well, I don’t have much success to report over the last few days! I keep eating things that I know are going to put me over 1350 for the day, so I give up logging and then eat the whole house. (I am very hungry; I am likely premenstrual.) I am taking a friend out to lunch today so I am concerned about what I will choose and the calories. It is her pick for the restaurant, so… we shall see. I should try to log either way, even if it is only an estimate. That being said, I have a lot of exercise planned for today, so that is a good thing. Yesterday, the only success I had was getting 20k plus steps. I logged off work early because I was having too much anxiety…
6/4 – 146.4 lbs – Really over-ate yesterday at lunch with a friend. I was craving carbs soooo much. I stuffed myself and then suggested we go for ice-cream. ☹ I need to reign it in. Luckily I walked over 13 miles yesterday, according to Fitbit. But I am sure that yesterday’s over-eating will show up on the scale tomorrow. That is how the scale works, for me, a lot of the time. At the very least I am continuing to weigh myself daily, which gives me vital information about what is going on with my body. I know that when I do not weigh myself daily I can gain a significant amount of weight in a very short time. So continuing to weigh in is very important, I know that, at least. I have learned at least one thing, in my 53 years. Lol.
6/5 – 144 lbs – Woo hoo! Only 9 lbs from goal. Yesterday I did a tonne of exercise, so I guess that showed up on the scale; mind you I am probably dehydrated, as well. I will try to keep it together today and see if the loss is maintained, as of tomorrow morning. (I should probably also try to drink a bit more today, although I did drink 6/8 cups yesterday.) Yesterday I also logged everything, which I haven’t done in a long while. I also did a bike ride yesterday! I did not take note of how long the ride was but it was a least 20 mins, for sure. It was super fun and I am proud of the fact that I realized that I should NOT do a 2 hour ride or whatever as my first ride of the season. Lol. I knew if I rode for too long that I’d be sore and I would then not want to do it again. So, progress! 😊
6/6 – 143 lbs – Woo Hoo! I’m 4 lbs down so far this round and 8 lbs to goal!! I’m super proud of myself because, last night around 8 pm I really started to crave McDonald’s and I almost ordered delivery. Ultimately, I ate another fibre bar and went to sleep. So my calories were a bit higher than I would have liked (but still “under”) but I think it is better than ordering McDonald’s. Going to try to get a total of 210 miles worth of steps during the month of June. (an average of about 15K steps per day). Wish me luck!
6/7 – 142 lbs – Wow! I’m shocking myself!! Not sure what my body is up to. Lol. I’m 5 lbs down so far this round and 7 lbs to goal! Yayyyy, me!
6/8 – 141.8 lbs – Oops, McDonald’s happened last night…. ☹
6/9 – 143.0 lbs – Down 4 lbs this round and 8 lbs to goal. Gave up on logging yesterday (that is two days in a row). Ate two pieces of toast with peanut butter and jam before bed. I never used to be hungry at night, or if I was, I’d be satisfied with a cheese string, or yogurt, etc. But now I am always craving carbs, and I am able to eat a lot more than I typically would. It’s mysterious and discouraging. Hubby will be home from California today, but only till Monday. ☹ I doubt (based on past behaviour) that I will stick to counting calories while he is here.
6/10 – 143.6 lbs - Down 3.4 lbs this round and 8.6 lbs to goal. That is pretty decent and I am happy with my success. I am adjusting my goals for the next round and I have decided to make a change to my “long term goal”. For the last few months I had decided that I wanted to see if I could stay under 150 lbs for 12 months. That goal was set, in a way, just to see if I could manage to maintain any kind of semi-healthy weight for any period of time, because I have never done so, in my entire life. (I have been up and down in an extremely erratic way since my first diet at the age of 11, where the doctor prescribed diet pills and my hair fell out. Good times.) Since the end of February, I have been able to maintain that goal, so that is some semblance of success, so far. Since I have been able to do that, for a little while, I decided to dial it in a bit. Recently my height was taken for a bone density scan, and I was told that I am now shorter than I used to be, which alarmed my crazy *kitten*, since I instantly realized it would change my BMI calculations. (Caaarazeeeeee!) So it appears that anything higher than 145.6 lbs will put me in the “overweight” category. Therefore, I have decided to change my long-term goal to trying to stay under 145.6 lbs for 12 months, whereupon, if I am successful, I will plan my circumferential body lift. This means that I will need to stay under 145.6 lbs until June 5, 2024. So that is my new/revised goal. I am also saying to myself, “wait, the plastic surgeon said you have 5-10 lbs of skin to come off, still”… which would put me well into the “normal” BMI category. So, why not start planning the circumferential body lift now? I dunno, I guess it is a bit of a game for me, since I can’t really afford to the do the surgery right now anyway. Lol. We need to pay off all the damn debt I racked up redecorating my entire apartment during lockdown! Plus I don’t really want to schedule that much time off work at the moment, since I had to take a leave last summer for mental health. (I believe the surgery requires a 6-week recovery period.) Anyway, it will be interesting to see if I can maintain this weight. Honestly, even if I never hit 135 (which is my current goal weight), it would be a frickin’ miracle if I could maintain ~145 for 12 months. I tend to mess around with my various goals, from time to time. It is fun, for me. Kind of a mental game to keep me interested and challenged, but at the same time trying to not be too crazy. 😊 Well, overall, like I said above, I am happy with my progress this round. I think I need to work on dialing it in on the water and exercise goals. See you all in the next round, tomorrow. (For which I cannot locate the link?)

6/1 218.8
6/2 217.7 I decided to make a fasting calendar for the month. I think this will help me. Part of my problem is food waste. I cook enough for several meals & I am the only one that eats leftovers. This month I will do food prep only so meals are quick to throw together.
6/3 218.6 Not sure why I popped up today but I will be fasting until supper tomorrow. I may allow some small things (like celery & hummus) but I will not be eating any full meals.
6/4 218.2 I feel like the scale is moving in the right direction. I was sooooo hungry yesterday so I did not fast. I just could not do it. Trying again today. I will also prep for meals for the upcoming week. I have simple quick meals planned (fast fry steak, mushrooms & eggs, spicy garlic shrimp with broccoli & spinach & a taco salad (no cheese this week)). I will have everything cut up so the cooking time will be under 15 minutes. Easy peasy & quicker than take out even!
6/5 217.2 Yay! the scale is cooperating! I was again unable to fast yesterday so I may just concentrate on hitting my protein goal every day & just do an extended summer solstice fast. I feel there is more healing (& weight loss) with a longer fast for me. I usually don’t struggle after the first 3 days so attempting these short fasts has been tough, especially since I went way off track last round. I’ll get there. One day at a time
6/6 216.9 I am happy to have recommitted this round/month. I kind of wasted all of that time on the fasting calendar, but I am mentally preparing for a fast at the end of the month & maybe I will do some longer breaks between meals. I made spicy garlic shrimp with broccoli & spinach last night. It was super quick, easy & so tasty. It will definitely be in my weekly rotation. High protein, low carbs & calories. Almost the perfect meal for me.
6/7 216.4 I don’t know what was going on the past 2 weeks. I was still weighing, logging my food & doing the same exercise but my body would not lose. I guess it realizes that I am serious and going to lose this weight so it is cooperating. Not on my original timeline but whatever I am not giving up. I am sure this will happen again and I will need to remember to be patient & consistent. Lots of healing went on in the past 3 weeks. I am able to walk better, my hips & feet hurt less & I feel stronger.
6/8 216.2 this round has been a good restart for me. I am happy that I am back at it & did not take a longer break.
6/9 215.4 I am happy to see that number on the scale. I really struggled with the scale last round. Today is DHs birthday & at his request we are going to a Chinese buffet. It has been a planned treat day for a month. The good thing about a buffet is that there are no leftovers tomorrow. I may fast until supper & I won’t bother getting my moneys worth. I know I will be up tomorrow but I also know it won’t be a real gain, just a temporary one.
6/10 217.6 I knew this would happen. That’s a pretty big gain for 1 meal. I didn’t even have wine! A Chinese buffet is not a good place to go when you are focused on the scale. The good things are that I still show a loss for this round, there are no leftovers & I am right back on track today. It will be interesting to see how quickly my body releases the weight from that one meal

6/10 - 152.2 - Aha! There it is. I listened to my hunger cues, avoided a third serving, ate my salad (veg), remembered to take my lactose pills (essential to this loss of bloating), and drank my dandelion tea before bed. Today is race day! SD's first non-school-sanctioned running race and our first time running together. I'm a tad nervous but that's just because it's a new place and lots of people unlike my normal runs. Then packing to leave for the beach tomorrow. Depending on when we get up and when we leave, I may not post tomorrow. We shall see. If not, I'll be back a couple days before end of next round to see what damage vacation did. Best of luck and cheering you on!
Previous Day's Comments6/01 - Sodium bloat from dinner. Also woke up with a swollen lymph node just on one side and it's uncomfortable to swallow. I pulled out my herbs and capsules to help boost myself a bit to get through this. Hoping it doesn't last long. Godson had strep on Saturday and I was around him beforehand so I'm hoping it's simply that (bacterial) versus a viral infection of sorts. Bacterial is much easier to deal with. Also hoping it doesn't impact my run I'm about to go do. I will take it easy and if I need to stop, I'll walk as my body needs to not overdo it.
6/02 - One swollen lymph node turned to 2 last night. Woke up with quite a bit of pressure pain and it was nearly impossible to swallow. I got up at 2am to do all the things to help relieve symptoms and curled up on the couch. Repeated that once before I gave in and here I am checking in. I'm planning on walking the dogs once I post and hopefully the fresh air will help a bit. I feel okay other than my lower sinus cavity and throat so hopefully I caught it early enough and it won't progress from here.
6/03 - DNP
6/04 - The best part is that I feel (and look) really bloated and this is my scale reading -- I hope that it means I've lost some by sticking to my goals despite being unwell. I'm still battling lymph node issues and now my sinuses are filled with mucus (not in the way of sinus infection, thankfully). I can tell, though, I'm on the mend as of this morning. Less pain and less swelling in my neck. Whew! Didn't get a chance to check in yesterday as it was our monthly Fire Dept Meeting, training, and then we were in charge of leading vehicle maintenance so we scheduled that after lunch. Once done with maintenance, we went swimming until dinnertime, which we realized we didn't thaw anything so I made my homemade pizza. I did listen to my body for lunch, only eating half the wrap and dinner, leaving the last slice I grabbed on my plate rather than eating it because it was there. NSV for sure, on both accounts! Both kiddos are shocked as last summer I was the ONE person who almost always finished their plate but not anymore. I did the same with steak Saturday night - didn't finish my plate when last summer I absolutely wouldn't have wanted the food to go to waste (who was it that made the garbage disposal analogy? I'm not a garbage disposal!) Today is smoked pork loin. Need to go to the store for a couple small items and will grab some sides as those haven't been figured out yet and will pre-log. Also taking the dogs for a walk before the forecasted storms roll in this afternoon/evening once BF wakes up and I can get into something other than PJs and slippers to go out gallivanting in haha!
6/05 - Feeling a tad bloated, but better than before. I'm feeling better in my sinus/throat area, too - not perfect, but definitely improved, so I lowered my herbal remedies which I think has helped with some bloating. I hit my goal of making down to 150-155 before the beach - now to maintain or lose more in the next 6 days! I ran this morning, took Harley while StepDaughter took Smoke. I have officially graduated from C25K! I might start looking into the 5k to 10k training this app has, also free, since I have a 5k in November to train for so I need something to keep me running. We also found out this weekend there's a gym somewhat nearby and with veteran status or first responder (which we are both) we can get a very cheap family (up to 4 people) membership. They have higher tiers (more members) but we only would need 4 during summer and 2 in winter anyway. Might look into it when we come back from the beach.
6/06 - The scale started at 153.6, bounced up to 154.2 and then finally settled at 153.9. I double checked, same number so it's solid. This makes me super happy! I also measured myself - My right thigh is nearly an inch bigger than my left. I really need to balance them - I know it's due to the nerve damage in my left sciatic. But!!!! I lost 1" on my hips and 1/2" on both my belly pooch and my waist (biggest and smallest part of abdomen, respectively). I can't see this progress, but now I know its there, yippee! Walked pups this morning and hoping to after dinner as well. Not sure exactly what dinner is, but it'll be the usual calorie-bomb Taco Tuesday fare. Tomorrow, also, is calorie bomb as my chicken bacon ranch stromboli was requested. At least tomorrow's a run day which will help offset. I'm pre-logging it today so I'm mentally prepared. Hopefully that reminder will be enough to get my out of bed and running when I know I won't want to.
6/07 - 100% cheese from homemade enchiladas last night. I forgot to take my lactose pills. Well, I remembered, but not when I had the ability to go take them and forgot by the time I could. Oops. My own fault. I remembered, once again, once I woke up and realized I felt (and looked) super bloated. I'll remedy that today. Though today I'll have to be on my best behavior - chicken bacon ranch stromboli for dinner tonight. I have to be super mindful about my intake. I've pre-logged dinner and I'll munch on veggies to ensure I only eat that pre-logged serving or less if I have to. I need to use up the veggies before our week-long vacation next week. I also need to figure out lunch today. I have shredded lettuce and 3 bell peppers to eat up before we leave so probably a salad. I'm sure SD will eat one with me if I ask. She likes veg almost same as me. I am determined to drop a bit more before the beach and feel comfortable again.
6/08 - Right back down - cheese bloat banished! I'm exceptionally proud of my focus and determination to maintain this loss through the week into next week. I hope I can keep this up through the week at the beach and come back having maintained or lost. I'm feeling pretty motivated. Hopefully SD is serious about waking up and running with me while we're there. She's wanted to the last couple trips but no-one would go with. I told her I would this time. Thirsty Thursday today and all I did so far was a walk - will need to be mindful of food choices. Eat slowly and listen to my body to ensure I'm not overeating. Thinking grilled chicken wrap (comes with veggies in it) or the club sandwich and ask for raw veg on the side (I know they at least have celery and carrots with the wings). Will depend on dinner plans, I suppose. Goal is to limit alcohol as I finished off my bottle of wine last night and I aim to drink fewer nights than I don't.
6/09 - No TMI coupled with chips and salsa at dinner out equals an inevitable uptick. I kept it sensible with shrimp fajitas and ate the tiny, broken chips for chips&salsa. Felt like I was eating a lot more of them (hand to mouth) but being smaller, it was less overall. Did splurge on skinny margarita, though. Tonight is lasagna roll ups so I'm making my grocery list and then logging it all. I'll add a salad as a side, as well, to sneak in extra veggies and help fill up on healthier carbs than just pasta. I'll also set a reminder to take my lactose pills so I don't feel so awful tomorrow morning. Got another easy walk this morning and will aim for one tonight, as well.10 -
Hello! New month...new round! I need to really work on consistency with tracking...EVERYDAY! It's tricky with being back and forth to my parents' place, which will continue this month. We leave for a big family trip to England and Scotland in 39 days and I would really like to be down to 160 by then so I don't need to worry about vacation gain taking me back up into the 170s, I never want to see them again. BUT...I seem to be stuck in a rut the last two weeks losing and gaining the same two pounds...bouncing up and down between 165 and 167. Time to break through that! Hoping my Dog Walk Challenge for the Canadian Cancer Society will get me out walking twice a day. Here's to keepin' on keepin' on!!
Female - 51yrs - 5.5"
Goal Weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R224 End weight - 167.2
6/1 - 166.6 - still in the 166 rut. We start our 50km Dog Walk Challenge for the month of June today. Hoping to get in a 4km hike this morning and then out for another 2ishkm tonight. Mack and I plan to blow past 50km and hopefully double it.
6/2 - 166.2 - Got a hike and a walk in yesterday....5.73/50km. Lots of stuff to do around the house before we head up to the weekend jobs this evening so morning walk will probably be shorter today, but hopefully we can get out tonight for another one when we get to mom and dad's.
6/3 - DNW - forgot to bring my scale with me so will not be weighing in until Monday. Food yesterday...not bad...but a few beers on the dock when we got here. Walked 3.27km with Mack so we are at 9/50km for our challenge. I also have already been up and walked 2 more with him before I head to work today...I can't remember the last time I went out before breakfast!!
6/4 - DNW - no scale until tomorrow. Busy day at work and the Mackadoodle swam all day so he was a tired old man dog...so no extra walk when I got home but we are at 11.14/50km. Weather has been beautiful....and beers on the dock for sunset is impossible to resist somehow. Food calories were pretty good though so...balance....maybe?
6/5 - 164.6 - so the weekend wasn't a disaster! Back home just for today to, heading back up tomorrow morning for a few days, will bring the scale with me this time.
6/6 - 164.8 - packing up for a few days at work and my parents this morning...heading out shortly. The wild fires in our province are wreaking havoc with the air quality. I'll be leaving Mack home while I"m away so I'll have to catch up on our walks over the weekend, hopefully the air will clear some by then.
6/7 - 165.6 - Thank you very much baked potato....should have left you and had salad instead! Made myself a salad with leftover roast chicken for lunch today to keep things light as I have no idea what my parents will make for dinner. Walking to work today to burn some extra calories, hopefully the air is better than yesterday but the reports on the radio this morning don't sound good. I feel so bad for all the people who have had to evacuate not knowing if they'll have a home to return to.
6/8 - 165.0 - Was feeling very snacky last night...didn't resist very well, but TOM is due any day now so at least I can explain it? Heading back home after work today, will see what the boys make me for dinner. We have a very busy weekend ahead, will try to make a plan.
6/9 - 165.0 - now seem to be stuck in the 165 rut...at least it's down. TOM arrived this morning, along with bloaty retention. Will get the Mackster our for a couple of kms to add to our count towards 50 when the drizzle stops. We're off to Toronto this evening, boys have tickets to a concert and hubby and I are going to catch a Jays game while we're down there, so dinner out...hopefully a fair bit of walking though...OH...editing to add...ONE MONTH until we leave for our UK trip!!!
6/10 - 165.0 - Yep...stuck...At least I'm down at the end of the round so that's a win!! Great night last night but ball game means beers...Got lots of walking in though. Today I'm heading out for a walk with the dog this morning and then we drive to Stratford to see RENT (tickets for Stratford Festival was by B-Day gift back in January). Will be lots of sitting so we will see what my next round starting weight will be....See you all in the next round!!7 -

Excited for another round. My goals for this round are to continue to log accurately, and to get into the normal weight range for the BMI. I am so close! 143 would put me at the top of the that range.

Day, Weight, Comment
6/01 - 183.8
Hot hot hot. You’d think I’d sweat a few pounds off! 😊 Happy June! Tomorrow I go for my evaluation for cataract surgery. Not very thrilled about it.
6/02 - 184.8
We had a very salty Mexican-ish salad for dinner, so I know this is water. Still depressing. I woke up with a huge adrenaline rush because of today’s eye evaluation (and, more, upcoming cataract surgery). I skipped breakfast, and still don’t feel great. Maybe a dog walk before we go will calm me down a bit. I’m sure my bp is up.
6/03 -
6/04 - 184.2
Apparently I forgot to log in yesterday. Figures — my schedule was off all day. Anyway…my cataract surgeries are scheduled for July 3 and 10. I’m nervous, but not quite as weirded out as I was before Friday’s evaluation. I am completely weirded out by my weight, though. After I walk the pupper and do some weeding, I’m going to sit down and make a new plan and talk to DH about how I eat and how I need — NEED — to change a few things that are grounded in eating together on his schedule. He likes to eat early (5 pm) and I realized yesterday that we essentially eat every four hours — 7:30-8, 12-1, 5. So no wonder I crave snacks around 9! I think I would do better eating my dinner around 7-8 (which is how I ate all my life before I met him). A lot of our conversation goes on over meals, of course, so I don’t want to miss that. Stuff to figure out!
6/05 - 185
This has to stop. I’m going the wrong way fast. I don’t know why I keep eating when I don’t need it and know it’s hurting me. I did really well yesterday until a friend brought her pup over for a play date with Booker, and she brought chips and dip that neither of us need. I tried not to eat any, but I did. That started an “I already messed up, might as well mess up more” spiral of popcorn and cheese later. What is wrong with me? Very depressed about it.
6/06 - 184.4
Sad that I think this is a better number. But ok, it is better than yesterday. Today is all planned, and hopefully I’ll stick to the plan. Have a great day, everyone!
6/07 - 183
Well, that’s a lovely surprise! I had a good day yesterday, and will try to repeat. To celecbrate, here’s my Graham Thomas rose this morning.
6/08 - 183.2
It’s a beautiful morning here, although we do have an air quality alert until midnight and May get smoke-hazy again this afternoon. We saw our first hummingbird of the season this morning — yay! I can’t plant annuals in the backyard this summer because somepuppy pulls them out, but we put up several hooks and I’m off to get some hanging baskets to attract the hummers. I love summer!
6/09 - 183
Exercise plan for the day — attack the horrible thistles trying to take over my gardens. I’ve never had a problem with thistles like this year and last. Hate ‘em! Trying to eat responsibly. I’m not quite there on the nighttime snacking, but I am weighing, measuring, and recording everything, so that’s better than mindless snarfing. Wishing you all a great Friday and wonderful weekend!
6/10 - 183
I ate too much yesterday, but apparently am burning some calories in the garden, and walking. More of that today! Happy Saturday!

Hi Everyone - I am not new to MFP, but I am new to posting. Trying to see if I can really keep myself on track this month of June and beginning of July before heading on long vacation for niece's wedding.
Female, 5'4", 57 years old
HW: 210 (May 2022) *edited after realizing I put the wrong year in. DOH!
CW: 152
GW: no idea... I hope I'll know it when I see it in the mirror... I think at least 10 more pounds need to go
Goals: Cardio 5/7 days (I don't think this will be difficult)
Bodyweight Train 3/7 days (I have been doing 1 day/week, telling myself I'll do 2 days/ week... but that hasn't happened)
Log Food 10/10 days (I'm really good on weekdays, not so good on weekends or holidays)
Round 225
6/1: 152 - logged food, walked 30 minutes after lunch, did 60 minute Cardio Dance class after work
6/2: 152 - logged food, walked 30 minutes after lunch (even in this 90 degree heat)
6/3: 154.6 - that's a sad surprise. I have been so frustrated seeing 152 every day that I was hoping I'd see something different on the scale this morning, but it certainly wasn't that. Logged food, did 60-minute Zumba class at gym this morning.
6/4: 153.4 - at least that is lower than yesterday. Logged food, did 30 minutes bodyweight training and 30 minutes light cardio.
6/5: 153.6 - I have already logged today's food since I meal prepped yesterday. I know I'll be doing a 30-minute walk after lunch.
6/6: 153.8 - I have logged my food and I have a 60-minute Cardio Dance class tonight after work... plus I will be doing a 30-minute walk after lunch.
6/7: 153.2 – I have logged my food. NOT going to do the after lunch walk today because we are in MD and getting the smoke from those horrible Canadian wildfires. I am going to do my bodyweight training and then add on 30 minutes of cardio. My obstacle will be making sure I just do it instead of deciding a nap would be better.
6/8: 151.2 – Oh yeah! Finally, some movement in the right direction. I believe it is because I joined this challenge, and it really has held me accountable to being honest with myself. I have not had any convenient amnesia about what I have been eating these past 7 days. I also DID do my bodyweight training and 30-minute cardio yesterday afternoon like I said I would. I didn’t want to. I wanted to take a nap. But I also didn’t want to disappoint myself, which is what would have inevitably happened. Then who knows what I would have eaten! I woke up this morning sore from the workout… but happy because that means I am building muscle. We still have terrible air quality due to those horrific wildfires so no outside walking for me again today… but I do have my 60-minute cardio dance class after work tonight. I am so heartsick for all suffering in Canada with evacuations and loss.
6/9: 150.6 - Serious happy dance this morning! Yesterday's cardio dance class was canceled due to the poor air quality. The instructor didn't want to overtax anybody's respiratory / cardio systems. Most of the class is around my age. Today, although still not great air quality, I think I'll be able to walk after lunch. Also need to get my bodyweight training done this evening so I can meet my 3/7 day goal set for this challenge. Food is logged.
6/10: 150.2 - You cannot wipe the smile off of my face!! Excited to do this challenge again. Did my 60-minute Zumba class this morning. All I have planned for this weekend is cleaning, laundry and meal prep, but that's good because I'll be ready for my week!
@miscannon3617 - The only thing to do after a binge is pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try again.
@JacquelineC53 - Way to go on getting to a "healthy" BMI!!!
See you in the next challenge!!

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 6 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

SW Round 225 130.0 AW 128.2
6/1 130.0 Still not feeling great. DH thinks it’s allergies. I fell asleep watching television last night at 8:15! Got up, showered and went to bed. Asleep by 9 but woke at 3:30 with headache and need for potty so I gave up and got up. Now I feel I need a nap. Maybe I should just give in.
⭐️ I am not a napper, I never have been unless I’m sick. I finally gave in and put my head down at 3:45 while DH was at cards. I slept until 7:30! I thought it was morning when I got up so I made a pot of coffee. Boy, am I messed up! I hope I can sleep tonight! Well, in a couple of hours.
6/2 129.0 Went to bed at 11:30 and woke at 6:35. Still not feeling great but I want BBQ so we’re going there for lunch today.
6/3 128.0 Ate burnt ends at noon, keto breakfast cookie with coffee mid afternoon I felt better as the day went on and made plans with DGD to meet for early dinner at 4 today, possibly with the rest of her family. It’s hard to coordinate everyone’s schedule.
6/4 128.0 Greek Salad and steak yesterday. I only ate 1/2 a skewer but had about 9 Kalamata olives as I’m the only one in the family who likes them.
6/5 127.0 Well, I got up early, unplanned walk to the clubhouse for water fitness-only to learn that the pool is “closed until further notice.” Dentist tomorrow for teeth cleaning. Super salty burger at In-n-Out for dinner. We’ll see what that does to the scale tomorrow! It has taken me all day to read the posts! So many interruptions.
6/6 128.0 Headache and very dizzy this morning. One hour drive to dentist, will pick up lunch at Jimmy John’s on the way home.
6/7 128.0 Kinda had a binge last night probably not a good choice after JJs and Starbucks. It wasn’t super carby but definitely over my limits - salted peanuts after strawberries and cream.
6/8 128.5 Oh well. Learned last night that DH is again standing for election to the HOA board. He lost last fall by 10 votes.
6/9 127.5 I’m going to water fitness this morning.

SW Round 225 - 169.8
6/1 169.8 - I didn't update the last few days of the last round. I got lazy. I still went to the gym, but my sessions weren't very motivated. I was in a slump. I did get a good walk in at lunch today. Check in yesterday with my weight loss Dr. She said since my weight has been hovering around the same spot the last few months, that she just wants me to focus on maintaining for the next month and not necessarily losing so my body can adjust to the weight I have lost and "reset" and then work at losing again. She still wants me to maintain my gym sessions and calorie counting but focus on being fit and not so focused on losing. I have 19.8 lbs to hit my ultimate goal and I've been getting discouraged. Maybe this is the reset that I need to get my motivation back. I know the closer I get to my goal, the slower the weight loss will be. I ate like complete crap yesterday and my weight dropped today. I was shocked! LOL I was expecting the scale to yell WTF at me!
6/2 - ⬇️ 169.4 - Yesterday I logged 12,523 steps 🎉🎉🎉 I’m only about a 1/3 of that so far today. Meetings at work and driving most of the day presented a challenge for my steps. I’m going to go take a walk here in a few. Water intake is good today, but I had a high sodium lunch so hoping it doesn’t hurt the scale tomorrow.
6/3 - ⬇️169.0 Yesterday I logged 11,221 steps 🎉 Today is my grandson's birthday party, so that means 4 hours of driving in the car. Not sure how my steps will end up today. We will see...
6/4 - ⬆️ 170.8 Pizza and birthday cake I was able to get in a walk when I got home from my grandson's birthday party so my steps for yesterday topped out at 11,080. Today is a rest day for me so I will still take a walk, but not focus on hitting over 10k steps.
6/5 - ⬇️ 170.4 My steps were at 7,702 for yesterday. Not as bad as I thought they would be. I'm working in the office today so I will have to get creative on getting my steps in throughout the day so I'm not getting them all in this evening. I've come to terms with just maintaining my weight at this level so my body can heal, adjust, and level out. I was a bit bummed since my goal is only 18ish lbs away, but once again My weightloss goal does not have a deadline I need to remind myself of that.
6/6 - ⬇️ 169.6 I didn’t hit my step goal yesterday. I was at 7,455. I took a walk after work and didn’t go to the gym. My son’s football practice has started up and he has to be up at 5:30am. So he fell asleep pretty early last night. I figured we could both use a rest day. I’m getting ready to take a walk this morning before it gets too hot out.
6/7 - ⬇️ 169.0 9,376 steps yesterday. I really need to put more effort into hitting my 10k mark. I got a mile walk in this morning. I’ve noticed that since my Dr told me to just maintain my weight right now, that I feel more at ease and I’m not beating myself up mentally if I don’t see that drop in weight. Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to do this all at once, even if subconsciously? Maybe this is what she was aiming for was to ease my mind as well as my body. She’s the doc, so I’m going with it. 😊
6/8 - ⬆️169.8 10,884 steps yesterday. I got 3 walks in around the neighborhood yesterday since I didn’t have time to drive to the gym. I did snack before bed, but not horribly.
6/9 - ⬇️ 169.0 10,646 steps yesterday 😊 I picked up some huge juicy strawberries from the fruit stand and they are just delicious! I had a few of those with my morning coffee. Getting ready to head out for a walk before starting work. After work I’m picking up my grandson, so that’s 4 hours of driving and it will be too late to go when I get back. But I will certainly enjoy my weekend with him. ♥️
6/10 - ⬆️ 170.4 6,376 steps yesterday. I expected it to be low since I had to work and was in the car more than 6 hours yesterday. Picked up my grandson for the weekend. I expect to get some steps in today because he loves going for walks.5 -
Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 225
Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
Starting Round CommentsRound 224 was ok. It was a challenging month with my husband having surgery but he's on the mend and it's time to refocus. I went up a bit but nothing to get overly excited about.
I am a self-proclaimed procrastinator. I set goals to be under 200 by 6/17 - then in my mind I changed it to the time I went on my July trip (7/5). I'm not there and it's highly unlikely that I will make it BUT>>>> I can get really close if I focus during the month of June! So here's goes!!!

Doing the math - June fits nicely with 3 10 days challenges
15 (weight to lose to hit 199)/30 days = .5 per day * 10 = 5.00 per challenge
Challenge Goal - 5.00lbs or Weight of 209.
Aggressive - yes and I will be happy and consider it a win if I lose at least half.
Goal: 209 - will be happy with 211.5, ecstatic with anything between 209 and 211🙂
Projection/Actual
6/1 214 /214.2 (+0.2/+0.2) ~ Wrong direction but should be able to easily correct <fingers crossed>. 45 minutes on the treadmill and then will walk at least 30 at lunch. Exercise makes me feel like my body is burning more calories/fat.
6/2 213.5 /214.7 (+0.5/+0.7) ~ Did not walk at lunch yesterday as planned. Dinner was decent. Husband was excited as he had been off pain meds long enough to have a cocktails. He made pomegranate sours. Turn this ship around! It would be about now, that I'd throw up my hands with the All or None mentality, but I'm not going to do that this time. I am going to continue to forge ahead - progress WILL come.
6/3 213 /215.2 (+0.5/+1.2) ~ REALLY...yes, I'm screaming. BUT, since the scale wasn't budging, I measured some key areas, and unless I was really "off" on my original measurements two weeks ago, I've lost 1.5 inches on my waist (well, if you want to call it that🙂 ) and .5 on my hips. Not sure what to make of that but...okay...<edit> I reviewed my day yesterday and I had seafood salad for lunch, then logged it and realized that imitation crab meat is full of carbs and added sugars 😞 . Lesson learned, log before eating. Carbs do not play nicely with my body. Had fish and veggies for dinner. So wine + carbs, definitely will equal gain!
6/4 212.5 / 214.3 (-0.9/+0.3)
6/5 212 / 214.1 (-0.2/+0.1) ~ moody today...
6/6 211.5 /215.0 (+0.9/+1.0) ~ I thought I was moody yesterday! Getting rid of the projections, not "even" close. I did go for walk at lunch yesterday and will do the same today. I started snacking last night and was at the top range of my calorie budget. Assuming water retention. Need to get a LOT of water in today to flush out sodium. I'm only 16 ounces in, so that plan needs escalation ! Only 4 more days left in this round! It was a quick one!
6/7 214.8 (-0.2/+0.8) ~ Yesterday I pushed through my mood...Pro: Was good on water (about 80 oz) Con: Many trips to the bathroom during the night. Got outside again for an additional 30 minute walk. I was under my calorie goal and had 0 wine.
6/8 213.7 (-1.1/-0.3) ~ Not going to temp fate, just going to keep the focus. Water was good but less than yesterday (64oz) which resulted in less trips to the bathroom🙂 Another outdoor 30 minute walk. Right at calorie goal as it's my low calorie day and 0 wine.
6.9 213.6 (-0.1/-0.4) - Down is down, I'll take it🙂 All things good, water+, exercise +, Food + and 0 wine. I "might" be tempted to postpone my libations to Saturday in an effort to finish this round lower than the start.
6.10 213.6 (-0.1/-0.4) ~ I'm good, ready for new round though!!8 -

6/10-165-Only got 2.5 miles of steps in during the day. I would love to weed whack, walk 6 miles and ride the horse every day, but at the age of 58 I can only do two of those per day or I am wiped out for the rest of the day.
On another note, I made my sisters father in law a Dodger’s quilt (he was our soccer coach in high school). I mailed it over a week ago and it still has not arrived. I ordered more Dodger fabric and will make another if it doesn’t show up. (Right now, all of Hobby Lobby fabric is 40% off online-great for novelty fabric).
Made “Loaded Cauliflower “ and it was good!!!!4 -
