I think that I need anti-inflammatory pills too, but I can't take anything that is Aspirin based. What do you take?
And yes, bite the bullet and track track track.
@dawnbgethealthy - I'm taking Meloxicam 15 mg once per day. You cannot take aspirin or ibuprofen style meds with it ... only Tylenol (Acetaminophen). It has definitely helped with the swelling inside the knee. I skipped it for a week when my insurance plan changed and I could tell ... so glad to get the prescription back and continue to use it for a while longer. Hoping to have it available to me at least through my next trip if not longer. We will see what stipulations the doc puts on it.2 -

Day 100-04/09…..(Final Weigh- In)-
SUMMARY FIRST 100 DAYS of 2024: (celebrate good times!)5 -
@dawnbgethealthy I wish I could be strong minded enough to refuse junk foods all the time, but a) they taste so good (because they are engineered to have the optimum amount of sugar, fat, salt and chemical flavorings to tickle our tastebuds and like up our cortexes) and b) we are creatures of our social environment - when we are constantly bombarded with ads for these non-foods and everyone else around us is eating them, the tendency is to comply with the rest of society. This is also true of other things that may not be good for us - I have a huge problem trying to restrict coffee consumption in my social circle. And remember the days when everyone smoked? Virtually my first project starting school was to make an ashtray for my parents! (They didn't smoke, but good hosts were expected to provide ashtrays for their guests.6

65 years old. 5' 8". Started back in March 2023 at 85.5 kg, down from my all time highest of 100 kg (220 lb) Since participating in the last two 100 Day Challenges I'm down to 70 kg (154 lb). My aim this time is to drop another 5 kg and reach my ultimate goal weight of 65 kg (143 lb) - and keep it off for the next two years at least - hopefully forever!
Day 01-01/01-- 70 kg. Waist 30.5 ". Hips 40 "
Day 02-01/02-- 70.2 kg. This is like investing for retirement in the stock market. The advisor told me 30 years ago "Think long term. Don't chase high returns for quick gains - aim for slow and steady returns. Don't worry about daily fluctuations - as long as you stick with it the overall trend will be upward." Happy now I took his advice.
Found a jar of Kalamata olives in the pantry. Delicious! but I'm trying to limit myself to 4 daily. And yes! - I already got rid of the cheese and crackers I'd normally have with them.
Day 03-01/03-- 69.9 kg.
Day 04-01/04-- 69.6 kg. who would've thunk there could be marshmallows in the pantry and I am only eating two per day?! Sloooowly breaking the impulse to Eat All The Goodies Quick while they're around because Lord knows when there'll be any more - food insecurity issues from childhood.
Day 05-01/05-- 69.5 kg. Yay! Hit my 1st week goal already - just have to maintain for another two days rather than going off the rails and over celebrating with treats to reward myself for losing the weight.....
Day 06-01/06-- 69.8 kg. I started knitting a lace scarf last month. It is very fine yarn on tiny needles, and I can only work on it in daylight. For the last 4 weeks I have been knitting 8 rows a day, and now my scarf is 22 inches long! I was feeling very proud of my progress and thinking it was a good lesson in perseverance with the weight loss plan as well. Well! so today I went to pick it up and somehow - pulled out the needle! Oh, ye knitters of the world, weep with me.....
Day 07-01/07-- 69 kg!!! Ummm.... this maybe TMI, but has anyone ever weighed themselves, then needed to go, then felt a strong desire to weigh themselves again - to see how much they dumped? ....not to boast - but, 0.5 kg? like, over a pound? Wow.
Week 1 Goal: 69.5 kg.
Week 1 actual weight: 69 kg.
Day 08-01/08--69.8 kg.... ???
Day 09-01/09-- 69.2 kg. Grandma used to say "What you gain on the swings you lose on the roundabouts." I'm guessing this was originally an allusion to the old style carnival where you paid to go on the rides, but maybe the barker was also running some kind of "chance to get your money back" gambling dodge as well? Anyway, it seems appropiate to eating for weight loss - cut out a slice of bread here and lose some, drink a can of soft drink "just this once" and gain it back.
Day 10-01/10-- DNW
Day 11-01/11-- 68.9 kg. I'm always hearing "eat protein for breakfast" and "breakfast like a king", but I just can't do that. A big plate of bacon and eggs always leaves me feeling uncomfortably full, weighed down and heavy. I just don't want to go for my usual morning walk, whereas a bowl of oatmeal, or a couple slices of wholewheat toast, with a piece of fruit, fills me until lunchtime, while still feeling light and active. I'm thinking there are many cultures where no, or just a light breakfast is the norm - it's really only the last 200 years in the Western world that 3 meals a day has become the norm. Even in the 60s, when I was a kid, snacking was not the usual thing - there weren't all the granola bars and cheesy chippy things we have today. I'm wondering how much of being told what we "should" eat, is actually real science based, and how much is funded by food manufacturers who want us to buy their products - how many orders for pizza delivery have been placed after seeing an ad? and deciding then "I'm too tired to cook".
Day 12-01/12-- 68.8 kg.
Day 13-01/13-- 69.2 kg. We are having a heat wave and it's exhausting to walk outside. Also I'm on medication which makes my skin more photo sensitive, so no to being lots in the sun. Fortunately, my appetite has decreased with the heat and I don't feel like cooking, so lots of raw fruit and veggies are on the menu.
Day 14-01/14-- 69 kg. Some cookies and chips came ..... into my possession. "Them that asks no question, isn't told a lie. Watch the wall, my darling, while the chocolate cake goes by." So I just ate the treats (about 800 calories) and nothing else.
Week 2 Goal: 69 kg.
Week 2 actual weight: 69 kg. So no net loss or gain this week, but still on target.
Day 15-01/15-- 68.8 kg. I want to knit a sweater for myself and I'm in a dither over what size to make. I know I'm 2 dress sizes smaller than I was, but I need my actual measurements. And then I need to work out how big the completed sweater will be and how much ease I want - I don't want "sweater girl" negative ease, but I don't want baggy oversize either, since I still have a little more weight to lose.
Day 16-01/16 69.8 kg. I found a big jar of mayo at the back of the fridge......I would have taken it to the food pantry, but it was already open....spent the evening gorging on mayo and cucumber sandwiches. No, I regret nothing.--
Day 17-01/17-- 70 kg .....Well, the rest of the mayo is gone - I hate to waste food, but, yes, it went down the sink - and the fiber in all the wholewheat bread has worked, so here's to a drop on the scale tomorrow.
Day 18-01/18-- 69 kg. Hopefully back on track.
Day 19-01/19-- 70 kg. Is it the scale or is it me not being super careful over tracking? I am perflummoxedcombobulated! Maybe my body is telling me it's happy at current weight and doesn't want to go lower?
Day 20-01/20-- 70 kg.
Day 21-01/21-- 69 kg. Weather has been super hot and I think I may have eaten something that's gone a bit off - been feeling unwell for the last 24 hours.
Week 3 Goal: 68.5 kg.
Week 3 actual weight: 69 kg. As Scarlett O'Hara said, "Tomorrow is another day."
Day 22-01/22-- 68.5 kg.
Day 23-01/23-- 68.7 kg.
Day 24-01/24-- 68.4 kg. I was given a fruit cake today - a whole 500 grams (over a pound). I try very hard not to buy sweets and baked goods or keep them in the house, but free food is fair game..... I ate it all in 2 hours ..... I'm thinking with Lent approaching I need to give it up completely - at least for long enough for my taste to change.
Day 25-01/25-- 68 kg.
Day 26-01/26-- 67.9 kg.
Day 27-01/27-- DNW
Day 28-01/28-- 68 kg. Made it!
Week 4 Goal: 68.5 kg.
Week 4 actual weight: 68 kg. 4 weeks, 2 kg down.
Day 29-01/29-- 69 kg. Note to self - do not celebrate weight loss with toasted cheese.
Day 30-01/30-- 70 kg. Another note to self - just because fruit mince tarts are reduced price after Christmas, doesn't mean there are less calories. You're not "saving" money, either - you're spending it!
Day 31-01/31-- 69.8 kg.
Day 32-02/01-- 69 kg. Easy come, easy go.
Day 33-02/02-- 68.8 kg.
Day 34-02/03-- 69.8 kg. What witchcraft hath possessed my scale? Oh right - I'm the one polishing off the goodies before Lent.
Day 35-02/04-- 69 kg.
Week 5 Goal: 68 kg.
Week 5 actual weight: 69 kg. Only 1 kg lost in 5 weeks? Need to keep my eye on the ball.
Day 36-02/05-- 68.8 kg. 64 days to lose 3.8 kg - around 60 grams per day.
Day 37-02/06-- 68.5 kg. I am the only person who controls what goes into my mouth.
Day 38-02/07-- 68.1 kg. Stay focused. Stay strong.

Week 3 79.4kg
Week 4 78.9kg
Week 5 78.1kg
Day 36-02/05--78.0kg I'm tetter totting again. I have a feeling my weight loss is more stepped than linear, a drop then plateau, then another drop. That's fine all in the right direction.
Started a 30 day beginner resistance band challenge today .1/30 unsure if to complete it again with stronger bands or mice up to the intermediate with the same strength. Guess I'll see. It was nice to move though. They pack away easily so good to take when away from home.
Day 37-02/06--77.8kg woke up feeling good, hopefully the weight loss is improving my sleep quality? Exercise challenge 2/30
Day 38-02/07--77.6kg, no idea what's happening but I like it.

Challenge Starting Weight: 230.3 (2/1/2024)
Challenge Goal: <220
Tracking: PT knee exercises, W=walk miles, SF=strong & fit strength class 1 hr, B=bike minutes, S=swim laps, A=water/agua ounces, J=tracked/journaled all my food cal/net carbs, V=vitamin, AF=alcohol Free
Totally skipped the first 31 days!!
Day 32: 02/01 - 230.3 - First things first. Need to get back under 230! J, A 80, V, B 15. Under 200 carbs but definitely not meeting my goal of under 100! Took my measurements!!!
Day 33: 02/02 - 230.0 - J, A 32, V, B 20, PT. Decided to gradually up my time on the bike. When starting PT in Nov they only let me do 10 min for the 6 weeks. I started 15 min in Jan. Today 20. Hoping to get back up to 45 before the trip if my knee continues to improve. Though it was really swollen after today’s PT at home. I need to pick up my anti inflammatory pills at the pharmacy which I’ve not taken this past week.
Day 34: 02/03 - DNW - Bike 20 that is about it!
Day 35: 02/04 - 231.5 - Lots of King cake this weekend.
Week 5 Goal: < 230
Week 5 actual weight: 231.5
Day 36: 02/05 - 230.7 - Started my strong & fit class again but limiting activities during the 1hr session so that I’m not damaging my knees. Focusing on arms, shoulders, and core. Bike 20 min.
Day 37: 02/06 - 232.5 - Eating 3 slices of pizza was stupid. There I said it! No exercise but plenty of water and only snacks I let myself have were protein … slice of deli meat twice. But there was a snickers at a cash register that jumped out and bit me. I had my sketching class which started up for the year!!! YEAH And teaching adult ESL as well as errands out of the house. Being sick for a week it felt good to leave the house!
Day 38: 02/07 - 231.6 - Today’s focus is exercise and portion control.6 -

WEEK 5 LOSS OR GAIN: 1 pound lostjennysweet58 wrote: »Hi I'm Jenny from the Bronx, NY - 59 years old, 5' 6", and have struggled my whole life with food. I was already at my top weight and then gained another 20 pounds during the pandemic that I am proud to say that I finally dropped during the last challenge! My initial goal is 175 – a weight where I feel healthy and fit in my clothes again –but who knows, I may decide to go lower since this plan is working so well for me. I’ll see how I feel once I get there….WHICH I WILL!!! (It is so great after struggling for so many years to simply KNOW I WILL GET THERE!!)For anyone interested, I’m doing Intermittent Fasting, with an eating window between 2pm and 9pm. I’ve been following the Fast800 plan with low-carb / Mediterranean-style diet, and have recently started loosening the reins on the weekends (what they’d call the 2:5 plan I think?) I also aim for moderate exercise and a yoga stretch 6 days a week- I do Burpee Girl Youtube workouts and yoga stretches using the Down Dog app.
Day 01-01/01: 183.4 - I missed weighing in during the last week of the last challenge because of holiday craziness, and given I gained during the holiday week I am posting my lowest weight here so that I’m accurately tracking my overall weight loss.
Day 02-01/02: skipped - first day back on track after a week of debauchery
Day 03-01/03: 188.8 – Burpee Girl cardio/weight workout & yoga stretch, and first day stepping on the scale…it could be worse! Onward & downward!
Day 04-01/04 – skipped – had a follow-up sonogram that turned out to be clear, so good news! Walked to and from the subway through the park for my exercise, and remembered there was a time in my life not so long ago I wasn’t able to do this because of my knee issues. Starting the year out with gratitude!
Day 05-01/05: 184.6 – Yay! A nice water whoosh! It’s thrilling to be almost back to my lowest weight so quickly. It’s always a struggle to “start” again but by Day 3 or 4 I feel so good!!! Did a longer BP workout alternating cardio & weights, those are my favorites – plus a nice stretch.
Day 06-01/06
Day 07-01/07--
WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN 1.2 pound gain
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 1.2 pound gain
Day 08-01/08: 185.4 – Just did a BG 30 min tabata cardio / standing abs workout plus 20 min yoga stretch , and I’m definitely feeling the difference being able to go deeper into stretches as my belly slowly gets out of my way. I did some yummy food prep yesterday – made rainbow salad for DH’s lunches, then a cauliflower rice / mushroom “risotto” with chopped broccoli for my dinners that is so delicious I’ve been making it the past 3 weeks, I am obsessed! And also made a version of turkey chili that is 90% veggies and is now going to go into my rotation for lunches, I was almost shocked it came out so well. Both are big hearty servings with just over 200 calories each…ready for the week!
Day 09-01/09: 183.4 – ok, back to pre-holiday weight. Time to break new ground! Did a BG 20 min strength workout and 10 min yoga stretch – enough to calm down the stress and anxiety I have over a situation with my daughter…so hard to figure out how to help adult children struggling with mental health issues, and then I’m stressed because I feel like I’m falling behind at work trying to help…think I have at least an initial solution though so time to get on with my day.
Day 10-01/10: 183.6 – Do you ever wake up and just “feel” skinnier? Like you can suck your stomach in and it makes a difference? Ha ha -that’s how I was feeling this morning, and did a slightly higher intensity 30 min BG kickboxing/standing abs workout and a 15 min yoga stretch. I swear the yoga app (Down Dog) seems to know what I need to stretch, as my thighs were a little sore from all the squats yesterday and today’s stretch really worked them out – while yesterday I needed more upper body and it was right on track again! Because I was feeling skinny I took my measurements today – it’s been a month since the last time, and once again I was measuring over and over bc I couldn’t believe I lost an inch and a half on my hips, and half inch from my waist!! These numbers are getting down to ones I haven’t seen in close to 5 years, it’s really exciting!! I have a journal I started last January with weights & measurements, so I’m just re-using those same calendars for my new entries…seeing the old numbers amid the new is a stark reminder to see how far I’ve come, and to never go back!!!
Day 11-01/11: 182.0 – Hurray! Finally into new territory after the holidays – this also is officially 45 pounds down for me! Five more pounds till my first goal (that I’ve had for at least 5 years and never made .) Did a nice 25 min BG tabata workout and 15 min stretch.
Day 12-01/12: 182.0 – this will be my final weight of the week, since I don’t weigh on weekends. Happy with this result!
Day 13-01/13: skipped – today will do a pool workout with the hubby, food shopping and food prep. I am going to do the exact same food prep as last week because it was delicious!! Also I tend to go in phases, eating one meal for a long while and then transitioning to something else…for now I am loving my (mostly veggie) turkey chili, and my “faux” mushroom risotto with cauliflower rice. My freezer is still stocked with Eggroll in a Bowl and turkey zucchini noodle soup so I am in good shape!!
Day 14-01/14: skipped
WEEK 2 LOSS OR GAIN - 2.6 pound loss
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 1.4 pound loss
Day 15-01/15: skipped, went out to a local brewery with the husband, drank wine, ate fried food and got into a big fight…such a bummer! And the fight continued through the rest of the day…
Day 16-01/16: skipped – and then even after we sort of made up in the morning I continued the pity party the whole next day, deciding that bingeing was the perfect partner to wallowing in sadness and depression…
Day 17-01/17: skipped – and then woke up this morning determined not to let all my hard work slip away. I did a great workout/stretch and got back on track…man oh man, that binge monster is always lurking, ready to pounce! But I know as long as I don’t let it turn into weeks I can right the ship fairly quickly. We’ll see if it results in a gain for the week…work has been a little nuts so my routine is all screwed up!
Day 18-01/18: 184.2 - to be expected. Hopefully will get a dip down tomorrow so I don't have to end the week with an accumulated gain, fingers crossed I at least hit my original start weight...I really need to buckle down. I've made great progress and I have to be really careful not to allow myself to begin unraveling it!
Day 19-01/19: 182.8 – ok, I’ll take it! A gain for the week but at least still an accumulated loss. I tried a new workout this morning – getfitwithrick on youtube – there was a 30 minute body combat one that caught my eye, I used to LOVE body combat I find it so motivating! But it did solidify that I prefer workouts without commentary (like my usual burpeegirl on youtube) –he has some no commentary music-only ones that maybe I’ll give a try when I feel the need to mix things up. I find I am so curmudgeonly in my old age and hate the constant chatter and laughing at their own jokes that most videos have! Bah humbug! Ha ha
Day 20-01/20--
Day 21-01/21--
WEEK 3 LOSS OR GAIN : 0.8 gain
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 0.6 loss
Day 22-01/22: 183.4 – a smaller than expected bump up from the weekend, and I have that “skinny & fit” feeling this morning, so I have a good feeling about getting a good loss this week and finally getting past that holiday hump! Did a 30 min BG kickboxing/abs workout and a great yoga stretch. I tried on a dress I bought during a trip to New Orleans in February 2020, right before the world stopped – it was a little small for me then but I was “sure” I’d lose weight and would be able to wear it that summer…well, we all know the end to that story don’t we? The tags are still on that dress, and something made me try it on this morning – and it fit! It’s a wrap dress so will look better if I’m a little smaller but I could wear that damn thing tomorrow if I wanted to! (But I won’t because it’s very low cut and summery, ha ha) I made a couple of new soups this weekend for lunches – a spicy cabbage & turkey sausage and an Italian wedding soup using 99% FF ground turkey for the meatballs. The 99% FF works well for the ‘faux’ turkey sausage in the first one but not so great in meatballs, they need more fat – but till ok. It’s fun to try new recipes but both of these I had to doctor up a lot because they needed much more spices than the recipe called for…so I feel kind of “meh” about them both but it’s good to switch up my lunches in any case! I have an Asian Mushroom soup I want to make too (this one I know I like) but I have to make room in my freezer, I got a little too ambitious with all my food prep this weekend!
Day 23-01/23: 182.6 – That’s right scale, keep it moving…let’s get rid of this weekend water weight and see where we are tomorrow! I was feeling energized this morning and did a longer than usual BG metabolic cardio/weights workout, though was careful to modify when needed. I love these kind of workouts with the lighter weights and compound moves, they remind me of the old-school “Firm” videos I used to love. I’m so conscious these days of feeling fit, strong and flexible (I mean in comparison to where I was a year ago- not that I’m ripped or anything ha ha). It’s kind of freeing as I get older to simply focus on health and function (my bikini days are long gone
) and after spending the past few years hobbled by multiple injuries (made worse by my own unhealthy eating and lack of exercise) it feels so amazing to be able to MOVE.
Day 24-01/24: 181.0 – Ok well that was lower than expected, if that holds till the end of the week I’ll be thrilled! I have a birthday next weekend and if I could celebrate it in a new decade I would feel so accomplished...did a BG cardio/body weight toning tabata workout & yoga stretch, and ready to make today a good one!
Day 25-01/25: 180.8 – very happy yesterday’s number wasn’t a fluke! Had a great BG 30 minute metabolic cardio/weights workout & yoga stretch. I’ve also been enjoying my Italian Wedding Soup for lunches more than I thought I would! One thing I like about making my own is that I can control the salt and also have a gigantic serving size, which helps my brain feel “fed.” It would probably be better to train my brain not to feel deprived at a smaller serving size, but one thing at a time.
Day 26-01/26: 180.2 – So close to a new decade! But it will have to wait until next week, as this is my final weigh-in for this week and I expect a bump up after the weekend. But I feel accomplished, calm and happy about having a solid week with good progress, finally shaking off that holiday yo yoing! Did a sweaty BG HIIT tabata workout this morning, I really love those short 20 second intervals…no time to get bored!
Day 27-01/27--skipping
Day 28-01/28--skipping
WEEK 4 LOSS OR GAIN: 2.6 pounds lost
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 3.2 pounds lost
Day 29-01/29: 182.0 – to be expected after a more-indulgent-than-usual weekend with football food yesterday…I made 2 ingredient pretzel bites (just self-rising flour and nonfat greek yogurt, and dipped in a melty Laughing Cow cheddar triangle - they taste so good! But I had way too many) and also turkey burger sliders and air-fryed French fries. So. Darn. Yum. Back to weekday strictness! I still expect to break into a new decade this week, let’s see how it goes. I prepped some spicy Asian Mushroom Soup for lunches and did a variation of my cauliflower rice/mushroom risotto adding some “faux” turkey sausage (99%FF ground turkey with spices) to the mix. I also have spaghetti squash /spiralized zucchini for some “pasta” dinners with boca crumbles - like a faux Bolognese. So many “fauxs” ha ha! But it’s all tasty to me, and saves more calories for my true love, the grated pecorino romano cheese. That’s all I need to be happy.
This morning I did a BG kickboxing workout with 1 pound cardio gloves, and a good stretch. On to a new week!
Day 30-01/30: 181.0 – on my way down…hopefully will break new ground by Thursday? Did a cardio/weights workout & yoga stretch, feeling strong.
Day 31-01/31: 179.8 – AHHHH! New low, new decade – less than 5 pounds away from my original goal!! I definitely will want to go 10 lower than that but am going to pause and celebrate the first one for sure!!! 2 more pounds and I can celebrate 50 pounds down...it’s my reward for sticking to my guns and getting a quick workout & stretch in this morning even though work is breathing down my neck.
Day 32-02/01: 180.4 – The scale is toying with me! But the good news is I tried on a pair of jeans I haven’t worn in 4 years, and they fit like a glove!! We’re seeing friends I haven’t seen in a long time, so it will feel good to sport them tomorrow!
Day 33-02/02: 179.2 – ok then, back into the new decade and can record a loss for the week!
Day 34-02/03:skipping - Happy Birthday to me! Last year of the 50’s…DH and I went to dinner with friends we haven’t seen in close to 3 years, so it was really fun to reconnect and wear my “new”old jeans! I saw a journal entry from this time last year (journaling was one of the many things I tried that didn’t stick) and I thought I’d share:
To my Future Self…who will you be?
My future self is relaxed.
My future self is wearing clothes I haven’t worn in years.
My future self is sleeping wonderfully!
My future self feels free.
My future self exists in a space where I am not “on” or “off” – not failing or succeeding – I am simply healthy most of the time and not worrying about the rest.
And guess what? I AM THAT FUTURE SELF! Well…Still working on the last one a little bit but what a great feeling to start my birthday! Thank you for this challenge, it really has helped me get to this place I secretly didn’t think I would ever actually achieve.
Day 35-02/04: skipping
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 4.2 pounds lost
Day 36-02/05: skipped, but back on track after an indulgent birthday weekend – did tabata cardo & yoga stretch
Day 37-02/0: skipped, work is insane – did cardio/ weights &yoga stretch.

Hello again to everyone. Just back from vacation on Sunday and had to dive straight back into crazy work catch-up! I am off today and now trying to get my seriously neglected MFP back on track. The weather was amazing and the total cruise was awesome. Of course when I weighed in Monday morning I had gained some weight. Its OK though. I expected it. I absolutely over indulged in food and drink for the week and I regret nothing! I still ended up down from the start of this challenge, so I take it as a win.

Thoughts:
While other challenges may show bigger losses (or gains), it really depends on what date you are looking at with me because I do go up & down quite a lot, especially with my frequent required day trips. However, from Jan 1st through Dec 31st, I lost 16.0 pounds in the full year of 2023. That is what I have lost and KEPT OFF. While I am very proud of that, I know that the road ahead is long and will be a difficult one since I still have so far to go and so many health related obstacles in my way. Each 100 day round I am extremely grateful for any progress I can make, no matter how big or small. I am also grateful for all the support from all of you that I get on a daily basis. Working on my health has become my #1 priority. My main goals are to maintain my remission by staying cancer free and to keep my diabetes in control. Losing weight is key to both goals.

Day 37-02/06-183.0-(Trend weight 183.2) A nice little whoosh as I shed all the sodium from the soup from the last couple of days. Today the rest goes in the freezer pre-portioned. I’m waiting for my handyman/contractor to get here. We are going to discuss our next project.
Day 38-02/07-181.0-(Trend weight 183.2) Still flushing out that sodium/fluid retention and extra weight from that very noodl-y homemade chicken noodle soup. I’m glad to see it’s not sticking around for too long. My handymen are back in full swing. I’m excited but I also know it will tie up all my free time and make exercising very hard since there will be no privacy. There will also be furniture from the bedroom stuck in the livingroom, dining area and entry mud area for months so I will have a serious lack of space. Perhaps I can break down my embarrassment barriers and use the exercise bike in their presence. I’ll think on that.

Week 6: ** please note I have edited my weeks to run from Friday to Friday
Day 34-02/03: 172.6
Day 35-02/04: 174
Day 36-02/05: 174.4 .
Day 37-02/06: 174.8 Well, dammit!! Losing the battle of resisting homemade bread. Resetting determination today. Birthday is in 13 days; want to be under 170. ( addendum: son brought over pizza for dinner, but we also served salad).
Day 38-02/07: 174 I’m not abnormally stressed but feel like I’ve lost my “chill” along the way. Today my desire is to go in search of my imperfect Zen ( fully present, free from the constraints of the ego, and open to the wisdom of the universe. It's a state of pure awareness, unclouded by judgment, fear, or desire.); it’s all a process. I also define this state ( my interpretation) as feeling in balance spiritually, socially, physically, nutritionally, financially.
