UGW-140

2/27-173-life has been very busy and is finally slowing down and I am finally able to pick and choose what is going to take up my time. The bees are all out in the blooming almond trees and will remain here for a few more weeks, so I’ll probably just walk at home. Got a heat mat and started a bunch of seeds. Now need to get the raised beds put together and filled.

2/28-173-Went to yoga then rode the horse. Had lunch then needed a nap. What the heck? I’m 58 and get tired. Had a cup of coffee and read. Then I was ready to go plant/start more seeds. I wanted to walk but it has been so windy. Maybe I’ll walk with the horse today.

2/29-175-A whoosh up, but I don’t mind because I finally got moving yesterday. Dentist, walk with horse and friend 2 miles then yard work. Happy with what I got accomplished, just too many snacks. Yoga today then a bit of sewing with Quilts of Honor gals.

3/1-174-Yoga, sewing, exercised the horse then made the Copycat Panera Chicken and Rice Soup. Instead of using the packaged rice, I substituted barley since it is supposed to be better on the glycemic index. Off to Featherweight Club today.

3/2-173-Took a salad instead of eating off f the taco truck . Off to the snow, just for a ride today. Lunch out, hopefully wise choices.

3/3-DNW-In a hurry to get going this morning. It might be clear enough to walk today. Need to finish taxes and get them mailed off tomorrow.

3/4-173-I”ll take that after the weekend. The rain has stopped for a couple of days and I have my work cut out for me and I’m off to do it…….well, after I finish this cup of coffee,

  ~ I expected this type of dip. All the stars were aligned yesterday. I walked a ton on my treadmill. I was also paying close attention to the keto macros I was eating all day. Like just because you CAN add a Tablespoon of butter doesn’t mean you have to. You can hit the perfect fat/protein/carbs percentage without a full serving.
  ~ Yesterday was a great day

Prev Days(Cliffs notes in RED):

• Sun 03/03❌177.0;+.6lbs
  ~ I actually HAVE been weighing in over the last few days but haven’t been able to log my food, so no real way to analyze what I’ve been doing wrong. Still trying to eat better but I have been letting my hair down and I allowed myself to drink some when I was out with friends.
  ~ I did sign up to participate in another weight loss challenge I found on MyFitnessPal called Fat2Fit. It starts today and I’m very excited and hopeful that it’s going to kick start my weight loss! Also, my aunt asked me to call her in the mornings to get her motivated to work out. This gave me an added boost to my own motivation.
  
• Sat 03/02❌176.4; 0lbs
  ~ Didn’t weigh
  
• Fri 03/01❌176.4; 0lbs

• Thu 02/29❌176.4;-1lbs
  ~ Nothing of note
  
• Wed 02/28❌177.4;+.2lbs
  ~ wow! Only one more day of February left!
  
• Tue 02/27❌177.2;+.5lbs
  ~ Ok pre-TMI I was 178.4 and then post-TMI I was 176.1! (Still so thankful for code names!) But when the difference is so extreme like that, I’m going to divide and subtract the difference. Because well, I must just REALLY had to go!! lol
  ~ Still having a hard time getting back on the treadmill. Dealing with a little PTSD when I was on there for too long Friday and Saturday which made my feet sore afterwords. This is probably contributing to my “I can eat whatever I want” mental state of mind right now.
  
• Mon 02/26❌176.7;+1.11lbs
  ~ I was good all day until my husband wanted pizza. I usually go nuts and eat with my eyes but I didn’t this time.
  ~ I’m still surprised this isn’t higher.. but maybe I have been given some grace here. I did put a rule in place, which was to stop eating when I was full last night. Maybe that was it..
  
• SW: 175.6
  ~ Continuing on with my same plan

03/02 -178.0- (Trend weight 179.3)

03/03 -178.2- (Trend weight 179.2) Just a small blip up but I know what it’s from. I ate two candy canes last night during TV time. I’m telling you, my friends, when I crave something sweet I can ALWAYS find something in this house. I’ve even been guilty of eating a teaspoon of sugar that I keep for my guest’s coffee! There is no way around it. I really have to learn to say no as it can’t be hidden from me forever! Luckily those cravings usually do not come on as hard or as often as they did a few years ago but I would be lying if I didn’t admit that much of the time it’s still a battle….in the snow....uphill….both ways.

03/04 -177.8- (Trend weight 179.0) I was up all night peeing so I’m not surprised there’s nearly a half pound lost on the scale. I know this is one of the major ways our body releases out fat/weight, but why couldn’t I have lost my 0.4 during the day? I guess I’ll be tired all day. I hate to sound ungrateful because I do appreciate the loss, especially before my local primary doctor appointment tomorrow. But sleep, beautiful sleep, that’s important too!

3/04 - 150.5 - What a doozy that was. I'm back now. I did work out Monday-Thursday. Slept in Friday knowing I'd be awake for nearly 24 hours even with sleeping in. Ate as close to paleo as possible with eating out and not many restaurants being dairy-free friendly. Yesterday I BF and I went to get groceries and meal prepped. I have breakfast through Saturday while I have lunch/dinner prepped through Wednesday. I'll have to make Wed-Sat lunch and dinner still. The youngest two kids will be here Saturday evening for a week for spring break- BF leaves Friday to go get them so I'm already starting to plan dinners that I can eat with them and still stick to paleo. Likely I'll eat only the protein and veg while they can have other sides. Back on track with workouts Monday-Friday this week. Work is hectic/stressful and likely to stay that way the remainder of the month so goal is simply to give my body the best treatment I possibly can to offset the stress/cortisol levels. Glad to be back!

Day, Weight, Comment

2/26 - DNW
I forgot to weigh myself until I’d had coffee and a big glass of water, so I’ll let it go for today. It’s my Monday lunch out with a friend day, so I skipped breakfast and won’t have much dinner. Hard to believe it’s the last week of February!

2/27 - 194.6
I had a big lunch yesterday, but no breakfast or dinner, so all good. I started today with a high-protein breakfast and feel much more positive than I have the past few weeks. It’s gorgeous out this morning so I’m doing a few outdoor things before the rain moves in. Yay!

2/28 - DNW
Forgot to sign in! That’s unusual for me—just got distracted. 🤪

2/29 - 194.6
Leap! Going to the home & garden show with a friend in a bit. Should be fun, and lots of walking.

3/01 - 195
I’m surprised, since we walked all over the coliseum at the Home & Garden show and my calories were low yesterday. I did have a soft pretzel and felt parched later, so maybe the salt. Anyway….

3/02 - 195
I had a minor epiphany this morning, still only half formed, but rattling around in my head. Basically, I’m leaning toward shifting from attempts to limit and restrict, which used to work for me but now makes me rebel and “sneak” things (from whom, I have no idea!) to eating what I want but very mindfully. I’m going to stop tracking for a while. I’ve tracked daily for the past 9 years(! —see spoiler) and it worked for a while but has clearly lost its power for me. I’m cranking up my walking program, aiming to add mileage over the next few weeks until I’m back to my old 6-8 miles per day. And I have lots of work to do in the garden this spring as I reshape some of it. I don’t know if this will work, but not constantly obsessing about food and focusing instead on movement and activity seems so attractive to me right now. I’m debating a vacation from this group for a while, but that’s hard—I love you guys!—and while I often feel inspired by your stories, I also wonder if reading them as I try to refocus will make that shift more difficult. Anyway, off to walk.

3/03 - 194
Still here. 😊 I didn’t track yesterday—that’s going to take some getting used to, I’ve done it religiously for so long, but it felt right.
@Chapter_3, thanks for your comments/support—means a lot.

3/04 - 195
I love how I bounce up and down. 😁 Yesterday was day 2 of not tracking, although I’ve been at it so long I do it automatically in my head. Anyway, I think this might work, plus I’m actually feeling a bit more relaxed. I really appreciate the support from the group!

Hi, I'm Charissa

Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!

Goals this round:
- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget 🍎
- Macros - hit Protein ✅
- Water - 64oz minimum > trying hard for 80💧
- Closing my rings M-F🚶🏽

Time to refocus and reel it in tighter....No excuses. Last round I almost lost what I gained in the prior 2.
Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss and supports gains.

SW: 216.8 end of round 251
Dates = Weight ; Comments for prior day.
2/25 216.8 🚶🏽Lazy day on Saturday. Did get my work out in! Watched 3 of the movies nominated for best picture. There was alcohol so happy for scale to not have lost it's mind
2/26 〰️ 216.8 🚶🏽Sunday was ok, but no scale feedback. I measured and see that I've lost 10 inches since January 3rd. That helped a bit with motivation! Didn't sleep well.
2/27 ⬇️ 216.6🍎✅ Water was only at 64, aiming for 80. Didn't exercise yesterday since I had such a terrible night.
2/28 ⬇️ 215.8🍎✅💧🚶🏽A few too many pretzels as we were stuck in the underground garage of our apartment for almost two hours waiting for the severe weather to pass.
2/29 ⬇️ 215.4🍎✅💧🚶🏽 Slow downward trend. Glad to see the end of February. It was not good for me but it could have been worse. Ready for March and all the good that it will bring!!!
3/1 ❌ 216.4✅💧🚶🏽Boooooo.....somewhat guilty. Those pretzels I talked about...They are evil. I've been measuring out an ounce and that is my snack when I want something. My rationale (while faulty) if I'm not drinking, then I can at least have a small snack. My husband replenished the supply and when I came home...the bag..was right there..... one ounce was more like three!
3/2 ⬇️ 214.8🍎✅💧🚶🏽So funny... when the scale doesn't cooperate, I'm disappointed. When it does... I'm thinking...that cant be right!!🙂
3/3 ⬇️ DNW🍎✅🚶🏽Short on water and had a drink or two....
3/4 ⬇️216.2🍎🚶🏽Didn't hit water or protein yesterday (close 140/150). Water wasn't even close. Back to work week...so that's good
3/5 ⬇️ xxx.x🍎✅💧🚶🏽
3/6 ⬇️ xxx.x🍎✅💧🚶🏽


@UTMom81 ~ welcome back. Kudus to you for taking care of your Dad. Hard job I'm sure but you're right to not forget about you!!

@desolate_angel ~ I just bought that salmon at cosco this weekend. They were doing tastes but none was ready when we went by. It smelled wonderful though!

@quiltingjaine & @Chapter_3
I have to keep reminding myself...thought it would be good to read it every day!!!

@judefit1 ~Happy early birthday. Your trip to NYC sounds great ! Have fun!!

@Sweetzyd ~ My husband was the catalyst this weekend for me as well. Like you said...today is a new day and it's a new week. That slight tick up will be gone before you know it!

@SheilaBoneham ~ I hope you stay as well.

quiltingjaine

@SheilaBoneham Please stay. It wouldn’t be the same without you!❤️

@itladyee My DH asked if I was going to order vodka or whiskey for the cabin on the ship. This is something I have done several times. One liter per 14 days works out nicely. I pointed out the I haven’t been drinking much since the beginning of the year so I don’t plan to. We have credits if I do want a drink. I believe it really screws up my sleep though so I will probably skip it. And I don’t like those super sweet concoctions they make. Vodka and soda is my go to - zero carbs, minimum calories but still needs to be metabolized. DH has been “dry” since Dec, 1981!

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.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

"Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

SW RND 252 133.0
2/25 Edit - After coffee yesterday at 6AM, I went back to bed for a few hours and weighed 132.0 when I got up at 10:30
2/26 132.0 RE: cruise check-in - While the whale tail on the iPad was “thinking” I got on my phone and finished with no problem and the tail was still spinning on the iPad. 🤷‍♀️ The rest of the day was uneventful. Today my art quilt group meeting across town. I have considered quitting because I hate the drive but it is really my only outside activity.
2/27 133.5 Blaming bread (1 slice sourdough) and Venti Flat White with HWC. I made a sandwich with Boar’s Head meats and cheese for lunch and asparagus for myself for dinner.
2/28 132.0 Had my first ever facial yesterday. I LOVED it. DH is going to lunch with blind friend today. Our friend is moving into a house with his daughter. She works mostly from home so we hope it will be a good plan for them.
⭐️⭐️OOPS!
2/29 131.5 I guess I decided to LEAP over Leap year day and neglected to post.
3/1 132.0 My body must like being back here. My head likes being closer to 120. At least I am still tracking.
3/2 131.0 DH is eager to leave for cruises. We are using the extra bedroom as a staging area. My Garmin watch died and it has been discontinued. I’m so sad.
3/3 131.5 Macros were right on and I need to tell myself what I often say here. It can take 2-3 days for what I am eating to show on the scale. @itladyee thank you for this - Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss and supports gains. I wish I had read this yesterday.
3/4 131.0 Great Greek yesterday, of course. Local DD and DSIL met us there and then we went to their house for haircuts. She does such an excellent job! Going to Juan’s Flaming Fajitas for lunch with friends.

It's great to see you're finding ways to make it work @SheilaBoneham ~ I think its lovely how many have encouraged you to stay ~ I've never been with a group long enough to feel as if my presence would be missed, so its nice to see here.

Happy Birthday @judefit1 !!! You're in my hometown celebrating, so know its great fun!

@UTMom81 Taking care of our parents can be so emotionally and physically debilitating, but we don't hesitate out of love. I helped take care of both my parents before they passed (dad 20 years ago, mom only 5) so I understand the commitment and sacrifice. It's wonderful things have gotten to the point where you can now put some attention on yourself. Blessings to you both.

March 4th: So proud jumped on scale with no hesitation this morning! Slight uptick totally expected after lobster butter and biscuits treat last night and didn't phaze me at all. On track with new challenge for the month and enjoyed early morning workout to balance the scales. Let's go fitfam! March is a clear road with February failures fading in the rearview.

I love how I bounce up and down. 😁 Yesterday was day 2 of not tracking, although I’ve been at it so long I do it automatically in my head. Anyway, I think this might work, plus I’m actually feeling a bit more relaxed. I really appreciate the support from the group!

@itladyee My DH asked if I was going to order vodka or whiskey for the cabin on the ship. This is something I have done several times. One liter per 14 days works out nicely. I pointed out the I haven’t been drinking much since the beginning of the year so I don’t plan to. We have credits if I do want a drink. I believe it really screws up my sleep though so I will probably skip it. And I don’t like those super sweet concoctions they make. Vodka and soda is my go to - zero carbs, minimum calories but still needs to be metabolized. DH has been “dry” since Dec, 1981!

Kudos to your DH! That's awesome. I'm really trying to cut back this year as I want to see the weight loss. Wine is my down fall. It's so easy to come home and pour a glass and then have a glass with dinner. But the calories do add up!! Good for you for doing something different on the ship!

@itladyee Thank you so much for your encouragement ❤️. My husband is such a bad influence lol but he's never had a weight issue so he doesn't understand how it is. He did tell me today that he was proud of me for sticking with my plan and the progress I made so far. That means a lot coming from him! Hope your day is going well and you meet all your goals this week!

RND 252 (my 7th)
SW (first round) 155.8
SW (this round) 150.7

2/26 - 151.1 - first day of new challenge and I’m going the wrong way 🙁. Still recovering from a stressful week last week. 3.5 mile run

2/27 - 149.2 - FINALLY broke 150. I am SO happy to see this number!!! Now, I just need to hold onto it.

2/28 - 148.9 - so excited to see the scale still moving in the right direction. I have not been this weight since March of last year. I know it will bounce up again for a bit but feeling very hopeful with the momentum I am seeing.

2/29 - 149.6 I set my goal to be under 150 by the end of February - and I have done that. Super happy with myself for (mostly) sticking to the plan and getting back on track when things pushed or pulled me the wrong way. March goal to end under 145

3/1 - 147.8 - I have no idea why I am seeing these consistent losses. I have not changed anything from what I have been doing for the past two months. Trying to be as consistent as possible day to day - without letting my crazy, chaotic life pull me off track. Skipped this morning’s run to get more sleep after spending the night in the ER with DD#1. She suffers from debilitating headaches and last night was so bad we had to take her in for IV medications to relieve the pain. Talked to her neurologist this morning and got her medication dose adjusted so hopefully she will be feeling better in the next day or so. I’ve got 12 miles on the plan for tomorrow 🙂.

3/2 - 148.6 - slight uptick but still hanging on to <150 and happy. Anticipating another uptick after today's long but should settle back in a few days. 12 miles today. Was the longest ive run since my last marathon in December 22. Sadly, not anywhere close to the pace I used to run that distance….but at least i got the distance. Distance first, pace second. I'll worry about getting faster after I can get myself through another successful 26.2.

3/3 - 149.3 - was anticipating this. My body always holds weight after long runs. It is why I have learned that taking time to let my body recover is so important - if I don’t, I will just start gaining weight. I took the dogs on a walk to the park to make sure my legs had a chance to stretch and move a bit. Focusing on making healthy choices since I will definitely overeat my calorie goal. I am always VERY hungry the day after a long run, but because I am resting, I am not doing anything to “earn” extra calories. I try to honor my hunger but need to make sure I am eating nutritious food that will help my body recover rather than cause more inflammation.

3/4 - 149.6 - hoping that will come down in the next day or so. Still very happy to be below 150. Staying very mindful about what I am eating and making good choices. Ran 3 miles today. I’ve run the same route the first Monday of each month, Jan, Feb, and now March. I am still so much slower than I used to be, but I am getting progressively “faster” (putting faster in quotes, because I am most definitely NOT fast). I am trying to stay focused on the progress I am making rather than fixating on what I am not doing (which is running a much faster pace that was once easy for me)

First time joining this, and found it late so im using this round as a chance to figure it out. I dont like weighing everyday as it gives me anxiety. The goal for me is to weigh three times each challenge, first day, day 5, and day 10. (Modified to 2 for this first round).

Goal: lose 1-2lbs.

2/28: 279.8

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 252 (my 182nd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going, so grateful.
Goals for this round; to lose! Scale has been a bit erratic the previous round, obviously reflects rate of consistency (or not!). Must concentrate on consistency in the next round, really want to get back down especially as at the moment the choice of my clothes that comfortably fit is limited, do not want to have to buy a bigger size!! And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
Good luck everyone for a successful round.

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 target of 130 = 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.

3/5: finally off the plateau-10 days, and I was consistent! Since I'm looking to create habits that work for the long run, this is good-I can see what "maintenance" should look like- and it's a pretty small margin of difference between losing and gaining. I'll just keep "March-ing" along (groan"....)

@3/5 reshii_devi: Thank you!
My actual birthday is next week but we celebrate early Sunday we took our "girls" to the city to celebrate all 4 of our March birthdays together. My partner was born and raised in Newark and I'm from Brooklyn; we're in NJ not far out and I spend a lot of work and play time in the city- it's home to me too! Are you still close by?

I’ve been slowly gaining 10lbs a year over the last few years. This challenge helps me stay focused.

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee. I don’t often comment but I do read everyone.

Rnd 261- 196.4

2/26- 195.6
2/27- 193.6
2/28- 191.4
2/29- 191.6
3/1- 189.4
3/2- 190.2
3/3- 190.4
3/4- 190.6
3/5- 190.0 very unexpected as yesterday I was very hungry and ate more than normal. I worked really hard to listen to my hunger cues and make thoughtful satisfying decisions. In the past my inner voice would have had an epic war of willpower to not eat outside of my plan or idea of normal.
Sometimes I’d win and I’d get my mental merit badge for denying myself extra calories. Sometimes I’d lose and just throw away the whole day. Or really binge and the purge, be too exhausted to exercise for days.
Yesterday I recognized hunger and I ate. I tried to get ahead of it and had a larger then normal breakfast but I still had a double sized bowl of cereal as a “snack”. I thought maybe I’d eat a smaller dinner but no I was hungry and ate a normal meal. I did feel a bit guilty about the nutty buddy ice cream cone I ate after dinner.
I can’t eat that much regularly and expect to make progress but I’m working really hard to lose weight without it bringing out my eating disorder.

Round 252 Posts
This is my posting format….

Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
/ Logged Food - yesterday; Exercise – yesterday / Comment

Previous posts:

2/26: 227.2
/logged all of it; took a walk, did some yard work (in February!)/
As a matter of tradition, an uptick on the first day.

2/27: 225.6
/logged; exercised/

2/28: 228
/logged; but no workout/
228 on 2/28! Let’s hope this is not a reoccurring phenomenon for the rest of the year. Ha! I will need an all-new wardrobe by Friday.

Yesterday was a sedentary day of meetings. We capped it off with a visit to Logan’s Roadhouse to spend a gift card (of all reasons.)

We have somehow collected too many unspent gift cards. I think retailers like gift card sales for this reason. Actually I don’t know how gift cards are handled in their books so I shouldn’t jump to conclusions. I do know this; someone paid Logan’s $25 for a gift card years ago (pre-covid) and they got to hold the cash until I bought a meal last night. They have also discontinued the practice of serving free peanuts in the shell, so that was a benefit for them …and me.

By the way, they were short staff like so many other businesses these days.

2/29: 226.4
/food logged; body exercised; under watered/
NSV today. Even though the scale is not making drastic moves, I can sense changes starting in my body because of the diet and exercise improvements in these last couple rounds. Just think of the NSV’s if I should happen to “buckle down.”

Remember my gift card story at Logan’s? Well, yesterday I couldn’t find my credit card! Yes I left it at Logan’s. My brain is short staff.

3/1: 224.4
/logged food; hand weights; 43 oz water/
So goes the back-and-forth argument my body has with the scale each day. It will be up again tomorrow.

Have a good March everyone. Another day closer to warm weather.

Speaking of dreams, I dreamt I had washboard abs. HAAAA! My dreams are usually like a Salvador Dali painting (google it), so there is no context to go along with it. Probably subliminal residue of an internet advertisement. It was nice while it lasted.

3/2: 227.8
/logged; functional exercise and movement; poor water intake/
My functional exercise yesterday was helping DM to get ready for moving day today into a smaller apartment. The move today will be my exercise.

Last night was a monthly meeting of a few people who all used to work for the same company. Not all worked there at the same time, but we have a common bond. And the company no longer exists. I would call it an alumni association. All that to say I had a Reuben sandwich and fries washed down with a couple pints of Guinness. A festival of salt with not much water yesterday to wash it away.

The place we met at this month fancies itself an “English Pub.” It was started by an Englishman 20 years ago or so and does a decent job with décor and menu, though I have never actually been to England. (Some Day) It is located in a strip mall so there is a lot of Illinois involved here, and perhaps it is too well lit based on my impressions made by UK television shows (like Endeavour.) The pub caters to the soccer-loving crowd (not me) so there is usually a game on, even if it is prerecorded. They open off hours for a lot of live matches in Europe and of course the World Cup. Cheers @musicsax !

3/3: 226.2
/logged; functional exercise; not enough water/
A lot of steps (for me,) and a lot of lifting furniture. Mom’s move is done….mostly. A few pictures to hang.

Food yesterday was mostly clean except for the cinnamon coffee cake I bought for my fellow family member movers to nosh on.

3/4: 226.2
/yes, logged food but poorly; very little exercise; 50 oz. water/
It amazes me that my weight held steady for two days in a row.

Eating was poor and exercise amounted to going over to the park with DS and DGS to do a little spring training with my sports-challenged DGS. 😊 He makes up for it by being cute.

2/25: 226.4
Starting weight on day before this round.

3/5: 224.4
/food logged; group fitness; 70 oz. H2O/
It is hard to get excited about scale readings when they bounce as much as mine. I can gain AND loose the weight of a small dog within a ten day period (sometimes one day.)

Anyway, my question of the morning is, “who let the dogs out?” Enjoy your earworm. 😊

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
