For the new people I write a reflection on how my prior month's weight loss journey went. Here is mine from August for anyone that cares to read.

August Reflection

The highly anticipated terrible August came and as expected was kind of a wash. I had a wonderful time – but it is now time to get at it. Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly truth.

First and foremost, I lost 1.1 pounds this month. My steady shrinking is still in play – I have lost every month since I started this weight loss journey. That being said, I made it by the skin of my teeth My birthday, girls trips, and anniversary all happened this month. Phew!

Exercise was better this month. I got the green light to start unseated exercise again in August and gradually increased my steps to an average of about 12-14K steps per day.

I reached the 1,700-mile marker on my quest to walk 2,024 miles in 2024, logging about 200 miles this month, as we speak am at 1,720 miles. My tracker says that I hit my goal in Mid-October. My second goal of hitting 2,024 intentional miles is coming along – currently at 1,337 miles, 66% of the goal. It’s just shy of where I should be (67%), but if my body holds up – I can do it.

I am more determined than ever to get this done, and I hope that September will get me to the ideal BMI range (just 2.5 pounds to go). Then as I mentioned last month, will see where I end up as my goal weight when I get there - 100-pound loss or January 8, 2025 (my two-year starting date) whichever comes first.

My before and after pictures for August - not the best pictures - but didn't take too many in August.

My Goals for September:

• Get to ideal BMI Range (140 pounds)
• Alternate Cardio and Strength
• Average 14K Steps per day
• Continue Physical Therapy Knee exercise – every other day
• Make up miles for intentional 2,024 in 2024 to ensure that I make it

👣📝🥗💪🫀🦵🧘‍♀️💦🧂

Sep 1- 142.5 📝🥗💪🦵💦🧂I had a set back with my knee yesterday. Switched my strength exercise to a seated one, and couldn't get on the treadmill without pain - so was below my step goal. Iced and went to bed early - feel better this morning but will take it easy today - going to call it my rest day! Did my budget and my reflection (both not pretty this month).

Sept 2 - 142 😁👣📝🥗🫀💦🧂Knee is feeling much better, iced whenever I was sitting on my bottom in front of the tube! Got my intended exercise done, a little bit of cleaning done. A productive day.

I'm Charlene, 59yo, 5'8", married 40 years to Allen, 6 kids, 9 grandkids, work as a caregiver for the elderly so they can stay in their homes. I live in Central Illinois, I love summer and hate winter. I'm creative, curious, and chatty. I have a lot of food allergies, so I don't follow any certain eating plan.

I met all my macro goals yesterday. I'll be honest, I had zero appetite. I got a text yesterday morning from the family of one of my clients, telling me the husband had died Saturday night. I've been caring for this couple for 4 years, they are my first caregiving family, and this couple is so dear to me. We are friends. You spend that much time with people every week, year in and year out, and a friendship is bound to happen. When I entered this employment, I knew a client passing could happen - likely would happen eventually - but this is the first one - and I wasn't prepared for the loss, emotionally, even though I thought I was. I assumed I was stronger -that I'd help the family through their grief - but if I'm going through it too.. . I'm just a little worried about just breaking down in crying in front of them. This is pretty raw right now.

Big breath - I've been through grieving before. All 3 parents, all 4 grandparents, a young son. I know the process. It's all in my frontal cortex. I know I can go through it and not prolong it by avoidance. I've just not walked this road in this context before, and that's what gives me some trepidation as to how to handle it.

@melstevens12345 welcome welcome. 🌸

@deepwoodslady smart of you to think of not buying certain snacks, because they are too much temptation. 👍

@jm216 I love your positive attitude. 👍

@ozdeelite great to see that .5kg loss. 👍

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


09/01- My starting weight this month is my last known/posted weight from August 29th. I got my grocery shopping done out of town and eliminated some of the “approved” snacks that were just too tempting. Will there be more eliminated later? Maybe, but it’s a start. I hate how much harder it is to breathe and also maneuver steps into the house with the grocery bags when these extra pounds are on. Incentive! I will likely post a weight tomorrow. Good luck this month my friends. This will be a very challenging month for me with lots of travel including some overnights. I’ll be giving it all I’ve got! Welcome to our new friends that have joined us. It’s wonderful to have you here!

09/02-192.4-(Trend Weight 191.5)- Holy Cow Batman!!! September will be an especially challenging month for me but THE BUCK STOPS HERE! It HAS to! Happy Labor Day to everyone celebrating.

Sep 3 - 142 👣📝🥗💪🦵💦🧂Beautiful day in CT. Got in our normal AM walk, then cleaned out the front garden. I weeded out the front flowerbed, getting ready to plant some fall mums. Picked some basil and made some tomato/basil sauce - it was just ok. Next time, add some more spice. Then it was bingo night with mom. I didn't win, but won the half time trivia contest and the door prize - I'm rich $20 (I spend $30). LOL! Mom was in a grouchy mood - her hip is bothering her AND she didn't win. ☹️

@cattherien I am so sorry to hear about your client. Thinking of you, sending prayers, and love. 🫂

@deepwoodslady Traveling is definitely a tough one - but you've got this!

@jm216 Fall is my favorite time of year too - just love the cooler, but not bitterly cold weather! It's a beautiful chilly morning here - 48 degrees - perfect walking weather!

Welcome to everyone jumping in!

Met all my macros except calories; I also got a treadmill walk in. Finished the work training before the deadline. Got some laundry done. Did some (promising) research about upping my vitamin D3, because of the celiac. Read my book for a bit.

Today I need to dye my hair (I refuse to go gray), finish washing laundry, drop off some stuff at UPS, order a grandkid's birthday present + send a card, and try to do some meal prep.

@jmdavid616 welcome welcome🌸 I hope you like it here.

@ilive2walk very productive day you had yesterday. Ha, the winning at bingo. Poor Mom, I get it, my MIL is the same way though she can't get out to bingo as much any more. And thank you, 🫂.

09/03-192.0-(Trend Weight 191.6)- I’m showing a small drop on the scale for which I am grateful. I ate an extra meal yesterday due to curiosity. Only eat when you are actually hungry Donna!!! DD and DGS were here an extra day & night due to the holiday. They left last night and won’t be back until Thursday evening. I have one hair appointment this week which is local and won’t affect my eating so I hope to make some impact on the scale this week. I started my day today with a Youtube exercise video so I’m off to a good start.
