    b]Oct 1[/b] 👣📝🥗🫀💦🧂- 18.5K 👣 Steps, 🚶‍♀️3 mile outside walk, 1 mile treadmill, 40 🫀Min HIIT workout, 🥗 579 Calorie Deficit

    I love the start of a new month, the optimism that it brings, leaving those negative thoughts behind, reflecting on my prior months accomplishments, a fresh start, a clean slate. And fall is my favorite time of year - a slight chill in the air - the beautiful fall colors on the trees in Connecticut, no bugs. Happy Otober - a special welcome to all our new people - I hope you love this group as much as I do, and for all the returning members - so glad to see you back for another month.

    Oct 2 139.9 😁👣📝🥗💪💦🧂21.4k 👣 Steps, 🚶‍♀️3 mile outside walk, 3.3 mile treadmill, 30 💪 Full Body Strength, 🥗 182 Calorie Deficit

    I did it - made it to the normal BMI range! Six hundred and thirty-three days since I started my journey - averaging just shy of a pound a week. I am over the moon with happiness. Now to keep it this way for the rest of my life.

    We have had company all week. Our best friends moved to Florida a few years back, but their family lives in Connecticut. When they visit, they use our house as their lodging. The husband of the couple came up to visit family and friends this week. It has basically been a "boys" week; but the influences I have been at the upper limit of my calorie and sodium levels (going over on the sodium one day) which affects everything. He leaves tomorrow and things will get back to normal - hoping I'll get back down under that 140 mark by my next weigh in (Wednesday).

    I have been experimenting this week - first true week of only weighing bi-weekly and with company here - and wanting to see what it did to my weight I ate back all my exercise (ok a little more some days, a little less others) to see what would happen. I am up a pound this week. So here is what I'm going to do this week. Still bi-weekly weigh-in, but get back to the losing mentality for a couple weeks. Hoping to get back to my goal weight, and then try maybe 75%.

    Oct 10 👣 🚶‍♀️‍➡️📝🥗🫀🧘‍♀️💦🧂21.2K 👣 Steps 2.5 mile 🚶‍♀️‍➡️outside walk, 2.3 mile treadmill, 20 Min 🫀, 15 min🧘‍♀️ Stretch, 435 Calorie Deficit

    Met my 2,024 miles in 2024 goal yesterday! Three and a half weeks quicker than last year's pace, even with the meniscus tear at the beginning of summer (counting all steps); now to work on the intentional fitness miles goal - I'll need to average a little over 100 minutes of intentional exercise daily to make it - might be a stretch - but doable!

    Oct 12 👣 🚶‍♀️‍➡️📝🥗💪🫀🧘‍♀️💦🧂 17.4 👣 Steps 2.5 mile 🚶‍♀️‍➡️outside walk, 1.7 mile treadmill, 15 min 💪Strength - Over my calorie limit 102 Calories!

    Didn't really want to look at the weight today - switching my weigh in day until tomorrow. Took the boat out for probably the last spin. Beautiful day, but not as colorful as I would have expected. Picnic on the water and a heavier dinner put me over the top.

    Oct 13 141.2 👣 🚶‍♀️‍➡️📝🥗🫀💦🧂17K Steps 🚶‍♀️‍➡️50 Min 2.5 Mile outside walk, 25 Min 1.2 Mile Treadmill, 35 Min 🫀 Cardio, 281 Calorie deficit.

    Funny thing - worked out a lot yesterday (it was a workout relay race weekend for the Hogwarts Challenge) and for the first time in a LONG time - didn't meet my step goal. A lot of strength workouts, and boxing where I didn't move my feet. LOL! Today is going to be a rest day to recouperate - but I will get in my walks! Then Bingo night with mom - celebrating my sister's 66 birthday tonight.

    Week Three:

    Nice night at Bingo for Mom - she won twice. Always puts her in a good mood. I saved room in my food intake for dessert last night and had a piece of cake. Don't know if it is because I haven't had it in a long time, or it was just great - one of the best pieces of cake I have had in a long time - just a vanilla cake - but the raspberry mousse filling was to die for.

    Oc 16 140.9 👣 🚶‍♀️‍➡️📝🥗💪🫀💦🧂⚖️19.8 Steps, 🚶‍♀️‍➡️60 Min 3.0 Mile outside walk, 20 Min 1 Mile Treadmill, 35 Min 🫀 Cardio HIIT, 40 Min 💪 Strength, 643 Calorie Deficit

    Made a beautifu chicken and delicata squash soup for dinner last night, and Greg made homemade bread to go with it. Delicious, but on the upper range of my sodium limit.

    @deepwoodslady - I called it! I knew a big swish was coming. If I say it again today - will you be down again? 🤞 Hoping the drama settles and you can just get back to the house drama! 🏘️

    @FaZizzle Glad you are feeling a little better. Hoping you can get in your planned activities today. 💃🏻

    @ozdeelite Your body doesn't want the yummy not so good for you stuff right now. It's telling you that your veggies are your yummy! 🫛🍠🥕🫑🥒🍆 🥗

    Hi! I’m Jill and I absolutely ❤️ this group of like-minded friends. If you’re here, then you’re our friend!

    Welcome to October!
    Fall is my favorite season. I live in Michigan, and I love the chilly mornings and evenings.☕️ I love the sunny days and love watching the trees change colors 🌳 🍃🍂🍁… and the smell of fall. I don’t even mind the rainy days.

    My goals this October are to:
    🍃Log daily- consistently and happily. This is the key to success.
    🍃Get outside and 🚶‍♀️or 💃🏻 inside
    🍃Enjoy the season
    🍃15 minutes of intentional exercise each day

    It's time to get everything in sync this month. I'm no longer going through the motions. When I log...I lose weight. It takes time to build up consistency and momentum, but when it works, it's beautiful! Let’s go!

    ✍️💃🏻🚶‍♀️💊
    October 13: 214.3–Wellness Day 3:
    ✍️💃🏻🚶‍♀️💊…I just squeaked in my exercise by walking and dancing around the house. I feel better when I can get exercise in before going to work.
    October 14: 214.8– Wellness day 4: ate too much watching football, but I logged all of it, and that is a win!
    ✍️💃🏻🚶‍♀️💊… Happy Monday, friends! We can do this!!
    October 15: 214– Wellness day 5:
    ✍️🚶‍♀️💃🏻💊 Time for a walk and talk with my mom-in-law then off to run errands on my day off. It’s currently 42 degrees Fahrenheit/5.56 degrees Celsius. Brisk and refreshing kind of morning.
    October 16: 214.4–Wellness day 6:
    ✍️💃🏻💊 Hoping to get the grass cut today and finish edging in prep for winter and finish organizing the garage so we can squeeze in 2 cars. Time to Tetris the garage! Happy Wednesday!

    Getting caught up. I missed logging all my food and fluids for the first time in months the other day. But I got right back on the horse and didn't wallow in self pity.

    Monday's cataract surgery went well. I slept off the 'twilight' anesthesia afterwards. I had my follow-up appointment yesterday. My pupil is back to normal, there's no redness or bloodshot veins in my eyes, and the tests showed the implant is working well. I am able to have good close-up vision in that eye for reading or using my phone, writing, crocheting, sewing, etc without glasses, for the first time in my life. I will still need glasses for distance and to correct the mild astigmatism in this eye, since I went with a standard implant; but my prescription will be mostly for watching TV/driving/distance vision and the glasses lenses will be half the thickness of the most recent glasses I had. In the implant eye, my visual acuity went from 20/500 to 20/200, and even that is likely to improve a little bit over the next 6 weeks. I'm definitely noticing a big difference between the left implant eye and the right uncorrected eye. The latter seems as if I am wearing very smudged, dirty yellow safety glasses. It's quite surprising. I'm very much looking forward to my second surgery in 5 days.

    I read through everyone's posts and I'll try to get back in to comment after work today.

    weight.png

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s


    This Challenge Starting Weight (from Sept 30th): 193.6
    Goal: 189.6 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx



    **********************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME********************



    FIRST HALF OF THE MONTH:


    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.


    10/01-193.6-(Trend Weight 193.8)-

    10/02-193.4-(Trend Weight 193.7)-

    10/03-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)-

    10/09-192.6-(Trend Weight 193.8)-

    10/10-191.2-(Trend Weight 193.6)-

    10/11-193.8-(Trend Weight 193.6)-

    10/12-191.4-(Trend Weight 193.4)-

    10/13-192.2-(Trend Weight 193.2)-

    10/14-194.6-(Trend Weight 193.4)-

    10/15-191.2-(Trend Weight 193.2)- What a weight swing today! It’s Amazing how the physical can take on the symptoms of the emotional. Things are still not resolved in my family drama and I still feel tied up in knots. Traveling today so I will expect the scale to be up tomorrow but I will try to make all good choices even though I know I am usually over on carbs especially when I dine out. I was running in this same weight range earlier in the week so I hope this is closer to my true weight but its so hard to tell when I am feeling this stressed and not getting much sleep. Time will tell I suppose. I ate well and within plan yesterday but not enough exercise. But hey, my refrigerator and freezers are completely cleaned out and that should count for something!

    SECOND HALF OF THE MONTH:

    10/16-193.0-(Trend Weight 193.2)- Well, there it is. A 1.8 lb gain from travel that I have come to expect. Today I will gather my composure and focus on getting it back down to a more reasonable number. My short-term goal is to get to the 180’s again and it could be doable by the end of this challenge if I can just stay focused (and stay home). Of course, I won’t feel confidently in the 180’s until I reach that number with the 7 on the end (187) due to fluctuations, but if I touchdown on that 180 runway with ANY number in the 180’s I’ll still know I’ve arrived, even if I’m still rolling and bouncing down the runway a bit before I completely land. It’s a plan!

    Oct. 16 - 232.6 | Walking + Weights (upper body) |

    Diet: I feel like a mess. The nausea came back yesterday with the new addition of jaw pain. I took yesterday off from work, and I honestly did very little yesterday. Thank goodness for the crockpot meal I started in the morning! Today has seen the most improvement, and I'm hopeful the worst is behind me. I guess it wasn't the fiber gummies and more likely food poisoning? No clue really. I've spent today hydrating with electrolytes since I haven't been hydrating for a few days too.

    Exercise: I'm going to try to go to the gym tonight. I have most of my stomach issues within 30-45 minutes after eating, and I'll be well past lunch when I go. I thought I could do a class, but I also thought today was Thursday. Whoopsies!

    b]Oct 1[/b] 👣📝🥗🫀💦🧂- 18.5K 👣 Steps, 🚶‍♀️3 mile outside walk, 1 mile treadmill, 40 🫀Min HIIT workout, 🥗 579 Calorie Deficit

    I love the start of a new month, the optimism that it brings, leaving those negative thoughts behind, reflecting on my prior months accomplishments, a fresh start, a clean slate. And fall is my favorite time of year - a slight chill in the air - the beautiful fall colors on the trees in Connecticut, no bugs. Happy Otober - a special welcome to all our new people - I hope you love this group as much as I do, and for all the returning members - so glad to see you back for another month.

    Oct 2 139.9 😁👣📝🥗💪💦🧂21.4k 👣 Steps, 🚶‍♀️3 mile outside walk, 3.3 mile treadmill, 30 💪 Full Body Strength, 🥗 182 Calorie Deficit

    I did it - made it to the normal BMI range! Six hundred and thirty-three days since I started my journey - averaging just shy of a pound a week. I am over the moon with happiness. Now to keep it this way for the rest of my life.

    Oct 3 👣📝🥗🧘‍♀️💦🧂14.4k 👣 Steps, 🚶‍♀️3 mile outside walk, 1 mile treadmill, 30 🧘‍♀️Full Body Stretch, 🥗 81 Calorie Deficit

    We have had company all week. Our best friends moved to Florida a few years back, but their family lives in Connecticut. When they visit, they use our house as their lodging. The husband of the couple came up to visit family and friends this week. It has basically been a "boys" week; but the influences I have been at the upper limit of my calorie and sodium levels (going over on the sodium one day) which affects everything. He leaves tomorrow and things will get back to normal - hoping I'll get back down under that 140 mark by my next weigh in (Wednesday).

    I have been experimenting this week - first true week of only weighing bi-weekly and with company here - and wanting to see what it did to my weight I ate back all my exercise (ok a little more some days, a little less others) to see what would happen. I am up a pound this week. So here is what I'm going to do this week. Still bi-weekly weigh-in, but get back to the losing mentality for a couple weeks. Hoping to get back to my goal weight, and then try maybe 75%.

    Met my 2,024 miles in 2024 goal yesterday! Three and a half weeks quicker than last year's pace, even with the meniscus tear at the beginning of summer (counting all steps); now to work on the intentional fitness miles goal - I'll need to average a little over 100 minutes of intentional exercise daily to make it - might be a stretch - but doable!

    Oct 12 👣 🚶‍♀️‍➡️📝🥗💪🫀🧘‍♀️💦🧂 17.4 👣 Steps 2.5 mile 🚶‍♀️‍➡️outside walk, 1.7 mile treadmill, 15 min 💪Strength - Over my calorie limit 102 Calories!

    Didn't really want to look at the weight today - switching my weigh in day until tomorrow. Took the boat out for probably the last spin. Beautiful day, but not as colorful as I would have expected. Picnic on the water and a heavier dinner put me over the top.

    Oct 13 141.2 👣 🚶‍♀️‍➡️📝🥗🫀💦🧂17K Steps 🚶‍♀️‍➡️50 Min 2.5 Mile outside walk, 25 Min 1.2 Mile Treadmill, 35 Min 🫀 Cardio, 281 Calorie deficit.

    Funny thing - worked out a lot yesterday (it was a workout relay race weekend for the Hogwarts Challenge) and for the first time in a LONG time - didn't meet my step goal. A lot of strength workouts, and boxing where I didn't move my feet. LOL! Today is going to be a rest day to recouperate - but I will get in my walks! Then Bingo night with mom - celebrating my sister's 66 birthday tonight.

    Week Three:

    Nice night at Bingo for Mom - she won twice. Always puts her in a good mood. I saved room in my food intake for dessert last night and had a piece of cake. Don't know if it is because I haven't had it in a long time, or it was just great - one of the best pieces of cake I have had in a long time - just a vanilla cake - but the raspberry mousse filling was to die for.

    Made a beautifu chicken and delicata squash soup for dinner last night, and Greg made homemade bread to go with it. Delicious, but on the upper range of my sodium limit.

    @cattherien Glad to hear all went well! Sending postive thoughts for the second one!

    @faZizzle Oh no, I sure hope you feel better today. Glad you took the day to recouperate.

    @adahpotatah2024 Ha - I had to laugh! The dreaded 141 at was my favorite number last month.

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s


    This Challenge Starting Weight (from Sept 30th): 193.6
    Goal: 189.6 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx



    **********************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME********************



    FIRST HALF OF THE MONTH:


    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.

    10/14-194.6-(Trend Weight 193.4)-

    10/15-191.2-(Trend Weight 193.2)-

    SECOND HALF OF THE MONTH:

    10/16-193.0-(Trend Weight 193.2)- Well, there it is. A 1.8 lb gain from travel that I have come to expect. Today I will gather my composure and focus on getting it back down to a more reasonable number. My short-term goal is to get to the 180’s again and it could be doable by the end of this challenge if I can just stay focused (and stay home). Of course, I won’t feel confidently in the 180’s until I reach that number with the 7 on the end (187) due to fluctuations, but if I touchdown on that 180 runway with ANY number in the 180’s I’ll still know I’ve arrived, even if I’m still rolling and bouncing down the runway a bit before I completely land. It’s a plan!

    10/17-191.6-(Trend Weight 193.0)- And back down it goes as I lose the travel/sodium weight landing just a bit higher than I was before the trip. I’m happy with this. A good day yesterday. No intentional exercise but I did fully fall clean my grandson’s room and sifted through the toys while he wasn’t here. This included moving furniture around/out. Today he arrives for the normal 4 days. His mom has to work all 7 days this week due to yearly company project of some sort so I’ll have my hands full. He had a pumpkin patch field trip today. I can’t wait to get him off the bus and hear all about it!

    @cattherien glad to hear the surgery went well.

    Hi everyone. I started ozempic injections weekly. Having a catheter in has seriously impacted my physical activity so it’s a preemptive strike. That and the fact I don’t want to wait years to lose 20kg. My mostly vegetable diet is working well - feeling relatively good physically apart from the obvious things. The depression is real though- there’s all this work going at present and I’m stuck here at home not being able to earn anything.

    Made eggplant,zucchini,mushroom and rosemary baked vegetables last night. But added Penne and fetta too. kbj30e7j37z3.jpeg

    We have had company all week. Our best friends moved to Florida a few years back, but their family lives in Connecticut. When they visit, they use our house as their lodging. The husband of the couple came up to visit family and friends this week. It has basically been a "boys" week; but the influences I have been at the upper limit of my calorie and sodium levels (going over on the sodium one day) which affects everything. He leaves tomorrow and things will get back to normal - hoping I'll get back down under that 140 mark by my next weigh in (Wednesday).

    I have been experimenting this week - first true week of only weighing bi-weekly and with company here - and wanting to see what it did to my weight I ate back all my exercise (ok a little more some days, a little less others) to see what would happen. I am up a pound this week. So here is what I'm going to do this week. Still bi-weekly weigh-in, but get back to the losing mentality for a couple weeks. Hoping to get back to my goal weight, and then try maybe 75%.

    Met my 2,024 miles in 2024 goal yesterday! Three and a half weeks quicker than last year's pace, even with the meniscus tear at the beginning of summer (counting all steps); now to work on the intentional fitness miles goal - I'll need to average a little over 100 minutes of intentional exercise daily to make it - might be a stretch - but doable!

    Didn't really want to look at the weight today - switching my weigh in day until tomorrow. Took the boat out for probably the last spin. Beautiful day, but not as colorful as I would have expected. Picnic on the water and a heavier dinner put me over the top.

    Funny thing - worked out a lot yesterday (it was a workout relay race weekend for the Hogwarts Challenge) and for the first time in a LONG time - didn't meet my step goal. A lot of strength workouts, and boxing where I didn't move my feet. LOL! Today is going to be a rest day to recouperate - but I will get in my walks! Then Bingo night with mom - celebrating my sister's 66 birthday tonight.

    Nice night at Bingo for Mom - she won twice. Always puts her in a good mood. I saved room in my food intake for dessert last night and had a piece of cake. Don't know if it is because I haven't had it in a long time, or it was just great - one of the best pieces of cake I have had in a long time - just a vanilla cake - but the raspberry mousse filling was to die for.

    Made a beautiful chicken and delicata squash soup for dinner last night, and Greg made homemade bread to go with it. Delicious, but on the upper range of my sodium limit.

    Although I was in a calorie deficit, I had an off day - didn't reach my 8 glasses of water goal and ate a whole bag of popcorn putting me over my sodium limit. Just goes to show you that exercise cannot make up for a bad diet. Will be extra careful today - hoping to reverse the situation tomorrow.

    @deepwoodslady How what the field trip? In an earlier life I was a preschool teacher (while Allyson was in school - it was the perfect job for me - had same vacations as she did). One of my favorite field trips was the annual trip to the pumpkin patch. Hay ride, a halloween story, picking out a pumpkin, hot apple cider, a corn maze (easy one for the littles) fun, fun, fun. Hope he had a wonderful time. With your daughter working - maybe the weekend temptations won't be as big this week and you can make a huge dent in your goals.

    Hi! I’m Jill and I absolutely ❤️ this group of like-minded friends. If you’re here, then you’re our friend!

    Welcome to October!
    Fall is my favorite season. I live in Michigan, and I love the chilly mornings and evenings.☕️ I love the sunny days and love watching the trees change colors 🌳 🍃🍂🍁… and the smell of fall. I don’t even mind the rainy days.

    My goals this October are to:
    🍃Log daily- consistently and happily. This is the key to success.
    🍃Get outside and 🚶‍♀️or 💃🏻 inside
    🍃Enjoy the season
    🍃15 minutes of intentional exercise each day

    It's time to get everything in sync this month. I'm no longer going through the motions. When I log...I lose weight. It takes time to build up consistency and momentum, but when it works, it's beautiful! Let’s go!

    October 1: 215.4
    October 2: 212.5
    October 3: 213.6
    October 4: 214
    October 5: 214
    October 6: 213.3
    October 7: 213.4
    October 8: 214
    October 9: 214.6
    October 10: 215.6
    October 11: 215.4–Wellness Day 1:
    ✍️ pre-logged meals for today
    💃🏻 10 minutes of dancing.
    🚶‍♀️20 minutes of walking
    💊Took vitamins.
    Now off to work! Have a fun Friday🥰
    October 12: 214.6–Wellness Day 2:
    ✍️💃🏻🚶‍♀️💊
    October 13: 214.3–Wellness Day 3:
    ✍️💃🏻🚶‍♀️💊…I just squeaked in my exercise by walking and dancing around the house. I feel better when I can get exercise in before going to work.
    October 14: 214.8– Wellness day 4: ate too much watching football, but I logged all of it, and that is a win!
    ✍️💃🏻🚶‍♀️💊… Happy Monday, friends! We can do this!!
    October 15: 214– Wellness day 5:
    ✍️🚶‍♀️💃🏻💊 Time for a walk and talk with my mom-in-law then off to run errands on my day off. It’s currently 42 degrees Fahrenheit/5.56 degrees Celsius. Brisk and refreshing kind of morning.
    October 16: 214.4–Wellness day 6:
    ✍️💃🏻💊 Hoping to get the grass cut today and finish edging in prep for winter and finish organizing the garage so we can squeeze in 2 cars. Time to Tetris the garage! Happy Wednesday!
    October 17: 214.3– Wellness day 7:
    ✍️💊 Didn’t get in my intentional walking or dancing today, and I’ve felt off all day. I did make turkey chili this morning though. All good.
    October 18: 214.2–Wellness day 8:
    ✍️🚶‍♀️💃🏻💊 Feeling more like myself after a chilly walk today. Feeling very refreshed and energized. Happy Friday friends!

    @iLive2Walk He had so much fun! There were some things he was not allowed to do (bouncy house) but he really enjoyed the flurry of activities! I hadn't even thought about my daughter's weekend hours this week and the affect it would have on me. So true! Should be a lot less tempting offerings! Last night she didn't pull anything out, but, of course it was the DAY BEFORE payday. We'll see how tonight goes. I'll have to grow a backbone today!

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s


    This Challenge Starting Weight (from Sept 30th): 193.6
    Goal: 189.6 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx



    **********************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME********************



    FIRST HALF OF THE MONTH:


    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.


    10/01-193.6-(Trend Weight 193.8)-

    10/02-193.4-(Trend Weight 193.7)-

    10/14-194.6-(Trend Weight 193.4)-

    10/15-191.2-(Trend Weight 193.2)-

    SECOND HALF OF THE MONTH:

    10/16-193.0-(Trend Weight 193.2)-

    10/17-191.6-(Trend Weight 193.0)- And back down it goes as I lose the travel/sodium weight landing just a bit higher than I was before the trip. I’m happy with this. A good day yesterday. No intentional exercise but I did fully fall clean my grandson’s room and sifted through the toys while he wasn’t here. This included moving furniture around/out. Today he arrives for the normal 4 days. His mom has to work all 7 days this week due to yearly company project of some sort so I’ll have my hands full. He had a pumpkin patch field trip today. I can’t wait to get him off the bus and hear all about it!

    10/18-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- No-weigh Friday. Macros were within limits although carbs were on the higher end of my allowance due to Pasta. I made a Spaghetti Casserole with real Pasta for the gang although I avoided the garlic bread. I probably should have gotten a spaghetti squash and made mine separate (and different) but I didn’t. I’m planning a good day today. The family will eat leftovers but no more pasta for me today.! Two days in a row would surely be a disaster! I have lots of better options and need to keep eating clean and within plan at home.

    @deepwoodslady . My poor health has given me the much needed kick to eat better. Most the recipes are from kidney.org.au or taste.com.au
