Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.2
Goal This Round: 184.2 (10 pounds)
Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx
🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate Goal: 145-155 (I’ll know when I get there!)
Thoughts at the start of this round:
My goal from the very beginning has been to lose one pound per week for a total of 12 pounds per challenge. I have never considered that to be too much and I never thought in a million years I would find it this difficult, even at my age and with my health problems. But it’s proved to be nothing but an uphill climb and in most cases, impossible. I am going to lower my goal to 10 pounds per challenge and see if that will feel more right, more do-able. This breaks down to 0.7 lbs per challenge week. I don’t think that is too much to ask of my mind, my body and my spirit! I, again, thank you for sharing my journey with me and allowing me to travel with you on yours. It is reassuring, refreshing, enlightening and inspiring and I am forever grateful.

Scale kept flashing upper 189’s and then settled the last possible second on the homestretch at 190.0 which is EXACTLY my goal for this week without any cushion, so I’m okay with that number. I’m still trending down too so that is a plus. Possible dinner this evening or BBQ at home with daughter, her boyfriend and my son later. Not sure if it will materialize yet but I am being very careful with lunch choices in case dinner is a bit off plan. If so, I am going to chose to make some healthier dishes that are prepared with some lower calorie and lower carb ingredients. They’ll never know!

CURRENT WEEK:
🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊06/26-190.2 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 191.1) Wow! I woke up ravenously hungry yesterday and couldn’t get satisfied all day! The BBQ never materialized as they decided to go swimming at the Lake instead. I stuck to my pre-logged meal plan but went off the rails a bit at snack time late last night. I had fit about 12 oz of wine into my allowances but then later found I needed something with volume. Too bad because my menus were so on point otherwise yesterday that the needle could have went down. My trend weight is still going down, however. I’m happy to see that. I’m hoping for a good day today. I haven’t had more than 4 hours of sleep per night in about a week now. I just wish I could sleep in but my body wakes me. Cold and rainy in Michigan. The heat may kick on! I’ve went back to using my exercise bike a bit. Working my way back up to the level I was when I last rode it regularly. Have to accolade my knees to it again. I did it 30 minutes last night in one sitting as I watched the first episode of the new season of The Bear on Hulu. I was going in 3 ten minutes sessions and then 2 fifteen minute sessions so to do the whole 30 in one session was an improvement for me.

Am I reading your post correctly? You have a week 7 goal to lose 6 lbs in one week. That doesn’t seem realistic. If I recall correctly, you set your weekly goals at the beginning and are keeping them even if you didn’t make the prior week(s). Is this strategy working for your mindset? Personally, I would find it too daunting.

Re “
I haven’t had more than 4 hours of sleep per night in about a week now. I just wish I could sleep in but my body wakes me. Cold and rainy in Michigan.”The heat has moved on in southern Ontario as well. Today it rained and we needed it.
I’ve also struggled with sleep. There are lots of suggestions on how to train our bodies to sleep better. I’m sure you’ve tried them. I find no alcohol, no water after 9pm and a little gentle stretching before bed helps. I also use some breathing techniques when I can’t fall asleep. Occasionally, I’ll take a melatonin at bed time to get to sleep. The last few weeks, I’ve been slowly counting backwards from 99 to stop my mind from spinning. It seems to be working, I rarely get to 1, because I fall asleep first.I hope you are able to get some sleep.

Good Evening! I am a day late, but back again. Yesterday was the no good very bad day. The heat was nearly unbearable. All I did was sit all day with a fan on my lap and a cold pack on my head. My apartment didn't get below 83⁰ WITH the a/c running. It was not fun.
I will check up on everyone's progress tomorrow.
Day 43—06/26— Forgot to weigh myself, but its ok. It was a much better day. The temperature was about 15⁰ lower and the a/c cooled things off just fine. I got to the grocery store and got more salad greens and veggies and strawberries. I also picked up a new bathing suit I ordered from Macy's. I was so pleased as to how it looked on me! Five more pounds and it will be perfect, but I can still wear it. No plus size suits anymore!
