    To All: Thanks for the well wishes thoughts and comments on DGS Owen and his tonsils.

    dawnbgethealthy Yes, I remember the Bill Cosby albums and VHS video tapes. He was absolutely the funniest and all without getting too dirty (family friendly). Too bad how it all turned out for him and his victims. So disappointing! Owen was a trooper day 1. Day 2 was pretty bad. I had to drive quite a distance to his Dad's house to visit, calm him and take some food/drinks that I thought may help. So far he won't touch anything. He will be here today about 3:30 for our usual weekend schedule. I hope I can get him to eat. He won't even touch ice cream, popcicles, yogurt, applesauce, baby fruit pouches or anything soft foods we've tried. I hope I can get something in him later today.

    That really sux about your boss' wife's greed. You definitely could have been earning elsewhere! It's paying off in your garden, but perhaps not paying off toward you time off during surgery and your birthday vacation. That money could have come in handy and she just seems to keep robbing you! It might be better in the end to move up your leaving and dedicate that time to your other job instead. Or even pick up a temporary waitress job for the rest of the summer as a seasonal or touristy type position. I hope it all works out for you. I must say though, your garden is certainly loving having some extra time with you! It looks great!

    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.

    Day 70—07/23—189.6 ❌ (Trend Weight: 189.7) I really didn’t want to weigh today because I know some of this is travel / false water weight gain and tomorrow will be likely be some water loss if a loss is shown. But curiosity got the best of me. Today it looks like my actual weight and my trend weight have pretty much caught up with each other, but that probably is not likely the case, quite yet. Owen did very well during the 30 minute tonsil and adenoid surgery. They said his adenoids were extremely large. Here is a pics of him prior to surgery. So brave! He was not too happy after surgery.

    💥💥💥 Week 10 Start Weight: 191.0

    CURRENT WEEK:

    🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️Day 71—07/24—188.8 ✅ (Trend Weight: 189.6) Well, I was hoping the scale would have came down more after a day of “recovery time” since the travel and surgery for Owen. I’m a full two pounds up still from the trip and honestly, it doesn’t make much sense since I didn’t do THAT bad. I also took my water pill yesterday so humph…. Owen is having a very bad day today (and yesterday). Not eating. Only sips of ice water on occasion. He will be at my house by 3:30 until Sunday night so hopefully I can get something down him, especially his meds that he is refusing. Thunderstorms today, extremely humid, early 90’s in temp and very gloomy skies. Thinking of Chef Anne Burrell and her family today. So shocking and sad. It just makes me wonder if anything will be right today.

    If I may be so bold, might I suggest you meet with not just the wife but the husband and wife, and explain the situation. It's always good to leave on good terms, but you shouldn't be punished for it. You might say something like this:

    "As you know, I gave you notice that I'd be leaving in four weeks. So first, let me say how happy I've been to work for you here. I've never left a job early, but it seems you've been handling most of the business on your own, and if I'm not needed here I can work elsewhere. Because I need to earn as much as I can during these weeks prior to my surgery. What do you think? Do you need me here?"

    Thank you : - )

    Yes, that is almost verbatim what I said.

    They are from Nepal. He has some experience, she has zero. I think that she just doesn't understand how it all works. I believe that there will be no hard feelings. Sometimes it is just better to step away from a situation in life rather than trying to educate people. 10 years ago I might have attempted that, but I am un-interested in doing it at this juncture.

    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.

    CURRENT WEEK:

    Day 71—07/24—188.8 ✅ (Trend Weight:189.6) Well, I was hoping the scale would have came down more after a day of “recovery time” since the travel and surgery for Owen. I’m a full two pounds up still from the trip and honestly, it doesn’t make much sense since I didn’t do THAT bad. I also took my water pill yesterday so humph…. Owen is having a very bad day today (and yesterday). Not eating. Only sips of ice water on occasion. He will be at my house by 3:30 until Sunday night so hopefully I can get something down him, especially his meds that he is refusing. Thunderstorms today, extremely humid, early 90’s in temp and very gloomy skies. Thinking of Chef Anne Burrell and her family today. So shocking and sad. It just makes me wonder if anything will be right today.

    🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️Day 72—07/25—188.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 189.5) I’m grateful for the daily drops on the scale as I inch my way back down. But….. Boy, oh boy! It sure takes longer to come back off when it can leap on at 2-4 lbs easily in one day! Something to keep in mind I suppose…. I’m down 1.6 of the lofty 3.1 lb catch-up goal I made for this week. Half way there! I’ve got a few more days to put a bigger dent in it. I’m trying hard not to let my DD’s visit derail me. Owen is still grumpy today. He is still struggling with food. The only small amount of squeezable fruit or food of any type he takes is when I threaten to call the ambulance. I told him about IV feeding and he doesn’t want that! So he takes one bite or one squeeze. That’s about it. He is finally taking some of the Motrin so that’s a plus. He’s grumpy. I am staying out of his face as much as I can.

    Happy Fri-yay again! And a new week....we'll see how everyone did.

    @deepwoodslady , awww....poor Owen. Is he drinking at least? Maybe a milkshake would go over well?

    Day 71—07/24— 163.8 - I don't know how l lost a day! I must be getting old...ha, ha! I had a hard boiled egg sandwich for lunch. Dinner will probably be left over turkey chili.

    I ordered a new pair of shorts that came today. When I took them out of the package, I thought oh no...they would be too small, but I tried them anyway. Well, they are a tad snug, but no problem putting them on....I was pleasantly surprised. I figure a few more pounds and they will be perfect.

    That’s great!

    I was shopping a few weeks ago and my ‘normal’ size was too small. My husband said, “just buy a bigger size.” I refused and said I wont buy anything until I fit in my normal size again. I'm starting to feel and see that my clothes are fitting better.
