    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 65 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.

    This Challenge Starting Weight (from July 31): 188.8

    Goal: (Four lb Loss) 184.8

    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx

    πŸ”œπŸ”œπŸ”œπŸ”œπŸ”œFinal goal: 145-155. I’ll know when I get there.

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

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    08/12-182.6 ❌ (Trend Weight: 185.3) I became very ill last night. It was so bad that I even questioned if it was my heart. A shaky blood sugar drop for sure (I’m T2D) but so much more than that. Lightheaded, dizzy. Weak, falling to the right. But instinct told me that it was something that food could fix. I had dropped several pounds in just a couple of days so I think it was too much, too fast. I had prelogged lots of healthy food with the right blend of proteins, fiber and healthy fats but that didn’t help. I grabbed my son and grandson’s pop tarts with milk and it began to fade but not enough. Instinct told me I need the sugars, the carbs and mainly the volume of food in my stomach. 30 minutes later, 2 more pop tarts. It finally resolved. It was like medicine. I cancelled all the rest of my healthy snacks for the night to mitigate damage and took it easy. I tried to exercise on my bike but only got in 16 minutes before I started feeling bad so I stopped. Today I feel a bit weird, off. I will retry to eat strictly healthy and see what happens. This episode was definitely different. I am going to closer monitor my blood sugar levels all day today to see if my doses of Metformin are perhaps becoming too strong since my weight loss this year. This weight correction is definitely one I think I need in the moment. Just a day or two buffer should help.

My carbs were under, fiber good, all healthy fats in good numbers, though protein was half my goal. Ah well, perhaps it was water as I thought maybe dehydration might have played a part in my not feeling well for the past couple of days now. I drank pretty good but was likely a wee bit under my normal goal. Sure enough, I feel so so so much better today. DS’s hair appointment was moved to tomorrow with the two DGS’s appointments by the stylist. That is good for me. Now only one day of restaurants afterward instead of two! Enjoy hump day everyone!

    Hello friends! 🌸🌻 Happy August.

    This month I hope to continue with my small goals of consistency and self-care.

    August 1: 224.2 Yesterday was logged and I’m ready to go today!

    August 2: 223.6 logged and done! Yesterday I moved sales offices and today is the first weekend of our VIP sales event. So ready for this… as ready as you can be in new construction homes! Prelogged for the day and MUST STAY HYDRATED!

    August 3: 223.2. Logged and done. Feeling good. Tired after yesterday, but ready for more appointments. Glad I’m taking care of myself first and making myself a priority.

    August 4: 224.2… Logging is done and dusted! Our VIP weekend was a success. Need to catch up on paperwork this morning but not before I check in with you all! Reading everyone’s posts first, getting my ducks in a row, then back to work.

    August 5: 225.4… logged and done… overate dinner and tried to work it off by cutting the grass… obviously didn’t work. AsΒ @deepwoodsladyΒ has said before.. you can’t out walk a bad diet.

    August 6: 224.2 logged and done… feeling good. Spend a nice evening with my hubby and felt more relaxed. Loving the logging everything in the morning plan then making adjustments for dinner. Plus I’m using the Finch app for wellness… it’s free and helpful for squirrel minds like mine.Β 

    August 7: 224.8 logged and done. Time to go weed whip after dragging my feet all day. Time to push through.

    August 8: 224.4 logged and done. Must clean the pool today. Getting together with a good friend on Saturday after work and hanging out in the backyard swimming and having a margarita.Β 

    August 9: 224.8 didn’t log but had a great time. It was so nice to catch up!

    August 10: 225 logged late but got it done! Busy day at work

    August 11: 225.5 will pre-log for the day… to set me up for structure and success. I am ready for a fun and busy Monday… LET’S GO!

    August 12: 223.5 prelogged and ready to go! I love working with a partner at work, but I get more done when I’m alone. 😁 I guess I have the best of both worlds!

    August 13: 222.2 will pre-log for continued success. πŸ₯°

    August 14: 222.4 prelogged and ready for today! My hubby and I are going to a concert tonight. 🎢

I stuck to my diet plan and my newest NSV is that my butt bones are hurting every time I sit down as the cushion I had has shrunk. I first noticed it on the wooden bench at the festival last weekend, but now, even my kitchen and office chairs have become uncomfortable. It’s a discomfort I won’t complain about!

    @herblackwings39 Good for you! I used the 5k Pro couch to K app several years ago before my hips got bad. It was great to work my way up to do some 5ks. It was is free, easy to use (or repeat days as needed) and provides prompts, just in case you need to check out another one. Good luck!! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
