Thoughts at the start of this round:

This round will be challenging as it includes the U.S. holidays of Labor Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving. All are big foodie or party and dessert type holidays in the U.S. There are also multiple birthday celebrations in my family. In addition, there will be a lot of travel which is traditional in the fall for me as I try to avoid as many icy driving trips as possible in the winter months. There will be lots of doctor appointments away from home as well as Christmas and gift-giving shopping in this round. I will have to make sure I stay on top of my plan in every moment I can and to make the necessary corrections every time the scale goes up. We can’t control the ingredients in restaurant food so portion control will be key when away from home. I will again aim for a 10 pound loss this round. Thanks for sharing your journey with me and allowing me to share mine. I am grateful for you all.

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

CURRENT WEEK:

Day 51—10/12—181.8 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.2)

Day 52—10/13—181.2 ✅ (Trend Weight: 183.9)

Day 53—10/14— 181.4 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.7) I’ve been keeping my weekly reduced goals the same since the beginning of the challenge (so far). I am hoping to slowly catch up and be at goal by the end of the challenge although this IS the hardest time of the year. My goal each week is a 0.7 lb loss so in Week 8 I have 3.1 extra pounds to make up for from previous weeks plus the additional current 0.7. I’ll make up as much as I can this week although tomorrow’s travel may set me back a minute. I really want to try to stick to original goals for as long as I can. Either I come in very far away in the end, or very close. I may even reach them. But I don’t want to change where I want to be. Not this round anyway. It’s just how I’m feeling in this moment. A small uptick today probably due to no TMI. Yesterday was a good day for calories, carbs and exercise. I just wasn’t as hungry as usual and left food on my plate at every meal.

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 Day 54—10/15—182.6 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.6) Boy, do I EVER have every excuse in the book today for the weight increase. Dinner AFTER midnight. Up 3 hours early for travel today so a very early weigh-in. A little over 3 hours of sleep. Did I mention that I didn’t EXACTLY stick to my pre-logged food since the entire day was askew? I probably won’t weigh tomorrow due to the travel and the havoc that causes me. I will need at least 24 hours to let the dust settle. So I got my 2024 tax package back from the accountant today. My refund from Federal will cover what I owe the State taxes and I can pay that immediately online on Michigan.gov even though the Federal refund will likely take months, especially with the government shut down. But at least the Fed refund will cover the state bill. Is that what they mean by “robbing Peter to pay Paul?”. Ha!

@age_is_just_a_number In regards to losing 4 lbs in a week not being realistic. Au Contraire my friend! If you look back at my spoiler for the past week to Sept 11 & 12, not only did I lose 4 lbs in the week, I actually lost 4.6 lbs OVERNIGHT. Of course, I know it wasn't 4 lbs of fat going away, anymore than it was 4 lbs of fat coming on prior to that. Sometimes I just skip weighing because it's so confusing to others and frustrating to me. When I don't take my prescribed Lasix and the old ticker is lazy, I can absolutely gain it that quickly and lose it almost as quickly just with one little pill and staying home for the day. Also, TMI (food in transit) can make a huge difference for me. On that particular day I think it was actually that and not a water pill that caused that tremendous weight loss.

Honestly, by keeping my goals running this time, I'm hoping not for an overnight whoosh so much as just being able to catch up. I'm hoping that an extra 0.8 one week, maybe 1.2 the next, maybe an extra 0.6 over and above my 0.7 I hope for each week will add up to enough to make up for what I have not been able to accomplish so far. I'm behind in weight loss/fat loss I know. It is not necessarily all water loss/gain. If the number were to get too big (like 8 pounds behind or something) I probably would re-assess my goal if I'm not in the middle of a water retention crisis. But for now, honestly with this many weeks left, maybe just maybe….. Well, a girl can dream, can't she?

BTW, I do love the new profile icon you are using. I also vote that it stays.
