🎯 Started strong and then just got back into the maintain mode. Not complaining since it is lower than my last 209-211 holding pattern. But really want to strive to feeling more comfortable in a bathing suit before cruising in the South Pacific in March. Pep Talk Time! 6 months … half a year! Plenty of time to lose 20-30 pounds if I focus on 5 lbs per month … basically a pound a week. Dedicate the next 24 weeks to breaking through those mental barriers and pushing the holding pattern lower and lower. Next month’s goal … <2039/1: 209.8 / 208.4 - Yikes! Strong & Fit class

9/5: 206.8 / 207.7 - Did a sleep study at home last night to rule out secondary causes for the blood lab results. Interesting sleeping with all these things connected to your body. No exercise; grandparents day event

9/7: 207.7 / 207.4 - bike 30 min9/8: 209.1 / 207.8 - Strong & Fit class. What is it about Monday’s that the scale jumps up??? Oh duh weekend celebrations and breaking routines.
9/9: 208.6 / 207.8 - Crazy busy day coordinating and testing 58 adult ESL students plus my art class. My Marley Spoon box came in. I love the variety that they offer and the meals are healthy though the portions are too big. It made it really easy to serve pork loin with butternut squash and Brussels sprouts.
9/10: 207.8 / 207.9 - bike 30 min Today I’m devoting to watercolor and making sure I get on my bike. I had 2 compliments that I’m trimming up (especially the legs) … due to the almost daily bike ride. My hematologist oncologist visit was cancelled for today after they tried for 3 weeks to get insurance approval for the lab work. No reason to see him if we have no lab results to review. When I switch to Medicare in October the lab work will not need approval and will be covered. I guess there is one good thing about turning 65 soon.

Losing weight may be a slow process, but quitting won't speed it up.
I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.Happy Scale reading since I've been on this myfitnesspal journey in chart below. I made it to 196 once with weight watchers previously so that is my next target. AND this time unlike the past I will not be bouncing back to 235+.
Met this mini goal: Stay focused on losing weight consistently for a year plus before turning 65 in Oct 2025 ✔️ (set this goal in summer of 2024)

@dawnbgethealthy - Another first in a very very long time which I know you'll understand my challenges and history around this one. I was AF (alcohol free) for 7 out of the past 8 days!!!!!!! As you know I usually can take it or leave it but when DH opens a bottle of wine each night I usually drink those couple of glasses of extra calories for the day. Well for the first time in years we have no wine in the house. I had 2 glasses at my sister's house on Saturday evening and that is it. I know this is one of the reasons I was able to finally break through to a new low.
LOVE your pictures! That dill is really hanging on … mine always burns up in the heat by June. Maybe I should plant it in the fall cooler weather around here. Oh and the lake is so cool. Looking at it I cannot believe it is only a ft deep. Do you ever paddle board on that lake? How are your ankles and knees? Are you up to skating this year? I know it is one of your favorite past times.

Day 78—11/08: DNW – went on a great nature hike with DD23, went out to brunch and stuck to a salad with grilled shrimp. We made a little Thanksgiving dinner for the three of us and I did pretty well then too, though definitely above calories for the day.
Day 79—11/09: DNW – had a great walk with DH, then hung out with DD23 at a place on the beach, had cocktails and split a hummus/veggie platter. We lucked out with weather, were able to sit outside both days this weekend – one last little spark of summer!
Day 80—11/10: DNW – went off the rails today, ate whatever I wanted and added a bottle of wine on top of that. I think it was a little related to DD23 leaving, I was very melancholy and definitely was eating my feelings.
Day 81—11/11: 213.0 – not as bad as I expected – did a good cardio workout & stretch & got back on track..
Day 82—11/12: 211.6 – maybe I still have a shot at a loss this week, or at least breaking even. I’m a little shocked I’m not up more on the scale, I guess the good choices I made over the weekend weren’t totally blown by my day off the rails.
Day 83—11/13: 212.4 – Didn’t get to exercise yesterday & missed the Metamucil dose I normally have which I think is impacting the scale today…ahem. 🙄 But just got a good cardio weights workout in and a stretch. I am ready for the weekend to start!

No skating yet, but I will be. I was off of work in time yesterday for the public skating at the arena, but rushed home to finish off that last 2nd to last beet bed instead. Not a whole lot there, lots of tiny ones, but it is cleaned out and covered until spring. My dill flourishes even when it is 100f I think that I had 6 or 7 instances of it this past year! My garden is wild, so I let the seeds fly around and they indeed plant themselves.
Yes about the alcohol. I know for sure that I would be 3 pounds less if I forego the nightly cocktail(s). It isn't just the calories, our livers stop burning fat and concentrate instead on dealing with the wine/liquor.

MFP actually listened to the users this time around. They asked for feedback on the proposed new food diary. I sent a scathing review after trying it, more RTF from the 1980s, less of the functionality that we are used to. Today they posted this:

Hi : - )
I am Dawn. I turned 65 this round. I have changed my eating habits over time. I basically eat half of the amount that I used to, and have limited eating Ribs to once every 3 months instead of once per week. I eat everything, just less of it and/or less often. I topped out at 207, at 5'2" that is not healthy at all! I joined MFP at 198lbs. Ultimate health goal for my arthritic feet is 110-118.

Day 78—11/08 — 135.4 - Split shift today, tomorrow is a straight through shift so I need to take advantage of the break this afternoon to get the few beets that I pulled peeled and boiled. I will need to take lots of food with me to the restaurant tomorrow and beets are a great snack for me. People either love them or hate them, the same with Cilantro.
Day 79—11/09 — 136.4 - Late night dinners are catching up with me on the scale. Monday and Tuesday will be different, no evening jobs. Yesterday I peeled and sliced carrots during my break and when I got home from work sauteed them in 2tbsp of honey garlic sauce. I added 3/4 a cup of rice and at the end added some onion tops from some that I am growing inside in pots. Healthy food, and healthy foods all week. I just couldn't skip dinner after work, I was too hungry. I am really due for some indulgent food, maybe Monday night I will have some wings, I have a frozen box of the pre-cooked kind from Safeway. Straight through shift today, lots of food ready to take to eat throughout the day: an apple, some belle pepper strips, a chicken sandwich, my own potato salad. Yes, of course I could eat the restaurant food for free, but I choose not to because I would be 50 pounds heavier if I did that, and I don't want to be.
Day 80—11/10 — 137.2 - Still climbing, another late dinner. Re-thinking my indulgent meal for tonight! Day off tomorrow : - ) Sooooo looking forward to getting outside!
Day 81—11/11 — 137.4 - 6 chicken wings for dinner, but it was earlier, 7:30 which was great. Day off today, so dinner will be early again. Remembrance Day ceremony in the park at 11am, glad that I am not working so that I can attend.
Day 82—11/12 — 136.8 - I had a productive day off. So far no shifts have come up for my auxiliary job today, so after work I will likely do some more in the garden. I truly hate daylight savings time - because of my schedule. I have one hour less of daylight after work, so am limited to what I can achieve. I kind of like it dark in the mornings instead. Hopefully this is the last year that we do this.
Day 83—11/13 — 138.8 - Ouch, a 2 pound gain overnight? Sheesh. Hopefully just a blip.

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!

Day 80—11/10—181.0 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.2)
Day 81—11/11—183.4 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.2)
Day 82—11/12—182.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 183.1) My food plan was good yesterday and no sugar drops. I had switched my lighter meal to night and my heavier meal midday and that did not work for me. I switched them back. Yes, it means I lay down for bed & tv with more calories unprocessed, but it helps (so far) with the glucose. I got kicked off my exercise bike last night after 22 minutes by my son, but that’s okay because he definitely needs to lose weight more than me. While he did his spinning I made our 9:30 pm dinner then read 3 chapters of my book club book (meeting is Monday). I’m a little behind on the reading. I also got some house cleaning in which got me up off my retired derriere. I mainly worked on the 2nd floor so there were lots of extra stairs yesterday. The 2nd floor mainly belongs to my DGS and he will be back tomorrow to nice smelling freshly washed sheets and blankets and all his crumbs vacuumed up. He will be turning 8 on November 29th s so he is still at an age where he appreciates everything. Those teenage years aren’t here yet!
🦃🦃🦃🦃 Day 83—11/13—183.4 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.2) Eyes popping out of head over here, arms crossed, brows furrowed. I did have an extra small snack last night but then got back on exercise bike for another 30 minutes (for a total of 75 minutes). You can’t outride the fork. Meals were on target and I got in lots of extra steps and movement with more housecleaning and organizing. This is a shock and a disappointment. Bad sleep (again) probably played into this as well. The neuropathy has been horrible in my feet the last few nights and there is just no getting past it. My fitbit readiness level showed 18 out of 100 today which is very low. DD and DGS will be back later this afternoon. We also have the book fair at 6:00 pm at school for DGS.

🎯 Started strong and then just got back into the maintain mode. Not complaining since it is lower than my last 209-211 holding pattern. But really want to strive to feeling more comfortable in a bathing suit before cruising in the South Pacific in March. Pep Talk Time! 6 months … half a year! Plenty of time to lose 20-30 pounds if I focus on 5 lbs per month … basically a pound a week. Dedicate the next 24 weeks to breaking through those mental barriers and pushing the holding pattern lower and lower. Next month’s goal … <2039/1: 209.8 / 208.4 - Yikes! Strong & Fit class

9/9: 208.6 / 207.8 - Crazy busy day coordinating and testing 58 adult ESL students plus my art class. My Marley Spoon box came in. I love the variety that they offer and the meals are healthy though the portions are too big. It made it really easy to serve pork loin with butternut squash and Brussels sprouts.
9/10: 207.8 / 207.9 - bike 30 min Today I’m devoting to watercolor and making sure I get on my bike. I had 2 compliments that I’m trimming up (especially the legs) … due to the almost daily bike ride. My hematologist oncologist visit was cancelled for today after they tried for 3 weeks to get insurance approval for the lab work. No reason to see him if we have no lab results to review. When I switch to Medicare in October the lab work will not need approval and will be covered. I guess there is one good thing about turning 65 soon.

We went to the Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market where they had more than 280 merchants. It was crowded and very much a mad house. I bought less than I thought I would … a little overwhelming but fun. I went with my best friend, DD and one of DD's friends. They took the day off. We ran into my best friend's daughter that took the day off too and was out with a group of 8 friends. I don't think I need to go back for a few years again LOL
My Apple fitness app doesn't seem to be collecting data since I upgraded to the new iPhone 17 Pro. Present from DH for my birthday. I need to figure that out but only noticed just now when trying to figure out how many steps I walked yesterday.

I haven't posted since the 11th. It's been a bit of an up-side-down week. Monday we had friends over for dinner. Tuesday I was just wiped out from Monday and barely left the couch. Wednesday we visited my in-laws (they are 87 & 91 and my FIL isn't doing that well). Thursday we got a new puppy! So far so good with the puppy, except that my husband cleaned the crate and I gave the puppy a bath this morning (enough said as to why all that was required). I exercised on Monday and Thursday. Went for a walk on Tuesday.
Today, I'm supposed to go to the ROM for a curator talk. We were both supposed to go, but one of us has to stay with the puppy. My husband volunteered. If I'm going to go, I need to get a quick workout and get ready. I think I should go. I'll report back later if I did or how it was.
I haven't weighed myself all week. I just can't face the scale. I don't think I've ever felt that way before and actually not weighed. IN calories have been too high and OUT calories have been too low. So, I just know the scale is not going to give me a happy message. I'm going to focus on my IN and getting those back to 1770. I know I can do it, I've done it before and 1770 is a lot of calories. Once I've been at 1770 for a bit, then I'll start doing daily weighing again.

Day 78—11/08: DNW – went on a great nature hike with DD23, went out to brunch and stuck to a salad with grilled shrimp. We made a little Thanksgiving dinner for the three of us and I did pretty well then too, though definitely above calories for the day.
Day 79—11/09: DNW – had a great walk with DH, then hung out with DD23 at a place on the beach, had cocktails and split a hummus/veggie platter. We lucked out with weather, were able to sit outside both days this weekend – one last little spark of summer!
Day 80—11/10: DNW – went off the rails today, ate whatever I wanted and added a bottle of wine on top of that. I think it was a little related to DD23 leaving, I was very melancholy and definitely was eating my feelings.
Day 81—11/11: 213.0 – not as bad as I expected – did a good cardio workout & stretch & got back on track..
Day 82—11/12: 211.6 – maybe I still have a shot at a loss this week, or at least breaking even. I’m a little shocked I’m not up more on the scale, I guess the good choices I made over the weekend weren’t totally blown by my day off the rails.
Day 83—11/13: 212.4 – Didn’t get to exercise yesterday & missed the Metamucil dose I normally have which I think is impacting the scale today…ahem. But just got a good cardio weights workout in and a stretch. I am ready for the weekend to start!
Day 84—11/14: 209.8 – VERY exciting to see a new decade on the scale, even it takes some time to stick! Turns out I do get to record a loss for this week, which is kind of stunning. It’s a really great reminder that one bad day doesn’t have to mean failure for the week, as long as I don’t add to that bad day with 4 more!
Week 12 Loss or Gain: 1.2 pounds lost
Cumulative Loss or Gain: 15.2 pounds lost

Hi : - )
I am Dawn. I turned 65 this round. I have changed my eating habits over time. I basically eat half of the amount that I used to, and have limited eating Ribs to once every 3 months instead of once per week. I eat everything, just less of it and/or less often. I topped out at 207, at 5'2" that is not healthy at all! I joined MFP at 198lbs. Ultimate health goal for my arthritic feet is 110-118.

Day 78—11/08 — 135.4 - Split shift today, tomorrow is a straight through shift so I need to take advantage of the break this afternoon to get the few beets that I pulled peeled and boiled. I will need to take lots of food with me to the restaurant tomorrow and beets are a great snack for me. People either love them or hate them, the same with Cilantro.
Day 79—11/09 — 136.4 - Late night dinners are catching up with me on the scale. Monday and Tuesday will be different, no evening jobs. Yesterday I peeled and sliced carrots during my break and when I got home from work sauteed them in 2tbsp of honey garlic sauce. I added 3/4 a cup of rice and at the end added some onion tops from some that I am growing inside in pots. Healthy food, and healthy foods all week. I just couldn't skip dinner after work, I was too hungry. I am really due for some indulgent food, maybe Monday night I will have some wings, I have a frozen box of the pre-cooked kind from Safeway. Straight through shift today, lots of food ready to take to eat throughout the day: an apple, some belle pepper strips, a chicken sandwich, my own potato salad. Yes, of course I could eat the restaurant food for free, but I choose not to because I would be 50 pounds heavier if I did that, and I don't want to be.
Day 80—11/10 — 137.2 - Still climbing, another late dinner. Re-thinking my indulgent meal for tonight! Day off tomorrow : - ) Sooooo looking forward to getting outside!
Day 81—11/11 — 137.4 - 6 chicken wings for dinner, but it was earlier, 7:30 which was great. Day off today, so dinner will be early again. Remembrance Day ceremony in the park at 11am, glad that I am not working so that I can attend.
Day 82—11/12 — 136.8 - I had a productive day off. So far no shifts have come up for my auxiliary job today, so after work I will likely do some more in the garden. I truly hate daylight savings time - because of my schedule. I have one hour less of daylight after work, so am limited to what I can achieve. I kind of like it dark in the mornings instead. Hopefully this is the last year that we do this.
Day 83—11/13 — 138.8 - Ouch, a 2 pound gain overnight? Sheesh. Hopefully just a blip.
Day 84—11/14 — 138.4 - Not a good week for my weight, 3 pounds up in one week. Sigh.

Congratulations on no booze in the house. We don't keep any in the house either. Plus, that stuff is $$. You are doing great! @Lilylady3k

Yesterday's exercise included a short outdoor walk, a 30-minute upper body workout, and an easy cooldown spin on the bike. The day before was higher intensity spin, lower body, and dance. I haven't eaten out in a while mostly because of prices these days, but it does help to keep the food cals in line. I know exactly what I'm getting when I do the cooking. Maybe I can get under 150lb by the end of this round? Not sure, as Thanksgiving is around the corner. Now, there's a challenge.
Oh, one more thing: my VO2max went back to "high" for my age group. It had dropped out of that range. There is one thing that makes the difference for me: how much time I spend on that spin bike. I've been on it much more lately. I'm hoping to get back on my outside bike sometime soon. I'm starting to miss it badly.

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!

Day 83—11/13—183.4 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.2) Eyes popping out of head over here, arms crossed, brows furrowed. I did have an extra small snack last night but then got back on exercise bike for another 30 minutes (for a total of 75 minutes). You can’t outride the fork. Meals were on target and I got in lots of extra steps and movement with more housecleaning and organizing. This is a shock and a disappointment. Bad sleep (again) probably played into this as well. The neuropathy has been horrible in my feet the last few nights and there is just no getting past it. My fitbit readiness level showed 18 out of 100 today which is very low. DD and DGS will be back later this afternoon. We also have the book fair at 6:00 pm at school for DGS.
🦃🦃🦃🦃 Day 84—11/14— DNW ↔️ (Trend Weight: DNW) No weigh Friday for me. Today was still a school day for my DGS so up I was for the bus, as usual. Normally school is cancelled for opening day of hunting in our schools and all the surrounding counties’ schools but this year the 15th is on a Saturday so the kids don’t get that break. Obviously, most everyone hunts here so it is a big deal that the kids can go with their parents. (Yes, many of the women hunt too, even bow hunting). The kids take junior hunting courses available in the area first as it’s required. It’s a big weekend for our tiny town. Traffic will be heavier and we will have to wait in lines at stores, restaurants and other such things we are not used to. Most people stock up on what they will need before this week begins. I try to be one of them. I’m not sure what DD and DGS and I are doing this weekend yet. Hopefully no travel. We pass a lot of woods and a national forest or two in much of our travels. I often wonder if a bullet could come whizzing out toward the road on a fluke. I was born & raised in the city so I think very differently than my neighbors.

Day 78—11/08—146.0 Today will be my first time attending the Maui Arbor Day Expo. They’ll have lectures about invasive species and pests, demonstrations, a plant sale and a free plant giveaway! My daughter use to attend every year until she moved away. But now that she’s back, she will be dragging my mom & I along with her. I’m sure we’ll enjoy it and come home with a plant or two!
Day 79—11/09—146.8 Understandable uptick after a nice evening out, including dinner, 1 glass of wine and a chocolate dessert. Trend weight (146.9) hasn’t been this low since the latter part of September.
Day 80—11/10—147.0 Dinner was a bit late last night.
Day 81—11/11—147.1
Day 82—11/12—147.9 Uptick in weight but I feel inflammation is down.
Yesterday’s physical activity: Walked the dog and did a couple of Peloton classes.

Good Afternoon, Everyone! How did we all do this week?
@age_is_just_a_number ....awwww....SO adorable!! Best wishes to you all!
@deepwoodslady , yeah...you have to be brought up with the whole hunting thing. I am not a fan, but to each their own.
@jennysweet58 , NICE loss! Congrats!!
Day 78—11/08— 159.4 - This was a bit of a lazy day. I had 2 eggs and toast for breakfast and vegetables for dinner. Daughter called.…she is starting to feel some pain from the surgery and she has no way to get in the shower to wash. She needs one of those chairs that sits over the tub so you can slide into the tub and sit. My ex had one but when he was able to walk again, he got rid of it. I wish I could buy her one but I can't. 😔
Day 79—11/09— 159.4 - I go to see my egg lady this afternoon....I only have 2 eggs left. I got my SNAP money before the appeal kicked in so I can get to the grocery store for some bread, milk, butter and maybe a couple other things. I ordered my Atkins shakes from Amazon....its nice they take SNAP for some groceries....so I will have them for an occasional breakfast. And I am not ashamed to admit I will be buying the ingredients to make a pie to take to Thanksgiving dinner for my family.
Day 80—11/10— 159.2 - A slow day today. Did some online Christmas shopping. I had the rest of the chicken and some mashed potatoes for lunch and some grapes. Dinner was a tuna/hard-boiled egg sandwich. The Eagles are playing tonight, so I will be watching that.
Day 81—11/11— 159.8 - I had some veggies for brunch and a piece of a stromboli for dinner. I don't care for stromboli, but it was free. I declined my ex's offer to take some home.
I bought some groceries from Amazon and they were delivered today along with a case of ginger ale for my daughter. It came in a plastic bag, which thought was dumb. Little did I realize how dumb was until I opened the bag and saw that one of the cans if soda had burst soaked everything else in the bag. I immediately took a couple pictures of the mess and then got on my laptop and got on CS chat. The reps were very helpful and in the end, they credited my SNAP for the 3 boxes of macaroni and the ginger ale.
And that was my excitement for the day.
Day 82—11/12— 160.2 - Well, I now know what stromboli does to me. I won't be eating it again and I won't miss it. I'm going out to dinner later...not sure where yet.
I am getting a draftsman's chair for my kitchen. It has an adjustable height so I can sit at the stove or the counter and prepare meals. I have needed this for months and my son told me to get one and he would pay for it. I am so happy!! I miss cooking.
Day 83—11/13— Forgot to weigh. 😔
Day 84—11/14— 160 - Did a little shopping today...got a rotisserie chicken and salad greens. And some much needed undergarments...lol! I had an Atkins shake for breakfast...I'll have the chicken and veggies for dinner.

🎯 Started strong and then just got back into the maintain mode. Not complaining since it is lower than my last 209-211 holding pattern. But really want to strive to feeling more comfortable in a bathing suit before cruising in the South Pacific in March. Pep Talk Time! 6 months … half a year! Plenty of time to lose 20-30 pounds if I focus on 5 lbs per month … basically a pound a week. Dedicate the next 24 weeks to breaking through those mental barriers and pushing the holding pattern lower and lower. Next month’s goal … <2039/1: 209.8 / 208.4 - Yikes! Strong & Fit class

9/9: 208.6 / 207.8 - Crazy busy day coordinating and testing 58 adult ESL students plus my art class. My Marley Spoon box came in. I love the variety that they offer and the meals are healthy though the portions are too big. It made it really easy to serve pork loin with butternut squash and Brussels sprouts.
9/10: 207.8 / 207.9 - bike 30 min Today I’m devoting to watercolor and making sure I get on my bike. I had 2 compliments that I’m trimming up (especially the legs) … due to the almost daily bike ride. My hematologist oncologist visit was cancelled for today after they tried for 3 weeks to get insurance approval for the lab work. No reason to see him if we have no lab results to review. When I switch to Medicare in October the lab work will not need approval and will be covered. I guess there is one good thing about turning 65 soon.

Nova is adorable!! I forget the name of your other dog, who looks a little unsure about what is happening.
That was a big decision on your part to get another Newf.

Hi : - )
I am Dawn. I turned 65 this round. I have changed my eating habits over time. I basically eat half of the amount that I used to, and have limited eating Ribs to once every 3 months instead of once per week. I eat everything, just less of it and/or less often. I topped out at 207, at 5'2" that is not healthy at all! I joined MFP at 198lbs. Ultimate health goal for my arthritic feet is 110-118.

Day 85—11/15 — 137.2 - Getting 2 days off per week officially came into play yesterday. I'm not sure if it will begin this coming week or later on. It will be an adjustment for me after years of 6 or 7 days per week. I will hit my stride after getting used to it.

Finally got my IN calories to within my target. Had a great day yesterday. Did 15 minutes of light cardio and went to the ROM for the Crawford Lake curator talk. The talk was really interesting, they have been studying Crawford Lake for 55 years. One of the speakers has been involved for the entire time! I then walked through the Wildlife Photographer of the Year and the Crawford Lake exhibits. I wasn't sure how I'd like going by myself, but it was nice to be able to go at my own pace and not worry about going too slow or too fast. In the afternoon, we walked Luna; Nova is going for walks yet, probably next week we'll start with 15-20 minutes for her.
I felt good about facing the scale this morning, so got that data point. It wasn't great, but at least it wasn't higher than the last weight. I am no where near my goals for week 12 or this challenge, but I am not giving up.
Week 12 summary:
Start - 140.4
Goals - 137 (remember, I pre-set them two weeks ago); 1770 IN calories / day
Actual - 141.6; 2156 average IN calories / day
Wrong direction, but I will get it back going in the other direction and set new goals for the next challenge. I often find that when I've had a couple of weeks of gains, then I have a week of a big drop, so, you never know with consistency and actually staying within my IN target, I still have a good chance of making progress in this challenge.5 -
Thank you for you and others. They are both Newfoundland dogs.
Luna is our other dog. Now we have the Moon and the Stars. I voted for Star as the name for the new puppy, but my husband preferred Nova.
Not really a big decision for us. Once you have a Newfoundland dog, then there is no other breed for you. They are the most fabulous gentle giants around. Lots of drool and grooming, but that comes with the territory. They are very social dogs and having two gives them company. The next 6 months will feel a little long as Nova grows. But once she is house trained and big enough to be out of her crate most of the time and play with Luna, life will be 100% awesome.
For five years we fostered Newfoundland dogs and had our own dogs as well. Occasionally, we've had three giant/large dogs in the house at one time.
