Sept 21
Exercise: Yes
Calories: Yes
Tracked: Yes

Briskly walked between train stations (about 1.1 miles, 20 minutes or so, depending on crossing roads) twice, plus 40 minute back and biceps routine when I got home.

This morning (Sept 22), my average weight for Sun-Sat (today) is roughly 3 lbs lower than last week. Not sure I'll hold on to this loss through the weekend, but it feels like sometimes the weight pours off, and sometimes it trickles. When it pours off, I start to worry that I'm doing something wrong. I am the most anxious loser ever.

Sorry about the late checkin. Wi-fi has been hit-and-miss since i landed here. My son uses an oxygen concentrator and local airlines don't have any experience with them, so my travel plans are changing daily, maybe hourly.

I am down with a cold today. He just started a fever of 100.4. I'm bummed because a light cold can easily put my son in the intensive care unit. So i went out and bought lots of supplements for both of us: zinc, vitamin c, elderberry, echinacea,.. We're both using colloidal silver spray, too. Fingers crossed, positive thoughts/prayers appreciated.

On the food front, I'm happily eating all the Turkish food that i have missed for years. So I've had too many carbs (bakery mostly) but have not gained yet😊

@metubal I hope your son is able to recover from his fever easily, and that you and he both have a happy and healthy visit in Turkey. How long are you visiting for? (Also, congrats on your on-the-road loss for the week - that's not easy!)

We'll be here until 10/20. We are not going out as often as I hoped, but eventually we will kick this cold's butt and enjoy the sea and the beaches, and the history.

(Sorry in advance for long post - a lot to catch up on)

September 20
Exercised?: Yes (8000 steps lugging baggage to the office, then through airports and transfers)
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes

Short but hectic day in Spain followed by flight home.

Out of internet contact for a large amount of the day.



September 21
Exercised?: No (24+ hours travel time and changing 8 hours in time zone, no chance to really exercise)
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes

Long flights (Madrid to Dubai (7 hours), then Dubai to Melbourne (14 hours)). Only 90 mins transfer time (which is very tight).

Food was passable (gluten free preference). Don't usually have any bread and I find now the gluten free bread on the airlines is fairly tasteless (so I mostly leave it). Means I usually have to self-top up cater to ensure I get enough calories for the day.

Home in time for my wife's birthday (22nd).



September 22
Exercised?: Yes (over 10,000 steps)
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes

Wife's birthday.

Fantastic dinner out at teppanyaki restaurant. Japanese is my wife's favourite style of food and not having to cook is always a bonus. It also fit in with her keto style diet.

Unfortunately my wife had been ill the previous day with food poisoning and spent most of the day recovering. She had planned to go out with a craft group for the day but was not feeling up to it.

My wife is doing amazingly well. I am unbelievably proud of her and try tell her this as often as possible.

She has not had to have insulin for the past 3 weeks. The blood sugars are mostly under control (when ill, they spike, bet that is a normal bodily defence). She was hoping to be under 100kg (220lbs) by her birthday (started at over 110kg (240+lbs) in July). She is currently under 97kg (215lbs) and on target to be under 90kg (<200lbs - one-derland) by Christmas. If she gets there, it will be the first time in her adult life not being classified as obese (BMI < 30).

As she had planned to spend most of the day out, it had been pre-arranged that I could go flying. The local drone racing club was having a race that had been postponed by a week because of poor weather. Despite not feeling up to going to her event, she insisted that I go to mine (will have little chance to fly as work is having me travel back to Spain next weekend). I helped set up the track, run the day, race and pack up. Flew surprisingly despite jetlag and placed second in my division.

It ended up being a long day and was happy to finally get some sleep.


September 23
Exercised?: Yes (6km in 46mins - hills)
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes

Really slow start to the day. Jetlag finally kicked in and slept in followed by being fuzzy headed most of the day.

Still got out and walked which helped A LOT. Did not feel like walking, but knew I needed it. Was so nice to walk in the forest again after missing it for 2 weeks. Motion creates emotion.

Late night catching up on things, and work from home tomorrow (and phone conference with Spain tomorrow evening.

Busy days ahead and not feeling ready for them yet. Maybe that's the Jetlag talking.

I weigh myself everyday... and it's not official.... as Sunday is my weigh in and the only one I keep track of.. but I'm so excited I thought I'd give you all a sneak peak... I'm in the 290's!!! No more 300 for this girl! Official weight to follow tomorrow This was my first mini goal. 30 lbs in 64 days. I'd say my weight loss is going well... Next mini goal will be 279 as that means I'll have less than 100 lbs to lose. Goal weight is 180 ( I'm 6'1). If I keep pace... it'll be another 60 days or so but that's okay.

Happy Weigh-in Day, @WishfulThinning18 !! You're our only Sunday weigh-in. What's the verdict?!!

Can't wait to celebrate with you.

@ShareASmile I know it stinks not to see a move downward, but holding steady isn't necessarily a bad thing. You know how people say some big percent of weight loss is mental? I always imagine weight loss is like I'm gripping on to the edge of a cliff. If I can pull myself a little bit up the cliff that's great, but I'm also pretty psyched to just keep my fingerholds in this cliff and not slip backwards. Does that make sense?

So hang on, and you'll pull yourself up.
