    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Starting Weight (from August 31): 186.8
    Goal Weight: 181.8 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual End of Challenge Weight on Sept 30, 2021:


    09/01 – [/color=orchid…..182.8 (Trend Weight: 187.8)…..I find this weight hard to believe today. 4 pound loss overnight??? (After a 2.4 loss the day before???) My scale is reliable and I stepped on it 3 times but I don’t trust this and consider it a fluctuation. I did everything right. I had TM. I finally slept over 4 and ½ hours which is good for me> But that is a bit much. Traveling today and tomorrow. Plenty of sitting and restaurant food. I’ll be home each night and will keep up with the posts. Friday morning my scale reading will not be pretty but that is how I roll.

    09/02 - …..185.2 (Trend Weight: 187.5)…..This weight is probably more accurate, even after travel. I was very suspicious of the scale reading yesterday. It may have been real because my scale is very reliable, but was likely a temporary lower fluctuation or fluke. Traveling again today with a friend for her medical appointment. It is a longer trip and I will likely be home late. Hopefully before dark though (deer at night). I will be counting my Sunday weight as my true weight. That puts all travel behind me and allows for a day or two to shed water retention from travels. Plenty of more travel next week and the week after due to all the cancer checks and scans that became necessary after my yearly mamm exam. I also fit many appointments in the fall to avoid too much winter driving since all the specialists and hospitals I see are so far from my rural home. That leaves both spring and fall full of travel but better than icy roads and snow for those distances!
    09/03 - …..187.5 (Trend Weight: 187.7)…..Yikes. This travel really hurt! Back home and on track today. New cement being poured for new steps from the top of my hill at my house down to the road (my mailbox). Exciting day. I’ll stay on track and reverse this temporary damage. Staying positive here!
    09/04 - …..187.5 (Trend Weight: 187.8)….. Yesterday I found out that my ex-sister-in-law that I’ve known for 46 years died of Covid in South Carolina. She was fully vaccinated and had just turned 64. She was immuno-compromised. Her daughter found her unresponsive in her home (she lived alone). She was alive, but was later determined to be brain dead. She was lucky enough to get a ventilator for a short time since they are scarce, but she was taken off all life support measures when it was determined she would never wake up and never go home. Please, even if vaccinated, mask up in those highly public places. More people love you and don’t want to lose you than you even realize. I spent all evening and night eating my emotions and moving into the 2nd phase of grief = anger. I am surprised the scale didn’t go up. Today I will try hard to be more mindful. The food binges changes nothing.
    09/05 - …..188.2 (Trend Weight: 187.8)….. I was slightly in the green until about 1:00 AM. I then ate 400 calories more which put me over. Part emotional eating and part hunger. My mind is so cluttered with the death of my sister-in-law, my own health problems and my extensive renovations (that are taking way too long) that I just am not planning as well as I should be. I could have walked more yesterday as I had some extra time and freedom to leave the house but I didn’t. My day was filled with phone calls and texts in regards to the death. I could have walked along the yard while I talked but I didn’t. I felt like I had been wrung out like a wet rag. BBQ today for Labor Day with family. I can’t make any promises…..
    09/06 - …..189.4 (Trend Weight: 188.0)…..Well went out again this morning. Handyman came & got it running but I’m afraid to use two things at once. Not starting this day off okay at all. I hate having to bother the neighbors for their water spigot and hose to prime my well. They have company staying with them for the holiday weekend! What a nuisance I’ve become! BBQ yesterday was good. My calorie intake was too high but my calories burned overall was very good so I was a little surprised to see the scale this morning. All these stresses, all this cortisol, and I know my glucose is up due to stress. None of that is working for me. I am going to try for an extra low calorie day with extra movement. I’ve got to get back in the groove.

    You are dealing with so much, and it's hard to cope with the stress when things keep piling on. Right now, focus on what you need in each moment, don't focus on what you think you should have done. You're exhausted and rightfully so. Treat yourself kindly and with love.

    I have to figure out something to stop eating that one little bag of Cool Ranch Doritos with 3 oreos at night! Any suggestions for the late night snacker while watching tv??


    My first thought would be to get it out of the house, but that's often not possible. Maybe try substituting the chips and cookies for something else that's crunchy, like an apple dipped in yogurt or a little pb; veg dipped in hummus. I think you're looking for the crunch and the "snack" motion.
