Oct 9:
✅✅✅ Exercise today was a 15-mile #icecream walk. We're supposed to have dinner tomorrow with my son's family for my DIL's birthday. I didn't think that I would have time to do it tomorrow between the end of church and our dinner out.
Pass Days Used: 1/3 (4Oct)
I agree with Jana_2020 in that I honestly don't know what # I want to get to. But I agree with this nugget in that with my lifelong healthy "habits" in place, I'm anxious to see where this takes me.
Best of luck to you @bradkcrew !! I know you'll do well. You've worked very hard!
@mshawski what a terrific picture! You all look so happy and healthy! Great smiles!

Date: 10/9
Exercised ?: YES did a 3 hr Fitness Tour! Good time. Walked in between workouts. Tried to do couch to 5k but might have to do a “back to back” Sunday And Monday and “rest” on Tuesday. Pray I won’t be as sore but this is the a great way to jump start my new goal of working out for 20 mins in the morning. I’m going to start off with 5 mins a day though and if I want to go longer I will.
Calories ? YES
Tracked? YES
Pass Days 0/3
The nugget today was good food for thought. Where are my numbers coming from? 🤔 I’m make a note to celebrate what I have accomplished. I look forward to where the journey takes me.
@donna25trinity my journal habit is escaping me too.
@biketheworld thanks again for sharing—your honesty was very insightful4 -
Yes for 3.5

Due to the demands of moving from our home/farm, I don’t have enough bandwidth to track. Frankly, we don’t have a functioning kitchen.
I’ll check back in after we have completed moved from this place.
I’ll be back. This has been a 6 month process. It’s not over yet12 -
Nice message with today's nugget. I've lost a lot of weight and am still what some would call "plus size" but I'm pretty pleased with my curvy look - tired of wasting my precious life comparing myself to an impossible standard and women years younger than me. I just want to focus on eating better and working out with a few more lbs off to finish out my journey.
Exercise: Yes, just toning and squats today
Tracking: Yes
w/in calorie budget: Yes
See ya all tomorrow 6 -

Sounds good Rick. @RangerRickL We’ll miss you, but definitely understand. We are so proud of you, doing so well, at such a busy & stressful time.
Good luck with all the final tasks & move!! I’m sure you are both “seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!”
Best,
Maddie 🌸

Nugget 4: I was Really Curious what I would look & feel like at BMI 24.9. So I kept losing slowly until I got there.
Then I realized I definitely had more to lose, so I talked with doc as i mentioned & he agreed another 10 would be fine, “but don’t lose more without talking to me.”
I ended up going past the goal I set of 155 to 150.1. However, I’d noticed I was hungrier at 159 & really hungry below 155 (also looked much slimmer below 155.)
But with high healthy BMI of 166, I decided - over time- to have a maintenance range 155-160. Currently, I’m slightly above that but working hard to get back in MY range.
One thing I read about this…your GW will change over time (as you age, different types of workouts, etc.) We are works in progress.

Checking in for the past 3 days. 1 pass day used thanks to late night snacking but otherwise all good! Yesterday had a fantastic treadmill jog, the best I've done in ages. Today just a walk.
Tomorrow was supposed to be a planned pass but since I used one already I'll try to keep my Thanksgiving meal in check!5 -
Ugh, binged tonight so used my 3rd Pass Day.
DH is the scoutmaster for the boy scout troop and they're camping this weekend. When I'm home alone like that I have a tendency to want to pig out--especially in the evening--because no one's around to watch me eat a bunch of junk. It started innocently enough with a toasted bagel, but that opened the "all or nothing" floodgates so then I had a Hershey bar, the half cup of fettuccine of DH's he didn't finish Thursday, a Nature Valley Crunchy granola bar, about 7 almonds, a serving of Puffins Original cereal, and a second Hershey bar. Hopefully I'm done now!
Cue Scarlett O'Hara, "tomorrow is another day!"
Tracked - up until the binge....
Within calorie budget - nope
Exercised - YES, treadmill this morning:
30 minutes walking
Plus a 2 mile interval run, alternating every quarter mile between fast and slow mphs:
6.2, 3.7, 6.5, 3.7, 6.8, 3.7, 7.0, 3.7 mph.

@bradkcrew I have had the pre-race jitters with pretty much all 53 of the races I've done, so you are not alone. Hope you're able to get some sleep tonight. 🙂 It will feel SO GOOD once you've crossed the finish line. Let us know how it goes! 😀🏃♀️3

Posting for two days..,Friday 8th was a pass day.. not sure why, no reason, I just felt tired and wanted sugar to pick me up in the afternoon/ evening.
Saturday I managed to sleep in and that was great! Really helped my energy. Three yeses for Saturday!
I’m still feeling surprisingly low on energy post covid. It has been several weeks now (and since I’m vaccinated it should only have been mild, short-lived symptoms) but still I’m having to go super easy on exercise, sticking with gentle yoga and short walks. Hoping to be back up to full strength soon, I find it a lot easier to stick to a calorie limit when I can burn extra calories and also keep busy with it!
@slimtastesbetter sorry to hear about the binge. Definitely been there a lot myself especially when alone. Put it behind you and have a great Sunday!
@mshawski what a gorgeous family photo

My laptop is acting like the piece of crap it is. I don't particularly like posting from my phone because I invariably hit "done" instead of "post" and have to start over again. Ah well.
Exercise - Yes. Halloween decorations today. Up and down the step ladder. Up and down the stairs to check placement. Plus I walked the dog for her last potty spin of the night.
Tracking - yes. Estimated a lot today. Went to lunch with my son and we went for sushi. I tried some things I've not had before. Couldn't find most of it on MFP, so just tracked random sushi dishes and hoped it was close. Surprised but not, at the calories involved.
Calories - No. In addition to the sushi, I went to Jack in the Box for dinner. I think we all know how that turned out.
Frankly, today's eating was much like I ate in the past and it hurts to see how many calories I consumed on a regular basis. Moving forward.7 -

PS: Just thought I would add to what I had already said on today's topic. Although I had an 'ideal' Ultimate Goal weight when I started, as time went on, I found it useful to break it down into 10 lb steps, and then 5 lb steps, and plan a non food reward for each little mini goal I achieved. I wasn't sure where I would end up.
At the moment I am choosing to maintain. Who knows what the future will bring.9 -
