(1683/1247 - I was on my way to a good night... but my stress levels got to me while I was at the store last night and I picked up a package of donut holes. I put them back, but my daughter picked them back up again and bought them. So, I ate them. The whole effing package. Somewhere in the vicinity of 16 donut holes. Le sigh. Next time I go for "forbidden fruit," like a bananas or oranges or something)

December 3—208.1 pounds… there it goes up…Popeyes chicken sandwich, mashed potatoes, and Mac and cheese last night for dinner. I know better than to eat that much at night. Feeling stuffed this morning and needing to drink a gallon of water to quench my thirst. Logged it…Acknowledged it… and moving forward. Making a big salad for lunch! 🥗 Happy Day 3!

I'm not sure why I go so long without posting here. Maybe it's embarrassment that I'm going the wrong way and I've backslid horribly in taking proper care of myself. I'd hate to see what my A1C is right now. I'm eating my emotions and stress. Hello, carbs! I've always had a touch of FOMO (I had to look this up the other day because I had no idea what it meant, hahahaha) during the holidays, which was bad during the latter years of my marriage, went away for awhile after my divorce, and came back with a vengeance a couple of years later. This year the FOMO is aggravated by feelings of helplessness, futility, resentment, and a major sense of "This is not the way my life was supposed to be!" Some of those feelings will ease up after the holidays are over, but some will not. Ah well. Just keep plugging along, I guess. Sorry for dumping.
🕎🕯️🎄🎅🤶🍾 December Challenge 🍾🤶🎅🎄🕯️🕎
Highest Weight: Somewhere between 227-230... I don't know. I avoided the scale.

Current Weight (December 1, 2021) = 186.0
GOALS:
😅 - Exercise at least 20 minutes per day
📔 - Track everything I eat/drink
🥅 - Stay within my calorie goal (according to MFP 1247/day)
🏃🏻♀️ - Walk any distance
🚴🏻♀️ - Get more bike time in
📚☕ - Make sure I get some "me time" each day
⚖️ - Lose 3-5 pounds and keep it off instead of bouncing around like a pogo stick
🥤 - Up my water consumption (H2O)/lower soda consumption (Diet Dr. Pepper)
Weight change since beginning of challenge: 0.0

Sei, you are among friends…. And this is the perfect place to vent!! 🥰. The holidays are so full of crazy expectations of perfection and over abundance of everything delicious. I am barely hanging on to the wagon myself. This is our safe and truthful place. Weight loss is like a rollercoaster. Sometimes you’ve got to get to the top of the hill before the free fall.
I’m here for you!
Jill 🥰1
