Celebrated DGS 16th birthday yesterday and ended up about 246 calories over. I feel some of this is also from the outing the day before catching up to me. I mean, I was careful but it WAS Golden Corral. Today is travel back to the hospital. Nervous about the testing and missing my coffee already. Afterward, Shopping and restaurant lunch with my friend who is going with me later. I will keep my eye on the ball and watch what I order.

@deepwoodslady
I am pretty sure that you will get your results today from the tests and the heart monitor.
Hoping for the best news.2 -
I am Dawn. 61yrs old, 5'2"
Ideal healthy body weight for my stats is 112. Many rounds away from that, and quite honestly I would be happy to get to 118 some day.
I would really like to lose 7 pounds this round.
I lost 1.8 pounds the last 100, which was a departure from gaining in the last 4 of them.
1st Week Goal Weight: 135.0
1st Week Actual Weight: 138.8
Excess calories burned (in the green): Shorter week, 1874, which only averages to 372.8 per day, less than usual
2nd Week Goal Weight: 135.0 - seems ambitious.
2nd Week Actual Weight: No idea, wonky scale on holiday with me read 48 pounds
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5167 - very happy with that.
3rd Week Goal Weight: N/A
3rd Week Actual Weight: 138.3 - had Ribs this week
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3976. Even after having a RED from Ribs, I still averaged 568 per day overall.
4th Week Goal Weight: 136.1
4th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3568 - Not as much as usual, and it is reflected in my weight.
5th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
5th Week Actual Weight: 139.4 - lunch out contributed to this gain.
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4477 - 639.5 daily average
6th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5751 - That averaged out to 821.5 per day - a few very heavy calorie burn days toiling in the yard.
7th week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
7th week actual Weight: 137.3 - Restaurant food behind me now, time to drop some lbs
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4247 - averaging out to 606.7 each day. Always happy to have 500+ in the Green overall
Day 48: Sun, 6/26: DNW - I awoke so very early. I thought that I would go back to bed, but didn't. Water, coffee, too late to weigh now.
Day 49: Mon, 6/27: 140.1 - Yikes! I burned more calories than I took in yesterday, so this is a weird weigh. Hoping that it is just an anomaly. I spent two really long days working on my yard, which I can't do on work days. I can sure feel my muscles from all of that digging, reaching, squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling. It was so great : - )
Day 50: Tues, 6/28: Halfway through the 100 - 140.5 - Very very unhappy with this number. I don't get it.
Day 51: Wed, 6/29: 139.3 - I somehow need to get 10 pounds off. I feel like I can't cut back much more than I have, but I was just about there this time last year with the same eating. I will stay the course.

🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)

🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 1: Tues, 5/10: 216.5 No exercise. 1532 cal (-180 red), 66 net carbs, 1.5 glass wine. DH & I tested positive on Tuesday 5/3 for COVID19. We quarantined per CDC for 5 days. I was asymptomatic except for a headache the first day and then tested negative for Covid on Monday 5/9 so I’ve been cleared. DH still has flu like symptoms and tested positive on Mon. We are using the CUE system which is a PCR like test that DH’s company provided employees.
Day 2: Wed, 5/11: 216.4 Short walk .6 miles. 1725 cal (-346 red), 45 net carbs, 2 glass wine.
Day 3: Thurs, 5/12: 216.4 No exercise. Played with my 4 month old granddaughter instead 1631 cal (-330 red), 107 net carbs, 2 glass wine. Lunch at Mexican restaurant with DIL where we split fajitas making salads and neither of us at the rice, beans or tortillas. But of course we ate chips! Happy that the scale did not blow up on that minor splurge.
Day 4: Fri, 5/13: 218.4 Cancelled our trip. DH still has congestion and fatigue from his bout of COVID. My students from ESL class gave me a dozen beautiful roses No exercise. 1839 cal ( -507), 126 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Blew my focus on healthy eating … sabotaging myself with fried okra & cornbread for lunch and pizza at dinner! What am I thinking!
Day 5: Sat, 5/14: 217.3 Walk 3.2 miles. Why can’t I get back into the groove. I know my knee hurts but that is not excuse for skipping my strength class! 1562 cal (-73 green), 93 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not bad given that DH & I picked up lunch and took it over to our daughter today to check on her … she had the pregnancy blues. Made up for it with salmon with spinach & white beans easy light dinner.

Did okay until DH asked for me to cook a dessert and I made something I liked too. Sent home most of the cupcakes with my kids after dinner. Thought about not completing my journal but then I didn’t want to get into bad habits so reporting in the mess of a day!

Success with picking back up on my Strong & Fit classes again but my walking is still a struggle in the heat. My knee feels a little better and I think the lunges and squats are helping. However, I blew off journaling every bite because I was eating everything. That has to stop! Starting to journal again this morning.

Day 13: Sun, 5/22: 218.4 Walked 2.6 to drop off library book instead of taking the car. 2041 cal (-397 red), 146 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Spent most of the day practicing both sketching and spanish.
Day 14: Mon, 5/23: 219.5 Walk 1.25 miles. 1701 cal (-227 red), 132 net carbs, AF. Pancakes for breakfast and hamburger w/ tater tots for dinner blew up my carb count for the day.

Day 16: Wed, 5/25: 218.3 Strength training class 1 hr, 2534 cal (-1010 red), 256 net carbs, 3 glasses of wine but the real indulgence was the 5 homemade pumpkin cookies!

Day 20: Sun, 5/29: DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 with my sister cleaning out mom’s house since she has an offer … mom will move into my smaller house next door if the sell goes through. Tons of stuff there as she loved shopping garage sales and it was my grandfathers before. The house has been in the family since 1954 and it grew organically with many additions and remodels over the years.
Managing my mother’s expectations and the entire situation has been really challenging and I’ve totally derailed on my weight loss journey losing all focus on myself.

Day 29: Tues, 6/7: DNW
Day 30: Wed, 6/8: 219.8 Walked .6 miles, Strength Training 1 hr. Heading in the wrong direction while eating cookies, Cheetos, and cornbread. Really need to clean up my eating habits and clear my mind of the junk that has me turning to comfort food. TODAY is a good day to start!
Day 31: Thurs, 6/9: 219.0 Walked .8 miles. My normal 3 mile walk was cut short by a call from my sister. She had an allergic reaction to the dye in her annual CT scan. So I turned around hurried home and picked her up. She came to my house to rest in bed till noon then felt better but still had a headache. She is the only one of our family that still has the symptoms (fatigue, drainage down the throat, etc) from Covid well over a month ago. She is also the one in the poorest health having had stage 4 breast cancer 15 years ago. She is fine but went to bed still with the headache last night.
Then after lunch my 37 weeks pregnant daughter calls. She lost her mucus plug with lots of blood, scared her, went home from work and called the doctor. So she too was resting with her feet up.
DH & I babysat my granddaughter at their house while the parents had a movie & sushi date night
More calls and setting up viewings of my mom’s home.
Overall I’m not sure where the day went but I accomplished nothing on my todo list! I also didn’t snack!

Day 33: Sat, 6/11: 219.0 No Exercise. Busy day but lazy and did not join my Strength Training class.

Day 34: Sun, 6/12: 220.1 Walked 4 miles. Wrong direction! Do NOT like seeing that number. When am I going to start focusing on me? Problem last few nights … Asleep before 10pm but I’m up and totally awake around 3-4 which is not healthy for me. So many things running through my mind that I have no control over … selling my mom’s house, my daughter is due any day, caring for my son’s dogs this weekend. At least I did get out and walk the dogs! Caught up the laundry, grocery shopped, menu planned. Today I’ll focus on me myself and I.
Day 35: Mon, 6/13: 219.0 Walked 3 miles. Much of what I did today was again for the sell of my mom’s home following up with the buyer and their questions after the inspection on Friday. BUT I did walk, wash my hair, file my nails, color a mosaic mandala, read and cooked 3 new meals (breakfast lunch & dinner). Baby steps focusing on me.
Day 36: Tues, 6/14: 219.2 Walked 3.2 miles. WAY TOO MUCH snacking through stress today. Attended morning spanish class, afternoon sketching class (I’m definitely the amateur!), evening spanish assessment for another M & W evening class with DH, many calls and scheduling for my mom’s house, lots of interruptions while in classes.
ALSO my daughter started having minor contractions but no baby movement … they went to the hospital to make sure the baby was okay and were sent home to continue the early labor after finding the baby’s strong heartbeat and the monitor recognizing more contractions that my daughter was feeling. She thought they were 10 min apart but they were 6 min apart, 2cc dilated, 80% effaced. Exciting that their baby due July 1 with a scheduled inducement for June 23 will likely be earlier than expected. Good news because they are having what the doctor predicts as a big baby.
Day 37: Wed, 6/15: 220.4 Strength Training Class 1 hr. I’m on watch for grand baby #2! DD has had what the hospital Monday evening called labor contractions (not Braxton Hicks) regularly about 6 min apart but not long enough or strong enough to keep her there. So yesterday she decided not to go into work and joined me in visiting my granddaughter and DIL. We helped out since my son is out of town this week working. My DIL asked if I could babysit so she could go grocery shopping and prep cook for her sister’s bachelorette party this weekend. It was a fun day. Did not stay into the evening like I originally planned since DD wanted to go home and rest. But all in all I ended up with 2 restaurant meals and snacks and the scale shows that I’m not on point and focused.
Day 38: Thurs, 6/16: 220.4 Walked 3 miles.

Day 41: Sun, 6/19: 219.2 Walked 1.5 miles but my son’s dog laid down at least 2x because he is not use to walking. 6mo old very large Doberman. DH did the normal 3 mile walk with our dog.
Day 42: Mon, 6/20: 219.7 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog … this is very challenging. In addition, he is pulling up my plants in the back yard!!! Looks like my son will not be out of the hospital until mid week and has follow up with surgeon on Friday. Hopefully he is able to fly home this weekend and then we’ll need to return his dog to Austin.
Day 43: Tues, 6/21: 219.6 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog. Skipped all my daytime Monday leisure classes and book club that evening so that I could concentrate on the sell of mom's house. Also cancelled my plans to study Spanish on Mon & Wed evenings this summer. I had taken too much on with the new grandbaby, DH's retirement, Mom's sell of her home and her moving into my camp house. Renegotiated on the owner financing once again. Basically changed Mom's address online for everything except doctors and pharmacy which she will handle! Rural area and since I didn't have a mailbox for the camp house ... got that too taken care of.

Ordered internet for the camp house to separate it from mom's. Renegotiated mowing contract to break it away from mowing the larger house's 2 lots and just mow my 1 lot. Transferred trash service to the camp house, too. Got the updated contracts and they are now executed!
Day 45: Thurs, 6/23: 219.1 No exercise. A little less stressful. When on the phone with DD … DH came in with a can of pumpkin wanting me to bake pumpkin cookies. Of course this was just the distraction I needed! Not the calories LOL Mom is having a moving sale and I'm not sure what all she is getting rid of or keeping. She is being unreasonable about a number of things but then I can't be down there since I need to be here to help my daughter. My sister is heading down to help mom and plans to stay through the closing. Oh and I designed a budget and plan for setting up new Fidelity account for mom so that we could ensure she doesn't burn through the monthly income from the owner financing since she never saves and this was to be her savings for moving to Houston and getting an apartment or assisted living in a few years. Made sure she has more income now than earlier for monthly use so she can travel with a friend.
Day 46: Fri, 6/24: 221.1 We have a beautiful little granddaughter! Margot 7l bs 15 oz 20.75 inches.
Day 47: Sat, 6/25: 220.7 Walked 1 mile. DD had to stay in the hospital an extra day but baby and mom are doing well.

Day 48: Sun, 6/26: DNW Walked 1 mile. Unusual schedule since I stayed with my daughter & her husband when she and the baby came home. Almost everything else went on hold.
Day 49: Mon, 6/27: DNW My daughter is doing really well with her new baby. DH picked up our son and wife at the Austin airport and took their dog home. Whew that was a bundle of energy.
Day 50: Tues, 6/28: DNW Skipped all my leisure classes and focused on my new granddaughter.
Day 51: Wed, 6/29: 221 Stressful day … selling boat on consignment, reading contracts for mom’s sell by owner with owner financing, issues with setting up internet for our camp house where my mom is moving, etc etc. All I wanted was to be supporting my daughter and holding my granddaughter instead I was on the phone a ton of the time.
Day 52: Thurs, 6/30: 221.5 Continued getting corrections on the contracts for the sell of mom’s house. Confirmed the buyer transferred the funds and got insurance before the closing. Also disconnected internet at the old house now that we have it working at the little house. I did though catch up with a friend shooting sporting clays for a couple of hours! Also DH and I got our medical insurance straight since we’ll no longer be covered by his old company starting July 1.

Hi everyone,
I'm joining in late. I started this diet and myfitnesspal on May 31st. I do track my weight everyday. I find that it works for me mainly because it avoids making a weekly weigh in so impactful and therefore stressful. I am trying to lose 33.6 pounds in total. At my height the extra 33 pounds was making me borderline obese going by a BMI of 29.5.
Hoping to do 1.5 pounds a week for now and then taper off to 1 pound and finally half a pound.
Looking forward to taking part and seeing how everyone is doing.

Day 51…..06/29…..201.0…..(Trend weight 202.8) I’m not too surprised to see the jump up even though it is always disappointing. Celebrated DGS 16th birthday yesterday and ended up about 246 calories over. I feel some of this is also from the outing the day before catching up to me. I mean, I was careful but it WAS Golden Corral. Today is travel back to the hospital. Nervous about the testing and missing my coffee already. Afterward, Shopping and restaurant lunch with my friend who is going with me later. I will keep my eye on the ball and watch what I order.
Day 52…..06/30…..DNW…..(Trend weight DNW) After 3 days of travel sitting, a 4 hour (mostly sitting) testing window and restaurants, I did not want to see the temporary rise again, so I will weigh tomorrow and take the punches then. Hopefully it will not be too inflated by then. Heart monitor is off. Nuclear rest test and stress test completed. Now I wait for a call from the doctor for results, then an appt on July 12 for a treatment plan.

Total Weight Loss for Challenge3 -
I am Dawn. 61yrs old, 5'2"
Ideal healthy body weight for my stats is 112. Many rounds away from that, and quite honestly I would be happy to get to 118 some day.
I would really like to lose 7 pounds this round.
I lost 1.8 pounds the last 100, which was a departure from gaining in the last 4 of them.
1st Week Goal Weight: 135.0
1st Week Actual Weight: 138.8
Excess calories burned (in the green): Shorter week, 1874, which only averages to 372.8 per day, less than usual
2nd Week Goal Weight: 135.0 - seems ambitious.
2nd Week Actual Weight: No idea, wonky scale on holiday with me read 48 pounds
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5167 - very happy with that.
3rd Week Goal Weight: N/A
3rd Week Actual Weight: 138.3 - had Ribs this week
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3976. Even after having a RED from Ribs, I still averaged 568 per day overall.
4th Week Goal Weight: 136.1
4th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3568 - Not as much as usual, and it is reflected in my weight.
5th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
5th Week Actual Weight: 139.4 - lunch out contributed to this gain.
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4477 - 639.5 daily average
6th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5751 - That averaged out to 821.5 per day - a few very heavy calorie burn days toiling in the yard.
7th week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
7th week actual Weight: 137.3 - Restaurant food behind me now, time to drop some lbs
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4247 - averaging out to 606.7 each day. Always happy to have 500+ in the Green overall
Day 48: Sun, 6/26: DNW - I awoke so very early. I thought that I would go back to bed, but didn't. Water, coffee, too late to weigh now.
Day 49: Mon, 6/27: 140.1 - Yikes! I burned more calories than I took in yesterday, so this is a weird weigh. Hoping that it is just an anomaly. I spent two really long days working on my yard, which I can't do on work days. I can sure feel my muscles from all of that digging, reaching, squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling. It was so great : - )
Day 50: Tues, 6/28: Halfway through the 100 - 140.5 - Very very unhappy with this number. I don't get it.
Day 51: Wed, 6/29: 139.3 - I somehow need to get 10 pounds off. I feel like I can't cut back much more than I have, but I was just about there this time last year with the same eating. I will stay the course.
Day 52: Thurs, 6/30: 138.2 - Someone on another thread suggested that the big gain was from working in the sun all day for 2 days...and I am buying into that.

Love the smile on the donkey on the ground : - )
"Don't give up" made me think of the Kate Bush/Peter Gabriel song. It is an earworm now lol.
I started a bit of duolingo, El Hombre, La nina and un nino. So...the and a. I did take Latin in high school a gazillion years ago, took 2 years of Italian in University, and kind of speak French, so I am seeing some similarities with Spanish. Like I mentioned before, at least I know the work bano.
You have sooo much going on. Hopefully that changes to a dull roar soon.
@deepwoodslady
What is the news from your tests?1 -

@dawnbgethealthy - When I was in Barcelona trying to find the bano it turns out that was a more "mexican" usage than "spanish - Spain" usage. Finally discovered in Spain they called them "toilet"! So when in Rome make sure to find out the word used locally!
The video from Rick Stevens that is an hour was really a great quick way to pick up many of the words!
Enjoy your trip!
Looking forward to the dull roar. Found out today that the closing will not be finalized until Tuesday after the 4th of July holiday ... even though closing started 6/28, mom signed today, buyer signs tomorrow. Things are dragging!2 -

🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 1: Tues, 5/10: 216.5 No exercise. 1532 cal (-180 red), 66 net carbs, 1.5 glass wine. DH & I tested positive on Tuesday 5/3 for COVID19. We quarantined per CDC for 5 days. I was asymptomatic except for a headache the first day and then tested negative for Covid on Monday 5/9 so I’ve been cleared. DH still has flu like symptoms and tested positive on Mon. We are using the CUE system which is a PCR like test that DH’s company provided employees.
Day 2: Wed, 5/11: 216.4 Short walk .6 miles. 1725 cal (-346 red), 45 net carbs, 2 glass wine.
Day 3: Thurs, 5/12: 216.4 No exercise. Played with my 4 month old granddaughter instead 1631 cal (-330 red), 107 net carbs, 2 glass wine. Lunch at Mexican restaurant with DIL where we split fajitas making salads and neither of us at the rice, beans or tortillas. But of course we ate chips! Happy that the scale did not blow up on that minor splurge.
Day 4: Fri, 5/13: 218.4 Cancelled our trip. DH still has congestion and fatigue from his bout of COVID. My students from ESL class gave me a dozen beautiful roses No exercise. 1839 cal ( -507), 126 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Blew my focus on healthy eating … sabotaging myself with fried okra & cornbread for lunch and pizza at dinner! What am I thinking!
Day 5: Sat, 5/14: 217.3 Walk 3.2 miles. Why can’t I get back into the groove. I know my knee hurts but that is not excuse for skipping my strength class! 1562 cal (-73 green), 93 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not bad given that DH & I picked up lunch and took it over to our daughter today to check on her … she had the pregnancy blues. Made up for it with salmon with spinach & white beans easy light dinner.

Did okay until DH asked for me to cook a dessert and I made something I liked too. Sent home most of the cupcakes with my kids after dinner. Thought about not completing my journal but then I didn’t want to get into bad habits so reporting in the mess of a day!

Success with picking back up on my Strong & Fit classes again but my walking is still a struggle in the heat. My knee feels a little better and I think the lunges and squats are helping. However, I blew off journaling every bite because I was eating everything. That has to stop! Starting to journal again this morning.

Day 13: Sun, 5/22: 218.4 Walked 2.6 to drop off library book instead of taking the car. 2041 cal (-397 red), 146 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Spent most of the day practicing both sketching and spanish.
Day 14: Mon, 5/23: 219.5 Walk 1.25 miles. 1701 cal (-227 red), 132 net carbs, AF. Pancakes for breakfast and hamburger w/ tater tots for dinner blew up my carb count for the day.

Day 20: Sun, 5/29: DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 with my sister cleaning out mom’s house since she has an offer … mom will move into my smaller house next door if the sell goes through. Tons of stuff there as she loved shopping garage sales and it was my grandfathers before. The house has been in the family since 1954 and it grew organically with many additions and remodels over the years.
Managing my mother’s expectations and the entire situation has been really challenging and I’ve totally derailed on my weight loss journey losing all focus on myself.

Day 30: Wed, 6/8: 219.8 Walked .6 miles, Strength Training 1 hr. Heading in the wrong direction while eating cookies, Cheetos, and cornbread. Really need to clean up my eating habits and clear my mind of the junk that has me turning to comfort food. TODAY is a good day to start!
Day 31: Thurs, 6/9: 219.0 Walked .8 miles. My normal 3 mile walk was cut short by a call from my sister. She had an allergic reaction to the dye in her annual CT scan. So I turned around hurried home and picked her up. She came to my house to rest in bed till noon then felt better but still had a headache. She is the only one of our family that still has the symptoms (fatigue, drainage down the throat, etc) from Covid well over a month ago. She is also the one in the poorest health having had stage 4 breast cancer 15 years ago. She is fine but went to bed still with the headache last night.
Then after lunch my 37 weeks pregnant daughter calls. She lost her mucus plug with lots of blood, scared her, went home from work and called the doctor. So she too was resting with her feet up.
DH & I babysat my granddaughter at their house while the parents had a movie & sushi date night
More calls and setting up viewings of my mom’s home.
Overall I’m not sure where the day went but I accomplished nothing on my todo list! I also didn’t snack!

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 34: Sun, 6/12: 220.1 Walked 4 miles. Wrong direction! Do NOT like seeing that number. When am I going to start focusing on me? Problem last few nights … Asleep before 10pm but I’m up and totally awake around 3-4 which is not healthy for me. So many things running through my mind that I have no control over … selling my mom’s house, my daughter is due any day, caring for my son’s dogs this weekend. At least I did get out and walk the dogs! Caught up the laundry, grocery shopped, menu planned. Today I’ll focus on me myself and I.
Day 35: Mon, 6/13: 219.0 Walked 3 miles. Much of what I did today was again for the sell of my mom’s home following up with the buyer and their questions after the inspection on Friday. BUT I did walk, wash my hair, file my nails, color a mosaic mandala, read and cooked 3 new meals (breakfast lunch & dinner). Baby steps focusing on me.
Day 36: Tues, 6/14: 219.2 Walked 3.2 miles. WAY TOO MUCH snacking through stress today. Attended morning spanish class, afternoon sketching class (I’m definitely the amateur!), evening spanish assessment for another M & W evening class with DH, many calls and scheduling for my mom’s house, lots of interruptions while in classes.
ALSO my daughter started having minor contractions but no baby movement … they went to the hospital to make sure the baby was okay and were sent home to continue the early labor after finding the baby’s strong heartbeat and the monitor recognizing more contractions that my daughter was feeling. She thought they were 10 min apart but they were 6 min apart, 2cc dilated, 80% effaced. Exciting that their baby due July 1 with a scheduled inducement for June 23 will likely be earlier than expected. Good news because they are having what the doctor predicts as a big baby.
Day 37: Wed, 6/15: 220.4 Strength Training Class 1 hr. I’m on watch for grand baby #2! DD has had what the hospital Monday evening called labor contractions (not Braxton Hicks) regularly about 6 min apart but not long enough or strong enough to keep her there. So yesterday she decided not to go into work and joined me in visiting my granddaughter and DIL. We helped out since my son is out of town this week working. My DIL asked if I could babysit so she could go grocery shopping and prep cook for her sister’s bachelorette party this weekend. It was a fun day. Did not stay into the evening like I originally planned since DD wanted to go home and rest. But all in all I ended up with 2 restaurant meals and snacks and the scale shows that I’m not on point and focused.
Day 38: Thurs, 6/16: 220.4 Walked 3 miles.

Day 41: Sun, 6/19: 219.2 Walked 1.5 miles but my son’s dog laid down at least 2x because he is not use to walking. 6mo old very large Doberman. DH did the normal 3 mile walk with our dog.
Day 42: Mon, 6/20: 219.7 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog … this is very challenging. In addition, he is pulling up my plants in the back yard!!! Looks like my son will not be out of the hospital until mid week and has follow up with surgeon on Friday. Hopefully he is able to fly home this weekend and then we’ll need to return his dog to Austin.
Day 43: Tues, 6/21: 219.6 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog. Skipped all my daytime Monday leisure classes and book club that evening so that I could concentrate on the sell of mom's house. Also cancelled my plans to study Spanish on Mon & Wed evenings this summer. I had taken too much on with the new grandbaby, DH's retirement, Mom's sell of her home and her moving into my camp house. Renegotiated on the owner financing once again. Basically changed Mom's address online for everything except doctors and pharmacy which she will handle! Rural area and since I didn't have a mailbox for the camp house ... got that too taken care of.

Ordered internet for the camp house to separate it from mom's. Renegotiated mowing contract to break it away from mowing the larger house's 2 lots and just mow my 1 lot. Transferred trash service to the camp house, too. Got the updated contracts and they are now executed!
Day 45: Thurs, 6/23: 219.1 No exercise. A little less stressful. When on the phone with DD … DH came in with a can of pumpkin wanting me to bake pumpkin cookies. Of course this was just the distraction I needed! Not the calories LOL Mom is having a moving sale and I'm not sure what all she is getting rid of or keeping. She is being unreasonable about a number of things but then I can't be down there since I need to be here to help my daughter. My sister is heading down to help mom and plans to stay through the closing. Oh and I designed a budget and plan for setting up new Fidelity account for mom so that we could ensure she doesn't burn through the monthly income from the owner financing since she never saves and this was to be her savings for moving to Houston and getting an apartment or assisted living in a few years. Made sure she has more income now than earlier for monthly use so she can travel with a friend.
Day 46: Fri, 6/24: 221.1 We have a beautiful little granddaughter! Margot 7l bs 15 oz 20.75 inches.
Day 47: Sat, 6/25: 220.7 Walked 1 mile. DD had to stay in the hospital an extra day but baby and mom are doing well.

Day 48: Sun, 6/26: DNW Walked 1 mile. Unusual schedule since I stayed with my daughter & her husband when she and the baby came home. Almost everything else went on hold.
Day 49: Mon, 6/27: DNW My daughter is doing really well with her new baby. DH picked up our son and wife at the Austin airport and took their dog home. Whew that was a bundle of energy.
Day 50: Tues, 6/28: DNW Skipped all my leisure classes and focused on my new granddaughter.
Day 51: Wed, 6/29: 221 Stressful day … selling boat on consignment, reading contracts for mom’s sell by owner with owner financing, issues with setting up internet for our camp house where my mom is moving, etc etc. All I wanted was to be supporting my daughter and holding my granddaughter instead I was on the phone a ton of the time.
Day 52: Thurs, 6/30: 221.5 Continued getting corrections on the contracts for the sell of mom’s house. Confirmed the buyer transferred the funds and got insurance before the closing. Also disconnected internet at the old house now that we have it working at the little house. I did though catch up with a friend shooting sporting clays for a couple of hours! Also DH and I got our medical insurance straight since we’ll no longer be covered by his old company starting July 1.
Day 53: Fri, 7/1: 220.9 Walked 3+ miles. Completed mom’s closing but the wire transfer will not happen until Tuesday due to the title company closing for a 4 day weekend. Felt like I accomplished nothing except grocery shopping and investigating medical insurance plans. Need to find a new focus … oh yeah right … it should be me!

8th Week Actual Weight:3 -
Super happy with today's weigh in! I hit 8 total pounds down which is a milestone loss of 5% of my starting body weight.
Part of my motivation is the need to put on shorts. Here in Toronto it doesn't get truly hot until July. I bought new shorts that are a little larger than most that I own and can't wear. However they are still sized for someone about 3 pounds lower than my current weight. Maybe by next week I can make them work.I'm joining in late. I started this diet and myfitnesspal on May 31st. I do track my weight everyday. I find that it works for me mainly because it avoids making a weekly weigh in so impactful and therefore stressful. I am trying to lose 33.6 pounds in total. At my height the extra 33 pounds was making me borderline obese going by a BMI of 29.5.
Hoping to do 1.5 pounds a week for now and then taper off to 1 pound and finally half a pound.

Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 2.0 lbs. LOST. Hip Hip Horray!!!!!
Day 51…..06/29…..201.0…..(Trend weight 202.8) I’m not too surprised to see the jump up even though it is always disappointing. Celebrated DGS 16th birthday yesterday and ended up about 246 calories over. I feel some of this is also from the outing the day before catching up to me. I mean, I was careful but it WAS Golden Corral. Today is travel back to the hospital. Nervous about the testing and missing my coffee already. Afterward, Shopping and restaurant lunch with my friend who is going with me later. I will keep my eye on the ball and watch what I order.
Day 52…..06/30…..DNW…..(Trend weight DNW) After 3 days of travel sitting, a 4 hour (mostly sitting) testing window and restaurants, I did not want to see the temporary rise again, so I will weigh tomorrow and take the punches then. Hopefully it will not be too inflated by then. Heart monitor is off. Nuclear rest test and stress test completed. Now I wait for a call from the doctor for immediate results, then an appt on July 12 for a treatment plan.
Day 53…..07/01…..202.8…..(Trend weight 203.0) It was a very emotionally disturbing day yesterday with my daughter. I definitely am out of whack today. No TMI, no sleep last night, and extra comfort food very late, right before bed. I feel like death warmed over today. I hope I can just relax later. Today is my son’s birthday who lives with me. I will take him on an outing on another day when I can feel better.

Oh wow, you are in Toronto! That is where I am from : - )
I now live in SE BC, and haven't been back to Toronto to see family and friends since before the pandemic.
I am sure that lots of great stuff will be happening today in Toronto for Canada Day. Ah, I miss Carnivale too!

@Lilylady3k
Heehee about toilet instead of bano : - )
I will be going to South Western Mexico, so I hope that I am on the right track with duolingo which you sent me the link to. Thank you again!
I have bookmarked the Rick Steves that you suggested. I have watched so many of his shows over the years and I really enjoy him. When I get a spare hour I will go through it. In the meantime, duolingo lets you set a goal of 5 or 10 minutes per day, bite sized.
French is the same with the varieties of dialect. Even within Quebec the French is quite different as one travels around. Accents and local lingo/slang. Big cities generally have a more homogeneous dialect in whatever language. So I get that what is said in Barcelona might be quite different from small farming towns in Spain. Mexico is likely the same. It is a small fishing village where I will be going in September. It is on the water, and a 5 minute walk to the market which I expect to go to daily : - ) Too bad that I don't like fish at all, because the fresh catch will be readily available. Let me see if I can find a photo of where I will be staying....
This is a stock photo:
I have a chance to change my room until the beginning of September. As of now I have a room overlooking Centro (so that it will be shaded in the afternoons). There is more outdoor space than indoor, the whole kitchen is outside. There are lots of spots on the property to see the sunset, including the pool deck and the beach.
This is what many of the outdoor spaces look like at Bungalows Madera:
I guess I am excited : - )

I am Dawn. 61yrs old, 5'2"
Ideal healthy body weight for my stats is 112. Many rounds away from that, and quite honestly I would be happy to get to 118 some day.
I would really like to lose 7 pounds this round.
I lost 1.8 pounds the last 100, which was a departure from gaining in the last 4 of them.
1st Week Goal Weight: 135.0
1st Week Actual Weight: 138.8
Excess calories burned (in the green): Shorter week, 1874, which only averages to 372.8 per day, less than usual
2nd Week Goal Weight: 135.0 - seems ambitious.
2nd Week Actual Weight: No idea, wonky scale on holiday with me read 48 pounds
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5167 - very happy with that.
3rd Week Goal Weight: N/A
3rd Week Actual Weight: 138.3 - had Ribs this week
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3976. Even after having a RED from Ribs, I still averaged 568 per day overall.
4th Week Goal Weight: 136.1
4th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3568 - Not as much as usual, and it is reflected in my weight.
5th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
5th Week Actual Weight: 139.4 - lunch out contributed to this gain.
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4477 - 639.5 daily average
6th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5751 - That averaged out to 821.5 per day - a few very heavy calorie burn days toiling in the yard.
7th week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
7th week actual Weight: 137.3 - Restaurant food behind me now, time to drop some lbs
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4247 - averaging out to 606.7 each day. Always happy to have 500+ in the Green overall
Day 48: Sun, 6/26: DNW - I awoke so very early. I thought that I would go back to bed, but didn't. Water, coffee, too late to weigh now.
Day 49: Mon, 6/27: 140.1 - Yikes! I burned more calories than I took in yesterday, so this is a weird weigh. Hoping that it is just an anomaly. I spent two really long days working on my yard, which I can't do on work days. I can sure feel my muscles from all of that digging, reaching, squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling. It was so great : - )
Day 50: Tues, 6/28: Halfway through the 100 - 140.5 - Very very unhappy with this number. I don't get it.
Day 51: Wed, 6/29: 139.3 - I somehow need to get 10 pounds off. I feel like I can't cut back much more than I have, but I was just about there this time last year with the same eating. I will stay the course.
Day 52: Thurs, 6/30: 138.2 - Someone on another thread suggested that the big gain was from working in the sun all day for 2 days...and I am buying into that.
Day 53: Fri, 7/1: 138.6 - Weighed 2 hours earlier than yesterday. I need to keep that in mind for the future, that some of the fluctuations are due to different weigh-in times. Not planning on being that "good" today for the Canada Day celebrations, but I do intend to keep it at least reasonable.
Day 54: Sat, 7/2:

@dawnbgethealthy - Looks like a wonderful vacation spot! Love the outdoor space.
Right the Rick Stevens video is basically a classroom setting of someone introducing the most common words for travelers which is really cool. Duolingo is great and sticks with you due to the repetition.
Here is another video that I've watched ... more of a crash course LOL.

🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 1: Tues, 5/10: 216.5 No exercise. 1532 cal (-180 red), 66 net carbs, 1.5 glass wine. DH & I tested positive on Tuesday 5/3 for COVID19. We quarantined per CDC for 5 days. I was asymptomatic except for a headache the first day and then tested negative for Covid on Monday 5/9 so I’ve been cleared. DH still has flu like symptoms and tested positive on Mon. We are using the CUE system which is a PCR like test that DH’s company provided employees.
Day 2: Wed, 5/11: 216.4 Short walk .6 miles. 1725 cal (-346 red), 45 net carbs, 2 glass wine.
Day 3: Thurs, 5/12: 216.4 No exercise. Played with my 4 month old granddaughter instead 1631 cal (-330 red), 107 net carbs, 2 glass wine. Lunch at Mexican restaurant with DIL where we split fajitas making salads and neither of us at the rice, beans or tortillas. But of course we ate chips! Happy that the scale did not blow up on that minor splurge.
Day 4: Fri, 5/13: 218.4 Cancelled our trip. DH still has congestion and fatigue from his bout of COVID. My students from ESL class gave me a dozen beautiful roses No exercise. 1839 cal ( -507), 126 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Blew my focus on healthy eating … sabotaging myself with fried okra & cornbread for lunch and pizza at dinner! What am I thinking!
Day 5: Sat, 5/14: 217.3 Walk 3.2 miles. Why can’t I get back into the groove. I know my knee hurts but that is not excuse for skipping my strength class! 1562 cal (-73 green), 93 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not bad given that DH & I picked up lunch and took it over to our daughter today to check on her … she had the pregnancy blues. Made up for it with salmon with spinach & white beans easy light dinner.

Did okay until DH asked for me to cook a dessert and I made something I liked too. Sent home most of the cupcakes with my kids after dinner. Thought about not completing my journal but then I didn’t want to get into bad habits so reporting in the mess of a day!

Success with picking back up on my Strong & Fit classes again but my walking is still a struggle in the heat. My knee feels a little better and I think the lunges and squats are helping. However, I blew off journaling every bite because I was eating everything. That has to stop! Starting to journal again this morning.

Day 13: Sun, 5/22: 218.4 Walked 2.6 to drop off library book instead of taking the car. 2041 cal (-397 red), 146 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Spent most of the day practicing both sketching and spanish.
Day 14: Mon, 5/23: 219.5 Walk 1.25 miles. 1701 cal (-227 red), 132 net carbs, AF. Pancakes for breakfast and hamburger w/ tater tots for dinner blew up my carb count for the day.

Day 16: Wed, 5/25: 218.3 Strength training class 1 hr, 2534 cal (-1010 red), 256 net carbs, 3 glasses of wine but the real indulgence was the 5 homemade pumpkin cookies!

Day 20: Sun, 5/29: DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 with my sister cleaning out mom’s house since she has an offer … mom will move into my smaller house next door if the sell goes through. Tons of stuff there as she loved shopping garage sales and it was my grandfathers before. The house has been in the family since 1954 and it grew organically with many additions and remodels over the years.
Managing my mother’s expectations and the entire situation has been really challenging and I’ve totally derailed on my weight loss journey losing all focus on myself.

Day 30: Wed, 6/8: 219.8 Walked .6 miles, Strength Training 1 hr. Heading in the wrong direction while eating cookies, Cheetos, and cornbread. Really need to clean up my eating habits and clear my mind of the junk that has me turning to comfort food. TODAY is a good day to start!
Day 31: Thurs, 6/9: 219.0 Walked .8 miles. My normal 3 mile walk was cut short by a call from my sister. She had an allergic reaction to the dye in her annual CT scan. So I turned around hurried home and picked her up. She came to my house to rest in bed till noon then felt better but still had a headache. She is the only one of our family that still has the symptoms (fatigue, drainage down the throat, etc) from Covid well over a month ago. She is also the one in the poorest health having had stage 4 breast cancer 15 years ago. She is fine but went to bed still with the headache last night.
Then after lunch my 37 weeks pregnant daughter calls. She lost her mucus plug with lots of blood, scared her, went home from work and called the doctor. So she too was resting with her feet up.
DH & I babysat my granddaughter at their house while the parents had a movie & sushi date night
More calls and setting up viewings of my mom’s home.
Overall I’m not sure where the day went but I accomplished nothing on my todo list! I also didn’t snack!
Day 32: Fri, 6/10: DNW Walked 1 mile, Strength Training 1 hr.
Day 33: Sat, 6/11: 219.0 No Exercise. Busy day but lazy and did not join my Strength Training class.

Day 34: Sun, 6/12: 220.1 Walked 4 miles. Wrong direction! Do NOT like seeing that number. When am I going to start focusing on me? Problem last few nights … Asleep before 10pm but I’m up and totally awake around 3-4 which is not healthy for me. So many things running through my mind that I have no control over … selling my mom’s house, my daughter is due any day, caring for my son’s dogs this weekend. At least I did get out and walk the dogs! Caught up the laundry, grocery shopped, menu planned. Today I’ll focus on me myself and I.
Day 35: Mon, 6/13: 219.0 Walked 3 miles. Much of what I did today was again for the sell of my mom’s home following up with the buyer and their questions after the inspection on Friday. BUT I did walk, wash my hair, file my nails, color a mosaic mandala, read and cooked 3 new meals (breakfast lunch & dinner). Baby steps focusing on me.
Day 36: Tues, 6/14: 219.2 Walked 3.2 miles. WAY TOO MUCH snacking through stress today. Attended morning spanish class, afternoon sketching class (I’m definitely the amateur!), evening spanish assessment for another M & W evening class with DH, many calls and scheduling for my mom’s house, lots of interruptions while in classes.
ALSO my daughter started having minor contractions but no baby movement … they went to the hospital to make sure the baby was okay and were sent home to continue the early labor after finding the baby’s strong heartbeat and the monitor recognizing more contractions that my daughter was feeling. She thought they were 10 min apart but they were 6 min apart, 2cc dilated, 80% effaced. Exciting that their baby due July 1 with a scheduled inducement for June 23 will likely be earlier than expected. Good news because they are having what the doctor predicts as a big baby.
Day 37: Wed, 6/15: 220.4 Strength Training Class 1 hr. I’m on watch for grand baby #2! DD has had what the hospital Monday evening called labor contractions (not Braxton Hicks) regularly about 6 min apart but not long enough or strong enough to keep her there. So yesterday she decided not to go into work and joined me in visiting my granddaughter and DIL. We helped out since my son is out of town this week working. My DIL asked if I could babysit so she could go grocery shopping and prep cook for her sister’s bachelorette party this weekend. It was a fun day. Did not stay into the evening like I originally planned since DD wanted to go home and rest. But all in all I ended up with 2 restaurant meals and snacks and the scale shows that I’m not on point and focused.
Day 38: Thurs, 6/16: 220.4 Walked 3 miles.
Day 39: Fri, 6/17: 220.2 Strength Training 1 hr

Day 41: Sun, 6/19: 219.2 Walked 1.5 miles but my son’s dog laid down at least 2x because he is not use to walking. 6mo old very large Doberman. DH did the normal 3 mile walk with our dog.
Day 42: Mon, 6/20: 219.7 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog … this is very challenging. In addition, he is pulling up my plants in the back yard!!! Looks like my son will not be out of the hospital until mid week and has follow up with surgeon on Friday. Hopefully he is able to fly home this weekend and then we’ll need to return his dog to Austin.
Day 43: Tues, 6/21: 219.6 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog. Skipped all my daytime Monday leisure classes and book club that evening so that I could concentrate on the sell of mom's house. Also cancelled my plans to study Spanish on Mon & Wed evenings this summer. I had taken too much on with the new grandbaby, DH's retirement, Mom's sell of her home and her moving into my camp house. Renegotiated on the owner financing once again. Basically changed Mom's address online for everything except doctors and pharmacy which she will handle! Rural area and since I didn't have a mailbox for the camp house ... got that too taken care of.

Ordered internet for the camp house to separate it from mom's. Renegotiated mowing contract to break it away from mowing the larger house's 2 lots and just mow my 1 lot. Transferred trash service to the camp house, too. Got the updated contracts and they are now executed!
Day 45: Thurs, 6/23: 219.1 No exercise. A little less stressful. When on the phone with DD … DH came in with a can of pumpkin wanting me to bake pumpkin cookies. Of course this was just the distraction I needed! Not the calories LOL Mom is having a moving sale and I'm not sure what all she is getting rid of or keeping. She is being unreasonable about a number of things but then I can't be down there since I need to be here to help my daughter. My sister is heading down to help mom and plans to stay through the closing. Oh and I designed a budget and plan for setting up new Fidelity account for mom so that we could ensure she doesn't burn through the monthly income from the owner financing since she never saves and this was to be her savings for moving to Houston and getting an apartment or assisted living in a few years. Made sure she has more income now than earlier for monthly use so she can travel with a friend.
Day 46: Fri, 6/24: 221.1 We have a beautiful little granddaughter! Margot 7l bs 15 oz 20.75 inches.
Day 47: Sat, 6/25: 220.7 Walked 1 mile. DD had to stay in the hospital an extra day but baby and mom are doing well.

Day 48: Sun, 6/26: DNW Walked 1 mile. Unusual schedule since I stayed with my daughter & her husband when she and the baby came home. Almost everything else went on hold.
Day 49: Mon, 6/27: DNW My daughter is doing really well with her new baby. DH picked up our son and wife at the Austin airport and took their dog home. Whew that was a bundle of energy.
Day 50: Tues, 6/28: DNW Skipped all my leisure classes and focused on my new granddaughter.
Day 51: Wed, 6/29: 221 Stressful day … selling boat on consignment, reading contracts for mom’s sell by owner with owner financing, issues with setting up internet for our camp house where my mom is moving, etc etc. All I wanted was to be supporting my daughter and holding my granddaughter instead I was on the phone a ton of the time.
Day 52: Thurs, 6/30: 221.5 Continued getting corrections on the contracts for the sell of mom’s house. Confirmed the buyer transferred the funds and got insurance before the closing. Also disconnected internet at the old house now that we have it working at the little house. I did though catch up with a friend shooting sporting clays for a couple of hours! Also DH and I got our medical insurance straight since we’ll no longer be covered by his old company starting July 1.
Day 53: Fri, 7/1: 220.9 Walked 3+ miles. Completed mom’s closing but the wire transfer will not happen until Tuesday due to the title company closing for a 4 day weekend. Felt like I accomplished nothing except grocery shopping and investigating medical insurance plans. Need to find a new focus … oh yeah right … it should be me!
Day 54: Sat, 7/2: 220.6 No exercise. The house closed and the wire transfer is pending in mom’s acct. The last time my mom received a large sum from inheritance she blew the whole $300k in less than a year. So with her permission I worked on mom’s financials and set up an investment acct for the house downpayment. This for a woman that didn’t have a savings account for the past 40 years until her husband passed away at the end of 2020 and then I set her up a savings acct with automatic deposits from her checking. Doing the same for the owner financing where the majority of the loan payments will go to her investment account, then some to savings and minor portion to checking.
Afterward I spent the afternoon with my new granddaughter.
Needless to say meals were not great either. Chili & Fritos for lunch then Grimaldi’s pizza and wine for dinner.

Going to try out my new exercise bike today. Got a great deal from Amazon warehouse deals which we got set up yesterday. After setup we had had enough for the day.I'm joining in late. I started this diet and myfitnesspal on May 31st. I do track my weight everyday. I find that it works for me mainly because it avoids making a weekly weigh in so impactful and therefore stressful. I am trying to lose 33.6 pounds in total. At my height the extra 33 pounds was making me borderline obese going by a BMI of 29.5.
Hoping to do 1.5 pounds a week for now and then taper off to 1 pound and finally half a pound.
