    Heaviest weight: 293 (1/28/21)
    Current weight (Jul 1): 163.4

    Daily Focus:
    🌼 stay in maintenance range (160-165)

    July 1 - 163.4 (Happy Canada Day! Work gave us a four day weekend. My husband and I came up to the lake last night. Sun is shining!)
    July 2 - 162 (We got a 60 minute walk in yesterday in the heat and had a few drinks to celebrate Canada Day. Night was cut short as we had a huge thunderstorm and the Internet was so bad inside because everyone was in their trailers so we went to bed early and had a great restorative sleep.)
    July 3 - 165.2 (Up early and back home as we have a 75th birthday brunch to attend. Later today we also have dinner out with friends.)
    July 4 - 164 (Happy 4th of July to all the Americans! Our work gave us a four day weekend for Canada Day so I was still off today. I did two Peloton rides and a 5 mile walk and food stop with my husband and dog... so much fun but I am wiped. Need to do some housework now.)
    July 5 - 164 (Busy work day but I got away at lunch for a walk with my husband. After supper and some TV we went out for another walk with our dog. Lots of steps again today.)
    July 6 - 164.6 (Didn't sleep as long as I wanted. Started with a good filling breakfast. Will get my 10K steps today and hopefully ride the Peloton too.)
    July 7 - 164.4 (Had my long ride on the Peloton last night. Today I hope to get back on the bike but I also need to finish getting my house ready for my company tomorrow.)
    July 8 - 163.4 (Started my day with the Stampede Parade and a breakfast. The sun is shining and our city has come alive. I worked this afternoon and tonight we are laying low because my husband is in a 160 KM Gran Fondo bike race tomorrow that we're up early for.)
    July 9 - 163 (Up early as my husband is in a Gran Fondo bike race today. I am hanging out in beautiful Longview, Alberta waiting for him. Will try to walk and get some steps while I wait.)
    July 10 - 161.2 (Today I want to do two Peloton rides, get a walk in, and then we go out for supper in downtown Calgary with friends.)
    July 11 - 160.8 (Amazing dinner out last night at the top rated new restaurant in Canada according to a recently issued list. I had gotten a lot of of exercise and planned for it so the scale was kind to me this morning. This afternoon I have a party at a corporate tent for Stampede and then we go to the grounds for a concert. Will be a late night and my exercise will all be getting my steps.)
    July 12 - 161.8 (Busy day to navigate yesterday. Worked from the office, went to a tent party for Stampede at 3, and then we went to the grounds for a concert. Didn't get home and in bed until midnight. Had one food choice I made for a cost savings reason than my waistline - you live you learn.)
    July 13 - 161.2 (Kept indulgences to a minimum at my work party yesterday so I was in good shape to come home and ride the Peloton.)
    July 14 - 160.8 (A work lunch, corporate tent, Peloton ride, and long walk with my husband were all highlights of the day.)
    July 15 - 162.8
    July 16 - 166.4 (Didn't get time to check in yesterday.. it was midnight before I got home and I was exhausted. Had my final workday corporate event and then we met up with a friend at the Stampede grounds for two concerts. Another day of over 20,000 steps.)
    July 17 - DNW (I always bring my scale to the lake but I forgot. Yesterday we went for a nice long walk around our park and met my 10,000 step goal.)
    July 18 - 163.8 (Saw Elvis after work tonight. We are off to Ontario tomorrow to visit Brad's family and have a summer break there.)
    July 19 - 165.8 (At the airport for a flight to Toronto today. We are gone until the 31st so unless there's a random scale around, this will be my last weigh-in for the month. I'll still be checking in!)
    July 20 - DNW (Full day at Canada's Wonderland today. I love rides! Love that I can fit in everything no problem now.)

    July 17 - DNW (I always bring my scale to the lake but I forgot. Yesterday we went for a nice long walk around our park and met my 10,000 step goal.)

    July 21 - DNW (Sick again and it's changed our vacation plans a bit. My husband found us a nice comfortable suite style hotel for me to recover at.)
    July 22 - DNW (Feeling pretty good. Had a very restorative sleep. We ordered Skip The Dishes in last night and I definitely overdid it. Got swept up in the moment.)

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 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 July 1st): 202.8
    Goal: 197.8 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    07/20-199.8-(Trend Weight 200.2)-

    07/21-199.0-(Trend Weight 200.1)- Nice drop on the scale. My son and I danced for 23 minutes last night. I also rode on the stationary bike for 16 minutes. My blood pressure is still staying really low after the Covid recovery. I called the cardiologist office yesterday for advice on taking/not taking my meds but no call back. I have not taken them in 2 nights now. Even without the meds the numbers are running around 95/52. Sometimes a bit lower even. My BPM’s remain good at 88-92. I am back to babysitting my DGS on weekends starting in the morning. I can’t wait to see him tonight!

    07/22-198.8-(Trend Weight 200.0)- Scale and trend weight down. More like a dribble than a drop but I’ll take anything in the right direction! Dr. called and pulled me off all BP meds for now. I will monitor twice per day and report to them every other day unless I have reason for alarm. So….. My daughter who lives with me decided she is getting married on Sept. 3rd. I’m talking a big wedding with full length white dress (a bit of purple trim because she has had a child). In this rural area we have NOTHING that will help. It will have to be trips and online shopping. I ordered her the dress last night and his suit online along with some accessories. Of course, there will need to be altering so I opted for expedited shipping. A local seamstress will help. This is a nightmare but I do want it to be perfect for her. Gotta watch what I put on my fork, I’d like to look my best for her pictures!

    07/23-198.8-(Trend Weight 199.9)- I had a houseful yesterday for a meeting of the minds planning my DD’s wedding. I was brought a Chinese dinner and DD brought in cheesecake style cream pies. I ate part of the dinner and will eat the rest today for lunch or dinner. I did eat the pie. I’m grateful for no gain today on the scale. I’ll push water all day because of the Chinese food. It’s a nice treat since we don’t have any Chinese restaurants in the county. But I have to remain mindful! I am still over my start weight this round due to the big overnight Covid drop. I would love to at least match that start weight this round.

    Heaviest weight: 293 (1/28/21)
    Current weight (Jul 1): 163.4

    Daily Focus:
    🌼 stay in maintenance range (160-165)

    July 1 - 163.4 (Happy Canada Day! Work gave us a four day weekend. My husband and I came up to the lake last night. Sun is shining!)
    July 2 - 162 (We got a 60 minute walk in yesterday in the heat and had a few drinks to celebrate Canada Day. Night was cut short as we had a huge thunderstorm and the Internet was so bad inside because everyone was in their trailers so we went to bed early and had a great restorative sleep.)
    July 3 - 165.2 (Up early and back home as we have a 75th birthday brunch to attend. Later today we also have dinner out with friends.)
    July 4 - 164 (Happy 4th of July to all the Americans! Our work gave us a four day weekend for Canada Day so I was still off today. I did two Peloton rides and a 5 mile walk and food stop with my husband and dog... so much fun but I am wiped. Need to do some housework now.)
    July 5 - 164 (Busy work day but I got away at lunch for a walk with my husband. After supper and some TV we went out for another walk with our dog. Lots of steps again today.)
    July 6 - 164.6 (Didn't sleep as long as I wanted. Started with a good filling breakfast. Will get my 10K steps today and hopefully ride the Peloton too.)
    July 7 - 164.4 (Had my long ride on the Peloton last night. Today I hope to get back on the bike but I also need to finish getting my house ready for my company tomorrow.)
    July 8 - 163.4 (Started my day with the Stampede Parade and a breakfast. The sun is shining and our city has come alive. I worked this afternoon and tonight we are laying low because my husband is in a 160 KM Gran Fondo bike race tomorrow that we're up early for.)
    July 9 - 163 (Up early as my husband is in a Gran Fondo bike race today. I am hanging out in beautiful Longview, Alberta waiting for him. Will try to walk and get some steps while I wait.)
    July 10 - 161.2 (Today I want to do two Peloton rides, get a walk in, and then we go out for supper in downtown Calgary with friends.)
    July 11 - 160.8 (Amazing dinner out last night at the top rated new restaurant in Canada according to a recently issued list. I had gotten a lot of of exercise and planned for it so the scale was kind to me this morning. This afternoon I have a party at a corporate tent for Stampede and then we go to the grounds for a concert. Will be a late night and my exercise will all be getting my steps.)
    July 12 - 161.8 (Busy day to navigate yesterday. Worked from the office, went to a tent party for Stampede at 3, and then we went to the grounds for a concert. Didn't get home and in bed until midnight. Had one food choice I made for a cost savings reason than my waistline - you live you learn.)
    July 13 - 161.2 (Kept indulgences to a minimum at my work party yesterday so I was in good shape to come home and ride the Peloton.)
    July 14 - 160.8 (A work lunch, corporate tent, Peloton ride, and long walk with my husband were all highlights of the day.)
    July 15 - 162.8
    July 16 - 166.4 (Didn't get time to check in yesterday.. it was midnight before I got home and I was exhausted. Had my final workday corporate event and then we met up with a friend at the Stampede grounds for two concerts. Another day of over 20,000 steps.)
    July 17 - DNW (I always bring my scale to the lake but I forgot. Yesterday we went for a nice long walk around our park and met my 10,000 step goal.)
    July 18 - 163.8 (Saw Elvis after work tonight. We are off to Ontario tomorrow to visit Brad's family and have a summer break there.)
    July 19 - 165.8 (At the airport for a flight to Toronto today. We are gone until the 31st so unless there's a random scale around, this will be my last weigh-in for the month. I'll still be checking in!)
    July 20 - DNW (Full day at Canada's Wonderland today. I love rides! Love that I can fit in everything no problem now.)
    July 21 - DNW (Sick again and it's changed our vacation plans a bit. My husband found us a nice comfortable suite style hotel for me to recover at.)
    July 22 - DNW (Feeling pretty good. Had a very restorative sleep. We ordered Skip The Dishes in last night and I definitely overdid it. Got swept up in the moment.)
    July 23 - DNW (Gotten in some good naps and rest. Also went for a couple long walks and did over 20,000 steps.)

    Stay under calorie goal 6 out of 7 days per week

    July 1st 210 lbs. Tracked and met calories, no exercise besides a short walk. Traveling to NC to visit inlaws, may not be able to weigh for a few days.
    July 2nd DNW no scale. Ate below calories and walked a lot.
    July 3rd DNW no scale. Ate over calories, but tracked as best I could. Exercised for an hour..
    July 4th DNW DNT. Traveling finally caught up with me. I let myself get overly hungry and ended up binging on snacks. Back at it today, starting with a long walk. Happy 4th.
    July 5th DNW Hit calorie goal, lots of walking
    July 6th 209 lbs. Tracked and met calories, strength workout - back from NC with more predictable food choices.
