yesterday I accidentally hiked a lot longer than I meant to, and I *enjoyed* it. Didn't start internally whining I was going to die until I was back on the road walking uphill back to my car that was much farther from the trailhead than I thought. (I think someone moved it about twenty miles farther away while I was hiking.)27

I haven't binged in 37 days! I've had a few over my budget days but I wouldn't call them binges so I'm really proud of myself!29

In early May when I was cleaning out my closet I came across 2 pairs of size 16 Levis from 10 years ago that I had grown out of but saved for whatever reason. I tried them on at the time and they were still much too tight so I stuck them back in a drawer thinking that I might be able to wear them this fall.
It was way too hot over the summer to even think of wearing jeans so I forgot about them until Monday, when we were going to a Labor Day cookout and it was cold and rainy. I pulled them out thinking I might be able to wear a pair..... they were too big on me!33 -

I was recently CRAVING a fresh banana shake--it's been years since I've had one. I looked up the calories and saw that I had room in my budget for half the calories. I bought the shake, immediately poured out half, and enjoyed the other half.13 -

I love this!! I have started doing this kind of thing when I’m really craving something. Recently we had a work meeting where someone brought in Crumbl cookies. (IYKYK!) They had the chocolate mint brownie one which is essentially the most perfect dessert on the planet, and after the meeting no one else would take it. So I took it home, cut it into quarters, and put it in the freezer. Now and then when I’m craving it, I eat a quarter which is 190 kcal. Hits the spot every time.16 -
I have lost 18 pounds since mid-May. Yesterday for the first time in years, I wore a pair of pants in a non-plus size.37

Every morning after breakfast, the High Anxiety Dog and I walk to the (town) Square in hopes of spotting squirrels and giving chase. There haven’t been many lately because of a large hawk living on the courthouse, so any sighting is cause for wild doggy celebration.
This morning we saw three. O, Happy Day!!!!!
We chased them (meaning HAD ran wildly, dragging me with him) all over the Square until they were treed and chattering angrily at us.
My NSV is that I realized, instead of being winded and gasping for air after reckless sprinting, I was pumped for more! 😂

Three months ago I had a Dr appt and was faced with the facts that I was fat AND it was starting to affect my health. Some of my lab results were not good. I took it seriously and I made lifestyle changes. I dropped 20 lbs during that time and I am SO happy to announce that ALL of my labs were in the desired range at my follow up appointment yesterday. The nurse asked me how I did it 😀. I still have work ahead of me but the fact that I have improved my health is a BIG victory for me.36

This gives me hope. I have labs in a month. I have lost 34 pounds in the last 6 months since my last labs. I am hoping that weight puts everything into good range again. I am so anxious to see these results. But, in the mean time, I can do a bit more work. I still have 20 pounds to go. I can't knock that out in a month but I can make a dent.
On another note, I have been wearing the same skirt most days now because most of my pants and shorts are too much of a pain to wear because doing farm chores while trying to hold your pants up isn't easy. I am a women who used to never wear dresses or skirts. I had decided that once my weight was gone, I am going to get all dresses and skirts. Having not been in one for so long, wearing it at first was really really weird. Now, I just don't even know why I never wore them...they are so freaking comfortable! Anyway, I need more skirts and dresses. Just waiting on fundage right now and a few more pounds to drop so I don't have to buy more later. Until then, I'll just do laundry, a lot 😆14
