    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 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

    8th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
    8th Week Actual Weight: 136.2 - This in a week where I topped out at 140.1
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 5091 which works out to a good average for me. A few very heavy calorie burn days working in my yard. 5091/7 = 727.3

    9th Week Goal Weight: 135 until I hit it
    9th Week Actual Weight: 137.7 - started the week with a 2 pound gain overnight, 138.4
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 4330. Divided by 7 = an average of 618 per day, my goal is 500 per day average or I don't lose.

    10th week goal: 135 until I hit it
    10th week actual weight: 140.2 - Saturdays are usually my highest weigh of the week, but they are inching up each week.
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 4974 = 704 average daily

    11th Week Goal Weight:
    11th Week Actual Weight: 139.5
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 5751 - lots of calorie burn this week! Averaged 821.5 per day

    12th Week Goal Weight:
    12th Week Actual Weight: 138.8
    Excess calories burned (in the green): Lots. 4101 - 585.8 average per day

    13th Week Actual Weight: 138.1
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 4656

    Day 90: Sun, 8/7: 136.2 - Company, not spending too much time on my computer/forums
    Day 91: Mon, 8/8: 138.3 - Bernaise sauce on Filet Mignon, wine, blackened prawns etc.
    Day 92: Tues, 8/9: 138.8 - Very happy to not be ballooning with all of this fabulous food. Up hours before my company today.

    Here are some photos of food and drink.

    @Lilylady3k

    I know that you are a wine drinker, so these bottles that I was cellaring (and thought that I would never drink because wine was not sitting well with me) might mean something to you:

    2008 Merlot

    mlosp4y666eu.png

    2008 Shiraz

    9j5w40ps8ybf.png

    Both were exquisite (we didn't drink the entire bottles). I never stopped appreciating the pairing of foods and wine, I just couldn't tolerate it anymore. Kind of willing to face the aftermath at this point.

    I am the cocktail maker, my friend Rob is the chef.
    Here is my version of a Blue Dream:

    cqqtedqa3tt1.png

    No alcohol concoction using banana extract to make like a virgin banana daquiri

    dwffrkosa31p.png

    Iced coffee (no alcohol) - I sometimes add extracts (anise, rum, orange, brandy, vanilla etc.)

    m2xab1u3niwv.png

    And some food shots (many of the ingredients from my own garden):

    This is the filet mignon which I smothered with Bernaise, Tarragon picked just before preparation

    w9shvwonsqo7.png

    Last night's:

    xfow9o2dci5j.png

    Some of Sunday's garlic harvest which we tried to braid and you can see that we also dug one row of potatoes:

    7vjs5m8xdzwa.png

    Quite a bit chubbier than last year at this time, but it is what it is and I won't be giving up completely, although I am thoroughly being indulgent this week while I have a chef here lol

    Day 90…..08/07…..198.2…..(Trend weight 200.7)

    Day 91…..08/08…..196.4…..(Trend weight 200.3) A very nice drop after a very good day. I’ve been working pretty hard to make my scratch-off chart listed above a little more honest after I drifted back up into the 200’s. Travel today and tomorrow, both involving food but I will try to be reasonable. I’m officially allowed more movement starting tomorrow, but I did sneak on the exercise bike for about 16 minutes last night. It must have pushed the scale. I’m certainly not going to make my 15 lb loss goal this challenge, but if I can keep it at a loss, I’ll take it!


    WEEK 13 LOSS OR GAIN: 4.8 lbs LOST
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 4.4 lbs. LOST

    Day 92…..08/09…..198.8…..(Trend weight 200.1) Took my son to Outback during yesterday’s travels. He had never been there. I ate reasonably but no movement whatsoever. Travel canceled for today so I hope to keep it extra clean. Having a dinner reunion of sorts this weekend with my group of best friends when I was growing up. I haven’t seen most of them in 45 years except in my heart. This will involve travel and food, and I am admittedly very anxious about how I’ve aged and how I look, but I’ve missed them for too long!

    100 Days of Accountability 5/10-8/17
    I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

    Female, Age 61, 5’3”
    Challenge Starting Weight: 216.4 (5/9)
    Challenge Goal: <200
    History & Goals
    Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
    2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021) NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021
    2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022)
    UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
    🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:
    * Prior to Oct roadtrip damage: 205
    * Onederland: 199
    * Obese stage 1 BMI 34.9: 197
    * 50 lbs lost never to be found: 195


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

    My goal for 2022 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
    Plans:
    🔹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.

    1st Week Goal Weight: <215
    1st Week Actual Weight: 217.3
    1st Week Weight GAIN: .9
    Success this week is that I actually journaled every bite and started walking a little again.

    Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
    Day 6: Sun, 5/15: 217.5 Walked 3.7 miles, trimmed bushes. 1624 cal (59 green), 91 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
    Day 7: Mon, 5/16: 217.2 No exercise. Did not even wear my Apple Watch so no credit for steps either. 2518 cal (-1218 red), 164 net carbs, 2 glasses wine, 2 bourbon & diet cokes, THREE cupcakes! 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!
    Day 8: Tues, 5/17: 219.2
    Day 9: Wed, 5/18: 219.1 Strength Class 1 hr
    Day 10: Thurs, 5/19: 219.4 Walked 3.2 miles

    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 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 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.

    Day 44: Wed, 6/22: 219.8 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog. Updated contracts for my mom’s house and spent the day with DD to reduce her anxiety and boredom as she waits for the baby! We did mani/pedi :) 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.
    8th Week Goal Weight: Not focused!

    Day 55: Sun, 7/3: 222.4 Walked 1 mile. All the kids were here for our family celebration with the new grandbabies. Huge spread of hamburgers & brats, tater tots & zucchini fries + key lime pie for our mid day meal. DH & I will have leftovers for days. I ate the hamburger as a salad without bun and the zucchini fries but obviously the 2 pieces of pie hit me hard … or was it the one Heineken 0.0? Not sure since I thought I had been pretty good. Called a neighbor and got a great family photo since we had all of us together! Now to get myself slimmer for the next family photo! I need to get out of the 220s.
    Day 56: Mon, 7/4: 220.0 Walked 3 miles, meal planning was good, the rest of the day I either read, caught up on my sleep or shopped the sales online (2 granddaughters to buy magneticme & simply magnetic sleeping outfits).
    Day 57: Tues, 7/5: 221.8 Gardening in the heat.
    Day 58: Wed, 7/6: DNW Strength Training class 1 hr. Helped DD after she had a rough night with the baby. Ensured DD got lunch, afternoon nap, a shower, picked up the house for her, helped her figure out her breast pump, and gave her lots of hugs and support. Mom & baby are doing fine. Then fed my sister dinner and wine to celebrate her return from a week+ of helping my mom with the move and unloaded her car of all my stuff she brought back.
    Day 59: Thurs, 7/7: 221.5 No exercise … my knee is bothering me. But I did go up and down the stairs a million times LOL. Unpacked and found a new home in my house for everything that came back from the camp that my mom doesn’t need so she had space to put her own stuff. Cooked a tasty Hello Fresh dinner of Bulgogi Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Carrots & Lemony Rice
    Day 60: Fri, 7/8: 221.6 Swam with my granddaughter. No real exercise for the day.
    Day 61: Sat, 7/9: 222.4 No exercise. Wonderful girls day hanging out with my DD, DIL, sister and the 2 grandbabies over lunch that I brought to DD’s house. Dinner out too. DH and I found a new to us Italian restaurant about 11 miles away which was very good. Ran into friends and sat with them in the bar area for dinner. Fun time and really great food. DH & I split toasted ravioli and Cappellini Crusted Red Snapper - red snapper filet wrapped with angel hair pasta topped with artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, and green onions in bianco sauce. Served with a side of steamed vegetable medley. YUMMY!
    9th Week Goal Weight: <220
    9th Week Actual Weight: 222.4 TOTAL MISS! Refused to exercise daily as well as I’m not drinking much water nor journaling which combined leads to a gain.

    Day 62: Sun, 7/10: 222.8 No exercise. Too much food. I know what causes the gains but haven’t wrapped my head around turning things in another direction. Today I concentrate on me myself and I.
    Day 63: Mon, 7/11: 222.6 Walked 3 miles. Crazy heat 108 degrees.
    Day 64: Tues, 7/12: DNW
    Day 65: Wed, 7/13: 220.4 Strength Training class 1 hr.
    Day 66: Thurs, 7/14: 221.6 Walked 1.4
    Day 67: Fri, 7/15: 222.1 Walked 3.1, sporting clays too.

    10th Week Actual Weight: 223.6
    It's time to stop making excuses and procrastinating.
    Getting out of my own way and reminding myself of the reasons I want to lose weight and get in better shape:
    * Better health
    * More active & outgoing
    * I'll look better in pictures
    * Not always biggest person in room
    * Fun shopping for clothes
    * Example for my adult kids
    * Live longer & enjoy those years more

    Day 69: Sun, 7:17: 224.0 Walked 1 mile
    Day 70: Mon, 7/18: 223.2 Walked 3.8 miles, started journaling 1892 cal (-91 red), 130 net carbs
    Day 71: Tues, 7/19: 224.1 Walked 3.1 miles, 2420 cal (-771 red), 241 net carbs. The cookies did me in both homemade and store bought.

    Day 72: Wed, 7/20: Leaving on a 2000 mile roadtrip! Long Travel Days planned. 14 hrs over 2 days not including stops for gas, food, potty. Ax Throwing & Brewery at the end of the long drive to Topeka.
    Day 73: Thurs, 7/21: DNW Shorter Travel Day + conference in the afternoon. Walked to a little French place in Old Market area of Omaha and stayed for dinner at La Buvette Wine & Grocery.
    Day 74: Fri, 7/22: DNW Strategic Air Command Museum (SAC) & conference. Italian dinner at Nicola’s Italian Wine & Fare.
    Day 75: Sat, 7/23: DNW Long Travel Day. 10 hrs not including stops. Wine & broiled crab cakes for dinner.

    11th Week Goal Weight: <224
    11th Week Actual Weight:

    Day 76: Sun, 7/24: DNW Walking around Hot Springs. Grateful Head Pizza for lunch & leftovers for dinner.
    Day 77: Mon, 7/25: DNW Long Travel Day. 7 hrs not including stops. Fried Shrimp, Fish and Potatoes for lunch. Yummy but a fry fest.
    Day 78: Tues, 7/26: What’s the damage? 224.6 Wonderful trip but long days driving which meant lots of sitting on top of the heat 100+ which prevented us from really getting out to walk or hike. DH gained 5 lbs and I gained .5 lbs but then I was already up on the scale before we left.
    READY TO LOSE WEIGHT!
    Day 79: Wed, 7/27: 221.7 Functional Strength Training. 1534 cal (-10 red), 19 net carbs. So glad I passed on the Snickers at the grocery check out! Menu planned and followed through … on track for the first day back.
    Day 80: Thurs, 7/28: 220.6 No exercise. 1442 cal (-121 red), 53 net carbs. Shared the day with my DIL & DD and the 2 granddaughters. Lunch out for DIL’s birthday. I did okay … preplanned and journaled my day before leaving home in the morning. Tasty Ginger Salmon with roasted green beans at Papas Seafood. Had to add tracking the bread I ate but other than that it was a really good day. Fresh crusty warm French bread is hard to pass up!
    Day 81: Fri, 7/29: 221.3 Walked 3.2 miles. 1196 cal (623 green), 43 net carbs. Finished Lady Clays summer league (sporting clays) this evening and went to the celebration dinner. I was the only one that ordered a salad with grilled chicken & water … everyone else had pasta & wine. Did indulge in a piece of garlic bread … bread is my downfall.
    3 days in a row that I've planned and journaled in the morning my meals & snacks and then returned to make corrections. Getting into better habits. This is the one I'll be working on all next week too.
    Day 82: Sat, 7/30: 221.5 Walked 1.6 miles. 1573 cal (30 green), 67 net carbs. Dark Chocolate Ghirardelli Brownie threw me off course. DH wanted some after dinner last night so I whipped up a batch. Otherwise my meals were well planned. I even ordered just a grilled chicken breast with no fries when at a fast food place for lunch. Guessing that single decision helped when I splurged later in the evening.

    Coming back to where you started is not like never trying in the first place.
    Bouncing around and got down to 220 this week now I just need to make it stick and go lower!


    I’m joining globalhiker for a "commitment to myself" for the entire month of August. I can stick to good habits for a month and meet my target goals that I set for myself. Here is to us holding ourselves accountable!

    Day 83: Sun, 7/31: 221.7 Walked 3.1 + .4 miles. Two brownies oh my! But little dinner or rest since I babysat my 5 week old granddaughter to let my DD & her husband have an evening out. I’m glad I spent part of the day making chicken & sausage gumbo so both DH & I had the soup on hand for dinner even though we didn’t get to eat together. I ate it without rice.

    STARTING my personal challenge in August:
    🔹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; off/on Oct 2021-July 2022; recommit 8/1/2022)
    🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
    🔹Drink less alcohol (~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

    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.

    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 4.4 lbs. LOST

    Day 92…..08/09…..198.8…..(Trend weight 200.1) Took my son to Outback during yesterday’s travels. He had never been there. I ate reasonably but no movement whatsoever. Travel canceled for today so I hope to keep it extra clean. Having a dinner reunion of sorts this weekend with my group of best friends when I was growing up. I haven’t seen most of them in 45 years except in my heart. This will involve travel and food, and I am admittedly very anxious about how I’ve aged and how I look, but I’ve missed them for too long!

    Day 93…..08/10…..197.0…..(Trend weight 199.8) I had an excellent eating day yesterday and got in a little mild exercise which I am easing into. I rode the exercise bike for 20 minutes. Amazing considering that just a few short months ago I thought that 3 minutes felt like hours and could only do the 3 minutes at a time! My glucose remains much too high since surgery with no explanation. I have been very weak and sickly these past couple of days and I think it’s related to that and possibly the new meds. Stress doesn’t help either and with the wedding planning for my daughter, well, let’s just say that very little is going right. Today my handymen will start the process of putting an Egress window down to my son’s apartment in the basement. I will feel much safer because of his disabilities to have it in place. Pics are below, sorry I don't know how to make these smaller.

    @deepwoodslady - The egress window is a wonderful safety addition to your home!!!! Great prioritization and getting it done. On another note ... I missed something! Your daughter is getting married? Tell us more. Glad that you have a little more energy and are past the initial surgery so that you might be able to enjoy any festivities and assist with the planning. So nice to be there for her. Congrats!

    * Onederland: 199
    * Obese stage 1 BMI 34.9: 197
    * 50 lbs lost never to be found: 195


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

    My goal for 2022 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
    Plans:

    🔹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)

    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 21: Mon, 5/30: DNW @ fishing camp 🎣

    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 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.

    Interesting Quote: “I feel like I’m constantly worrying about the next part of my life without realizing that I’m right in the middle of what I used to look forward to.”

    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 39: Fri, 6/17: 220.2 Strength Training 1 hr
    Day 40: Sat, 6/18: 219.2 Walked 3+ .6 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.

    Day 44: Wed, 6/22: 219.8 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog. Updated contracts for my mom’s house and spent the day with DD to reduce her anxiety and boredom as she waits for the baby! We did mani/pedi :) 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.
    8th Week Goal Weight: Not focused!
    8th Week Actual Weight:

    Day 55: Sun, 7/3: 222.4 Walked 1 mile. All the kids were here for our family celebration with the new grandbabies. Huge spread of hamburgers & brats, tater tots & zucchini fries + key lime pie for our mid day meal. DH & I will have leftovers for days. I ate the hamburger as a salad without bun and the zucchini fries but obviously the 2 pieces of pie hit me hard … or was it the one Heineken 0.0? Not sure since I thought I had been pretty good. Called a neighbor and got a great family photo since we had all of us together! Now to get myself slimmer for the next family photo! I need to get out of the 220s.
    Day 56: Mon, 7/4: 220.0 Walked 3 miles, meal planning was good, the rest of the day I either read, caught up on my sleep or shopped the sales online (2 granddaughters to buy magneticme & simply magnetic sleeping outfits).
    Day 57: Tues, 7/5: 221.8 Gardening in the heat.
    Day 58: Wed, 7/6: DNW Strength Training class 1 hr. Helped DD after she had a rough night with the baby. Ensured DD got lunch, afternoon nap, a shower, picked up the house for her, helped her figure out her breast pump, and gave her lots of hugs and support. Mom & baby are doing fine. Then fed my sister dinner and wine to celebrate her return from a week+ of helping my mom with the move and unloaded her car of all my stuff she brought back.
    Day 59: Thurs, 7/7: 221.5 No exercise … my knee is bothering me. But I did go up and down the stairs a million times LOL. Unpacked and found a new home in my house for everything that came back from the camp that my mom doesn’t need so she had space to put her own stuff. Cooked a tasty Hello Fresh dinner of Bulgogi Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Carrots & Lemony Rice
    Day 60: Fri, 7/8: 221.6 Swam with my granddaughter. No real exercise for the day.
    Day 61: Sat, 7/9: 222.4 No exercise. Wonderful girls day hanging out with my DD, DIL, sister and the 2 grandbabies over lunch that I brought to DD’s house. Dinner out too. DH and I found a new to us Italian restaurant about 11 miles away which was very good. Ran into friends and sat with them in the bar area for dinner. Fun time and really great food. DH & I split toasted ravioli and Cappellini Crusted Red Snapper - red snapper filet wrapped with angel hair pasta topped with artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, and green onions in bianco sauce. Served with a side of steamed vegetable medley. YUMMY!
    9th Week Goal Weight: <220
    9th Week Actual Weight: 222.4 TOTAL MISS! Refused to exercise daily as well as I’m not drinking much water nor journaling which combined leads to a gain.

    Day 62: Sun, 7/10: 222.8 No exercise. Too much food. I know what causes the gains but haven’t wrapped my head around turning things in another direction. Today I concentrate on me myself and I.
    Day 63: Mon, 7/11: 222.6 Walked 3 miles. Crazy heat 108 degrees.
    Day 64: Tues, 7/12: DNW

    10th Week Goal Weight: <220
    10th Week Actual Weight: 223.6
    It's time to stop making excuses and procrastinating.
    Getting out of my own way and reminding myself of the reasons I want to lose weight and get in better shape:
    * Better health
    * More active & outgoing
    * I'll look better in pictures
    * Not always biggest person in room
    * Fun shopping for clothes
    * Example for my adult kids
    * Live longer & enjoy those years more

    Day 69: Sun, 7:17: 224.0 Walked 1 mile
    Day 70: Mon, 7/18: 223.2 Walked 3.8 miles, started journaling 1892 cal (-91 red), 130 net carbs
    Day 71: Tues, 7/19: 224.1 Walked 3.1 miles, 2420 cal (-771 red), 241 net carbs. The cookies did me in both homemade and store bought.

    Day 72: Wed, 7/20: Leaving on a 2000 mile roadtrip! Long Travel Days planned. 14 hrs over 2 days not including stops for gas, food, potty. Ax Throwing & Brewery at the end of the long drive to Topeka.
    Day 73: Thurs, 7/21: DNW Shorter Travel Day + conference in the afternoon. Walked to a little French place in Old Market area of Omaha and stayed for dinner at La Buvette Wine & Grocery.
    Day 74: Fri, 7/22: DNW Strategic Air Command Museum (SAC) & conference. Italian dinner at Nicola’s Italian Wine & Fare.
    Day 75: Sat, 7/23: DNW Long Travel Day. 10 hrs not including stops. Wine & broiled crab cakes for dinner.

    11th Week Goal Weight: <224
    11th Week Actual Weight:

    Day 76: Sun, 7/24: DNW Walking around Hot Springs. Grateful Head Pizza for lunch & leftovers for dinner.
    Day 77: Mon, 7/25: DNW Long Travel Day. 7 hrs not including stops. Fried Shrimp, Fish and Potatoes for lunch. Yummy but a fry fest.
    Day 78: Tues, 7/26: What’s the damage? 224.6 Wonderful trip but long days driving which meant lots of sitting on top of the heat 100+ which prevented us from really getting out to walk or hike. DH gained 5 lbs and I gained .5 lbs but then I was already up on the scale before we left.
    READY TO LOSE WEIGHT!
    Day 79: Wed, 7/27: 221.7 Functional Strength Training. 1534 cal (-10 red), 19 net carbs. So glad I passed on the Snickers at the grocery check out! Menu planned and followed through … on track for the first day back.
    Day 80: Thurs, 7/28: 220.6 No exercise. 1442 cal (-121 red), 53 net carbs. Shared the day with my DIL & DD and the 2 granddaughters. Lunch out for DIL’s birthday. I did okay … preplanned and journaled my day before leaving home in the morning. Tasty Ginger Salmon with roasted green beans at Papas Seafood. Had to add tracking the bread I ate but other than that it was a really good day. Fresh crusty warm French bread is hard to pass up!
    Day 81: Fri, 7/29: 221.3 Walked 3.2 miles. 1196 cal (623 green), 43 net carbs. Finished Lady Clays summer league (sporting clays) this evening and went to the celebration dinner. I was the only one that ordered a salad with grilled chicken & water … everyone else had pasta & wine. Did indulge in a piece of garlic bread … bread is my downfall.
    3 days in a row that I've planned and journaled in the morning my meals & snacks and then returned to make corrections. Getting into better habits. This is the one I'll be working on all next week too.
    Day 82: Sat, 7/30: 221.5 Walked 1.6 miles. 1573 cal (30 green), 67 net carbs. Dark Chocolate Ghirardelli Brownie threw me off course. DH wanted some after dinner last night so I whipped up a batch. Otherwise my meals were well planned. I even ordered just a grilled chicken breast with no fries when at a fast food place for lunch. Guessing that single decision helped when I splurged later in the evening.

    12th Week Actual Weight: 221.5
    Coming back to where you started is not like never trying in the first place.
    Bouncing around and got down to 220 this week now I just need to make it stick and go lower!


    I’m joining globalhiker for a "commitment to myself" for the entire month of August. I can stick to good habits for a month and meet my target goals that I set for myself. Here is to us holding ourselves accountable!

    Day 83: Sun, 7/31: 221.7 Walked 3.1 + .4 miles. Two brownies oh my! But little dinner or rest since I babysat my 5 week old granddaughter to let my DD & her husband have an evening out. I’m glad I spent part of the day making chicken & sausage gumbo so both DH & I had the soup on hand for dinner even though we didn’t get to eat together. I ate it without rice.

    STARTING my personal challenge in August:
    🔹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; off/on Oct 2021-July 2022; recommit 8/1/2022)

    Day 84: Mon, 8/1: 223.1 Walked 3.5 miles. 2293 cal (-601 red), 160 net carbs. Meals well planned but then my sister invited us for dinner … the wine, steak with a double stuffed potato and coconut cream delight (like Allrecipes Mom’s Texas Delight) blew right past all my good intentions.

    @deepwoodslady - The egress window is a wonderful safety addition to your home!!!! Great prioritization and getting it done. On another note ... I missed something! Your daughter is getting married? Tell us more. Glad that you have a little more energy and are past the initial surgery so that you might be able to enjoy any festivities and assist with the planning. So nice to be there for her. Congrats!

    @Lilylady3k She is getting married on Sept 3 with less than two months notice to plan a rather large church wedding! It happened very quickly so all you had to do was blink..... No, she is not pregnant thanks to the copper thing, but I do feel she is being pushed by her baby daddy too hard ("I don't want our son by your boyfriend" etc., so she thinks marriage is the answer. The groom is a nice man. They have been dating for about a year. He has a good job and owns his own home with lots of land (thanks to inheritance), so they will be financially stable as she works too. However, I think it is too soon and I think it's for the wrong reasons at this time. They do seem "over the moon" for each other, however. As I've said before, she is very fragile so it is difficult to talk to her about all of this. I tried, of course, but then she said she doesn't want anyone involved who "doesn't support her". She is a handful with her mental health issues. She will be 28 in Nov and my grandson will be 5 in late Nov, so she is not super young or just out of high school, so I have no choice but to respect her wishes, so planning we are, very quickly! I just got the cloth napkins, we have the dress (alterations begin on Friday we hope, out of town at professional bridal shop). I've got a line on some table runners from facebook. We have supplies for bouquets. Grandson's suit had been bought and locally altered. Looking into white chair covers from Facebook but they are two hours away and too heavy to ship. I'm hoping she'll find the time to get those. Menu is planned. Centerpieces are being made by maid of honor and I have gotten a ton of flower vases and decorations. She has handmade the ring pillow. I still have to look into a cake. We don't have a local bakery (one opening soon, but not in time). I am going to check with the local Amish who may be able to accommodate us. They do have a little bakery but it usually doesn't showcase cakes. I've been spending a lot of time on the computer, ordering, ordering, ordering. Jewelery, hair jewelry, veils, footwear, gloves, my own clothing. Etc. Found my son's clothing, ordered and locally altered. Set up hair and nail appts for many people etc etc. And of course, all in a small town with no resources. I'll give updates as we go, but for right now, the first emergency is that the local seamstress said the dress alteration is too much for her! She's doing grooms suit, grandson, mine and my son. But my daughter's dress has to be hemmed 10 inches without losing the front adornment (must be taken up at the pointy bodice!) and taken in a bit on either side so pray that the out-of-town shop tomorrow will take it on ! Stress anyone? LOL

    Day 92…..08/09…..198.8…..(Trend weight 200.1)

    Day 93…..08/10…..197.0…..(Trend weight 199.8) I had an excellent eating day yesterday and got in a little mild exercise which I am easing into. I rode the exercise bike for 20 minutes. Amazing considering that just a few short months ago I thought that 3 minutes felt like hours and could only do the 3 minutes at a time! My glucose remains much too high since surgery with no explanation. I have been very weak and sickly these past couple of days and I think it’s related to that and possibly the new meds. Stress doesn’t help either and with the wedding planning for my daughter, well, let’s just say that very little is going right. Today my handymen will start the process of putting an Egress window down to my son’s apartment in the basement. I will feel much safer because of his disabilities to have it in place. Pics are below, sorry I don't know how to make these smaller.

    Day 94…..08/11…..198.0…..(Trend weight 199.6) I had a mini-binge last night because I skipped lunch and threw away exactly half of my dinner. I had terrible heart episodes all evening and night and was closer to 911 than I have ever been so appetite was gone until very late when I ate. Blood pressure was running way too low for hours 81/51 but pulse kept running at about 100-105 resting. I had to instruct my son on the nitro, just in case, clear a spot for an ambulance gurney to get in (among this remodel mess), talk to him about aspirin for me, and lay down because fainting was a very real possibility. I sipped a lot of water in case it was dehydration (water pill yesterday). I tried to stay calm. I hooked myself to my Bi-pap machine for some regular breathing and it finally subsided. Of course, I am very far from a hospital and didn’t want to go through that unless I absolutely had to. Finally, feeling better at 11:30 PM, I was hungry and ate. It was not really a binge or unreasonable, but I tried snacks first which didn’t work, then went on to eat a small meal. But the two added together put me over calorie by about 400. I should have skipped the snacks and went right to the meal. BP this morning is 82/53 but pulse is much better at 86 and heart is not beating out of chest. Very strange on the pulse since they put me specifically on a med to lower pulse. It’s been running 80’s to low 90’s which is normal. I’m not sure what happened, that is why I sipped plenty of water because dehydrations can cause this problem too. More water today, and today is not a normally scheduled waterpill anyway. Maybe the stress of this very quick wedding planning is getting to me. Maybe complications from surgery. I am keeping an eye on it for sure and I hope it don’t interfere with my reunion dinner tomorrow. Driving could be out. The dinner is about 2 ½ hours from my home as we are all “meeting in the middle” of where we live. We’ll see how today goes.
