Day/Weight/Comment
10/14: DNW - Traveling - good day hiking, but a lot of snacking and a celebration dinner/dessert
10/15: DNW - Traveling - I’ve been eating breakfast the last few days which I rarely do at home. Today I did get some exercise, but it wasn’t all that intense. Lots of nibble the rest of the day.
10/16: DNW - Traveling - only a short hike/walk with some touring of a town we’re visiting.
10/17: DNW - Traveling - touring Benington VT today. Not a lot of good choices when it comes to food
10/18: DNW - Traveling - Local hike and then a couple of brewery visits.
10/19: DNW - Traveling - Travel day by car for 6+ hours, so no exercise
10/20: DNW - Traveling - Travel day by planes, trains and automobiles. Some walking, but not much
10/21: DNW - Traveling - Husband’s birthday, so we got in some good exercise but food wasn’t all that healthy. Attended a welcome reception for a friend’s wedding.
10/22: DNW - Traveling
10/23: DNW - Traveling
Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: +/- 0 pounds
I want to keep focused on my exercise and eating even though I don’t have any way to weigh myself. Hope it’s okay to keep participating in the challenge.4 -

10/14 - 177.2
Still coughing and blowing with a cold, and I just want to sleep, but off I go to walk/run some energy off the pup. Then maybe I’ll go back to bed!
10/15 - 177
Feeling a little better today, so off for a walk with Rory pup.
10/16 - 178
Ooops. Yep, I did some emotional eating, some of it quite salty. Onward.
10/17 - 177.2
Ok, now to drop out of the 77s for good!
10/18 - 176.2
Whoa! That’s a nice surprise! Especially since I made brownie last night and ate one. But I was still close to my calories goal, so all good, I guess. Now to keep going.
10/19 - 176.4
Sticking mostly to the plan, and I’m finally getting my macros closer to recommendations from GenoPalate, which is based on DNA and which recommended I eat more whole carbs and less fat than I was eating. I’m finding it hard to change that balance, but am slowly getting closer. I’m curious to see if it makes an obvious difference.
10/20 - 177
Salty food yesterday, and a little too much of it, I think. And some stress eating. It’s ok.
10/21 - 177
Holding pattern for now. That’s ok.
10/22 - 177.4
Very sad day here yesterday. We had to say goodbye to my beautiful young dog, Rory. He had fear and anxiety issues from his first day here (meaning he had them before I got him), and despite training in multiple dog sports since 10 weeks old, lots of socialization, etc., they just got worse over time. I consulted my vet and a behaviorist this past summer, tried fluoxetine (Prozac) and handling protocols, but he continued to escalate, becoming frightened of things he’s seen all his life here. So we made the terrible decision, with which my vet concurred, and yesterday afternoon we set him free. The demons can’t follow. So yes, I had a comfort dinner. Here he is on a good day.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

10/15 120.0 And this is what happens when I DON’T eat wheat! Two days of mostly carnivore eating after ONE SUPER HIGH CARB meal on Wednesday!
10/16 120.5 Joining my ladies at my daughter’s to “make” soap. It’s melt and pour so should be fairly easy. I bought lemon and vanilla oils and I’m going to cut some rosemary to add and to share. BONUS - visit with DGGS!
10/17 121.0 Plans yesterday postponed due to DD having stomach problems.😢😢Great Greek for early lunch before learning that we cancelled. Going to try to get school library straightened out today and tomorrow. The library assistant doesn’t speak English and is clueless about how to shelve books! DD said the library is a mess.
10/18 121.0 Late dinner at BBQ place with family. Worked 3 hours at DD’s school library, mostly standing. Going back today after mani. Manis are something I have decided I “deserve” after all the years of taking care of family and friends for over 50 years.
10/19 120.5. Got the school library fairly shipshape until the aide starts putting things away. Got my mani. Nails are a little shorter than I wanted but they’ll grow. I love the color I picked and if I had gone to the pool AT ALL this summer (=tan), they would be very striking. Meet the candidates Night in our community. DH is running for HOA board with the hope of bringing SOME fiscal responsibility. Consequently we are making goodies. He’s making chocolate chip cookies and I will make my “famous” brownies. From scratch is so much better than a mix and these are so easy.
10/20 121.5 Too many “goodies” but I didn’t eat anything anyone else brought. The majority of the people attending last night supported the 3 new candidates and the 2 current board members running for reelection (current president and a yes woman) did not get the applause on their responses. I could go on and on but will spare you. I’m eager for blind neighbor to return and being able to fast a bit longer.
10/21 121.5 Beautiful evening yesterday. Sat outside with neighbors for a few hours.
10/22 123.0 Not surprised- I have been craving salt the last couple of days and drinking LOTS of water - had over 100 oz yesterday plus coffee and XL Coke Zero.2 -
@SheilaBoneham wow! That must have been a terribly hard decision to make. He is beautiful! Hugs.1

Round 202 (My first!)
52yo F with steady weight gain over the past

Goal for 10 days- track food, daily weights, exercise every other day, 64 oz water.
10/17 165.4- day one; stuck to my calorie goals, 20 min peloton, 90+oz water!
10/18 164.8
10/19 162.8 still on the plan! A bit carb withdrawal but I'm still going!
10/20 161.6- conference- off plan with wine & chips/hotdog
10/21 dnw- at conference, but more on track
10/22 162.4
Back home making it easier to exercise & follow eating plan. Although I haven't done it perfectly, I'm still going which is huge progress for me. Super inspired by you all!!

@SheilaBoneham I am devastated for you. I work at a vet that does a lot of behavior work and the behavior cases that come to this decision are usually the most heartbreaking. I know you gave it everything you could and so did Rory. You’re right, the demons can’t follow. I am so so so sorry for your loss. It was kind of you to set him free. I will be thinking of you and if I could I would wrap you in a big hug ❤️3

10/22 - 159.2 - Expected sodium bloat and not nearly as bad as I anticipated. Went to the local hibachi/sushi place for dinner. I kept it as clean as possible, no alcohol, and portioned so I walked out (for the first time ever) not feeling overly full, but simply satisfied. I'm about 100-150 calories under goal for the day today. As long as dinner holds (smoked wings) I shouldn't need an evening snack later. No alcohol today, either. Should have no problem finishing my last bit of water to hit my goal. No workout so hopefully I can get some extra movement tomorrow to meet my goal of 3 workouts a week. I think yoga is in my future (:
10/23
Previous Day's Comments10/14 - It's very tiny, but it's a drop! I was over calories but under maintenance yesterday so I was expecting a bump up. BF had requested dinner be a meal I had made myself for lunch one day (he tried it then and loved it). It's a bit of a calorie bomb despite all the veggies. Brunch was also a bit of a splurge thinking it'd hold me over until dinner. Unfortunately I needed a small snack which pushed me over. Today I'm going to ease into a rowing workout since I think my body is readjusted and ready enough to get back into more challenging workouts. Likely a 5 or 10 minute one, though, so as not to overdo it. Also aiming for a less calorie-dense brunch to allow for a mid-afternoon snack to hold me over. Completely unsure of dinner but the weekend always gets me so I'm trying to set myself up strong to make it through the weekend without a huge gain (bloat may be another thing, but I can handle that over an actual gain)
10/15 - DNP
10/16 - DNP
10/17 - Renovation work all weekend on Fam's house. Once again couldn't keep up water no matter how hard I tried. I'm back on the routine today with work so hopefully it'll drop off in a day or two. Just completed a 20 minute full workout (warm up and cool down included) on the rowing machine. Tonight's dinner is a garlic parmesan pasta with chicken. Crock pot meal but BigBro liked it the last time I made it so I said I'd make it again for him. Will be careful early in the day to avoid overeating. Logging that as soon as I'm done typing this up so I know what I have to work with. Hoping to fast as long as possible but we shall see how my body reacts to my first big workout in weeks when it comes to requiring fuel.
10/18 - MFP is all kinds of funky. It doesn't recognize my login when I try to log food, but it allows me to log in when I post? Oh well, logging works on my phone app at least. Not sure the uptick. I drank all my water and was 427 calories under yesterday (297 from exercise). I didn't work out this morning, I had a rough night tossing and turning and simply was not feeling it. Most, I'm assuming, was due to the dog hogging all my blankets most of the night (as soon as I'd get them back and fall asleep, she'd steal them again). Hopefully tomorrow is better. Also had the unfortunate realization that I thought today was Wednesday and it is, in fact, only Tuesday. More time to get back on track and drop some of this weight before the weekend upends me again, I suppose. Not sure dinner tonight. I have leftovers from last night's dinner for lunch. Still fasting and hoping to hold on to that until lunch if I can without getting grouchy. Or BF telling me to eat because my stomach is rumbling so loud it's distracting him hahaha it definitely happened yesterday. And it's growling at me as I type (though I don't feel hungry at all so I'm ignoring it and BF is on a work call so he can't hear it). Hopefully chugging this water will quiet it and get me back on track since I'm a tad behind without having the workout to spur my thirst on. Hope today is wonderful for you all!
10/19 - There it is, that drop I've been hoping for! Now to hold on to it. No workout this morning, I woke up mid-dream again and it took nearly a half hour to convince myself out of bed. Still a tad groggy, but better. I was over my goal by 14 calories due to lack of movement, but still in a big enough deficit. Not sure dinner tonight but lunch is leftover tacos. Wish I had some spinach or lettuce to make a taco salad instead, but alas, I do not. Quite hungry this morning to the point of feeling a little light headed so I went ahead and had something small to break my fast. Much improved now, thankfully. EDIT: My computer decided to panic and die on me before I could post and MFP is being a turd all around by giving me issues both on the computer and on the app. Think I'm good now, though. At least it saved my draft! Today will likely be a bust food-wise simply because of breakfast. Going to try for some extra movement in the coming hours to make up for it. I currently only have 23 calories left in my budget, oof! If I'm able to keep it below 1800, though, I should be at or below maintenance which shouldn't pose a problem.
10/20 - No hugs needed. I promise. There it was and there it went! Not too worried. Last night's dinner didn't thaw out as planned so we had to switch dinners. Tonight was supposed to be pizza night (Thursday Night Football) and last night smoked chicken thighs. Instead, pizza last night and thighs tonight. I wasn't going to hit calorie goals anyway, so yesterday was a bust. At least it all happened in one day and today I can focus on getting back to it! I DID just finish a 10 minute rowing workout (with 10 minutes for warmup/cooldown) finally so feeling more positive about hitting today's goals. I also love my new Fitbit with the exercise option of "rowing machine". My old Fitbit didn't have that and I had to log using 'workout' and maaaaybe remember to change it to 'rowing machine' in the app after I finished. Lunch is leftover homemade bierrocks which I had frozen from a few weeks ago. Unsure sides with dinner, but I'm pre-logging what I can to ensure I have some wiggle room. And I'm not hungry right now which bodes well for fasting until lunch. Now if I can manage today's positivity and goal-focused mindset through the weekend
10/21 - Back down it goes, just as I had hoped. And much quicker, at that! I have a bit of a scratchy throat this morning and some serious jaw pain. I guess despite my nightguard, my jaw will still be achy when I grind my teeth and I might still get a little swollen scratchy throat feeling (this is me hoping it's that or allergies and not sickness). No workout this morning and not sure I'll get one in with the jaw pain-induced migraine I'm dealing with. Tonight is a plan to eat out on the way to a high school football game. FamHub's friend apparently coaches the other team? Neither are teams any of the kids go to, so it's really just to see the friend and have an excuse to watch football. I'm watching my food intake, already debating my lunch options to give me the most wiggle room for dinner out. Keeping up with my water and tea, though, in hopes I'll feel a bit better by this evening. Not sure weekend plans, but I'm hoping to at least keep mine chill and quiet. Aiming to avoid all alcohol for the weekend if possible. I had a glass of wine Monday with dinner. Half a glass of beer Wednesday (split with BF) and nothing otherwise. I do feel better. Peer pressure will be a challenge but I'm determined to see myself through. Especially since I know beer is what kills my calorie budget and wine or hard liquor kills my ability to portion control food. (When I drink a glass with dinner, I portion my plate BEFORE I pour or take a single sip of wine to offset that)

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 / 168.4 / Friday is my work from home day. I had my second appointment of the week that verified I no longer need CPAP therapy for sleep apnea after my 120+ pound weight loss. A real victory. Had a nice night with my husband and I need to get to bed soon.
10/15 / 170.2 / Super busy day - brunch with friends, coffee and a walk with my dog and another friend, supper out with my husband and family.
10/16 / 171.8 / Yesterday was a big day of food and I was over on my calories. We had meals out with two different sets of people. I did get my steps in.
10/17 / 169.6 / We had a huge day of biking yesterday and then we stayed up late to watch the taped Bills game. Today was smoking busy at work.. thank goodness it was a work from home day.
10/18 / 169.6
10/19 / 170
10/20 / 171.6 / Since I last checked in I had a busy day in office, a meal out to celebrate my wedding anniversary, one night of business travel which included a massive food and alcohol binge, and well.. here I am. Today is back on track but I need to get out of this yo-yo as my average weight in trending up.
10/21 / 170 / Colder day here today. After work my husband and I have a cooking class together.
10/22 / 169 / Hubby and I had a great time at the cooking class. Today he was volunteering all day so I got some work done, visited a relative in the hospital, went to a movie, and rode the Peloton. Busy day!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 163.4lbs (-0.8lbs) Woop! Did not expect to see a drop today since I started taking creatine some days ago. Ended R201 on 164.2lbs yesterday, so seeing the 163’s is nice today 🥳
10/15 - 162.7 (-1.5lbs) Damn! Super surprised by this number considering I spent the evening at McDonalds. Stayed within calories, but still! It contains so much salt and carbs. I’ll take it! 🙉 Had a really rough HIIT workout today that lasted for an hour. I was in HR zone 3 for 10 mins and zone 4 for 40min.
10/16 - 162.7 (-1.5lbs) The exact same number as yesterday. Which is great! I hope I never ever see this number again in my life 😎 Don’t know yet if I’m going to hit the gym today or just go for a walk.. I have a pretty intense workout planned for tomorrow. Wishing you all a lovely day 💗
10/17 - 163.0 (-1.2lbs) I have no explanation for this small bump up 😂 I ate below calories, did one HIIT workout and went for two walks yesterday.
10/18 - 162.9 (-1.3lbs) Stayed under calories and did a one hour HIIT workout 😄 Still patiently waiting for a big whoosh effect 😂 💫 No, but for real.. Even if the weight hasn’t changed that much the past month I can feel that my body has. It’s tighter and stronger! Too bad I didn’t do a BF measurement before I started 🙉
10/19 - 162.5 (-1.7lbs) My lowest this round 🥳 Hope I make it to my goal. Stayed under calories yesterday and did a one hour HIIT workout too, taking an active rest day today. Maybe I’ll go for a small walk or something.
10/20 - 162.5 (-1.7lbs) I just want to be done with the 160’s now 😂 I feel like this is going so slow 🙉 Feels like my body really wants to stay at this weight, even if if doesn’t make sense. Going to focus on upping my protein intake and lowering carbs without changing my calorie intake. Can’t really go any lower on calories.
10/21 - 161.6 (-2.6lbs) Now we’re talking 😎 Stayed under cals, ate less carbs and more protein. Did 40 minutes of HIIT training and got over 10k steps during the day.
10/22 - 161.3 (-2.9lbs) Did one hour of HIIT training and stayed under calories. I schedule my workouts on Sundays so I know that nothing can interfere with them and I have no excuses. Been working really great for me! Been consistently working out 4-5 days a week for 2 months 😃 Going to stay consistent with the high protein/low carb. Aiming for 128g protein a day 🥵 It ain’t easy not gonna lie 😂
10/23 - 161.6 (-2.6lbs) Feeling super bloated 😂 Just got my period and it really started a carb craving yesterday. I stayed under calories and went for a walk, but I think this is the highest amount of carbs I’ve eaten since I got on here 😂 Even bread had a whole different smell to it, it was like I had carb-smelling-superpowers 😂 Oh well! Still reached my goal and ready to rock in round 203 💫

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating, exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Takes me back to my teenage years when DH & I were in a marching band. We regularly entered championships.1 -
64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 202 (my 134th). As always, thanks again @QuiltingJaine.
An additional 0.6 pounds of holiday weight gain gone, 0.8 to go, that is my goal for this round. Resting heart rate down to 48, that's another improvement too as that is directly linked to my weight. No binges, keep within calories & macros.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 138.2 – 4.75 miles walked yesterday mostly chasing around after little DGC!
10/15 138.2 – 10.54 miles walked, ready to move down from these figures now!
10/16 138.6 - 11.58 miles walked yesterday, we both got our Covid autumn boosters; it's nice to know that they had been tweaked to combat the Omnicron variant, couldn't get warm in bed last night, but DH was way too hot - side effects? Who knows!
10/17 137.8 – 3.66 miles walked yesterday, we both felt very tired and lethargic! Mostly rested, feeling much better today
10/18 137.8 – 10.25 miles walked, vitality back to normal again.
10/19 137.4 – 9.05 miles walked, feeling good & in control.
10/20 138 – 10.51 miles walked.
10 /21 137.2 – the persistent rain which was heavy & incessant, made any walking impossible, so took little DGS x2 to soft play and chased around after them.
10/22 137.2 – 9.67 miles walked yesterday before the rain came. Need to hold on to this weight for tomorrow!
10/23 137.8 - Yesterdays high carbs day; always share a pizza, with DH on Saturday night. Ugh, ups and downs of daily weighing! 13.83 miles walked; drove out to Pontscythle Aqueduct, walked to Llangollen, past Horseshoes Falls to Llantysilio Church and back. Such a wonderful day amongst the autumnal trees, loved it!! 0.4 pounds lost this round, not quite hit goal, but just keep on going!!
?ﾟﾑﾍThis is NOT A DIET. It’s a PERMANENT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE?ﾟﾑﾍ5 -
Awesome! Thank you as always for posting @quiltingjaine! These challenges really keep me motivated and you are a great group of people! ❤️
This will be my 13th round and I have lost a total of 27.6 pounds so far! This challenge brings me the most success and is much easier by breaking up my goals into smaller chunks.
I have one very solid goal, to be in Onederland by 12/17/22, after that, let the weight come off how it does.
SW: 250

Hmm. Not good but it will come off.
10/17: 204.6
I’ve been bouncing around the same 2 pounds for two weeks now but I’m not eating at maintenance calories. I just want to make it to Onederland already. I need to stop being so focused on a number!
10/18: 204.0
10/19: 203.1
10/20: 204
10/21: 203

I’ve definitely been emotionally eating.
10/23: 203
Well I hit my goal but not without some bouncing around. I’m not sure how consistent I’ll be next round with logging in due to medical issues but I really love this challenge, the support and accountability it brings!
Total loss this round: 1.3 lbs

10/23- 180.8- Had a nice race yesterday but I also had a nice lunch out with DH as well as a nice late evening with friends filled with spiked hot cider and cupcakes. While I don’t love ending this round on a high note, I do feel like my lifestyle choices have been well rounded and healthy in general.5 -

10/13 - Last round - 178.4
10/14 - 178.0
10/15 - 178.4
10/16 - 177.2 Believe and stick with the plan.
10/17 - 178.4 We went on a big hike so I ate a bit more. Weight up due to sore muscles, salty food, too much food, or all three probably. Not I will just get back on track and I'm sure it will go down again.
10/18 - 177.2 Back on track.
10/19 - 178.0 Crazy! I did have a salty lunch but was within calorie budget. I'm a bit less motivated today but will stay on track.
10/20 - 176.8 🙂
10/21 - DNW - Taking care of 8-month old DGD at her house. Didn’t eat the best. I also didn’t have a lot of time to eat lol.
10/22 - DNW - I’m having so much fun.
10/23 - 175.8 Grandchildren are great weight loss tools. ❤️5 -

10/22 -202.2- (Trend weight 200.6) I polished off the last of the Thai dinner last night. Meals were on track. Uptick is likely from lack of sleep, bloat from no water pill and no TMI. Babysitting today. I’ll keep my meals light and thanks to my DGS, I’ll be getting all my steps and stairs in!
10/23 -202.0- (Trend weight 200.7) My steps and overall calories burned yesterday were above my goals. I honestly thought this drop would be bigger but it is what it is I guess. This was a great goal reaching round for so many. Congrats to all and many thanks to Jaine. See you in the next round.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Still coughing and blowing with a cold, and I just want to sleep, but off I go to walk/run some energy off the pup. Then maybe I’ll go back to bed!
10/15 - 177
Feeling a little better today, so off for a walk with Rory pup.
10/16 - 178
Ooops. Yep, I did some emotional eating, some of it quite salty. Onward.
10/17 - 177.2
Ok, now to drop out of the 77s for good!
10/18 - 176.2
Whoa! That’s a nice surprise! Especially since I made brownie last night and ate one. But I was still close to my calories goal, so all good, I guess. Now to keep going.
10/19 - 176.4
Sticking mostly to the plan, and I’m finally getting my macros closer to recommendations from GenoPalate, which is based on DNA and which recommended I eat more whole carbs and less fat than I was eating. I’m finding it hard to change that balance, but am slowly getting closer. I’m curious to see if it makes an obvious difference.
10/20 - 177
Salty food yesterday, and a little too much of it, I think. And some stress eating. It’s ok.
10/21 - 177
Holding pattern for now. That’s ok.
10/22 - 177.4
Very sad day here yesterday. We had to say goodbye to my beautiful young dog, Rory. He had fear and anxiety issues from his first day here (meaning he had them before I got him), and despite training in multiple dog sports since 10 weeks old, lots of socialization, etc., they just got worse over time. I consulted my vet and a behaviorist this past summer, tried fluoxetine (Prozac) and handling protocols, but he continued to escalate, becoming frightened of things he’s seen all his life here. So we made the terrible decision, with which my vet concurred, and yesterday afternoon we set him free. The demons can’t follow. So yes, I had a comfort dinner. Here he is on a good day.
10/23 - 178.2
I’m up, but a lot of it is water. I indulged in some Dorito therapy yesterday. I never eat that stuff but just had a weird craving and decided to cut myself some slack as I grieve. Back on track today and feeling considerably better, which I’ll attribute to lots of sleep, not the Junk food!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 / 168.4 / Friday is my work from home day. I had my second appointment of the week that verified I no longer need CPAP therapy for sleep apnea after my 120+ pound weight loss. A real victory. Had a nice night with my husband and I need to get to bed soon.
10/15 / 170.2 / Super busy day - brunch with friends, coffee and a walk with my dog and another friend, supper out with my husband and family.
10/16 / 171.8 / Yesterday was a big day of food and I was over on my calories. We had meals out with two different sets of people. I did get my steps in.
10/17 / 169.6 / We had a huge day of biking yesterday and then we stayed up late to watch the taped Bills game. Today was smoking busy at work.. thank goodness it was a work from home day.
10/18 / 169.6
10/19 / 170
10/20 / 171.6 / Since I last checked in I had a busy day in office, a meal out to celebrate my wedding anniversary, one night of business travel which included a massive food and alcohol binge, and well.. here I am. Today is back on track but I need to get out of this yo-yo as my average weight in trending up.
10/21 / 170 / Colder day here today. After work my husband and I have a cooking class together.
10/22 / 169 / Hubby and I had a great time at the cooking class. Today he was volunteering all day so I got some work done, visited a relative in the hospital, went to a movie, and rode the Peloton. Busy day!
10/23 / 168.4 / Proud to have lost this 10 days and excited to move forward in the next 10 as well. Today after on call duties my husband and I are going to watch the Honens piano competition with a supper out in between.2 -
