Despite Christmas, I managed to lose some weight and I can't wait to get below the 250 next week.

I've now lost a total of 25 lbs since June.

I can definitely tell the difference now that I'm on Ozempic. Normally I get two helpings during Christmas dinner, but this time I had only one helping and a smaller one at that.

I also didn't crave the holiday candy as much, so that's also a major win.

Yesterday I bought a Blendjet blender and used it to make a really nice smoothie this morning with Greek yogurt, apple juice, blueberries and a banana. Next time, I think I will add some chia seeds, but have to buy those first 😊

I hope everyone's recovered from Christmas.

Stay safe for those of you living in the snowstorm covered areas in the US.

Hello team!

Those who celebrate, I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas. I have been away visiting family and got home yesterday evening. I had quite a challenging time with my weight loss journey over this past month. I have had a small gain ( 3 Lbs) but I’m gonna get back on this now and get that number back down. Today I am meeting with our Karate sensei and a couple of the other karatékas to do a small session. Tomorrow I will go to the gym and just slowly get back on my normal workout schedule. The hardest part will be the eating. I have the bad habit of shoving food in my mouth whether I’m hungry or not so I’m gonna be working in that lol. Gosh the mindless eating is bad!

Hope you are all doing well. I will try to check in more often moving forward. Hugs everyone !

In the past I've dieted, lost weight, stopped dieting and then found it impossible to start dieting again (you know the one where you start on Monday and give up on Wednesday.and you've suddenly gained all that weight back!!)
Well I've had a bad week, binge ate every day, gained 10lb and then ..... something just clicked in my head ... I just know I don't want to regain 90lb!
Monday i started dieting again, and wow ..... I'm so happy to be back in control of my food and feel so much better without all that stodge! I've realised this is actually how I want to eat!

Great job getting on track. I was just discussing with my daughter how I need to get serious again. I really didn’t care for my pictures in the Dominican. My biggest problem is I snack out of boredom in the evenings.

Fantastic loss! Congrats on reaching 25 pounds.

Positive is you are still in onderland. Now that you are back to normal eating your small gain will drop.

12/25 11899 - hike with mother in law

12/27 10893 - hike in Bandelier National Monument

2023 is the year of hiking for me! Just ordered a little notebook so I can log my hikes and purchased the All Trails app. Excited to do some long hikes!

Have you set a step or mile goal for the year. I believe it was @tahm42 who did 2022 miles in 2022.

I think as few of us gained over the holidays. The mindless (bored) eating gets me in the evenings.

I apologize for not posting yesterday. I got up posted the weight reminders and went back to bed. I had a bad headache. I still have one today but not quite as bad. I will go to the pool later if it settles down. Unfortunately, I had to cancel a couple of appointments yesterday and one was my massage. I am surprised that I met my step goal yesterday. I am going to try to beware of moving more today.

Have a great Thursday!
