Mind if I join? I could really use the accountability. I was here before, last year, and doing well but I fell off the wagon 😞.
History:
52 year old woman, 5’7”
1990s—120s.
2000s—140s.
2008–160s.
2012, my 1st diet—230.8, got down to 180s then relapsed.
2021–212.6. Got down to 159.2.
CW—185.8.
GW—145
Day 24–12/19 start 185.8
Day 25–12/20–185.0
Day 26–12/21–184.0. Looks like I had more water on board than I thought. I expect the loss to decelerate once I’m done getting rid of the water weight.🫤
Day 27–12/22–182.4.
Day 28–12/23–181.8
Week 4 goal: 184.7 (-1.1)
Progress to goal: -4.0
Day 29–12/24–182.4–very busy shift last night, no water intake. Tonight doesn’t look much better, three nurses short. Gotta find a way to get the water in, though.
Day 30–12/25–181.0–better. Got the water in and didn’t have time to do too much damage with the pot luck at work last night.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 51: 01/15 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water … this is becoming a bad habit. No exercise but I did cut back the dead plants in the yard before they start to flush out again then I went shopping with my sister. Unplanned wine in the evening.
Day 52: 01/16 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water but I did drink more water, walked 1 mile, 2 glasses wine.
Day 53: 01/17 - 232.4 - WHOA! Did NOT Journal nor track water but did drink more water. AF. I’m starting to sound like a broken record. Strength Training class for 1 hour then 2-3 hours of yard work. Ended up soaking in the bath and then using a heating pad on my back. But felt lovely in the evening and went out to meet my book club for dinner. Starting my food journal TODAY!
Day 54: 01/18 - 231.8 - Still not tracking water and food. AF, no exercise. Teaching ESL, read, shopped, etc. Productive day except for getting myself back on plan.
Day 55: 01/19 - 231.2 - No journal. AF last night skipping margaritas at book club, walk 1.3 miles.
Day 56: 01/20 - 230.1 - No journal, wine, water. Granddaughter duty for the entire day then a nap before dining out with friends.
Day 57: 01/21 -

101 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Nov 26, 2022 Starting Date
My Name is Donna, Age 62. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
My mini-challenge is to lose 10 pounds by Easter 2023. I started my efforts on Dec. 10th weighing 198.4. My wish is to weigh 188.4 by Easter April 9th, 2023. That gives me about 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds easy but, trust me, it won’t be. Especially when outside exercise is so limited for me this slippery time of year!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
Goal This Round: 181.2
Starting Weight (from End of Last Challenge): : 196.2
Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.Day 01-11/26-196.6-(Trend weight 198.1) My day one starts immediately on the day following the final day of the last challenge. It will end on March 6th with everyone else but that will make it 101 days for me.

Day 56-01/20-196.8-(Trend weight 198.0) Well….that non-banner day on Wednesday has shown up I suppose. Yesterday was all within calorie and carb goal. 40 minutes of exercise bike and food spread out nice and evenly throughout the day. My daughter and DGS are back until late Sunday evening. I pushed her cheesecake onto her and DGS. I made sugar-free jello for me and my son. Hadn’t had it in awhile. Yum! I allowed for a dollop of redi-whip in the can (only 1 carb). I’ll be making this more often I think. It was very satisfying.

@deepwoodslady
I eat sugar free jello pretty much every night, with very low cal cool whip sort of stuff. I make a whole package into one bowl, and always have 3 or 4 made and ready in the fridge. Right now it has been Strawberry and Raspberry, the cherry one is harder to find, but it is good too.
Which flavour do you like?
It last me I feel like 1/2 hour while I am watching some HGTV show or another. I think that it is 20 calories, I have it in my tracker so just click on it with 3-6 tablespoons of the whip. Apparently gelatin is good for the hair and nails?2 -
Mini challenge by Donna, December 10-April 9th
December 10th weight: 143.2 (but I was 141.8 the following day so I might use that)
1st Week Goal Weight - 139.9
1st Week Actual Weight - 141.2 Started the week at 142.2
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4738 - average over 7 days 834
2nd Week Goal Weight - 141.0
2nd Week Actual Weight - 142.2 - Started the week at 143.0
Excess calories burned (in the green): Forgot to add this earlier - 4948 = 706.85 average over 7 days.
3rd Week Goal Weight: 139.4 - (Ambitious)
3rd Week Actual Weight: 144.2 - Somehow put on 3 pounds while down sick for 1 day! Started the week at 142.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 6063 = 866.14 average over 7 days - Really big calorie burn this past week except for the day that I was sick
4th Week Goal Weight: 139.6 - (Ambitious)
4th Week Actual Weight: 143.8 - Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green): 3563 = 509 average over 7 days
5th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Not likely with holiday eating, but going to plunk in this number until I hit it. Turned out that Turkey dinners carefully portioned actually lost me weight this week.
5th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 - Started the week at 143.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 4496 = 642 average over 7 days.
6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 145.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 986 - Even 1150 eating days didn't give me much excess because of low exercise during my sore ankle and subsequent steroid injection into it.
7th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
7th Week Actual Weight: 143.6 Started the week at 144.2. I had Ribs, and may have them one more time during this 100
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2762, 394.7 average over 7 days, I know that this needs to be higher to lose weight. Ankle is getting there, so hopefully soon I can get back to it.
Day 50 – 1/15 - 143.8 - Not too much fallout from the Ribs. I took out a Mumbai chicken breast for dinner later, will have potato (or rice) and veg with it. I seem to do well during the weekdays with my weight and then it jumps on the weekends. I need to address that I suppose, I do generally indulge in a bit of "bad" stuff on Friday nights, I don't get the steps in on the weekends like I do on weekdays from waitressing, although I do work out more on the weekends. I want to do a workout with weights every Saturday, I did yesterday. The weather has been awful here, 5-7C the last few days, puddles on top of ice, huge ruts in the icy road where it has melted weird. Definitely no trails or anything. There is public skating today, I may try to go. Ankle is sore today, so we'll see.
Day 51 – 1/16 - 144.2 - Ouch. Continued fallout from the weekend. No split shifts this week (so far) so hoping to get this down fast. Cooking veggies for 2 nights of dinners this morning.
Day 52 – 1/17 - 143.4 - I had souvlaki marinated pork, 2 veggies and a bit of potato. Delicious. Going to have that again tonight, or I might make some palak paneer. I am also ready to do another batch of jambalaya/gumbo with a new (to me) type of sausage, Hungarian. I have lots of my own peppers and tomatoes frozen, plus lots of onions and garlic left from my garden, shredded chicken and prawns are also in the freezer ready to go into it.
Day 53 – 1/18 - 143.6 - I didn't end up cooking after work yesterday, but I have lots and lots of food in the freezer that I pre-portioned after all of that harvest cooking that I did before closing my garden for the winter.
Day 54 – 1/19 - 143.4 - Bad ankle flare up in bed last night, so low on sleep this morning. As of this week no more split shifts for the foreseeable future. I went to public skating (33 minutes I lasted) for the first time since the steroid shot. I really hope that they aren't related and that it is just the steroid slow release attacking the inflammation. There was supposed to be a steroid "flare" in the first 48 hours, which I didn't get. Going to take it as easy as I can today, although I need at least a few dance songs to loosen up the rest of my body to prepare for the workday.
Day 55 – 1/20 - 142.4 - I slept longer than usual, so that might account for the drop. I took Tylenol PM last night since my ankle kept me awake all of Wednesday night after skating : - ( Short shift today and then I will try to stay off of it for the most part. I really really want to do the public skating at the arena on Sunday, but ankle is very sore.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 51: 01/15 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water … this is becoming a bad habit. No exercise but I did cut back the dead plants in the yard before they start to flush out again then I went shopping with my sister. Unplanned wine in the evening.
Day 52: 01/16 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water but I did drink more water, walked 1 mile, 2 glasses wine.
Day 53: 01/17 - 232.4 - WHOA! Did NOT Journal nor track water but did drink more water. AF. I’m starting to sound like a broken record. Strength Training class for 1 hour then 2-3 hours of yard work. Ended up soaking in the bath and then using a heating pad on my back. But felt lovely in the evening and went out to meet my book club for dinner. Starting my food journal TODAY!
Day 54: 01/18 - 231.8 - Still not tracking water and food. AF, no exercise. Teaching ESL, read, shopped, etc. Productive day except for getting myself back on plan.
Day 55: 01/19 - 231.2 - No journal. AF last night skipping margaritas at book club, walk 1.3 miles.
Day 56: 01/20 - 230.1 - No journal, wine, water. Granddaughter duty for the entire day then a nap before dining out with friends.
Day 57: 01/21 - 230.9 - No journal, drinks (bourbon & Diet Coke), water, Strength Training 1 hour … hmmmm my food was not that bad so I’m wondering if I had hidden calories or if it was left over from the pasta the night before.
8th Week Goal Weight - 228.x

@dawnbgethealthy - I love anything with olives and those looked yummy!
I made Italian Wedding Soup for dinner. I was really tasty. Planning to give some to my sister today since she will be watching our dog while DH & I run out of town for the day. Also giving some to someone needing a meal on my church's Meals That Heal program.
Recipe:

Instead of the 1/2 pork 1/2 beef … I bought Johnsonville Italian sausage and made the small bitesize meatballs with that using the recipe. Instead of browning in the pan with oil … I baked the meatballs in the oven flipping them multiple times over about 10-15 min at 350. Added another can of chicken broth because I cooked longer and needed extra fluid.4 -

I eat sugar free jello pretty much every night, with very low cal cool whip sort of stuff. I make a whole package into one bowl, and always have 3 or 4 made and ready in the fridge. Right now it has been Strawberry and Raspberry, the cherry one is harder to find, but it is good too.
Which flavour do you like?
It last me I feel like 1/2 hour while I am watching some HGTV show or another. I think that it is 20 calories, I have it in my tracker so just click on it with 3-6 tablespoons of the whip. Apparently gelatin is good for the hair and nails?
@dawnbgethealthy I forgot about gelatin being good for the hair and nails, but you are right, it really is! A definite plus for me since I struggle with that since the cancer/chemo. My favorite is raspberry, I use redi-whip in the can as it has low calorie and carb, or light cool whip (any brand). Out of the small box I get four servings (you get about 5 if it's not the sugar-free box), and I put the four portions in my fancy little dessert cups covered with foil. It feels very rewarding, fancy and sophisticated eating it out of those pretty little dishes. Like a reward for a banner day. It is cold like ice cream and so light and refreshing. And for me, it is a safe food (no bones, seeds, veins, gristle etc.). It's even a little creamy because of the whipped cream. If our friends here haven't made jello at home lately, I mentioned it because I wanted to share my newest secret weapon (LOL). What a treat! Each serving is 5 calories and 0 carbs. How perfect is that?1 -

101 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Nov 26, 2022 Starting Date
My Name is Donna, Age 62. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
My mini-challenge is to lose 10 pounds by Easter 2023. I started my efforts on Dec. 10th weighing 198.4. My wish is to weigh 188.4 by Easter April 9th, 2023. That gives me about 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds easy but, trust me, it won’t be. Especially when outside exercise is so limited for me this slippery time of year!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

Yesterday was all within calorie and carb goal. 40 minutes of exercise bike and food spread out nice and evenly throughout the day. My daughter and DGS are back until late Sunday evening. I pushed her cheesecake onto her and DGS. I made sugar-free jello for me and my son. Hadn’t had it in awhile. Yum! I allowed for a dollop of redi-whip in the can (only 1 carb). I’ll be making this more often I think. It was very satisfying.
WEEK 8 LOSS OR GAIN: 1.0 lb GAIN
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 0.6 GAIN
Day 57-01/21-196.4-(Trend weight 197.8) I started Challenge #14 on an almost two pound overnight drop in weight, so it’s been a challenge keeping up with that. This week I’ve found that Pre-logging my food is really helping. In the morn (or the night before) I plan all my meals & snacks and I don’t eat until I am actually pretty hungry. Then, when I need to quickly eat I don’t just randomly grab something fast & furious. I grab what’s pre-planned on the menu so I can still eat easily and quickly. Then, It’s like a no-brainer meal or snack and fits into my time schedule very well too. Of course, the pre-logging also makes sure that it all fits into my macros properly, and I’m pre-advised if I need an item or ingredient from the store so there are no surprises. I really LOVE how well this helps. I just need to not abandon the practice like I sometimes do. I’ve got to stay committed and focused. I’m trying to come up with a better freezer system to support easy pre-planned meals. This week I used the @dawnbgethealthy method and bought my chicken breast, trimmed it and cut in into smaller portions and got it so nicely and conveniently in the freezer so it’s easy to grab one to thaw in the morning. Instant protein and so many ways to cook it! Thanks Dawn! Countdown to Easter. Listen up 10 pounds: I'm coming for ya!

Mind if I join? I could really use the accountability. I was here before, last year, and doing well but I fell off the wagon 😞.
History:
52 year old woman, 5’7”
1990s—120s.
2000s—140s.
2008–160s.
2012, my 1st diet—230.8, got down to 180s then relapsed.
2021–212.6. Got down to 159.2.
CW—185.8.
GW—145
Day 24–12/19 start 185.8
Day 25–12/20–185.0
Day 26–12/21–184.0. Looks like I had more water on board than I thought. I expect the loss to decelerate once I’m done getting rid of the water weight.🫤
Day 27–12/22–182.4.
Day 28–12/23–181.8

Day 53: Tues, 1/17: 145.6 - Up two pounds. Maybe due to a high sodium dinner last night? Also had 1 glass of red wine, although I'm not sure if that was a contributing factor in my weight increase.

I love Italian Wedding soup. I know a woman who makes it without cooking the meatballs, they cook in the soup.
Pre-logging becomes a habit after 3 weeks?
@deepwoodslady
I am with you, I am grossed out by bones (except Ribs), gristle, and fat, veins. Yuck.
Yes, chicken breasts are so very versatile!2 -
Mini challenge by Donna, December 10-April 9th
December 10th weight: 143.2 (but I was 141.8 the following day so I might use that)
1st Week Goal Weight - 139.9
1st Week Actual Weight - 141.2 Started the week at 142.2
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4738 - average over 7 days 834
2nd Week Goal Weight - 141.0
2nd Week Actual Weight - 142.2 - Started the week at 143.0
Excess calories burned (in the green): Forgot to add this earlier - 4948 = 706.85 average over 7 days.
3rd Week Goal Weight: 139.4 - (Ambitious)
3rd Week Actual Weight: 144.2 - Somehow put on 3 pounds while down sick for 1 day! Started the week at 142.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 6063 = 866.14 average over 7 days - Really big calorie burn this past week except for the day that I was sick
4th Week Goal Weight: 139.6 - (Ambitious)
4th Week Actual Weight: 143.8 - Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green): 3563 = 509 average over 7 days
5th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Not likely with holiday eating, but going to plunk in this number until I hit it. Turned out that Turkey dinners carefully portioned actually lost me weight this week.
5th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 - Started the week at 143.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 4496 = 642 average over 7 days.
6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 145.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 986 - Even 1150 eating days didn't give me much excess because of low exercise during my sore ankle and subsequent steroid injection into it.
7th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
7th Week Actual Weight: 143.6 Started the week at 144.2. I had Ribs, and may have them one more time during this 100
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2762, 394.7 average over 7 days, I know that this needs to be higher to lose weight. Ankle is getting there, so hopefully soon I can get back to it.
Day 50 – 1/15 - 143.8 - Not too much fallout from the Ribs. I took out a Mumbai chicken breast for dinner later, will have potato (or rice) and veg with it. I seem to do well during the weekdays with my weight and then it jumps on the weekends. I need to address that I suppose, I do generally indulge in a bit of "bad" stuff on Friday nights, I don't get the steps in on the weekends like I do on weekdays from waitressing, although I do work out more on the weekends. I want to do a workout with weights every Saturday, I did yesterday. The weather has been awful here, 5-7C the last few days, puddles on top of ice, huge ruts in the icy road where it has melted weird. Definitely no trails or anything. There is public skating today, I may try to go. Ankle is sore today, so we'll see.
Day 51 – 1/16 - 144.2 - Ouch. Continued fallout from the weekend. No split shifts this week (so far) so hoping to get this down fast. Cooking veggies for 2 nights of dinners this morning.
Day 52 – 1/17 - 143.4 - I had souvlaki marinated pork, 2 veggies and a bit of potato. Delicious. Going to have that again tonight, or I might make some palak paneer. I am also ready to do another batch of jambalaya/gumbo with a new (to me) type of sausage, Hungarian. I have lots of my own peppers and tomatoes frozen, plus lots of onions and garlic left from my garden, shredded chicken and prawns are also in the freezer ready to go into it.
Day 53 – 1/18 - 143.6 - I didn't end up cooking after work yesterday, but I have lots and lots of food in the freezer that I pre-portioned after all of that harvest cooking that I did before closing my garden for the winter.
Day 54 – 1/19 - 143.4 - Bad ankle flare up in bed last night, so low on sleep this morning. As of this week no more split shifts for the foreseeable future. I went to public skating (33 minutes I lasted) for the first time since the steroid shot. I really hope that they aren't related and that it is just the steroid slow release attacking the inflammation. There was supposed to be a steroid "flare" in the first 48 hours, which I didn't get. Going to take it as easy as I can today, although I need at least a few dance songs to loosen up the rest of my body to prepare for the workday.
Day 55 – 1/20 - 142.4 - I slept longer than usual, so that might account for the drop. I took Tylenol PM last night since my ankle kept me awake all of Wednesday night after skating : - ( Short shift today and then I will try to stay off of it for the most part. I really really want to do the public skating at the arena on Sunday, but ankle is very sore.
Day 56 – 1/22 - 142.8 - Meeting with some girlfriends prior to a Theatre production of Cabaret tonight. Going to try to keep it reasonable on the calorie front.
8th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
8th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 143.8
Excess calories burned (In the green): I will figure this out after today's numbers

101 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Nov 26, 2022 Starting Date
My Name is Donna, Age 62. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
My mini-challenge is to lose 10 pounds by Easter 2023. I started my efforts on Dec. 10th weighing 198.4. My wish is to weigh 188.4 by Easter April 9th, 2023. That gives me about 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds easy but, trust me, it won’t be. Especially when outside exercise is so limited for me this slippery time of year!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

Day 57-01/21-196.4-(Trend weight 197.8) I started Challenge #14 on an almost two pound overnight drop in weight, so it’s been a challenge keeping up with that. This week I’ve found that Pre-logging my food is really helping. In the morn (or the night before) I plan all my meals & snacks and I don’t eat until I am actually pretty hungry. Then, when I need to quickly eat I don’t just randomly grab something fast & furious. I grab what’s pre-planned on the menu so I can still eat easily and quickly. Then, It’s like a no-brainer meal or snack and fits into my time schedule very well too. Of course, the pre-logging also makes sure that it all fits into my macros properly, and I’m pre-advised if I need an item or ingredient from the store so there are no surprises. I really LOVE how well this helps. I just need to not abandon the practice like I sometimes do. I’ve got to stay committed and focused. I’m trying to come up with a better freezer system to support easy pre-planned meals. This week I used the dawn b get healthy method and bought my chicken breast, trimmed it and cut in into smaller portions and got it so nicely and conveniently in the freezer so it’s easy to grab one to thaw in the morning. Instant protein and so many ways to cook it! Thanks Dawn! Countdown to Easter. Listen up 10 pounds: I'm coming for ya!
Day 58-01/22-197.4-(Trend weight 197.8) Feb 9th (approximately 2 ½ weeks from now) is the halfway point of the 10 pounds in 4 months challenge. I don’t know if my weight will be halfway there (5 pound loss), but I’m going to give it the old college try. Marking the 190’s off my scratch sheet above AND being in the 180’s for the first time in a long time seems like a dream, but dreams can come true! I’ve just got to keep stepping up my game one tweak at a time. Most people aim to lose 2 pounds per week. We are only aiming for 2.5 pounds per month. We got this, right? Let’s keep going! This pep talk is to remind you all the WE CAN DO IT.
An uptick on my scale this morning from homemade chicken noodle soup. The wide egg noodles got me in the carb department but I had a super low carb breakfast and no lunch to help offset so that kept it a bit under control. I’ve frozen a bunch of it so I don’t keep eating it for days in a row, but there will be leftovers for tonight. I’ll tweak my whole day for it again. Good habits matter, right?
@dawnbgethealthy I bought some of the konjac noodles for spaghetti. Last time I tried them I had a very difficult time stomaching them due to the fishy smell, even after rinsing them well. I am willing to try again. I also found some spaghetti noodles pre-made (like the konjac) of palm hearts. I'll try those too. I'll share what I think on both of them when I use them.

Day 52: Mon, 1/16: 143.9
Day 53: Tues, 1/17: 145.6 - Up two pounds. Maybe due to a high sodium dinner last night? Also had 1 glass of red wine, although I'm not sure if that was a contributing factor in my weight increase.

Day 56: Fri, 1/20: 143.8

Day 58: Sun, 1/22: 143.8 - 4th day no change in weight. I did have potato chips and a McDouble from McDonald's yesterday, so I guess I should be happy my weight didn't go up.

Mind if I join? I could really use the accountability. I was here before, last year, and doing well but I fell off the wagon 😞.

Oh my, I don't like fishy smells (or fish). I did think that those Kanjac noodles smelled a little mushroomy before rinsing. Maybe some brands moreso than others. It really depends what sauce you have them with I guess. I for sure like them with pesto that I make from my garden, with a skinless boneless chicken breast that I cut up into pieces while mostly frozen, since I can't handle cutting thawed or fresh chicken breast, plus it is just easier to cut into pieces while frozen. I find that I only need about a 1/4 tablespoon of butter to brown them in a non stick pan, then add whatever spices or sauces and the rinsed kanjac-y style noodles. The whole package is only 10 calories, so it makes a very big plate or bowl of the stuff.
Good on you for making room in your calories for homemade egg noodle soup, and for freezing some also for a quick meal.2 -

Excess calories burned (In the green): 4496 = 642 average over 7 days.
6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 145.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 986 - Even 1150 eating days didn't give me much excess because of low exercise during my sore ankle and subsequent steroid injection into it.

7th Week Actual Weight: 143.6 Started the week at 144.2. I had Ribs, and may have them one more time during this 100
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2762, 394.7 average over 7 days, I know that this needs to be higher to lose weight. Ankle is getting there, so hopefully soon I can get back to it.

8th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 143.8

Day 57 – 1/23 - 143.6 - Very late in posting today. I gain weight every weekend. Someone please remind me to make the end of my week like Thursdays next 100. I do workouts on the weekends, but don't get the 400+ steps from waitressing in. Also I haven't had any trail walks/skis because of the weather conditions (puddles on top of ice) and my sore ankle. It was a good weekend, got out to the Theatre Saturday night for a production of "Cabaret". We are due for the weather to become colder here soon, so more ice. That makes it easier for me to handle having to take it easy on my sore ankle in hopes that the steroid will kick in over the next few weeks.
Day 58 – 1/24
Day 59 – 1/25
Day 60 – 1/26
Day 61 – 1/27
Day 62 – 1/28
Day 63 – 1/29
