    I am thrilled with my loss this week. I am even more proud of myself. I love the 80’s but just plan on being in this decade for a short time. It’s been since 2000 since I have seen this weight.

    Have a great Friday!

    So happy for you Linda! You've got this xx

    My next 5km race is tomorrow morning. We are racing through Point Pelee which is the southern most point of Canada. Lol too bad it doesn't make the weather any warmer. It's supposed to feel like just above freezing (2 degrees Celcius/35 Fahrenheit)

    Good luck with the run!

    PW (Previous Weight): 148.6 pounds (lost 1.4 pounds)
    CW (Current Weight): 148.5 pounds (lost 0.1 pounds)

    I am really proud of myself for not gaining this week!
    This week was filled with many difficult medical tests and appointments, all while still dealing with virus symptoms, and trying to figure out which tests/appts to go to and which tests/appts I should cancel and rebook. Went to a walk in clinic today as I can't get rid of my cough and stuffiness/congestion and have been experiencing wheezing which in the past had led to a bronchitis diagnosis. He thought it wasn't bronchitis and whatever virus I had he thinks I'm likely not contagious anymore but that I am dealing with the aftermath of what the virus has done to my body so I have unsuccessfully started using a puffer (first 2 puffs I didn't manage to do correctly) as he thinks my airway might have some swelling/narrowing from the the virus. He still suggested that I wear a mask if I go see my family.

    At the beginning of the week I did not make the best eating choices while dealing with some painful medical tests and health concerns but I got myself back in gear by the end of the week and dropped the weight I had put on at the beginning of the week!

    After 3 weeks of gaining, I have now had SIX weeks of losing! <3
    Down 7.3 pounds in 5 weeks!
    Down 21.5 pounds from my highest weight in 2016.

    So happy to see you succeeding!

    Thankfully not up. Been out of town for work this week so not on plan for most of the week. Must learn how to handle travel and days away from home better.

    I remember the days of being on the road for work. Subway and Harvey’s veggie burgers became my friend. That was early 2000. I lost quiet a bit of weight for my wedding.

    NSV what I've been working for .... my 60th birthday, 8am first in line to the Acropolis, Athens, Greece. Ran up the steps! Had 10 minutes there with no other visitors. Been my dream since i was 14!
    The power of setting goals!

    What a wonderful NSV! I have just over a year before I turn sixty. I hope I reach my goal weight by then. You are an inspiration.

    Sorry, I haven't really posted this week, I've been feeling under the weather. Finally starting to feel better, so my energy and motivation should improve and then I can concentrate more on my weight-loss goals.

    I forgot to mention my NSV on 4/18 ... I went to see my medical Dr and my A1c was 6.2 ( I was over the moon ) previously it was 10.8 :)

    I may not be around much this week ... I might have jury duty (will find out when I call tomorrow evening after 6 pm).... I am crossing my fingers, eyes and toes that I will not have to go in

    Ugh. Why does everyone hate jury duty. I have always wanted to do jury duty. Sigh
