08/29-191.8-(Trend Weight: 196.0)- I took my older friend out for dinner last night at a new little restaurant that opened recently about 16 miles down the road. It’s a little dive because it opened in a very old place that had been closed for 20 years. You can imagine the critter residue as it pretty much sits in the middle of the woods with nothing around it for miles and miles. It took a long time to get through all the inspections and water testing (new well) but it finally opened. In small towns like mine, we like to support small local business and each other so lots of people were there to enjoy and congratulate. It really is a little Andy Griffith-like in small towns like mine so, of course, we had to go. I chose my dinner carefully which kept the calories and carbs down. It was a nice evening. I finally inched my way back into a tiny bit of exercise yesterday after some potty/tummy troubles the last few days. I can feel my guts are still slightly inflamed but at least their not full! It’s raining and gloomy here today so handymen will be shifting gears and working inside. They were originally scheduled to replace a pipe on the roof. I won’t be able to exercise until this evening but will push myself to get it in. I’m usually so tired in the evenings, especially when it’s raining so heavily. It’s dark (need the lights on) and cold. I’m about ready to turn on the heat. Very strange weather in August, even for Michigan.
08/31-191.8-(Trend Weight: 195.2)- 2 lbs down this month. I’m posting late due to the travel to the endocrinologist today for my diabetes. His scale showed that I was down a couple of pounds from my last visit. He was happy to see my glucose numbers on my monitor were better. He reminded me that excess sugars in the blood are stored as fat and when I keep my numbers better, I maintain much better and even lose weight. I needed that reminder. I left feeling very inspired and able. I ate most of my Chicken Alfredo at the restaurant for lunch today. It was so so good. I will finish the rest tonight for dinner so I will be 100% back on plan tomorrow. I will not be snacking tonight since it is already getting late. Tomorrow I have a huge bow window being put in my living room to replace the old picture window that was flanked on each side. I also have to start getting up early on Fridays to drive my kindergarten grandson to the nearby bus stop by 7:20 am. I have to get him up and get him ready for school since I always babysit on Thursday nights and Fridays. Then I will pick him up from the bus stop at about 4:00 pm. I am not looking forward to getting up that early since sleep is already so elusive. It’s not that I can’t handle the 6:30 part (which is when I’ll need to get up). It’s that no matter what time I get up, I seem to need about 2 hours to chill, drink coffee and get ready to see other human beings and be nice. Ah well. Nice round everyone! See you in the next.

My calorie & sodium ranges have been high.
But for the next few days, with meals at home I’ll get that back in control

I've been off Wegovy for 15 days now. My appetite IS coming back but I am eating very mindfully and hope to stick to my current weight of 150 lbs. I am turning 60 this month and really want to live my best life in every way. This means incorporating exercise, meditation, less alcohol, and healthy eating into my daily routine.
Happy September to all!6 -
quick hello to ALL
Update on me
For 3 days, I’ve been back on my IF track, logging 14 hours last night. But I'm still struggling with high calories. Yesterday's indulgences included fresh cherry turnovers and fried chicken. So it's time to apply myself and implement those weight loss skills. Water, veggies, and calm ✅
@SunnyDays930 congratulation on being off your diabetic medications
Did you reverse your diabetes with diet and exercise?
Sorry I missed your health history.
Love

@200Karen I don't have diabetes. Ozempic is for diabetes but Wegovy is prescribed for weight loss, even though they both have the same main ingredient. She gave it to me to get my weight and cholesterol down. So far so good.6

Happy with my WI and tiny release. I got my act together 3-days before WI and off the sodium gain went 🥳 Still need to move my weight plateau down. So for our next week I’ll concentrate on lowering calorie intake, eating 4 veggie servings daily, and revving up my workouts.
Finally with 4 days of clean air and being back outside, I’m feeling so much better. It’s one of my favorite things to do, exploring nature. Seeing all the beauty releases stress and calms me down. A long prayer in motion 💞🙏🏻

Happy September everyone!
I think I missed posting last week but funny enough I maintained the same weight lol I’m setting a 6 week goal to lose 10-12lbs by October 17 as that’s when I go to have blood drawn for my blood sugar which was hovering at 6.0. These past couple of weeks have been challenging with bad food choices but committing to watching my carbs and sugar have resulted in maintaining and I will take that!! Have a great week everyone!

09/05-192.0-(Trend Weight: 194.3)- Another hot humid day here in Michigan. Being surrounded by the largest fresh-water lakes on Earth always brings such humidity! It does feel like Florida again today here. The handymen took the day off due to some doctor appointments they had so I should easily be able to fit in more exercise if the heat doesn’t get to me! Yesterday was a very good day food wise. I got in about 21 minutes on the exercise bike as well late last night. I am zig-zagging my calories and carbs and yesterday was the lowest day planned for this week. I was tempted…..but I kept to my pre-logging plan. I’m glad I did. I’m still striving for those elusive 180’s.

Just realized I forgot to post last Friday. Not sure if I'll have access to my scale later this week so weighed in this morning. The 1.1 lb drop on the scale this morning was a nice little boost to my psyche. It was nice to see the scale go back down for the first time in almost a month. I've been maintaining up/down within 2 lbs either way since May. It'll be nice if I can continue this losing trend.
Have a great week!5
