    YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE: 154 on the 28th of September
    YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: 15 pounds
    I'm challenging myself to eat at home, no restaurant food unless it's a social thing and then I'm allowed a drink/small appetizer. 😋

    October 2: 153
    October 9:152 It's progress! 😁
    October 16:152 Went off track while on mini vacation this week and ate at a lot of restaurants! Back to it today...
    October 23:152
    October 30:155 Had a fun weekend! Hope this is just a temporary weight gain. Maybe it will even out by next week!
    November 4:153 😵‍💫
    November 13: Back to 152!
    November 20: 151 I walked just about all day on Saturday. We can finally go hiking here in the Southern US without worrying about ticks/bugs! 💕
    November 27: 151 🌽🦃

    *I did stick to my goal, in November, of not eating at a restaurant unless it was social and then just getting an appetizer and drink! I'm going to try this in 2024, too..plus add a few changes at home.*

    I was traveling by car (4500 miles) for the last week 12/3-12/10. So not much chance for exercise and a little more of a challenge to "be good". Regardless, it was a great week and much was accomplished. I was on my annual mission/pilgrimage to help distribute the Peacelight in the US.
    See Peacelight North America for an idea of what I was doing.

    12/01-181.4-(Trend Weight: 181.9)-

    12/04-181.0-(Trend Weight: 181.8)- I am so incredibly sick right now. But it’s not affecting my stomach so I am still having to be very careful of what I eat. I’m trying hard not to eat comfort foods (which are all primarily bad carbs) because I feel sorry for myself. My chest is so full of phlegm. I can barely get off the couch. Yesterday I got a total of 911 steps and did not hit my 250 steps in any hour of the 13 rings. If December catches me, it’s going to swallow me whole. Trying to stay ahead of it but it’s so hard when I’m feeling this weak. It’s the Last Thing I Needed In The Month Of December. I can watch what I eat but I can’t burn anything off so it’s all in but nothing out in the form of expenditure.

    12/11-178.8-(Trend Weight: 180.6)- Hitting 178 point anything puts me at my lowest weight in 5 ½ yrs so I have officially made it. Even though it is by the skin of my teeth, I am over the moon. This week I also dropped from Obese to Overweight on the BMI charts. I feel like real progress is being made toward my health goals. I know my weight is going to fluctuate up and down over 180 and under again during these holidays, but I feel like my dietary plan and fitness plan are working for me so I really feel on the right path and prepared for my future. I have been most excited about how much better my blood sugars are doing. It’s the season for tinsel and presents. Is there any better gift we can give ourselves than the gift of health? It’s been very hard work, but I’m getting somewhere finally. I don’t have a hope in Haites that I’ll make my challenge goal with all the upcoming festivities and holidays, but the path is before me and goes way beyond December, so it’s going to be okay.

    I have covid. I guess you guys have probably also down graded it to another influenza like thing. But it's not fun to have. The other house humans walk the dog and I don't think they do it long enough. So I feel guilty.

    Some weight loss. It wasn't there yesterday so I guess it's time of month related. Not sure when in the last month I actually lost it because it was not this weekend because I have been busy trying to see if chocolate and the walking dead cure covid. There has been no actual walking.

    MFP(MY FITNESS PAL): Highest weight ever, around 160
    YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE: 154 on the 28th of September
    YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: 15 pounds
    I'm challenging myself to eat at home, no restaurant food unless it's a social thing and then I'm allowed a drink/small appetizer. 😋

    October 2: 153
    October 9:152 It's progress! 😁
    October 16:152 Went off track while on mini vacation this week and ate at a lot of restaurants! Back to it today...
    October 23:152
    October 30:155 Had a fun weekend! Hope this is just a temporary weight gain. Maybe it will even out by next week!
    November 4:153 😵‍💫
    November 13: Back to 152!
    November 20: 151 I walked just about all day on Saturday. We can finally go hiking here in the Southern US without worrying about ticks/bugs! 💕
    November 27: 151 🌽🦃

    *I did stick to my goal, in November, of not eating at a restaurant unless it was social and then just getting an appetizer and drink! I'm going to try this in 2024, too..plus add a few changes at home.*

    December 4: 150
    December 11:153

    Chinese lo mein is dangerous 😋

    December 18: 150
    If I'm below 150lbs despite the holidays, I'll consider this challenge a win!

I know my weight is going to fluctuate up and down over 180 and under again during these holidays, but I feel like my dietary plan and fitness plan are working for me so I really feel on the right path and prepared for my future. I have been most excited about how much better my blood sugars are doing. It’s the season for tinsel and presents. Is there any better gift we can give ourselves than the gift of health? It’s been very hard work, but I’m getting somewhere finally.
