I had been very discouraged over the last several days. I've been taking the stairs at work, weighing food, going for a 3 mile walk/jog every other night and just being on-it. The scale each morning was up over 201+. I decided to just ignore that since I KNEW I was doing the things. Today I had to blink 3 times when I saw the number. I'm taking it, as I truly don't think it is a fluke.

I'm convincing myself that the couple of treats ON Christmas will taste even better if I've stuck-to this.

Good luck y'all--I feel like I'm in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Way to go!

Thank you! This week I held myself firm to my calorie counts and deficits. Added in extra walking and movement.
Trying to put some extra work in now ahead of the holiday, so Christmas doesn’t bite me so hard lol

Looking forward to finishing up 2023 strong. Looking forward to saying goodbye to the sixties forever. Best of luck to everyone. I look forward to seeing all the great victories this month. Lets do this!

December 1: 261.4
December 8: 261.0 Not much progress. Had a birthday but didn't get crazy. averaging 8600 steps a day. Next week I will be traveling ughhhh. The fight is real.
December 15: 260.0 I was pleasantly surprised when I returned from my trip having had less control on some of my eating options; I actually lost a pound. I will take that anytime I can get it. Maybe next week I will get back in the fifties club. I'm sure the sixties club people will be happy to see me go because I have been there a longggggggggg time.

Total loss for December: Up 2.8 pounds over three days and up 1.6 pounds just in one day today, but overall down for the week and down almost four pounds for the month. Some of this is because I was sick, but I also have been working at it. It looks like I am actually back into my goal range again for sure. I will keep it here and I might lower that range again to where it was pre-COVID.

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.

12/03-182.0-(Trend Weight: 181.9)-

12/10-179.6-(Trend Weight: 180.7)- I’ve been sticking to my diet plan pretty good but I’ve been incredibly sick (non-covid). I just can’t shake it and have to wonder if I haven’t had pneumonia. I live so far from a hospital or anywhere that would have an x-ray machine and I just haven’t felt like traveling. My appetite has been just fine so the struggle continues, but my exercise has been practically non-existent since any exertion makes it hard to breathe. With that said, I’m happy with my progress over the past week. I was worried what would happen when I couldn’t “burn it off”. Luckily, I’m not baking for the holidays yet since I’m too germy. Once I start that, all bets may be off. I feel pretty strong in my resolve most of the time, but put me near a bag of sugar and I morph into something I’m rarely proud of. Let’s hope this year will be different. But honestly, I just don’t see myself EVER thinking homemade fudge is no big deal or that freshly baked cookies are not that tempting. Oh, I have so many changes that I need to make!

12/17-178.6-(Trend Weight: 179.6)- Well, I was doing a little better earlier in the week but I’m starting to slide down that slippery holiday slope. I am still down 1 full pound from last week but I will not make goal if I don’t start getting some control. The hard part of the month is yet to come! I will say, however, that I was finally able to feel comfortable enough in the 170’s to cross off the 180’s on my colorful chart below. My BMI also went from obese to overweight and that was a very long and arduous fight! I’m proud of what I’ve been able to do in 2023, especially in the second half. Oh, but the road ahead is still a very long and bumpy one. Still so far to go!

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
