I'm down 2.6.

I had a good week in that my head was in the game. Last week, I stated goals of 300 calories of junk food for the week and drinking more water. I did much better on both but was still a bit over on the junk food, and water should be even more. I tracked every day which was helpful.

We're headed on vacation next week, and I'm stating my intention to lose weight while away. (I used to do that on the old GOAD board, and I found it helpful for accountability.) We'll be with a group in Airbnbs, and I think if I can keep mindless snacking and cocktails under control, I'll be okay. I'm usually fine with restaurant meals. An important thing for me is to start the day with intention. I plan to track.

Have a great weekend!

Like Steve, I found some of the weight the rest of you lost.

I ended 2023 with a thud rather than a bang, I’m afraid. Last Friday started with some unexpected company for dinner and a lack of restraint in choices. Okay, that happens. But I let it continue through Sunday. There was nothing special about what I ate; it was just a lack of restraint about whether I should or shouldn’t have something. My choices added up to 209 points over three days, and my daily budget is 90 points for the same period.

As a result, my Thursday evening weigh-in this week was 0.4# into the Yellow Zone. That means I’m currently limiting myself to the boundary formerly known as the healthy eating range - no more than ten points beyond my daily points on any given day. That’s hardly punitive, but it’s enough to right the ship over the next week. And in the plus side, while I wandered into Yellow, that Thursday weigh-in was a “successful” weigh-in within goal for another month.

Just another reminder that I’m still capable of the poor choices that got me here in the first place. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Emmie - rooting for you on vacation. 👍🏻
