My highest was 5+. It took 2 weeks to lose, but was worth it! I wanted to ask: have you tried preplanning nights out? I keep a short list of goto's, but try to check out drink and menu options ahead of time if I can. I eat a little lighter the day before, and give myself up to 2000 calories to enjoy. Learned (one time too many!!) as long as I don't OD on the carb and sugar crack, a 1-3 # gain should balance out within a day or two. Just something to think about
We got this though ... slips but no stopping.
I normally try to pre-plan when we go out, when I know where we are going. The main thing that gets me is when I'm traveling. It's like it all goes out the window and I'm like, well it's just for the weekend but in reality it takes a week or so to get back to normal. Thank you for your ideas- those are great points!

4/6 DNW--Out of town—lots of walking and fly fishing, vacation food
4/7 DNW--Out of town—Hiked to Anna Ruby Falls, vacation food
4/8 DNW—Out of town—most of the day in the car, back on track with food, though. I expect a gain tomorrow, but it’ll be ok. I’ll work it back down.
4/9 181.4 WooHoo! Right where I started before vacation. We did try to be careful in our choices and split some entrees, etc, and were very active, so I guess it worked out. Now to keep on track and make a downward move by the end of the round.
4/10 180.4 Hoping this can continue. I really need to get back to real exercise. Weather has been nasty the last few days, so we are pinned up inside most of the time.
4/11 179.2 Happy about this. Hope I can stay under 180, but that's not what usually happens. Takes a few days (or longer) to stay under for good. Fingers crossed! Did yoga last night to get back in the groove with exercise. Still so much rain!
4/12 179.4 Took a walk in the neighborhood last night until the rains soaked us, so I came home and finished with a Leslie Sansone Walk at Home video. Had a salad with salmon on top tonight instead of something that could have been a salt bomb at a favorite restaurant tonight. Hoping not to bounce but I know it’s a very real possibility.
4/13 179.2 sure am hoping I can stay here or below until the end of the round!

🎷 65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 256 (my 186th). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; to lose! To be consistent and lose something. Takes me up to the day before I officially become an OAP! How can that be I can’t possibly be that old – I feel much much younger 😊.
Good luck everyone for a successful round.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

4/6 141.8 – (trend 141.3) – again no structured walking as attended funeral of an elderly aunt (94), she was the last of her generation, so a sobering thought for me is that now I am the oldest of my paternal side of the family!!
4/7 141.8 – (trend 141.4) need a move downwards now! 9.85 miles walked, all but 13 exercise calories eaten back. Getting some walking in today will be a challenge with Storm Kathleen around.
4/8 140.4 – (trend 141.3) – yes! The drop I was waiting for! 8.61 miles walked, less than 20% of exercise calories eaten back.
4/9 140.4 - (trend 141.2) pleased this number has stuck, 9.34 miles walked, 20% exercise calories eaten back.
4/10 140.4 – (trend 141.1) – only managed 5.77 miles walking with the persistent driving rain & wind. When will this rain ever stop!
4/11 140.4 (trend 141) - 9.59 miles walked 40% exercise calories eaten back.
4/12 141.4 – (trend 141) no structured walking; childminding little DGS.
4/13 141.4 – (trend 141.1), 11.97 miles walked all + exercise calories eaten back which I recon will show it’s ugly number tomorrow ☹
4/14 142.2 – (trend 141.2) 5.66 miles and 54 flights of stair yesterday around Warwick Castle, 200 calories over.

@Chapter_3I join the crowd here for not wanting to post, but I posted it anyway simply to share what we all experience. Inexplicable.
Carolyn, I don't know what it is either-this morning I was up for no reason as well! Maybe it's gravitational pull from the eclipse!

I will take this scale reading after my German feast last night at the German American Society. I even had a piece of German Chocolate cake. (is that even really German?) Even so, my calorie budget was busted by only a little bit. How many times can I write the word German?
Thanks @quiltingjaine for setting it up the round. This one takes us to Tax Day. Our last entry should be postmarked by midnight.
4/7: 224
/logged; Exercised; 45 oz water fiasco/
This is the residual effect of the past two days of too much salt and not enough water. Out shopping with DW yesterday and we decided to stop for some Vietnamese food. I had a “small” bowl of Pho. It was actually huge. Though very reasonable in calories, it was very high in sodium. And delicious.
Did some nervous noshing during basketball games.
My exercise was mowing the grass, hauling yard waste, plus some functional lifting of boat batteries. Those batteries get heavier every year.
4/8: 223
/logged food; exercised; 75 oz water/
Maybe I can eventually get back to my starting weight this round. Yesterday I was very good. If I can do two good days back to back…
4/9: 224.0
/logged; exercised; 66 oz water/
Though I met my food goals with calories, the specifics were not good. Who thinks a “breakfast skillet” at a restaurant is a good idea anyway? Come on Jeff!
Yesterday’s highlight was the total eclipse that traversed the US. What a creation we live in! We are a 4-hour drive away from the path of totality, so we passed on that experience. Traffic promised to be a bear. Even so, the sun was reduced to a tiny “fingernail clipping” at our location. Still pretty light outside, but kind of dingy and gloomy feeling. We had zero cloud cover so we could see it all with our special glasses.
4/10: 222.2
/logged; exercised; 75 oz water/
OK, just a hair under the starting weight for the round. The past two weather days have been glorious!
4/11: 221.6
/logged; exercised; 64 oz water/
I just can’t seem to ingest enough water…
Rotary lunch today. It’s a minefield because the caterer does a fantastic job. There are always good choices available if I desire to be healthy. Always a good salad and fruit. The unhealthy choices are very tempting usually, such as dessert or some salty savory starch dish.
4/12: 220.2
/logged; exercised; 64 oz water/
Well, what do you know, I reached goal number four. Can I use this as a catalyst for further change? Or will it give me an excuse to cheat a little bit since I “have been so good?” I guess it depends on the condition of my self esteem seasoned with wisdom. Probably a little bit of both catalyst and cheating.
Fun fact: the last time I weighed this amount was around September 21, 2023. Scale reading popped back up right after that. I MUST keep my eyes on my OGW, and not get complacent.
Easier said than done.

Missed posting yesterday. You would think I would want to get on here and brag ASAP. Ha! I managed to cobble a few good days in a row, and on a weekend no less. I would love to end this round under 220, but I am so close to the line my body functions will likely decide. And, that’s ok.
I just need to leave the jar of peanuts in the pantry while I sit and watch the Masters golf tournament final round.

4/7 ⚖️131.9 Today: all the above plus a little work, 📿rope & 📝 Habit Mechanic. Still out of sorts but getting back in the groove.
4/8 131.2
🎾 🙆♀️🤸🏼🏋️♀️🚶♀️📿💦 📝✅
Still not “feeling” the “healthy & fit” …. I keep reminding myself that I am NOT my thoughts or my feelings. Somehow I was successful in completing all of my round commitments yesterday even though I felt an internal braking system gnawing at me to stop & piddle. NSV: But I somehow pushed through it. Took every ounce of energy. Thank God. ✅Hit macros. Yes, I’m counting again.
That unavoidable, awful, worrisome, emotional family issue is currently at full throttle & front & center. …. All of my joy gets sucked out. Takes tons of energy to even TRY to stay positive. I conquered the internal battle yesterday by simply “doing” the commitments. ✅. Didn’t even feel good about it… Just blah.
But…. I do get to see my DGS today… Have not seen him since 4/27. I cannot wait! He sure is a sight for sore eyes. A full day of my “to do” list shall be completed before I pick him up. Today: Will fake it till I make it …
Let’s go stretch…. Onward.
4/9 DNW 🙆♀️🤸🏼🏋️♀️🚶♀️📿💦 📝✅
Rained all day. No tennis but ✅ everything else and macros. Only 10 min of 🏋️♀️but it was a good 10 min. I’m thinking I’m not eating enough.… Will eat extra protein today.
I definitely managed my mood better yesterday than the day before. Was able to change worrisome thoughts successfully throughout the day. Staying mindful & present is KEY. Oh, enjoyed BIGtime my grandson yesterday-God’s gift to me. ❤️
NSV: Catching unhelpful thoughts quickly is slowly becoming a helpful habit.
4/10 130.9
Fake it till u make it actually worked yesterday. Managed to get it all done except 📿. Able to stay “in the present” most of the day. Spent too much time w/🎾.
My day was made fabulous with two hours spent with my DGS. We played basketball and went for a walk to the nearby stadium to watch high school track&field. He was mesmerized! We practiced the long-jump!
Today: All schools are canceled because of severe weather. I’ll be home working on taxes, work and completing my “Healthy & Fit” ✅ list.
NOTE: My sleep patterns are in complete disarray. I’ve been up since 4:30 & positive my cortisol levels are high from stress. Practicing mindful breathing helps a lot but sleep sucks. Onward!
NSV: slowly accomplishing my goals because let’s face it, how many MawMaws out there can practice the long jump with their DGS?! 😎💪🏻❤️
4/11 Thunderstorms & severe weather all day yesterday. My neighborhood ok. Used the day for taxes /work. At computer eight hours. Nothing else got done.
Today: will eat right& ✅ my list. (Work @ clients office & dinner with friends. ).
4/12✅ day!!! Managed to accomplish ✅healthy & fit list.
NSV: Working with client is going better than I had imagined. Our time spent is of value to both. I’m enjoying it! I’m giving part credit to “feeling” good. I’m feeling strong- perhaps this Improves my self-confidence and delivery… Go figure!
Played basketball with DGS for about 45 min, 🏋️♀️for 45 min… Laughed so hard! I was just a little short on steps, so DH& I walked to dinner (Gorgeous evening)! ✅ 10k! But….. FORGOT HM &📿!
BTW: Our friends know that I have a special “WOE” … hard cheeses for app& served me (just me) baked/roasted chicken w rosemary & garlic, & perfect avocado on the side…. Delicious!
Found out my girlfriend has a girlfriend with the same “condition” with veggies & leafy greens…. I’m not alone! Felt good to talk about it with someone who gets it.
Today: 🎾😎 & ✅ will have perfect weather and DGS!
4/13 ⚖️133.4 Jumping on the scale conundrum and joining several others this round with true shock. THREE pounds? I’ll drink more water than usual today. I did eat later than usual last night…. And, I’m still not sleeping well? Stress? These are all rhetorical questions because I know it’s timing and not real weight. So we journey on.
I join the crowd here for not wanting to post, but I posted it anyway simply to share what we all experience. Inexplicable.
I’ll throw this out though – I sure wish I had an inexplicable 3 pound drop!!!! That has never happened!
Today- no tennis but all else is planned. Extra long walk this morn to take in a gorgeous day!
📿🏋️♀️😎.
4/14 132.4lbs ⚖️ still settling from whatever is going on inside me…. Walked 6 mi then the rotten family stuff altered & RUINED my entire day. Will do my best to refocus today- emotionally exhausted. Glad I have 🎾 this afternoon & will 🙆♀️🚶♀️🏋️♀️& 📿this morn. Fake it till you make it.
EDIT:This journey of mine is full of joy when everything is going my way, and there is time to take care of me… Routine and self discipline bring contentment and momentum… Learning to handle major disruptions and detours is KEY to “Healthy & Fit”.
Reading through everyone’s posts from yesterday, truly inspired me just now. I WILL be more positive today…. Life too short & I want to be 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻. Learning to change my thought patterns will be key today.
Sending 💕❤️💕 and hope to all!

About me, WOE & Health Journey
****************************
F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean MAD 🥩. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.
WOE since 7/2023: Whole Foods. No processed foods. Animal-based proteins. EGGS, Beef, pork, chicken, seafood, venison and grass-fed whey protein. I count macros & kcals - always will. (Since portion control is my issue). Keto is high-fat but I’m now leaning lower healthy animal fats with leaner proteins. I had paralyzing IBS for 20 years. My mother was diagnosed with celiac’s disease in her 50’s. Following her lead, I eliminated wheat, oat, barley, and rye several years ago…. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter - an occasional Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for a few days… I do enjoy berries, lemons, limes. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be a social drinker and would enjoy a good martini/scotch or Paloma at home while cooking dinner. NO MORE. Root of many evils. Primarily, the destruction of will power and the enemy of optimal choices. I’d rather journey toward my best-self. I haven’t given up alcohol completely, but I enjoy it sparingly on special occasions. This is me. I finally feel terrific.
History:
I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since at least high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - NEVER EVER- no matter my weight.
Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- up to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
Many different diets each decade!
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.135/140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs in 2010. 130lbs by end of 2014.
2020 (Age 62) 130-135lbs
7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs
UGW = 129-130lbs
⬆️SMM: 100lbs +
BF% : 23%
Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take serious control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 11/15/2014. Weight @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Six years!
Another 🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.
8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 10/30 - held 130lbs till 2/1/23.
2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much. My nutrition has always been somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was THE issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130ish determined to…. STOP the 🎢 & be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣
The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.
I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE - to enjoy my “Senior” years to my fullest.
While active with 🚶♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST 🏋️♀️🤸🏼routine was absent. Strength & balance are 💯most important now. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️♀️ 🙆♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus. I want healthy/fit choices to be my first nature.
Cumulative Round Results

4/14- 186.2 I knew when I posted yesterday morning that the up swing was coming because we had reservations for dinner. I made excellent choices and thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful meal with carbs, cocktails and dessert.
I have to say I was surprised at how so many people looked like they rolled out of bed or just came in from doing yard work. I mean I definitely walk my dogs in my pj’s, run to the grocery store in paint stained sweats and for goodness sakes I own a gardening business- I run around the county absolute filthy!!!
But this was a nice meal in a lovely setting- actual fine dining. Why not clean up a bit- I’m not saying tuxedos and ballgowns but maybe not sweatpants and t-shirts????
Am I just out of touch? I get the “don’t look like you’re trying to hard” and I love casual elegance but at least half of the other diners just looked like slobs.
Truthfully I should just “keep my eyes on my own paper” and have a “you do you” attitude. But just so you know I’m over here eating my crab cake, quietly judging the dirty crocs and “Jimbo’s Plumbing and Heating” Tees.
I think I just channeled my grandmother!!! Rant over.5 -
CHALLENGE:
This group is overflowing with strong & reflective peeps. I’m that one at the dinner party that throws out a “deep” philosophical question to ponder…
So…. Please, if you accept, “At what point in your life did weight become “a thing” and WHY? Real reasons only…. Answer here in R256 or R257 or ignore the challenge. This might be against the rules @quiltingjaine….?! But knowing WHEN & WHY is important to the journey.

Female 60 years old
It's been a while since I've been here, but decided to focus on weight loss again and this has always been a helpful tool for me. Lost 30 pounds last spring. then gained a few of those back. Have kept up my daily walks, but need to concentrate on nutrition. Trying to get in the 60's by my son's wedding at the end of April..

4/6 174.4 Did great all day until we went out last night and I had a piece of pizza. I was happy to see a loss. Lunch at a mexican restaurant tomorrow and eclipse party Monday......
4/7 174.4 We are meeting friends for brunch at a mexican resaurant today. No chips or margaritas for me!
4/8 174.8 Only had 4 chips and drank water instead of a margarita...but drank wine later with my husband on the beach and watched a boat parade. Probably worth it.....

4/11 173.9 Nice drop! Trying to avoid most social situations until the wedding. Still baking cookies so there is still temptation to taste...Having my cataract removed today!
4/12 173.3 Ok..so yesterday's drop wasn't a fluke. Didn't walk yesterday because of cataract surgery, but will get at it today...no running or too much exertion though. Need to keep on track over the weekend.
4/13 173.5
4/14 173.3 My sister was in town and I didn't gain weight, so that's a plus. Having to tone down my walk and not walk up big hills for a few more days because of the cataract surgery. It's so nice to be able to see clearly, at least out of one eye!

RND 256 Other than the goals I already have set, this round I'm aiming for no cheat days!4/6 174.2 Yesterday marked my 50th day of this challenge. Yay! Was hoping for better results but some of that is my fault. I've really got to do better if I want this weight off by summer. Met all goals yesterday. It's really starting to get beautiful out so I'm enjoying my walks so much. We live near the riverwalk, so I'm going to start walking more out there too. The scenery and wildlife is beautiful and its crazy how much it changes my mood when I'm out there. Hoping for a better round this time. Good luck everyone!4/12 171.7 Almost the weekend. We will be going turkey hunting in the morning. I enjoy being out in nature this time of the year and we will be doing lots of walking. Only thing that I'll need to watch is hubby likes to go out to eat after lol. I have been making better choices at restaurants though so I will plan to eat as healthy as I can.
4/7 173.5 There we go- almost at starting weight for last round. Took almost a week to get the weight back off from last weekend. Lots of walking and outdoor activities yesterday. Was so beautiful out. Loving the spring weather here. Hope y'all have a great day!
4/8 174.2 Too much sodium with dinner. Stuck with my goals though. Need to drink plenty of water today.
4/9 172.6 I started a challenge on the 1st of this month where I need to exercise at least 20 minutes a day and stay within my calorie with my calorie budget. Yesterday was the 8th day in a row of doing all 😃. Plan to keep it going through April. There are pass days if needed, but I really need this push. In May I'll be traveling the 9th-12th to Kentucky (an 8 hr drive 😳) and then towards the end of May we'll have our family beach trip. I'm sure those will set me back some so this month I've got to put in extra effort.
4/10 172.0 Another great day yesterday. Only thing that I wasn't pleased with was all the sodium with dinner (tacos). Took a hot hot bath after dinner. Not sure if that helps 🤣 but possibly? Just happy to see my weight going down though! Nice to know the self discipline is paying off.
4/11 171.7 Another good day yesterday 😃. Loving how much better my clothes are fitting. (And some of them now too big)
4/13 172.8 Not sure how accurate this is since I weighed at 4:30 this morning, and barely got any sleep last night. Thats ok though. My sleep overall has been pretty decent lately other than that. Hope everyone has a good weekend! Been busy for me already but a good day so far.
4/14 172.2 Met all goals yesterday again- can't believe we are almost finished with another 10 days!

DH made prepackaged (read salty) dinners the past two nights and I feel waterlogged. Other than that, I’ve been eating responsibly. 😊

We had a great view of the eclipse from our backyard—all but total here. It’s the third one I’ve seen. Beautiful. We’re having gorgeous weather, which of course makes me want to jump the gun on planting things, but we’re a month away from final frost day so I’m trying to restrain myself. Lots of other garden work to do, though—yay! outdoor exercise! Have a lovely day, everyone!

I spent about 2 hours yesterday digging up brick edging from a bed we’re putting back in grass and relocating them to another part of the garden. I thought I’d be sore this morning, but nope, all good. It’s supposed to rain from tonight through Fri night, so I’m going to do a little more “garden infrastructure “ work this morning, them agility class with Charlie this afternoon. It’s a moving sort of day! Enjoy your hump day, all!
4/11 - 194.6
I just realized I never checked in this morning. Oh, well, better late…. My friend took this pic of me and Charlie at agility class yesterday, waiting for our turn in the ring. Thought I’d share. 😊

Cold and rainy today, but then it’s supposed to warm up for the rest of the week. Yay! I’m looking forward to getting more garden work done, and some nice walks.
4/13 - 194.6
Sleepy this morning. I stayed up way too late reading. Oh, well, that’s what naps are for! Happy Saturday!
4/14 - 194.6
I ate a bit too much yesterday but also did quite a bit of work in the garden, so all good. Slowly slowly.

4/6 - DNW Out of town visiting my mom. Did eat some sugar here yesterday, so hard to resist. Was slightly over calorie goal.
4/7 - DNW Drove back home this afternoon and took a little nap. So far today I’ve been good. A lot of gardening yesterday helping my mom with spring cleanup. At our rate it will be mid summer before we get it all finished, I visit her every other weekend.
4/8 - 208.4 Well I’m a bit disappointed that it went up this high and I was watching what I ate. After posting this I will preplan my food for the day.
4/9 207.2 Yesterday was great with keeping calories managed and then we went for a walk around the lake, .6 of a mile but still a nice little walk. Trying to strengthen the knee but not overdo it, surgery on July 15.
4/10 205.8 Much the same as yesterday. Ate under calorie goal and went for a walk. Almost gave in and ate some pretzels but I drank some water instead. Today was grocery shopping and I bought mostly produce, trying to stay away from carbs.
4/11 205.8 Same weight as yesterday. Stayed under calorie goal but didn’t get a walk in. Hopefully that will happen today.
4/12 205.4 Slightly surprised but very happy with this loss. My youngest DD is a third grade teacher. Her school had a fundraiser at a local pizza place. My older DD and I ordered two small pizzas, a salad, garlic bread and a Coke for me and a Sprite for DD and a chocolate chip cookie for DD. I ate 1/3 of the salad and two pieces of pizza and drank the Coke. I discovered that yes I can control myself with pizza. We brought home lots of leftovers which we will finish off over the weekend.
4/13 205.2 Every time the weight goes down I’m surprised but still very pleased. I wasn’t sure about today since I had a small portion of spaghetti last night. I’m trying hard to stay away from carbs.
4/14 204 Well I wasn’t expecting such a big loss. I didn’t feel well yesterday and didn’t eat much, I have a head cold. I’m going to church this morning but not singing in the choir. I plan to watch a lot of TV today and may get some sewing in. Rest, rest, rest!

. But just so you know I’m over here eating my crab cake, quietly judging the dirty crocs and “Jimbo’s Plumbing and Heating” Tees.
I think I just channeled my grandmother!!! Rant over.
I noticed the same thing on the recent cruises. My DH doesn’t like to play “dress up” but our jeans and shirts are clean and free of holes. What really got to me was seeing people walk through the buffet in “bathing suits” and “coverups” which left nothing to the imagination.CHALLENGE:
This group is overflowing with strong & reflective peeps. I’m that one at the dinner party that throws out a “deep” philosophical question to ponder…
So…. Please, if you accept, “At what point in your life did weight become “a thing” and WHY? Real reasons only…. Answer here in R256 or R257 or ignore the challenge. This might be against the rules @quiltingjaine….?! But knowing WHEN & WHY is important to the journey.
#WHEN.WHY.WEIGHT.IS.A.THING
There are no rules except those imposed by the website.🤦♀️😘
I honestly don’t know the answer to that question. The first time I REMEMBER someone mentioning my size was when my grandfather died. My mom and I were looking for a dress for me to wear to his funeral. The sales lady looked at me and directed us to the “Chubettes” area. I was 9 1/2.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

4/6 137.0 🤷♀️ Today I’ll make something from the leftover rotisserie chicken.
4/7 137.0 I forgot about the pool opening party yesterday so the chicken will wait. Today Great Greek. Due to cruise and company, it’s been almost a month! I need a Greek fix!
4/8 136.5 Today I will make the crack chicken casserole I had intended to make on Saturday.
4/9 135.0
4/10 135.0 Semi-annual doctor visit. Meeting the NP/PA instead of the doctor. Maybe she will not have decided the entire content of the visit before walking into the room.
4/11 135.0 I like the new NP. Hoping to get off Fosamax and move to something that builds bone. Need to see a specialist.
4/12 135.0 I was short on protein yesterday so had some leftover chicken breast which I salted. Drank gallons of water so I may be retaining. I have been logging this week and am waiting for a drop. Last night DH said he wanted to go to Golden Corral again today. I hated to tell him that I don’t. (RANT: He’s had a rough week because of a complaint by a community resident that he has “ violated his fiduciary duties“ but no specifics given. She demanded an apology or retraction. The board decided what he needed to do while we were on our cruises and told him to what he needed to respond. He wrote his response and read it at the meeting on Wednesday night. One of the other board members said he was surprised that DH was even able to read his statement. I’m not even sure what that means! Another member stated that the previous board had violated the law by voting to spend $167K on a project without involving the homeowners AS REQUIRED BY LAW. (RANT OVER)
4/13 135.0 Okay, I’m ready for a drop no matter how slight. Today is small salad and steak at Great Greek on a Saturday!
4/14 135.5 🤷♀️ Absolutely no explanation. Maybe water? I have been drinking a LOT.3
