Thoughts:

Last round I had my normal goal of a 12 pound loss which is approximately 4 lbs per month. That comes to about 90 days leaving the other 10 open for special holidays and social occasions. In theory, it’s a good plan. In practice it is a Mountain to Crawl up. However, each 100 day round I am extremely grateful for any progress I can make, no matter how big or small. I am also grateful for all the support from all of you that I get on a daily basis. Working on my health has become my #1 priority. My main goals are to maintain my remission by staying cancer free and to keep my diabetes in control. Losing weight is key to both goals.

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.

Day 03-04/12—175.2
Day 04-04/13—174.6 Went to get a mani/pedi today which was lovely. Made a terrific seared salmon for dinner with baked potato and am stopping eating right now! No more eating. That’s it. or drinking. Let’s see how it goes.
Day 05-04/14—174.3 Succeeded with the no more eating last night. Also succeeded at moderation at an all-you-can eat buffet today (a ton of fresh vegetables and some fruit as well). Thus far the making good decisions is going well. But I think this downward trend is going to stop soon – I’ve lost all the water weight I’m going to lose. So now the work starts for real.
Day 06-04/15—173.9 Work kicked my butt today. Thankfully Josh and I walked this morning so don’t have to try to exercise right now. Just have to try not to stress-eat the entire fridge and pantry…
Day 07-04/16—174.2 Slight uptick but still met my goal weight so there’s that. Tough migraine day – had to take part of the day off from work today for bed rest. UGH.

Week 1 Goal: 174.7
Week 1 actual weight:174.2

Day 08-04/17—175.2 another partial day at work today due to migraine, and I’m retaining water. Blergh. Between the two not feeling great. At least got out and walked, and I meditated today. That’s something.
Day 09-04/18—175.2 migraine’s eased up and have stabilized with the weight. Now hopefully start to see a downward trend? Meditated again and was very moderate with lunch and breakfast. Will try to maintain for dinner.
Day 10-04/19—175.2
Day 11-04/20—174.7 I’m trying to be kind to myself with having felt so bad this week. I did have a ”woke myself up laughing” moment that I’m sure you’ll appreciate… I dreamt that I had gone into the office and was looking at a menu to pick out lunch. You know you’re counting calories IRL when your pick’s a clam chowder bread bowl with a bloomin’ onion topper!
Day 12-04/21—173.9 went to a cheeseburger party yesterday and did well with moderation (just one burger, limited sides, didn’t go bananas when in front of the potato chips although could have. Then came home and didn’t continue eating because I wasn’t hungry. Victory!
Day 13-04/22—174.4 another rough migraine day today.
Day 14-04/23—174.7 Just going to have to get myself together for next week.

Week 2 Goal: 173.7
Week 2 actual weight: 174.7

Day 15-04/24—176.1 Okay, so I blacked out and when I came to, I had eaten a full meal from Arby’s. in itself it wasn’t too bad calorie-wise, but sodium-wise it was devastating. Going out to play trivia at a local tavern and will get a moderate bowl – but still regretting last night.
Day 16-04/25—174.7 Better today.
Day 17-04/26—174.8
Day 18-04/27—174.1 Tasty dinner tonight – grilled chicken and roasted veggies. Mmm.

Day 22-05/01—173.8 Last night went out to Texas Roadhouse and had a semi-decadent dinner (ate bread and a full-fat side Caesar salad, but had the grilled chicken as a main). Going to try to be better today.
Day 23-05/02—173.0
Day 24-05/03—172.6 So doing a better job of limiting calories at the end of the night. It’s really hard but it’s working thus far. Weekend ahead will be a real test though. Snacking is a problem. A real, real problem. Let’s see… What is my work? my work is not eating when i'm not hungry. Can that be a thing? a double negative? it's really my failing - i eat because things taste good. kind of the WORST reason to eat!
Day 25-05/04—171.8 At heart I’m a glutton, which is why I’m the size I am. I’ll be sitting around, and all of a sudden, I’ll think – “You know what’d be great right now? Buttered popcorn”. Or in the grocery store, passing the deli section, thinking “I know those wings taste pretty good; maybe grab a few for the drive home.” Even though wings are definitely not on my shopping list. It’s an ongoing struggle. Trying to find healthy things that also taste good – or stopping eating at a reasonable point – is a real challenge!
Day 26-05/05—172.5
Day 27-05/06—171.6
Day 28-05/07—172.4 Long day today and frustrating wobbling around this weight. Hopefully next week helps see me shake it off. Have plans to go out for Mexican food for dinner so going to try to rein it in and be controlled – no chips/salsa, moderate main, no alcohol. That’s the plan, let’s see how it goes! I’ll report back in tomorrow. 😊

Week 4 Goal: 172.7
Week 4 actual weight: 172.4

Day 29-05/08—172.4 Okay, mixed success at the Mexican restaurant yesterday. Did do some grazing on chips and salsa but had a fairly responsible main (grilled chicken/chipotle sauce, black beans). It was a ton of sodium, though, which is why I think the scale did what it did.
Day 30-05/09—172.4 And hit a plateau. Got to try to get off this level but it will be hard with a couple nice meals ahead with my mom and my mother-in-law this weekend. Have to stay focused and not just go bonkers on carbs!
Day 31-05/10—172.7 Damnit. When I wanted to move off the plateau I didn’t mean in this direction.
Day 32-05/11—172.5 Happy Mother’s Day! I’ll be happy if I come out of this weekend without having gained weight – with two big meals with the two families… it’s a lot of eating!
Day 33-05/12—172.3 Okay, no weight gain. I’ll take it.
Day 34-05/13—173.4 There’s the weight gain. Was waiting for that. I did eat quite a bit this weekend. And a lot of sodium for dinner last night. This week is going to be a rough one. Going to have to adjust all my goals…
Day 35-05/14—173.0

Week 5 Goal: 170.7
Week 5 actual weight: 173.0

Day 36-05/15—173.0
Day 37-05/16—171.0 yesterday had a horrible migraine. The nausea was so bad that I got super dehydrated and barely ate anything. So I think this dip is completely artificial. Still feel awful today. Bleh.
Day 38-05/17—170.9 slowly getting better from this migraine. Still very nauseated. Just trying to take it easy.
Day 39-05/18—170.7 had a lovely piece of salmon for dinner tonight. Mmm.
Day 40-05/19—170.7 Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I’ve been doing some work, so lots of computer time (just like during the week). While I’ve been super productive, it’s been a bit on the sedentary side. Josh and I have a vacation coming up – we’re going to Reno. We’re going to spend our days out in nature, hiking, and our nights at the casinos. I’m really looking forward to it. Is it weird to pack a scale to bring on vacation? I mean I’ll have space in my checked luggage. But maybe a few days of “DNW” won’t hurt me either. I’ll have to mull this one over. My goal is to not gain weight during the vacation. I’m under no illusions – I am not going to lose any. But not gaining would be nice, given the drinking and decadent food options there will (presumably) be.
Day 41-05/20—170.9 okay was a tad irresponsible last night with the pizza dinner but at least kept servings reasonable. So there was that? It’s also my birthday week so there’s going to be more eating out and lots of temptation. Wish me luck! And I'm definitely going to consider taking the scale on vacation. it may help to "keep me honest". :-)
Day 42-05/21—169.8

Day 43--05/22—170.0 Late night meeting for work today. Bleh.
Day 44—05/23—169.4 It’s my Birthday! I turned 45 today 😊 We’re going out for celebratory dinner… hopefully will hold it together.
Day 45—05/24—168.7 Had a lovely day yesterday! Now we’re getting ready for our vacation next week. Will be travelling to Reno for gambling and nature. 😊
Day 46—05/25—167.9 Start of my vacation! We don’t leave until Tuesday, so plenty of time to pack and prepare. And rest! It’s nice to have time to relax around the house.
Day 47—05/26—168.5
Day 48—05/27—167.5 Okay, I decided I’m not packing my scale for the vacation as that’d be more stressful than relaxing (plus my scale is very heavy). So I’ve got a few DNW days coming up. My plan is to enjoy myself moderately – not go crazy overboard but not be too restrictive either. We’re going to be getting some exercise while birding, and if we don’t get enough, we’ll continue our daily walks. Reno’s supposed to have some great parks and a nice riverfront. I’m really looking forward to the change in environment.
Day 49—05/28—167.4 Vacation day! Our flight leaves this evening.

Day 66—06/14—165.0 Yikes! Not sure where that came from but going to keep with the plan.
Day 67--06/15—164.5 Happy Saturday, folks! So glad it’s the weekend for some rest and relaxation. We’re walking earlier and earlier these days due to the heat and humidity – it’s pretty darn hot here in North Carolina – but it’s nice to get the exercise out of the way earlier. Feels like we accomplished something! My doctor says I need to incorporate heavier exercise in, and I realized how much of a weakling I was when I tried to lift my 40 pound luggage, so I’m going to try to incorporate weights into the routine. I do have a free membership at a gym and all. Just have not made it in “lately”.
Day 68—06/16—163.7 Okay so it’s been an eating-based weekend. Had dinner with my parents yesterday, and going to have lunch with Josh’s parents today. I did pretty well at dinner but still ate more than I could have. Going to try to keep it under control for today…
Day 69—06/17—163.9 well, I’m glad I didn’t go up more than I did. All the food-related visits this weekend was sure to catch up to me. It’s going to be a very stressful week – I have so many important meetings for work – so I’m not looking forward to it at all.

Day 73—06/21—162.8 Happy Friday y’all! About darn time. Have to do some work this weekend but still looking forward to the relaxation and relative rest. It’s supposed to be record-breaking levels of hot this weekend, so will have to go exercise early in the day.
Day 74—06/22—161.7 Okay so spent most of today working. And there’s more to do tomorrow. But at least I can relax a little for the rest of the day. Have to decide what to make for dinner tonight.
Day 75—06/23—162.6 had a “snacking” day yesterday which resulted in the gain. Have to try to control myself. I guess that’s what happens when you go grocery shopping while hungry. One another note, going to try picking up watercoloring again. May start with a “paint by numbers” kit to ease into the experience.
Day 76—06/24—162.6 lilylady3K OMG I am so inspired to pick up painting back up! I love the calendar with the thumbnails of your projects (that vase of daisies is on point!).

Unfortunately I set myself up to work some this weekend, but hopefully I’ll be able to focus and grind it out without too much fuss. I have a paint-by-numbers kit coming at some point, which I’m very excited about!
Day 81—06/29—161.3
Day 82—06/30—161.0 lilylady3k That's the big question, isn't it? One I'm hoping to find the answer to. Last time I did a 100 days challenge I did lose weight, but I ended up regaining almost all of it. I don't know if that means the answer for me is to keep doing these challenges to "keep myself honest" or find some hidden reserve in me that doesn't overeat. I guess the longer term solution is to find that hidden reserve. so still trying to figure out maintenance.
Day 83—07/01—161.8 Have had a hard time with snacking on empty calories. We’re talking eating croutons. CMON DARIN you can do better than this.

Day 85—07/03—161.0 I’m on vacation! No work for the next 4 days. I’m super excited! Also going to a family reunion/pool party tomorrow 😊 Another pool party on Saturday. So lots to look forward to. I haven’t put on a swimsuit since I went on the cruise in February, so excited to see if any of them fit differently…
Day 86—07/04—160.4 Okay, so the family reunion was shifted to tomorrow. Boo! At least it wasn’t cancelled outright. Happy 4th of July to the Americans! I hope you have lots of fun and see great fireworks and your animals aren’t too scared because random explosions nearby. Last night Josh and I went out to trivia and got 3rd place. As it turns out, my memory for American history is not that great. And I took an Advanced Placement class in that…. Thirty years ago. Anywho, we had a lot of fun nonetheless.
Day 87--07/05—160.9 going on that road trip to see family today. Haven’t seen them in at least a year, so it’ll be great to hang out and chat.
Day 88—07/06—161.2 Okay did a ton of snacking yesterday. Did okay at dinner but the snacking just killed me. There was a bowl of mee krob (Thai fried sticky noodles) and I just couldn’t stop eating it. I mean it’s basically like potato chips, but sweet and savory at the same time. Anywho, another pool party today. My lower back is acting up – I get sciatica from time to time – and I’m not sure going out and socializing is the answer… or is it?
Day 89—07/07—161.5 and the pool party was fun – but I ate way too much, and the scale is showing it. I did get some exercise paddling around but not nearly enough to offset the cake, and chips, and pizza. And deviled eggs, which I love. Well that’s the last pool partying for a while so I can get myself back in line, hopefully. But this week was a bust. At least it was fun.
Day 90—07/08—162.4
Day 91—07/09—161.7 It’s been a bit discouraging to see this week’s results, but I’ll keep going and try not to throw out all the progress…

Week 13 Goal: 158.7
Week 13 actual: 161.7
WEEK 13 LOSS OR GAIN: +0.7
Accumulated Loss or Gain: -15.0

Day 92—07/10—160.6 Definitely was hump day today. Already have been overeating and snacking. Need to rein it in for the rest of the day.
Day 93—07/11—159.9 We got 3rd place in trivia last night! And my paint-by-numbers kit came in the mail (I’m going to start it this weekend). I’m also going to go donate platelets on Saturday morning; it’s been a while since I’ve gone in to donate.
Day 94—07/12—160.2 Happy Friday! I’m excited for the weekend.
Day 95—07/13—160.3 I started my paint-by-numbers kit! It was fun, although I had failed to remember that my hands shake doing fine detail work, so there’s definitely an element of “letting small mistakes go”.
Day 96—07/14—160.5
Day 97—07/15—160.5
Day 98—07/16—161.0 Got to finish this 100 days strong! It’s been discouraging lately but I’m trying to keep on keeping on…
