    Beautiful photos from your walk!
    Where is this geographically?

    @deepwoodslady
    You do walks down to the river, I would love to see some photos of that place.

    Great photos!
    That show, The Six, sounds really great!

    I know that cocktail, we used to call it an Iron Butterfly, and now call it a Mudslide.

    Peggy's Cove looks so ethereal with the dense fog.

    What a fantastic trip that you had!!

    Trips create memories : - )

    Oh, I love Cabbage soup/stew!
    I haven't had it in eons.
    I must remember to make some this winter.

    I like it with bits of hot italian sausage, potatoes, peppers, onions, and caraway seeds in it.

    @dawnbgethealthy Thank you! I live in the Netherlands a short bike distance away from a national park called Dwingelderveld. I am very lucky to have nature so close by. :smile:

    I am so sorry to hear about your sister's health. My, has she EVER BEEN THROUGH IT! As you know, I am also a breast cancer survivor but she was much more advanced than I. It's a rough road for sure! I will be saying prayers for a complete healing on her new problems. She is a fighter and that is the best medicine!

    Thanks for sharing the pics with us. You also have such a wonderful eye for Photography. I could look at beautiful pics ALL DAY.

    100 Days of Weighing In #21 ^^^^^ October 27th, 2024 thru February 3rd, 2025

    “We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou


    My Name is Donna, Age 64. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
    Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 191.6
    Goal This Round: 179.6
    Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx


    Previous Rounds Tally & Thoughts:
    I am Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired. I mean, I am LITERALLY both Sick with many ailments and Tired of putting myself through this back & forth! I weighed 181.6 on January 1st, 2024. This has not been a good year for me. How much progress I can make in November, December and January is very very questionable, at the very least. Those months are riddled with holidays, baking pies and cakes, making cookies and fudge. Lots of decadent dishes high in calories and carbs. And lots of shopping excursions away from home which always include restaurants and long car rides. So many celebrations including multiple family birthdays as well! These are the hardest months of the year for most of us. But I’m not throwing in the towel just yet!. I will do ALL I can, As I can, When I can. Life is going to happen and I will definitely live it, but there are lots of days where progress can still be made and/or damages can be mitigated. I must stay steadfast and strong in my resolve. This is about my health journey, not just my weight journey. I will not give up based on what month the calendar page is on!

    Round #1 --- 199,8
    Round #2 --- 186.8
    Round #3 --- 195.6
    Round #4 --- 211.0
    Round #5 --- 211.3
    Round #6 --- 205.4
    Round #7 --- 207.6
    Round #8 --- 195.2
    Round #9 --- 185.2
    Round #10—195.2
    Round #11---200.8
    Round #12---200.4
    Round #13---196.2
    Round #14---191.2
    Round #15---194.0
    Round #16---188.0
    Round #17---183.8
    Round #18---182.2
    Round #19---188.6
    Round #20---191.6
    Round #21---xxxxx



    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s





    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 01-10/27-191.6-(Trend weight 192.1) Yesterday was a lazy day of rest. No progress on the scale since yesterday likely due to the extra meal I threw in last night at about 10:30 pm. A turkey and avocado sandwich on low carb / low calorie bread. It was “approved” food but put me over my calorie and carb limit so I’m grateful for no big jump on the scale. Today my son & I will go out-of-town to pick up things for the grandchildren’s “special” Halloween goodie bags. There is a new restaurant that folks are raving about that we will try later for dinner that is just a little further Southeast of that town. I will try to order responsibly and Certainly No Dessert! However, I will still expect a bump up tomorrow due to fluid retention. Not just from the restaurant meal but from all the sitting too. I have those nasty circulation problems which causes the fluids to pool around my ankles and not get pushed out easily. I’ll work on that issue tomorrow when I’m home. Good luck everyone this round. This is the round that can be the most challenging of the entire year due to all the food holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Together….anything is possible!

    Day 02-10/28-192.2-(Trend weight 192.2) An expected uptick from the travel and new restaurant. It was very nice that my oldest daughter and her partner decided to meet us. Food was good. I brought half home and ate it last night for dinner although it was very late.

    @dawnbgethealthy I haven't walked the trails along the river in quite some time. The river is beautiful but the trails are not groomed very well and its a bit irritating. However, I love nature enough to overlook that most of the time. Just not lately. BTW, love your costume pics. You always do such a nice job with makeup!

    Maybe I’m dumb as a stump, but y'all keep mentioning photos and the only one I’ve seen is a costume.
