100 day Challenge October 27.24 – February 03.25

Week 1

Day 01—10/27— 155.3. My weight is much higher today than it's been recently. It's the result of enjoying a few (too many) beers with friends and eating out yesterday. I'm sure a couple pounds will fall off in the next couple of days as I get back to making good choices.

Day 02—10/28— 154.9. I made much better choices yesterday. Hopefully my body will catch up soon, and I'll return to where I was before the weekend (152, roughly). I walked and ate within calories. I also did some meal planning and prep to prepare for the week.

Day 03—10/29— 153.7. Slowly coming back down. Lots of walking, some body weight exercises, and yoga. Eating was great, with no deviations from the plan. I just need to make this the norm.

Day 04—10/30—152.6. Another good day. My husband started nibbling on the Halloween candy, but I used all of my willpower to resist. More walking and yoga.

Day 05—10/31— 153.2. I've had a really good week so far, goal wise- much better than usual. Yesterday was a bad day for me emotionally. I think part of it had a legit reason, but that just spiraled into feeling all of the current stresses of life. However, I didn't turn to food and still did the exercise I had planned. So in that way, it was a win.

Day 06—11/01— 151.2. Happy to have a bit of a woosh. I've been doing good at resisting Halloween candy so far, but we still have some in the house. I'm going to try to be good. I didn't do well at meeting my exercise goals yesterday (steps, yoga), but my eating was good. I just have to maintain this loss until tomorrow to beat my week goal...
Day 07—11/02—151.6. It's close enough to my goal for the week that I am happy with it. I added in the exercise bike at the gym to my workout. Overall, I'm quite happy with how this week went. I'm proud of most of the decisions I made

Week 1 Goal: 151.5
Week 1 actual weight: 151.6

Day 08—11/03— 152.1 I had a few extra pieces of Halloween candy than I needed, but overall did pretty okay. I did most of my exercise (outdoor walking, treadmill and exercise bike) but didn't get around to yoga. I'm going to make a soup today for lunches this coming week. I also want to make healthyish zucchini muffins that my kids also like, but I'll see if I have time.

Day 09—11/04—151.7. Food quality wasn't great (husband had pizza waiting for me when I got home) but I fit it into my calories and ended the day just below target. I went swimming (first time swimming laps in a LONG time!). This weekend was a lot better than last week.

Day 10—11/05— 152.1. This number keeps popping up. It's time to push it down a bit. I was up all night with my kids, hopefully I'll be able to stick to my plan today.

Day 11—11/06—150.1. Woo-hoo!! I've been really diligent with my food and exercise recently, so it's nice to see it reflected on the scale. I really hope this isn't a fluke.

Day 12—11/07— 151.6. Yesterday was a rest day from the gym, and I treated myself to an alcoholic beverage. I'm not too surprised there was a little bounce up. The rest of the day was good. Food was good, and the rest of my activity was good (outside walk, yoga, body weight exercises).

Day 13—11/08— 150.8. Good day. Good food choices, a bit of intentional exercise. I'm happy some of my healthy choices are becoming more of a habit, and a bit less forced.

Day 14—11/09— 150.8. I'm happy with where I ended this week. I missed my goal, but still made good progress.
Week 2 Goal:150.5
Week 2 actual weight: 150.8

Day 15—11/10— 150.6. Bare minimum type of day. Went to the gym, but wasn't a remarkable workout. Ate within calories, but didn't focus on nutrition. It was good enough.

Day 16—11/11— 151.0. It was another lazy day. I did a couple of short walks, but that's all for exercise. Food was okay and within calories.

Day 17—11/12— 153.1. Constipation is my only guess. I took something for it last night, hopefully it'll do it's thing today and my weight will be better tomorrow.

Day 18—11/13— 150.0. So close to breaking into the 140's.

Day 19—11/14— 151.2. Not a bad day, but not a particularly good day, foodwise. I'm still not running because of my hip. I still go to the gym, but it's not the same intensity as running. I'm hoping next week I'll be able to run again.

Day 20—11/15— 149.9. Another bare minimum day.

Day 21—11/16— 150.8. I bounced around my week goal weight, but missed the mark. I'm purposely pulling back on the exercise, trying to let my hip heal completely. That may show up a little on the scale.

10/17: 217.5 - Ending weight last round on 10/17/2024 before vacation.
10/18-10/26: DNW - Vacation Northeast coast & Canada
10/27: 222.9 - Up 5.4 lbs in one week of vacation indulgence. I really hope that some of this is water retention from travel and will shed quickly in the next 2 days. The trip with my sister was great but I drank cocktails that had way more calories than my normal glass of wine. Think that was probably my biggest mistake. Starting this round in the RED!
🎂 Not the way I wanted to kick off my birthday … 64 years. Will I get to Onederland before I’m 65??? Bike 30 min
10/28: 220.1 / 221.8 - Not under 220 but I’ll take it. Today taking care of my granddaughter since she has fever and can’t go to daycare. My daughter is flying to North Carolina for work and her husband has 4 meetings at work today so they need Nana’s help with the little one. The other is going to daycare.

Weekly Goal: < ?
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Water! ✔️
Actual Weight: 220.1
Gain / Loss this week: 2.6
Challenge Weight Loss: 0
🎯 Still in the red so I’m going to work this coming week to get back down to pre vacation weight.

10/29: 218.8 / 221.1 - Gradually shedding the travel water retention and vacation weight gain. Wondering if this is my real weight which would mean I gained a real pound on this trip ... much like all my other 4 vacations in the past 2 years. Now will be the real challenge to get rid of this pound!
10/30: 217.9 / 220.1 - My knees are bothering me again after all the walking on vacation. Today I’m going to focus on the bike exercise and go back to my PT exercises to help stretch out and strengthen the muscles around the knees.
10/31: 216.5 / 219.0 - 🎃 Yeah! A new low and my trend is under 220. All the grandkids are getting together at my daughter’s home for chili and to trick-o-treat together tonight. I’m looking forward to it! This year we have Elsa and Ana from Frozen and a beautiful pink princess.
11/1: 217.7 / 218.4 - Indulged a little too much plus didn’t get on the bike but did walk with the grandkids trick-or-treating.

11/2: 216.8 / 217.8 - Great lunch out yesterday with an old friend. I chose a fun harvest salad with grilled chicken, spring mix lettuce, pumpkin seeds, roasted beets & butternut squash, goat cheese, quinoa with Fig Balsamic dressing. It was yummy! Never tried these veggies before roasted and never liked beets before but this I loved! Only ate half and stopped when I was full.
Today the families are going to the zoo. Lots of chasing grandkids in my future morning adventures.
11/3: 218.7 / 217.9 - Too much yesterday! Daughter brought both Kolaches and donuts which I had 1 of each. Then DIL brought key lime cup cakes she made for my birthday celebration which were yummy and I had 1 after a salad lunch and another after pasta dinner. The results of the indulgence showed up on the scale this morning.
11/4: 218.3 / 217.9 - 30 min bike

Weekly Goal: < Pre vacation weight 217.5 to get back to my starting challenge weight!
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Water! ✔️
Actual Weight: 218.3
Gain / Loss this week: 1.8
Challenge Weight Loss: .8
🎯 Lost most of the vacation gain but I’m still in the red for this challenge as I’ve not gotten back to my starting 217.5 pre-vacation reading. Lots of things I could have and should have done this week … bike, not eat so many cupcakes, etc.

11/5: 215.8 / 217.2 - I had a “spell” last night where my heart raced for over an hour (180 bpm). Drank water, lied down, breathing … tried everything I knew to get it to slow down. I have vascular syncope and almost blacked out at dinner when it kicked in. Of course this had to be the time when my DIL and granddaughter were staying over and my sister was here for dinner. Better this morning. Wondering if I burned off the calories LOL
11/6: 218.3 / 217.4 - Taking it easy today … bike 30, min walk 1 mil, paint, plan for potential move since remodeling as much as we want is out of the question cost wise.
11/7: 217.2 / 217.2 - Up at 3am … WHY!?!?
11/8: 217 / 217.1 - Biked 20 min
11/9: 217 / 217.0 - Biked 20 min, weed & mulch front bed, played with grandkids
11/10: 215.6 / 216.5 - Saw 215 during last round before vacation but didn’t hold on to it. Wondering if I’ll be able to this week. Biked 20 min
11/11: 215.5 / 216.1 - Took a 1.5 hr nap both Sat and Sun … I guess my body really needed sleep this weekend.

Weekly Goal: < Pre vacation weight 217.5 to get back to my starting challenge weight!
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Bike 4x this week ✔️
Actual Weight: 215.5
Gain / Loss this week: 2.8
