    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 279 (my 209th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

    This round I’m going to join @Chapter_3 in in a BHAG of 1 pound a round to the end of the year, i.e. to weigh 138 or under. I need to shake myself up cuz only 3-5 days per round staying on the waggon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be. 4 pounds would really get me on my way; I want to stay strong, walk the walk as well as talk the talk! & make the round a successful one.
    So, goals for this round;
    • First and foremost, no feeding frenzies - (carried over from last few rounds)
    • to weigh less at the end of the round than the start & a pound is my small BHAG for this round
    • be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
    I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.
    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.

    Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
    This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.

    SW RND 279 141.8
    11/22 141.8 (trend 142.5) 9.03 miles walked, footpaths were quite dodgy in places with the ice, but just walked these sections gingerly:) Feeling happier in myself now that I’ve made this commitment, hoping to stick with it & keep this mind set, I know as the festive period gets closer it will become more difficult with all the various food-based meeting ups, so need to make the earlier rounds and not “festive gathering” days really count.
    11/23 DNW – luckily yesterday the roads had cleared of snow & ice for us to tow the caravan out for a weekend away in Delamere Forest. Managed a 6 mile walk in the forest before darkness descended. Stayed within calorie limit.
    11/24 DNW – 5.26 miles clocked up; intermittent rain scuppered our plans! We drove to Chester, plan was to walk the city walls visiting both the castle & the amphitheatre, but had to abandon quite quickly due to Storm Bert rain & wind. We ended up Christmas shopping; it proved to be quite productive, most of the DGC’s presents purchased. Heavy rain, standing water & wind might make todays journey home a bit of a challenge.
    11/25 141 (trend 142.1) numbers looking better 😊, but must not get complacent. Again, no structured walking due to the weather.
    11/26 141 (trend 142) – 10.71 miles walked.
    11/27 141.6 (trend 141.9) – 8.87 miles walked, out pounding the pavements at 7.30 am before meeting up with DSs for lunch, stuck to an omelette & undressed salad. I’ve started drinking hot water in this cold weather and it really is not bad!!

    exercise.png
    11/28 140.6 (trend 141.8) I’m hoping that yesterday’s number was a natural fluctuation & not todays!! 7.52 miles walked.
    11/29 141.8 (trend 141.8) – that is the high salt content of last night’s Indian meal; ate light the rest of the day. Picked DB up from the airport, here from Turkey for a few days, so quite a few social events imminent. No structured walking.
    11/30 141 (trend 141.7) 9 miles walked, pushed lots of water.
    12/1 141.6 (trend 141.7) only walking was quite a stroll, visited a Narnia themed Wrest Park & wandered around the grounds. 1 pound lost this round which is in line with my BGHG & no binge this round at all, so that’s all goals met!! Yippee, let’s do that next round too.
    👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

    @jspecies11 I don't see that @quiltingjaine has not posted it yet.

    I've messaged @quiltingjaine to see if she wants me to post the new round, if it's not up by this evening, I will do it anyway just in case she has an IT problem.
