    Morning all ,
    I've had a lazy few days as I've had a very sore throat & earache.Not very nice but I'm taking paracetamol & throat lozenges & hoping it soon goes away.
    I'm off to see Culture Club tonight in a new big arena in Manchester.Ive not been to many concerts & my friend Hilary who is 75 years young goes to alot on her own.So I thought I would go with her.We're not sat together as she paid for a premium ticket & I'm in the cheap seats.
    The support act is Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet.,Their hit 'True" was my first dance at my wedding and Heaven 17.
    I will be up dancing in my seat 💃

    @izzyred9400 I hope you felt well enough to enjoy the concert. How fun! I used to go to every concert that came to Buffalo back in the late 70s / early 80s. Sadly I didn't get to see either of those groups, but definitely would have. Now I can't hear either without thinking of The Wedding Singer. 🤣🤣

    @CasandraW I am so very sorry for your sudden loss of your mother. Prayers said for you and all who loved her.

    @Pupowl I read all of your posts. If anyone doesn't want to, they don't have to. I say to write as much as you want. I'm about to write a bunch myself:) Sorry to hear that you've been struggling with things. I hope Tinus will be okay. It is so hard when our beloved pets have problems. I'm going through that myself with my dog who has cancer and is getting chemo. Loneliness is so difficult, especially at this time of year. I am married with big kids now, but I remember being so lonely in my 20s. I lived alone, and it was so hard sometimes. It really is hard to make friends as an adult. I think the holidays are hard for many people, but most don't talk about it or show it. The struggle is real. I love that walking pad. I hope that works out for you.

    @izzyred9400 I didn't realize Culture Club was still playing! I used to have their albums:) Hope you're feeling better.

    Week 6 Goal: 147.0
    Week 6 actual weight: 146.4

    Day 43—12/08— 145.5. Hmmm... I'm dropping weight a bit too fast. Almost 2 pounds in 2 days? A bit of a woosh may have been building up, but I also think I'm a bit dehydrated. I haven't been focusing on water the last few days. So I'm going to try drinking more today, and see if my weight evens out a bit.

    Day 44—12/09— 147.2. I drank more water yesterday, putting me around where I think I should be. I gotta stay hydrated.

    Day 45—12/10—147.7. Took the day off from the gym, but went for a walk. Calories were just a smidge higher than I would like them to be. Going to pre-track my food today.

    Day 46—12/11— 147.7. Anxiety was pretty bad. Exercise was pretty scarce yesterday. Eating was okay.

    Day 47—12/12— 148.0. I was really tired yesterday so took it easy, again. Food wasn't the best. I'm going to do better today.

    Week 7 Goal: 146.0
    Week 7 actual weight:

    Previous and Future Weeks
    Previous days' notes were lost when I got a new phone and my notes didn't get carried over. Copying and pasting from an old post proved to be too troublesome, especially for something that no one really needs or wants to re-read.

    Day 36—12/01— 148.7. I was expecting my weight to be up from my sick weight yesterday, but wasn't expecting this much. I ate yesterday, but still well under my calories as I wasn't feeling great. Oh well.

    Day 37—12/02— 149.1 :(

    Day 38—12/03— 148.3. I'm happy it came down a little.

    Day 39—12/04— 147.9.

    Day 40—12/05— 146.7. Woo-hoo! I'm super excited for this new low. Hopefully it'll stick for the end of the week goal

    Day 41—12/06— 147.0. I feel like I'm in the zone right now. I'm motivated, my healthy habits are taking hold and becoming routine, and I just feel like I'm doing things "right". I know this feeling won't last forever, but I'm going to try to hold on to it for a few more pounds at least.

    Day 42—12/07— 146.4. My boys are spending the weekend with Gramma, so I'll have some more time to myself today. Have some errands, chores and things to do, but hoping to also have some down time for Me Time and maybe a little extra at the gym.

    @PatriceFitnessPal, thank you for your kind words!! I’m closer to the gym while living here at our son’s and I still haven’t gone. 😔 I really struggle with making and keeping to any kind of routine. I’m thinking in that direction. I need to to sneak up on things sometimes.

    @iradi8 I totally understand your comment about people noticing and commenting I hate it. I feel like they are saying I looked terrible before, I don’t ever feel like I look terrible. I have felt beautiful at almost any weight and then when they say these things I feel like I am agreeing with them by losing weight. I’m not even sure that makes sense. .

    Thank you for your thoughts and prayers

    @CasandraW What you said makes perfect sense to me. I get it. Also, you have a tough few weeks coming up. I'm sure you're going to feel all kinds of emotions for a while. Hugs to you. I lost my mom in 2023. She was 77 which didn't seem that old to me, so 71 doesn't seem long enough. Losing your mom, especially so suddenly, is so hard. I feel for you.

    @izzyred9400 That sounds amazing!
