    @SosiRegime Happy Birthday! I hope it is grand

    @_JeffreyD_ In elementary school, when we also had to walk home for lunch. I was uphill BOTH ways. My home was the bottom of one side of the hilland the school was at the bottom on the other side. I was glad for middle school and the bus. :P

    @quiltingjaine What sweet mom and pups!! <3

    @patriciafoley1 Handsome Shepherd! Would not have spotted him as one!

    4/21 - 168.9

    4/22 - 168.5

    4/23 - 167.5

    4/24 - 167.5 -

    4/25 - 167.8 - A tiny jump up. Could be soreness (my arms! that's not my usual sore area) or from dinner having just enough heavy cream to cause my lactose pills to struggle. It's not so much that I have any tummy issues, just enough to cause bloat if I overload myself with dairy/lactose. Today all my meals and snacks are logged and within macros so feeling good. Tomorrow I won't even attempt to log/track since we're planning to go into the bigger town an hour and a half away for date night after meeting up with one of the guys BF met while at his training down there - he's one of those guys that doesn't have many friends and wanted to hang out so BF asked if we could meet him and I obliged. Date night will be at one of our favorite British pubs that's conveniently on the way home from the city and that's where logging becomes challenging. I did something to the arch of my foot today during basketball so I'll be taking things easy this weekend and aiming to hit my steps and walk the dogs as usual but limiting excess until it feels better. Hopefully it's just a little pulled muscle type situation and nothing too serious.

    @thistime716 ”However, I have friends and family in Herrin and Marion.”

    My SIL lives in Marion and when we moved back to SI in 2004 we built in Herrin. It truly is a small world! Now we’re in much less humid and much more crowded Las Vegas!

    @SModa61 he's a longcoat. In the AKC, a long coat is considered a show fault and they would not be shown or bred. In Europe, it isn't a show fault, in fact it seems many of the showline GSDs are longcoats. So you see it in European bred dogs. A lot of the Czech bred dogs are black. Longcoats tend to have a very sweet temperament. He has that, but he's also very very high energy.

    Day/Weight/Comment

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 195.8

    04/21-195.0 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 196.5)

    04/22 – 194.2 ✅ (Trend Weight – 196.3)

    04/23-194.2 💠 - (Trend Weight: 196.1)

    04/24-195.2 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 196.0) Ditto on @quiltingjaine post today. It’s finally all coming back to haunt me. I’ve been eating a LOT of restaurant food due to how busy I’ve been. At night, I’ve started to just grab my nut snack (type varies) out of the container without measuring or counting them out so I know the quantities have been too high. I haven’t done that in years, honestly. I don’t want to start developing any bad habits! I got about 6 more hours of burning in yesterday but no more raking. Although not even half done with the raking, my piles are already too high so I’ll continue to focus on the burning for now. However, at some point the raking and branch removals will have to start back up or I’ll never be able to have it mowed! I hope you will all enjoy your day.

    🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰 04/25-194.2 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 195.8) I usually don’t weigh on Fridays due to a special medication I take on Fridays only. Also, I have a weird sleep schedule as this is the day I wake up extra early to get my DGS off to school (first grade). I then often lay back down, which makes me get up extra late (usually around 10:30). So I don’t always feel that either weight will be comparable or accurate. Today I was 194.2 at 6:15 a.m. and I was 193.0 at 10:45 a.m. I’ll go for the higher weight as I was likely pretty dehydrated at the later hour. I must say though, having registered at 193, even for a possible unlikely minute made me feel pretty hopeful!

    04/28-xxxxx- (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    04/29-xxxxx- (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Round 294, April 21 - 30, 2025

    Newbie,  F54, H 5’6”  GW 150 (but any loss would feel like a victory right now) 🚫alcohol, 🏋️,🥛, 🛌

    4/21 - 182.7, 30 minutes of exercise! And I stuck to my calories. I'm happy to see that my weight is down a little since the last time I weighed myself, which was a couple months ago. I've almost cut out alcohol entirely, just a drink here and there. I think that has to be helping. Right now, I think I need to focus on cutting out snacks at work - very hard for me to do.

    4/22 – 181. I know that looks crazy from yesterday but that’s my body. My weight swings a lot. Maybe it’s the hypothyroidism; I don’t know. I’m finding it disturbingly easy to stick to my new calorie limit. Makes me wonder just how horribly I’ve been overeating for the past several months. I did not eat the chocolate at work today! 😊

    4/23 - 181.4. I worked out again today - got up extra early to get the workout in. Ok, so my cat woke me up. 😻 I did 10 minutes each on the elliptical, the stationary bike, and the treadmill, and I even ran a little bit. A very little bit. Food diary went well again today - I actually kind of like doing that. Thank you all for your replies today - it's very helpful and encouraging to read what others are doing.

    4/24 - 181. Today is my birthday! I took the day off work. Very grateful to have a job and a manager that allows me to do that. Having a great day so far with lots of reading, hanging out with the spouse, loving Wally (our cat/loving despot), and enjoying the porch. Everything is green here now in north Alabama and with recent rain the plants are happy. Lovely day! 🍓

    4/25 – 180.8 – Good day at home with Jeff working in the backyard and then taking it easy. Got in a workout this morning, and that is the first 3-workout week I’ve had in a long time. Still learning with food tracking just how off base I’ve been with portions in the last few months! Wow - Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I used to be on SparkPeople for years, and I've missed the community there. It's so nice to find you all here!

    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 294
    April 21 – 30, 2025

    SW: 130.4 (travel scale 130.6)

    4/21 – 130.6 (travel 130.8) I got through Easter well enough. I did go to the gym, but cut my workout short. Middle of the day, I got into some leftover tortilla chips from last Wednesday, but eventually got smart and poured them loose into the trash. The Easter meal itself was quite healthy. Fridge is clearing out. Today, after I walk needs to be a big packing day. We start our northward journey noon on the 24th. Would love to finish round 294 with a 129.X.

    4/22 – 131.0 (travel 131.0) No reason. 5+ mile walk. Food and tracking were fine. Scale just loves to tease me.

    4/23 – 130.0 (travel 130.0) I really expected today to be an up. I did do my last workout at the gym with my trainer (10 sessions total), but did was not perfect. Stressors were triggering my drive to grab things. I was not awful, but did not track everything and just accepted that today would be a new day. Today is last full day in the Keys. Going to do my walk, and continue packing and cleaning, and start loading the car.

    4/24 – 129.4 It’s a miracle! This morning is last weigh-in in the Keys. (travel scale is in suitcase for next three mornings) I actually got to see a 129 number before heading north. The last time I saw this number, which was on the way up, was 11 months ago, May 25th. Waist measurement has improved since Jan. Went from 31 and now 29.25. Why does this matter? In Jan, when I took measurements and look at a dress chart, my bust was like a size 6, my hips a size 4, and my waist a 10. Of course that is just one chart, but the point is that there is/was a disconnect between measurements. I would like my measurements to match closer to a single size, any single size so at least clothing will fit. Got less than 4 hours to finish packing, loading and cleaning. Starting northward shortly!

    4/25 – 129.4 MIL’s scale (129.6 travel scale) Stopped tracking yesterday after getting in the car northward, but tried to be thoughtful about my choices. No exercise yesterday other than going up and down two flights many times while loading the car. Will try and do something here while at my MIL’s but still TBD.

    4/26 – 129.6 MIL’s scale (129.8 travel scale) Awake early. No exercise yesterday, and will be spending the next two days in a car passenger seat. Will continue to make best effort and see if I can somehow keep the 129.X. In the car in one hour. Next stop Stony Creek Virginia for the night.

    @stephanj I use Repeals All or Liquid Fence. I buy it by the gallon in concentrate and dilute into a hefty pump sprayer for easy application. YES it works but only if you spray often. In spring when things are first emerging I use the ground sprinkle too.
    These products work by getting into the plants systemically not just coating them.
    I’m a professional estate gardener so I really can say if you use it right and diligently it works great.

    @quiltingjaine I want to snuggle all of them and pat mom on the head and tell her she’s the goodest girl.

    @quiltingjaine The humidity the past 2 days was horrendous. A high school friend and her mother moved here from California. She said, Illinois is always wet. Its raining, snowing, or just insanely humid. Which is somewhat accurate.

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 294 (my 224th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.

    Goals for every round;

    First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!

    to weigh less at the end of the round than the start

    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.

    EW RND 293 – 140.6

    SW RND 294 –

    4/21 DNW – yesterday we rode the motorbike to Sheffield on the annual Easter Egg run to raise funds for the children’s hospital; our youngest DGS received treatment in there as a 6 month old before his liver transplant, so the charity is dear to our hearts. We do it together with our DS, but this year was a little different, instead of our DIL riding pillion with him, his oldest DD,(aged 6 ½) rode with him now that her legs are long enough to reach the footrests. She was so excited! Three generations took part this year! A total of 827 bikes turned out! Not heard yet how much money was raised.

    4/22 140.8 (trend 140.4) No structured waking; travelled back home.

    4/23 141.8 (trend 140.4) 9.33 miles walked.

    4/24 141.8 (trend 140.7) 3.6 miles walked, with little DGD (3), after a craft morning at her local library we took a picnic up to the peaks. She loves to step up & across the rocks up there. Update on the Easter egg run; it raised £68,000.

    4/25 141.8 (trend 140.9) 8.89 miles walked, must stop indulging in the Easter chocolate today.

    4/26 DNW - came away for a weekend to Bridgnorth. 9.07 miles walked, resisted the Easter chocolate until 2.00pm 😕 , then.... Left it all at home & only brought healthy food & 0% alcohol with us! So glad MFP behaved to allow me to post this second attempt 🤔

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 195.8

    04/21-195.0 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 196.5)

    04/22 – 194.2 ✅ (Trend Weight – 196.3)

    04/23-194.2 💠 - (Trend Weight: 196.1)

    04/24-195.2 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 196.0)

    04/25-194.2 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 195.8) I usually don’t weigh on Fridays due to a special medication I take on Fridays only. Also, I have a weird sleep schedule as this is the day I wake up extra early to get my DGS off to school (first grade). I then often lay back down, which makes me get up extra late (usually around 10:30). So I don’t always feel that either weight will be comparable or accurate. Today I was 194.2 at 6:15 a.m. and I was 193.0 at 10:45 a.m. I’ll go for the higher weight as I was likely pretty dehydrated at the later hour. I must say though, having registered at 193, even for a possible unlikely minute made me feel pretty hopeful!

    🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰 04/26-192.4 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 195.4) Wow! Maybe I should trust that lower weight (of the 2) that I didn’t post yesterday! I’m very happy with this and feeling hopeful. Now I just need to stay away from that pattern of self-sabotage that I usually lean into when I start to do well. Stay strong Donna!

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    4/21 135.6 Back to basics. For real. Fell off the “habit” train so must not have been TRUE habits after all…

    I often have fluctuations, but this huge swing is serious. Behaviors have been erratic since early February -  will focus on “doing” and not “being”. 

    #ENGAGED! #HSF

    I’m definitely more content when “routining”. No wading … jumping in! I have approximately three months to regain my groove for my two year JGMTD anniversary and a lifetime to experience the reward … My reward? Contentment.

    Good luck to all! 

    4/22 133.6 #ENGAGED. Solid day back.  good 💦but still puffy. Somewhat lethargic. Better 🥩 (110g). Will 🎾🏋️‍♀️& ⏱️ today. Mindset change leads to optimism. Claiming identity #HSF. Do vs Be. 

    4/23 131.2 Well I guess the scale lied to me Monday and/or it’s lying to me this morning! Nothing is real until I get well established into my routine. 

    After almost 2+ years of daily tracking (and 11 years pretty consistently) I can state with certainty (for me) that two days of home food prep and knowing EXACTLY what enters my mouth (Whole Food / single ingredient) is THE difference. (Hydration and IF 18/6). I’m sure the scale will bounce around as I continue moving forward. 

    Activity: yesterday was the first day I played tennis in 10 days & unfortunately, I injured myself. I am just beside myself… My right tricep was killing me as well as my neck, back and shoulders… (maybe aggravated areas from my fall last week). Must be a combination of all the physical work at the property and using unfamiliar parts of my body… I went to bed in so much pain last night. I could barely move and then miraculously I woke up after a solid night sleep feeling fine “almost” except for my right tricep… Some things are just inexplicable. 

    Puffiness and brain fog starting to dissipate. I’ll lay off weights today and will go for a very long, long walk. Maybe two. DGS Chauffeur time this week!

    Property update: What a roller coaster! Nothing yet from the “We are going to buy your property” neighbors… Strange. The roof is going on April 30 and we will list ASAP.

    4/24 I woke up, feeling no pain yesterday but as the morning progressed the pain returned. I decided to completely take the day off. Very little movement. 🚶‍♀️6k steps getting organized, errands, completing property disclosure statements, Listing agreement, etc. chauffeured DGS and went to the grocery.  I’m better this morning, but I think I need to take another REST day from structured movement. We’ll try and get my steps in, pay attention to my posture, do some breathing work, 🙏, healthy nutrition, and plenty of 💦💦💦. 🙆‍♀️. 

    NSV: My body loves one ingredient, whole food, and plenty of hydration. The 4/20 spike is still a mystery… I guess it was a combination of eating unfamiliar restaurant foods over a stretch of time and lack of hydration, TMI, cortisol, sleep, etc. Our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made. 

    4/25 DNW this morning because I woke up once again WAY too early… Yesterday I was off track a little because I went to lunch with my tennis team. I was very good but had a handful of tater tots… Why? I don’t know they just looked so good! Very little movement yesterday and my back flared up around 7PM. It was painful sleeping. Ice works better than heat and I’m feeling better this morning. Will take it easy AGAIN today. I think all this came from the jolt of the fall almost 2 weeks ago… I have another landmine tonight with my high school friends and I’m planning on eating protein only.

    4/26. I will catch up tomorrow. crazy night & morning.
