Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. (Calories In – day before)/ Comment

5/10/25 : 226.4 SW a day before.

5/12: 227.2 (!)
And there is the bump. Mother’s Day with all the celebration got the better of my will power too. We had four generations together yesterday.

Today we shove off for a few days at DW’s sister and brother-in-law’s house two states away. Today is sister’s first round of chemo for breast cancer. We just want to be there for a bit of support, like pre-making some meals, planting flowers and just being there.

So, I will not be stepping on a scale until Friday but will try to lose or maintain between now and then.

Round 295 End Weight 176.8

05/11 176.2

05/12 177.0 I’m celebrating that for the first time in way too long I actually got on the scale for a Monday weight! Huge win.
I did eat too much at brunch but I pulled myself together for the rest of the day.
I did not completely sabotage my weekend.
The weather continues to be wild but today should be sunny and I am going to take advantage of it.
I can feel it in my bones this round is going to be pivotal. My mojo is stirring from deep within to make progress towards my weight goals.
I got the early morning feeling that I can do anything and everything! I have to ride this wind when I feel it.

Goal is to log all food daily REGARDLESS. 30 minutes exercise daily. NO SMOKING!!

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 193.6

🌺🌺🌺🌺05/11-194.6 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 195.0) I’m up a pound due to my birthday celebrations but I’m not going to sweat it. Today should be a good day since we primarily wrapped up Mother’s Day foods with my birthday. Trend weight still easing down which definitely reassures me. The weather here in the northern part of the Midwest USA is really beginning to improve. Brightens my spirits! Have a great round everyone! I’m over here in the corner cheering you all on. Take the stage!

05/12 – 194.6 💠 (Trend Weight – 195.0) I honestly thought it would be lower instead of the same because yesterday was such a good compliant day. However, with daughter and DGS here I probably didn’t get as much movement in. Also, all the weekend celebrations may still be catching up so I’ll take it! The plus side to it all is that I have Medicare insurance now, but it is Expensive!

Yesterday I went off the deep end after dinner. Chocolate Chip cookies and Ice Cream. I do NOT regret, as I mindfully enjoyed every bite.

This round’s goal: get back to work on understanding and accepting myself without constantly taking a sledgehammer to my soul.
And hopefully lose a little weight too.

Previous rounds:

Goals this round:

• Log my food every single day, even when away
• Pay attention to quantities- measure more carefully
• Stop beating myself up. That’s useless and counterproductive

5/12: I weighed yesterday but didn’t get around to logging; a very busy Mother’s Day! DSIL#1 made brunch for the whole family. Wonderful time, great food and I didn’t even pretend to restrain myself.

Today’s a new day and I’m committed to pay attention to my choices for the rest of this round.

10 days to feel good about myself!

5/13: yesterday was the first day in a very long time that I logged everything I ate. This morning I have an active stress test, the last of 3 tests my cardiologist scheduled. My attitude towards medical testing has changed- I used to avoid it and be fearful of going; now I look at it as an opportunity to get an accurate idea of how my body is working and get help if I need it. Kind of like getting on the scale every day…

Maybe I'm finally growing up at the ripe age of 68?

Thank you @quiltingjaine 🌸

5/13-138-Still leftovers from the weekend. I turned 60 on Mother’s Day. Adult boys came to visit and we ate plenty. Went to pickle ball yesterday and will be off to a quilting class today. Hopefully the lunch they provide isn’t too carby. I have bagged salads I am bringing to donate and can eat some of that.

Hi, I'm jumping a little bit late here. My goals are to close my Apple watch rings daily, log my food daily, and to stay within my net cals range. This has worked for me in the past, but I’ve let my habits slide for a couple of years when life got “interesting”. Here are the past two days, and they were a bit of a train wreck. My body is happiest when I weigh about 135-138 lbs, so that's the goal. No rush.
