    This is my posting format….

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

    5/20/25 : 225.6 SW a day before.

    5/21: 224.2 (1445 CI)
    This may seem like great success, but actually it is great sickness. I guess I will go to the Dr. today at DW insistence. I should have gone yesterday but I can be a bit stubborn.

    5/22: 224 (1606 CI)
    Many of my calories were from tablespoons full of honey. So carbs were crazy too. Dr. told me honey is one of the best cough suppressants there is. So I was all over that like a bear. She (Dr.) deemed it a virus, so nothing can be done for it med-wise. I feel a lot better this morning already. “I can do hard things!”

    I need to work on keeping the calorie count more like the past two days.

    @Skyleen75 I am sure your bark is worse than your bite.

    We used to have a "working dog." A Border Collie named OREO. Frisbee fetch was mandatory the minute I got out of bed and the minute I got home from work. My dog. I loved her to pieces.

    Now we have a "house dog." (kind of like a house cat.) A Cavapoo named Poppy that hasn't seen a day of work in her life. My DW's dog. She's a puddle of cuddle. Loves to be handled like a stuffed animal. I like her (mostly.) HA!

    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 297
    May 21 - 30, 2025

    SW: 130.2

    5/21 – 129.4 What’s the expression “a day late and a dollar short”, well the 129ish showed up a day late. But better than never. Being back home and having more obligations is really making exercise a struggle. While I am not accomplishing what I planned or hoped, I am not allowing myself to just plain give up/give in and hoping to fine my rhythm. Calories can be good as long as I don’t let my head get in the way. Hopes for this round. Stay in the 129s or maybe even peek at 128. Tomorrow, I start living in TWO states MA and ME until September, but I am already pre-planning meals in an effort to keep this all going.

    Oh and BTW, I am NOT having fun with this MOG dress shopping. Have bought 18 dresses so far, and none are the “one”. BUT I am learning/remembering what looks good on me. This photos of dresses on 5’10” size 4 models are really deceiving. I need to remember that too. Yesterday, I tried on a dress with a bid bow on the shoulder that came across like a pagant sash. OMG, I looked like a poorly wrapped x-mas present.

    5/22 – 128.6 Is this my reward for behaving well yesterday?? I’m starting to get closer to the weights I hung out at for over a year (plus or minus 125). I just looked back at my old history numbers. It was right around now, last year, that I last saw a number in this range and started my long slow gain. So if I don’t return to that behavior this year (from now to 2026), that is better than a year ago. Oh, and I did got my walk in yesterday. Today, heading to Maine by 10:30. Got groceries to do, house to clean, packing and remembering what the heck I need up there. Plus taking 4 cats with us (babysitting daughter's plus out two). There is a small gym on the ground floor, so I might see if I can get that to entice me. :)

    @rbelfiore0262 Congrats on kicking the smoking. You are on your way to a healthier you!

    @_JeffreyD_ So sorry you are not well. I was hoping to read this morning that you were better. Maybe today will be the day!

    @MSWDiet Regarding binge eating. I fall to this also at times. Those who say "just don't have anything in the house" don't comprehend that when I get in that mode I will find "something", condiments, baking ingredients, etc. Doen't matter, I can always find something, so the goal is to not have a binge, or rather not trigger one. If I knew how to prevent them 100%, I would market it and be a millionaire. :) <3

    @quiltingjaine So glad I brought some humor to your day. In my head, I really thought being at a better weight would produce a miracle in the dressing room. I really should be taking pictures!!!

    @k_littlepage Welcome. Group is great, and I hope you end up agreeing. 10 day rounds give you the opportunity to succeed 36+ times a year. Always a new opportunity. Wonderful people here as well!

    Day/Weight/Comment

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 195.4

    05/21-195.4 💠 - (Trend Weight: 195.2) 3rd day in a row of the same weight. It was a pretty good day yesterday. I may have shown a loss if not for that rare cocktail I had last night. Actually, it was two….. Too much high calorie and high carb Orange Juice. Today I take my two oldes DGS’ for their hair appointments. Dinner out afterward which is customary. Sometimes I don’t eat and just get water. I suppose it depends on where we go. They pick so we’ll see.

    🌺🌺🌺🌺 05/22 – 193.8 ✅ (Trend Weight – 195.2) I think I have what @_JeffreyD_ has,. I’ve been so sick for several days now. It didn’t slow me down the first couple of days but it’s taking it’s toll today. It’s a combined head and chest cold. Lots of snot & phlegm. Of course, it has not affected my appetite and I could eat a whole roasted pig if I wanted, but I’m definitely running out of tissue. I wonder how long it will take to get back to normal. DGS and daughter arrive today for 2-4 days as usual. Actually, up to 5 days since Monday is a Holiday. I don’t know their schedule yet. We will be celebrating Memorial Weekend while they are here. I hope she doesn’t overdo it on the food like she typically does. I’d like to keep the festivities involving foods that are out of plan to just one day. We may do the movies this weekend for Lilo & Stitch. I guess that depends how I feel. If I go, I’ll wear a mask to avoid spreading my head cold. That would also mean a restaurant. I don’t want to lose my progress so I must be very careful and thoughtful of every morsel I put in my mouth.

    I often talk about finding my “why”. Pictured here is MY WHY. The longer I can keep up with my grandchildren, the fuller my life will be! This week: speaking at the City Council meeting Monday night… Tackling an adventure course with my grandson Thursday morning… With hardly any sleep between. Finding your WHY is so important! I’m glad I know mine! Rest needed then re-start!
