Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.2

Goal This Round: 184.2 (10 pounds)

Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate Goal: 145-155 (I’ll know when I get there!)

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

250’s💋-- 240’s🎵-- 230’s🐸-- 220's📘-- 210's🌸-- 200's🎨-- 190's🌈-- 180’s🤑-- 170's🐋-- 160's🙋‍♀️-- 150’s🌻

Thoughts at the start of this round:

My goal from the very beginning has been to lose one pound per week for a total of 12 pounds per challenge. I have never considered that to be too much and I never thought in a million years I would find it this difficult, even at my age and with my health problems. But it’s proved to be nothing but an uphill climb and in most cases, impossible. I am going to lower my goal to 10 pounds per challenge and see if that will feel more right, more do-able. I, again, thank you for sharing my journey with me and allowing me to travel with you on yours. It is reassuring, refreshing, enlightening and inspiring and I am forever grateful.

PREVIOUS WEEK’S CHALLENGE:

CURRENT WEEK:

Day 15—05/29—194.2 💠 - (Trend Weight: 194.3) No change in my eating plan yesterday as the meals were good but the snacks went overboard. Therefore, not surprisingly, no change in my weight. Luckily my trend weight is holding steady. The poor thing is giving me a chance to behave properly and stick to my guns. Perhaps today is the day that I won’t disappoint.

🌺🌺🌺🌺 Day 16—05/30—193.0 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 194.2) No weigh Friday but I decided to weigh anyway even if the times are not direct comparisons. Also, in all honesty I wanted to see how my ridiculous dinner affected me. Weekend Resident Foodie Daughter brought home more divine goods from the Resort/Country Club she works at that has their own bakery, but also commissions some of the finest baked goods around. I stuck to my pre-logged foods until about 5:00. It started when I attended a school function with DGS where we were met at the front door by the hot dog and chips stand. Who can resist FREE? Also, who can resist dinner when you haven’t eaten it yet (I usually eat at 8:00). Then snack was the luxurious food from daughter. I opted for 2 ½ stunning overly sweet cookies with 8 oz of real 2% milk (not my usual lower carb Fairlife brand). I’m surprised at the drop on the scale. I anticipate that maybe this will show up tomorrow but for now, I will relish in it (pardon the hot dog pun).

I'm working on getting my "bike legs" back. I use the Zwift app for bike workouts. It is a lot of fun.

Remember Rule #6: Free your mind and your legs with follow!

Jens Voigt had the best quote ever: Shut up Legs…

Clear Roads and easy winds to you!!!

It is not cheating. Who are you cheating? It is just what you ate. Log it and move on.

Week 1 Ending Weight: 145.3
Week 2 Ending Weight: 146.2

Day 15—05/29— 144.3. A nice and welcome surprise. Husband had an out patient minor surgery yesterday, so didn't have much of an opportunity to workout or walk. We also ordered dinner, which I tried to be careful about. So I'm not sure where this loss came from, other than spending a lot of time in the restroom, releasing some water weight.

Day 16—05/30— 145.2. Despite the increase, I had a pretty good day yesterday. Food was on track and I went for a walk. Wasn't able to get to the gym.

Day 17—05/31— 143.0. A nice little drop, I'm hoping it will stick around. Food was good, a short walk and a 4 mile treadmill run.

I like to think that I am cheating on my goal for the day, and it makes me smile. Sorry if that term is wrong, I like cheating with a ice cream sandwich sometimes, it makes me feel like I living.

@Jon4189 HA!! Perfect: "Shut up Legs!" True confession: when I first read this, I misread it as "Jon Voight" and was surprised that he was a cyclist. A sip of coffee later I realized my error and had my first laugh of the day.

Another Saturday! Good Day!

Day 15—05/29— 169.8 - Back in the 160's again! Gotta try to keep it there. Have a baseball game tonight, but will take my food in with me....that seems to help. I'll be glad when this grey weather goes away for awhile. I don't have as much ambition to do things.

Day 16—05/30—170.8 - My meds are changing a bit…my Endocrinologist is putting me on extended release metformin at a higher dose, which should help with my weight loss. Going to see my egg lady today to get another 2 dozen eggs. Got more salad mix yesterday. Food is on track.

Day 17—05/31— 170.6 - I am feeling off today.…had a bad night. Kept waking up with panic attacks, which throws everything off. And the metformin is starting to take effect in a way I hoped I could avoid. But we'll see if my body gets used to it, as the doctor suggests.

Week 3

Day 15—05/29—146.3  My eating hasn’t been bad at all, so this 3-day plateau might be due to being quite sedentary over the past five or six days because of back pain. Thankfully, the pain seems to be improving, so I'm hopeful that I can start incorporating more movement again soon.

Day 16—05/30—146.6 Eating was just ok yesterday. Leisurely walk with my mom & pup.

Day 17—05/31—145.5 Still can’t work out, or do anything too strenuous, due to back pain. Thought is was improving, but I did something to it last night and boy, I felt so disabled. Feeling a little better today so I'll take a ton of ibuprofen and take my dad to visit family gravesites around the island. Will be nice to be in the sun.
