    @deepwoodslady I hope your grandson's surgery goes well. Tonsil removal is pretty routine these days. Regarding being at the hospital, I like to plan ahead and bring a baggie with cut up carrots, celery sticks, a baby bell cheese and/or a small bag of nuts. I find when I do that, I'm less inclined to visit the vending machine.

    Week Ending Wts:

    Week 1: 178.6

    Week 10:

    Day 64 ~ 07/17: 175.8 Road trip 4hrs north & home again. Sandwich for lunch and thin crust pizza for dinner.

    Day 65 ~ 07/18: 175.6 Errands then 5 – 6 hrs ‘on the road’ late afternoon as we look at a replacement car ß postponed. Needed afternoon of R&R.

    Day 66 ~ 07/19: Road trip followed by 4 hr work shift. Waaay too many carbs then hit with a sweet craving. Thankfully only ate half of the decadent brownie. Yea Me!!

    Day 67 ~ 07/20: 176.6 Avoiding carbs today in hopes of staving off a gain from yesterday. In addition to work and home, I have two big projects 'on the go'; my mind is tired, body is 'surviving', feel like I'm just treading water. But if I say anything to anyone their response is "just quit working!!!!"; but they don't get that 'work' is what helps me from 'getting owned' by family members.

    Day 68 ~ 07/21: 175.2 Super tired but got thru the day. Ended with 2 slices banana bread which wasn’t the smartest.

    Day 69 ~ 07/22: 177.4 Reminding myself that "You don't have to throw a pass down the whole length of the field to score a touchdown. You can get there one yard at a time.". Feel it's the beginning of the 4th quarter and my QB got sacked and run over last night. But we're still in the game. Quick time out to 'talk about what went wrong. What didn't work." . . . Game Plan: Get back to basics with focus on heart (and mind) health. Signed: "Forever Optomistic".

    Day 70 ~ 07/23:

    Week 10 Start Weight: 175.8

    Week 10 Goal: 175

    Week 10 Actual Weight:
