    I went way over yesterday. The good news is that it didn't negatively impact my 7 day trend weight (yet). I know it is the trend over time that matters. One day of excess does not define me and today I will get back on track. To get my 7 day trend IN calories back to 1770 in 7 days, I need to target 1600 IN for the next 6 days. I know myself well enough to know that I will not achieve that. Not wanting to set myself up for failure, I will keep my target IN at 1770.

    That has been my downfall (or weight gains) as well. I need to weigh myself daily moving forward!

    @ptitejeanne A new decade for you! Horray! Solidly 159. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!

    age_is_just_a_number The handyman never showed up. At 4:00 he finally texted me that he was getting some new tires put on. What??? You didn't know that yesterday when you scheduled or this morning when you didn't drive over? Humph. So hard to get good reliable help! So he rescheduled for today. I set alarm, woke up early and tidy-ed (tidied?) up house a bit and waited…waited. Finally he texts that he's going to spend some time with his young son. Okay, but you didn't know that yesterday??? Honestly, I know he is dreading this particular job and would rather start something else around here, but I really want this done. I think he will do a very good job based on his previous work with me and others so I wait….. The plan is for tomorrow now.

    More than ever, I need to focus on my health. I know what to do, I just need to work on consistency.

    Week 11

    Day 71—07/24—146.2 Going in the wrong direction.

    Day 72—07/25—DNW

    Day 73—07/26—146.9  Yikes! Too much eating out this past week. I’m seeing a local production today, of the Broadway hit Come From Away. I’m typically not one for musicals unless my son is in it. But I’m excited for this one which is based on the events in the Newfoundland town of Gander during the week following the September 11 attacks. I’ll have to make it a point to eat at home first. Enough of eating out for awhile.

    Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.2

    Goal This Round: 184.2 (10 pounds)

    Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx

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

    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. This breaks down to 0.7 lbs per challenge week. I don’t think that is too much to ask of my mind, my body and my spirit! 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.

    CURRENT WEEK:

    Day 72—07/25—188.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 189.5)

    Day 73—07/26—187.2 ✅ (Trend Weight: 189.2)

    Day 74—07/27—186.2 ✅ (Trend Weight: 188.9) Another nice drop for me but I honestly think I’ve had too many days of calories way lower than goal. I've been very conscious of my plan and goals. I had several pounds to make up for this week in my weekly goal and maybe went a bit too far. I’ve also been a bit too busy and tired to eat as much while watching DGS after surgery. My meals have been planned but small. My snacks have been few. I’ve been feeling very light-headed because of it. Not in my diabetic way but different. I think I need a day of more calories. At least to goal if not a bit higher. However, I don’t know that it will be today. I just feel like someone handed me that ball and instinct told me to run with it. I don’t want to just increase the calories with junk and garbage. I’ll put some thought into it. Soon though….. I also need sleep. Bad! I’ve seriously been getting either 2 hours or 3 hours for the past couple of days. I hope after DGS leaves tonight I can get to bed a little earlier and finally get some zzzz’s.

    🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️Day 75—07/28—185.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 188.5) Pre-logged yesterday increasing my calories just a bit. Ate my meals and snacks as planned. However, I didn’t drink the 8 oz glass of 2% milk I’d added on in order to increase the calories a bit more (while adding a bit of protein). It was just too hot and I was satisfied without it. So calories were still a tad lower than goal but more than in the past few days. My handyman never showed up yesterday and no word from him today. No cancellation text or call either because if he doesn’t show up it means he’s not coming, right? What does it take to get anyone to work in this one-horse town? It’s hot and we are surrounded by lakes and a river. I bet I know where he is today! Just so you get a little idea about my town. We have one small building inspection building with one inspector employed. I called up once (on a beautiful summer day) to set up an appointment and got the answering machine. It said he was “fishin” today and to try again tomorrow. That’s just how things work around here. I’m originally from a large suburban area outside of Detroit so I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it!
