    I feel really good this morning, even though I got up twice in the night for bathroom visits.

    Vacuumed before doing anything else. Exercised. Walked the dog in the afternoon.

    I just read (actually skimmed) this FitOn article on hunger fighting ingredients. No big surprises in this article, but some good reminders.

    Hi : - )

    I am Dawn. I will turn 65 this round. I have changed my eating habits over time. I basically eat half of the amount that I used to, and have limited eating Ribs to once every 3 months instead of once per week.

    Week 1 Start Weight: 137.8

    Week 1 Goal: 136.8

    Week 1 Actual Weight: 140.8 - Exactly a 3 pound gain : - (

    Week 2 Start Weight: 140.2

    Week 2 Goal: 136.6 - ambitious I know

    Week 2 Actual Weight: 137.6

    Week 3 Start Weight: 137.6

    Week 3 Goal: 135.6

    Week 3 Actual Weight: 136.5

    Week 4 Start Weight: 135.2

    Week 4 Goal: 135.0

    Week 4 Actual Weight: 136.0

    Week 5 Start Weight: 136.0 - 65th birthday weight

    Week 5 Goal: 135.0 136.5

    Week 5 Actual Weight: 136.2

    Day 36—09/27 — 136.8 - That was a long slog of travel, plane delays etc. I packed lots and lots of food: 2 apples cut up into 3 containers, an entire green pepper cut up into 2 containers, a container of hummus and 8 water crackers, 2 halves of a turkey sandwich. I ate all of that except 1/2 of a sandwich, plus I had pretzels and a cookie on the plane. My suitcase was overweight, so I had to take out my jeans, slippers, and coat and squish them into my carryon/laptop bag.

    I would have liked to sleep longer this morning than I did. Way too much to do at home, but trying desperately to keep having the memories of my trip alive so that I can think about the feelings and emotions that I had.

    Planning Ribs tonight or tomorrow. I will take the 3-5 pound gain.

    Day 37—09/28 — 136.4 - Nice weight considering that I had Ribs last evening. I attribute the weight to a few things: I was feeling so strong up at the cabin, gathering wood, up and over so many rocks eating healthy, many squats when making the fire, I felt lean the whole time that I was there but my weight didn't reflect it, maybe that is catching up. I ate early last night, 5pm, went to bed early but woke up with terrible cramping at 1am. I got up, took 2 magnesium and had 2 small glasses of Cran10. I drank water all day, but I didn't put anything in it even though I do have lemons and lemon juice. I know better, water robs electrolytes when you drink quite a bit of it. I will be sure to add lemon today. Got up at 5am like I have been, but was very tired so went back to bed and listened to the radio for a half hour and went back to sleep. I put the bedside radio on for my usual 7am Classical music hour on CBC and got out of bed at 8am and weighed. So later weigh time. Most things (for me) take many days to show up on the scale. The next 2 days I have a great deal of work to do outside because after that it is going to rain until October 10th. I will cut the grass, begin digging the potato garden which will likely take 8 hours to complete, getting the weeds out, digging up the potatoes, then covering the area with the thick black plastic. I did some harvesting yesterday, and I had done a bunch before I left. There are still 24 pepper plants in 2 6'X3' beds to uncover and harvest what grew while I was away plus weed those. I eat an entire pepper raw each day, so I will save about 14 of those in the fridge and begin prepping the rest for freezing during the rainy days before I go back to work on Friday. I will make Nachos tonight with all of my fresh peppers and tomatoes, and pita pizza tomorrow night with the same.

    @deepwoodslady

    But the good news is that you won't be able to eat in restaurants after the crown. I have had 2 and it was suggested nothing at all until the anesthetic word off, nothing too cold or hot to drink, very soft foods such as yoghurt for the first 24 hours to let the cement cure.

    100 Days of Weighing In #24 ^^^^^ Aug 23, 2025 through Nov 30, 2025

    My Name is Donna, Age 65. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA

    “We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” - Maya Angelou

    Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 185.6

    Goal This Round: 175.6 (10 pounds)

    Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx

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

    Thoughts at the start of this round:

    This round will be challenging as it includes the U.S. holidays of Labor Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving. All are big foodie or party and dessert type holidays in the U.S. There are also multiple birthday celebrations in my family. In addition, there will be a lot of travel which is traditional in the fall for me as I try to avoid as many icy driving trips as possible in the winter months. There will be lots of doctor appointments away from home as well as Christmas and gift-giving shopping in this round. I will have to make sure I stay on top of my plan in every moment I can and to make the necessary corrections every time the scale goes up. We can’t control the ingredients in restaurant food so portion control will be key when away from home. I will again aim for a 10 pound loss this round. Thanks for sharing your journey with me and allowing me to share mine. I am grateful for you all.

    CURRENT WEEK:

    Day 37—09/28—183.4 ✅ (Trend Weight – 184.2) A small drop today which seems to be a miracle because I know what I ate last night and what time I ate it. It was ridiculous! I’m so glad I got my lazy *kitten* on that exercise bike when I just didn’t feel like it. I’m sure that helped. I also raked leaves and burned for 3 hours just trying to keep up. So the extra calorie burn apparently paid off.

    🐝🐝🐝🐝 Day 38—09/29—182.0 ✅ (Trend Weight – 184.0) Travel Day. Time to go get my $2000.00 crown replaced due to receding gums. Oh Joy!

    Day 39—09/30— I will probably come back a day or two late to record my weight for September end. After travel, giving it a day or two will allow the most accurate true numbers to reveal themselves.

    @tinathescreamer I also grew up in a growing region. I recall bringing an elderly friend a basket of peaches and she took a bite and savoured it and said how delicious it was because it was fresh and I said those aren't fresh, they were picked two days ago. She and my mother just laughed. It is as an adult and no longer living so close to a growing region that I understand what they meant. My husband does buy what is in season and we do have a fresh food market between us and Costco, from spring to fall he shops there. We also still visit family who still live in our home town and we stop to buy fruit & vegetables directly from the farmers.

    @deepwoodslady Good luck with the crown.

    @dawnbgethealthy Always love your garden updates.
