Just Give Me 10 Days Round 310

🧄 SW Rnd 310 164.8

I am exhausted. Yesterday there was a huge accident on the highway and the entire town was in traffic gridlock. I think everyone is ok but it took me two hours to get home and then another hour to drive my daughter’s friend home. Didn’t get my workout in :-( I will do it tonight.

@jrago47 great progress!

@Skyleen75 you got this !!!!

@_JeffreyD_ I tend to consider any bar or powder to be ultra processed, no matter what the ingredients, just by virtue of it being manufactured. That being said, depends on how your body handles these things. I use protein bars a lot, but I do feel even better when I stick to whole foods. But sometimes that bar or shake is keeping me from buying a piece of pizza so…try it and see how it feels?

I don't know what's going on with my weight right now. It's steadily climbing, though I don't know why. 10 days to focus. 10 days to get it under control.

9/28: 148.2. I did a long run in the morning, followed by a lazy rest of the day.

9/29: 148.7. I had a couple of cupcakes for my birthday yesterday, but otherwise food wasn't too bad. I went for a walk at night to reach my step goal.

9/30: 146.2. Food was mostly on track, went for a walk. Husband has been sick, I'm really hoping for a miracle so the boys and I don't it.

10/1: 145.1. I'm so glad some of this stubborn bloat is starting to go away. I have no idea what caused it, but it was hanging on tight for a while. Meals were good yesterday, but snacking was a little crazy. A couple of walks, but no gym.

10/2: 145.0

10/3: 144.6. It's taking a bit of time, but the extra weight is slowly coming off. I've been mostly sticking to OMAD, with the exception of some munchies while I feed the kids dinner, that I'm trying to get under control.

9/30: 211.6 (6.2 pounds gone this month! Feeling great.)

10/1: 210.6 (finally! was on a mini plateau for a few days. I cooked a delicious salad from Greta's cookbook Every Salad Ever last night. Haven't had a single recipe go wrong out of that cookbook, I swear! My husband would agree. Thankfully he eats whatever I put on the table so I can keep everything WW friendly! He's even losing weight by default haha.)

10/2: 209.6 (yay! new decade!! I've been working hard to lose a gain I had over the summer. I am feeling motivated and inspired!)

I’m back, ready to go.

Goals for the rest of 2025

Eat mindfully. 🍎
Regain regular exercise habit beyond gardening. Walk! 👟
Check in here daily. ✏️

Weight end of last round — R279, October 30, 2024– 194.9

Date, Trend Weight, Comments

09/28 — 199.7
Ok, up a wee bit, but that’s ok. Off we go!

09/29 — 199.7
Now I remember why I don’t like weighing every day. 😊 I did stick to my calorie limit yesterday, and met my walking goal.

09/30 — 199.4
Another good day yesterday.

10/01 — 198.7
This is good—I’m feeling empowered to do something about these stupid pounds. My actual weigh in this morning was 197.2, which I wanted to post, but in the long run I know I’ll be happier posting my trend weights. I used to walk 5-8 miles almost every day but got out of the habit. I’m trying now to rebuild my walking muscle, and even just 3 days in, I see improvement. All good!

10/02 — 198.7
I had a little snack slide last night—that’s a backslide involving a snack. Not too bad calorie wise, but I’m trying to stop the late-night snack habit. I also skipped my walk due to horrible runny nose and watery eyes. I’m not sure if it’s a bad allergy attack or a cold. Oh, well, I’ll get back with it today.

10/03 — 198.6
Still coughing and blowing yesterday, so I skipped my walk, but did do some garden work and ate responsibly. Creeping downward.

09/29-182.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.0)

09/30-DNW ↔️ (Trend Weight: DNW)

10/01-183.0 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.9)

10/02-185.2 ❌ (Trend Weight: 184.0) Pizza last night which is something I just don’t eat or crave often. It’s my son’s Favorite so we went and took advantage of a Wednesday special. Part of this weight increase is probably still the travel weight since I only gave myself a 24 hour buffer before weighing. So….here I go, chasing my own tail again. No worries, I always catch it. It just sets me back time-wise. Nothing I can’t handle though. DGS and DD arrive today until Sunday night. I’m going to ask her not to fill my candy bowl with her Halloween chocolates.

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 10/03-184.2 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.1) I woke up to loud buzzing coming from the back of my main refrigerator and the food in my freezer beginning to melt. The door was shut all the way so there is some sort of problem. Fridge seems okay so far but monitoring. It is somewhat “fancy” and expensive though not new. I don’t need to spend $$$ on a new one right before this expensive dental work coming up, not to mention the Holidays! My son is an appliance repair person so I’m hoping he will fit me in his schedule soon. Fingers crossed it can be fixed! He does not live near me and he stays so busy because we are lacking almost all skilled trades in upper Michigan within 100 miles of me in all 4 directions. So frustrating!

.

It’s Friday! I decided to weigh anyway (although it is a late weigh-in) because one of my challenges has a week ending today and is thirsty for fresh numbers. I just don’t know how accurate this is for comparison. It was a great dietary day yesterday although I took a rest day from intentional exercise. Today I need to get in some movement!

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

Chapter_3 · October 3

I thought I posted this morning and then when I went to record my food, I realized I did not! We’ll get to that soon!

@_JeffreyD_ sadly, I think there’s too many ingredients and chemicals in the protein powder. Unfortunately, the cleaner it is the more expensive it is… in our house, when we need to add protein to our every day intake, we use 100% grass fed New Zealand whey protein isolate (Antler Farms). It is in stock on Amazon right now but it’s pricey. It has four ingredients which I can pronounce. I think it’s about as clean as I can get… that I’m much prefer getting protein via whole foods… (agree with @stephanj )But it’s not always doable.

@motheroftwins95 congrats on your consistency and staying with your plan! Keep it up!

@Skyleen75 you know I just love your willingness to be honest and vulnerable. Gives me permission to be real about my stuff. I learn so much from your insights. I have no doubt your determination will arrive and lead. Find your “why” and REPEAT the mantra.

I think I’m in the same place perhaps? The experience of good days and then, not so good days for who knows why?! . It’s just a matter of stringing a few together & staying on course. [Often for me, I simply FORGET. FORGET! I mean, how many YEARS does it take to actually remember? Apparently forever!] And then out of NOWHERE, I’ve eaten something that I could’ve chosen not to and then it’s just too late…

I’m trying to SLOW DOWN with each choice because I never know when I’m going to be rushing & forget…. I’m pretty much a CHILD with oppositional, defiance disorder (ODD) when it comes to my decision-making around food so I have to turn on my “parent“ often during the day… it’s not that I’m denying myself, it’s that I have to re-focus on what I want most… And it is a REAL ever-present mental tug-of-war every single day. Some days are better than others, but some type of mental gymnastics happens every.single.day. I’m learning that denying myself is 💯 necessary and then, I immediately shift gears to my “why” - AND IT’S LIKE, oh WOW, OF COURSE I DON’T WANT THAT…!!! And it is a serious, ginormous mental tug-of-war. This is who I am and it’s a worm in my brain every day all day. I hope and pray that one day food will always be FUEL, but I know that would be a miracle. I pray every day for a miracle.

I don’t know if any of that made sense but maybe one person might benefit from this ramble… or may struggle like me, with this ever-present, silent, invisible extra-heavy baggage …

so… its now Named & Claimed! Onward!!!

BHAG 128-130lbs FIRM - by 10/26. Seems like this goal is doable, but I haven’t been able to “succeed” for a good long while, so let’s do the improbable! Rnd Goal = down 1lb to 132.0 for a strong start #MindBodySoul #HSF

9/29 -dragging / a little tired this morning, but will perk up soon and have a terrific day. I will “ will it” true! I stayed up later than usual (11pm!!!!) streaming a show… Looking forward to a positive day!

9/30 Was sleepy all day yesterday. Two hour nap. Ate dinner late & no TMI x2. I never really woke up to my energetic self … I certainly tried! Will begin weighing my portions again. New day! #HSF #MindBodySoul

Planned: 🎾🏋️‍♀️👣 📖💦

10/1 DNW Sleep deprived again. Did not 🏋️‍♀️yesterday. Two hrs 🎾 was enough. Food good but carbs high. Ate two great big beautiful organic medjool dates last night - divine. Maybe that’s why I didn’t sleep? 😊 Tennis this morning.

10/2 133.0 One foot after the other. I had an OK day, as I’m heavy with a big decision… Trying to figure out - will change my day-to-day dramatically… I’ve been a member at my health /spa club for 15 years and thinking about changing which will change my routine/ tennis life/ etc. Seems like not that big of a deal, but it is for me. I captain two tennis teams, and it would mean, leaving that tennis network and joining another. It’s been on my mind for quite some time. On the food as fuel front, I think I’m once again in a “maintenance mindset” when I said I would be in a “weight loss” mindset. I will evaluate that today. My hubby is out of town until Sunday night on a big bike weekend … Hoping to focus on re-centering and building positivity. Today: 🏆🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️💗👣📖

10/3 I had planned to do so much yesterday, but got lost in “inaction”. But oh, did I piddle! I haven’t had a piddle day in so, so long and it was glorious! At least I ran errands, groceries & stayed on track with fueling my body. Today will be different. Starting with a 🎾 lesson, 🏋️‍♀️👣. Happy weekend, everyone! #HSF, #MindBodySoul

I’m Amanda, 5’2” 40F in Appalachian Virginia.

Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day):

🏃🏻‍♀️ Intentional movement 7/10 days

🚫 No alcohol 7/10 days

📝 Track 5/10 days

SW Rnd 310 - 132.0

RGW - 129.6 (hoping I’m retaining some water but we’ll see)

9/28 - 131.6 🏃🏻‍♀️Have to work harder this round and act like I’m actually trying to get healthier. Yesterday I co-hosted a baby shower for a friend and of course overindulged, but it could have been worse. I made good choices for lunch at least to offset some of the damage. DH and DSs had an adventure last night. They were at a scout campout when there was storming and heavy rain. There was a flash flood warning and they all packed up in the dark and rain. Thankfully everyone was safe and home around 9!

9/29 - 132.4 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 Not pleased with this number. Today is going to have to be a tracking day for me, as closely as I can anyway. DH is doing the cooking tonight and I’m not off to the best start, but hopefully I can right the ship.

9/30 - 129.6 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫📝 Very happy about this! Apparently there’s something to drinking all that water we’re supposed to consume. Really moved things through the system. I also tracked for the first time in a while, and though I went over, knowing I was going to track it stopped me from being too excessive. The only issue I had is that I drank my water too late (or at least it unlocked my retained water too late) and I had to pee twice in the night. Will try to get it in earlier today. I’m off today and both kids are in school for the morning. Going to start by walking the dogs and figuring out with chores I’m going to do. Once I figure that out and lift weights it will be time to pick up the 4yo!

10/1 - 128.2 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫📝 Pleasantly surprised with this number! Proud of myself for tracking two days in a row - an achievement I have not unlocked since I rejoined these challenges! Now to continue the trajectory. I’m subbing this morning so will have to neglect DS for a little while to get my strength training in this afternoon, but at least the workouts are short.

10/2 - 128.8 🏃🏻‍♀️📝 That’s a bit of correction from the low weight yesterday. All good!

10/3 - 129.0 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫📝 Being up a bit before heading into the weekend isn’t ideal, but I guess I’m still below my RGW so it could be worse. Not totally sure why I’m up but I’ll just stay the course for now. I wound up having a really active day with a dog walk, weight training, e-biking my kid around, and then a K-pop Demon Hunters Peloton ride I couldn’t resist! Going to the local university’s homecoming parade and out to dinner tonight and a birthday party tomorrow. Social weekend ahead! Gotta keep it together.

9/29: 178.3 😊📉Not much movement yesterday due to a lot of planning.

9/30: 179.7 🤨📈Late night leftover lasagna for dinner. Need I say more? At least it’s gone. No more left. What made it worse was that I had walked almost 2 mi and had a bunch of burned calories from gardening. Whatever. I know it’s going to come back off. Tap class today. I’m going to tap my tootsies off!!!💃

10/1: 179.4 📉Should have been less, but at least it’s down.

10/2: 180.0📈🤨Yesterday was a non-stop day with late-night eating along with a cocktail. No doubt this is what I’m seeing on the scale.Fortunately, I exercised a lot that morning or it would have been much worse. 🤷‍♀️

10/3: 179.4 📉After a walk and lots of other stuff. With the exercise from yesterday, I expected more. I’m thinking my calories may have been more than I estimated. It’s so hard to figure nutritional values when you eat out and the restaurant doesn’t give you any info. 🤷‍♀️

On a good note: I made Chicken Cacciatore tonight with some chicken breasts I cooked up and have ready to go. I froze the rest so I always have something on hand. One of our go-to meals is to chop up chicken breast and douse with Frank’s Red Hot sauce for a Buffalo wrap. I usually have all the other stuff to throw in the wrap. The next thing I did was make hummus with lentils instead of chickpeas. First time for that as well. We will have some dip for veggies now.

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 310 (my 240th).

Goals for every round;

First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!
to weigh less at the end of the round than the start
be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
to have a totally 10-day binge free round.

I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 135. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available. This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 67 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.

I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth".

9/27 142.6 – (trend 142.6) No structured walking; visited National Trust property - Coughton Court before it passes back into control of the family. Pleased with the round once we returned from holiday, just a pound to lose before I’m back to pre-holiday weight.

ED Rnd 309 142.6

SW Rnd 310 142.6

9/28 142.6 - (trend 142.6) 5.08 miles, met up with DS & family for a day at a Victorian living museum.

9/29 142.6 – (trend 142.6) 11.7 miles walked.

9/30 141.8 – (trend 142.5) 7.55 miles walked.

10/1 142.4 – (trend 142.5) no structured walking, hair appt. met FF including 3 DSs for lunch, supermarket shopping.

10/2 142.4 – (trend 142.5) 6.14 miles walked. Had a lovely romantic afternoon with DH, he surprised me by turning up at the end of my volunteering shift with a picnic to have in the extensive gardens, who says romance is dead after 47 years of marriage? Did mean I was over on calories, but a small price to pay.

10/3 142.4 – (trend 142.5) just short of 5 miles walked before the rain came. Will the remnants of storm Amy allow me to get out walking today?

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT! 👍👍.

Skyleen75 · October 4

@fermatamb7212 OMG I could eat a buffalo chicken salad or wrap every other day and be happy. Sometimes I do!! I use just plain full fat sour cream as my “dressing” so good.

@jrago47 “leveling down” plays ridiculous Mario Brothers style video game music!!! You’re doing it!

@Chapter_3 Truth! All of it. I’ve started calling it “food noise”. The process of making good decisions is deafeningly loud.

10/04 174.0 I knew it wouldn’t all come off in one day. Busy day yesterday, finished by taking my young friend (24 years old with some developmental issues) to a really good haunted house and hayride. The corn maze was a fun way to get extra steps!

Boat came out with no hiccups and I stayed chill the whole time. Keeping at bay the intrusive thoughts of the wheels just slipping and the boat pulling my whole work truck under water. Definitely didn’t have any of those thoughts…

With effort I can end this round strong. I’m going to have to dig deep. We got this!

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 310
Sept 28 – Oct 7, 2025

63 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress loss of 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6

GW Maintaining between 124 – 126

SW: 128.8

9/28 – 128.4 Onion rings for dinner. At least I have nothing else with it. :)

9/29 – 128.6

9/30 – 128.0 Got through dining out night #1. Tonight is lasagna at my MIL’s. I should be able to handle that OK as I have eaten it many times.

10/1 – 128.0 so this seems to be where I am at. Calories yesterday were reasonable. I have a sneaking suspicion though that I have not been post my #’s to our group.

10/2 – 128.6

10/3 – 129.2

10/4 – 129.0 Man, it is a struggle fest to get my focus back. Not tracking. Not checking in here. But I am stepping on the scale (as it creeps up). Yesterday was another fiasco with my mother’s private aids. Not intentional, but no one came to care for her yesterday, and the facility, because they know about the private aids, did not check on her. She had been left in bed since the previous night (thankfully wearing a depends) with no food, water, or other care. I discovered the issue when I called to say “hi” at 3:30. DS has programmed her phone to auto pick up as she is not capable of answering by herself. I can hear her in a distance calling “help me help me”. Anyhow, that’s the short version. I did not sleep well last night thinking about all this. See how the day goes.

JGMTD #310 #80 #discipline

F 66, married, retired. Embracing “growing younger” mindset. Being fully present to enjoy life each moment of my journey. ⬅️This is quite a tall order! I fully commit to a daily renewal of #MindBodySoul. 📖

SW R310 = ⚖️133.0

BHAG 128-130lbs FIRM - by 10/26. Seems like this goal is doable, but I haven’t been able to “succeed” for a good long while, so let’s do the improbable! Rnd Goal = down 1lb to 132.0 for a strong start #MindBodySoul #HSF

9/28 -Will target 1100 cal / 120 Pg this round.

9/29 -dragging / a little tired this morning, but will perk up soon and have a terrific day. I will “ will it” true! I stayed up later than usual (11pm!!!!) streaming a show… Looking forward to a positive day!

9/30 Was sleepy all day yesterday. Two hour nap. Ate dinner late & no TMI x2. I never really woke up to my energetic self … I certainly tried! Will begin weighing my portions again. New day! #HSF #MindBodySoul

Planned: 🎾🏋️‍♀️👣 📖💦

10/1 DNW Sleep deprived again. Did not 🏋️‍♀️yesterday. Two hrs 🎾 was enough. Food good but carbs high. Ate two great big beautiful organic medjool dates last night - divine. Maybe that’s why I didn’t sleep? 😊 Tennis this morning.

10/2 133.0 One foot after the other. I had an OK day, as I’m heavy with a big decision… Trying to figure out - will change my day-to-day dramatically… I’ve been a member at my health /spa club for 15 years and thinking about changing which will change my routine/ tennis life/ etc. Seems like not that big of a deal, but it is for me. I captain two tennis teams, and it would mean, leaving that tennis network and joining another. It’s been on my mind for quite some time. On the food as fuel front, I think I’m once again in a “maintenance mindset” when I said I would be in a “weight loss” mindset. I will evaluate that today. My hubby is out of town until Sunday night on a big bike weekend … Hoping to focus on re-centering and building positivity. Today: 🏆🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️💗👣📖

10/3 I had planned to do so much yesterday, but got lost in “inaction”. But oh, did I piddle! I haven’t had a piddle day in so so long and it was glorious! At least I ran errands, groceries & stayed on track with fueling my body. Today will be different. Starting with a 🎾 lesson, 🏋️‍♀️👣. Happy weekend, everyone! #HSF, #MindBodySoul

10/4 DNW 4hrs sleep. Stayed up super late to finish my show. 😊 Enjoyed trying a new high protein deconstructed cheesecake… 200 cal, 30Pg. Yum. 125 Pg yesterday. Headed out for my 5 mile WV 🚶‍♀️💗. Looking forward to nice day! #HSF #MindBodySoul

Zaxa2021 · October 4

5'3, 37 years old. SAHM to 4 year old twins with disabilities.

I don't know what's going on with my weight right now. It's steadily climbing, though I don't know why. 10 days to focus. 10 days to get it under control.

9/28: 148.2. I did a long run in the morning, followed by a lazy rest of the day.

9/29: 148.7. I had a couple of cupcakes for my birthday yesterday, but otherwise food wasn't too bad. I went for a walk at night to reach my step goal.

9/30: 146.2. Food was mostly on track, went for a walk. Husband has been sick, I'm really hoping for a miracle so the boys and I don't it.

10/1: 145.1. I'm so glad some of this stubborn bloat is starting to go away. I have no idea what caused it, but it was hanging on tight for a while. Meals were good yesterday, but snacking was a little crazy. A couple of walks, but no gym.

10/2: 145.0

10/3: 144.6. It's taking a bit of time, but the extra weight is slowly coming off. I've been mostly sticking to OMAD, with the exception of some munchies while I feed the kids dinner, that I'm trying to get under control.

10/4: 145.6. Welp. I really need to stay away from the crackers. It's hard not to munch on them since they are always around for the kids.

Goals:

Honest tracking daily, stay within points, 80oz of water daily, pool 5x/week, walk 1 hour a day, gratitude journal, plan my week/goals and schedule in my activity for the week every weekend, update MFP and weight spreadsheet daily

9/28 211

9/29 211

9/30: 211.6 (6.2 pounds gone this month! Feeling great.)

10/1: 210.6 (finally! was on a mini plateau for a few days. I cooked a delicious salad from Greta's cookbook Every Salad Ever last night. Haven't had a single recipe go wrong out of that cookbook, I swear! My husband would agree. Thankfully he eats whatever I put on the table so I can keep everything WW friendly! He's even losing weight by default haha.)

10/2: 209.6 (yay! new decade!! I've been working hard to lose a gain I had over the summer. I am feeling motivated and inspired!)

10/3 209.2 (I was surprised with a loss today because I had a pasta feast last night but I'll take it! Also couldn't get to the pool as much this week due to appointments but I have still been hitting my other goals)

10/4: 209.8 (went up a little bit from pasta last night. I made homemade meatballs with my stepson :) it's always fun cooking with him! Trying to teach him young! He's 12)

I’m back, ready to go.

Goals for the rest of 2025

Eat mindfully. 🍎
Regain regular exercise habit beyond gardening. Walk! 👟
Check in here daily. ✏️

Weight end of last round — R279, October 30, 2024– 194.9

Date, Trend Weight, Comments

09/28 — 199.7
Ok, up a wee bit, but that’s ok. Off we go!

09/29 — 199.7
Now I remember why I don’t like weighing every day. 😊 I did stick to my calorie limit yesterday, and met my walking goal.

09/30 — 199.4
Another good day yesterday.

10/01 — 198.7
This is good—I’m feeling empowered to do something about these stupid pounds. My actual weigh in this morning was 197.2, which I wanted to post, but in the long run I know I’ll be happier posting my trend weights. I used to walk 5-8 miles almost every day but got out of the habit. I’m trying now to rebuild my walking muscle, and even just 3 days in, I see improvement. All good!

10/02 — 198.7
I had a little snack slide last night—that’s a backslide involving a snack. Not too bad calorie wise, but I’m trying to stop the late-night snack habit. I also skipped my walk due to horrible runny nose and watery eyes. I’m not sure if it’s a bad allergy attack or a cold. Oh, well, I’ll get back with it today.

10/03 — 198.6
Still coughing and blowing yesterday, so I skipped my walk, but did do some garden work and ate responsibly. Creeping downward.

10/04 — 198.6
Off for lunch with a friend—Panera Bread half salad for me. I’ve been doing better with my snack habit, and getting more exercise. Who’s a good girl?
