100 day Challenge #24 August 23.25 – November 30.25

Yes! They are very much puppies, just like any other puppy, but grow big. She was 25lbs at 10 weeks and consistently put on 2 lbs a week until she was 10 months old, then it changed to about 1 lbs a week until she was about 18 months old, then a lbs a month until about 2 years. She is 125lbs now and it fully grown.
But when you have a 50+lbs 6month old puppy, they act just like a giant puppy.

Previous Rounds Tallys:

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.

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

Old kitchen floor has been removed and is “raw” right now as the kitchen is getting primed for paint over the next couple of days. I’m feeling good about that. As it lifts my depression a bit, it helps me in all areas including my weight loss plan. Emotions have always played a big role in my eating…..

Thank you!!! Yes very excited!!! 😆 Right now the nerves of the last minute details, scared to forget something… but once were gone!!! The nerves stays home 🤪

Hi I’m Jenny, 60 years old and 5’6” - back again after another unhealthy “hiatus.” My sister is here for a visit and we have made a commitment to each other to stay accountable – 50 days is still plenty of time to make some real progress, and I’m determined to get out of my own way!

Day 45—10/06: 222.6 – back on track

Day 46—10/07: DNW – up super early for a quick cardio workout before a doctor’s apt.

Day 47—10/08: 220.0 – did a cardio/weights workout & stretch, I always feel so good once I get a couple of days in, stronger and more energetic. Maybe by the end of the week I’ll break even to where I was.

Day 48—10/09: 219.2 – good to see the water whoosh is continuing, did a standing pilates workout & stretch this morning. Now to troubleshoot computer issues, ugh!

Day 49—10/10: 219.0 – Did a cardio workout & stretch with my sister before she hit the road – feeling very locked in knowing she’ll be keeping me accountable!

Week 7 Loss or Gain: -3.6 pounds

Cumulative loss: 6 pounds

Safe travels!!

Good Fri-YAY! I see some good progress from you....keep it up!

@frankwbrown , nice week! WTG!

Day 43—10/04— 162.4 - Had a really nice breakfast out with a friend....that was basically my meal for the day.

Day 44—10/05— 162 - Stopped at the grocery store yesterday and picked up some yogurt and poblano peppers for the chili I have yet to make. Had some of the yogurt for breakfast this morning. Got another busy day ahead....cleaning and decorating for fall. Phillies lost, so I need something to cheer me up. Hoping the Eagles can help with that.

Day 45—10/06— 161.6 - Bad weekend for sports here. The only team that won was Temple...lol!

I thought all the exercise I had yesterday with working around the apartment would have helped with the weight, but not enough. Still have more to do today. Got all the furniture moved, though. Will probably have yogurt for breakfast and beef stew for lunch. Not sure about dinner....maybe a salad.

Day 46—10/07— 162 - Got most of my decorating done...just a few more things to put out. Need to set up a donation pickup so I can get those things out of here.

Had an Atkins shake for breakfast....will probably have leftover beef stew for lunch. Sandwich and small salad for dinner....I bought more canned tuna.

Phils lost again....I don't see them winning the next 3, but that's what they gotta do.

Day 47—10/08— 160.8 - Had yogurt for breakfast this morning. Still undecided about the rest of the day. Expecting rain today and seasonal temps later. Can't wait!

Heard about the issue with diet soda. Now I don't drink a lot of it....only occasionally. I prefer iced or hot tea with Stevia. I had my lab work done recently, and all my liver numbers were normal, so I will be cautious, but not worry.

Day 48—10/09— 161 - Had a couple of scrambled eggs for breakfast. Thinking about fish for dinner. But it's time to make the chili… it's finally feeling like fall! Hopefully tomorrow.

The Phillies pulled off a miracle….they won last night! They still have to win tonight, and I will be watching. And it's time to put my house hydrangea into hibernation and repot my Monstera. And I need to get outside my apartment and cut down all the sunflowers that grew around my birdfeeder so I can start feeding the birds again. Right now, they probably have plenty to eat in the wild, but that will change soon.

Day 49—10/10— 160.8 - Didn't quite hit goal, but closer this time. I haven't eaten yet so I guess lunch will be my first meal. Today is chili making day, too.

The Phillies were eliminated. 😢 Too many issues although the Dodgers didn't play any better and won on a error....that doesn't take talent. Oh well…we'll see if there are any positive changes over the winter.

Week 7 Start Weight: 162.4

Week 7 Goal: 160
