100 day Challenge #24 August 23.25 – November 30.25

Good Evening, All!

@Lynn__W , mmmm....turkey.…😋. Enjoy!

Day 50—10/11— 161 - Not a huge loss this half, but I will take any loss as a win.

Didn't have breakfast. Will have my homemade chili for lunch….looking forward to that. Spent yesterday afternoon in the kitchen fussing over it.

It's a gloomy weekend here with the Nor'easter. But at least it's not hot anymore.

Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 1.6

Day 51—10/12— 161 - Had more chili and fresh raspberries for lunch but forgot to take my meds so my blood sugar is elevated for the moment. I stopped at the (no longer the) Dollar Store to look for glass plates for a craft project, but they only had ceramic. I did leave with 3 solar-powered light up pumpkins 🎃 though.

Day 52—10/13— 160.8 - Feeling blah today...the Nor'easter is still hanging around. Had chili for lunch again...thinking about egg salad for dinner.

I was posting back and forth with a guy in Motivation who can't seem to lose weight (he is obese) and every suggestion I have he shot down. Total negativity. I finally gave up....I think he just wanted people to feel sorry for him. He needs more help than anyone here can give him but he says it takes 3 months to get an appointment. If he'd done that 3 months ago, he wouldn't even have that excuse.

Hi I’m Jenny, 60 years old and 5’6” - back again after another unhealthy “hiatus.” My sister and I 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!

Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 6.8

Day 51—10/12: 217.8 – I was afraid there’s be a bump up yesterday afternoon because DH and I went out to eat yesterday afternoon, but I kept it to 2 tequila/seltzers and an appetizer of blackened mahi bites – about 5 oz of fish strips. Yummy and I felt like it was a treat without going overboard, and the scale still is on a downward trend so yay! Did a pilates workout & stretch and ready to enjoy some football. J

Day 52—10/13: 217.2 – I can’t remember the last time I weighed in on a Monday and didn’t at least have a water weight bump up from loosening the reins over the weekend. I kept the “loosenng” very moderate though and was conscious of my calorie intake so I’m proud of that. Did a great cardio and stretch this morning and back to strictness today!

Day 53—10/14: 217.6 – I knew the streak had to end sooner or later! I’ve pushed a little harder in my workouts the past couple of days, so might be a bit of inflammation. Or maybe yesterday's was artificially low because of the sweaty workout. 🙄

@frankwbrown Love the consistent losses you've had over that past few weeks. Keep with it!

@jennysweet58 re "I knew the streak had to end sooner or later!" —> Daily fluctuations are 100% normal. It is the trend over time that really matters. That is why many of us include a 7, 10 or 20 day trend in our daily posts. No pun intended: Don't sweat the small stuff!
