    Day 6 – USA/GA – NFD – 239 lbs.

    Well, I did OMAD yesterday with my chicken and hummus wrap and fresh herbs someone at work brought me. So delicious, but my mom made some pasta and really wanted me to try some. I probably had a two cup serving, but I think the bloat carried over this morning to be up by a bit over a pound. Anyway, I’ll continue the picky/occasional eater trend. I probably won’t OMAD over the next two days, but will continue mindfulness. I am trying to focus on protein and fresh vegetables/fruit over processed carbs while thinking about my TDEE.

    Day 6 NE England CD

    I feel like I’m having a pretty good week. No movement on the scale but I can take that.
    No snacking has been much easier than expected so should be no problem carrying that on!
    Like you @northgeorgia I’m trying to focus on avoiding carbs, especially processed. Everyone is still excited and motivated with our exercise challenge so that’s great to see.
    I’ve had my hair cut quite short today, hairdresser calls it a pixie cut, I feel like a new woman!!

    Day 6 – UK – FD

    A bit of a nonstop type of a day…….

    Left home at 0830 to go help DD with her dog walking business (her DH has to use her car for work whilst his is waiting a repair job at the garage….

    After a light lunch with her, I headed back home – luckily I remembered to pick up an order of bread rolls that we need for a cafe I’m helping to run at our Parish Centre tomorrow as a fund raiser – we sell a lot of bacon rolls to the local Park Runners and people who come to the Craft fair that is happening there tomorrow – then I baked a rhubarb and custard traybake, lemon and blueberry loaf, banana and chocolate loaf and a chocolate brownie…….also made a large batch of carrot and coriander soup for lunchtime sales tomorrow……another volunteer is doing another soup so we can offer a choice….

    Tomorrow will be another early start to set up the cafe then I hope cooking lots of bacon/eggs for the rolls we anticipate selling – we open the cafe at 0930 for the park runners and keep it going until around 1700hrs when the craft fair closes too…..selling homemade cakes made by our wonderful volunteer ladies and also soup at lunch time

    Just had a lovely hot shower and feeling a tad tired now and can’t face food after all that baking so that is a good thing as it will help me stick to my planned FD

    Day 7 – South Africa 🇿🇦 – NFD

    @iona72 – I had a haircut too yesterday. I can’t say I feel like a new man, but I can now take off my beanie in public without scaring people 😅

    @at – wow – that was a busy day?! And you did all that baking & still managed a FD?! You’re super-human!🥇

    Sometimes I really hate technology. I just spent half an hour trying to log into my chrome book, because it was asking for my Google password, & then said my password was wrong – which it wasn’t 🤯 Anyway, I’m aiming to be a weekend warrior, with a good CD today & a FD tomorrow 🏹 I’m finding the ‘no snacking’ much easier than I imagined. It really is just a habit, & the solution is to be just a little more mindful when those thoughts pop into your head. It’s seldom genuine hunger when we go peering into the cupboards or the fridge.

    Have a great weekend everyone 🌤 🌈

    Day 7 – USA/GA – NFD – 238 lbs.

    Down a bit from yesterday morning, and my average weight is similar to how it was before vacation. I know I have days ahead with meals as part of a function; I just have to remember to be a picky eater and balance out anything unusual with my other meals to be below TDEE. In fact, I’m going to look up my goal weight TDEE as a reminder of where my calories should be for maintenance when I eventually get there. I’m hoping to make a real difference this summer 🙂

    Day 8 – South Africa 🇿🇦 – FD 💪

    Brrr! There’s a cold front sweeping most of the country, & weather warnings have been issued in several provinces. I feel like hibernating. I doubt we’ll have any snow where I live, but we’ve got rain on the way.

    @northgeorgia. I think there was a typo in your last sentence yesterday. “I’m hoping to make a real difference this summer.” I’m sure you meant to write. “I’m going to make a real difference this summer” ✅

    Happy S🌞 nday!

    Day 8 – UK – NFD
    Day 7 – NFD

    A very busy day helping run the cafe – what a great group of volunteers 🤗

    Must have done around 50 bacon rolls – served a lot of tea/coffee and multiple bowls of soup and nearly sold out of cakes …..must have been the rainy weather that brought folks in so🤞we raised a good sum of money for the running of the parish centre

    Tired out when I got home – had a lovely hot shower to wash the smell of bacon off me and enjoyed a big glass of wine with an easy dinner and then slept like a log……

    @funshipfreddie – not superwoman at all…….just seem to lose my appetite when I’m cooking a lot of food……

    Wanted to do a quick log in here before heading out with a friend for a gentle flattish walk to stretch the legs but the weather is not enticing wet with dark clouds but the weather forecast is for an improvement on the rain front at least

    Day 8 – USA/GA – FD – 239 lbs.

    Don’t forget the importance of exercise! Something that gets you taking in oxygen more than usual. I’m not talking the negligible amount lost through “calorie burning” sold in the media; I’m talking about the scientific research that fat converts to water and carbon dioxide. To increase CO2 output, you have to increase the body’s need to use O2. This morning, for example, I was at 240.0 lbs. I got dressed and went out to pick up small limbs and sticks from last night storm (aside: the people in the north of the county and in the counties south of us suffered 80 mph winds that knocked down trees, damaged property, and killed one person driving in their car when a tree fell on them). It took about 30 – 45 minutes, a lot of walking up and down hills, dragging armloads back and forth, etc. When I came back in to rest, I weighed myself and was already down half a pound. So, it’s a good reminder that exercise plays a role in weight loss, just very different from the marketed perception.

    Yes, I am making a difference, not hoping 🙂 I did “mess up” a bit yesterday with less defined meals and more snacking, but I forbade myself from falling down the pit of surrender. For example, I allowed myself a mini ice cream bar after a meal, but did not give in to the urge later in the day to grab a box of crackers or a bag of potato chips. I am sticking to the picky, occasional eater profile for the long haul. It would be great to see no more 240s by the time July gets here. Then I’ll start working on getting into the 220s.
