What's Up Wednesday ~ May 2022
Weekly Weigh In ~ 5/25/2022
Once again (for the bazillionth time), I'm starting on a weight loss journey.
I really don't know how I lost this week other than the fact that I had a touch of a stomach bug over the weekend.
Exercise: none
Tracking: non-existent
Putting that behind me, my goal for this week is to get back on the tracking and exercise band-wagon. I gave myself Monday off to fully recuperate from the "bug". But after that, I'm hitting it hard.
Only 1.5 weeks until my dr. appt. I don't know if I'll manage to lose 3.6 pounds by then, but I've lost almost 17 lbs! That is BIG for me :) And I don't plan on stopping :)
Highest Weight ~ 300.0 lbs
This Week's Weight ~ 5/23/2022 ~ 283.6 lbs.
This Week's Total: -1.4 lbs.
Grand Total: -16.4 lbs

My Weekly Bookishness ~ 5/20/2022
Commander Brett Murphy left his family’s construction firm in Oklahoma City for a life of hard work at Three Rivers Ranch. Alone, without a wife and kids, Brett needs the camaraderie he enjoyed while serving overseas with his Army buddies, Squire Ackerman and Peter Marshall.
What Brett doesn’t need is the reappearance of his ex-wife. Fiery Kate Donnely has come to Three Rivers to confess to Brett that they’re still married, and oh, he has a seven-year-old son she never told him about. At least not in letters she mailed.
Eight years ago, Kate left Oklahoma City only weeks after Brett’s first deployment, shamed because of her bad choices and the unborn child of a man she’d already asked for a divorce. She needs him to sign the papers now or she can’t have access to her hefty inheritance. But Brett absolutely does not want Kate to take his son away from him again.
They strike a deal: She’ll stay at Three Rivers for the summer so Brett can have the opportunity to get to know his son. How far will they have to go and how much will they have to forgive in order to become a family?

Weekly Weigh In ~ 5/18/2022
Once again (for the bazillionth time), I'm starting on a weight loss journey.
I did NOT improve my consistency this week with exercise. I did GREAT Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and walked for an hour each day on top of my regular movement. The rest of the week had movement but not "walking for exercise".
I think I'm getting hung up on the thought of walking for an entire hour and then not doing it. This week, I'm trying a different strategy.
I'm going to walk for 1/2 an hour each day for exercise. 30 minutes doesn't seem as daunting as a full hour does. I'll give it a try for a week or two and then reassess.
I managed to lose 1.0 lb, even though the 100 calorie granola bars are becoming more of a liability than a quick snack. I can't stay out of them! I don't think I'll buy any this next week and see how I do without having a fix of chocolate!
