This is a celebration week! I lost 3.6 pounds! That is exciting however the context is that this is the first loss that I have logged this month. I logged a zero and two weeks of gains adding up to 1.4 pounds. The other exciting thing is that I have achieved my initial goal of losing 100 pounds! I am 0.6 pounds under that goal. Whoopeeee!

According to those in the know, a 100 pound loss gives a woman goddess status. (not sure if the guys would get god status....???) That makes me an official goddess!

Now back to earth. At 170 pounds I am still in the overweight category. When I set that goal, I felt that a hundred pounds was all that I was willing to consider. Now that I have achieved that, I plan to inch my way down into virtually unknown territory weight-wise.

I have been 170 as an adult a few times and I knew what this looked and felt like. I was ever so briefly at 165 approximately 20 years ago. The last time I was 140 I was 19 years old. I was 130 at 18 years old. See what I mean? Virtually unknown territory for me at 62 years old!

It is my plan to go at this in 5 pound increments. Lose the 5 pounds. Assess and decide if that is the stopping place or if I am losing 5 more pounds. I can't fathom a weight less than 140 so that is my expected minimum weight however anything between 140 and 170 is a win for me.

Last week I was writing about my nut issues. Just for the record, I managed the nuts very well this past week. First of all I accounted for 56g of nuts that were weighed out each morning. All of the nut containers were turned or stored in such a way that I did not see them and they were not as accessible. That helped. By the end of the week I was weighing the nuts that I hadn't eaten and was able to subtract those calories off the following morning.

The other change is that I made a conscious effort to not eat past 7 pm. I achieved that most nights.

My granddaughter has been making Hello Fresh vegetarian meals for us the last 3 nights. They are fairly high calorie. So I have been portioning my share into increments that work for my plan. I have compensated by eating less to make sure which means that my calories were lower yet.

All in all a celebration week!!!
