SherryeB's Journal, 16 March 2022

Changed my goal from 142 to 144 today. Since I'm happy to be at 145 or below, I decided that was a good goal. Last Summer, I was hovering around 142...even below sometimes. So, I lowered my goal down from 145. Am I giving up or compromising? For now I feel it's more realistic since I'm eating maintenance calories, and for the foreseeable future, I don't think that will change.

I got the results back from my bloodwork. Cholesterol is up slightly. I looked back at what I was eating 6 months ago when I was last tested. I don't think it's my diet. I'm more inclined to think it's a reduced exercise level. I really need to work on that. I skipped my walk yesterday afternoon. I was feeling tired from getting up early for my appointment. I'm thankful for Hubby motivating me today to get out, even though it was overcast & had been raining earlier.

I made oven roasted Turkey sausage with veggies for dinner tonight. I decided to cut the sausage servings in half....cooking only one of the links (shared by Hubby & I) and saving the other for another meal. I also happily let him eat my resteraunt leftovers of Chicken Parm & pasta for lunch.

I accidentally cleaned the fridge out today 😁 I started with wiping down one of the turntables on a shelf....before I knew it, I had cleaned the whole fridge, including pulling out the veggie & fruit bins, cleaning underneath, and disposing of stuff I determined needed to go.

Ended the day under 1800 calories....even after dessert.

146.2 lb Lost so far: 26.6 lb.    Still to go: 11.2 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
