November 2023 - Daily Accountability/Lifestyle Change - Everyone Welcome!
Hi, Everyone! Welcome to the Check-In! Let's make it a great month!
I want to welcome everyone to the Daily Accountability Check-In. Our goal is to stay accountable and on track by posting our daily food and exercise choices. All food and exercise programs are welcome. Consistency is the key to reaching our weight loss goals.
Introduce yourself or jump right in and tell us what you have been doing.
Hebrews 6:10
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
What a great reward! Robin had never looked so good. All her months of dieting paid off royally. It was beautiful to see the expressions on people's faces when they saw her. She couldn't wait to go out to show herself off. God had certainly blessed her through the rough time of dieting. There were days when she decided it just wasn't worth it. Now, she could hardly believe she ever had doubts. Looking in the mirror, she even surprised herself. She never thought she'd look this good. When we dedicate ourselves to doing things that are right and good to do, God is sure to bless us and reward us for our labors.
Today's thought: Improvement comes with practice. I can even get good at dieting!
Thank you, Diana for starting the November thread.
Goals for this month is to lose 5 pounds. Weigh daily and take my vitamins and supplements.
Going to Branson today for a short trip to pick up mail for sis.
Exercise:
Today was first of the month office stuff. I finished just in time to eat dinner and then go to Wednesday evening Bible study. No workout to report.
James 1:2
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.
Renee really felt good whenever she had the strength to say no to food that was offered to her. Each time she could refuse eating, it made her feel she'd won a moral victory. Mentally, she kept score. It became a game to see how often she could hold out between defeats. In a strange way, it made her diet enjoyable. She felt she was really accomplishing something that was important. By the end of about four months, Renee was able to defeat just about every temptation that came along. She felt God's pleasure as she grew more able to decline treats. That joy made her diet fly by.
Today's thought: Diets can be fun, especially when they're done!
This is my First Post
November 2023: 216 pounds.
First Goal is December 31, 2023: 199 pounds
I'm 63 years old, I weighed 243 pounds on March 28, 2023 when I had a stroke. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and crazy high blood pressure. I lost the use of my left leg/foot and left arm/hand. I was in the hospital and inpatient rehab for 1 month then began outpatient therapy. I'm better, no longer confined to a wheelchair. but still use a walker and quad cane.
I've lost 27 pounds (since March) and hope to lose another 17 by December 31, 2023. I have other goals, but this is the first one.
My blood pressure, sugar and sodium is under control with medicine and better eating habits. I get very little exercise, but just started walking 300 yards in my back yard with my walker (still a fall risk, so i have to a buddy with me).
