Weigh In Day Today & Learning Stress Really Does Effect Weight Loss!

 I was hopeful for a couple of pound loss this morning, maybe even 3 or 4 pounds, but I hopped on the scale to discover that I lost 5.8 pounds! Woohoo! I am now down to 244.4!! I am super happy with that. I also realize that the stressful week I had really did play a contributing factor in my weight gain last weigh in. 

I am just thankful that I didn't let it discourage me and I kept going. I had a better 8 days and now I am reaping the reward! I couldn't be prouder of my progress. I am now 27.8 pounds down from my start date of 11/9/20! My ultimate goal is to be in the 230's before our vacation that starts 2/14/21! It's not such an impossibility and I will do my best! 

Day 73-80 A Much Better Week

This stretch of 8 days has gone better. I had a few struggles in the beginning with hunger, but I fought them off for the most part. Not sure if it's the really cold weather making me crave things or what! But it seems to be better now. Monday through today has been going much smoother and has been easier for me once again. Which is good! So I am hopeful for better results with my weigh in tomorrow! I am really hoping for a drop tomorrow and not just the .08 I gained last weigh in! 

Day 72 - A Good Off Day

 I had a good off day yesterday! I had a few days off from work and it allowed me to get some much needed organizing done. My kids also worked on their rooms. I helped my son off and on and we made lots of progress in his room!

Today my focus is just getting back on track with what I was doing before so I can drop some weight my next weigh in. This is the first time since I started my 8 days on/1 day off program that I actually gained weight! It is clear stress plays a strong roll with the weight loss. 

I am hopeful and will do my best the next 8 days so I can succeed and be back in the 240's! 

Weigh In Day - I'm Up!

 I weighed in at 250.2 this morning. That is up by .08lbs. I haven't eatin' exactly healthy choices this week, plus I ate out a few times for dinner. The stress that started in the beginning of the week was a huge contributing factor to my weight gain as far as I'm concerned. Because in reality, I did not eat more then I burned all week. Yes, I ate an average of 200 calories more per day then I have in the past, but that would not warrant a weight gain. Even if I was off a few calories! So I know it has to be the stress. My diet has not been great this week with my choices either and I just felt like I wasn't going to lose this week. And I was right, I did not.

So the plan is to get back on track and eat a healthier diet on my on days! No more cheeseburgers!! Focus on getting the processed food out of my house and hopefully see a loss at my next weigh in! I gave myself some time to get through a very difficult week, now it is time to find the strength to do a better job this week! Please stay focused! Please stay focused! That will be my mantra this week! 

67-70 Went Ok, But I Could Have Done Better

 I had pizza Friday night and not sure if I calculated my calories right. Plus, I have been home Saturday, Sunday & Monday. Although I did stay around 1500 calories or less a day, I'm not feeling good about Tuesdays weigh in. So we shall see what happens! Tuesday's weigh in whether good or bad, it is what it is! It is an under statement to say I had a rough week! 

Day 65 & 66 - Nothing Exciting To Report

 I've had a couple of good days. My calories have snuck up closer to 1600 yesterday as I had a snack before I went upstairs. I'm trying to curb bad habits coming back. I think the stress of the week hasn't helped. I think after regrouping this week, hopefully my next 8 days will go better! 

Today I am meeting a friend after work. I have not snacked all day in hopes of making sure my calories don't go over my 1500 per day goal! I have the next 4 days off from work so I can work on things around the house including my son's room. I am hopeful I will stay busy and will do my best to avoid snacking! I would like to end this week on a high note!

Time To Regroup & Come Up With A New Plan!

I've been thinking a lot about how my Flexitarian diet went or should I say didn't went. LOL. I could give it another try, but I just don't think it's for me. Plus, the high protein I need to help with my hunger and cravings are just too difficult to achieve with a plant based diet. Unless I want to eat beans at all 3 meals! No, just no. Yes there are some vegetables that have protein and I could eat nuts, but my calories for those two meals would go up by 2 to 3 times just to get the same amount of protein I was getting on my old plan! Even with beans, that would be the case. So this is my conundrum with the WFPB diet. And yes a WFPB diet would be eating healthier, but I wouldn't lose the weight as quickly because my calories will go up! Because no matter what, to lose weight, you need to eat less then you burn! 

After feeling hungry most of the day on Monday, I came to realize that what I was doing was working and the high protein really did help! Not having that made a big difference with my cravings! But I can still eat healthy, even with meat and dairy in my diet!

One of the concerns I had with the WFPB diet is the difficulty I would have with eating out and also having to make something for me that is different from the rest of the family for dinner. Because I was not going to force them on this WFPB diet! But we have talked as a family and we have all vowed to try to go to a whole foods diet. We are taking it step by step and making small changes in an attempt to get some of the processed food out of the house. So my hope is we can do this together as a family instead of it being a diet only I will do. I think this is a good compromise and will be a heck of a lot easier if I can have my whole family be a part of this change!

I'm hoping we can have a majority of the processed stuff out of the house in the next two weeks. We will stick to making things from scratch, staying away from added sugars and using maple syrup as an alternative to processed sugar and keeping away from processed boxed foods! Most of the stuff I bought at the grocery store the other day for my WFPB diet we can still enjoy! It's mostly the silken tofu we will not eat. I really didn't like the plant based "sour cream" I made from silken tofu and I threw it out! I plan on making the kids some scrambled eggs mixed with the firm tofu I bought later this week to use that up! Crossing my fingers the kids don't hate it! Lol! 

Some good changes are ahead for my entire family! 

Day 64 - A Much Better Day!

Yesterday was a much better day all in all! My calories have averaged about 1500 per day the last couple of days but I'm ok with it. With everything I dealt with this week, I am just glad I am at least sticking within my goal window!! 

I am back to doing what I was originally doing. I am hoping to regroup this week and figure out my new plan and go from there! I'm not pressuring myself to turn things around right now. I want to get things figured out and start fresh on Wednesday with a new plan in hand! Onward!

Day 63 - Stress Overload!

Yesterday was one of the worst days I've had interacting with a guest. I have mentioned that I have been dealing with a difficult guest over the last couple of days. Well that guest is finally out of my motel and I will go into a little more detail at this point.

I was helping a guest through an organization that helps people in domestic violence situations. They housed a woman here on Sunday for one night. It turns out this woman was very paranoid and I believe in need of some mental help. She was rather rude to me and saying things such as someone was stalking her and may come to the motel and try to sell drugs to my other guests. And if she leaves someone may break into her room, so I shouldn't be surprised if I end up with a broken window. 

It just got worse later on Sunday as she called and was being difficult on the phone. I finally got a hold of the organization that put her up in the room and I needed to give her a message to call them. I came to her room to give her the message and she pretty much told me I was acting weird and I was touched in the head. She then told me to leave and slammed the door in my face. 

I called the agency and told them that I would not allow her to stay more then the one night and really wanted her out immediately. But they had no place to put her. Thankfully I didn't hear from her again that night. The agency that put her there was supposed to take care of the situation first thing but that didn't happen. We didn't get her out of the room until 2:30pm and that was only because she left in an ambulance and we have no idea why. So I had the agency pick up her stuff and changed her code. It was clear by the condition of her room she had no intentions of leaving even though she was told she needed to check out on Monday. I knew this would happen because she kept referring to housing laws that don't apply to me as a motel. 

We thought all was good but she returned to the motel at 5:50am yesterday morning and got back into the room. We think the door was not latched all the way so she was able to get in. She was very combative when I came to the motel to tell her she needed to leave or I was calling the police. We had several interactions that were unpleasant and she sprayed a whole can of pepper spray on me. I stood my ground and wouldn't budge until the police got there. This all started about 10:20am and they finally got her in a taxi at 12:45pm and out of my mote!! She was being taken to St. Albans. Thanks goodness!! 

Needless to say I was pretty upset at this woman. I tried playing nice but I was beyond losing my patience with her when I found out she was at the motel on Tuesday morning! Mental health issues or not, she was just down right rude and nasty and I gave her no reason to be. Hopefully she gets the help she needs, because she definitely needs help!

Even with all that I managed to keep my calories under 1500! So total win! I did need to get some shopping done so after a nice lunch with my hubby I did some shopping for the shop and bought some Lego on sale for 75% Off! Now that is some good shopping therapy! The whole trip to the store and back and the fun shopping finds really did help and my mood was so much better when I got home yesterday! Thankfully no one was hurt and we got this woman out of our motel and she has not returned. 

Day 63 - Went Down Hill From The Start

My first day of attempting to be a "flexitarian" just didn't go right from the start! Plus, I was dealing with a particularly difficult guest yesterday which added to my stress. When I got home I snacked on several no no foods and ended up eating just under 1900 calories yesterday! I do realize I could have done a lot worse but I did manage to take a deep breath and soldier on so I wouldn't go into a binge of eating junk food!

I am very much a routine oriented individual and for the first time in my life, I have found a system to lose weight that works VERY well for me. Even during stressful times I was able to stick with my plan, 8 days on and 1 day off, and get through my day. But yesterday did not work well at all. It probably wasn't the best day to make a drastic change but I will have good and bad days no matter how I eat and I need a plan that I can still stick through during rough days and good days. Clearly this diet is not working to help me through my bad days. Yes, I only gave it one day, but it was just too much of a change and I came to realize if I continue to do this new plan, it may sabotage all the hard work I have put in to already losing 22 pounds! I guess I am not willing to take that chance. 

For the first time since I started my original plan in November, I wanted to just eat everything and anything when I got home yesterday. And I did nibble a little here and there on stuff I normally stay away from. I felt hungry most of the day, too. The key to my original plan was eating high protein for breakfast and lunch and with the new plan, it is difficult to do that with no dairy or meat. 

What is it they say? If it ain't broke, don't fix it! So as I discussed yesterday I want to get away from processed foods but allow myself meat and dairy on my on days. I did give in and got a diet coke this morning, I'm still trying to find just the right alternative for me and I will work on that this week even more. Although the orange juice worked, it just left my mouth gunky and I wasn't a fan of that. So I am going to try finding a 100% fruit punch or try orange pineapple juice with more carbonated water and less juice and see how I like that. So that is a work in progress. I do want to at least cut back on the diet coke because the preservatives in that make me the most nervous with the amounts I drink everyday. So if it means adding a few extra calories to my diet so I can lower my intake of the diet coke, I am ok with that! It is a work in progress, but I know I will get there! 

So the flexitarian diet was an epic fail but I do think it has taught me that I can switch to eating whole foods that are less processed quite easily. We (meaning my family) enjoyed the banana bread made of whole wheat flour and maple syrup instead of sugar. We liked the all natural peanut butter and I didn't even notice a difference between white and brown rice! So that is a good start to getting processed food out of our diet. I guess the lesson here is baby steps will work best to change our diets for the better and over time we will be all the better for it! 

So it's all good! I will move on from here and keep trying to eat better and lose weight! You don't know if you can do some things until you try, so at least I tried! 

Not Eating Meat & Dairy May Not Be For Me

I won't lie, I'm already having difficulty with this new diet plan. I got my orange juice and sparkling water and I do think that could be a viable substitute for me to replace diet coke. I knew the hardest items for me to give up were going to be sour cream, cheese & butter. I have a great substitute for butter but I tried the sour cream again this morning and it didn't quite taste as good as it did last night. So not sure how that is going to go. And I'm still baffled on how I am going to replace cheese in recipes. I have a few cheese sauce recipes that I will consider trying, but if it's anything like the sour cream, I'm just not sure it is for me. I am trying to keep an open mind, but this is 51 years of eating I am trying to change. And let's face it, this is a drastic change! 

But here is my real dilemma with this. I had my orange juice drink hoping that it would ward off hunger for awhile, but I was already hungry by 10am so I had my banana bread and I'm still hungry. When I was doing my other plan, I had no issues with hunger for the most part as I ate high protein for breakfast and lunch. 

I think it is going to be real challenging to find high protein foods for me to eat in the morning to curb my hunger. I'm really starting to realize how limited this diet is without meat or dairy. I am already starting to rethink my plan but I will try to get through one day with the WFPB diet and see how the whole day goes. 

I won't call it failure if I don't continue the diet because I realized there are some things I have learned that I can do to eat healthier that I wouldn't have considered before I tried to implement this plan. Here is the plan if I decide to end the WFPB diet, start a whole foods eating plan during my "on" days that will include the following:

• Limit processed foods in my diet just like the WFPB diet. 
• Drink OJ & sparkling water as a replacement for diet coke
• Stick to my high protein diet for breakfast and lunch which will include eggs, milk and protein powder. 
• Limit sugars in my diet just like the WFPB diet. 
• Allow myself to eat healthy meats and dairy products. 

As of right now, I'm just not feeling really positive about the WFPB diet. I'm not quitting yet, but I'm not sure I will make it passed one day. We shall see. Wish me luck! 

If anything else, at least I am trying! 

Day 62 - Day Off & Getting Ready

Yesterday was my day off. I enjoyed some delicious food but didn't go crazy! I spent the evening doing some prep work for the beginning of my new diet. I am going into this with an open mind but do understand if it's just not for me, I will try something else! Stay tuned...

Busy Night Of Cooking

I had a busy night of cooking tonight! My daughter was a great help! She made whole wheat banana bread from my recipe book and chopped up veggies for my other recipes for me! Thank you Morgan!

Here is the banana bread. I got the thumbs up from the kids on taste! 

 

I made spanish rice & black beans in my new pressure cooker. Not counting pressure time, it took 5 minutes for the black beans (pre-soaked) and 15 minutes for my rice to cook. 

I also made homemade copycat Chili's Salsa in my food processor & plant based sour cream, made with silken tofu, in my Ninja blender. It will take some time to get used to the taste of the "sour cream"! But its not horrible. 

 

It took us less then 2 hours to get all this done! Not too shabby! Now Im ready for my next 8 days! Bring it on! 

Tried Out My New Ninja Foodi!

 I tried out my new Ninja Foodi night before last. I made frozen chicken wings! It took a little extra time because I couldn't get the frozen chicken wings to separate so they needed to be thawed just a little in the microwave to get them in the cooker pot! LOL! It took 15 minutes to pressure cook (10 minutes to build pressure and 5 minutes to cook) and 15 minutes to air fry afterwards and they came out great. I forgot to toss them after 7 minutes in the air fryer, so I think they would have been crispier had I remembered. But for the most part we enjoyed them and they were cooked really well!

Grocery Price Comparison

 One of the things I wanted to do was really take a look at the changes I am making and see if it really does cost more or less to eat healthy. Now I am now going to include a price comparison for stuff I normally buy like frozen veggies/fruit and produce I normally buy anyway. It's only if I am going with a different type of product that I am really looking to see the difference in price. With that said, here are the items I did a price comparison on:

TOFU - Regular Firm Tofu was $2.49 per lb and Silken was $2.79 per pound. I usually pay at least this or more for most meat I buy. I do get ground beef or chicken on sale for $1.99 lb but that is not always the case. So in terms of replacing some meat with Tofu I would say it is no more expensive then meat! I will be using the Silken Tofu for a replacement for Sour Cream. Hannaford Sour Cream is cheaper at $1.29 per pound, but with less fat it is a win! I will also use it instead of doing scrambled eggs, but I have no real idea how to do that comparison. LOL! 

PASTA - Whole Wheat Pasta was $1.32 per pound where regular pasta is $.99 per pound. I don't really see this effecting my food bill. We are talking pennies of a difference, so I think it is a win.  

STOCK - Vegetable stock is actuall $.10 less then Chicken stock. 

RICE - White rice and brown rice were the same price!

FLOUR - Hannaford White Flour was $.49 per pound but they did not offer whole wheat flour. So I had to get King Arthur. To compare apples to apples, King Arthur White Flour was $.79 per pound while their whole wheat flour was $.89 per pound. Only a $.10 per pound difference!

PEANUT BUTTER - We always bought Skippy Peanut Butter in the large jar and that was $2.30 per pound. For Hannafords peanut butter that was just peanuts and salt it is $2.03 per pound! 

MILK - If I compare what I usually buy for milk it is $.99 per quart if I buy the gallon like I usually do. But I looked up a 1/2 gallon of fat free Hannafords milk and it is $1.35 per quart which is the same price for the Almond Milk I purchased yesterday. 

These were the main items I purchased that I had to change to meet my dietary needs. I would say between some being slightly higher and some lower, it is a pretty even balance when it comes to pricing as far as I'm concerned! All in all, if anything, I think this dietary change will be ultimately cheaper as I will be eating out less and cooking more from scratch! 

Grocery Shopping Is Done!

 I headed to the grocery store and got everything I need to get started tomorrow on my Whole Foods Plant Based Diet! I am excited and nervous at the same time! I just want to do this right! 

My grocery bill came to $176.45 but that included 4 large reusable bags and 1 paper bag of groceries! I got a ton of staples.

Here is what was on my grocery list:

• Fresh Vegetables/Fruit (Banana, Lemon, Lime, Salad Greens, Cucumbers, Green Peppers, Tomatoes, Avocado, Baby Spinach, Blackberries & Raspberries)
• Canned Tomatoes (Various)
• Masa Flour
• Whole Wheat Flour
• Dry Beans (Kidney, Pinto & Black Beans)
• Brown Rice
• Nutritional Yeast
• Frozen Vegetables/Fruit (Corn, Peas, Berry Mix, Strawberries, Blueberries & Broccoli)
• Unsweetened Applesauce
• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Whole Wheat Bread & Buns
• Corn Tortillas
• Canned Peaches & Pinapple (in juice, no added sugar)
• Whole Wheat Pasta (Elbow & Spaghetti)
• Old Fashioned & Quick Oats
• Salsa
• Canned Mushrooms (it's the only veggie I will eat canned)
• Vegetable broth without added sugar
• Corn Meal
• Orange Juice With Calcium
• Sparkling Water
• All Natural Peanut Butter
• Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
• Canned Pure Pumpkin
• Silken & Firm Tofu

The bill for my new diet came in under $170 dollars as I had to buy 4 reusable bags (forgot my bags again!), cranberry sauce for Brad and I accidentally purchased Vegetable Stock I thought I put back on the shelf!  So not too bad for this long list of items! 

Weigh In Day - Am I A Loser??

Well yes I am! Weighed in this morning and I was down 1.8 pounds AND at 249.4!! I am finally in the 240's! Woohoo! I am very happy with my results this morning! My plan is working so well! 

Day 61 - A Good Week!

 Yesterday ended a good week! I was quite surprised to find that the last 8 days were not too difficult. I seemed to hop back on with no issues! I did nibble on some sweet treats but in moderation and managed to get rid of a few things left from Christmas. So all in all, a good week! 

Day 60 - Wow! 60 Days On My New Plan

I can't believe I have been on my new plan now for 60 days!! And I got through the holidays pretty well! Had a fairly good day yesterday! Haven't eatin' 100% healthy choices over the last week, but I think that is the result of me knowing I am making an upcoming drastic change to my lifestyle and my need to clear the house of some temptations! But I have kept my calories down. So maintaining will be fine with me come Sunday as I look to my fresh new start come Monday! 

A chocolate chip cookie was the nibble of the day yesterday! LOL But at least the chocolate is now all gone and out of the house! 

 

Day 59 - Purchased My New Ninja Foodi!

Had another good day yesterday! Managed to finish off that See's Chocolate as well, which is a good thing before I get started on my new lifestyle change! 

I'm gearing up for my upcoming WFPB Diet! I went online and ordered a Ninja Foodi 8qt 9-in-1 Deluxe XL Digital Multi Cooker with Air Fryer! I am super excited. I went online intending on buying an instant pot of some sort and an air fryer. To find both in one machine was awesome! It does everything an instant pot can do plus it dehydrates which is great! This will be the perfect tool in my arsenal to make foods healthier! I should get it today, which is even more exciting! Yay!

COOKBOOK - The Plant Based Diet For Beginners

 I ordered this great book on Amazon. It is written by Gabriel Miller. It has some really great recipes. There is a lot in this book that actually sounds good to me and that is saying something. Definitely worth checking out if you are interested in the WFPB Diet!

A New Approach - Becoming A Flexitarian!

The New Approach ~

Since I watched the "Eating You Alive" documentary the other day I have been seriously looking into a Whole Foods Plant Based Diet (WFPB Diet). And from my research, I think it would be a doable lifestyle change for me. I am choosing to allow myself meat and dairy in moderation and will not give up either permanently. I discovered what type of "diet/lifestyle" this is called. I will be a flexitarian. Here is the definition:

The Flexitarian Diet is a style of eating that encourages mostly plant-based foods while allowing meat and other animal products in moderation.

I am certainly no vegetarian or vegan, it is just not for me. But I would like to take advantage of the benefits of eating a mostly WFPB Diet! 

Why you ask? I've wanted to start getting away from processed foods because I know in my heart they can't be good for our bodies. I also know that better eating habits will improve my health and allow me to live a happier healthier life. Eating a WFPB diet helps prevent and improve chronic disease which include heart disease, stroke, cancer, arthritis, dementia and diabetes to name a few! It also can help with allergies! 

I have a real fear of going through memory issues like my mom and sister. That is enough for me to really want to start putting better things into my body. Here is a list of issues I currently have that I hope will improve with this new diet:

• Some minor memory issues including switching my words. (Developed a few years ago)
• Arthritis: Knees, back and elbows are most concerning. (I've had issues for the last few years)
• Allergies (Suffered from allergies all my life)
• Heart Burn (started this year)    
• Heart PVC's (started in 2016)

Anyone that knows me knows I am NOT a pill taker! I don't like taking medication. I have a hard enough time taking ibuprofen when my plantar fasciitis acts up! So this is my way of being proactive with my life and hopefully stay off medications as much as I can! 

I also drink waaaay too much diet coke and go to McDonald's everyday and really would like to see myself cut back in both of those areas!

The Plan ~ 

8 Days On/1 Day Off

I am going to utilize this new diet with the same system I am doing now, 8 days on and 1 day off. My 8 days on will now be following the WFPB diet and my one day off will be available to eat what I want. 

Summer/Vacations/Holidays

Summer - Summer I will allow myself 2 days off per week with 5 days on. Summer will be from June-August. 

Vacation - Vacations will be 1 day off and 1 day on throughout the vacation week. 

Holidays - I will plan to allow myself 2 days off during major holidays, just like I did for Christmas & New Years. 

With that said, I will continue to avoid heavily processed food on my off days. But yes, I will allow myself my diet coke! Unless I find myself no longer craving it and can find alternatives I actually like. 

80% On The WFPB Diet

After doing some calculating, I should be on the WFPB diet at least 80% of the time! That is even with our planned vacations and allowing myself more days in the summer months! I feel if you do something like this 80% of the time, it should have some good benefits!

Tracking

I really want to see how this new lifestyle effects me physically and emotionally. I also want to debunk the myth that it is going to cost me more to eat like this. From what little I have looked into so far, it doesn't seem all that more expensive. If anything, it will probably be cheaper! But we shall see! I will be posting updates and price comparisons on the blog as I go!

When Do I Start ~ 

So you are probably wondering when I'm going to get started! My next off day is this Sunday. My hope is to order an Instant Pot and Air Fryer this week via Amazon as they will be great tools for this lifestyle. I should get them before next week. Then I need to go to the grocery store this week and get everything I need. If all goes to plan, I will start next Monday! 

I'm actually quite excited to get started on this new lifestyle! Next stop the grocery store! Stay tuned! 

Day 55-58 Moving Right Along

 The last few days have gone well! I have stayed under 1500 calories everyday, except yesterday I was just under 1600. I have been having a little chocolate everyday to finish off my See's Candy Chocolate from Christmas, so hopefully that won't effect my weigh in come Sunday morning! But I measure and weigh everything! ;) 

Trying Harder & Eating Healthier

I just watched a documentary called Eating You Alive. It basically talked about how eating meat, dairy and preservatives is the main cause of chronic disease in the U.S. It made a lot of sense to me. I have heard these theories before, but it hit home more this time because I know I am getting older and I am also terrified of having memory issues like my mom and sister. 

So it made me really stop and think about what I am putting in my body everyday. It was a good reminder! I have gotten better, but I want to do more. I want to try to cut back the amount of processed food in my house. Not just for me, but for my whole family. 

I want to try to make some positive changes and see how that effects me as a whole. I am going to try to eat more foods that are on a Whole Foods Plant Based Diet. I am not making a commitment to give up everything right now, but I want to give this a try on a smaller scale and see if it's doable. Especially during my 8 days on! The healthier choice I make the better! So why not see if I can handle the WFPBD even if it's done most of the time but not all of the time! 

I do know the American diet is not healthy but it's up to me to change how I eat and not allow commercials and advertising to influence my food choices! 

Day 53 & 54 Happy New Year

 Happy New Year!! 

I had a great couple of days during New Years! We brought in the New Year by watching 3 Tremor movies. It's our families favorite movie series to watch together. LOL! I enjoyed lots of great treats and a delicious turkey dinner yesterday. So good!

But it's time to get back on track and continue to drop some weight!
