Unplugged, drank 65 ounces, ate about 45 minutes ago.  Didn’t cook anything today, but ate at home.  Feeling very shaky today, hopefully tomorrow will be better, and I’ll cook a meal.

Had 50 ounces today. Last ate 1 hr 15 min ago, unplugged for awhile today, not sure if it was an hour.  Ate at home today, but didn’t prepare anything.  Had protein drinks, salad, cheese, apple slices, popcorn. Not feeling great today, so I sat around and snacked a bit.  Will try to make my veggie chili tomorrow (I keep putting it off).

Almost forgot to report today. Had 60 ounces, unplugged several hours, ate over an hour ago. Will post plan tomorrow

Unplugged and sat on my porch around 8:30. While sitting there, a deer came strolling up my street, stopped in front of my house, looked at me, and casually strolled on!  Wouldn’t have seen that without this challenge!

Had 62 ounces today. Ate awhile ago, drank and got hungry again, so I just had a little cheese. Heading to bed now.

Unplugged today, had 45 to 50 ounces, ate an hour ago.  Didn’t do so well on planning, but did buy ingredients today.  So, will make chili tomorrow for dinner.  And if I feel better, will make potato salad; if not, on Sunday

Unplugged a few hours today. Only drank about 40 ounces. Had banana dippers a little while ago. I had a salad today, but not much more “planned” foods. Tomorrow I’m going shopping for ingredients to make vegetarian chili, and low fat potato salad.

Good point. I rarely feel actual hunger anymore, I tend to give in to head hunger before I get to that point. I’m going to make that a goal: not to eat until I achieve actual hunger.

Good luck Konica. Would love to see you there!

ended up eating 2 Hershey bars, which is a huge improvement on my regular intake

A little of both. When I’m “watching” what I eat, I leave some calories for snacking before bed. I tend to sleep better when I eat a little something before bed.  Plus, sometimes I grab something without thinking about the one hour rule, and then I remember, and stay up later to meet the challenge.

It has definitely helped me.  I used to average 30 to 40 ounces a day, and 50 was a lot.  Now I consistently get over 50, and often in the 60s.  Today, I had 69 ounces.

I’m unplugging each day, and yesterday I decided to check out a park, and went for a drive, instead of sitting home playing on my iPad.

I ate over half an hour ago, but find I’…[Read more]

I lost track of my water today, but it was somewhere around 50 ounces. Need to get back on track with that. Unplugged for several hours today. Ate a few minutes ago. Had a brain fart and forgot.  Heading to bed now.

Thanks, Maria

Nikki, no I didn’t feel funny about the lunch, although I could have chosen wiser.  If I eat chocolate and drink something at the same time, I don’t dump or feel bad.  It was right after the dr visit, and I gave in to the stress.

59 ounces today, unplugged over an hour (enjoyed sitting on porch, listening to birds), ate 1 1/2 hours ago.

Went to my neurologist this morning for my shaking. He ordered blood work, and two brain tests.  Hopefully get to the bottom of this.  Have an appt with my therapist this evening.  It’s cooler out now that the thunderstorm has passed, so I think I’ll sit on the porch for awhile and unplug.

Breakfast: slice of wheat bread with slice of ch…[Read more]

Had about 60 ounces today, last food over an hour ago, and unplugged for 1 1/2 hours today.

Just got home from Cape May, so I spent almost all of today unplugged.  I drank 76 ounces so far, and am eating a snack now.  Not heading to bed yet, but not sure I can stay awake for an hour.

Went almost 2 hrs unplugged, last food an hour ago, only got 45 ounces so far. Going to bed early tonight: my ex booked a day bus trip to Cape May tomorrow, and I have to get up at 4:45 am. Not feeling great, but don’t want to cancel on him, so will do what I can. Will be nice to get away.  Will definitely be unplugged for most of tomorrow😊

Two things are my biggest stressors right now: my health and money.  I just feel crappy most of the time.  And my medical and vet bills are already over $6000 so far this year (with some unknown bills still outstanding).

To find comfort:  mostly watching tv and eating.  Most days I find it an effort to do anything.

To ward off boredom:  I’d real…[Read more]

I used to put mine on a spreadsheet, but have become lax on that.  Last year I had other medical problems, and had different blood work from different doctors, and never realized my B levels weren’t checked.  And I just realized my D wasn’t checked this time.  This fall, I’m going to take my recommended blood test list from my Bariatric center in…[Read more]
