The Good:
I'm Done! Eff Yaas!
The Bad:
I going to reward myself with some Extra Sloppy Gas Station Nachos and Ice Cold Can of Arizona Tea's Mucho Mango - that's no joke - my favorite Nachos come from a Gas Station. May The Lord have mercy on my Bowels.
Also... said Gas Station with Heavenly Nachos is CLOSED on New Year's Day thus prolonging my sweet date of jubilation... I live but dang-a-rang.
The Ugly:
I know, I came so far - I worked hard and sacrificed - put myself through the ringer... What if the Nachos and Mucho Mango are a gateway to me Relapsing on my diet, exercise, and health... Yeah, I'm a tad worried.

Wellness Wednesday:
Happy...? New Year?
I say, Yeah, Yeah It Is.
Avoid Eating Out... Check
Avoid Sweets/Junk Food... Check
Lose 52 Pounds... Check
Lose 100 Pounds... Check
Try Out a Vegetarian Diet/Lifestyle (for a month) without Making it a Personality... Check
Go the Whole Year Rockin' a Rat Tail... Check
Weigh the Lowest You've Ever Weigh in Almost 2 Decades... Check
Phew.
These last couple days/weeks/month I have been in a horrible mood, but the last two days of December I had sudden change in behavior and attitude.
I got hit with a surge chutzpah. Workouts became slightly easier. Even though I was running on fumes (aka massive lack of sleep) I don't feel exhausted like I have for the past few months.
And I gotta give up for the New Year and the Death of this Challenge. Seeing the days turn into hours with the Challenge made Heart Grow 3 Sizes... in a Good Way.
I can finally put this Weight Loss/Wellness Challenge down in books under the Win Column.

5 Days Left in this Year's Challenge.
Doubled my goal of losing 52 pounds. Broke 104 pounds today.
The Bad:
5 Gruelling Days Left in this Year's Challenge. 5 Days of Minding My Portions and Staying on Top of My Workouts. Gotta Finish Strong... Hopefully this doesn't have me rolling into the New Year as Grumpy Goose.
The Ugly:
Could use a little siesta. So terribly tired that I slept through most of family holiday funtions... and I am still exhausted.

Wellness Wednesday:
Doubts Creepin' In
Couple of weeks ago I said I wanted to "finish strong" - I wanted to weigh the lowest I've ever weighed on my last weigh-in, I have a few unwritten goals that I want to surpass, and I want to skate into the New Year flawless on my diet.
Well,
I have become extremely snacky recently. I am still eating "clean" but the portions are getting out of control.
The recent Snack Attack obviously hasn't helped my weightloss progress
And...
I got a Family Holiday Dinner coming around corner just before my penultimate weigh-in and I don't know if I can resist all the side dishes... especially since I will be deprived of my most coveted Holiday Elixirs - I'm talking about the Three Wise-Men of Winter Goodness:
Cranberry Punch,
Eggnog,
and Hot Chocolate
Hot Damn, I will miss thee three.
Lastly - I absolutely cannot stand working out/exercising at the moment. Every work has been completed begrudgingly.

Wellness Wednesday:
Snacky Mood
Truly...
The highlight of my week was eating racks of BBQ Ribs... followed by meatballs... and Chicken Enchiladas... I probably should not of... but I did.
And don't forget about the deli meats and cheeses - lordy - you'd think I had guests to entertain with my charcuterie game.
And of course the week after I declare that I want to finish my Year of Wellness strong - I get in a snacky mood.
I will need to buckle down a bit more with my meals and portions.
Oh, well... c'est la vie feast, amirite?!

Closing Thoughts:
The Good:
Had some enjoyment reading - read a slew of Digital Comics and been burning through a hardcover book. Feels were that I made that distinction - "hardcover" book - but hey, I had to go all the way to local library for it.
The Bad:
With the end in sight - I am getting incredibly snacky... thus hurting my resolution to "finish the year strong".
The Ugly:
This Quest for Sleep feels Never Ending and making a little... cranky.

Wellness Wednesday:
Looking to Finish Strong
I, for the most part, completed my main objectives and goals for the year - but by some strange test of fate I could slip up.
So...
For the next 4ish weeks (26 Days - 4 more posts) my plan is to be easy going, but mindful of diet and exercise routine. With widely surpassing my objectives I could tank/skip my workouts or diet and still come out on top of my goals, but I would like to end on the highest note possible - I would like my last weight to be the lowest I've ever weighed AND I would like to be able to say 100% confidence that I went a whole year without a chip, slice of pizza, or an ice cream cone - let alone a single order of take out.
As well - I would be excited to see my final stats on my exercises. To my current knowledge I think I have only missed 3 or 4 workouts - that's 3 or 4 days out of the last 340 days. I'd like to keep that stat below 5 for the remainder of the year if I could... again... for gloating purposes (don't worry... I have no friends so this sentiment probably won't leave the sanctuary of this post - gloating averted).

Closing Thoughts:
The Good:
I decided to simply my workout - and I am still seeing the same/positive results with the simpler workout. That extra stuff I did in November was unnecessary.
The Bad:
It's that time of year where the air is dry and my sinuses and unobstructed breathing is collateral damage.
The Ugly:
My sleep schedule has been trash since my Thanksgiving Break/Vacation. Feel like a walking zombie. There times where I have passed out in the middle of the day.

I will admit that it felt uneasy taking a week long Thanksgiving vacation from work, but once I got in the thick of lounging around I didn't give work a second thought.
What did I do?
Not much - and it was spectacular!
I only left my hideaway twice - once for snacks and once for entertainment - the rest of the week was jam packed with lounging and gaming (VR and Boardgames).
I ended up leaving my vacation dreading going back to work and slightly addicted to VR gaming.
Oh! And one other note - one side effect from losing weight that I discovered - apparently I lost all the good cushioning in my butt and now I can't handle sitting in a car longer than 2 hours. My rear end was killing me - absolute worst part of the vacation - and to be honest there could have been worse things.

Closing Thoughts:
The Good:
I had a nice relaxing week away from work.
Caught up on some reading and actually finished two books on top of a stack of comics.
The Bad:
Neglected some chores during my time off and now I have some cleaning/tidying up to do.
The Ugly:
Although my week was relaxing - my sleep schedule was definitely thrown for a tailspin. Been lowkey exhausted all week and have been haphazardly falling asleep randomly in the middle of the day.

Wellness Wednesday:
Thanksgiving Day?
More like Thanksgiving Week!
You can look at the Meal Tracker. I've been eating Thanksgiving Themed Food all week and loving every minute of it - and - there's more to come.
It's been a very chill week so I am short on words.
Looking to relax and unwind going into Thanksgiving break.

Wellness Wednesday:
Losing My Cool
I've never been this irritated with working out.
I can't wait for this to be over... but... the finish line is soo close - I feel obligated to stick it out.
For the last week or so it has been taking me hours to get motivated to workout. Which ends up making me stay up later than I want, which affects my sleep, which affects my work/attitude.
I could go for a break, but then I know my weight/progress will probably go to crud and then I will be more disappointed and feel guilted into working out more.
My Burritos were the only saving grace this week... but... also the reason for my extra workouts... because, ya know... dem Burritos were stacked.
...
"Dem Burritos Were Stacked"...? What does that even mean?

Closing Thoughts:
The Good:
Did you see my meals for Thursday through Sunday... I was in Burrito Heaven!
The Bad:
My Deep, Coveted, Passion for Burritos/Mexican cuisine heavily outweigh my desire to workout. I've been working out almost ever single day for 10.5 months and I can honestly say I am NOT addicted to working out and still despise it to my very core. This week it has abundantly apparent that I am ready for this challenge to be over.
Speaking of addiction... I may problem with my Popcorn intake.
The Ugly:
Holiday Season is officially stressing me out... Dredding the the final 6 weeks of the year.

Wellness Wednesday:
Introduction to Discombobulation
Really.
Nothing really to complain about other than I have been slightly off my game.
Looking at my stats I dont really seem effected... if you look at my workouts I actually look more energized than ever, but in truth... I barely hitting my marks.
Hoping to recenter myself next week - aka - calm down so I don't have to worker harder than I need to and spread myself thin.

Felt compelled to do a workout over my lunch break because I went portion and snack happy earlier in the week.
The Ugly:
My schedule has been altered slightly and I have been getting distracted way to much which has effecting "my work" / daily routines.

Wellness Wednesday:
Knocking Out A Challenge
There's nothing better...
Picking a goal - setting up a challenge - and completing it.
I've been consistently setting goals for myself since 2013...
I think I am slightly addicted to waking up in the morning and having an objective for myself. I'm not talking about work or chores either - no - I'm talking about something that engages, provides fulfillment, and causes me to stretch myself.
This Groundhog Day Diet Challenge was an interesting one. If I did it again, I would do it differently as I feel I shortchanged my self when it came to portions/calories, but I did enjoy aspect of having to stick to a rigid meal plan - even if that meant traveling with my own toaster.
Getting to the meat of the matter - Let's Discuss the Pros and Cons.
PROs:
I didn't have to think twice about a meal. Fast, easy, efficient.
Saved money on my grocery bill.
Really opened my eyes to simplicity of the food I eat - aka - I can survive without condiments, snacks, seconds....
Due to the strict calorie intake (an uncalculated accident) - I hit a massive bout of weightloss especially after a long, stretched out plateau
CONs:
Couple weeks ago I mentioned "side effects" - well, what I was experiencing was blurry/loss of vision every time I stood up. Hit me hard during week 2, but went away some time during week 3.
Early on, my morning hunger was ravenous. To the point I know I was not thinking clearly until I had my Turkey and Swiss.
Having to eat on schedule was a pain - especially when traveling.
I can't find a direct correlation (as other factors besides the diet may be at play), but this month by far was my moodier month of the year so far.
What am I going to do with any of that information - I don't know - but at least I can check it off the list.
Now,
With 8ish weeks left in the year I need to start plotting on my next big challenge for 2024.
In Other News...
I Officially Loss 100 Pounds!

Closing Thoughts:
The Good:
The Groundhog Day Diet is over. My mouth is already watering for all the tasty possibilities.
Loss 100 Pounds - All without Ozempic!
Ending the "Wellness Week" with "classy feast" aka Steak and Veggies. I stated before that I would never use food a reward, but I broke 100 pounds AND just wrapped on eating Sammies and Soup for 31 days... I think I can break my Food as Reward Rule just this once - especially since it will be a home cooked meal.
The Bad:
I've been tad moody lately. Hoping I can chill out this coming November.
The Ugly:
My Ankle/Achilles is very sore/tender. Continuing with my scheduled workouts, but babying it as much as possible. The pain seems to get worse with each passing day.

Wellness Wednesday:
Sour Mood
I'm sure the diet does play some sort of factor, but I do recognize other internal/external (sleep, work, friendships, socializing) factors that are effecting my mood.
Sour is probably the best way to describe my disposition.
I am not depressed - not fully, at least not like I have experienced in the past. I am not royally pissed off or angry. I'm just overall irritated and would prefer to be left alone.
One saving grace, the medicine that I find calms me without fail, playing one of my old favorite videogames. Provides a nice escape and allows me not think about the things bringing me down. Even if only get to play 30 minutes - that's enough to give me a little pick me up.
I find it interesting how soothing videogames can be. If you looked at my stats/play time/achievements I would not look like an avid gamer... and typically when I get down/bored I turn to movies or comics first, but lately they haven't been hitting the spot. I dont real feel compelled to seek movies/comics out, but - there's something about a good videogame hitting differently.
Reminds me when I was in High School having a crumby time and heading to my basement to play Xbox/Nintendo.
Very therapeutic.

Wellness Wednesday:
13 Days Meals To Go!
I can see the finish line and I feel like I am going to coast to through the rest of the month.
My hunger pains have subsided. I am not feeling any of the "side effects" from last week. I had the ultimate test of maintaining my diet while traveling out of state, but now there are no more foreseeable obstacles in my way.
I still enjoy my sammy and soup - they still pack a a nice flavor punch, but I am also plotting my first meal for November 1st.

Wellness Wednesday:
Settling In?
So at the beginning of the week I was drastically questioning my life choice entertaining this "Groundhog Day Diet" - I was getting hangry, especially on the weekend. All I could think about was my next bite.
The same thing each day isn't even the problem - it's the in between meal cravings.
For clarification, I go to bed feeling satisfied, but by the time lunch rolls around the following day my stomach starts growling something fierce. About 2 hours later my stomach is requesting its snack, and with my last minutes of the day/work I am daydreaming about my soup... so, I do hit a satisfactory limit with my hunger at each meal - I just don't go beyond satisfactory.
Another interesting note - during my work day I am so preoccupied with activity that my thoughts of food and stomach's growling is almost nonexistent - but come break/lunch, my mouth is watering.
In conclusion, my hunger is so powerful that I don't care that I just ate the same Turkey & Swiss Sandwich 11 days in a row - no - instead I welcome it and just wish I planned my meals/portions better before the challenge.

Closing Thoughts:
The Good:
Due to my budgeting/"meal planning" my bank account is loving me.
The Bad:
Lost over 5 pounds this week. Sounds nice at first, but that's far too much to fast. Obviously, the new diet is playing a large roll. Hoping next week I don't see another large plummet.
The Ugly:
Officially have to purchase another whole new wardrobe - a second new wardrobe. My "new" skinny pants that I bought 40ish pounds ago are already baggy themselves - and - all my shirts look like blankets on me. Was not budgeting for new clothes. May be looking like a clown with my pants on ground for a while.

Wellness Wednesday:
The Groundhog Day Diet
Sunday I officially started my Groundhog Day Diet (the same daily meal on repeat). Obviously the name of the diet stems from the 1993 Bill Murray film, but the month long challenge was more inspired by Morgan Spurlock's 2004 documentary, Super Size Me (a challenge to eat McDonald's for 30 days straight).
I settled on the following specific daily foods for the month:
Lunch:
Turkey & Swiss Sandwich, a Side of Baby Carrots, a Cup Peaches
Snack:
A Serving of Trail Mix
Supper:
Bowl of Soup and a Glass of Milk.
All ^that^ comes out to approximately 1,290 Calories.
Now, I didn't necessarily do this to keep better tabs on my calories - no - I merely did it to see if I could do it - or - better yet see how long before my tongue goes mad.
As well, I am hoping this "diet" will assist my pocketbook as I have planned out my meals, purchased a large majority of all my fixings, thus hopefully minimizing my grocery bill for the month of October. The only items I forsee having to purchase is fresh Turkey, Bread, Milk, and Carrots.
So far, 4 days in, things aren't too shabby. I wish I would have thrown in some popcorn to booster my snack intake... but... I'll know better for next time.

Wellness Wednesday:
Good Week
This was the first week where my body has felt fully functional - aka - 100%.
No deep feelings of exhaustion. No knee pain. No stuffy nose.... just feeling good.
Workouts have been going smoothly - easy and efficient but still working up a good sweet.
As well, I filled my belly with some of my favorite pasta dishes, burritos, chili, biscuits/breadsticks, and snacks (corn nuts). In short, I at well.
Lastly, I even pampered myself with Luxury Pedicure. Made my toesies feel like a million bucks.
Very good week indeed.

Wellness Wednesday:
Road Trippin'
Well, I have completed my first family road trip which required mildly extensive travel to a unfamiliar location... and... it went very well - little to no blow ups.
Completing that road trip was a huge weight off my chest.
Not that I don't like family time where there is no escape - but - more of I am not a fan of travelling via car into the unknown.
Planes, yeah sure - no biggie...
Long Distance Car Travel spikes this dormant anxiety I have.
But, again, it went smoothly. As well, it mentally prepped me for the next big road trip in November.
Plus, I will probably have plan for more vacations or staycations as I have maxed out my PTO at work.
Also during my road trek - I was a little loose with my snacking and definitely over indulged more than normal - not so much junk food, but increased portions.
I was so worried about my snacking that I did double work out on Monday to compensate.
Beyond that everything was basic this week.
