Ok Veteran Sleevers, for those of you that are still rocking that sleeve with no backsliding, kudos to you, you are Rock ⭐️Stars! BUT, for those like myself that have left the "rock ????band" to pursue another career and want to get back onstage, I'm challenging you to join me in a 10 Day Rock Tour! (Please forgive my witty puns here, gotta keep my sense of humor in tack) Here's my plan to get those unwelcome 20 ????groupies (pounds) off my stage (body).

1. Take my "act" on the road. ????????Walk/run at least 3 miles EVERY day. No excuses. If it's raining ☔️I will walk on the treadmill or go to a mall and walk. The 3 miles is in addition to any normal walking I already do. This will get me ready for a 5k which is about 3.1 miles.

2. Drink at least 8 glasses of Water every day. No, Rock Star ????energy drinks don't count.

3. Try a new ????song (diet plan) I'm going to try the 5:2 song. (If you don't know what that is you can search it on this forum or google it) Basically try switching things up or go back to the basics from when you were first on tour (sleeved).

4. Report daily to this post with my success. ????

5. Measure myself before???? and after????

6. Log ????food, water and exercise.

Then party like a Rock Star ????????????????when I complete the challenge and win a Grammy!

Who will join me?

Sounds like you are staying focused @@katesuccess ! Very smart to make those meals ahead of time . (That reminds me that I need to bake up a bunch of boneless/skinless chicken breasts -- my bed time treat is to have about 1.5 oz with a few drops of sweet Thai Chili sauce (doesn't seem to throw my out of ketosis, but it makes me feel like I'm eating fun leftover restaurant food ).

One thing that I forgot to mention: Now that I'm only losing 3-4 pounds per month, I am weighing at the health stations (with blood pressure, etc.) in Walmart and Savon rather than at home. This has me recording way higher weights (on my ticker) than when I was using my home scale with no clothes on in the morning, but I get a bigger mood-boost when I sit down fully-clothed in the middle of the day at Sav-on a couple of times a month (when I find that I've lost a pound, that is ). I have made accounts on a couple of those machines and then I have an email/web record of my descending weights... I weigh exactly 10 lbs less than when I started visiting those stations a couple of months ago-- I'm able to get in touch with my gratitude when I look at their little graph of my progress (more than just keeping it on MFP on my phone, for some reason?).

Good thoughts for an on-track weekend, Kate and all.
