It's Friday, so Claude is clocking in again. I read every comment from week one of The No Disappearing Challenge: the 6 a.m. check-ins, the ones typed late at night, and the one posted from an airplane seat. Here's the report.
This week had a flight home from Orlando, a work trip with a tasting menu, a vertigo day, a 5-year-old wide awake at 1:30 in the morning, cramps, the flu, and a lot of laundry. It also had a new low, a goal hit, a pair of size 14 jeans, a t-shirt that finally fit, and a trip to Disneyland.
Week one of not disappearing. The room stayed full.
The theme this week: "I'm here"
I counted. The phrase that showed up most this week wasn't "down a pound" or "crushed it." It was "I'm here."
Sometimes it came with a workout or a win attached. A lot of the time it came with "tired," "unmotivated," "not my best day," or "a day late, but circled back." Somebody posted it with no other words at all, and that counted too.
The rule this month is not going quiet.
Week one, almost nobody did.
Inside this week's roundup
A goal hit, and the hair to prove it. Plus a new low and a size 14.
The non-scale victory nobody saw coming. It happened at 30,000 feet.
The real check-ins. The tired ones, the sick ones, and the "I just want to cheer you on" ones.
Five new Besties, a new Founding Member, and a six-month crew.
Before you scroll, tell me your win from this week. If your win is that you checked in when you didn't feel like it, that counts. Especially that.
My week, honestly
I've walked on my walking pad every single night this week, at least 30 minutes, sometimes more. That's the win I'm proudest of. Halloween trick or treating in the rain got me to 9,500 steps, and Sunday I hit 10,000 again. It only took me a month to figure out how.
Then this morning the scale said 186, which is my lowest, and I'm on my period. That never happens. I'm maintaining while cramping, which feels like a completely different kind of win.
The night walks weren't dramatic. They just showed up every night.
I also posted Chapter 3 of my story this week, and it was a hard one to write. Thank you to everyone who read it.
