Re: WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2025
we have a 4 bedroom ( they are very small rooms and we have way too much stuff in each room)house for just the two of us now. He has his room with tv/massage chair, 3d printers plus his toys he has collected and now he also has pretty much the same things in ds's old room(bed instead of a massage chair) plus a projector and screen to watch movies on. I do have my sewing/craft room which needs to be totally cleared out- that is down the list a bit.
I am slowly thinning out all the daycare kids things that I won't be using anymore- things that Ezie is too old for. I will keep just a few of the things for the younger kids, in case I get another on.
Cleaning the living room today- SOOO much craft supplies in here, because my craft room is such a mess, for both Ezie and I to work on. Need to extra toys gone so I have room for all the cat trees we have been picking up at Black Friday.
Dh has two friends that came down from Sacramento for the day-they went to Shabuya for lunch- I was invited but let them have their time plus gave me quiet time to work in the living room, then they went to see MIL- both guys have known her for many years. One of the guys dh went to high school with over 40 yrs ago. They are at the movies now.
I usually skip breakfast but decided now that I am back tracking to listen to what you have been talking about about upping protein. I had two eggs, a small amount of Colby cheese and lots of salsa on it.
Tasted great(not usually a fan of eggs unless they are deviled ;) )but an hour later, I was feeling so hungry. This happens when I eat breakfast. If I skip it, I am good until at least 2PM.
Snacks so far today are baby dill pickles, nori and fresh raspberries-
First real picking of the season yesterday.
Dinner is on the stove simmering-salsa chicken- chicken breast, Pace salsa, canned corn, canned black beans. Will top with a little Colby cheese and sour cream-maybe guacamole and served with tortilla chips
Re: 80 20 Rule ( Food & Training ) Challenge
Getting enough food is usually not an issue for me, lol! But I plan out my meals a week in advance, not only for grocery-shopping purposes but also so there's no decisions to be made each day. First I plan the dinners, and pre-log them into MFP so I know the calories/protein for each day. 99% of my lunches are leftovers from previous dinners, so I can mix and match my lunch for the day based upon the dinner numbers - high calorie dinners get smaller lunches, low-protein dinners get high-protein lunches, etc.

Re: What Was Your Work Out Today?
My equipment for this was a bit basic; 2 sidemount 12 litre cylinders filled with air. The wreck is on a slope, so we weren't in the depths for long; the average depth was 19 metres.
There is a compressor on the boat; but it's just air so if we wanted nitrox or mix we'd have needed to bring a rich bottle and whip it. My stage is out of test, so I couldn't bring that (it would have cut my deco time. But my buddy had 10 minutes more than me, and he didn't have a stage.)

Re: WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2025
😀 Walked 200 minutes—some with both dogs, some with Annie, some with Annie and a friend midday and 4PM, some by myself. Exercise bike 138 minutes while watching TV—Bones, Chelsea Detective, Scott and Bailey. Worked the yard 85 minutes all before 11AM—-planted more sunflower seedlings, watered, washed half of one of the remaining two panels of the fence. A bird got in the house and the dogs were delighted. I put the dogs in the fenced backyard and opened the front door and eventually the bird left. Now Annie and Bessie are stretched out under the table and I'm drinking a glass of water. Another fabulous day.
🍎 I eat three small meals and two snacks every day plus a few prunes, plum tomatoes, pecans, and a piece of apple in between. My breakfast is always an Isagenix chocolate shake, midmorning snack is two slices of Dave's Killer Bread with cream cheese and two sliced green olives, bedtime snack is two slices of Dave's Killer Bread with melted cheddar cheese. Supper is almost always a turkey burger (1/5 pound of ground turkey) and 9 ounces of frozen mixed vegetables. Lunch is different every day. Today it was half a bag of bagged Caesar salad mix with 3 ounces of baked chicken breast and a Gomacro peanut butter chocolate chip mini bar. The repetition makes shopping and meal preparation very easy. No decision fatigue for me.

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 191.0
🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️06/10- 190.4 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 192.3) A nice drop is always a plus. I’m so close to the 180’s (again) that I can almost taste it. I’ve been doing pretty well since the beginning of May in both my start weight and my trend weights. I’ve had a few missteps with my birthday, Mother’s Day and Memorial Day Weekend being in May. I’ve also had a bit of off and on travel days. However, I’ve managed to reign it back in each time and the progress is slowly coming. I’m still working on being consistent with those good habits that I need to focus on including water and intentional exercise. Now that my major primary bedroom renovation is done and my projects will be small and shorter for awhile, I am hoping the privacy it affords in my home will allow me to focus better on diet, prep cooking and exercise right in my living room! Tonight I will cook a “regular” meal of “non-diet” foods. It’s time to make something nice and have dinner with my son. So tonight will be all about portion control not necessarily about content. Good Luck this round everyone. I love reading your posts!

Re: Mounjaro ! Controversial but it's working for me !!
Modern medicine doesn't find Mounjaro controversial. Nobel prizes all around.
I'm very happy to hear you are making progress. I wish you continued good success.
Today in big financial news a prominent analyst downgraded their rating on McDonald's citing much lower consumer demand as a result of GLP-1 availability. It's both remarkable and disturbing news…a win for future non-consumers.
Re: WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2025
@bwcetc - In another life, I sold mattresses. To my observation, most people are too embarrassed to properly try out a mattress. Take your pillow and dress in something soft like sweat pants and T-shirt. Set a timer for 20 minutes, then lay down on the mattress in your favorite sleeping position —- if you can't stay there comfortably for 20 minutes, you won't be able to sleep. When you find a promising candidate, sit on the edge and take your shoes on and off —- it is amazing how a lack of edge support will make a mattress feel unstable. Repeat. Let the salesperson know that you will be taking your time because you have missed a month of sleep —- you can even tell them ahead of time what your plan is and ask if they have any suggested tweaks.
My DH thinks that he can lay down on a mattress and immediately tell. I embarrass him but not myself. It would be even better if he would lay down with me, but he won't.
Y'all are so amazing and productive.

Previous Days:

➖ previously I stated I was increasing my weightlifting workouts and I did! Will continue on this same path..
➖ Also, lowered my mini weight loss goal again.. this time to 148. So I lowered all my nutrient goals in MFP. I imagine it’s only going to get more difficult to lose weight at this point.
Re: Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 299
Let's do this again folks.🤩 Wishing everyone a successful round of self care.
I can barely manage simple right now. Last round I dropped water weight. Looks impressive at over 5 lbs but no fat loss.
I'm getting off a temporary medication and eating better. Hopefully by next week I can take "true" weights and measures.
Goals:
*Show Up - 10 of 10 posts including days I'll have no internet access or a scale. I'll make my usual note and post it when I can.
*Weigh daily - I'll use any scale I can find while traveling and I will call myself out if I don't do my best to find one.
*Post body composition twice - Subject to the scale; however, I'll will bring my tape measure and note changes.
Rnd 299 SW 153.4 lbs
6/10 - 153.2 lbs
Nothing can best the all water 6.2 lb decline last round. Measurements are all over the place because of boating.
Eating is getting better. If I can stay away from easy quick foods I'll regain stability and save money too. Best of all, good food tastes better.

Had time to reflect the past week. 66 is NOT 56. Many thoughts to be distilled to a few basic priorities. Excited for a new season. Morning routines = no negotiation. Using June & July to regroup & love on me. Lose 5lbs & gain muscle & mobility. Key relationships have been neglected too…. Mind. Body. Soul. Whole food as fuel. Ready… set… go!
ONWARD!! #discipline! #mindbodysoul #HSF
It’s all about mindset!
