    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    10/10 128.0 I knew the scale was wonky yesterday. Breakfast with neighbors yesterday and going to lunch with the ladies today. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
    10/11 128.5 No eating plans today. DH is going to lunch with blind friend. I hope I can fast. 1/2 cup of coffee in and stomach feels awful.

    10/13 129.0 Still no TMI B-B-Q yesterday- beef brisket only
    10/14 127.5 According to my Garmin app, my weight average for the previous 7 days is 127.6 Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever noticed that data on the screen before. It makes me feel good! Today will be a busy day visiting the “studios” of 3 art quilters.

    10/08 …..186.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

    10/09 -184.8- (Trend weight 187.6) .

    10/10 -183.2- (Trend weight 187.1)

    10/11 -183.0- (Trend weight 186.7)

    10/12 -185.0- (Trend weight 186.6)

    10/13 -185.4- (Trend weight 186.4)I’ll attribute my uptick to no TMI now x 3. Took some stool softeners yesterday but they have not helped produce. Lower tummy still hurting in spurts. I don’t really feel that I ate anything differently prior to the onset. I know I was low on water so I will try to drink that down today again. It’s another cold fall day here. Gloomy with some rain expected again. I’ll have to fit in some indoor exercising again. Babysitting my DGS so I guess how much exercise I get in will be up to him.

    10/14 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) My DGS got me up very early. He was already full of energy and hungry for his pumpkin pancakes so I forgot to weigh before drinking my coffee. Yesterday I was over on calories and carbs due to foodie DD bringing fall treats so I’m sure there has been no progress. I did jump on the exercise bike late last night for 32 minutes even though it was a very busy evening and it was very late when I did it. I also canceled all my own planned snacks because of it. Today is scheduled to be a normal calorie & carb day on zig-zag so while there should not be a dramatic drop, especially after the goodies yesterday, I’m hoping it will keep any collateral damage at bay. I was polite yesterday but today I will not be eating any of her kind, thoughtful, generous junk.

    Mon.09.10:
    Well, glad to be starting fresh for another round. No number goals this week, just consistency goals. Habits every day, meet my calorie and macro targets, and a strength workout at least 7 of the 10 days. I’ll be getting in an hour walk this afternoon, my daughter has a therapy appointment and there’s a really nice walk nearby. It runs right next to a little creek where platypus swim, so I’ll be on the lookout to see if I can spot another one this week. There’s not too many of them around, and they only come out at certain times of day so last week was the first time I’d ever seen one since moving to Australia. They’re pretty cute though! And if I have the energy when I get home, I’ll do a strength workout before my stretching routine.

    Tues.10.10:
    I did a happy dance after weigh in this morning. Even though I’m not focusing weight loss, this is the lowest weight recorded in my renpho app since the end of 2020 when I bought the scale.
    Today will be a higher calorie day, but I’m planning a 5k+ walk along with my strength routine and stretching this evening, so should still be under. We are doing ravioli for dinner, so I won’t be surprised if there’s a small gain tomorrow with the gluten in the pasta.
    I definitely have noticed a difference in my workouts too - everything is getting a bit easier so at least I’m not huffing and puffing my way through the entire workout now!

    Weds.11.10:
    Weigh in is exactly as expected. I have a dr’s appointment Friday for my hip. It’s not getting better, and I’m pretty sure enthesitis based on the pain and location, along with swelling. But maybe it’s something completely different. Idk, that’s why I’m going to the doctor 😂
    Didn’t end up getting a strength workout in last night, so I will definitely be doing one tonight, along with a walk and my stretching routine.

    Thurs.12.10:
    Stretching, strength, and a nice short walk yesterday. I did a strength x pilates video rather than my own strength workout yesterday, and while it was challenging and had me sweating, it was a LOT easier than it would have been a few weeks ago. I think I would’ve had to modify most of it and do only one round, but I made it through without modifications until the second round! I won’t lie, I didn’t do most of the third round, but I’m still proud of what I completed.
    Same thing planned for this evening. I know I might not be able to get much in on the weekend unless I wake up early, so trying to get in everything before the weekend gets here!

    Fri.13.10:
    According to my watch I only got just under 4 hours of sleep last night. And it sure feels like it. Lack of sleep and TOM showing up, along with summer temps (36c/96f) have me not wanting to do anything today. I’ll see how I feel this evening and hopefully get some activity in once it cools down.
    My doctor’s visit was very unproductive. She didn’t seem to have any speculation as to what it could be and sent me for an x-ray, which seemed like a waste of time (spoiler: it was) because it doesn’t show anything except bones. The tech was nice enough to give me a look and let me know he didn’t see anything that would explain the pain (with the very large disclaimer that he’s not a doctor). MRI might be the next step, but honestly the pain isn’t that bad, I feel like I might just stick to walking and avoid running for a while and see if that doesn’t get it to go away. I’ve had enough strains and sprains and other inflammatory injuries in my life to know what they feel like and what I should do to let it heal. Since the doctor wasn’t overly concerned and there’s no fractures.. RICE it is 😅

    Sat.14.10:
    Late post today. Got out this morning and gave the front garden a much needed clean up. Got a walk and stretching in this evening. Food was okay, had a choc chip muffin instead of my planned and prepped brekkie, but shifted some other things around to make it all work. All up, pretty good day!

    Sun.15.10:
    Busy Sunday. Grocery shopping, meal prepping, and took my daughter to do a trial for her nails for formal (aus equivalent to prom). TOM is here in full force, and it’s ridiculously hot again today. I’ll try and get out for a walk once it cools down a bit, and might do an upper body workout later, avoiding doing full or lower body until my hip stops hurting though.

    R238Goals: Track everything. Stay vigilant/focused. 🏋️‍♀️ST 4x,
    NEW: Walk 4-5 mi per day (morn & eve brisk walk)

    UGW: Make choices to weigh 128 again & MAINTAIN.

    Daily Goals:
    70-80💦, Cal (1225-1325) Macros% 2-68-30, (Ketovore) 12k+steps, Burn 600+ activity calories, 90+ Activity minutes.

    R238⚖️: SW 134.0 (10/11)
    RGW: 133

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
    🛑🎢!
    ———————————

    10/9 DNW Yesterday: 22k steps, 8.5mi hike, 1147 ex cal, ate 1395 ✅macros

    10/9- Yesterday: Duck egg omelet for breakfast-delish! Steak burger lunch (no bread) & unfortunately SAME for dinner. I wanted grilled chicken last night but the restaurant was out of everything after a record weekend…. So just ate boring! Outstanding hike yesterday. Glorious sunset. Driving home today. Wonderful few days. Will not ⚖️tomorrow to give myself a day to reset. Long hikes provided ample time to reflect…. Invigorated. Ready for this Round!

    10/10 DNW Yesterday: In the car, most of the day, slept well last night. Good to be home - looking forward to getting back in the groove and adding walking. ✅Calories and macros.

    Fridge and pantry ✅ Already 24oz 💦 by 7am.

    I certainly wish we had some hills nearby, but our topography is simply flat as flat can be… I’ve planned Tennis and to walk 4+ miles this evening. Get to spend time with my DGS this eve! 😎❤️

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
    🛑🎢!
    ———————————

    10/11 ⚖️134.0 ngl really thought ⚖️ would be lower but guess what?!…NO emotions here! The 🎢 has been DEFEATED! Weight is going down much, MUCH slower than I had anticipated based on past results so it’s preparing me for the maintenance phase… “Mother Time” … This is basically how I’ll live the rest of my days….Embrace it! SIX more lbs to go. I’m not so much focused on the “pounds” but just the way I want to feel including a closet of tight clothes waiting to be worn…

    I’m most interested in losing fat/ gaining muscle … planning to start “targeted” strength training/lifting beginning 11/1… Let’s see what I can do between now and November 1st! My plan is to take 2-3 ST instructional classes to make sure my form is 💯 correct and then I’ll take it from there.

    Tennis was canceled this morning. I got in 12.3k steps, 60 ex minutes, 1223 cal, 500 move cal. Mac✅ Spent most of the day washing clothes… afternoon 4 mi walk. Settling in.

    NSV: TBH, I look and feel like I’ve lost 15+ pounds… Getting a few compliments… Per the scale - only lost 11 (Counting a week before joining this challenge). I’m still positive.

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
    ———————————

    10/12 Yesterday: ✅ cals, macros. ❌ everything else. Rained all day. Tennis cancelled. DH home all day so I got side-tracked. No exercise. 4k steps. Yuck. Easily distracted today. At least I ate well. Tremendous sadness and anxiety about world events. 🎢 Must train my thoughts to focus again. Focus on what I can control. Pray. Awake @ 3:30Am. Starting my day now. Will walk early this morn and ST. 🏋️‍♀️

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
    ———————————

    10/13 ⚖️ 133.5 Satisfying.

    Finally 10lbs since joining the this challenge 75 days ago (12lbs since mid-July) 5.5lbs to go- will take longer? Maybe the way I’m tackling this process will give me a “late” whoosh? Who knows… I do know I’m dutifully committed to the process and “falling in love with taking care of myself!” That sentence just put a smile on my face!

    ✅ cals, macros, activity min, 11.4k steps

    For the third day in a row tennis was canceled… I managed to get in a 1 mile jog and a 3.5 mi walk. I purchased a small insulated backpack for grocery store walks. I’ll make it a 3+mi RT (When I go for relatively few items.) A new journey! I doubt I will do it in winter, but for the next few months, I’m doing it! Yesterday was my maiden treck… ✅ Our perpetual chapel is on the route. I stopped in yesterday… This shall become a new healthy/meaningful step as well.

    We are going out to dinner tonight and tomorrow night, so I am pre-planning - today’s fuel and tonight’s food/drink. Looking forward! Finally, Tennis and ST today …. Also spending half the day with my DGS. Blessings galore! Happy weekend all!

    10/14 Yesterday was solid. Tennis & preparation. No time to walk extra so only 8k steps, 1460 move cals, 117 ex minutes. ✅ macros💦.

    Birthday celebrations this entire weekend with DH: One martini @ dinner w/o guilt. Halibut and lump crab meat. No wine or dessert! Another day today like yesterday…. Tennis, busy stuff then dinner out again tonight… but focused to get those extra steps in. GS soccer game this afternoon…. I’ll walk the fields! No alcohol tonight.

    Prepping for Tuesday. Huge family dinner. It’s amazing how much of our celebrations surround food…. I’ll be prepared!

    And…. ✅ Yesterday I also did 20 minutes of new ST 🏋️‍♀️… yes, I have even more muscles I never knew I had. What a wonderful feeling! New stretching too! Can barely move this morn but onward! (But it feels soooooo good!!!!)

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
    ———————————

    10/15 Didn’t weigh this morn. I don’t feel well enough to weigh. Didn’t sleep well cuzz we ate too late. (For me) Tossed and turned all night. Got up at 3am. I really don’t like when this happens.
    Yesterday: 1439 cal, 636 move cal, 78 ex minutes, 9.2k steps. ❌ Over macros by 10 net carbs. (three bites of my husband’s dessert last night). Two nights eating out has me off kilter. I’d rather be dull. I love being a home-body. 😎

    NSV: Feel/believe new habits are becoming ingrained… 💦before coffee, 💦before meals, 💦before bed (of course all day too) … walking whenever possible…. Tracking everything, ZERO processed foods. Lifting weights while catching up around the house, stretching, planks… I naturally don’t eat until 11-1… finish eating by 6pm. I’m not strictly IF… It’s just now I choose to eat between noon and six and if something comes up in the evening, I’ll adjust my hours accordingly. If I wake up super hungry, I’ll also grab some eggs…

    Based on how poorly I slept last night it’s really what I need and WANT to keep doing because my body is now used to it AND that’s when I FEEL my best! I personally thrive with that schedule. I want to keep feeling the way I’ve been feeling over the last few months… I feel healthy and strong. I even feel blessed & SMART to continue this journey. A certain amount of gratefulness creeps in … mindful choices help me to live in the present.

    **** EPIPHANY
    It’s taking me 10 or so minutes to put my thoughts down and literally while going through this journaling exercise I went from dragging / tired to uplifted/positive and ready for the day… This exercise helps me so much!

    It’s a beautiful day today! Tennis this morn and will consider a long walk later. Errands.

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

    @deepwoodslady Hi! DH birthday is 10/14 and mine is 10/17 and every year we celebrate the “week” surrounding… this year has been an eye-opener cuzz of celebrating around FOOD. I’m ready for all that to end already! Thx for asking! ❤️ And yes, it will be the “65”…. But based on the discussions that we had a few rounds ago, I’ve been reporting that I’m 65 all year so now it’s really NBD 😎.

    @justanotherjen13 You are killing it! Onward!

    @SModa61 Happy 40th! Such a wonderful milestone that is rare in today’s world. Bless you.

    Day, Weight, Comment

    10/09 - 187.2
    I’m feeling more hopeful this round.

    10/10 - 187.2
    Yesterday was a good day. My stomach is a bit funny this morning, no idea why. Hopefully it will straighten out as the day goes by. I’m hoping for a walk at one of our lovely parks I don’t get to often.

    10/11 - 187.6
    I had a bit of a binge yesterday after my tummy felt better, and it’s upset again this morning. Figures. I’ll try to behave myself today.

    10/12 - 187.6
    I did better most of yesterday, but did have triscuits and cheese late in the evening because I was hungry. I should have had an orange. And DH brought home bagels for breakfast yesterday after he had an early morning blood draw, and I ate half an Asiago cheese bagel with just enough whipped cream cheese to moisten. My excuse is that it does have protein! Other meals were better.

    10/13 - 188
    Crappola. But I ate responsibly yesterday, so must be time lag. I’m on an organizational bender today, trying to get back to on a writing schedule. Possible lunch with a friend, but I’ll stick to a low-cal salad or soup. Charlie has perked me up! Yesterday he discovered he doesn’t need to be hoisted onto the bed. 😁

    10/14 - 188
    I’m trying not to get discouraged.

    10/15 - 187.6
    I couldn’t sleep last night until after 5 a.m. because my feet were burning where they touch the bed. I never feel that except at night. Ugh. Aleve helps a little, but last night they were especially “hot.” I’m having my annual checkup in Nov. and will mention it, but doctors in the past have had little to offer other than checking my blood sugar (I’m not diabetic). Anyone here have any insights? Speaking of which…many thanks to @tiabirdie56 and whoever else mentions liposomal magnesium. I have had a food or leg cramp in weeks! Yay!

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    10/9 125.0 117.0 124.0 125.0 I think my scale had a stroke. I will keep on keeping on and see what tomorrow brings. I adjusted my macros and what a difference! Changed the timing on meals and snack.
    10/10 128.0 I knew the scale was wonky yesterday. Breakfast with neighbors yesterday and going to lunch with the ladies today. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
    10/11 128.5 No eating plans today. DH is going to lunch with blind friend. I hope I can fast. 1/2 cup of coffee in and stomach feels awful.
    10/12 129.0 Need TMI 🤷‍♀️
    10/13 129.0 Still no TMI B-B-Q yesterday- beef brisket only
    10/14 127.5 According to my Garmin app, my weight average for the previous 7 days is 127.6 Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever noticed that data on the screen before. It makes me feel good! Today will be a busy day visiting the “studios” of 3 art quilters.
    10/15 127.5 I enjoyed seeing the work spaces of 3 of my talented friends. One woman has made many (2 closets full) of garments, many entered in the Fairfield or Bernina fashion shows - and several prize winners. Absolutely beautiful though not very practical. Still, I am envious of her talent. We will spend the day at Age of Chivalry Renaissance festival. Lots of strolling. Hope to run into our Great Greek manager friend like we did last year.
