RND 245: My Journey ~ Round 2:
Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing. Read that again!
F, 67, 5β4"
SW-231
Estimated at end of RND 284, my 40th round, UGW-149
12/18~ Day 11 -227 ~ Ugh! Today, I chose wrong, change is needed.
~ Today was not a good day. Excuses aside, I ate poorly, didnβt exercise, and didnβt plan which was the goal I had for this round. Ugh! Plan for tomorrow!
12/19~ Day 12 -227 Almost forgot to log in.
~ Well, the scale isnβt moving much, but it is early in round 2 so Iβll give myself some grace. Kept the basics in check and met my goals. Ready for sleep.
12/20~ Day 13 -230 ~What the heck?
~This is frustrating and why I would normally quit. 13 days and Iβm back where I started. But as usual, when I have an upset, I sabotaged myself tonight by going over the calories for the 1st time in 13 days. Well, hopefully, I learn from the error and figure out what is keeping me from losing weight. I guess more effort is needed.
12/21~ Day 14 -225.3 ~ Thatβs it, I need a new scale!
~ I woke up and weighed, Itβs a miracle. Ha! So, I weigh something, but what? I will keep up with the plan until the new scale arrives and hopefully, it will be correct. I upped my walk to an hour today. Iβm sure Iβll be hearing from my knee later, but tuff stuff, it needs to deal with it. Iβm eating pretty well but still trying to up the fiber. Who would think it would be so difficult?
12/22~ Day 15 -223.6 ~ Is it the holidays?
~ Itβs a hard time of year. Sometimes not having children can be hard and I miss being around family. They are spread all over the country and as we age it is harder to gather. Sorry, on a downer tonight. Itβs a lack of sunshine and family. The great thing about today is tomorrow is a brand-new day with all the possibilities of sunshine and success.

Up waaayyyy to early today!
EPIPHANY:
I fessed up that I have struggled with my weight & the way I view /feel about my body since I was in grade-school. The last nine years I have gained and lost 15+ lbs SIX times. I deplore the way that π’ makes me feelβ¦ I feel like a failure each time I gain back the weight I lost. I donβt want THAT to happen again so this time Iβm paying ultra close attention π to what triggers me once I hit a weight goal, embrace that place a while and then, boomβ¦. Welcome 15! Soβ¦. Iβm setting new goals to build strength and muscle. β¦ New goals that will provide focus elsewhere than the scale. New goals that focus on strength. For me, building muscle/balance/agility, etc. is βharderβ than dropping pounds. The battle is between my ears.
If Iβve struggled for 55+ years with weight and self-image β¦ why would that disappear just because I lost 15 lbs? My struggle is more than poundsβ¦.
Iβm grateful for this βJGMTDβ Challenge. Every 10 days I can gently shift/tweak process/actions based on what I continue to learn about myself. Iβm glad Iβm on this journeyβ¦ Better late than never! πβ€οΈ
Pulling for all of you!ππ
MFP has terrific tools! I want to live around 130lbs the rest of my days! (Orange)

Yesterday: π―lazy day. β macros & 1438 cal.
Today: πͺπ»πΆββοΈπ€ΈπΌποΈββοΈ
Iβm up a little because Iβm off routine. Ok. Rational. Last night I decided to start fast @ 6pm. I felt terrific after that last fast and spent some time researching last night as to what happens to your body at 24, 48, and 72hrs - planning for 72. Pumped! Water, black coffee, electrolytes and grass-fed beef bone broth. πͺπ»

Woke up at 3:50! ππ³ Good Morning! Yes, scale is less but was expected. Iβm fasting to reset ketosis & recharge /reboot. Iβm hoping 130 will one day be my lean & mean ceiling!βΊοΈ
Because I spontaneously opted to fast, I also opted to remain sedentary yesterday. I did end up doing a lot of work around the house. I only counted πΆββοΈ. After 6 PM, (24hrs) I had 2 cups of bone broth over a couple of hours, drank tons of water & electrolytes.
Going on 36 hrs as I write this β¦ I feel really good this morn. No hunger pains yesterday, (because I kept drinkingβ¦ ) And I was super busy. I had tons of energy. No headaches. Peed all day. π. Hoping it goes as well today.
I had another business meeting yesterday β¦ Iβve been approached to take on a hefty project (in my profession). Yesterday was my third meeting in 10 days, and Iβm strongly considering saying yesβ¦ With each day that passes, Iβm becoming a little more excited about the opportunity. Ill have the flexibility to continue to pick up DGS from school, as well as play πΎ in the morning a few days a weekβ¦ and will also figure out how to πΆββοΈ&ποΈββοΈπ€ΈπΌon a regular basis. The project would last six monthsβ¦ Itβs actually too good to be true. So we will see! Itβs been five years since retiring β¦ would certainly be a wild & adventures ride cuzz I feel quite unprepared. We will meet once more after the holidays to solidify any arrangement β¦ π€π»!
Today: πΎ πΆββοΈand some π€ΈπΌ - letβs see! Not sure about stamina but will try. I can always stop. βll be fine this morning but Iβm prepared for a little waiver-ing between noon and 2pmβ¦. πͺπ»
Note: TBH, For some reason, fasting is easier for me than I thought it would be. This is only my second go round. I find it much easier to just say no then it is to plan food/figure out what to eatβ¦. Itβs a competition with myself. Once I did the research & learned of the long list of positive benefitsβ¦ It was a no-brainer for me personally. I once truly believed fasting was for WHACKOS π. Really! Isnβt that horrible? Itβs not for everyone butβ¦ If youβre thinking about it, I encourage you to read up!

Yesterday: β macros & 80 cal, πΆββοΈ8.2k, 122 ex min, 1284 ex cal π₯, πZ2 18 min, included some ποΈββοΈ&π€ΈπΌ.
When I first started playing tennis, I could feel the effects of the fast with an elevated heart rate, but then I played through itβ¦ so I decided to take it easy on ST ποΈββοΈ. Fully wiped out when I got home. Nice visit with my DGS. Rested and vegged out the rest of the night.
βοΈ 128.4 Thatβs the fast and my body rebooting β¦ will prol be 129-130 tomorrow. After today, I have to really buckle down on
πΆββοΈπ€ΈπΌποΈββοΈ.
Fast: Boy, was I hungry yesterday! 2pm till bedβ¦. Drank electrolytes & bone broth. No headache. Feel great this morn. 12 more hours. Playing tennis today. Feeling like I have to take it easy, but I may have a burst of energy, so letβs see! Thurs, Fri& Sat will be jammed with cooking & holiday! Will definitely get in early πΆββοΈ. Some ποΈββοΈπ€ΈπΌ.

Yesterday: β macros & 1055 cal, πΆββοΈ6.2k, 103 ex min, 1022 ex cal π₯, πZ2 16min. π«ποΈββοΈπ€ΈπΌ
I playedπΎ singles (A big deal in itself, 65β¦ vs a 48-year-old youngster) & when over I decided not to pursue ποΈββοΈπ€ΈπΌ. My heart rate was up a good bit, so I thought it would be wise to limit any further activity, until FAST was completed.
I thought about food continuously from noon-3pm. I researched the difference between 48hr & 72hr fast and there is little difference⦠I had almost convinced myself to eat some scrambled eggs, but then I was running late to pick up my DGS from school. And because I was busy, I just decided what the heck just do 72 hrs. Goal accomplished!
π₯© &π₯π₯for dinner! YUM.
Today: Definitely πΆββοΈπ€ΈπΌποΈββοΈ. Eat lots of protein. Feel AWESOME. And yes, fasting is about your mind/will power. Itβs not all hunger.
β‘οΈThoughts
β‘οΈ Emotions
β‘οΈ Actions.
Stop negative thoughts (excuses & rationalizations) & winning becomes reality. I have a choice. Hard stuff matters.
(Confession, β¬οΈ this is an affirmation β¦ I must say it over & & over & OVER again for it to become real!)π
Setting a goal and completing the goal gives me BIG confidence. Iβll have a pep in my step today. π

We had a major MAJOR plumbing issue occur yesterday morning. Plumber canβt come till 12/26β¦. Thank goodness we arenβt hosting guests this holiday! I stayed on target with cal and macros but zero exercise. Couldnβt do anything. Hopefully today. πΎποΈββοΈπ€ΈπΌ.
NSV: I feel great! Positive daily choices are βmostlyβ routine. Clothes too big/super loose. Mental clarity and strength. Sleeping so much better. No aches / pains. Slept to 5:20 this morn! BUT: Still need more consistency ποΈββοΈπ€ΈπΌ.
Biggest NSV: I know my body so much better! The scale doesnβt own my emotions. Iβve conquered the roller coaster π’!As long as Iβm βon planβ Im not going to think twice over a 2 -3 pound fluctuation. (If I pig out, of course, Iβll be down on myself β¦ But thatβs differentβ¦ Thatβs π―on me& not the scale !!

Health Journey
1990 (Age 32) - Avg. 135 lbs
2001 (Age 43) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) HW 172 lbs
UGW = 130lbs (ceiling)
In Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 1/1/2015. Weight topped @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!
π’ Roller Coaster Beginsβ¦.
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs.
8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held 130lbs till 1/1/23.
2023 Back β¬οΈ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much! Ive always eaten healthy BUT portion control is/was a huge issue. Started tracking. Joined βJust give me 10 daysβ R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are!
I learned MY choices created an emotional π’ roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to reach 130lbs as a ceiling. Pretty clear to me that once I reached a goal weight I would then relax/ drift backwards. So glad 145lbs was the max over the last nine years.
I also noticed that as I age it becomes much MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could loose 15lbs easy in 6 to 8 weeks up to 2020ish β¦ This is absolutely not true anymore!!!!

Sense of taste is returning though not entirely. Appetite better, but too many oatmeal raisin cookies yesterdayβ¦at 130 calories apiece and I had 5 of them. Since Covid is behind me, I need to exercise these next 4 days, drink water, and eat nice portions of veggies.7 -
I'm Julie. 35 years old. Married. SAHM to two year old twins.
SW RND 245: 135.6 (end of last round).
12/18: 136.1. Oops, not starting off in the right direction. I started baking the Christmas cookies. I may have sampled a few too many. I also didn't go to the gym because my husband worked late. I went for a short walk, but nothing big.
12/19: 139.1. Holiday eating has arrived. Baked more Christmas cookies. I know I didn't gain 3 pounds of fat over night. I'm not going to stress about it until after Christmas. I'll be up some, but no real damage I won't be able to undo in the next round.
12/20: 138.0. I felt kinda sick most of yesterday. Just did a short walk. Eating wasnt great. But that's okay for now.
12/21: 136.2.
12/22: 133.9. Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow! I was not expecting that woosh. While a happy surprise, I'm not taking my weight too seriously for this round. My only goal is to post here every day. I'll have to wait see where it ends up after all of the holiday meals.
12/23: 136.4. No idea what happened to loss yesterday. But today is our first Christmas gathering. I'm going to try to eat reasonably but not stress it. I'm fully expecting my weight to be high tomorrow. And I'm okay with that.

Finding it unrealistic to log this week- so many landmines. I am eating healthfully at home, moderately when out. No binging, and only tasting one of each of the many cookies I've made, but I know that the next few days are full of landmines. So I am just going to keep logging in, checking in and count that as successful for this round- and start for real on the next round. I am weighing myself every other day, and ready to shift into gear on 12/28. My goal for the next few days is to stay the same!
Thank you for giving me this place to connect and start to be accountable!

12/18 - 174.8. I can't believe we're even posting on a weight loss site on Christmas week! I'm gonna treat myself to one full cupcake, donut, big cookie, or ? As soon as I decide which one. Other than that, my Christmas extras will be mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, lots of French fried onions straight from the bag while I'm making the green bean casserole. Hopefully I won't backslide much. Just 10 more pounds. I know I can. I know I can.

12/22 -178.8- (Trend weight 179.5) It was a horrible eating day yesterday. Most of my meals were okay (I was on the higher calorie/carb day of zig-zag) so all was well until snack time. Off the charts, my friends! I stepped on both of my scales today to make sure that I did stay exactly the same as yesterday because it is almost impossible! Iβm fearful it will show up tomorrow or the next day. I jumped on the exercise bike to offset the calories a bit last night after the handyman left, but we all know that you cannot outrun the fork. Even if the scale stays even, Iβm not getting anywhere like this, oh, what it is doing to my blood glucose levels! Get a grip Donna! Today I will zig-zag to an extra low calorie and low carb day to offset a bit. Iβll fit some more exercise in when my handyman leaves tonight if I can, but my daughter and DGS will be arriving this evening to stay the weekend again. Sheβs the foodie!
12/23 -179.2- (Trend weight 179.5) Thereβs the uptick I couldnβt find but expected yesterday. I have some work to do! I think handyman will be finishing the tiling on the fireplace today. Now we have to wait for the new grilles to come in that we ordered to complete the look and functionality. Parts are on backorder but are expected by Jan 3rd. I just want it done already! Iβm very tired today and really dragging my feet. Coffee isnβt helping this time.

Day, Weight, Comment
12/18 - DNW
Found out yesterday my BFF has Covid. She started feeling sick on Sat., and we spent a few hours together knitting on Fri. She was vaccinated , but hadnβt yet gotten this fallβs booster addressing new strains. π’ Iβm vaccinated and boosted, so hopefully Iβll be ok. Someone sitting across from her at the party last Wed. wasnβt feeling well so we suspect thatβs where she got it. Why do people go to events when theyβre sick? Yeesh. Anyway, I guess Iβll be a homebody for a few days so I donβt pass anything on. Thatβs ok. I need to do some serious cleaning, and I finished knitting a sweater last night so need to finish and wash it and DHβs Christmas sweater. Iβll be hiding in my office for that one! π Iβm still not weighing or tracking, and I think Iβm doing ok. This break is giving me time to really think about what I want to keep in my food world and what I want to let go. I feel way too heavy, but with this little break, I also feel a bit more hopeful about a new start and better results.
12/19 - π³
I βunofficiallyβ weighed myself this morning. Iβm not reporting the results here, but as I suspected, Iβm too heavy. Itβs ok, though, since Iβm on my little break. I just wanted a little feedback. Iβve been thinking a lot about what changes Iβll make when I get back at it. As Iβve mentioned, DH does a lot of the cooking here and is a big pasta fan, but I know itβs not great for me, so Iβm going to stock up on proteins I can make for myself when heβs having pasta pasta pasta (unless I can have mine with lentil pasta). Also going to limit my bread to 2 thin-sliced pieces a day. I do like sandwiches for lunch. Iβm going to focus on non-starchy veggies and lean proteins, and a semi-Mediterranean plan. But not yet. After Christmas. If I try to start to limit things now, Iβll fail, and that wonβt help me stick to anything except more of the same. So this is my little in-between reset window. On other fronts (though, I believe, related to my eating), I did a lot of cleaning yesterday and finished the sweater I was working on. I hope you donβt mind, but Iβm sharing this one, too, because I love the beautiful tweedy yarn!
12/20 - DNW
Something is happening with this little reset period of mineβ¦Iβve been sleeping embarrassingly late the past few months, but this morning I popped up, not early, but 90 minutes earlier than I have been dragging myself out of bed. Thatβs one of my goals going forwardβget up earlier and write for a couple of hours. I used to write almost every morning from 6 to 10:30ish, 1,000 words a day. I havenβt written seriously in wayyyyy too long. I feel better when Iβm writing. I eat better and exercise more. And Iβve realized that the gap not writing has created in my life may be the one Iβm filling with food. Hey, maybe thereβs an essay in thisβ¦.. π
12/21 - DNW
Happy Solstice, all! For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the light will be returning after tonight, the thought of which makes winter bearable for me. π I mentioned yesterday a feeling that Iβm turning a corner of some sort during this little break Iβm taking. More evidenceβ¦I baked shortbread cookies on Tuesday, revisiting my Scottish mamaβs recipe. I love shortbread, but Iβve eaten only two of them. Usually I have trouble keeping my hands out of the cookie jar! And I was thinking of baking a cake, but suddenly feel completely uninterested in sugary things. So Iβve decided that the only thing Iβll bake for Christmas will be a mincemeat pie (which has no meat). I FINALLY feel ready to drop these obnoxious pounds Iβve put (back) on since 2019. Yay!
12/22 - πDNW
Itβs my birthday, so per our tradition, DH is taking me βoutβ for late lunch/dinner (although weβll likely get carry out, which is fine with me). Iβm trying to decide what I want. At the moment nothing sounds very enticing, but by 1 oβclock Iβm sure something will. Otherwise, nothing much planned other than a walk, some reading, and some knitting!
12/23 - DNW
Thank you, friends, for all the birthday wishes! It was a lovely day. I did eat cake, but DH and I both found the cake (new recipe) way too sweet, and I tossed the remains. Thatβs ok, I got my bd piece. Iβm considering today the start of my new year, and my renewed commitment to getting this weight off.

12/22-DNW-Ive Ben baking, packing up treats and had the quilt guild pot luck last night. Spent 6 nights with my dad last week and got home a week ago tomorrow and itβs been one thing after another. DH wanted 50 homemade cinnamon rolls for Wed. and dessert for 20 yesterday. I had to tell him NO, I was not making cinnamon rolls and that I would do the dessert but only half of it was going to be cookies and fudge and the other half would be something I could make in a 13/9 and send with him. I think I finally have a handle on things. I plan to keep Christmas simple.
12/23-168-Getting things done. MIL has bone marrow cancer and feels like she should stay home. We were going to keep the gathering small anyway because her immune system is very poor. We will make Christmas dinner and take it to her house. One son gets here today and one tomorrow; Iβm excited to see them.7 -

12/22 133.5 DD and DGGS came over for a visit. He seems to be cutting more teeth and was a little cranky. I had beef brisket for lunch yesterday, leftovers today. Went to bed at 8 last night because I couldnβt keep my eyes opened. Then I was up every 2 hours because I had a cramp in my left ankle. Garmin shows 8 hours 43 minutes of sleep but I sure donβt feel rested. Tomorrow we are invited to friends for dinner.
12/23 134.0 Out to brunch with blind friend - steak, eggs, potatoes and toast. 1 cup of leftover squash, green pepper, and onion in the evening. 12 Hersheyβs kisses I need to throw those things away! Hershey has ALWAYS been my favorite chocolate.6 -

I empathize with your situation. My kids are also out of state and Iβm missing them and my grandkids but there will be other days for that. Christmas is just one day of the year.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 245 (my 175th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to, stay strong over the festive period, holiday abroad (20 days!).Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, itβs taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

SW RND 245
12/18 141- went to see Santa with little DGDs in Dudley Tunnels, had lunch there, didn't choose 100% wisely, but was full for the rest of the day so only fruit later.
12/19 140.6 β 8.14 miles walked, 45% of exercise calories eaten back.
12/20 138.8 β pleased to see this number, it was our Christmas lunch yesterday for my DSs & a couple of FF, a real lovely girlie festive time. We all had a carvery choice was large, medium, or small; my NSV I chose small and was very selective with my veggies, had a glass of wine instead of a sweet, felt really satisfied. Only ate fruit in the evening, didnβt need anything else. 6.56 miles walked, all exercises calories plus 346 eaten.
12/21 140.4 β 10.85 miles yesterday, 80% exercise calories eaten back.
12/22 140.4 β no structured walking as child minding little DGS.
12/23 DNW β out super earl to complete Christmas food shopping. 10.85 miles walked all exercise calories eaten back plus 3 glasses of rosΓ© wine, out at SIL and partners, no control over food served.

ππThis is NOT A DIET. Itβs a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!!

Thrilled to be in my fourth Round. I haven't been this long in an eating routine in many years. Not sure why this is working for me. I know that Carbs are my weak point, so I have designed an eating plan that avoids or minimizes them. I try to shop for my plan daily at the same time. Holidays treats surround me. I am avoiding the places that will get me in trouble (staff lounge). This round I am adding water and tracking it. I may be a little dehydrated. Let's find out. Nothing changes if nothing changes.

@GregoryStaley 1. Hit the quote button. 2. After you see their final sentence that ends in [ /quote] you can type the @ symbol and their screen name with no space (see your name at the start of my message in blue). 3. Now you may type your message to them next to their name. Then simply post your reply with the post button.
By the way, if you do not want to show all of their message, you may delete any parts of their message after you've hit the quote button. Just make sure you leave the [ quote ] that is at the start of their message and also leave their name. Then go ahead and follow step 2.
I hope this is clear enough and doesn't sound too jumbled. I use a PC. I am not sure if it would be different on your phone.5
