Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 252

deepwoodslady

Thanks to everyone for the Congratulations. I don't even know whether to believe the scale. I will say that I got on it several times and it was consistent. It's so strange how the body will catch up to you-good or bad, even if it takes days.

@quiltingjaine I also have never had a facial but I have given them as gifts many times especially for my two daughters during all their pregnancies (along with manicures and pedicures) so they would feel beautiful and relaxed. Maybe I will set a specific goal for myself and reward myself with one. Much better than the food rewards I sometimes use for myself. We all know THAT is NEVER a good idea!

Thanks everyone for the finish the month STRONG vibes! Even if I creep back up a tad, I know it will slip back down!!!

2/26- 167.3 There's a slight chill in the air tonight and despite wearing wool socks, I can't seem to shake the cold. Good excuse to tuck into a warm bed just a little early.
2/27- 167.2 My husband and I have lost almost half our dog between the two of us at 31 pounds combined. Also, the store had ground turkey packages on sale for $1.99 because the use or freeze by date is in the next week, so I grabbed three of those. We actually prefer turkey tacos to the ground beef ones, so it was a good find.
2/28- 167.9 Staying in my calorie goal.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 252 (my 182nd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going, so grateful.
Goals for this round; to lose! Scale has been a bit erratic the previous round, obviously reflects rate of consistency (or not!). Must concentrate on consistency in the next round, really want to get back down especially as at the moment the choice of my clothes that comfortably fit is limited, do not want to have to buy a bigger size!! And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
Good luck everyone for a successful round.

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, it’s 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.

HW- 242
LW- 142
2024- 200.4

I’ve been slowly gaining 10lbs a year over the last few years. This challenge helps me stay focused.

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee. I don’t often comment but I do read everyone.

Rnd 261- 196.4

2/26- 195.6
2/27- 193.6
2/28- 191.4
2/29- 191.6 over the years there have been so many points of view over how often to weigh. Everyone has a different relationship with the scale. While I sometimes fight with my body and my relationship with food can be downright abusive, the scale has always been the friend that tells me the truth.
My scale is in my walk-in closet and I weigh 3-5 times a day, every time I change clothes. Pj’s to workout gear to morning chore clothes to leaving the house clothes back to chore clothes to evening workout clothes and back to pjs.
I find it interesting watching my daily weight cycle, lol I’d lose my mind if I was logging it all. Just knowing how much I fluctuate during one day reminds me that the number is just a snapshot of a single moment in time.

2/26:⚖️ 130.8lbs
✅ all measures. Added bonus of six mile walk around town.
Don’t want to say “maintenance” per se because that conjures up pre-conceived, misguided thinking/process on my part. (Why? It’s NEVER worked!) Rather, I am now living, believing & owning: Fit & Healthy. I am launching my “Chapter_3” @ 65 years young -focusing on building strength and losing body fat.
Today: high protein day and will hit all measures. Starting early this morning. 🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼🎾.

BTW- For anyone who is interested I detailed my WOE in “About me”

Good luck to everyone!💪🏻😎

2/27: ✅Did it all! However, only 🏋️‍♀️for 10 min and not 20. Really don’t enjoy 🏋️‍♀️but WILL make it happen Wednesday. Gorgeous day -another day spent outside.

Played basketball (or TRIED to play basketball) with my DGS yesterday…. (He is almost 10) Wow, wore me OUT! Then last night I read THIS:

“Cultivating a fit body lays the foundation for overall well-being: a sharper mind, resilient health, and sustained vitality. Gaining the stamina and movement to actively participate with loved ones and enjoy them.” That’s it! The ultimate goal is not “looking good” it’s creating a lifetime of vitality!

NSV: “Food is fuel”. I’m not 100% there yet but almost! The last week or so what I put in my mouth was not an issue… My goal is to check off my macros!

I’m also realizing that my day-to-day life is so much easier when food is fuel… It’s freeing up time to explore new hobbies and new habits!
Today: 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼🎾🚶‍♀️

2/28: ✅🙆‍♀️🤸🏼🎾🚶‍♀️. Great day yesterday but slept awful last night - couple of hours. Hope to 🏋️‍♀️today -I have a 🎾match this morn. Maybe I can get my DGS to 🏋️‍♀️with me this afternoon. Have NOT 🚫done a chapter in “Habit Mechanic” since Sunday. No excuses. Maybe I’ll be more motivated when my coffee kicks in. Not sure how much I can get done today, but I will stay positive! 💦💦💦

2/29:⚖️ 132.2lbs ✅ all plans met yesterday. This morning ⚖️ read is sincerely surprising to me. (The person who is never surprised by the scale). My only guess is my sleep patterns are way off… Haven’t been sleeping well at all. I’m following my routine to a T. So it AINT WHAT I ATE OR DRANK!
👍🏻😀 Onward!
Today: miserable weather today & for the next few…. so … 🏋️‍♀️this morning and planning a “miserable weather routine”. Have a few meetings this morn then DGS this afternoon. “Habit Mechanic” this eve 💦✅

NSV: Really pleased with progress. Much slower than anticipated but wouldn’t change a thing! Feeling great. Over 225 days unbroken tracking streak. Yay me!

About Me & Health Journey
****************************

F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.

WOE since 7/2023: Whole Foods only. Emphasis is animal-based proteins. EGGS, Beef, pork, chicken, seafood, venison and grass-fed whey protein. I count macros & kcals - always will. (Since portion control is my issue). Keto is high-fat but I’m now leaning lower fat with leaner proteins. My mother was diagnosed with celiac’s disease in her 50’s. Following her lead, I eliminated wheat, oat, barley, and rye several years ago…. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter -an occasional Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… Of course, I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for a few days… I do enjoy berries, lemon, lime. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be a social drinker and would enjoy a good martini/scotch or Paloma at home while cooking dinner. NO MORE. Root of many evils. Primarily, the destruction of will power and the enemy of optimal choices. I’d rather venture toward my best-self. This is me. I feel terrific.

History:

I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - NEVER - no matter my weight.

Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- up to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.135/140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs in 2010. 130lbs by end of 2014.
2020 (Age 62) 130-135lbs
7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs

UGW = 129-130lbs
⬆️SMM: 100lbs +
BF% : 23%

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take serious control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 11/15/2014. Weight @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Six years!

Another 🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.

8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 10/30 - held 130lbs till 2/1/23.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much. Nutrition has always been somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was THE issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130ish determined to…. STOP the 🎢 & be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣

The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.

I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE.

As I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2022 ish … This is not true anymore.

While active with 🚶‍♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼routine was absent. Strength & balance are 💯most important now. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️‍♀️ 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus.

This is my posting format….

Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
/ Logged Food - yesterday; Exercise – yesterday / Comment

As a matter of tradition, an uptick on the first day.

/logged; but no workout/
228 on 2/28! Let’s hope this is not a reoccurring phenomenon for the rest of the year. Ha! I will need an all-new wardrobe by Friday.

Yesterday was a sedentary day of meetings. We capped it off with a visit to Logan’s Roadhouse to spend a gift card (of all reasons.)

We have somehow collected too many unspent gift cards. I think retailers like gift card sales for this reason. Actually I don’t know how gift cards are handled in their books so I shouldn’t jump to conclusions. I do know this; someone paid Logan’s $25 for a gift card years ago (pre-covid) and they got to hold the cash until I bought a meal last night. They have also discontinued the practice of serving free peanuts in the shell, so that was a benefit for them …and me.

By the way, they were short staff like so many other businesses these days.

2/25: 226.4
Starting weight on day before this round.

2/29: 226.4
/food logged; body exercised; under watered/
NSV today. Even though the scale is not making drastic moves, I can sense changes starting in my body because of the diet and exercise improvements in these last couple rounds. Just think of the NSV’s if I should happen to “buckle down.”

Remember my gift card story at Logan’s? Well, yesterday I couldn’t find my credit card! Yes I left it at Logan’s. My brain is short staff.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Sweetzyd

I'm Crystal! 40 yrs old, wife and mama of 3 (ages 14, 13 & 5)! I counted calories about 5 yrs ago and got down to goal weight. Life got in the way and I stopped being mindful and gained it all back. What I've realized from then to now, is that this truly is a lifestyle. I can't eat any way I want and expect to keep the weight off. At the moment I'm doing OMAD (Started Feb 5th). I'm unsure if I'll stick with this my whole journey or if I'll add another meal for 2 meals a day. I'm also trying to keep my calories still within the 1200 range and watching sugar and carbs. I feel so much better since I've cut back on everything. Once I do get to goal weight, of course I will add some calories back in to maintain.

2/26 178.8 didn't follow through with my goals yesterday. The weekends definitely seem a lot harder to stick to them. Oh well, planning for a better day! Good luck everyone!
2/27 177.2 My body was definitely holding weight from all the carbs the other day. Had a good day yesterday. Ate very healthy and stuck with my goals, although I didn't get a walk in. Feel great this morning!
2/28 177.2 Another good day!
2/29 177.0 Yesterday was church and we always eat dinner there. My excuse not to have to cook 🤪. Burger, fries and cookie- but it's ok in moderation! Something always seems to come up when I plan to walk so plan to get that in today. Hope everyone is having a great week! (7.5lbs total loss in February)

I forgot to weigh myself until I’d had coffee and a big glass of water, so I’ll let it go for today. It’s my Monday lunch out with a friend day, so I skipped breakfast and won’t have much dinner. Hard to believe it’s the last week of February!

2/27 - 194.6
I had a big lunch yesterday, but no breakfast or dinner, so all good. I started today with a high-protein breakfast and feel much more positive than I have the past few weeks. It’s gorgeous out this morning so I’m doing a few outdoor things before the rain moves in. Yay!

Forgot to sign in! That’s unusual for me—just got distracted. 🤪

Leap! Going to the home & garden show with a friend in a bit. Should be fun, and lots of walking.

2/27-173-life has been very busy and is finally slowing down and I am finally able to pick and choose what is going to take up my time. The bees are all out in the blooming almond trees and will remain here for a few more weeks, so I’ll probably just walk at home. Got a heat mat and started a bunch of seeds. Now need to get the raised beds put together and filled.

2/28-173-Went to yoga then rode the horse. Had lunch then needed a nap. What the heck? I’m 58 and get tired. Had a cup of coffee and read. Then I was ready to go plant/start more seeds. I wanted to walk but it has been so windy. Maybe I’ll walk with the horse today.

2/29-175-A whoosh up, but I don’t mind because I finally got moving yesterday. Dentist, walk with horse and friend 2 miles then yard work. Happy with what I got accomplished, just too many snacks. Yoga today then a bit of sewing with Quilts of Honor gals.

Hi, I'm Charissa

Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!

Goals this round:
- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget 🍎
- Macros - hit Protein ✅
- Water - 64oz minimum > trying hard for 80💧
- Closing my rings M-F🚶🏽

Time to refocus and reel it in tighter....No excuses. Last round I almost lost what I gained in the prior 2.
Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss and supports gains.

Dates = Weight ; Comments for prior day.
2/25 216.8 🚶🏽Lazy day on Saturday. Did get my work out in! Watched 3 of the movies nominated for best picture. There was alcohol so happy for scale to not have lost it's mind
2/26 〰️ 216.8 🚶🏽Sunday was ok, but no scale feedback. I measured and see that I've lost 10 inches since January 3rd. That helped a bit with motivation! Didn't sleep well.
2/27 ⬇️ 216.6🍎✅ Water was only at 64, aiming for 80. Didn't exercise yesterday since I had such a terrible night.
2/28 ⬇️ 215.8🍎✅💧🚶🏽A few too many pretzels as we were stuck in the underground garage of our apartment for almost two hours waiting for the severe weather to pass.
2/29 ⬇️ 215.4🍎✅💧🚶🏽 Slow downward trend. Glad to see the end of February. It was not good for me but it could have been worse. Ready for March and all the good that it will bring!!!

@javaplace ~ Me too. My last post I just had time to update so now catching up. Way to go and Looking GOOD!! Sometimes we just need to see that lower number...then we know it's attainable!!

@skyleen75

Just knowing how much I fluctuate during one day reminds me that the number is just a snapshot of a single moment in time.

That's a great way to think about it...as sometimes the scale rules my head!!

@sweetzyd ~ Congrats on the February loss. That is amazing for a single month!!

02/26 -180.2- (Trend weight 180.2)

02/27 -179.4- (Trend weight 180.2)

02/28 -176.6- (Trend weight 179.8) Woo Hoo! My lowest weight since the 2020 Pandemic started! Even with no TMI x 2! I must say though that I am very likely a bit dehydrated as my water intake has been horrible for the past 3 or 4 days. Today is a busy day including taking my DGS for a haircut before the upcoming school concert. I will take him to dinner after but I usually pass on ordering anything so we shall see how that works out today. I will push water as often as I can. I would love to finish February strong.

02/29 -177.0- (Trend weight 179.5) A blip up on the scale but a blip down on the trend weight as my body readjusts to that big whoosh yesterday. I didn’t get in too much movement due to so much shopping online for building supplies for the reno. Then I visited my friend with cancer in the evening until about 9:30 pm. Today will be more time on the computer but I meet the school bus at 3:30 and my kindergarten grandson will keep me on my toes until Friday night! My heart flutters every week when I get to spend this time with him. I am showing a 4.6 lb loss for February and for that I am pleased and grateful.

I took it pretty easy yesterday, did a light run and a little walking around the neighborhood. I think this weather has me in a funk. Cheers to a new month! We have visitors coming and will be travelling to a wedding.

SW (this round) 150.7

2/26 - 151.1 - first day of new challenge and I’m going the wrong way 🙁. Still recovering from a stressful week last week. 3.5 mile run

2/27 - 149.2 - FINALLY broke 150. I am SO happy to see this number!!! Now, I just need to hold onto it.

2/28 - 148.9 - so excited to see the scale still moving in the right direction. I have not been this weight since March of last year. I know it will bounce up again for a bit but feeling very hopeful with the momentum I am seeing.

2/29 - 149.6 I set my goal to be under 150 by the end of February - and I have done that. Super happy with myself for (mostly) sticking to the plan and getting back on track when things pushed or pulled me the wrong way. March goal to end under 145

  ~ Ok pre-TMI I was 178.4 and then post-TMI I was 176.1! (Still so thankful for code names!) But when the difference is so extreme like that, I’m going to divide and subtract the difference. Because well, I must just REALLY had to go!! lol
  ~ Still having a hard time getting back on the treadmill. Dealing with a little PTSD when I was on there for too long Friday and Saturday which made my feet sore afterwords. This is probably contributing to my “I can eat whatever I want” mental state of mind right now.

2/26- 167.3 There's a slight chill in the air tonight and despite wearing wool socks, I can't seem to shake the cold. Good excuse to tuck into a warm bed just a little early.
2/27- 167.2 My husband and I have lost almost half our dog between the two of us at 31 pounds combined. Also, the store had ground turkey packages on sale for $1.99 because the use or freeze by date is in the next week, so I grabbed three of those. We actually prefer turkey tacos to the ground beef ones, so it was a good find.
2/28- 167.9 Staying in my calorie goal.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 252 (my 182nd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going, so grateful.
Goals for this round; to lose! Scale has been a bit erratic the previous round, obviously reflects rate of consistency (or not!). Must concentrate on consistency in the next round, really want to get back down especially as at the moment the choice of my clothes that comfortably fit is limited, do not want to have to buy a bigger size!! And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
Good luck everyone for a successful round.

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, it’s 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.

2024- 200.4

I’ve been slowly gaining 10lbs a year over the last few years. This challenge helps me stay focused.

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee. I don’t often comment but I do read everyone.

Rnd 261- 196.4

2/26- 195.6
2/27- 193.6
2/28- 191.4
2/29- 191.6
3/1- 189.4 wowza that is a fun number to see, especially heading into the weekend. The stall will happen, the bounce will happen but I’m gonna ride this whoosh.
I don’t generally count calories because I can become obsessive and restrictive. Also long term I find it exhausting and for me not sustainable.
I did count calories and carbs for so many years that I am pretty knowledgeable about serving sizes and better options. I do read labels and eat mostly unprocessed foods.
The closer I get to my healthier weight range the slower it will go. At that point I think I might do some weighing, measuring and logging if I stall too hard. But maybe not, I’m open to allowing my body to find it’s weight as opposed to deciding I have a number goal.

3/1: and we're in March! No reason for the uptick on the scale- just my body doing what it wants...

I love March with its occasional beautiful day that brings hope for spring. I love winter, but by Feb I'm done with gray, cold, dark, rain. March is "birthday month" for myself and many of those near and dear to me so we always have fun times together. Also, baseball season opened and my DP (dear partner) coaches, so he's very happy!

2/26:⚖️ 130.8lbs
✅ all measures. Added bonus of six mile walk around town.
Don’t want to say “maintenance” per se because that conjures up pre-conceived, misguided thinking/process on my part. (Why? It’s NEVER worked!) Rather, I am now living, believing & owning: Fit & Healthy. I am launching my “Chapter_3” @ 65 years young -focusing on building strength and losing body fat.
Today: high protein day and will hit all measures. Starting early this morning. 🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼🎾.

BTW- For anyone who is interested I detailed my WOE in “About me”

Good luck to everyone!💪🏻😎

2/27: ✅Did it all! However, only 🏋️‍♀️for 10 min and not 20. Really don’t enjoy 🏋️‍♀️but WILL make it happen Wednesday. Gorgeous day -another day spent outside.

Played basketball (or TRIED to play basketball) with my DGS yesterday…. (He is almost 10) Wow, wore me OUT! Then last night I read THIS:

“Cultivating a fit body lays the foundation for overall well-being: a sharper mind, resilient health, and sustained vitality. Gaining the stamina and movement to actively participate with loved ones and enjoy them.” That’s it! The ultimate goal is not “looking good” it’s creating a lifetime of vitality!

NSV: “Food is fuel”. I’m not 100% there yet but almost! The last week or so what I put in my mouth was not an issue… My goal is to check off my macros!

I’m also realizing that my day-to-day life is so much easier when food is fuel… It’s freeing up time to explore new hobbies and new habits!
Today: 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼🎾🚶‍♀️

2/28: ✅🙆‍♀️🤸🏼🎾🚶‍♀️. Great day yesterday but slept awful last night - couple of hours. Hope to 🏋️‍♀️today -I have a 🎾match this morn. Maybe I can get my DGS to 🏋️‍♀️with me this afternoon. Have NOT 🚫done a chapter in “Habit Mechanic” since Sunday. No excuses. Maybe I’ll be more motivated when my coffee kicks in. Not sure how much I can get done today, but I will stay positive! 💦💦💦

2/29:⚖️ 132.2lbs ✅ all plans met yesterday. This morning ⚖️ read is sincerely surprising to me. (The person who is never surprised by the scale). My only guess is my sleep patterns are way off… Haven’t been sleeping well at all. I’m following my routine to a T. So it AINT WHAT I ATE OR DRANK!
👍🏻😀 Onward!
Today: miserable weather today & for the next few…. so … 🏋️‍♀️this morning and planning a “miserable weather routine”. Have a few meetings then DGS this afternoon. “Habit Mechanic” this eve! 💦✅

NSV: Really pleased with progress. Much slower than anticipated but wouldn’t change a thing! Feeling great. Over 225 days unbroken tracking streak. Yay me!

3/1: Yesterday:🙆‍♀️🤸🏼and minimal 🏋️‍♀️. Only walked 3k steps.
✅ macros & kcals

Oh, And I had to ⚖️ this morning cuzz I was simply curious About Yesterdays up-tic… & of course… back down a little to 131.2…. Stil obsessed with below 130 goal but that’s really dumb. Yes, it’s 💯 wasted negative energy!

I am ADD so getting distracted around my house is an extremely unhelpful habit. Even though I had meetings and DGS yesterday, every free moment, I CHOSE to piddle away. Yesterday was laziness personified. Then, I beat up on myself for it. But… will shift gears today.. I WILL act!

TODAY: Losing fat is hard.
🏋️‍♀️Gaining muscle is HARD
Doing anything not 🎾is hard.
Eliminating unhelpful habits is hard… (Like piddling, procrastination and rationalization).

If I want a fit body, I must DO these hard things when I absolutely don’t “feel” like it.

Goal: to improve strength, vitality, flexibility, energy, stamina and cognitive function to enjoy my family and loved ones to my fullest… Basically to “Live long die short”. (There’s a book with that title)…

Starting 3/4: First Helpful Habit
🚶‍♀️🙆‍♀️🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️ BEFORE morning☕️!!! (Pending weather). If ☔️, will conquer at first opportunity.
(This is somewhat of a copout because if ☔️I could jump in my car and go to the gym, but I’m not ready to commit to that yet!). Morning coffee with my hubby is our most special time of day. We have company till Sunday so this new habit starts Monday!

NOTE TO SELF: James Clear from Atomic Habits:

In theory, consistency is about being disciplined, determined, and unwavering.

In practice, consistency is about being adaptable. Don't have much time? Scale it down. Don't have much energy? Do the easy version. Find different ways to “show up” depending on the circumstances. Let your habits change shape to meet the demands of the day.

Adaptability is the way of consistency.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Come on! 💪🏻Lets Go! 🙌🏻

About Me & Health Journey
****************************

F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.

WOE since 7/2023: Whole Foods only. Emphasis is animal-based proteins. EGGS, Beef, pork, chicken, seafood, venison and grass-fed whey protein. I count macros & kcals - always will. (Since portion control is my issue). Keto is high-fat but I’m now leaning lower fat with leaner proteins. My mother was diagnosed with celiac’s disease in her 50’s. Following her lead, I eliminated wheat, oat, barley, and rye several years ago…. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter -an occasional Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… Of course, I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for a few days… I do enjoy berries, lemon, lime. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be a social drinker and would enjoy a good martini/scotch or Paloma at home while cooking dinner. NO MORE. Root of many evils. Primarily, the destruction of will power and the enemy of optimal choices. I’d rather venture toward my best-self. This is me. I feel terrific.

History:

I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - NEVER - no matter my weight.

Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- up to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.135/140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs in 2010. 130lbs by end of 2014.
2020 (Age 62) 130-135lbs
7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs

UGW = 129-130lbs
⬆️SMM: 100lbs +
BF% : 23%

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take serious control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 11/15/2014. Weight @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Six years!

Another 🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.

8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 10/30 - held 130lbs till 2/1/23.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much. Nutrition has always been somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was THE issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130ish determined to…. STOP the 🎢 & be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣

The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.

I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE.

As I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2022 ish … This is not true anymore.

While active with 🚶‍♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼routine was absent. Strength & balance are 💯most important now. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️‍♀️ 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus.

Cumulative Round Results
7/15/23 SW 145lbs
R231 - R 247, lost 15lbs to 130.
Avg loss 1lbs per Round. Painfully SLOW.
Jan/Feb: Ticked up to a steady 132ish. Happier@129-130.
(I was in “maintenance” for 4 to 6 weeks and it’s slowly ticked up.)

Now “Fit & Healthy” & striving to improve my body composition. Let’s go!
