    4/15 R256 EW 131.2lbs.

    4/16 131.5 ✅ Solid day. Commitments = 💪🏻 HM& 📿
    🎾 3hrs🚶‍♀️11k 🏋️‍♀️
    NSV- Used positive choices & 📝 to get myself out of the dump. Looking forward to today.

    4/17 130.4 ✅ I’ll take the unexpected ⬇️…
    Yesterday:🏋️‍♀️15 min 📿350 jumps 🎾 2 hrs 20 min,🚶‍♀️11k , protein ✅ Solid day but woke up @ 3:55am. My sleep isn’t cooperating. Lost my temper HUGE yesterday over minuscule stuff. Here I am thinking I’m dealing well, but I’m not realizing how much it’s impacting me…
    📝 30 min.
    Up @ 4:25 this morn. 🎾again then prepping for work Thurs morn…. then off to State 🎾tournament - starts Friday 7:30AM. Food planned!! Will sleep better tonight.

    NSV: I’m amazed at how often I’m checking my thoughts & changing them. Even though I lost my temper, I was quick to understand why and apologize. Drank more 💦 and went for a walk. 📿 rope. Ate only to fuel my body yesterday.

    4/18 130.9
    ✅🎾🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️🤸🏼📿 macros
    Solid day! Food=Fuel. Up to 450 jumps on the 📿. I think I can do more it’s just boring….
    Today: Up @ 4:45. Work, then prepping for 🎾tournament tomorrow. Have been drinking+ 💦. Food for tournament is planned and no alcohol.

    NSV: Clarification: when I write food = fuel, that means that food is a necessity- no fixation. I eat when hungry, and it’s somewhat mundane/boring. I’m that person that doesn’t mind eating the same thing three days in a row… ex: super dry chicken breast 🤩 Eating is simple. Little to no variety.

    4/19 131.0 lbs - Up at 3AM 👀
    STATE 🎾 TODAY!

    WOE & Health Journey
    ****************************

    WOE since 7/2023: MAD: (Mostly Animal Diet) Whole Foods. No processed foods. 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 leaner animal proteins with lower fat than Keto. I thought I was “KETOVORE” but I’ve been told I am “MAD”.

    I had paralyzing IBS for 20+ years. My mother was diagnosed with celiac’s disease in her 50’s. Following her lead, I eliminated wheat, oat, barley, and rye in 2015 …. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter - an occasional high protein Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for several days… I do enjoy berries, lemons, limes. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece(s) of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be somewhat of a weekend 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 journey toward my best-self. I haven’t given up alcohol completely, but I enjoy it sparingly on special occasions. This is me. I finally feel terrific.

    History:
    I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since at least 9th grade. I have never been comfortable with my body - NEVER EVER- no matter my weight.

    Pre- college: 125-130lbs
    College- up to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
    Many MANY different diets each decade!
    1990 (Age 32) - Avg.130-140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
    2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
    Menopause - Age 50
    2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs 2014 (Age 56) 130lbs
    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!

    2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140lbs. 🎢🎢🎢 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. My 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 - to enjoy my “Senior” years to my fullest.

    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. I want healthy/fit choices to be my first nature.

    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 & slowly ticked up.)
    130.0 on 3/26/24. 131.2 4/15.

    @UTMom81 Planet Fitness participates in Silver Sneakers and is only about 3 miles away but I’m so lazy I don’t even want to drive there. I paid for the black card so I could use the massage beds. Kind of irritated me that they continued to charge even though they were closed during the pandemic.

    1st round for me
    Total so far this round: (-1.2)

    4/15 153.0
    4/16 152.6
    Ate out for lunch and take out dinner, went about 200 over calories goal and didn't eat as many veggies as I prefer. Will make a meal plan for the week today and include more veggies.
    4/17 151.8
    stayed within calories, ate more vegetables, still need to work on more water 💦, did not make a meal plan for the week so doing that this morning
    4/18 152.2
    I feel better with no dairy and gluten. I’ve been on a modified bed rest for 3 weeks due to various issues in the L4-L5-S1 of my spine, waiting to see specialists. A friend brought dinner over and I ate gluten and dairy, weight and inflammation are up. No surprise.
    4/19 151.2
    A more normal eating day yesterday, hopefully posting this will remind me to keep up with my water intake

    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

    Comments pertain to previous day

    SW RND 257 134.5
    4/16 134.0 Finally dropped a bit and DH set up dinner date at Golden Corral 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I have a plan since we are going later so friends can get butterfly shrimp. I will get salad and steak and see what good veggies they have. I can do this! OY! This morning has been a mess. Now to finish reading today’s posts.
    4/17 136.5 I only ate one meal yesterday. That was at GC. I really didn’t eat a lot of food but it was high carb-breaded shrimp and Nashville Chicken Bites, sugar free vanilla cake and the blueberry filling from a slice of SF blueberry pie, at a 2” square of real crust from “apple cobbler.” I also drank a lot of water after we got home. I feel bloated-something I don’t experience often. Optometrist today so I can replace the glasses that broke when I fell in Ensenada. Tonight is community bingo with pizza for dinner.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
    4/18 138.5 The thick crust pizza was cold be the time it was served so I couldn’t even pry the toppings lose to throw the crust away. This is turning into a stellar week🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️I’m having my BP coffee and pondering my plan. On the upside-It’s great of the scale to let me know it’s working by showing increases.🤪😂
    4/19 136.5 Liquid fast yesterday
