Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 260

Skyleen75

@fmfdfa2020 I’m going to try that trick for restless leg. I go through bouts of it and usually will walk up and down the stairs a few times- unfortunately I often walk down to the kitchen to have a snack.

@quiltingjaine I can feel the love! Also your hubs has great hair!!!

@SheilaBoneham I garden for hours and hours and forget to eat. There’s just so much to be done and it’s so rewarding. Your clematis is beautiful!!

@deepwoodslady Jumping on the bandwagon with @musicsax and @Chapter_3 with lots of support. I think everyone here can relate to these feelings.
Being human is complicated.

We start each day new.

5/20 178.6 surprised by this as I wasn’t particularly active yesterday. DH and I took a nice boat ride up the Hudson, we were scoping out spots to watch fireworks this summer. Decided to go a bit further to dock for lunch and had the pleasant surprise of stumbling onto Troy’s River Fest. Could not have planned a better day if we had tried!!!
I ate a bunch of street food but it was all very small portions.

@SheilaBoneham I love it when you share your gardening pictures. It must be really special in person.
@musicsax Those grands are just adorable! Aren't they the very best part of life?
@quiltingjaine LOVE those pics of you and your hubby before and now. What a treasure those are! Hope you have them both framed and sitting near one another somewhere. Priceless! Best wishes for many more wonderful years together. What a horror story about your DH and those prescribed drugs. Hope you can both find a better doctor.
@fmfdfa2020 I used to do the wall sit thing before my knees couldn't take it any more. It does work! But yes, I think the secret is making those muscles tired before going to bed or when you have an episode. Walking up the stairs repeatedly is a great idea, too, as someone else said (sorry, I can't find that post now to save me!)

ROUND 260-my 30th
SW ⚖️130.2lbs

Ten day journey to continue solidifying a new identity!💃

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

Mission: Continuous improvement of daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.

Consciously shifting from “goals” to “habits” that support a new identity - to release the deep-rooted beliefs held since childhood.

Let’s Go! 💪🏻🙌🏻⚡️

R260 Habits:
✅🏋️‍♀️20 min/ day or 30 min 4x per week. RECORD DETAIL.
✅ 🙏📝 🧐60 min 5x /week (Pray, journal, and research)
✅🥩110g -120g of protein

NSVs/Journey Reflections…. 👇🏻
********************************
👇🏻Review since my first R231

1. ✅Avg. close to 10k steps per day for 8+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅Healthy Habit: 🙆‍♀️ I stretch daily and that has greatly improved my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅HH: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
4. ✅HH: Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
5. ✅HH: zero to 10g of net carbs/ day
6. ✅🥩MAD 110-120g Protein (Mostly Animal Diet-CLEAN)
7. ✅HH Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM.
8. ✅💦80oz daily
9. ✅Alcohol limited to rare occasions.

Tremendous progress since last July, but still “skinny-fat”. I want 🏋️‍♀️to become a healthy habit too. … 🏋️‍♀️20 min per day or 30 min 4x per week. I need to continue to journal📝 and to strive to ID unhelpful habits & replace with helpful ones.

Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.

In my dreams, I want to be 130 lbs with a HARD body… 😎 But let’s face it, this could be unattainable and/or unsustainable, but I’ll give it my best … It’s a 🥕! I don’t know how long it will take. Also, consuming 110g to 120g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable.

Let’s do R260 !!🙌🏻

Slept like a rock last night. 😀Groin is better but still not 💯. I’m hoping it to be well enough for 🎾tomorrow. I was able to walk five miles yesterday. A little 🏋️‍♀️. Read several hrs yesterday. Again, I recommend Atomic Habits (Clear), the Habit Mechanic (Finn) and a new release “Good Energy” by Casey Means, MD.

Cant believe 30, THIRTY rounds! I can honestly say that I’m energized again… And looking forward to digging in this round! I can also say this is the first time in my life, my entire life, feeling safe and secure on this health journey. I know in my soul this is who I am. I’m no longer the gal that has struggled with her 🎢 weight and choices her entire life…. I am a new person DAILY prioritizing health and fitness. Wow! Kinda hesitant to write that down…. But…. ONWARD! Ok ok ok, gotta see it, B E L I E VE it and work it! Let’s go! 💪🏻🏋️‍♀️🙌🏻

Pulling for all of you! Will continue enjoying coffee ☕️ with you each morning!

Good day. Interesting fact read in “Good Energy”: brisk walk 10x per day /6 min is = MORE benefits than one, one hr walk. Same for🏋️‍♀️. Called “snacking”. Will try today!

5/18 ⚖️129.6lbs
✅📝
🚫🏋️‍♀️ (only 5 min)
🚫🥩 100g
Haven’t seen 129ish since late 2023. I think it’s from inactivity & an incredible night’s sleep. Instead of one long walk, I walked four times yesterday to reach 5 miles. I enjoyed it.

🏋️‍♀️”snacking” didn’t work because of an emotional interruption… 🤬🥲 I’m determined for today to be positive. I will stay in the present moment and listen to Norman!
(DH is gone for the weekend with a handful of his high school buddies… They do this once a year… He always has a wonderful time!) Major thunderstorms today. Planning on challenging resistance band sessions & 🏋️‍♀️ throughout the day & steak tonight! [Oh, my groin is a little better, but it is still limiting my movement a great deal - can tell it’s getting better each day. ] This is the longest I’ve gone without playing tennis in at least 10 years… Hoping to LIVE and enjoy a really good day today. Come ON! 💪🏻

5/19 ⚖️129.7 lbs.
✅🏋️‍♀️
✅🥩110g
✅📝
Good things to share:
1. Yesterday I started off gung-ho and then I got caught spending too much time surfing Amazon/piddling but I was able to get in two 10-minute 🏋️‍♀️ “snacks” and a 4.5 mi walk. How? I just let the day pass by and finally after my 4 o’clock steak, I asked myself who the heck am I? And I literally responded to myself… “Fit, healthy & strong”. What would a “healthy, fit & strong” person with a groin injury do right now? … A long brisk walk! I literally embraced this new identity… It was a wild feeling! Akin to WWJD? What would HFSD?! My new inner-voice of encouragement. It was such a mind game… Going back-and-forth between slouch or HFS? While walking, I just gave myself so many affirmations. It was empowering & uplifting.
2. “White Noise” App. A friend of mine recommended this app weeks ago, and I’ve been putting it off. Several nights ago I started listening to “Rain”. For the last three nights, I have slept like a baby… Nature Sounds. There are a gazillion apps similar to this… This one’s very basic and I’ve hit a jackpot.
Unfortunately, my groin is still bothering me so I ordered a compression strap to see if it would help and I’ve started icing it several times a day… some relief. I have a tennis match scheduled for Tuesday and I’m concerned I’ll have to cancel it…
Have a disciplined day!
HFSD?😎

5/20 ⚖️ 129.8 lbs.

🚫🥩100g (just shy). Phooey.
Nice, even day. Terrific sleep. What more could I ask for? Groin making a wee-bit of progress. Icing helps. Today is my 🥩130g day. Let’s see if I can make it!

Round 260 Posts
This is my posting format….

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

Previous posts:

5/16: 220.2
/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
So I ended the last round with a nice little drop, which gives me a challenge to better it in this round. I am surprised this morning was not higher due to my mini binge last night on totally inappropriate snacks.
Today’s challenge? Rotary meeting lunch is lasagna and bread sticks. Sheesh. If I am smart, I will just have a big plate of salad.

5/17: 222.2
/logged; exercised; not enough “drank”/
There is a reason. Yes, I ate the lasagna for lunch, but not a big portion. Yes, I went to Culver’s for supper and had a Tenderloin Basket. DGS 7th birthday celebration yesterday. DS made a cake “from scratch” for the birthday.

Overall calories were maxed out, not over. But worse was the salt. And, I got up at 3:30. Couldn’t sleep……

I am smoking a pork shoulder or two this weekend. We have 16 people coming over for dinner on Sunday evening. All I can say is the weather better be good so we can expand to the outdoors. Thinking about smoking some mac’n’cheese too. I have never done that at home, but have had it at a restaurant.

5/18: 220.2
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
I need to bring water more to the top of my mind. Today we get picky about the house and yard in preparation for our dinner party tomorrow.

5/15: 219.8
SW on day before this round.


5/19: 219.4

5/20: DNW
/Nope; Yes; ?/
Big day yesterday so I didn’t pay attention to logging. Got plenty of exercise.

DW hid the bathroom scale from our guests so I couldn’t do my normal routine this morning. She is still sleeping as I write, so… just as well. I think I would be weighing everything I ate in the last 24 hours. Too much Information I know.

Off to the eye Dr. this morning. Yesterday I experienced a sudden “floater.” Still with me this morning. Kinda big, so I am having it looked at.

5/20: I think I've got a pretty good weekend pattern, allowing for some treats without overdoing it; the key will be getting back to that 124ish during the week. Weekend of good news and bad in my family; granddaughter's birthday and grandnephew's graduation; tough baseball loss for my DP (ending 4th nationally in junior college), and very bad health news for my brother, who is facing a severe health challenge.
Thank goodness for the kids, they keep us all looking at the positives...

05/16 -186.8- (Trend weight 186.0)

05/17 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)

05/18 -187.4- (Trend weight 186.2)

05/19 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) I know what I’ve done right but I also know what I’ve done wrong. Gosh, I feel the gains of the past few months in my clothes and I hate it. It feels like a huge dry forest burning out of control. I know my little buckets of water will never put it out. I’ve got to stay the course and do more. It feels like I’m overwhelmed and fighting a losing battle right now, when all I really have to do is turn on the hose and consistently put out the flames. It’s not hopeless, even if it feels like it is right now.

05/20 -188.2- (Trend weight186.5) I enjoyed the outing yesterday. It was a beautiful, hot, sunny day. I spent some time thinking about where I am going wrong these past two months and I have some ideas and unfortunate changes to make, at least while I’m going through my funk. It starts today. Feeling pretty frumpy. Goodbye Frump!

Day. Weight. Comments.

5/16 - 196.6
I’m sore this morning from weeding yesterday, but I’m headed out for more. The fun never stops!

5/17 - 196.8
Oops. Snacked last night. Will try to do better today. 😁

5/18 - 197.4
Double oops. Didn’t do better yesterday, obviously. I’ll try today.

5/19 - 197
A couple of hours weeding and transplanting in the hot sun yesterday actually reduced my appetite. Maybe I can lose my winter fat now! I thought I’d share a pic of my happy clematis. It’s beginning to look a lot like summer!

5/20 - 196.6
Wow, we jumped straight from chilly rainy to hot and humid. Flowers are happy, weeds are happier! Happy Monday, all!

Just give me 10 days RND 260
Faye, Oregon 🌲🚴🏻‍♀️🌲🚴🏻‍♀️🌲
53, 5’1”
SW 1/27/24 158.2
GW 125-130

RND 257 start 153.0 end 151.6 (-1.4)
RND 258 start 152.4 end 151.4 (+1.0) didn’t weigh on last 2 days
RND 259 start 154.0 end 154.8 (+.8)

Goal: no snacking after dinner, get calories in before 7pm, water 💦 Adding limiting flour and sugar as they make me feel 👎🏻

5/16 153.8, been working on no snacking after dinner or in between meals unless legit hungry.
5/17 153.2 busy day, didn’t post
5/18 153.8 ate out after son’s graduation and had a cocktail. Not surprised at the bump, will stay on plan today.
5/19 153.2 Didn’t stay on plan, went to a birthday party and enjoyed the pavlova, skipped the cake. Then wanted sugar, ate a milkshake with dinner. Woke up feeling frustrated with myself
5/20 152.6 Had a cleaner day of eating yesterday. Have been able to walk the last two days and so that has been good for my mind and body as it’s been a long 3.5 months with little to no activity due to my back. Got some opinions from two neurosurgeons this week and will likely go with injections first and if that doesn’t help then surgery. I don’t want surgery but am concerned that the disc bulge will not go away with injections. If removed by surgery then hopefully I’d never have that pain again. Anyone out there have bulging discs? Curious what has helped others.

@deepwoodslady @fmfdfa2020 @musicsax @Sweetzyd THANK YOU! One of our granddaughters shared the photo from 1969 on Facebook - I had forgotten about it. The 2019 photo is hanging in our living room. I’m surprised I hadn’t noticed the similarity before! @Skyleen75 Great hair but a lot less of it! 😉

@musicsax I love your littles! Do they live close to each other so they will grow up together?

@Welcome JPBeastfield

@SheilaBoneham I love clematis, we had it around our yard light in Illinois. I wish we could get anything to grow in Nevada.

@judefit1 After those huggable littles pass through those tween years they again become huggable! At least that is my experience! Just keep loving them! Sending prayers and positive thoughts for your family.
