05/31 -181.8- (Trend weight185.5) I usually don’t weigh on Fridays but I went to bed early putting at least 6 hours between last food of the night and weigh-in for the morning so I stepped on it. Pleased with the progress. Gotta stay strong. May definitely ended better than I thought it would I am currently babysitting DGS as usual, but this week he has strep throat and pink-eye. Pink eye is going around the elementary side of the school (again!). Oh Joy!
06/01 -182.4- (Trend weight185.3) A bit of an increase today. It’s probably leveling out from all the drops lately (nearly 6 lbs in 3 days!) So I’m okay with this but would love to see some more progress start back up by the start of the new week. I’m babysitting pink-eye grandson today while his mom runs errands as he can’t be taken anywhere right now. I would love to travel later to reach an Aldi’s. That would mean a bit of a trip and dinner out but I really want to re-stock my goat cheese. They sell a 6 oz goat cheese log rolled in cranberry and cinnamon which is divine! It makes a nice little snack for me one ounce at a time. I ran out and really missed my ounce last night. If I don’t go today due to babysitting, then maybe I’ll go tomorrow. It’s warm and beautiful out today. My skin is craving the Vitamin D. Enjoy your Saturday everyone!

Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later. Hopefully sooner! Looks like it going to be later....
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!
And again we go....totally missed round 260, time and effort (in the kitchen) just got away from me. Here's something else I need to remember.
“lose weight in the kitchen, get fit in the gym”
This is actually a book that I will look into. I am killing the gym part and have gotten stronger. The kitchen... I've been working with a program that gives me 1650 calories... if I go over those 1650 calories, (and I do) I'm pretty much in maintenance or gaining. I need wiggle room because there's aways something. I'm going to do some math and have another "base" goal, leaving wiggle room so that I remain under 1650 no matter what.
But... all or none mentality also... I have lots of "stuff" going on this weekend so I don't expect to follow plan until 5/28.
Goals this round:
Goal/Current State
- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget 🍎- Ended round 257 very well
- Macros - hit Protein ✅ - Doing Well
- Water - 64oz minimum > trying hard for 80💧 Hit 80 a few times and rarely below 64oz
- Closing my rings M-F🚶🏽 -Excellent

5/28 222.2 Ha... crazy weekend with birthday celebrations. Now it is time to make a change. I'm going back to IF 16:8 Sun - Mon and 20-4 Fri into Sat (it worked before) and a range of calories from 1250 to 1600. I will plan for 1250 but leave "wiggle" room to 1600 and continue for the next 60 days and see where I land. I will continue my exercise but with a little less intensity than what I have done for the past 6 months. I feel focused.
5/29 221.0 coming back down! My wiggle room worked yesterday. I aimed for 1250 and ended with 1628 with both protein and carbs within range! I didn't make the wisest of choices last night but I was within range and stopped eating by 9. (Goal was 8pm)
5/30 221.4
5/31 222.0 Day 1 was good, Day 2 and 3, not so much. My husband decided to go snack shopping. I come home to honey mustard pretzel, cashews, cookies... I don't even know what else. I'm really not sure what he was thinking but once again I asked him to not buy that stuff. If it's there and I see it, I will eat it. On the bright side, getting back on track with IF went well, 16 hours done easily.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 261 (my 191st). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; to lose! To be consistent and lose something; to get back into the 130s, should be able to break that 140 barrier now! Strive to have a feeding frenzy free round😊. Good luck everyone for success.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.

5/26 DNW - 10.78 miles including lots of 'dancing miles' . All exercise calories plus eaten back. Still trying to make as best choices as possible with the hotel food and only 1 adult beverage per day.
5/27 DNW - 6.53 miles yesterday, again some were 'dancing miles'. I'm afraid it became too difficult to log the hotel food today, I have up! But I don't think I went too mad, tomorrow's scale will tell, and if I'm up then it's back to the grindstone, but the weekend has been amazing, my feet kill me!! three consecutive nights in dance shoes, up dancing all nights plus an Argentine tango workshop & a tea dance this afternoon, but well worth it.
5/28 140.2 – (trend 140.1) really happy with this minimal gain after all the hotel cooked food and the few adult beverages, back to normal eating now. No structured walking, travelled from the hotel via celebrating youngest DGD 3rd birthday, so yes, I did have birthday cake 😊.
5/29 140.2 (trend 140.1) no structured walking due to the rain. Lunch out with DSs, we shared a sandwich and then a cherry scone with cream & jam. Calories over.
5/30 140.6 (trend 140.1) 8.43 miles walked, all calories + eaten back.
5/31 DNW – battery died on the scales! No structured walking, childminding little DGS. Yesterday was the end of an era, my last day childminding little Leo, previous to that it was his older brother Mason; from next week his days at nursery increase to prepare him for full time school in September, I shall miss him. Will still have them both in school holidays on Thursdays, so already looking forward to July!! Will not miss the 120 mile round trip during the winter months though!!
6/1 DNW - away in the caravan for the weekend, no scales. 10,53 miles walked, all exercise calories bar 36 eaten back.
6/2 DNW - 9.31 miles walked yesterday, ⅔ exercise calories eaten back. Travel back home this morning, siblings meal late afternoon, carvery so should be able to keep sensible!

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍5 -
Forgot to report back on the green pea pasta as asked! It was a success, couldn't actually taste the difference between normal pasta with the tinned, chopped tomato sauce & it kept its form rather than going mushy. So it's a hit! Will definitely buy it again.5

A ten-day journey to solidify this new identity! Healthy Strong Fit 💃#HSF is who I am.
F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean MAD 🥩. 🚫 processed foods. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.
Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.

Let’s Go! 💪🏻🙌🏻⚡️
R261 Habits:
✅🏋️♀️20 min/ day or 30 min 4x per week. RECORD DETAIL.
✅ 🙏📝 🧐60 min 5x /week (Pray, journal, and research)
✅🥩110g -130g 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 110-130g 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 130lbs 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, rotating 110g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable.
Let’s do R261 !!🙌🏻

DGS spent the day & night. I felt yucky all day. Still puffy. I’m going to stick with same plan/ routine as the R260 with #HSF (Healthy Strong Fit) identity/ habits … Definitely will accomplish more as groin is almost 💯 …. Remaining cautious.
Will update my info & round “habits” later today during my 📝 time. Love a fresh new start! 🍀Good luck all!

✅🏋️♀️10min 🥩130g 🚶♀️10k📝 💦. Still feeling physically & mentally out-of-sorts from the over-the-top Friday eve. The brain fog is real. Failed to update #HSF for R261. Will accomplish today.
Today: my DH cycling trip was cancelled due to the tornadoes in NW Arkansas. Such devastation… Will figure out the week with him, food prep, groceries & plan an active day/week. Glad he is home & safe.

Solid day. Gazillion errands. Watched 📺 French Open. Played 🎾 last night. 🏆(1st USTA match since mid-May).
🎾early this morn. HOPING for an extra L O N G 💤 nap. Ready for weekend routine - with gratitude & prayer.
6/1 ⚖️132.0. 🚫🚫🚫
This is top of my range. Yesterday was a do-NOTHING day. No 🎾. 💯 couch potato. Rained ALL day. Zombie. Grouch. A no-good horrible very bad day. No sleep made for the worst experience for me and those around me… Finally took one hour nap around 2pm. Went to bed @ 8:30 and slept well with an ibuprofenPM.
It’s quizzical when I can burn 1000 cal on the tennis court, walk 5mi and 🏋️♀️… 4x a week & follow nutrition plan to a T … And my body doesn’t change & the scale drops .5 in 10 days. Then, if I have a do-nothing day, the scale goes up up up in ONE day, bloated & puffy. Simply one of natures inexplicable mysteries…. Ive decided to love how God made me, and just embrace the unknowns before me.
Im looking at changing up my macros a little. May go ⬇️ fat ⬆️ protein. This would be a huge change so I’m doing more research today. (Was really, really missing my veggies yesterday…. ) but can’t go there because of the destruction to my digestive system. And, I was also dreaming of a BIG BIG bowl of rice - Hallucinations from sleep deprivation. I’ll figure it out.
I will walk this morn and 🏋️♀️. I’m still not 🏋️♀️as much as I planned/need/want. I do love a good, fresh start to a new month! And a new day! Let’s finish 💪🏻 #HSF.
✅🏋️♀️20min 🥩137g 🚶♀️9k📝 💦.
And 2 hrs of 🎾. Wonderful day yesterday but didn’t sleep last night. Will it be another do-nothing day from little sleep?!?!!!! Even listening to rain didn’t help. Let’s see…..

6/2: it's a great weekend up in CT with my brother, who is doing OK at the moment. Yesterday I picked up my sister who just had knee replacement and we went to my DGD's dance recital- so cute! Long day, but good, lots of family time and laughter. Today I'll help them in their amazing gardens, weeding, sorting and prepping for summer. Gorgeous weather!11 -
I'm Crystal! I am still aiming for 1260 calories/day, around 100 carbs or less, low sugar and high protein. Plan to exercise daily when I'm not away.

RND 261 Home from vacation and not tracking for almost a week. Was nice but I'm looking forward to getting back to tracking, eating healthy and getting the weight back off.5/26 DNW5/31 167.8 Forgot to post yesterday- Need to really step up if I want to lose this last bit of weight. Feeling like my body is holding on to water. Didn't drink a lot of water yesterday though so making sure to do that today. Busy day but I was able to get a short walk. My oldest boy got his braces on and he looks too cute.
5/27 169.5 This number isn't as bad as I expected. I did do a lot of walking while we were at the beach but there was also alcohol, pizza and junk food involved. While vacation at the beach is always amazing, I'm glad to be back and to get on a routine.
5/28 167.3 😄 Great day yesterday. I did have pasta last night so I didn't expect the bigger drop, but I also peed allll day.
5/29 167.5 Ate a bag of microwave popcorn with extra salt last night watching a movie with the kids. Should have skipped the popcorn but oh well. We are supposed to take the boat out to the lake and go fishing this afternoon. Hubby worked last night and came home this morning not feeling well, so we shall see what he feels like when he wakes up.
5/30 DNW- drank a cup of coffee and glass of water before I thought about weighing. We had a good day on the lake yesterday. Stayed in my daily goals except for exercise.
6/1 166.9 Back down to my start weight from last round. Not sure how accurate it is because I slept late this morning. Feeling better today in my stomach area so maybe!
6/2 166.9 Can't believe this year is halfway over. Yesterday was good. I skipped lunch because we were out and about (I never eat breakfast)..was real hungry at dinner lol, so I made up for it 😆. Still under on calories though, and was able to walk. Been trying to encourage my daughter to exercise and start eating healthier. She'll be 15 this month and shes over 200 lbs, 5'3. She has gained a lot of weight just in the last year and I know she is self conscious about it, although she doesn't say. It's hard to deal with because I don't want to upset her, but I also know me not doing anything about it is hurting her more (My husband is opposite, he could care less about hurting feelings). So I told her that if she walks with me without giving me trouble, I'd take her to let her get some stuff from dollar tree on Fridays. Thankfully for me it's cheap, but she loves getting makeup and other things in there lol.

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

Comments pertain to previous day
SW RND 261 133.5
5/26 133.0 Great Greek yesterday with local grand children (all in their 20’s except DGGS) since their mom and dad are in the Bahamas for a well deserved vacation. Today a housewarming at the new home of our blind friend and his daughter. Tomorrow a Memorial Day community picnic.
5/27 134.0 I’m fine with that. Memorial Day community picnic this evening. Pulled pork(?) in SUPER SWEET sauce, “salad” was iceberg lettuce. All in all it was a pretty disappointing meal. Two adult beverages.
5/28 135.0 OOPS! I seem to have not posted.
5/29 134.5 Getting eating under control again.
5/30 134.0
5/31 133.0 Finally got my nails done. Took Oskar to the vet. Doing labs to see if his diet needs to change. He weighed 16# in late October and was 14.8# yesterday in spite of eating double portions or more for the last 2 months.
6/1 134.0 Yesterday was our last community Arts & Crafts gathering until autumn. We had a Tea with many goodies and I am weak. A week from today is an ice cream social. I need to develop a backbone!
6/2 134.0 Great Greek today.
SIDE NOTE: DGD and DGGS were at the park yesterday and helped an elderly man who had locked his keys, phone and dog in the car. Outside temperature was 103F. Fire department was called and all was well. DGGS is now a Junior Firefighter for his part in the rescue.

Pizza. Nuf said. I’m sure the salt & water weight will come right back off.

A little better. I went out for my usual Monday breakfast with friend and stuck to scrambled eggs and 2 strips of bacon while she indulged in one of the huge breakfast combos. Pleased with myself. 😊

It sure goes on more easily than it comes off!

I’m not doing well at all with the no food after 7 thing, but I am eating more veggies and protein. I guess it’s a draw for now. I stayed up wayyyyy too late last night reading. I may need an afternoon nap before noon. 🤣

EW RND 260 221.6
Goals for this round:
1. Drink at least 90 oz of water a day
2. Close my rings
3. Log my food
5/26 219.6 I’m not expecting a 2lb drop to hold, but considering I gained weight at the start of the last round, I’ll take this even if it is just for a day.
5/27 218.2 went most of the day without eating any protein and found myself getting hungry faster. Fortunately we were out most of the day, so snacking wasn’t an option. While I enjoyed what I ate, I definitely understand the benefits of higher protein!
5/28 221.0 given how much I ate yesterday, I’m surprised this isn’t higher. The day started really well and ended not so great as I found myself feeling hungry a lot and rather than finding something to do or drinking water, I ate. I’ll be back on track today and hopefully see this drop back down quickly.
5/29 219.4
5/30 218.4
5/31 DNW Woke up with a migraine and feeling super bloated. Skipping the scale today because l know it won’t be accurate and I don’t want the let down of seeing it back up again. Going to drink lots of water today and keep on track with food.
6/1 217.8 I’m glad I skipped the weigh in yesterday because today’s weight feels more realistic. Migraine and bloating are gone and bloating is gone. Ready for a great weekend!
6/2 218.4 Up a little, but given the fact we went to the bar for fight night and I had late night chips and queso, I’m okay with this. I’m actually happy that I was able to keep myself from eating too much and I didn’t feel like I was giving up a good night out because I was “dieting.”

179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170 👉 169
Goal: Calorie Cycle for a weekly average between 1200 - 1500. Eat more vegetables and fruit. Drink 80oz water each day. Walk. Start building strength back using light weights.
Previous Comments5/26 - 178.0 - Up a little today.
5/27 - 178.8 - This is most likely salt and not enough water.
5/28 - 178.4 - I'm a salt freak. My husband even told me one day, can you just tap the salt instead of wildly shaking it and adding so much, not to mention it's all over everything.
So, I started tapping - huh, it does help to use less and no more mess. LOL. He literally only eats added salt on boiled eggs. That's it. And the only process food he eats, which does have salt, is tortilla chips. My mom, too, I couldn't believe she could eat a potato without salt For me, it's partly habit, too. I even eat it on watermelon, oranges, apples, in oatmeal - I really can't think of anything I don't add salt to except sweets. My husband and mom have shown me it can be done. So, I try again today. I'm starting with putting 1 tsp of salt in a baggie and only using it for the day. I'll reduce this down over the next weeks. I also probably need to buy unsalted butter. One thing at a time - I don't want to go too far out on a limb LOL. I need to experiment with spices more and use lemon. I think I would have done better over the years if I had high blood pressure, but my blood pressure is very low, but that doesn't mean it couldn't jump up as I'm aging. I look very forward to seeing what changes I see due to less salt.
(editing to say I knocked on wood after the high blood pressure comment. I know many people (my mom did, too) struggle with this and I'm very lucky, but it doesn't mean that luck will continue if I don't change my habits!)
5/29 177.4 - I kept my salt intake to 1 1/4 tsp salt. I'm happy with that! Will keep it at 1tsp today, and I only drank 40oz of water. I'll get 80oz today.
@Skyleen75 - Thanks for your comments about your husband's salt habits. Very funny. I hope you feel better. Going from your headcold to a colonoscopy - yike! If you don't mind me asking - What is "market" night? Re: "It is also market night so a busy day for me. I am a firm believer in fake it til you make it!!!"
Editing with this that I just read:
Extra sodium causes you to lose more calcium in your urine. Sodium and calcium share the same transport in the kidney so if you eat high sodium foods it will increase calcium leakage in the urine. Therefore, a high sodium diet can increase your chances for developing another stone.
I have had many kidney stones (and analyzed as a calcium). My bad habits are catching up with me since I'm getting older, and I can tell it is just harder to recover. It's never too late to change!!
5/30 - 176.4 - Finally, I'm back to where I was before I decided to eat a ton of pecans in 2 days, and I slacked off a little in other areas too. I only had 1 tsp salt yesterday. It wasn't that hard to keep my salt to 1 tsp because a lot of shaking the salt shaker is habit, and having to be mindful to take some out of a baggie helped. I'll cut back further in a week.

5/27 - 178.8
5/28 - 178.4
5/29 - 177.4
5/30 - 176.4
5/31 - 176.4
6/01 - 176.6 I'm very glad to be solidly 176.x and not jumping back up.
6/02 - DNW - I didn't sleep more than 2 hours last night. I finally got up around 2a. I ate around 6:30a, and went back to bed around 7:30a, and didn't get up until 10:30a. I say all this because there was no way I was going to weigh knowing that it was not going to be an accurate reading, even if it was down 2 pounds, I wouldn't put it down. Hopefully tonight will be better!

05/31 -181.8- (Trend weight185.5)
06/01 -182.4- (Trend weight185.3) A bit of an increase today. It’s probably leveling out from all the drops lately (nearly 6 lbs in 3 days!) So I’m okay with this but would love to see some more progress start back up by the start of the new week. I’m babysitting pink-eye grandson today while his mom runs errands as he can’t be taken anywhere right now. I would love to travel later to reach an Aldi’s. That would mean a bit of a trip and dinner out but I really want to re-stock my goat cheese. They sell a 6 oz goat cheese log rolled in cranberry and cinnamon which is divine! It makes a nice little snack for me one ounce at a time. I ran out and really missed my ounce last night. If I don’t go today due to babysitting, then maybe I’ll go tomorrow. It’s warm and beautiful out today. My skin is craving the Vitamin D. Enjoy your Saturday everyone!
06/02 -183.4- (Trend weight185.2) I feel you @SheilaBoneham . I had another one of my “becoming-too-common” snack fests last night. While I stuck mainly to my “approved snacks”, it still put me over on cals, carbs and every macro. I realized later that I had not even really been hungry. I think it was more habit than anything. I have been doing great at sticking to my pre-logged meals that are all within plan and bound to show results. And then comes that evening self-sabotage. I’ve tried everything I can think of including making my final meal so late that I’ve even eaten at 10 or 11 pm all to no avail. Those snacks are going to come afterward, usually about an hour later, no matter what! I have even woke up from a hard sleep to go potty and found my snacks and ate them half-asleep. It’s time for me to research what I can do about this habitual habit that has become much more than annoying. It reminds me of my hand-to-mouth habit I had to break when I quit smoking 17 years ago. That’s when I gained nearly 90 pounds and this whole mess began! Another pound up today. I didn’t go out of town yesterday or today. I didn’t need a restaurant meal so close to that snacking fest. It will have to wait.

@quiltingjaine Love the rescue story with a happy ending! DGGS is adorbs and has a wonderful lifetime memory!
@deepwoodslady
Ive been working on changing habits for a few months now. I highly recommend “Atomic Habits” by James Clear and “The Habit Mechanic” by Dr. Jon Finn. Different approaches to the same topic. It’s hard work. Really hard. But necessary. First step is identifying “unhelpful habits”, and replacing with “healthy habits”. I have a long way to go.
It’s a journey to make one better habit at a time…. Starts with one “better” decision at a time.7 -

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 110-130g 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 130lbs 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, rotating 110g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable.
Let’s do R261 !!🙌🏻
Todays ⚖️/ Yesterday’s #HSF & Reflections
*Previous*
*********************************5/26 ⚖️131.8lbs
✅🏋️♀️15min 🥩130g 🚶♀️14k📝 🚫💦.
DGS spent the day & night. I felt yucky all day. Still puffy. I’m going to stick with same plan/ routine as the R260 with #HSF (Healthy Strong Fit) identity/ habits … Definitely will accomplish more as groin is almost 💯 …. Remaining cautious.
Will update my info & round “habits” later today during my 📝 time. Love a fresh new start! 🍀Good luck all!
5/27 ⚖️131.2 lbs
✅🏋️♀️10min 🥩130g 🚶♀️10k📝 💦. Still feeling physically & mentally out-of-sorts from the over-the-top Friday eve. The brain fog is real. Failed to update #HSF for R261. Will accomplish today.
Today: my DH cycling trip was cancelled due to the tornadoes in NW Arkansas. Such devastation… Will figure out the week with him, food prep, groceries & plan an active day/week. Glad he is home & safe.
5/28⚖️130.0lbs
✅🏋️♀️10min 🥩119g 🚶♀️8k📝💦. Can only attribute ⚖️to nine hours of sleep and body finally processing Fri night.
🎾today and will finally reflect on round habits.
5/29 130.0lbs.
✅🏋️♀️15min 🥩117g 🚶♀️10k📝💦. My brain & body finally back all the way to “baseline”. No brain fog. No dragging. Wow, recovery took four entire days. But… slept only 5 hrs last night.
NSV: My body craves routine & that’s what I’m going to her!
Today: 🎾 & 🏋️♀️. Will fight the mental tug-o-war!
5/30 ⚖️ 130.5
✅🏋️♀️10min 🥩107g 🚶♀️8k📝💦.
Exhausted myself from the heat of 2 hrs of 🎾 which wiped me out for the rest of the day... Groin still not 💯but manageable. This round is flying by!
5/31 DNW
Up @ 2AM 🙁😬🙄
✅🏋️♀️20min ! 🥩🚫92g
✅🚶♀️10k📝💦
Solid day. Gazillion errands. Watched 📺 French Open. Played 🎾 last night. 🏆(1st USTA match since mid-May).
🎾early this morn. HOPING for an extra L O N G 💤 nap. Ready for weekend routine - with gratitude & prayer.
6/1 ⚖️132.0. 🚫🚫🚫
This is top of my range. Yesterday was a do-NOTHING day. No 🎾. 💯 couch potato. Rained ALL day. Zombie. Grouch. A no-good horrible very bad day. No sleep made for the worst experience for me and those around me… Finally took one hour nap around 2pm. Went to bed @ 8:30 and slept well with an ibuprofenPM.
It’s quizzical when I can burn 1000 cal on the tennis court, walk 5mi and 🏋️♀️… 4x a week & follow nutrition plan to a T … And my body doesn’t change & the scale drops .5 in 10 days. Then, if I have a do-nothing day, the scale goes up up up in ONE day, bloated & puffy. Simply one of natures inexplicable mysteries…. Ive decided to love how God made me, and just embrace the unknowns before me.
Im looking at changing up my macros a little. May go ⬇️ fat ⬆️ protein. This would be a huge change so I’m doing more research today. (Was really, really missing my veggies yesterday…. ) but can’t go there because of the destruction to my digestive system. And, I was also dreaming of a BIG BIG bowl of rice - Hallucinations from sleep deprivation. I’ll figure it out.
I will walk this morn and 🏋️♀️. I’m still not 🏋️♀️as much as I planned/need/want. I do love a good, fresh start to a new month! And a new day! Let’s finish 💪🏻 #HSF.
6/2 ⚖️ DNW. (no sleep again)
✅🏋️♀️20min 🥩137g 🚶♀️9k📝 💦.
And 2 hrs of 🎾. Wonderful day yesterday but didn’t sleep last night. Will it be another do-nothing day from little sleep?!?!!!! Even listening to rain didn’t help. Let’s see…..
6/3⚖️131.3
🚫🏋️♀️ 🥩98g ✅🚶♀️10k📝 💦.
I tried to be as positive as I could - lack of sleep is hard. I was able to take a one hour nap, but I was primarily inactive for the day, except for three short walks. I could at least drink lots of water, and so I did that! Last night I slept better but still up @3:30.
NSV: A year ago I never would’ve gotten out of the house at all… It rained most of the day, so I timed it…. I actually forced myself to get up and go for a walk and hit 10k. I give myself an A+ for WILL power yesterday to register 10k.
Today will get better! I’m determined.

Why isn’t there a delete button? Y’all have a great day!

@Sweetzyd Sigh, I can relate to your daughter. I was around 200lbs for most of my teens.
I do see a certain level of body acceptance in the younger generations that didn’t exist 30 years ago. But that doesn’t mean the personal struggle of being an over weight teen has gotten any easier. I wish it was different.
All you can do is love and support which is what you are doing!!! Encouragement and bribery are totally fine in my book.
It is heartbreaking to watch your child struggle and not just be able to “fix” it.7
