06/29 -DNW- (Trend weight – DNW - )
06/30 -187.0- (Trend weight186.6) I think I typed my trend weight wrong on my other challenges but I’ve got it correct here. The other challenges have shown me that I gained 5.2 lbs in the month of June. Not shocked. While I can rattle off every excuse that is actually true (diabetes, thyroid, hormone suppressing cancer medication, heart condition limiting exertion on exercise, age, blah, blah blah) there are two things I know for sure. 1. Even if my exercise is different from what others can do, I absolutely could have done more of my own. 2. Even if my metabolism does not work like other healthier people’s, I could certainly have eaten better and eaten less. I have to remind myself that I am trying to lose 106 to 108 pounds from my original weight of 253. That’s a long and difficult process but it is possible and I am just the gal to do it! About 66 down and about 40 to go. Thanks for letting me share my pep talk to myself. Hopefully it helps others too.
07/01 -187.0- (Trend weight186.6) No change but I’m actually grateful for that. Foodie daughter (size triple zero) who eats constantly brought me in an Oreo McFlurry and had them add chocolate syrup on top. It was good (I’ve never had a McFlurry before) but not worth the ruination of my entire day. Otherwise my diet went well but my exercise was non-existent. I’ve already woke up this morning and did a Leslie Sansone video to ensure that zero exercise will not happen again today. I can’t be lazy 2 days in a row! I’m happy to see the scale stayed the same in light of the McFlurry. Hopefully it won’t show up tomorrow or in the coming days. I’ll continue to pre-log today. No special plans except to stick to my diet plan. Tomorrow I will be going to a small local car show with friends with a plan to have a hamburger from the grill while there. I’ll work it into my calories/carbs and macros somehow. I may also have a beer but just one since I'll be driving.

6/25 134.5 🤷♀️ I think I’m stressed about dental work tomorrow. Didn’t sleep well last night.
6/26 134.5 Had Mexican yesterday but only ate a handful of chips and half of my chimichanga. I have developed a serious case of nerves about today’s dental appointment. Prayers would be greatly appreciated.
6/27 134.5 ⭐️Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Anti-anxiety medicine helped too but I was more than a little loopy.
6/28 135.0 Golden Corral last night and an adult beverage after. I seem to have skipped yesterday altogether. Again, thank you for your prayers.
6/29 134.5
6/30 134.0 Ate a little BBQ yesterday. I actually went to the gym when DH took his car for an oil change. I’m not super aggressive at the gym but riding the bike is much easier on my back! I don’t go at breakneck speed but “rode” for over 3 miles. Unrelated, since my dental appointment my night guard hasn’t fit so going without I realized that I haven’t awakened with a headache. Well that theory bit the dust this morning as I woke at 4:57 with a doozer h/a! Took my Fosamax and waited an hour to take aspirin. Headache has resolved.
7/1 133.5 Going to the gym today instead of water fitness. 89 degrees at 6:30AM.6 -

Vacation starts on the 3rd!! A couple of months ago I set a goal to be between 205-203 lbs by the time we went on vacation. I’m very near that goal and would love to hit it, but realistically I don’t know if I can. I’m going to stay consistent and focus on life changes not short term wins.

6/26 210.6 Not surprised by this. Had a craving for late night ice cream and didn’t hit my water goal for the day. Pretty sure there’s some hormonal water retention too.
6/27 210.6
6/28 210.4 just waiting to drop water weight. I’ve made sure to drink plenty, log my food and stay at or below calories/macros/etc. My activity is same as before. I know why the weight is slow and I’m just working on staying consistent until my body catches up. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
6/29 DNW didn’t meet my water intake and indulged in the most delicious bbq followed by a triple chocolate molten brownie with vanilla bean ice cream. No need to check the scale to know the number will be up. It’s okay though. Today’s a busy day of getting ready for vacation, which means lots of activity, water, and not a lot of heavy food.
6/30 210.8
7/1 211.2 I’m feeling very heavy with water retention today and I don’t like it. It’s hard to believe a couple of months ago this was just the way I existed. My joints hurt and I feel…yuck. I’m ready for the excess water to evacuate.

7/01 - - I'm still dealing with TOM. Hoping this is like a little reset for my body. Between submitting my weekly check in yesterday and texting my coach to chat about my situation, she said she's going to give me a link to a reliable way to get my hormone panel from home (never had one done) as well as increasing my macros to ensure we aren't stressing my body with how active I actually am vs how low my macros are. I haven't gotten that update from her yet, but sometime today I will. BF just got back from the doc - his bicep went from a partial tear to a full tear so he's going to have surgery. The kids are gone for 2 weeks (wedding so mom and him made a deal - we get the both weeks over Christmas rather than just 1 week to make up for the extra week she has them this summer) and then he's got to go pick them up. Then, we have First Responder's day which we already RSVP'ed for on the 16th for a Golf Tournament (Stepson and BF will go, SD and I will sit by the pool and relax) so he's hoping to have it after that. Doc said in July, though. Guess I'll be solo at the gym for awhile. It's always hard to get up and go when BF is still asleep. I get very jealous at 430am haha! Speaking of, I went solo today for leg day and increased on everything. I felt so dang good so TOM isn't impacting me in the fatigue/weakness like a normal one. I can't wait to see what I can do with increased fuel
7/02
7/03
7/04
My ramblings on the TOM situationI assumed that since TOM was so awful in May, my body went very light in June. I think, instead, due to stress, TOM didn't fully happen. I got the PMS, but not the full cleaning out/bleeding (I was spotty at best). Now I've been working on stress management (and the stress of people has lessened now that vacation is over) and my body is finally doing the cleaning out part. I have no other symptoms. It's like the cramps, bloating, headaches, fatigue were all the week of the 10th/11th and the bleed itself (with a little scale uptick but no noticeable bloat) is this weekend. I'm wondering how this will play out going forward. I suppose I'll just need to be mindful/careful and be sure I'm prepared for an unexpected visitor until things settle into routine again.
Previous Day's Comments6/25 - A bit of a drop off since I've been behaving and hitting my macros these last couple of days. I'm still on my lowest macros. I think she's keeping me here since I didn't quite get to track/control much of the food on vacation. I also didn't do any dedicated workouts but I definitely got a loooot of movement being at the beach and fishing! Back into routine now - morning workouts and tracking macros. All set for today and already began pre-planning tomorrow to ensure I keep up the good work!
6/26 - I'm up a tad but I'm feeling leaner and looking a bit leaner in the mirror so I'll take it. I was slightly above macros (about 12g over carbs so 2g over my buffer window) but that was aimed at reaching my fiber goal due to missing my snack (work meeting ran from lunch to dinner with no chance to grab my snack so I had to improvise an after dinner snack). I didn't meet my step goal, either. Today I am focused on getting both in today. BF's shoulder took at turn for the worst - surgeon said no gym (even legs) until he can be seen. Fortunately, that's Monday and we don't have to wait terribly long to know what's going on. Hopefully not a surgery but I'm starting to think that's what's best otherwise it'll keep dragging out. SD and I will be going solo tomorrow and possibly Friday (she and her brother go back to their mom's for the 4th of July week on Friday so unsure if she'll go to the gym) and I'm solo for at least Monday pending doc's further instructions for BF. I hope my willpower is enough to get me up and moving!
6/27 - DOMS? I have no idea. I'm feeling and looking as lean as I was yesterday and yesterday I felt and looked leaner than I did on Tuesday. No clue. BF ended up going to the gym despite the surgeon's orders and has been very lackadaisical about it all. I'm not going to feel so bad if he keeps going against the doc's orders and ends up needing surgery/a large length of time off the gym. He's putting himself at a higher chance of surgery/long recovery away from gym because he doesn't want to skip a couple days - he wants to look big and strong...ugh. I'm very frustrated with him. Not only for doing this to himself (SD and I tried to talk sense into him with no success) but also he ruined my workout this morning because he made me stop when he stopped due to pain... like..I'm not injured, let me finish my dang workout! I did get movement in and I did my best with what I was given but I'm definitely frustrated. At least tomorrow he won't be going due to him driving to take the kids back to their mom's for the week, but if he does, we do separate workouts Mondays and Fridays. Anyway.....rant over. I've got my meals planned for the day and all fits in macros. I'm ready for them to increase, my recovery is awful right now - I'm still very sore from Monday's leg day!
6/28 - DNP
6/29 - Well... TOM arrived unexpectedly. More on that below if you care/are curious. That explains the uptick followed by the sudden drop. Not much to report on. SD and I went to the gym yesterday before BF took them back. He's at his dad's now so I have a second night solo. I'm okay with that, it's quiet and calm and I honestly need the excuse to slow down a little. Groceries this morning so I could get that out of the way - all my errands and tasks are done other than making dinner tonight. Thinking of taking the dogs tomorrow morning, early, to the river to walk before it gets horribly hot out. Will see how we feel and how early I wake up naturally. No alarms for me! Meals are all planned out based on macro goal through Monday night. I'll know if there's any changes to my macros on Monday before lunch so I can adjust from there. Definitely easier to fit things in if I have everything pre-logged rather than frantically trying to do so before I eat breakfast. Breakfast and snacks are my variables, lunches and dinners I try to have already planned out and input so I have less to mess up. I'm off to go relax and read a book!

I'm Jen, 40 years old from Florida, married, retired mom with 3 kids, 4 dogs, and chickens.
Recommitting to weight loss, and just setting a daily track food & steps goal (good or bad) for now. Trying to limit fast food, and up my activity level (have lots of house cleaning to do and yard work to catch up on, now that i'm not sitting in front of a computer for 10+ hours per day...)
HW: 285
6/30: 251.8 - Round 264 SW
7/1: 250.8 - was very active yesterday, mostly shopping and playing with the kiddies. 4,056 steps & way over calories for today (had fast food for all 3 meals.. yikes) ... will definitely show up on the scale over the next day or two...

RND 264 (my 12th)
SW (first round) 155.8
SW (this round) 148.1
6/24 - 148.7 - walked 2 miles this morning. Still not sure how my foot is coping with its new freedom from the boot. While walking it felt great. After walking it felt great. Later in the day I had a lot of aching pain on the ball of my foot - but that is not where the injury was so I was confused about the source of the pain. Thinking that maybe it is just my foot adjusting back to walking “normally” again. By the end of the day, there was no more pain. Fingers crossed it stays that way and I can walk again tomorrow morning.
6/25 - 148.3 - storms this morning so no walk. Busy stressful day of working late so no evening workout either. Stress ate cookies I did not need - but they were delicious
6/26 - 147.8
6/27 - 147.9
6/28 - 149.0 - not a stellar start to my challenge attendance - having skipped two days without posting - and now posting on the day I gained rather than lost 🙁. Had a “team fun” get together at my house last night - I did not eat a lot but it was all very salty (they brought the snacks and I supplied the beverages) so the gain does not surprise me. Also TOM is going to start within the next few hours so there is that too. I have not done a good job with drinking water today to help flush it out and I am about to indulge in yet more salty food. I am not in a good place to make good decisions and my 14 y/o daughter has requested her favorite pizza for dinner. My 17 y/o is gone for the weekend at a youth conference, so I told my younger girl that since she is an only child tonight, she could pick whatever she wanted for dinner. Of course she picked pizza. Work has been stressful all week. I am exhausted and I am extremely hungry - I’ve been so busy today I have barely eaten. None of these things will help me keep my eating of salty, greasy, pizza in check… but… I am going to try and I am hoping to have just typed this…being aware of the treacherous situation I am walking into…and admitting “out loud” that I am likely to over-indulge - that it will help me stay in line - at least a little bit.
6/29 - 148.7 - not sure how the scale moved that way given the stress fueled feast I indulged in last night… committed to staying on track today. Drinking lots of water and making healthy food choices.
6/30 - 150.2 - the gain I deserve given how bad I have been about food choices and logging. The past two days have been a complete disaster.
I need to figure out how to overcome what has become a recurring story. As TOM approaches - usually about 8-9 days out, the hormonal stress begins to take its toll. I don’t sleep well, I feel constantly fatigued, and I lose all motivation. Even when I don’t do anything at all, every metabolic metric on my watch reads like I have been doing daily intense workouts without any recovery. I never know whether to push through and workout anyway or if my body is already stressed (too stressed) enough and that adding additional stress will only make it worse.
Sometimes “pushing through” feels like running a marathon even though I am doing nothing close to that hard. I try to “listen to my body” but I don’t like what it is telling me. I feel stronger and more in control if I ignore it, but I wonder if I am doing more damage if I do. This time, pushing through was not even an option - my work stress was already intolerable and added to the hormonal stress there was no hope for me.
I really want to figure out how to stay in better control - but it seems so completely out of reach. My crazy hormones will continue to be crazy until I cross over to the other side of menopause. I have friends younger than me that are already there, but I am 54 years old and as things stand right now - my cycle still happens like clockwork. My clock, however, has turned into a fun-house coo-coo clock and turns me upside down and inside out every time it comes back around.
Add to that, my work stress that is always high, but has been close to intolerable for several months. As much as I try to remain calm and not let it get to me, I work endlessly - 10 hour days are consistent, but lately there are more and more 12 and 14 hour days followed by giving another 12 hours across Saturday and Sunday. There is no break between days or weeks, it just keeps going and going and going. I have no life outside of work - I am either working or sleeping or working again.
It is days like this, when I am exhausted and feel physically horrible that trying to build consistent healthy routines around eating and exercise seem so far away. I want to figure it out - I need to figure it out and tomorrow is a new day so I will spend some time this evening setting up a plan and doing the very best I can to set myself up for success.
@anabirgite, @deepwoodslady, @judefit1, @skyleen75, @chapter_3 thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. So very much appreciated and helped me feel less isolated in my life's chaos ❤️
7/1 - 149.8 - going back in the right direction. Went out to dinner with friends - a much needed break from my work drudgery. Not sure the scale will appreciate it as much I did.

Hi everyone! I’m 34 years old and 164 cm (5’ 4,5”). I have a very sedentary life, since I am a PhD researcher. I work mostly from home or sometimes I go to a cafe. Sometimes I go to the gym 2-3 times in a week, but sometimes I don’t go for weeks. I don’t have a routine. I’ve been overweight since I was 18 and every year I gained more and more. In the last 1,5 years I have been between 103-105 kg (227-231 lbs). My ultimate goal weight is 70 kg (154 lbs), but firstly I want to go below 103 kg which I stuck for 1,5 years. Then I hope go below 100 kg (220 lbs).
I started on 20 June, it’s still early days so being consistent is very important throughout this challenge. I aim to take 1600 calories a day and reach my macro goals. I am not crazy strict, but I don’t wanna be too loose and off the track either.
SW: 105 kg (20 June)
UGW: 70 kg
RSW: 104.4 kg
RGW: 102.9 kg
6/25 - 104.4 kg
6/26 - 104.1 kg
I ate below my calorie goal and was close to my macro goals. Some days will be more than my calorie goal, so once or twice a week I need this lower calorie days. I am happy about yesterday and today’s weight 😊
6/27 -104.2 kg
Yesterday, I ate all my calories and reach my exact macro goals. I went to the city centre yesterday so walking almost 10000 steps helped me to burn the extra calories that I took from a pint of beer and stayed within calorie limits. I was hoping to see 103s but it’s fine, beer effect probably. I don’t prefer cut alcohol but limit it, so it’s ok. I am planning to drink 2-2,5 pints of beer per week. Which is like extra 500-600 calories that makes me happy and I can burn that.
6/28 - 103.7 kg
I ate all my calories, and was close to my macro goals. I walked over 7000 steps after dinner. I am very happy to see 103s, I cannot wait for 102s.
6/29 - 103.3 kg
It’s been 9 days I started to “diet” and it usually starts like this: seeing the numbers are decreasing. However it usually stops after 12-15 days even though I don’t do anything different and I demotivate myself and stop. So this time I don’t want to be too excited about losing weight easily (?) at the beginning and I want to be aware of it might be just water weight for now, but I need to continue. As I said before going below 103 has been a problem for me about 1,5 years. If I can be less than 103 and continue to lose weight then I will believe that it’s working. So keep calm and be consistent. Yesterday I ate a bit less than my calorie goal but my macros weren’t great. It’s good that I ate less because Sunday is our 1,5 years anniversary (I know half year anniversary doesn’t make sense 😃 but we love a celebration). My partner and I want to celebrate with going somewhere and doing something special. So I will use that extra calories on Sunday. I expect to see an increase on 7/01.
6/30 - 104 kg
Kinda expected, since I ate more than usual and drank beer. I ate mostly carbs so… I couldn’t count my calories properly but I am sure that it was max 1800-2000 calories, it’s not the worst. It shouldn’t demotivate me but I shouldn’t make this often either. It wasn’t good idea to go out yesterday but the weather was amazing (not very common in the UK you know). So I was tempted go to a bar and drink and eat there. And the bad thing is I will also go out today, so two days in a row will ruin my progress so far. Anyway, I have to continue, and I am still doing better than before. I ate below my calorie goal a few times this week I hope it will balance it a bit. I know that eating carbs keeps water in the body, that’s water weight I didn’t gain 700 gr in a day. I will see the real changes in the long time. However I should limit these kinda going out and eating lots of carbs days max twice in a month.
7/01 - 104.2 kg
Expected again. I had a “cheat day” yesterday, I didn’t log my meals and I am sure it was over 2000 calories. My partner and I went to Cambridge, discovered the town and celebrated 1,5 years of being together! I ate more than my “diet” days but I didn’t go crazy. I still kinda limited what I ate and drank. I was being cautious much more than before I started this journey (since 20 June). That’s something, I suppose… I also walked over 13000 steps, at least I burned some calories. These two days have slowed down my progress but I’m still continuing. I hope to see a decrease in a few days again.
7/02 - 104.1 kg
Yesterday I ate all my calories but carbs were a bit higher than my macro goals. It was a chill day at home, I was back in control what I am eating.I will be more active, eat less carbs, and drink more water today to go back 103s again tomorrow.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 264 (my 194th). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to stay under 140 pounds,
• to lose!
I was shocked towards the end of last round to read back that my very first round in JGM10Ds, I was 10 pounds lighter then in March 2019 !!! I need to get my finger out & in the words of the song "Get Back to Where you Once Belonged" !!!!!! And it is Global Beatles Day 😊.
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.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.

6/25 139.8 – (trend 140.2) – 12.85 miles walked, less than 10% exercise calories eaten back. A good start to the round to be under 140 pounds, now to hold it.
6/26 140.2 – (trend 140.2) 6.4 miles walked, 100 calories over.
6/27 139.6 – (trend 140.1) 12.23 miles walked less than 30% exercise calories eaten out.
6/28 139.2 – (trend 140) 9.24 miles walked, 65% exercise calories eaten back.
6/29 DNW - away in the peak district for the weekend, we live the walking up here 😁. Yesterday was super busy so very little walking; less than 5 miles, hence 116 calories over.
6/30. DNW - 9.26 miles walked, 42% exercise calories eaten back. Found an open garden event 3.5 miles into our walk at Wirksworth, spent most of the day walking around those, also visited the local heritage trail station before the slog up the step incline back to the site, 137 flights of stairs.
7/1 7/1 138.9 – (trend 139.6 ) 8.84 miles walked, 80.5% of exercise calories eaten back. Went to support DD & DS in their 20Krun & 4K walk all around Sheffield, very proud of their achievements, not easy with all those hills around there.
7/2 139.6 – (trend 139.6) – 7.97 miles walked, had a fall on Sunday afternoon, really hurt my leg which looked liked a bad graze all down my shin, but obviously also done some internal damage as had to cut short my walk and hobble back home with the pain ☹. This morning it is still swollen, pain has subsided to yesterdays level, hope I can walk ok today. 42% of exercise calories eaten back.

Feeling really positive.
I stayed strong and flexed my will power muscle yesterday. I could hear the encouraging positive voice in my head helping me resist a binge. Thank you all for helping to strengthen that voice!!!
I’m also working on taking care of a few things I’ve been procrastinating. General paperwork and seasonal housework. There is a link for me with cravings and binging when I feel a bit out of control with life.7 -

SW ⚖️132.0
F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (proteinG> Cg+Fg) A whole food WOE- no processed foods. Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010. Lost 16lbs Aug-Dec 2023.
Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
#HSF
📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
#helpfulhabits
Let’s Go! 💪🏻🙌🏻⚡️
R264 Habits: (same as 263)
** ✅R263- WOE: P:E
Protein g > (Cg + Fg). Try 1.5:1 or better 2:1. Was on Keto/Ketovore/MAD. Moving toward increased protein and less fat.
✅🏋️♀️20 min/ day or 30 min 4x per week. RECORD DETAIL.
✅ 🙏📝 🧐60 min 5x /week (Pray, journal, and research)
✅🥩115g -130g of protein
✅🛏️💤 tracking sleep
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 15g of net carbs/ day
6. ✅Clean P:E 115-130g Protein (this is new)
7. ✅HH Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
8. ✅💦80oz daily
9. ✅Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
10. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…
Tremendous progress since last July, but still “skinny-fat”. I want 🏋️♀️to become a healthy habit too. … 🏋️♀️20 min per day or 30 min 3-4x per week. 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.
Rotating 115g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !
Let’s do R264!!🙌🏻

6/25⚖️ 132.0
✅Pg 137 P:E. 1.7 :1 🏋️♀️20 min 📝🚶♀️11k 🛏️💤 6hrs
Solid day. Slept yucky. Not enough water. So darn hot yesterday… need more 💦 today- even tho 80oz feeling dehydrated….
Really want to sleep better /feeling cortisol levels still high.
This week DGS coming over after soccer camp each day for an hour or so…. He is my “why” - #HSF Focus on balance, mobility & functional training.
Let’s Go!
6/26⚖️129.8lbs
✅Pg 123 P:E 2:1 🏋️♀️20 min 📝🚶♀️6.5k 🛏️💤 5hrs
Up too early but slept like a rock for 5 hrs. Tried to go back to sleep but couldn’t. Will make lemonade.
P:E going well. Hitting macro “ratios” is an interesting experiment. Will continue thru this round then assess.
Solid 🏋️♀️ yesterday. Feeling it. (Good!) Still pushing myself to “DO IT” cuz it certainly is not a habit yet! Typical summer heat here. Today might be a rest day. Will see how I feel when the rest of the world wakes up. 😃.
Oh, the scale? More 💦💦💦 than usual and kept my routine. My body adores routine! I “surged” two days 6/24 & 6/25 and after reviewing my 6 mo stats, 130-131 is “my zone”. (What else am I going to do at 4a.m.?) Anything out of that range is a “systems fluctuation”. Still striving to build functional strength, agility & balance.
Let’s strive today! #HSF#helpfulhabits
6/27 ⚖️ 129.6lbs
✅Pg 123 P:E 1.3:1 🏋️♀️20 min 📝🚶♀️10.5k 🛏️💤 9hrs 😄
This morning all I can think about is that I slept nine hours! No nap yesterday … I fell asleep on the couch around 7 PM… Slept straight through the night -feel great! Good day 💪🏻yesterday! Let’s hope the 💤 continues!
(I have a tennis match this evening and whenever I play at night I can’t sleep🤞🏻)
Scale⚖️thoughts: Weirdness.
I have no explanation… same as when the scale jumps up … must be my “systems”
6/28 6/27 ⚖️ 129.6lbs
✅Pg 122 P:E 2.9 :1 📝🚶♀️10.k 🛏️💤 5hrs 😄 🚫🏋️♀️
Slept very poorly last night due to late 🎾Tennis. Too much adrenaline. My team is on the road to state again! Hopefully I can take a nap today. InBody @ 9:30am. Will report back.
6/29 ⚖️ 129.8lbs
✅Pg 136 P:E 2.2 :1 📝🚶♀️3.6k (YIKES) 🛏️💤 8hrs 😄 🚫🏋️♀️
Food entry: I mixed up my eating routine - DH and I went to our favorite little health food café. Chose tri-color slaw mixed with chopped broccoli & cauliflower (no dressing)… topped with delicious, yummy fresh turkey salad w/ dab of Mayo, chopped carrots & black olives. They raise their own turkey- Que Delicioso! Divided for lunch and dinner … protein shake w/ yogurt/berries to top off my day. (Yes, I did suffer lots of gas🙃) but a Perfect P:E day.
Today = 💪🏻day. (I’ve had two rest days). Several 🇺🇸celebrations so will get my 🚶♀️💪🏻done early this morn. (But there’s another really good estate sale happening this morning so I might indulge!) I plan on enjoying whatever whole foods are served today - no alcohol. It’s going to be +100° - plenty of electrolytes.
6/30 ⚖️ DNW
✅Pg 125 P:E 1 :1 📝🚶♀️11k 🛏️💤 4-5hrs 🏋️♀️30min
Slept poorly. But….
Best 🏋️♀️ever. Incremental positives. I think this was the first time I actually “enjoyed” 🏋️♀️. I simply forced myself to just DO it, & after abt 10 min, I felt the endorphins / adrenaline kick in and viola-positivity took over.
Then…. A pool party! I stuck to no alcohol & my “whole foods” plan… I had two WHOLE pieces of FRIED chicken (one without skin and the second with what the heck skin) and two WHOLE pieces of PIE! Mildly disappointed in myself… that I did not stop at one piece of pie… because one was enough. Yes, there’s that. So this was my “no excuse” Saturday. Got home at 5pm and enjoyed 💦💦💦… Thinking the sugar is why I did not sleep well… Tossed all night… up @ 3:15. (DNW cuz Discombobulated. Enjoyed two cups ☕️ so will ⚖️ tomorrow).
A new day today 🎾& 🏋️♀️!
7/1⚖️ 130.8
✅Pg 117 P:E 1.1 :1 📝🚶♀️8k 🛏️💤 5hrs 🏋️♀️20min
Slept poorly. Again…. 🙃
Yesterday- solid day. Some emotional ruminating about SILLY Non-consequential stuff that happens when you’re a ruminator…. Looking for my helpful habits to kick in today. Stay present & grateful.
I love that it’s a new month! I’m going to spend additional time today reading, reflecting & journaling to come up with a full “leveling up/down” plan for July. I came across a graphic yesterday, that I will post in a separate posting… Maybe one person will benefit.
P:E is working for me. I like it. Shoot for 120-130 P.
Proteing ratio to Energyg (carbg + fatg) greater than 1:1. Whole food /clean only. 2:1 is best for me.
NSV: stayed the course 🏋️♀️even tho I DID NOT WANT TO!
7/2⚖️ 130.4
✅Pg 155 P:E 2.2 :1 📝🚶♀️4k 🛏️💤 8.5hrs 🏋️♀️10min
Slept like a rock last night… no idea why or what I did differently. Maybe lack of good sleep finally caught up with me.
Yesterday: Got a wild hair and decided to make low-carb, high protein, organic grass-fed ground venison/ribeye/brisket enchiladas … went all-in- even the wraps were individually created “egg-white” wraps -crafted individually…. Fresh ranchero /scratch sauce too. Everything whole & natural. Six hours. Delicious but EXPENSIVE and I’ll NEVER do that again. Went through 2 dozen fresh farm eggs because I messed up and had to start over…. Yes, super yummy and … worth the “experience”, but not the effort. Leftovers for an army!
😂
Super easy for me to get off track/distracted from 🏋️♀️🚶♀️🎾 … will be more focused today?(However, it will be 100° & Wimbledon has started!). Literally forgot to work on my “July” plan. I may not get to it today, but I’ll do it by the 4th.
5:30am and Wimbledon is on!

This roller coaster of my life that I was shoved onto 2 years ago continues to careen and somehow speed up! I have every intention of fully participating in this round, thank goodness no traveling for next 10 days. But to just add jet fuel to my chaos, my neighbor offered to buy my house last weekend and I said yes. So now 2 months to move. Eeeks!!! Looking forward to starting my next chapter in my life and getting off this current ride. Losing these last few pounds, which seems be the only thing I cannot lose seems like a great place to start. I need to weigh myself, weigh my food, track my food and participate on this blog. These goals have worked magic for me before. Look forward to reading all of your postings...
6/25: 122.2 Down a pound from last week - been waiting for this challenge to start. Also I am going to not drink on weekdays, lucky I am planning to play pickleball this evening, such a calorie burner.
6/26: 121.6💥 Weighed myself 💥 weighed my food💥, tracked my food💥 and posting💥 Yeah! Played pickleball last night 2 hours, great workout and reliever of stress.I guess once the inspection is done I will know for sure sale is going thru or not and that should relieve some stress and then add some more as I then put move plan in to action.
6/27: 121.4 💥Yeah!!! Weighed me, my food (almost all), tracked and posted- Yesterday overwhelmed with 30 years of paperwork, shredded so much because trash day today. Emptied my kitchen shelves- almost all Sunday- should have activated my watch to track my activity moving that trash can to the street! Debating having a garage sale next Saturday, July-5-6, could this be too soon? What if house sale falls thru? Eeks! Exercised late last night since so behind shredding paperwork. Actually ate just 20 something grams under the MFP allotment - shocked inched down. Tracking works...
6/28: 121.2💥 I need to take the Win. Weighed, tracked and posted. I read several others posters commenting on losing slowly... I understand that feeling. I might need to adjust my calories. Good news no headache this morning - not sure why not stress level still thru roof. Home inspection today, expect this will be what makes or breaks this sale. I at peace either way - or that is what I am telling myself and God. Shredded almost a decade of tax returns, hard to believe how much stuff you accumulate. Played pickleball last night.
6/29: 121.6 Not as bad as I thought it might be. Home Inspector was in my house from 8 AM until 2 and the homebuyer from 11:30 until 2PM - felt very awkward to make lunch- so ran to Whole foods to eat at their hot bar. Then went to a Euchre party last night. No exercise, awful! hate days like this. I had to work late- so no time. Need to pray I accept God's plan here. Playing Pickleball this morning -Yeah- Then need to start clearing things out.
6/30:121.2 💥Yeah! Played in a Pickleball kid of tournament Saturday, so burned a lot of calories. Went out to lunch and split my lunch into 2 meals. Did enjoy some wine last night as I continue to shred so much paperwork. Impressed myself with how well I have organized this massive amount of useless paperwork, that I should have disposed of years ago. Eeks but now struggling, with kids report cards? Essays? Eeks! Had to move on to the laundry room and look at all my cleaning supplies- Again with the many bottles of windex, and other misc bottles of cleaner for a specific need.
7/1: 122.2 🌨️ Back to the beginning... I know it was the lunch/dinner Saturday. Restaurant food always has so much sodium and I get bloated. It shows up 2 days later and lasts a day or 2... But mentally I hate going backwards. Played pickleball yesterday and boated, easy going day. Almost done with all the shredding. Cleaned out my son's bathroom. Still waiting for the final yes or no. Wondering if I can break up strength training into little parts all week rather than 1 hour every other day? Might be easier for me to get done and stay consistent.
7/2: 122.0 Unbloating- I know it is not a word but I feel it captures me right now- I am in the "unbloating" phase similar to unloading a boat, carrying one box, at a time, slowly removing trying to rebalance this ship. Beautiful evening last night, played pickleball, chatted with my friends. Recycle bin at curb full. Was so proud of myself for 5 minutes last night-combined 2 gallon bottles of vinegar to 1 bottle and while taking that large bottle to to the recycle bin found another gallon of vinegar in garage. No one needs this much vinegar...Am giving to friend tonight. I have just way too much junk.
