Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 265

HW- 242
LW- 142
Feb 5th 2024- 200.4

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

Rnd 265 End Weight 176.4

7/05- DNW
7/06- 174.6 I’m not sure how much I’ll bounce around the beginning of this round. I suspect I’m still a bit dehydrated from spending 2 days with our “fun” friends. A bit more alcohol, food and sitting around then I am used to. It will take a few days for my body to level out.
I’m happy to be in a new round and I’m optimistic that I can make some progress. The low 170’s really seems to be a sticking point for me. I’m sure I’m also just a bit complacent after four months of slow and steady loss.
Time to change it up a bit, tune up my self control muscle and try a new approach. At least that always sounds like a good idea at 6am in the beginning of a new round!!!!
Everyday I start all over.

R265-#35
7/5/24
SW ⚖️ 130.4lbs

Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
#HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
#helpfulhabits R265 Let’s Go! 💪🏻🙌🏻⚡️

About Me:
***********
F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (ProteinG> (Cg+Fg) A clean/whole food WOE- (🚫processed foods). Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010. Lost 16lbs Aug-Nov 2023. 7/31/24 will be one year in this challenge!

👇🏻July Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of July:

1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and kcals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan through July. It is supposed to support muscle gain with fat loss while 🏋🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️ 🎾. I will continue to track NSVs/macros/ activities, etc. to learn about my body.
2. 🙏📝 🧐 - I will continue to pray, journal, research. This is my aspect of “leveling up” because I am nothing without my relationship w/Jesus Christ. I’ve also grown into loving/enjoying learning about my body & healthy aging. Replacing BAD habits w/ GOOD habits is a journey in itself. This practice helps me stay present /mindful of many decisions/ thoughts/ actions that impact not only nutrition, but improves self-talk & interactions w/others.
3. 🏋🏼‍♀️this is my biggest challenge. I still don’t like it. Not one bit. I have some days that it clicks, but it’s a daily struggle. Living “fake it till I make it”… Faking my “identity”. My hope is that some 🏋️‍♀️version eventually becomes a healthy habit. I’m working on a minimum of 10-minute “🏋🏼‍♀️snacks” 2-3x per day, 5x per week. Gosh, how I wish someone, ANYONE would have told me in my earlier years that 🏋🏼‍♀️is the key to fat-loss / maintaining - NOT cardio. I was brainwashed.
4. Healthy Aging - includes mobility, flexibility, balance and agility. While I do stretch every morning plus “stretch snacks”… I want to up this game… I will start to add “sprints” (which is NOW only fast jogging… 😂) and plyometrics (celebrating a 2” vertical jump) 😂. I read to “sprint” is vital as we age…..
5. I have much “work” to do with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & my overall health will not flourish without this being acknowledged and improved. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until I reconcile this part of my life.
6. Sleep- This is a big one. I’m usually fast asleep by 8:30-9PM. I can’t stay up later…. I love getting up early. I’m good with a 5AM wake up but I want to sleep soundly through the night. Will continue to prioritize this key component to health and well-being…
7. Have fun… lighten up … & give myself permission to be spontaneous. (This is THE HARDEST)!!!!

👇🏻Review since my 1st R231 7/31/23 NSVs/Journey Reflections
******************

1. ✅HSF: Avg. close to 9k steps per day for 11+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - #HSF 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅#HSF: 🙆‍♀️ Daily stretch greatly improving my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅ #HSF 📝 🙏 everyday
4. ✅#HSF: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
5. ✅#HSF : Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
6. ✅#HSF : zero to 15g of net carbs/ day
7. ✅Clean P:E 115-130g Protein
8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
9. ✅#HSF 💦80oz daily
10. ✅#HSF Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
11. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…

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… !

7/5⚖️130.4
✅July Level -up! However, 🚫 jump/sprint. P = 124g; P:E 1.7:1 🏋️‍♀️20 min 🚶‍♀️12.5K. Will plyo/sprint today. Let’s see how bad it is! Will be REALLY bad!😎

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! DH and I did our annual town “Four on the 4th 🇺🇸” (4 mi run or walk). great time. I love our quintessential little town & I love the 🇺🇸!!!

I read this AGAIN yesterday:
“An identity shift is CRUCIAL to keeping fat off for life. You must develop the habits and mindset of a fit person.” LETS ROCK THIS ROUND!!💪🏻🙌🏻

7/6 ⚖️129.8lbs
✅July Level Up! 💯 P = 149g; P:E 2:1 🏋️‍♀️30 min 🚶‍♀️5.5K. 🛏️💤8 hrs.

Rained most of the day, but I was able to get in a short structured jog/sprint/walk/die session. 🏋️‍♀️ during Wimbledon. I’m so proud of myself for plyo- doing 3 sets of box jumps & jump rope… I also sprinted 3x during a 1 mile jog - WIPED me out If anyone saw me, I looked like a total dork. Sore this morn. New muscles activated. It’s a start! Even achieved 60 min of Z2💗. 🚶‍♀️under avg. because of the rain.

My protein was super high yesterday because I made the most delicious poached chicken salad… A dab of Primal mayo with celery and fresh rosemary. Smoked salt. Protein shake, too. Divine. Who said healthy food had to be boring or taste bad?

Thank God, my DH is 100% supportive … He’s a cyclist and kite boarder… eats healthy & active every single day. He’ll be 70 in October.

I don’t know if all this activity will lengthen our lives, but we sure are enjoying the activity each day.

Hope to see my DGS today. Walking early to beat the heat.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 265 (my 195th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to stay under 139 pounds,
• to lose!

I was shocked to read back that my very first round in JGM10Ds, I was 10 pounds lighter in March 2019 !!!
I need to get my finger out & in the words of the song "Get Back to Where you Once Belonged" !!!!!!
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.

7/4 139.2 – (trend 139.4) 7.01 miles walked. Attended a thank you bbq for volunteers at National Trust, no low calorie choices, so had one burger on a bap & cake, confess to 2 pieces ! But resisted this turning into a binge as I was tempted, so tempted to turn to the chocolate, but I resisted 😊. A loss of 1.6 pounds, no binges this round. Unfortunately I failed to stay under 140 on 1 day, but ‘two out of three ‘ain’t bad’ !!!! It seems that words of songs are becoming a theme!!

SW RND 265

7/5 139.2 (trend 139.3) 6.83 miles walked, less than 30% exercise calories eaten back. Ankle/leg still slowly improving, swelling slowly going down, it is making me reduce miles walked at the mo. as it makes it known when it’s has had enough!!
7/6 139.2 (trend 139.3) 6.84 miles walked, pizza night, first for many months! 91 calories over. Picked up our new motorbike yesterday afternoon after DH finished work 😊. (Orange hi-vis is his daily work uniform!)

@lolakinks congrats on your milestone! Keep going and don’t stop!

@deepwoodslady :

I love James Taylor. So soothing to listen to! Was Carly Simon talking about him in :"You're so Vain"? Will we ever really know? Anyway, lucky you for getting to enjoy that concert!

Carly Simon finally "gave it up" after many years- "You're So Vain" was mostly about Warren Beatty, who she dated way back when, and maybe 2 other guys who remain unnamed, but apparently it's not either James Taylor nor Mick Jagger. I think the mystery keeps it more interesting

Feeling a molecule of motivation. I will try to grow it. Starting with guarding of what I will call poison food from getting near my pie hole. Easier said than done. The guards can’t be trusted.

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.

CW: 125ish

I’m a serial dieter/gainer whose weight has varied by 50 lbs over the years; I’m working to change my relationship with food. I joined this group in 12/23 at 147, lost 22 lbs and reached my goal in 4/24. I’m now working to understand my patterns so I know where my pitfalls are. My goal is to remain within the same 3-4 lb range for good!
The goal is to return to my routine of eating healthfully, weighing every day and working out consistently with a varied routine.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 265 (my 195th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

7/6 139.2 (trend 139.3) 6.84 miles walked, pizza night, first for many months! 91 calories over. Picked up our new motorbike yesterday afternoon after DH finished work 😊. (Orange hi-vis is his daily work uniform!)





👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

@musicsax Love this picture!. You are really inspring - the miles you walk everyday, your dancing you've posted about, and now motorbiking. You both look so fit!

Round 265
July 5 – 14, 2024

62 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.

History:

Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a two grandsons. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment

7/5 – 135.6 Did not properly track yesterday, BUT I did accomplish going out for a 30 minute walk. Not much, but I need to reestablish healthy habit that had gone by the wayside. On another note, I have 4 round available to me before a friend’s wedding. Had I not gotten off track, that would not be an issue. I also need to break my relationship with Ben, Jerry and Haagen Das.

7/6 – 135.0 Can’t remember if I actually put up my post yesterday. Did not track yesterday, but ate a little better. Today, I intend to track the whole day and get out for a walk. Any walk! Going to a movie today, so need to plan for that, too!

Still trending down — yay! We’re going out for dinner today with friends to a New Mexican restaurant, but I’m preplanning with their online menu, and will try very hard to skip the chips & salsa.

7/06 - 195.8
Good! The New Mexican restaurant we went to last night was excellent, and no, I didn’t manage to dodge the chips, but I nibble slowly, so didn’t do too much damage. But…DH wanted to split a dessert, so I did have a little cake and ice cream. But I went light the rest of the day, so I think it was ok. We’ll see tomorrow if there’s a delayed reaction. Maybe I can fend it off with some rigorous garden work. 😊

They requested subs for dinner; I had tuna and took the top off, hope that helped...

Julia, when we have subs at bingo, I take the meat, cheese, whatever off and pull the soft white bread out the reassemble. I bring my own Italian dressing that I then pour into the bread shell. It’s possible a sub shop might be willing to “gut” your bread OR make it a lettuce wrap. Jimmy John’s makes an Unwich which is a lettuce wrap and my favorite!

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

7/5 134.0 It’s okay. Back on the “wagon” again. Result of party -very slight amount of adult beverages but both had sugar. Ate hot dog, burger (no buns) and 1.5” cube of cake (no icing). EMERGENCY MESSAGE FROM DD#1 at 5:35 (Woke me from a sound sleep) she needs a baby picture of herself! Too many distractions this morning. Temp will be 102 at 10am high of 114
7/6 133.5 Recovering from 4th of July. Enjoying the ground feeding birds on the patio. The quail babies are growing. Four of them were waiting for seed when I got up late-7:30!
