#HSF = “Healthy, Strong, Fit”... My daily personal mantra….
Also, daily aspirin has tons of benefits for sure!
I guess I had a brain fart. LOL About 30 seconds before I saw this I said to myself, “Oh! DUH!! Health, Strength, Fitness!”

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

SW RND 265 133.0
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!
7/7 133.5 In-n-Out was SO salty! Today Great Greek.
7/8 132.0 Flushed the salt from Saturday evening.
Monday morning headline!!! 7/9 131.5 Boiled shrimp for dinner YUM
** Took aspirin at bed.
7/10 132.0 🤷♀️ At 6pm I was feeling hungry and realized I hadn’t eaten anything other than 2 crisp strips off bacon around 10AM. I had 3 oz of Boar’s Head London Broil and 1.5 oz BH Horseradish Cheddar.5 -

7/10 - 196.2
I’m off to another dog show long weekend in Michigan in my friend’s camper trailer, leaving tomorrow morning and probably coming back Sat., or maybe Sunday (she’s there for the duration but I’ll have my car this time, so….). Last time I managed not to overeat, so I’m planning more of the same. Her dog needs one point (out of 15) to finish his championship, so fingers and toes crossed for the best. Other than tension when they’re in the ring, it’s pretty relaxing for me—no responsibilities beyond keeping track of my folding chair! 😊
@SheilaBoneham I am a Michigan gal. In which city is the dog show?

07/08 -189.2- (Trend weight 187.2)
07/09 -189.0- (Trend weight187.6) I never followed through with exercise yesterday although I did do a bit of yard work. Meals were good, snacks were questionable (again) but a bit better. Weight slightly down but trend still going up. It’s not going to turn around all by itself! This morning I am already mentally preparing myself for the inevitable – night time. That is when the snack monsters come out. My day will be fine but my night is where the battle begins. I have a plan so we will see if it works.
07/10 -189.2- (Trend weight188.0) A small fluctuation likely due to no TMI. I started my day off this morning with a youtube workout because I had virtually no exercise yesterday other than some light yard work. Rainy today so my contractor will be working mainly inside today on the bedroom. He’s been a bit sidetracked lately helping the window sub-contractor and the vinyl siding fellow, all under his employ. A lot going on here. If he keeps hopping around, my bedroom will never be finished! I’m still sleeping in my living room where my king size bed is firmly planted right in the center of the room. It kind of feels like I’m camping.

Lowest weight measurement since I started tracking on MFP in 2019 and I’ve had some ups and downs. I started strength training at the beginning of 2023 and it’s been a game changer for me. Feeling grateful for my good health today.

Thank you @quiltingjaine for helping us stay accountable to ourselves.
@jspecies11 Big CONGRATS on the scale breakthrough!
Appears the consistency of the ST challenge has paid off/continues to pay-off. You’re definitely in a #HSF zone! 5 years of persistence! You’re an inspiration!

7/10 - 150.7 - No change. I'm incredibly sore in my legs so maybe I'm holding on to some water? I'm getting 120oz or more a day (part of Coach's goals) but maybe I need more to flush something out. I'm sticking to macros which are at 10% deficit. They're not bad at all though I do find myself slightly hungry after a week of eating at maintenance. Not much else to report on, just chugging along!

Previous Day's Comments7/05 - A non-tracking day yesterday so not surprised on the uptick. I guess I forgot to weigh yesterday? We were nearly late to the parade and then hung out in town with friends. Our other good friends came in around dinnertime from out of town to visit for the weekend. I absolutely adore them. Ended up leaving before the fireworks since we had to work today - I also wanted to get up for the gym (I succeeded! I went despite the slightly later night). Not sure what the plan is today other than I already ate breakfast and have lunch planned. Dinner will be spur of the moment since we may go into town to see our out of town friends. Or maybe not. Completely unsure at the moment. I tried to leave a nice balance of macros leftover for whatever happens.

7/08 - Dehydration and alcohol caused me to retain some water. I'm dropping back off now, which I'm happy for. I've gone ahead and pre-logged lunch and dinner as well as the breakfast I already ate. Coach didn't update my macros until after lunch last week so hopefully she's not so late this week. Dinner is the one meal I can't change much very easily (without just not eating what is prepared and eating something else entirely). I'm likely going to drop back into a deficit, though not as low as I was a week ago. We're thinking that was too low for me. I have room in my macros for a drop and, so long as its before lunch, I can adjust my intake as well. Feeling good, though!
7/09 - No clue why I'm up, maybe seasonings? Maybe all the cheese. BF smoked some bone-in pork chops and he seasons quite thoroughly (read: plenty of salt). He also requested scalloped potatoes and, well, I didn't have non-dairy heavy cream or cheese on hand for it so the real stuff had to suffice. I did take my lactose pills at least. Today's meals are planned and logged, now to just stick to them. Struggled, snoozed, but still got out of bed for upper body/back today. I'm going to focus on 2 upper body days: one focused on back and biceps with lateral shoulder movements; the other will be focused on chest and triceps with forward shoulder movement (like front raises). Then 2 lower body: one focused on hamstrings and quads, one focused more on hips/glutes and low back (with some overlap). My 5th day will be LISS of some sort. We have recumbant bikes, upright bikes, ellipticals, treadmills, and rowing machines I can choose from. I need to figure out a way to improve my grip strength though. I always seem to feel back day in my forearms horribly - my grip strength starts to fail before I really start to feel super fatigued in my back muscles. Will look into it.

@jspecies11 Congratulations on beating your previous records since 2019. This is so inspiring!!!!
@tiabirdie56 Wowza on the super low carbs Tues & Wed. I know how incredibly difficult that is. Kudos to you, my friend!4 -
🎷 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.

7/5 139.2 (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 😊.
7/7 139.2 – (trend 139.3) 8.84 miles walked, 60% exercise calories eaten back.
7/8 139.2 – (trend 139.3) 9.54 miles walked, less than a third of exercise calories eaten back. Must be due for a drop soon.
7/9 140.6 – (trend 139.5) urgh, don’t ask!! At least the trend is down, got to find a positive!! 8.54 miles walked, way over on calories ☹. Halfway through the round, 5 days to make a difference.
7/10 141.4 – (trend 139.7) rain all day yesterday meant that no structured walking either before or after lunch with DSs; hence calories way over.
7/11 140.4 – (trend 139.8) 9.77 miles walked, 80% of exercise calories eaten back. Tomorrow will be my last weigh in this round as we head off for a weekend in the caravan tomorrow, need to really make today count!

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. I’ve been overweight since I was 18 and since then I’ve 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) to two digits which is a psychological boundary.
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
RND 264 SW: 104.4 kg
RND 264 EW: 103.6 kg
RND 265 SW: 103.1 kg
RND 265 GW: 102 kg
7/05 - 103.1 kg
I am so happy to see this!!! I didn’t see this number for more than a year! I cannot wait for 102s! Yesterday I ate too much carbs and fat however the calorie amount was fine.
7/06 - 102.8 kg
I can’t believe this! In the last year, many times I have tried to lose weight but after a few weeks I have stuck in 103s. I have never managed to reach 102s for more than a year! I am so happy it works this time! Yesterday I ate less than my calorie goal. My macros are a bit off but more protein and less carbs then usual so I take it.
7/07 - 102.4 kg
Interesting… The number is still decreasing. It’s nice to see though. I just need to be careful about my water intake, I think I didn’t drink enough yesterday. Other than that, I ate all my calories, macros weren’t too bad. I am doing all right.
7/08 - 102.4 kg
Yesterday I ate less than my calorie goal, my macros were fine, and walked over 9000 steps. I am happy that my weight still didn’t increase. I was kinda expecting after this sudden decrease.
7/09 - 102.3 kg
Yesterday I ate less than my calorie goal, my macros were not too bad, at least low carbs. I walked almost 5000 steps. I cannot wait to reach my mini goal 102 kg.
7/10 - 102.5 kg
Yesterday I ate a little bit over my calorie goal, and my macros are a bit off because of fat. But it shouldn’t be a big problem, I was still in calorie deficit by about 400 calories. It’s normal to have these ups and downs. I just hope that I won’t stuck at 102.3-102.5 since it’s 4th day.
7/11 - 102.6 kg
Yeah, I am stuck here. It started to be demotivating. I hope it changes soon. I will be on my period in a few days, maybe it’s related? I don’t know…

7/11- 173.0 Happy with that! Yesterday was just one of those days that I had to power through. And when I saw power, I mean POWER!!!!!
By 7:30am I had already moved twelve 45lb cinder blocks three times and I was arriving at the garage to lift weights with my girls.
The farmers market is set up in a large metal pavilion at the park. The sunshines in like a beast on one side so I have super magnet hooks that hold up sail cloth for shade. Lately the wind has been intense by the river so I needed the blocks to anchor the bottom.
First I had to load the blocks onto the cart, next from the cart to my truck followed by moving them close to their positions carrying each 20-70ft.
Oofdah!!!! Your girl is STRONG!!!
Let’s not forget picking them all up at the end of the market, luckily I figured out how to store them about 15 feet from where I will need them most weeks.
I also got in my strength training, gardened for three hours, set up the market, found and returned a lost dog, found and returned a lost wallet, jumped a dead car, smiled at babies, hugged dear friends and ate cupcakes.
Announced that after 6 years of managing the farmers market that this will be my last year.

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 on 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.

Tonight we're meeting DP's brother in Philly for a Phillies/Dodgers game with both his kids and DGSs which means a hot dog tonight, or maybe a Pat's cheesesteak? Uh Oh.

Round 265 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:
7/5: 221.4
/logged; exercised; 85 oz water/
Thus begins a fresh start.
7/6: 221.8
/logged it all; exercised; 70 oz water/
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.
7/7: 219.2
/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
I ate really well yesterday. Very low carbs for me. chapter_3 my P:E ratio was 1.13! I snacked on grilled chicken breast, which really filled me up. I precooked a few and they are waiting in the fridge.
I took a long walk. 4.5 miles, which is like child’s play for you musicsax . I don’t know how you do it.
Here we have two examples of how we help each other.
But, today I am going to a Chinese buffet with my family to celebrate my Birthday, then all heading over to the nursing home to include my dad in the dessert phase. This could involve a few carbs.
7/8: 221.0
/logged; exercised; 66 oz water/
While I was over on calories, I think the real culprit yesterday was SALT. (without enough water) In fact, this morning I still feel salty, whatever that means.
Interesting thing I found while logging. It’s almost impossible, no, it IS impossible to properly log a Chinese buffet. You have no idea what the content of that sauce is. So I took some wild guesses and logged a cup of something called Shrimp Teriyaki. This food had 3000+ grams of fat! I switched it out pretty fast. This had to be a typo either on my quantity or their data.
P:E ratio back down with the mortals.
7/9: 221.0
/logged; exercised; 90 oz water/
Yesterday was a day of highs and lows. Mostly highs. This is my last day to be 66 years old. I have already had two Birthday celebrations. Ha!
7/10: 219.4
/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
I really can’t explain this drop from yesterday. I did exceed my standard protein intake, but nothing to brag about. Exercise was minimal. I guess the scale just gave me a birthday gift.
I was sitting here typing before the rooster got up and I saw a good friend sneak by the front window to put a birthday treat and card on my front porch! She is known for her sweet treats. Goodbye P:E ratio.
7/4: 220.8
SW on day before this round.
7/11: 219.6
/logged; no exercise; 80 oz water/
I can’t believe the scale didn’t spike! It will catch up tomorrow. Day full of eating shenanigans yesterday. Amazing accomplishment of fat grams and carb grams eaten. Back to some semblance of discipline today.
Thank you all for the Birthday Greetings. I will stop talking about my birthday now. 😊

7/5 - 124- Starting greater then last round- in a bad way... Darn these long holidays- I know deep down I am bloated- went out to Mexican food Wednesday. My son is in town this weekend, celebrated my birthday he missed yesterday...continuating the eating bad today, took him out to dinner. EEEkkkksss! I will be lucky this round to get back to 124. I still have parties to go to Saturday and Sunday!!!! Played some great pickleball this morning spent all afternoon with my son cleaning out his room in hopes the house sale goes thru. Stress is getting to me even though I keep praying to God I am handing it over, another FAIL. Hope you are all doing better than me!
7/6 121.8- Funny how that bloat just leaves...plays with your mind, convinces you "You can never lose weight!" I know I went out to dinner Wednesday, I knew i would get bloated and yet still felt so defeated until surprisingly elated this morning. Spent yesterday cleaning out the storage area of my basement. Wow so much junk. Playing pickleball this morning, and party this afternoon. Will get myself bak to tracking and weighing then.
7/7 121.6- Unbelievable, must just be thankful!. Played pickleball and went to a party yesterday with lots of great food and I indulged .It is now over the long weekend of no tracking. Serious time. So tracking and weighing my food, no more alcohol on weekdays...
7/8 121.4- Weighing, tracking and weighing my food (I do need to do better job here) works for me. Kind of like watching the ball playing pickleball, why would I not do it when I have so much success when I do the things that work. Did the Les Mills Body Pump work out last night, so sore, but I need to make a commitment to doing weights several times a week. Have Pickleball tonight so will have a nice cardio workout.
7/9 123.0- I don't know!?! 🤷♀️Played over 2 hours of steamy, sweaty pickleball, drank a great amount of water, had to get up last night at 3 in the morning to fill my water bottle and guzzle it down. Does sweating that much make you bloated ? I ate back all my almost all my exercise calories but did not go over. 🤷♀️ Was I dehydrated and now overcompensating... Just puzzling. I actually weighed the ingredients for my lunch and tracked, will focus on that again today.
7/10 122.2- Did weights last night-Yeah! i am always so happy with myself after I complete yet I need to push myself to start. I use to go to classes and meet friends, but you would think the convenience of doing at home make easy to do but I have so much inertia- this resting body does not want to begin moving. I am highly suspicious the 123 is bloat from weekend eating spree- going out to dinner and the party Sunday. Weighed most of my food and tracked yesterday. hope to weigh all today.

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)!!!!

✅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 average today 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 timelines, but we sure are enjoying our active lives.
Hope to see my DGS today. Walking early to beat the heat.
7/7⚖️ 129.0
✅July Level Up! 💯 P = 152g; P:E 1.6:1 🏋️♀️35min 🚶♀️15.5K. 🛏️💤8 hrs.
Walked 5mi &🏋️♀️by 8:30am. 💦💦Sprints / plyo while on my walk. Not as scary as day before… Wimbledon/cleaning- also read & journal/reflected. Another extra high protein day - we’re still eating chicken salad & enchilada leftovers… 😎 Very positive day. Grateful & present. Today: 🎾weather permitting & 🚶♀️. Taking a 🏋️♀️rest day.
7/8 130.8lbs.
✅July Level Up! 💯 P = 141g; P:E 1.9:1 🏋️♀️15min 🚶♀️6.5K. 🛏️💤8 hrs.
Almost a 2lb fluctuation - no clue?!. 🤷♀️🤔Gotta be another “system” issue. That’s just me! ⬇️⬆️🔄 ngl, I was expecting a down-tic this morning, so I’m a little flustered… Not because of “up or down” just because I thought I knew my body a little better… I’m really curious!
Played tennis for two hours; plyo & 🏋️♀️15 min. 💦💦💦 Yesterday was supposed to be a rest day, but decided to move a little with rain on the way. Wimbledon did not disappoint! More today.
Sleep is going well… I read that taking one aspirin before bed helps (bunch of scientific reasons that I won’t go into…) - has been successful the last three nights. Plus magnesium. Working? Hoping so!
7/9 130.6
✅July Level Up! 🚫
P = 126g; P:E 1.2:1 🏋️♀️15min 🚶♀️5.5K. 🛏️💤4 hrs.
I slept horrible last night woke up at 2 AM… Yes, aspirin and magnesium before bed, but to no avail….
I never really got going yesterday. It was so hot. Stayed inside & watched Wimbledon all day- I was a VERY lazy girl. Managed 15 min of 🏋️♀️. I could’ve done more & I could’ve plyo, rope - all kinds of healthy things, but I didn’t. Didn’t even read or journal. I did get to see DGS for an hr…. We’ll see him again this afternoon. Does it qualify as a #HSF habit if you miss a day?! 😎
Want to acknowledge my mothers birthday today. She would’ve been 93. She’s been gone almost 23 years. Margaret was a devoted mom and a brilliant, creative, active & vibrant lady. She started “jazzercise” classes in her 50’s becoming a conscientious health-nut, too. Apple doesn’t fall far from….the tree. ❤️
Promise to me: will focus on “July level-up” today. Half way through R265- Let’s finish 💪🏻!
7/10 ⚖️ 130.2
✅July Level Up! 💯 P = 136g; P:E 1.3:1 🏋️♀️20min 🚶♀️7.5K. 🛏️💤8.5 hrs.
Slept longer last night. What a difference feeling refreshed vs a walking zombie! Nice day yesterday however oppressively hot w/rain. Was torn between watching Wimbledon, and getting out early… More of the same today. I’ll conscientiously work on “July Level-up.” ✅Self - discipline activated. My “rest” day Monday was a good thing!
Yesterday: Friends dropped off red snapper that they had caught in the morning… DH lightly broiled with lemon/herbs…. Nothing better than fresh fish!
7/11 ⚖️ 130.2
✅July Level Up! 💯 P = 131g; P:E 1.2:1 🏋️♀️20min 🚶♀️7.8K. 🛏️💤6.5 hrs.
Good day. Ate cup of plain white rice w/browned ground “Ancestral Beef Blend” (beef, beef liver and beef heart!) Nutrient dense and delicious. The most carbs I’ve had in a year (I think) that wasn’t a dessert cheat… Let’s see what happens… besides yep, tons of gas…. But I had ⬆️ protein and met my P:E ratio.

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. 😊

I’m off to another dog show long weekend in Michigan in my friend’s camper trailer, leaving tomorrow morning and probably coming back Sat., or maybe Sunday (she’s there for the duration but I’ll have my car this time, so….). Last time I managed not to overeat, so I’m planning more of the same. Her dog needs one point (out of 15) to finish his championship, so fingers and toes crossed for the best. Other than tension when they’re in the ring, it’s pretty relaxing for me—no responsibilities beyond keeping track of my folding chair! 😊

@SheilaBoneham I am a Michigan gal. In which city is the dog show?
@deepwoodslady I know, but I think you’re farther north? We’ll be in Marshall, at the fairgrounds.1 -

7/11 - 151.0 - I'm not sure what's going on and why the uptick unless my 10% deficit is allowing me to increase muscle that much faster (we anticipated it slowing my fat loss). My scale says my body fat decreased and muscle increased but it's so all over the place that I'm not relying on it for answers. According to averages, though, I'm up 1.2lbs in muscle but also up 1.1lbs of fat between last month and this month (thus far). I'm still quite sore, but much better than yesterday. So much so, I went ahead with my plan to hit booty (which includes a lot of legs) today since I'll be traveling tomorrow and unable to get to the gym. Food planned for today. Need to raid the pantry for easy to-go snacks I can bring with me for traveling. I can eat breakfast at home but lunch and dinner will be out (Tentatively planning Olive Garden for dinner tomorrow with kids BioMom). Breakfast and lunch Saturday will be on the road so I'll need to plan what I can carefully to avoid any major pitfalls. I'm feeling much more confident I can be mindful and stay fairly balanced, even if macros aren't perfect.

Previous Day's Comments7/05 - A non-tracking day yesterday so not surprised on the uptick. I guess I forgot to weigh yesterday? We were nearly late to the parade and then hung out in town with friends. Our other good friends came in around dinnertime from out of town to visit for the weekend. I absolutely adore them. Ended up leaving before the fireworks since we had to work today - I also wanted to get up for the gym (I succeeded! I went despite the slightly later night). Not sure what the plan is today other than I already ate breakfast and have lunch planned. Dinner will be spur of the moment since we may go into town to see our out of town friends. Or maybe not. Completely unsure at the moment. I tried to leave a nice balance of macros leftover for whatever happens.

7/07
7/08 - Dehydration and alcohol caused me to retain some water. I'm dropping back off now, which I'm happy for. I've gone ahead and pre-logged lunch and dinner as well as the breakfast I already ate. Coach didn't update my macros until after lunch last week so hopefully she's not so late this week. Dinner is the one meal I can't change much very easily (without just not eating what is prepared and eating something else entirely). I'm likely going to drop back into a deficit, though not as low as I was a week ago. We're thinking that was too low for me. I have room in my macros for a drop and, so long as its before lunch, I can adjust my intake as well. Feeling good, though!
7/09 - No clue why I'm up, maybe seasonings? Maybe all the cheese. BF smoked some bone-in pork chops and he seasons quite thoroughly (read: plenty of salt). He also requested scalloped potatoes and, well, I didn't have non-dairy heavy cream or cheese on hand for it so the real stuff had to suffice. I did take my lactose pills at least. Today's meals are planned and logged, now to just stick to them. Struggled, snoozed, but still got out of bed for upper body/back today. I'm going to focus on 2 upper body days: one focused on back and biceps with lateral shoulder movements; the other will be focused on chest and triceps with forward shoulder movement (like front raises). Then 2 lower body: one focused on hamstrings and quads, one focused more on hips/glutes and low back (with some overlap). My 5th day will be LISS of some sort. We have recumbant bikes, upright bikes, ellipticals, treadmills, and rowing machines I can choose from. I need to figure out a way to improve my grip strength though. I always seem to feel back day in my forearms horribly - my grip strength starts to fail before I really start to feel super fatigued in my back muscles. Will look into it.
7/10 - No change. I'm incredibly sore in my legs so maybe I'm holding on to some water? I'm getting 120oz or more a day (part of Coach's goals) but maybe I need more to flush something out. I'm sticking to macros which are at 10% deficit. They're not bad at all though I do find myself slightly hungry after a week of eating at maintenance. Not much else to report on, just chugging along!

@Anabirgite Hang tough. You are doing great. And remember to be kind to yourself…. You know mood & motivation swings are part of this journey. Keep it up!
@CamandJarvis u shared a while back that you were in a book club, & Atomic Habits was the next chosen book… Your thoughts?
So I really really like it. In the book, he mentioned Steve Kamb and NerdFitness, which I've been a part of for years. Steve references a lot of the same type of methods to make or break a habit Examples: to reduce mindless TV watching, unplug your TV or hide it in the closet. It takes so much more work to watch TV, you have to truly want to and it is much harder to be mindless or automatic about it. Or habit stacking - if you drink coffee every morning, maybe you set your book by the coffee pot so you can read a chapter while you drink coffee rather than scroll on your phone mindlessly. Even better if you put a time lock on social media or whatever so you can't access it when you'd normally be drinking coffee. If you can't scroll because of the lock and your book is right there then you're more likely to just read the dang book.
Unlike Steve (who is, indeed, a nerd and does dig into some details), James digs in a bit more and describes some of the science and the studies done - not so much is over your head, but just enough to understand "why" or "how". I unfortunately didn't quite finish the book before the meeting but I got far enough into it to get the basic idea of the 4 steps. I am about 70 pages from finishing and I do plan on finishing that up when I get a quiet moment.
It's definitely something I will be referencing in the future. I want to re-read it with the purpose of implementing some of the methods rather than reading to understand for the sake of discussion. I am thankful for the initial read and discussion - I feel having done that, my second re-read will be much easier then to use as a guide to action rather than trying to understand AND implement. Especially since I'll have the full picture before I start.4 -

I don't have that lab near me (or any lab for that matter) although I could probably find some type of lab in a larger city with some research. I think I'll start with my doctor and see if he would be willing to do some testing on my next appointment. If not, I think it would be worth researching and getting it done for numerous reasons in my case. The link shows the exact testing that is done and that will be very very helpful. Thanks again for sharing this vital information!
Of course!!! I think taking charge of our health involves taking charge of every aspect. After further research and discussion with a fellow woman struggling with hormones, I present many signs for PCOS which I've never been tested for. We also discussed endometriosis, but I have fewer symptoms that fall in that category. Of course, I'm not relying on our discussion or even this panel as a diagnosis, but as a talking point to see if I can fix whatever issues we are finding.
I understand the distance part - this lab is a couple hours away from me but I think it's worth it for my health. I've dealt with hormone-related symptoms (very painful ones at that) since I was a teenager - over half my life now! It's time I finally do something about it.2 -

Female Wellness Panel this is the one I'm doing but there are several options. The link below should show all the labs they offer.
Vidal Labs
Gentlemen, I'm not leaving you out. There are several men's labs and there are unisex labs. The one I saw as I scrolled that I was curious about was heavy metals test. I just happened to be recommended the women's panel by my Coach (:0 -

I’m off to another dog show long weekend in Michigan in my friend’s camper trailer, leaving tomorrow morning and probably coming back Sat., or maybe Sunday (she’s there for the duration but I’ll have my car this time, so….). Last time I managed not to overeat, so I’m planning more of the same. Her dog needs one point (out of 15) to finish his championship, so fingers and toes crossed for the best. Other than tension when they’re in the ring, it’s pretty relaxing for me—no responsibilities beyond keeping track of my folding chair! 😊
@SheilaBoneham I am a Michigan gal. In which city is the dog show?
@deepwoodslady I know, but I think you’re farther north? We’ll be in Marshall, at the fairgrounds.
@SheilaBoneham Yes, I am much much further north (northeast) from Marshall. Have a great time at the dog show. Wishing you and your friend much luck with your pups.2 -

@CamandJarvis u shared a while back that you were in a book club, & Atomic Habits was the next chosen book… Your thoughts?
So I really really like it. In the book, he mentioned Steve Kamb and NerdFitness, which I've been a part of for years. Steve references a lot of the same type of methods to make or break a habit Examples: to reduce mindless TV watching, unplug your TV or hide it in the closet. It takes so much more work to watch TV, you have to truly want to and it is much harder to be mindless or automatic about it. Or habit stacking - if you drink coffee every morning, maybe you set your book by the coffee pot so you can read a chapter while you drink coffee rather than scroll on your phone mindlessly. Even better if you put a time lock on social media or whatever so you can't access it when you'd normally be drinking coffee. If you can't scroll because of the lock and your book is right there then you're more likely to just read the dang book.
Unlike Steve (who is, indeed, a nerd and does dig into some details), James digs in a bit more and describes some of the science and the studies done - not so much is over your head, but just enough to understand "why" or "how". I unfortunately didn't quite finish the book before the meeting but I got far enough into it to get the basic idea of the 4 steps. I am about 70 pages from finishing and I do plan on finishing that up when I get a quiet moment.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback… So many of my challenges are from mindless bad or useless /meaningless habits… I’m working to identify them, and replace them with a “different”/ “better” habit… It seems simple, but any habit is difficult to break/change/improve. Especially negative thought patterns or the foods we eat…. It’s scary to think that 90% of what we do each day is not intentional… It’s habit! Thx again!
