    7/25 ⚖️131.0
    My 37th round and will celebrate ONE YEAR of this challenge on 7/31! I’ll be crunched for time over the next few days because of family and stuff that rarely happens. Won’t be including my history, “July Level up” etc. until later this challenge (probably this weekend). I do plan to evaluate my year and create new aspirations moving forward. I’ll re-read my journal. I’m glad that 7/31 is my Anniversary and 8/1 is another FRESH NEW START. I have learned that each 10-day challenge is not a simple roll-over from the previous unless there is a conscious decision to make it one. After all, this is a 10-day challenge! It’s the opportunity to tweak the previous 10 days and re-commit to forming new habits. I’m really excited and thankful! Also, I am a totally 💯 different person than I was a year ago. If you would have asked me one year ago if I would do this …. Every 10 days… for one entire year, I honestly would have said no way would I do this for one whole year!!! But now, I 💯 would do it all over again! I never missed a day, I never stopped working on “Me”…. I’ve learned more than I can imagine… So for those just starting…… One day at a time, for 10-days WORKS! Good luck to all! And thanks for being REAL! I learn from EACH POST!

    7/26 ✅July Level Up but no reading or journal. P:E 1.4:1 Pg 125. Good day. Ate salad for first time in a year and won’t ever again. Leafy greens are my enemy. 🎾🏋️‍♀️. Family leaving today.

    7/27 ✅July Level Up however still no reading or journal but now that family left late yesterday, will get fully back on track. P:E 1.2:1 Pg 120. 🚶‍♀️10k

    ⚖️ The scale reflects four days of irregular schedule and total discombobulation. I give myself a B+ in nutrition. Looking forward to getting back in the groove!

    I will do at least one thing that challenges me big-time today. Step out of comfort zone. I’ll get a taste of what’s in my realm of capability…. Becoming #HSF

    Round 267
    July 25 – August 3, 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

    7/25 – 133.4 yesterday day and dinner went off without a hitch. After dinner was good, when about 9 pm came and oh man was it challenging. Anyhow, I resisted and got through. Completed 5 days eating on track. Exercise still not happening. I won’t bore you with the excuses.

    7/26 – 134.0 Uptick. I know that this is not due to calories eaten and has to be part of those small ebbs and flows that just happen. Yes, yesterday I did allow myself to eat something at 9 PM, BUT it was selected weighed and tracked, so I am OK with that. Even with those extra calories would not have exceeded my caloric needs for the day. Looks like I have made it through 7 days of thoughtful eating. I am under 135.0, which was looking like the new norm. Trying for 130 max by end of round 268.

    7/27 – 134.2 glad for tracking. I am ok with scale as I am trusting the accuracy of my tracking. This morning, fingers were stiff from packaged rice pilaf last night, and digestive system is not up to par. I am expecting it to shake out over the next few days. Tonight I am facing going out to dinner, so the sodium issue will repeat itself. I have looked at the menu and am pre-tracking my dinner. I am going to do my usual trick of ordering a nice appetizer as my entrée. I find that to be a happy compromise. I get a portion controlled delicious meal with none of the additional calories from the side dishes.

    @lisacantwell Congratulations for checking in here two days now! You can do this! This group is a fabulous support community!

    @RichardHaw I never thought about bad knees being genetic, but that does hold true for me as well. Both my parents had bad knees, but I had always chalked it up to the fact that we were a tennis family. I figured it was all those quick starts and stops that did in my knees. My weight loss is helping my knees too, but doc says I'll need them both replaced. I'm trying to put that off a while longer so I only have to do it once and not need it again at 75.

    7/25 169.4 Got in an outdoor walk between rain showers yesterday. The temperatures felt amazing all day, and we sure did need the rain!
    7/26 168 Walked between showers yesterday and also got in an exercise bike workout during the rain with DGD on her own exercise bike. We had so much fun together with that! It’ll be good for both of us because she has our genetic tendency to hold weight.
    7/27 168.8 Guess that’s the rebound after a pound and a half loss yesterday, because there’s no other explanation for it. It happens. Almost always. It’s fine. Was more active yesterday in activities with DGD and then got in a good walk in the evening too. Good day!

    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!

    7/26 - 197.4
    It’s DH’s birthday, so I’m taking him out for dinner. He wants fish, so I’ll be able to stay within bounds. I am baking him a cake, but I plan to give some of it away. 😊

    7/27 - 196.6
    I guess I did ok with lunch out yesterday. I did have birthday cake (red velvet with cream cheese frosting) last night, but it was essentially a “meal,” so my total calories were reasonable. I want to get out in my garden, but the Nextdoor neighbor is sitting outside smoking a stinky cigar and it turns my stomach. It’s an ongoing problem when he’s home in the summer. Luckily, he often cares for his little grandkids and doesn’t smoke in front of them. Anyway, my “gut” seems much better since I’ve stopped drinking coffee (waaa!) so I’m going to try a walk on the river greenway in a bit. Have a great Saturday!

    @deepwoodslady I still feel it isn’t “right” of your DD to place this temptation in your path.

    @quiltingjaine Okay, you got me! What is FUBAR?
    In regards to daughter, I agree. I mean, I know it is just her way. She actually carries her totes EVERYWHERE she goes. I think she got into the habit when DGS was small with diaper bag maybe (to hold his snacks?) I'm not sure, but she is so tiny that the bags are bigger than her! No, I don't need her pulling stuff out and offering it to me. Sometimes I'm strong and say no to her fancy chocolates. "No thanks, I have some dark cacao. I'll have a square of it later after dinner". etc. But when I'm going through these weak times, its rough. Time for another talk! I hate to deflate her, but I don't need to be INFLATED with calories and carbs!

    07/24 …..188.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

    07/25 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)

    07/26 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) Today is my usual no-weigh Friday. I was still off the rails yesterday so it’s just as well. In regards to Foodie daughter, is it okay to keep blaming her and her Mary Poppins endless tote bags of food during her 4 days per week here or should I be blaming myself when she doesn’t actually sit down on top of me and force it down my pie hole? Ah….truth hurts. I am coming to realize that I do wonderfully as long as I’m not around food. I am safe at home around food most of the time as it is carefully selected things I keep in my home. However, I am Horrible in travel, during holidays and occasions, and around other people when they eat. It is horrid. After all this time, I’ve gained resolve but absolutely no willpower or strength in my bid for more self-control. It’s a hard realization but an honest one. That Hershey bar of @quiltingjaine s, I would have licked the melted chocolate off the paper. No, it would have never made it to the freezer! Did I mention I’m not a child and I’m actually 64 years old? I’ve had a LIFETIME to gain a backbone. I’m having a lot of self-realization in a different light this morning. I hope these feelings last and help me move forward in a more positive and successful manner. Did I mention that my older friend who broke her hip and her pelvic (two different falls) has now fallen again and broke two vertebra in her back and also her pelvic again? I’m glad for the Friday morning Fosamax and hope it someday helps me better than it is helping her. Health is important, chocolate is not. It’s frivolous at my current weight and not very good for my diabetes either!

    07/27 -189.4- (Trend weight 189.2) Still trying to lose the bulk and bloat from travel. I started back on the water pill on orders of the cardiologist for a one week experiment. Daily this time instead of every-other-day. Lots of water shed yesterday until about 3:00 then nothing. I assume my weight was even higher before shedding. Today I am making a crock pot chicken parmesan dinner which is loaded with pasta. I will make today an OMAD day, sticking to very low carb liquids during the day (broth, black coffee, water) to offset the damage although I know I will probably eat some approved snacks later tonight. It’s an easy meal for the whole group and something I’ve been craving. I’m trying to show myself that I can have the things I crave if I fit it into my day properly and eat in the correct portions. On keto I was eating less than 20 carbs per day. Now I am keeping it at under 100 which makes it totally different than before. This allows so many more foods and now that I can eat them at a higher level (carbs), I need to learn to control it. Much different than avoiding it altogether. Tweaking, Tweaking…..
