    I'm Julie, 35 years old, 5'3, SAHM to toddler twins.

    RSW: 157.4

    9/3: 157.5
    9/4: 156.1
    9/5: 156.0.
    9/6: 155.9.

    9/9: 158.0.

    9/10: 157.8. Food was okay, but not great. I did a short walk as well as 30 minutes walk/run on the treadmill. Also did some yoga and a short calisthenics circuit.

    Previous Days' Summaries
    9/3: 157.5. I had a good day yesterday. Ate within calories (including some veggies!) and went to the gym for a short run and some walking on the treadmill. I've been trying to increase water intake, I'm going to start tracking that as well. I'm also lowering my calorie goal a little. What I'm doing now doesn't seem to be working

    9/4: 156.1. Finally a drop! It's a relief to see, as I feel like I am doing everything right, and honestly, don't know how much more I can realistically do. I'm going to keep doing what I am doing and hopefully it will continue to drop. I ate within my calories and went for a run.

    9/5: It was a good day for me. I ate well and did some intentional exercise. I went to the gym to run on the treadmill again. Although it's only been a few days, it's beginning to feel more like a routine, more normal kind of. I also went for a couple of small walks, as the heat allowed. I'm looking forward to the weather cooling off a bit soon so I can get outside more.

    9/6: I'm so happy to see a downward trend. I was getting a little frustrated with lack of results, but I'm glad I trusted the process and kept pushing through. I also think running has helped, I'm wondering if I was eating around maintenance, and the few extra calories burned helped push me into a deficit. Yesterday, I went on one short walk as well as the walk and 2 mile run on the treadmill.

    9/7: I'm still trusting the process. I did nothing "wrong" yesterday, so this is just fluctuation. Now on to the weekend... and all of the challenges of making healthy choices that come with it. I hope everyone has a good weekend!

    9/8: Yesterday wasn't a great day, but I think it was okay. I was really thirsty for some reason, so I of course drank more water, and I don't think I have shed all of the excess yet. Calories were slightly higher than usual, but still accounted for, and my exercise calories covered it. I also ended the day with one beer which I haven't been doing lately.

    9/9: I'm not sure why my weight is creeping up right now. Maybe a bit of constipation, maybe hormonal reasons. I really feel like I've been doing everything I should be doing lately, but the numbers aren't reflecting it. I hope that the number on the scale will catch up to my efforts soon. [\spoiler]

    @quiltingjaine If yours is like mine, the Hershey bar is a gift of love, and he doesn’t understand how hard this is. I don’t think my DH even notices whether I’m thin or fat, and he has very little nutritional knowledge, or interest since he’s always been thin.

    EXACTLY! He even told me the Hershey bar was a reward for enduring the 4 weeks between crown prep and crown delivery.


    Your sweater is beautiful!

    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

    Comments pertain to previous day

    SW RND 271 132.0
    9/3 132.5 Yesterday’s picnic was a SUGAR STORM! The pulled pork had been liberally doused with extremely sweet sauce. There were baked beans (also sweet) and watermelon. I had some pork with lettuce leaves. For dessert they had cookies. I intended to drink a protein shake before we went but time got away from me. I ate cookies, super sweet pork, and lettuce.
    9/4 131.5 Went to Jesse Rae’s BBQ and had REAL pulled pork seasoned with dry rub and smoked, not cooked in sweet sauce. Had my protein shake for dessert, 2 me made jalapeño poppers early. On a side note - we live about 8 miles south of Nellis AFB and I LOVE to hear “the boys” flying. The walls virtually rattle in the proper weather/wind condtions. I’ve had to re-order taking my supplements due to the new to me bone support recommended by retired RN neighbor. It is to be taken away from calcium so I’m taking it when I get up and when I go to bed and taking everything else about 4 hours later in the morning and earlier in the evening.
    9/5 133.0 Well, I thought that weight yesterday might be a dream but . . . Wow! Today we’re going to dinner at Golden Corral with friends (their choice) Just stay on the roller coaster and ride. My email was hacked on Monday and it has taken this long to get access! Wouldn’t you think facial recognition and fingerprint would be enough to prove I’m me?
    9/6 133.0 Busy day ahead. Why does everyone want to go out to eat with us before we leave on Tuesday? We’ll be gone less than 2 weeks not for months. Golden Corral yesterday even though my stomach didn’t feel good. At least I didn’t make a pig of myself.
    9/7 133.0 My stomach feels better and I kept eating in line. I need to put the RS SF candies out of sight but they do seem to have kept things moving! I looked up our flight info and they have changed it. Now leaving earlier and no layover in Dallas, and we arrive in Tulsa 4 hours earlier! @_JeffreyD_ I am relating to your “10# of stuff in a 5# bag” remark.
    9/8 133.5 Ate a slice of sourdough, 2 hot dogs (not all beef) and Brussels sprouts. No protein shake.
    9/9 133.0 My plan is to drink the 2 shakes I have mixed in the fridge. DH will be on his own.
    9/10 134.0 @4AM No explanation except that it’s so early. We’re flying to OK for 9 days. DD doesn’t have internet so my posting may be nonexistent.

    UGW-150, then 140
    RGW-159 Thank you @quiltingjaine !!!🌸

    9/8-168-Weeken food bloat. Lots of yard work.
    9/9-DNW-We got 3 raised garden beds up and filled and trenched for the water line. Pretty sore after that.
    9/10-166-Off to meet some quilting ladies, I am just going to bring fabric to cut out. It is FINALLY cooling off and my potted plants will enjoy that. I can also go visit the horse whenever I want since it will be cooler.

    Day. Weight/Trend. Comments.

    9/04 - 197.4/197.4
    Crazy weekend, but I’m back on track today.

    9/05 - 198/197.7
    Or not. 😡🥲😳 This bump is from previous days, but still… Well, I can’t change the past, so I’d better focus on right now.

    9/06 - 197.6/197.7
    Food was fine yesterday. I just feel defeated but fat. And I know I should stop whining, and I’ll try. Tomorrow. 🙂

    9/07 - 198.8/198.1
    What? Has to be water, although I don’t know why that would be. My calories yesterday were 1345, so that’s not it. Just bizarre.

    9/08 - 199/198.8
    I gave in to an emotional snackfest yesterday—lots of salt—and dinner was heavier and saltier than usual, so I’m sad about the uptick, but not devastated. That said, I talked to DH about our incompatible food tolerances (meaning he can eat anything and stay thin and I balloon if I look at it) and told him I just can’t continue this way. Conversation isn’t finished, but basically I think we need to make our own meals for a while. He can happily eat all the pasta and butter he wants and I can NOT eat his food. We eat most of our meals together on his very consistent schedule, and that clearly isn’t working for me. Anyway, I’m going to make a big pot of veggie soup today and freeze a bunch so I can pull out and nuke it when I want. I’m also trying again to get back to my long walks, as I think my gut has settled down a bit. I have to stop feeling defeated.

    9/09 - 199.2/198.7
    I did better yesterday, but still up from the day before. I considered, first, not weighing, then lying, but what would be the point of that? Anyway, I’m starting my good breakfast/no lunch experiment today for a while to see if it makes a difference. In the meantime, I’m getting ready for sweater weather—finished knitting this one last week and thought I’d share. I’m turning knitting into a reward—I have to walk at least half an hour or I’m not allowed to knit.

    9/10 - 198.6/198.8
    I got my flu and Covid shots this morning—nice to feel updated. Day two of my good breakfast/no lunch experiment. I need to come up with some interesting breakfasts!

    09/02 …..192.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

    09/03 -192.0- (Trend weight -191.6-)

    09/04 -190.8- (Trend weight -191.5-)

    09/05 -190.8- (Trend weight -191.4-)

    09/08 -189.6- (Trend weight-190.9-)

    09/09 -191.0- (Trend weight-190.9-) I normally fluctuate both up and down by about a pound-and-a-half each time there is a change so this is par for the course when I haven’t had the best day. I was served up a lot of stress and depression yesterday and food was my chaser. Ridiculous! I felt like an out of control child. Today is my travel day. I will be home and post tomorrow evening/night. I expect another gain but will work on it the rest of the week. I always say that sometimes I “give in” but I never “give up”. I’m a bit like the Unsinkable Molly Brown. Looking on the bright side, I am still down from start weight in this moment.! Wishing you all a great week filled with lots of SVs and NSVs.

    09/10 -DNW- (Trend weight-DNW-) Home late from trip. No scale at hotel this morning. I will likely not weigh in tomorrow to give myself a buffer from the trip, but I will check in.

    09/11 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    09/12 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 271 (my 201st). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

    Not proud of my past record of continual cycle of good few days followed by days of binge and scrambling to recover, still not doing very well, I CAN do it again if I remain strong.
    Goals for this round;
    • First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
    • to lose!
    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.

    Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
    This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to over indulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so jeopardize that luck.

    @pezhed: Hi! Fortunately I am very far away from the Gulf Coast, near NYC. But @Chapter_3 is right in the thick of it, so I'm passing your good wishes to her!

    @SheilaBoneham: your work makes me think of my mom, who did intricate, beautifully made sweaters like you- so impressive! I know what that takes. She tried to teach me but I didn't have the patience nor the skill for anything so complex. The person who gets to wear it is very lucky!

    @judefit1 and @Chapter_3 i just saw a post on FB from Denis Phillips, a really great Tampa weather guy who doesn’t overreact to hurricanes but instead offers calm and pertinent advice on what to do. I copied this for you. I don’t know where you are exactly in the path of Francine, but you may find some of this helpful.

    For our family and friends in Louisiana, this is a list that many people are finding helpful.
    1. Charge any device that provides light. Laptops, tablets, cameras, video cameras, and old phones. Old cell phones can still used for dialing 911. Charge external battery backups. ( Glow sticks also provide light for a few hours. Stand them upright in a glass or jar to make a lantern.)
    2. Wash all trash cans, big and small, and fill them with water for flushing toilets. Line outdoor trash cans with trash bags, fill them with water, and store them in the garage. Add bleach to sterilize.
    3. Fill every tub and sink with water. Cover sinks with Saran Wrap to keep it from collecting dust. Fill the washing machine and leave the lid up to store water.
    4. Fill old empty water bottles and other containers with water and keep them near sinks for washing hands.
    5. Fill every Tupperware with water and store in the freezer. These will help keep food cold longer and serve as a backup water supply.
    6. Fill drinking cups with water and cover with Saran Wrap. Store as many as possible in the fridge. The rest you can store on the counter and use first before any water bottles are opened. Ice is impossible to find after the storm.
    7. Reserve fridge space for storing tap water and keep the sealed water bottles on the counter.
    8. Cook any meats in advance and other perishable foods. You can freeze cooked food. Hard boil eggs for snacks for first day without power.
    9. Be well hydrated before the storm hits and avoid salty foods that make you dehydrated.
    10. Wash all dirty clothes and bed sheets. Anything dirty will smell without the A/C, you may need the items, and with no A/C, you'll be sweating a lot. You're going to want clean sheets.
    11. Toss out any expired food, clean cat litter boxes, and empty all trash cans in the house, including bathrooms. Remove anything that will cause an odor when the A/C is off. If you don't have a trash day pickup before the storm, find a dumpster.
    12. Bring in any yard decor, secure anything that will fly around, secure gates, bring in hoses, potted plants, etc. Bring in patio furniture and grills.
    13. Clean your environment so you have clear, easy escape routes. Even if that means temporarily moving furniture to one area.
    14. Scrub all bathrooms so you are starting with a clean odor-free environment. Store water-filled trash cans next to each toilet for flushing.
    15. Place everything you own that is important and necessary in a backpack or small file box that is easy to grab. Include your wallet with ID, phone, hand sanitizer, snacks, etc. Get plastic sleeves for important documents.
    16. Make sure you have cash on hand.
    17. Stock up on pet food and fill up bowls of water for pets.
    18. Refill any medications. Most insurance companies allow for 2 emergency refills per year.
    19. Fill your propane tanks. You can heat soup cans, boil water, make coffee, and other stuff besides just grilling meat. Get an extra, if possible.
    20. Drop your A/C in advance and lower temperatures in your fridges.
    21. Gather all candles, flashlights, lighters, matches, batteries, and other items and keep them accessible.
    22. Clean all counters in advance. Start with a clean surface. Buy Clorox Wipes for cleaning when there is no power. Mop your floors and vacuum. If power is out for 10 days, you'll have to live in the mess you started with.
    23. Pick your emergency safe place such as a closet under the stairs. Store the items you'll need in that location for the brunt of the storm. Make a hand fan for when the power is out.
    24. Shower just before the storm is scheduled to hit.
    25. Keep baby wipes next to each toilet. Don't flush them. It's not the time to risk clogging your toilet!
    26. Run your dishwasher, don't risk having dirty smelly dishes and you need every container for water! Remember you'll need clean water for brushing your teeth, washing yourself, and cleaning your hands.
    27. Put a small suitcase in your car in case you decide to evacuate. Also, put at least one jug of water in your car. It will still be there if you don't evacuate! Remember to pack for pets as well.
    28. Check on all family members, set up emergency backup plans, and check on elderly neighbors.
    29. Remember, pets are family too. Take them with you!
    30. Before the storm, unplug all electronics. There will be power surges during and after the storm.
    31. Gas up your car and have a spare gas container for your generator or your car when you run out.
    32 . Use plastic cups and paper plates. 👍 You need water to wash dishes....👎
    33 . Also if you run out of water tap your hot water heater it can have up to 30 gallons stored in there.
    34 . Put water in balloons and store it in the freezer.
    35 . If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown Flush it down!💩
    If you can, take a video of your house and contents....walk room to room--open cabinets/drawers and closets. This will help if you need to make a claim later. It will show proof of items and help you list all the items (help your memory, so you don't forget anything)...I highly recommend it!!!
    I also heard you should freeze a cup of water, and place a coin on top after it is frozen...keep this in your freezer to help you gauge the temperature if the power goes out. If the coin stays on top, the food is staying frozen. If the coin falls into the water, the freezer thawed out and most food will likely need to be thrown away. This is super helpful is you have to leave and come back, as it may appear everything is still frozen, but if the coin is in the cup--you will know!!

    Rule #7 And for those asking, that means "Don't freak out unless I'm freaking out..we're fine". Whatever comes our way, we've got this as long as we stay informed and prepared.

    Sorry, everyone else. I just really
    want them to have this info.

    Hi everyone, not sure how the confusion started, but I live near NYC! Thanks for posting the rules though, we've had our share of hurricanes where I am (coastal NJ)

    @Chapter_3 is near Baton Rouge and most vulnerable, so good wishes to her...

    Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.

    About Me & R271 Commitments:
    ********************************
    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. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.

    HW 172lbs in 2010. Lost 30lbs in 2014. Crazy🎢 for 10years. Joined JGMTD R231 7/31/23. Lost 15lbs 8/1 -11/23. Said goodbye FOREVER to the 🎢! I’ve named my journey #HSF
    & On my way to

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

    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)!!!!

    ******************

    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 120g 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… !

    OK I’m confused, but I will record today as my first day of this round and I’m not sure when it ends but I will go with the flow.

    Will reflect today and set R271 action plan.(I thought today was the last day R270 so I’ll make sure I’m all in by tomorrow!)

    My goals for this 10-day round are to return to routine, MFP tracking, #HSF mindset, sleep well, 1.5:1 P:E ratio, 🏋️‍♀️📚🚶‍♀️10k. R270 was a blur…. I want R271 to have focus/meaning. We all know when we have a great, satisfying round and I want that again… My last two rounds have been drifters! Let’s do this! 💪🏻

    9/4 ⚖️130.0
    ✅🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️💦📚💤 P:E 1.8:1 Protein= 127g
    Back on routine yesterday! ⚖️Uptick from long weekend vanished. Started the day with 🚶‍♀️5 mile &🏋️‍♀️. 💦& MFP tracking. I had somewhat of an internal battle of wanting to take another day off but made up my mind early to make yesterday a solid jumpstart. Affirmations and keeping my mind CLEAN with positive thoughts made the difference. Today: I have early 🎾 and will track all measures. MFP routine tracking provides the structure I need to stay focused.

    9/5⚖️ 130.2
    ✅🚶‍♀️7k🏋️‍♀️10 min 💦📚💤 7, P:E 1.2:1 Protein= 126g
    Did not hit 🚶‍♀️10k…. 🎾1 1/2 hrs Opted to watch USOpen all afternoon/night. Could’ve 🏋️‍♀️more…. Rain next two days (all day). Focus: 💦🏋️‍♀️📚 and catch-up around the house.

    9/6 ⚖️130.8
    ✅🚶‍♀️13k🏋️‍♀️22 min 📚💤 7, P:E .7-1 Protein= 139g
    Missed my protein ratio goal for the first time in months… My husband prepared some beautiful organic jasmine rice and I enjoyed a bowl. Calories in check, but macros off… Ate dinner several hrs later than usual yesterday… therefore off routine 😔. Started my day squeezing in 5 mile walk just before the rain started followed by🏋️‍♀️. Finished house work then took it easy remainder of day watching the U.S. Open.

    I definitely ate “more” than usual yesterday, and did not drink enough 💦… will be more mindful/intentional today.

    Today: I’ll find a “dry” window to walk… And will CHOOSE a healthy mindset. When motivation wains, choose self-discipline.

    9/7 ⚖️132.0
    ✅🚶‍♀️7k🏋️‍♀️30min 💤 8, P:E 1.2:1 Protein= 119g

    I am obsessing over the scale. I know it’s just information but the information I’m receiving is a tad-bit frustrating.

    I started thinking about my “most recent” 15lb+ gain. I realized I gained those 15lbs over 18 months eating what one would consider not to be “unhealthy or over the top”. I also played a LOT of tennis during that time… Portion control has always been my issue, not sweets or binging… just really loving good food. If I wasn’t playing tennis and burning 500 cal from daily exercise, maybe I would’ve gained 25lbs!!! By simply eating the standard American diet… (SAD).

    For women, our body absolutely changes as we age. Everyone’s body is different so I won’t say it’s pre-menopausal or post or anywhere between or after because it’s different for everyone…

    My body definitely changed around age 62. I kept eating, and doing the same as always, but the weight gain happened.

    I wish I had learned that when you reach that point when your body makes that huge metabolic shift, you must eat less and lift weights and move more to simply maintain… I wish someone had TOLD me that cardio is secondary to 🏋️‍♀️….

    What is my point to this ramble? I personally believe that if you are not losing weight right now, you are simply eating too many calories… I believe all the charts grossly overstate minimum calorie requirements.

    The past few months I’ve been averaging 1300 - 1400 cal per day, which seems like I should be maintaining or loosing…. But in reality, I’ve gained 2 to 3 pounds. What does this tell me? I don’t know yet… I feel good, my clothes look great…. But the scale bothers the *kitten* out of me.

    A lifetime of wanting to weigh 130lbs consistently …. So why does TWO freaking pounds bothering me so much?

    So that is my ramble… It just means that I’m not to that place of TRUE #HSF because I become deflated when the scale fluctuates… If I was truly #HSF the scale would be neutral… just a fact.

    It also means that I have some form of mental deformity when TWO FREAKING POUNDS blow my mind.

    No hugs needed… It is what it is… That lifetime struggle/challenge with the scale STILL exists. The bogeyman is still in the closet! I will definitely fake it till I make it.

    Today: 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️📚💦 ENJOY!
    Onward!

    PS I truly don’t want to offend anyone because I know many are struggling with significant health issues & weight loss goals…. My point in sharing is that there’s no magic treasure when you “reach your goal” … For me, TODAY, I must make minute by minute decisions… Some days are better than others… Some weeks are better than others… and so TODAY will be another DECISION /will power day. Same as you.

    9/8 ⚖️131.0
    ✅🚶‍♀️9k🏋️‍♀️15min 💤 8, 💦 P:E 1.5:1 Protein= 90g (low)
    🎾 yesterday & today. I’ve been sleeping well for a few weeks now which really helps with energy, attitude and discipline. I’m simply a happier gal with a great nights sleep! Continue to practice mindfulness and gratefulness. Embrace this day with a #HSF identity, gladness and opportunity. Walk the walk.

    9/9 ⚖️ 132.0
    ✅🚶‍♀️10k🏋️‍♀️20min 💤 8hrs, 💦, P:E 1.1:1 Protein = 110g

    Started my day super positive. Beautiful morning - did my functional training 🏋️‍♀️ & stretching outside. So nice… two-hr tennis match…. Perfect nutrition. 10k 🚶‍♀️Positive attitude /mindset. Grateful.

    Settling into 1-2lb daily fluctuations as a new norm?

    9/10 132.8 pushing 133! Weighed @ 3am so not sure about accuracy….
    ✅🚶‍♀️8k🏋️‍♀️💤 6hrs, 💦, P:E 1.1:1 Protein = 110g

    Past few days eating about 20g less protein, a few more complex carbs (10-20g) and more fat (20-30g) hence P:E ratio has declined…. but still 1:1. Will shift to more lean protein and less fat. My CICO still on target…. so a little perplexed…. Perhaps some “system” issues? Calories still avg 1400ish… (burning 800ish) so the math just isn’t “mathing”. 🧐. Also, past two nights sleep isn’t optimal. Watched a few inspirational/insightful videos yesterday - feeling more “present”.

    NSV: No panic here, just a little more macro tweaking ahead. I sincerely enjoy figuring out my one & only 65yr-young self.

    DGS (10) starting to keep a journal of his workouts. He wants to win his after-soccer practice race! (A loop around the field). I love that he is paying attention to his body/skills and realizing with a little hard work and discipline he can improve his physicality!

    🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️planned for this morning. Final prep for Hurricane Francine today. Onward!
