    This round I am going to focus on not eating back exercise calories.

    SW Rnd 271: 164.9 lbs

    9/3: 164.2 lbs
    I got my smart scale to work again after I stopped doing what it was asking me to do and tried something different. Fairly good day although I am struggling to not eat my exercise calories.

    9/4: 164.7 lbs
    Crackers were my downfall.

    9/5: 162.9 lbs
    I actually managed to not eat my exercise calories. Not because of will power but because we ran out of crackers. The crackers are supposed to be for the kids but I tend to get into the "stuff it" mindset late in the day and eat them.

    🍎🍏🍎 SW Rnd 271: 135.0 🍎🍏🍎

    Time to get back to the basics that I know can work for me… logging, movement, water and limited snacks. Consistency matters!

    9/3: 135.0. I’ve been taking it easy due to some stitches on my calf that I don’t want to pop open. It’s time to ease back into a consistent routine! 9,100 steps. ✏️

    9/4. 134.2. Got a nice walk in, did some gardening and lots of housework. Was still a tad short on my water intake. 10,360 steps ✏️👣

    9/5. 134.8. Got a decent walk in plus some time at the gym. Also kept under my calorie goal and managed to hit my water goal! AND the insurance company is reimbursing us for our broken pipe under the house! Best news of the last month! 12,600 steps. ✏️👣💧🏋️‍♀️

    🎷 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.

    @musicsax Do you need some group brainstorming help to overcome your "struggles" that you mentioned?

    @judefit1 Travel and the scale can be enlightening. I remember way back (1980's), DH and I went to italy for 3 weeks. Dropped 7 lb right before going (127 down to 120). The first two weeks were like you describe, lots of traveling and good food with European portions, no binge snacking and walking most places. I gained nothing during those two weeks. The last week was spent with DH's extended family. EVERYONE needed to entertain us. There was one day we had to fit in TWO multi course dinners, in order to visit every home we needed to visit. Lots of sitting included in that week. Anyhow, I gained the full 7 lb back in that one week. Last year we did Scotland/amsterdam and I brought my travel scale. Lots of lovely food, but thoughtfully selected, and the scale reports were fine.

    @musicsax Do you need some group brainstorming help to overcome your "struggles" that you mentioned?

    @judefit1 Travel and the scale can be enlightening. I remember way back (1980's), DH and I went to italy for 3 weeks. Dropped 7 lb right before going (127 down to 120). The first two weeks were like you describe, lots of traveling and good food with European portions, no binge snacking and walking most places. I gained nothing during those two weeks. The last week was spent with DH's extended family. EVERYONE needed to entertain us. There was one day we had to fit in TWO multi course dinners, in order to visit every home we needed to visit. Lots of sitting included in that week. Anyhow, I gained the full 7 lb back in that one week. Last year we did Scotland/amsterdam and I brought my travel scale. Lots of lovely food, but thoughtfully selected, and the scale reports were fine.

    I've got myself into a can't be bothered mood, need a kick up the bum I think. Don't know why, I've got so many blessings to count, just in a need food in my mouth mode, come on get with the program!!

    @musicsax I can so totally relate. Very similarly, I put on almost 10 over the summer. I’m now getting a handle on the food, but still struggling to get the exercise in place.

    @Chapter_3 I think I need to use this to help me do “desk” work. I just always push it to last on the list- answering emails, billing clients, making appointments, organizing files. It just hangs over me. But really it takes very little to just do it and I always feel better.

    @_JeffreyD_: if you like mysteries, look for Donna Leon- she's an American writer who lives in Venice and her series of detective novels centered on Commisario Guido Brunetti are fun reads and give a good flavor of Venetian culture- they're short and you don't have to read in sequence.

    you may find at your library (mine has both digital and paper copies), but if not:

    R271 JGMTD #41

    Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
    #HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
    #helpfulhabits

    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
    📣#bestshapeofmylife

    👇🏻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)!!!!

    👇🏻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 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… !

    9/3 ⚖️132.0
    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.

    SW R271 = 132.0

    ✅🚶‍♀️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 #healthyhabits

    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. 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.

    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. [\spoiler]

    Thank you for the reminder… that thoughts are just thoughts. My brain often LIES to me too. She can be a troublemaker … she likes to invent stuff…
    Choosing to not stop for FF was a rememberable NSV yesterday. 👊🏻💪🏻

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

    Rnd 270 End Weight 170.6

    9/03- 171.2
    9/04- 169.0
    9/05- 169.0
    9/06- 168.6 There simply wasn’t food to shovel into my mouth hole. These days the kids call it living in “an ingredient household”. Meaning there aren’t snacks to just pick up and eat, if you’re hungry you have to actually make something. Like when you find yourself in front of the fridge eating a handful of shredded cheese because it’s the only “snack” in the house.
    DH loves to grocery shop and buys food he leaves on the counter to grab by the handful- nuts, crackers, chips, etc.
    All of his boxes and bags were empty yesterday so I simply ate my dinner when I was tired and hungry instead of adding in the extras.
    Could it be that simple? No way, I’m not a calorie saint! I might not bring it in the house but I am a vicious car snacker. I fight the devil on my shoulder every time I shop over what I could get to eat in the car on the way home.
    The food addiction is so real.

    @Skyleen75 I live in "“an ingredient household” as well, and this made me laugh outloud this morning: "Like when you find yourself in front of the fridge eating a handful of shredded cheese because it’s the only “snack” in the house." I know this too well!
