Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 272

musicsax

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 272 (my 202nd). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

This round will be a challenge as we are on holiday in Spain for the whole 10 days, eating in the hotel for 2 meals per day & not being in control of food preparation is always difficult to calculate calories. I CAN do it again if I remain strong.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to try not to gain!
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 DP's 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.

About Me & R272 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 115g to 120g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 128- 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

9/13 131.4 Awful sleep last night. Bummer.
I feel like I’m on one of those bouncy gyms!
Solid day w/ 14k steps. Will spend today in reflection, prayer and creating the determined mindset for #HSF. I will start to actively show myself some TLC. I 💯 know that when I’m off-kilter it’s related to my sleep patterns…. I’m tired. And when I’m tired, I lose pretty much all of my joy. Today will be a slow start but I’ll get with it! Let’s do this yall!

#HSF mindset engaged. Focusing on personal integrity and the process. (Keep my word to myself with ZERO excuses!) I will do this for 10 days!

Wonderful day yesterday! My “Epiphany” gave me energy and direction.

My little bodybuilder 🏋️‍♀️emoji represents functional strength training… Not full traditional weight lifting, although I incorporate 10, 15 and 20 lb weights. I also focus on using my own body weight and calisthenics. Will fine-tune these exercises. I’m good with my current macros and PE ratio commitments although will lower fatg a bit - Looking forward!

P:E 1.1:1, P 105g 🎾. 🚫🏋️‍♀️ for a rest day.

My body truly needs to be dedicated to science. I had a perfect day yesterday I have no clue about this scale this morning. On the one hand Im pissed - on the other hand, totally flummoxed and oh geez…. What can I learn from this? I am learning about my body, and I still have no clue after an entire year!. The only thing I can think of is that I went to sleep much later than usual and ate 2oz of cheese around 8pm. Slept like 💩. I do know my body is super sensitive so let’s see what today brings! If I can gain 2 lbs+ in one day WITHOUT REASON maybe I can lose 2lbs+ in one day! 🤣

Today: Bring it on!

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

9/16: wonderful day yesterday with family. My bother directed us with the more physical work and we got lots done. I haven’t seen my son since last January and that’s the 1st time (and last, I hope) we’ve been apart that long. He’s starting his last year of school for a major career change and is in the best place I’ve ever seen him. So, whatever my weight is tomorrow AM, I’ll just deal with it- this round is about reconnecting and recalibrating.

Round 272
Sept 13 – 22, 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!

SW: 134.8

Day/Weight/Comment

9/13 – 135.6 This actually really annoys me. Calories were within 1 calorie of target, and there was even a little over estimating that I went ahead an left. I did do upper body weights for the first time in years, but no notable muscle soreness that might have associated fluid retention. As previously mentioned, my nutritional profile is different than in the past rounds, and I am taking some supplements with an eye to bone health. I’ll give it the full round 272 doing what I am doing before spending time changing what I am doing as IMO it will work.

9/14 – 134.8 Ok, at least I am back to where I started. Digestive system feeling better today. I need to go look back at yesterday’s diary and see what I did

9/15 – 135.6 Did everything I should yesterday. Got in nice exercise. Tracked everything. Did not cross my calories or eat back my exercise. BUT I did notice overnight that I had tightness in my fingers. That often correlates to sodium.

Yesterday, I went to the mall for a bit. I just never find “me” time much for me these days. There is a constant list of undone tasks hanging over my head. This has also been my excuse for poor exercise habits. Gotta sort this all out and make life work better. Back to the point though, I enjoyed doing some “me” time even though clothing did not look as I hoped. But that did clarify that I want to get back to where I was just months ago.

9/16 – 134.0 Now this number reflects my actions. Yay!

Coincidentally, I read something telling on Reddit. I get notifications from a supplement group there and someone wrote in that they were have consequences of too much magnesium. IYKYK and they were asking how to fix. One commend was that the “antidote” to magnesium is calcium. And calcium is certainly what I have been suspecting is related to my slow digestive issues.

Did a little bit of seated dumbbell exercises while watching TV last night, but not enough to give myself credit. But it was an interesting idea going forward.

SW RND 272: 135.0
GW RND 272: 133.5 (dare I set this goal? I think I can do it if I stay focused)
UGW: 125 and evaluate from there
Non-scale goals for round 272 (tracked for the prior day each morning):
🏃🏻‍♀️(cardio) or 🏋🏻‍♀️ (lift) 7/10 days
🚫 no alcohol 5/10 days
📝 track 6/10 days
⏱️ intermittent fasting (16:8) 7/10 days

9/13 - 134.2 🏃🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️ ⏱️ Set some extra goals for this round. Not starting too ambitious yet but these things should help me stay on track. I did drink yesterday and failed to track my intake. But I went for a run and lifted weights at least! I didn’t snack at least. Today I’ll just power walk the dogs, and my 3 year old asked me to e-bike him to school, so I did. That’s very light cardio but it’s more than I get while driving!

9/14 - 132.8 🏃🏻‍♀️⏱️ Didn’t make many of my non-scale goals. I’ve always been a procrastinator 😅 My loss today is at least partially dehydration due to alcohol. I drank more than I’d planned when a friend popped by after dinner. Ugh. Not sure what activity will be today but I’m hoping to squeeze something in around kid activities!

9/15 - 134.8 📝 Phew, so many calories at dinner at our friends’ house. Just realized I forgot to track the wine, and I’m already at 1100 calories for dinner alone 🫣 I didn’t get a workout in yesterday beyond ebiking the kids around. Today we’ll go on a family hike. It won’t be much but I’ll count it.

9/16 - 134.8 📝🏃🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🚫⏱️ First day I’ve hit all of my non-scale goals! I stayed baaarely within calories but I felt like I was back on track with my goals. DH is definitely a bad influence but I can overcome his attempts to derail me, haha. What I can’t comprehend is his saying he’s overweight and he needs to fix it and he knows it’s his eating, but he carries on without making a change. It’s clear to me that he sometimes feels offended when I make a different eating choice from him but I wish he would channel that energy differently. It isn’t going to get easier as we age. Each time I restart it gets harder. Anyway I’ll just try to keep progressing toward my goal and maybe he’ll get inspired. He can’t do it if he doesn’t genuinely want to. Today I’m going to take the dogs on a walk/run for my activity. I already know I’m making instant pot chicken adobo for dinner so I can plan my lunch accordingly.

9/13 163.6 This uptick was not because of food, but I’m not sure where it did come from. Oh, the games our bodies play when we are trying to lose weight!
9/14 163.8 Not much exercise because our water heater was out and had to be replaced.
9/15 163.6 Got in a good, sweaty walk to the beach yesterday to offset some vacation foods. Hot water now, so showers aren’t painful!
9/16 163.8 Another wonderful walk yesterday out to the beach, down the beach, and back. Expected a drop this morning, but in light of the fact that all meals are prepared in restaurants while we are here, I’ll take a holding pattern.Trying to push proteins and water to offset some of the salt and higher carbs. We fly home tomorrow. But I’ll miss the great place we have to walk here.

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 191.0

09/14 -192.8- (Trend weight 191.5 )

09/15 -193.2- (Trend weight -191.6-) I will often eat out of boredom or because of intense cravings. I don’t think I usually eat my emotions. Or do I? Wow, it was clear yesterday that was Exactly what I was doing. A wasted day and a wasted opportunity to make a dent in my goals. Humph.

09/16-193.6- (Trend weight -191.8-) Another emotional day that I didn’t end up handling well food-wise. No sleep last night, no TMI. Nothing seems to be going right. It can only get better from here!

Day/Weight/Trend Weight/Comment

9/13 - 198.2/198
This uptick of 1.8 in one day makes absolutely no sense. I’m officially depressed about it.

9/14 - 198/197.9
I did some “consolation eating” last night. Not too bad, but more than optimum. I’ll do better today.

9/15 - 197.4/197.8
Nothing much to report. Have a lovely Sunday, all!

9/16 - 197.4/197.6
Other than 10 Triscuits last night, I did well all day.

This round I am going to focus on the basics: eating within my calorie budget and exercising every day.

Round 272 SW: 162.7 lbs

9/13: 163.8 lbs
If I am honest, I am not even trying to lose weight. Only half the family was home for dinner so I made pancakes! I have never served up such an unhealthy dinner. Reading the latest comments from this round is helping me refocus. Thank you to everyone who shows up everyday and posts here.

9/14: 163.6 lbs
It was pizza night and I stuck to my calorie budget. I ate carrots with my pizza to slow my eating down and it seemed to have worked. I didn't eat any leftovers afterwards like I usually do.

9/15: 163.6 lbs
The kids made apple crumble which of course was near impossible for me to turn down. So I ate at maintenance for the day.

9/16: 162.5 lbs
Ate within calorie budget and exercised.
