Achieved my daily goals. Last round I achieved my daily goals on 8/10 days. This round I am going to try for 10/10.
9/24: 162.2 lbs
Didn't exercise because I didn't plan my day out well enough. Stuck to my calories though.
9/25: 162.7 lbs
Achieved my daily goals. The family had chocolate and cookies yesterday and I decided to have none. I did think of having one square of chocolate but I thought that would just unleash the chocovore in me and I would finish the whole lot. I wish I could be able to have just one square.
9/26: 163.1 lbs
Achieved my daily goals. Had a curry for dinner and I think the salt is bloating me up.
9/27: 162.5 lbs
Achieved my daily goals. I have been feeling like I haven't made much progress lately but when I look at my graphs the trend line is still trending down slightly.
9/28: 162.9 lbs
Achieved my goals even though it was pizza night.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 273 (my 203rd). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Home again after a really lovely 10 days in Spain. 4 pounds gained
, need to lose this before I travel in 3 weeks to Turkey to visit DB.
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 overindulge, 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 I must not jeopardize that luck.

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.

👇🏻Oct Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Oct:
1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and kcals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan. 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 12+ 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 130g 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… !

9/23 ⚖️131.0 - starting back after a 48 hr bug - sleep, sleep & more sleep. Feeling lethargic sipping my coffee but will WILL myself to a “can do will do” attitude today. Not sure yet what exactly after two days in bed, but will re-enter #HSF as best as I can. 💦💦💦, Short 🚶♀️this morn, DGS this afternoon, & somehow I will play tennis tonight.
Welcome to our new “JGMTD” journeymen & good luck to all. May all of us embrace & enjoy doing the hard stuff!

P:E 1:1, P 97g
Solid day getting back …
NSV: exchanged my closet from spring/summer to fall/winter… Always an “experience” to try on clothes from previous season to see how they fit & feel…. I’d say this season’s annual closet shift was up there with the best in 10 years! Three bags to goodwill. Getting rid of clothes that not only don’t fit but just need to go…. too much clutter. More today. Thankful.
9/25 133.4🎢
🚶♀️12k, 💦, 🎾💤8 📚
P:E 1:1, P 109g (under)
⚖️wowza… woke up super puffy. No TMI, still out of sync from illness. Will trust. No over eating but yes, a slow creep/ change in routine /foods & portions ….yesterday I enjoyed a HUGE homemade egg salad sandwich (Primal Mayo) on whole wheat sourdough bread my hubby gets from local bakery. Chicken breast last night but ate later than usual. And, my protein is averaging down… Need to pick that up. Water has been ok.
Definitely a change to “what/when” I’m eating but no indulgence. Need to go back to “one ingredient” at least for the rest of this round and 💦🏋️♀️.
👆🏻This, as I’m sitting across from my husband writing this, who can literally put ANYTHING into his mouth and still be razor thin. (And not too thin… Simply perfect!)
Thoughts: There’s no denying an uptick over the last 2-3 rounds with crazy swings. No real 🏋️♀️in over a week (sick). I’ll spend some time this morning planning out the round with exact foods, 🚶♀️5mi, 🏋️♀️💦📚. No tennis today or tomorrow.
This👆🏻 I recognize & embrace as my lifelong journey, and why I am here.
NSV: Still beaming over my time with my grandson yesterday. I see a positive shift in his maturity and self-initiative. He took out a piece of paper from his backpack and showed me his workout routine that he created… Told me he will work on it 5x week. Last night I got a text from my son - DGS skipped the video games & did his routine! Small steps.

What goes up without reason must come down without reason. I’m still curious re:big swings. Single, whole food ingredients yesterday. I opted out of 🚶♀️to go to the grocery for the weekend & a leisurely look & label reading. Poison, poison, poison. The 💩 in our grocery stores/foods = literal poison.
🚫🏋️♀️🚶♀️. Slept great last night. Today: will prioritize🚶♀️🏋️♀️. Meeting old friend for breakfast. Spending another afternoon with DGS.

P:E .9:1, P 103g
Focused 🏋️♀️. 🚫🚶♀️. Spent way too much time with my friend & errands. Enjoyable time with DGS.
Funny story: placed grass-fed, chuck roast in oven… Three hours into it I realized I forgot the bone broth. Shoe leather. Last-minute decision to go out for sushi… Mostly sashimi but a few rolls, and then a scoop of ice cream. I was expecting a 2 to 3lb gain on the scale but basically NC… My body is a mystery.
Today: prioritize 🚶♀️10k steps, 🎾🏋️♀️. Single ingredient, whole food only. 💦
9/28 131.4
🚶♀️10k, 🏋️♀️15 min 💦, 💤8
P:E .1:1, P 115g
Solid day. Slipped up for dinner because I went to a pregame football party assuming grilled hamburgers or beef would be served … Instead, small plate of grits and grillades & an oatmeal cookie! I could have perhaps eaten beforehand, but was running short of time. Life happens!
It truly is a heck of a lot easier to lose weight vs maintain because with maintenance, deep inside I feel like I have wiggle room, but the slippery slope is always there lurking! I sincerely doubt I did any damage last night but it’s the “skid” that I’m living to avoid. So easy to forget, I had sushi & ice cream Thursday night and then last night a cookie….
I must constantly remind myself I want 130lbs and #HSF !
Today and tomorrow will bothbe temptation-free days.

Round 273
Sept 23 – Oct 2,, 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: 135.0
Day/Weight/Comment
9/23 – 134.4 Still not back to where I was like 5 days ago. Anyhow, yesterday, calories were spot on. Not much else to add.
9/24 – 134.0 A rarity. I don’t have much to comment. :P
9/25 – 133.0 I could tell from my “early morning routine” that the scale would be acceptable. Due to my teeth today, diet choices are going to be going back to needing to be tweaked. Got my newest Invisalign refinement yesterday (3rd) and my teeth are quite tender.
9/26 – 133.6 Boing! No caloric reason. My only theory is that it reflects a very high dietary calcium day yesterday. I am at least seeing a slow, though erratic, downward trend. If I look in my spoilers (so helpful to have easily available), I am down at least 2 lb over the month. Hopefully a healthy non-yo-yo pace. Unfortunately, if one looks back further in my spoilers, I am still 7 lb up from a year, yet 15 lb down from 4 years ago. It is a journey.
9/27 – 133.6 still no reason for the number. Just going to keep trusting the tracking (which is a key reason TOO track) and move forward. Today, starting the day with the crabby contractor from last week. I need to not let them set me off into a binge.
9/28 – 134.4 This sort of thing is going to be my new pattern. Yesterday, I did get a little out of line, BUT I tracked everything. And I have got to hand it to MFP. Last night, I finally broke down and opened candies from Iran, given to us by a friend. Only the ingredients, were written in duplicate in English. I figured I would not be able to track. On a lark, I scanned the barcode, and presto, I was apparently eating “Gaz Badami” at 45 calories each. I honestly was expecting “invalid barcode” that get at times even in our local grocery store.
9/29 – 134.4 This morning, I am actually grateful for this number. I fully expected the number to have gone up. Though the day was well planned, when we went out to eat, we were with a widower who would not order items unless shared. No regrets on that part. Then I got home and ate three more of the Gas Badami. That I regret as there was no need to have done so.
On another note, besides MFP, Reddit is a place I gather lots of information. Many many topics, but newly I am in some bone health groups, and discussions are certainly encouraging me to not only think about my goals, but also my path to them. Note that my intended weight range puts me right about that BMI of 21.
From yesterday:
“Eat dairy or other calcium-rich foods 3x per day (meet the RDA for calcium, basically). If not dairy, then bok choi, collards, etc. They said spinach but apparently it has high oxalates so you don't really absorb much of the calcium, bok choi and collard greens are MUCH better than spinach. Broccoli is okay but you'd have to eat a literal boatload of brocoli to get enough calcium. Bok choi and collard greens have way way more calcium than any other commonly eaten veggies.”
“As someone who is always looking to trim off a couple pounds, what do you consider to be "low-weight"? “
Two replies:
“Low-weight would be underweight, which is bad for your bones independent of anything else you do, but if you're not underweight you don't have to worry about it, and it's not necessary to gain weight to improve bone density unless you are underweight (BMI < 19), it could help a little (but not necessary) if you're low-end of normal weight (BMI < 21), otherwise it would not help. If you are overweight, you can gain bone density even if you lose weight.”
“Being underweight is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Probably the limited calories, lower protein and mineral intake, and reduced stress on the bones play a part.”

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

9/23 131.5 I’m okay with this since no TMI since we got home
9/24 132.0 Getting a facial today from my favorite esthetician.
9/25 132.5 UGH my stomach was “off” yesterday so I really didn’t eat much. Also didn’t track so need to do that. Going to Golden Corral this afternoon, ugh!
9/26 134.5 Double UGH! I really didn’t pig out at what I am now calling the Pigout Parlor. I had a small bowl of salad and a plate with a chicken thigh, a small piece of pot roast, 8 Brussels sprouts, and a serving of small fried shrimp. I wasn’t even tempted to get dessert.
9/27 135.0!!! Except for the “heel” of the me made sourdough I hardly ate anything- 2 eggs and 2 slices of bacon.
9/28 134.0 Semi-fast Had my BP coffee, cream and one keto shake. I had planned to repeat today but a scorpion changed my plan. I didn’t get stung and I did kill it but it resulted in cleaning and DH spraying. BBQ for dinner - beef brisket only
9/29 134.0 Great Greek today. Manicure today.4 -

Oh, good, finally something is working.
09/24 - 197.4/196.6
Crazy. But I did have a lot of carbs yesterday, and went over my calorie goal. Tomorrow….
09/25 - 197/196.6
Let go, fat cells, let go! Jeesh. These bounce backs from low readings are disheartening. But at least I feel a bit more in control. Off to get my hair cut—that should be worth half an ounce. 😂
09/26 - 195
Such weird swings, but today’s # makes me happier. I’ve been eating either breakfast or lunch, not both, and I don’t miss the missing meal, so that’s a plus. Also doing better with late-night snacks. I’ve been having a bowl of cereal with fruit & kefir at night to get in my collagen powder in, and that is very satisfying. I’ve cut out the junk snacking. I’m also starting to trust my gut, so able to go for longer walks. All good!
09/27 - 196.4/196.2
Crazy ups and downs. Oh well! At least I’m trending in the right direction finally. Going out for Italian lunch with DH, but I’ve already planned my order—a really good tilapia in wine and lemon sauce, and I’ll skip the pasta.
If you’re in the path of the storm, be safe!
09/28 - 197.4/196.4
I ate responsibly yesterday but was very thirsty later, so the food was salty and that’s the uptick. Not worried about it.
09/29 - 196.4/196.4
Ate a bit more than I’d planned yesterday, but not too bad.

Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later.
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024! I am looking forward to being present this round🙂
I just need to get started. I am so off the beaten path at this moment.
So here we go (last quarter) 2024... my motto(s) - All the things I need to read daily!!!
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Lose weight in the kitchen ⚖️, get fit in the gym🏋🏾♀️
Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!
Goals this round:
Resuming structure~Goals and Targets

@itladyee Some groups I am actually "in", then others just now show up on my feed because Reddit stalks you. :P From a health point on view, I am reading and responding in the two osteopenia and osteoporosis groups. I might be "in" the "supplements" group (I know I get posts). I am in Invisalign. I also get stuff from true crime (think Idaho 4 - which brought me to reddit 2 years ago). Condo HOA, estate planning, legal stuff, and almost all the variations of AITAH (embarrassing but yes).
I would search on anything pertinent to you. On facebook, where I have been longer, I am in a variety of health groups, each joined as an issue arose.
Believe me, Reddit will start sending you suggestions based on your other searches or comments.
Only caution is that it you care about the group, read the rules. I have gotten banned from two groups because Reddit suggested a post, and I responded blindly. Apparently, i "broke the rules". Honestly, did nothing bad, just were wrong for that group. Fortunately, neither group were anything I would have ever returned to, so being "banned" is not much of a consequence.3 -

Achieved my daily goals. Last round I achieved my daily goals on 8/10 days. This round I am going to try for 10/10.
9/24: 162.2 lbs
Didn't exercise because I didn't plan my day out well enough. Stuck to my calories though.
9/25: 162.7 lbs
Achieved my daily goals. The family had chocolate and cookies yesterday and I decided to have none. I did think of having one square of chocolate but I thought that would just unleash the chocovore in me and I would finish the whole lot. I wish I could be able to have just one square.
9/26: 163.1 lbs
Achieved my daily goals. Had a curry for dinner and I think the salt is bloating me up.
9/27: 162.5 lbs
Achieved my daily goals. I have been feeling like I haven't made much progress lately but when I look at my graphs the trend line is still trending down slightly.
9/28: 162.9 lbs
Achieved my goals even though it was pizza night.

Did a bit of exercise but ate far too many crackers and cheese.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 273 (my 203rd). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Home again after a really lovely 10 days in Spain. 4 pounds gained, need to lose this before I travel in 3 weeks to Turkey to visit DB.
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 overindulge, 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 I must not jeopardize that luck.

The weekend was intensely busy with lots of food. I navigated the best I could and got in all of my workouts. The blip up is coming down.
On top of our social/community events we had a plumbing catastrophe that started with a running toilet and ended with a broken pipe spewing water into a wall.
This week is another busy one. I’m mentally preparing myself to crush it!10 -

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.

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)

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: 135.0
Day/Weight/Comment
9/23 – 134.4 Still not back to where I was like 5 days ago. Anyhow, yesterday, calories were spot on. Not much else to add.
9/24 – 134.0 A rarity. I don’t have much to comment. :P
9/25 – 133.0 I could tell from my “early morning routine” that the scale would be acceptable. Due to my teeth today, diet choices are going to be going back to needing to be tweaked. Got my newest Invisalign refinement yesterday (3rd) and my teeth are quite tender.
9/26 – 133.6 Boing! No caloric reason. My only theory is that it reflects a very high dietary calcium day yesterday. I am at least seeing a slow, though erratic, downward trend. If I look in my spoilers (so helpful to have easily available), I am down at least 2 lb over the month. Hopefully a healthy non-yo-yo pace. Unfortunately, if one looks back further in my spoilers, I am still 7 lb up from a year, yet 15 lb down from 4 years ago. It is a journey.
9/27 – 133.6 still no reason for the number. Just going to keep trusting the tracking (which is a key reason TOO track) and move forward. Today, starting the day with the crabby contractor from last week. I need to not let them set me off into a binge.
9/28 – 134.4 This sort of thing is going to be my new pattern. Yesterday, I did get a little out of line, BUT I tracked everything. And I have got to hand it to MFP. Last night, I finally broke down and opened candies from Iran, given to us by a friend. Only the ingredients, were written in duplicate in English. I figured I would not be able to track. On a lark, I scanned the barcode, and presto, I was apparently eating “Gaz Badami” at 45 calories each. I honestly was expecting “invalid barcode” that get at times even in our local grocery store.
9/29 – 134.4 This morning, I am actually grateful for this number. I fully expected the number to have gone up. Though the day was well planned, when we went out to eat, we were with a widower who would not order items unless shared. No regrets on that part. Then I got home and ate three more of the Gas Badami. That I regret as there was no need to have done so.
On another note, besides MFP, Reddit is a place I gather lots of information. Many many topics, but newly I am in some bone health groups, and discussions are certainly encouraging me to not only think about my goals, but also my path to them. Note that my intended weight range puts me right about that BMI of 21.
From yesterday:
“Eat dairy or other calcium-rich foods 3x per day (meet the RDA for calcium, basically). If not dairy, then bok choi, collards, etc. They said spinach but apparently it has high oxalates so you don't really absorb much of the calcium, bok choi and collard greens are MUCH better than spinach. Broccoli is okay but you'd have to eat a literal boatload of brocoli to get enough calcium. Bok choi and collard greens have way way more calcium than any other commonly eaten veggies.”
“As someone who is always looking to trim off a couple pounds, what do you consider to be "low-weight"? “
Two replies:
“Low-weight would be underweight, which is bad for your bones independent of anything else you do, but if you're not underweight you don't have to worry about it, and it's not necessary to gain weight to improve bone density unless you are underweight (BMI < 19), it could help a little (but not necessary) if you're low-end of normal weight (BMI < 21), otherwise it would not help. If you are overweight, you can gain bone density even if you lose weight.”
“Being underweight is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Probably the limited calories, lower protein and mineral intake, and reduced stress on the bones play a part.”
9/30 – 134.0 calories on target.
To those reading yesterday’s post, I meant to cut and paste this info prior to the “trim off a couple pounds” question, that was in response said information:
“Eat in a calorie surplus if low body weight. Definitely avoid a calorie deficit. Not a good idea to lose weight when trying to build bone, such a thing is impossible. Make sure to get enough protein, I shoot for 1g/lb of body weight (not 1g/kg like commonly advised as the RDA, that's way too little if you are at all active and especially if you are trying to build bone). Meats, beans, etc. all good on that front.”

Respect: Round 273 is worthy of my highest regard - I will give my very best effort.
Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.

About Me & R273 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.

📣#bestshapeofmylife
👇🏻Oct Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Oct:
1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and kcals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan. 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 12+ 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 130g 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… !

9/23 ⚖️131.0 - starting back after a 48 hr bug - sleep, sleep & more sleep. Feeling lethargic sipping my coffee but will WILL myself to a “can do will do” attitude today. Not sure yet what exactly after two days in bed, but will re-enter #HSF as best as I can. 💦💦💦, Short 🚶♀️this morn, DGS this afternoon, & somehow I will play tennis tonight.
Welcome to our new “JGMTD” journeymen & good luck to all. May all of us embrace & enjoy doing the hard stuff!

Solid day getting back …
NSV: exchanged my closet from spring/summer to fall/winter… Always an “experience” to try on clothes from previous season to see how they fit & feel…. I’d say this season’s annual closet shift was up there with the best in 10 years! Three bags to goodwill. Getting rid of clothes that not only don’t fit but just need to go…. too much clutter. More today. Thankful.

⚖️wowza… woke up super puffy. No TMI, still out of sync from illness. Will trust. No over eating but yes, a slow creep/ change in routine /foods & portions ….yesterday I enjoyed a HUGE homemade egg salad sandwich (Primal Mayo) on whole wheat sourdough bread my hubby gets from local bakery. Chicken breast last night but ate later than usual. And, my protein is averaging down… Need to pick that up. Water has been ok.
Definitely a change to “what/when” I’m eating but no indulgence. Need to go back to “one ingredient” at least for the rest of this round and 💦🏋️♀️.
👆🏻This, as I’m sitting across from my husband writing this, who can literally put ANYTHING into his mouth and still be razor thin. (And not too thin… Simply perfect!)
Thoughts: There’s no denying an uptick over the last 2-3 rounds with crazy swings. No real 🏋️♀️in over a week (sick). I’ll spend some time this morning planning out the round with exact foods, 🚶♀️5mi, 🏋️♀️💦📚. No tennis today or tomorrow.
This👆🏻 I recognize & embrace as my lifelong journey, and why I am here.
NSV: Still beaming over my time with my grandson yesterday. I see a positive shift in his maturity and self-initiative. He took out a piece of paper from his backpack and showed me his workout routine that he created… Told me he will work on it 5x week. Last night I got a text from my son - DGS skipped the video games & did his routine! Small steps.

What goes up without reason must come down without reason. I’m still curious re:big swings. Single, whole food ingredients yesterday. I opted out of 🚶♀️to go to the grocery for the weekend & a leisurely look & label reading. Poison, poison, poison. The 💩 in our grocery stores/foods = literal poison.
🚫🏋️♀️🚶♀️. Slept great last night. Today: will prioritize🚶♀️🏋️♀️. Meeting old friend for breakfast. Spending another afternoon with DGS.

Focused 🏋️♀️. 🚫🚶♀️. Spent way too much time with my friend & errands. Enjoyable time with DGS.
Funny story: placed grass-fed, chuck roast in oven… Three hours into it I realized I forgot the bone broth. Shoe leather. Last-minute decision to go out for sushi… Mostly sashimi but a few rolls, and then a scoop of ice cream. I was expecting a 2 to 3lb gain on the scale but basically NC… My body is a mystery.
Today: prioritize 🚶♀️10k steps, 🎾🏋️♀️. Single ingredient, whole food only. 💦
9/28 131.4
🚶♀️10k, 🏋️♀️15 min 💦, 💤8
P:E .1:1, P 115g
Solid day. Slipped up for dinner because I went to a pregame football party assuming grilled hamburgers or beef would be served … Instead, small plate of grits and grillades & an oatmeal cookie! I could have perhaps eaten beforehand, but was running short of time. Life happens!
It truly is a heck of a lot easier to lose weight vs maintain because with maintenance, deep inside I feel like I have wiggle room, but the slippery slope is always there lurking! I sincerely doubt I did any damage last night but it’s the “skid” that I’m living to avoid. So easy to forget, I had sushi & ice cream Thursday night and then last night a cookie….
I must constantly remind myself I want 130lbs and #HSF !
Today and tomorrow will bothbe temptation-free days.

If I don’t FOCUS on protein I can easily fall under 100g. Must re-focus! I had pre-recorded one protein shake, and I forgot to drink it yesterday…

The record of the last four days I just plugged in this morning. I am finally home. Thank you for thinking of me, @Chapter_3. Hickory had wind damage and heavy rain and minor flooding, but our mountains...well, there just are no words. No tracking or anything else for me. I'm numb, but so many are dead and missing. It's shocking how life just goes on elsewhere (which I don't mean as a negative here. I love you all. It's all just a shock).

Feeling very bloated this morning and I’m not sure why, but it will pass. I’m going to track in my posts this round a couple of goals to help me stay focused, so I’ll be experimenting with a system to do that. This week will be hard. We are putting our sweet lab, Sugar, down this morning, then on Thursday, we have the Celebration of Life for my parents (Mom died during Covid, so we are combining her service with Dad’s per his wishes). I expect I’ll have to fend off a lot of emotional eating this week, beginning today! Bought some Winesap apples in the mountains this weekend and made cinnamon apples with Swerve yesterday. Love to snack on those a spoonful or two at a time. Hope everyone has a great round.
9/24 161.4 Took Sugar for her final walk in the morning, slow and not far, but she enjoyed it. Got in over 10k steps yesterday including an after dinner walk in the neighborhood. I’m getting better at planning for higher protein in my meals and being purposeful about drinking water all day.
9/25 161.4 Got in some good strength training yesterday and also over 10k steps. Protein and water were both great. I had not looked at the weather when I set my step goals for this round, and it’s supposed to rain torrents for the next few days, so those will be hard to meet. But, I’ll give it a go.
9/26 Mom and Dad’s celebration in NC.
9/27 Helene devastated Western NC. Lost our mountain property. Whole towns obliterated. They just no longer exist. Over 1000 people missing.
9/28 Roads impassable across the mountain to go home. Still can’t get to the mountain property or back to Knoxville.
9/29 Drove home by going north through Virginia then south back to Knoxville. Arrived safely though. Blessed.
9/30 159.8 Lost 4 days during all of this. So.Much.Loss, the pounds are irrelevant. When the US Coast Guard shows up in small mountain towns hundreds of miles from any coast, you know it’s horrific.
