🍁🍂🌻 Just 10 days 🌻🍂🍁

Time to get back to the basics that I know can work for me… logging ✏️, movement 👣, water 💦 and limited snacks 🚫 after 8:00 pm. Consistency matters!

Footnote… I started back at exactly this time last year with this challenge. I weighed a smidge under 150 at that point. Although I wouldn’t mind dropping to 128-130 and staying consistently under 130, I am pretty happy to be in the 132 range.

/logged yesterday; walked yesterday; 80 oz water/

Well, I am back after two and a half rounds off for a trip to Italy. Was I careful what I ate? Yes, very careful. I was careful to eat everything that was put in front of me. 😊 Such a nice trip though.

I am therefore very surprised that my scale reading was lower this morning than the day I left. Maybe it had to do with 15,000 to 20,000 steps each day uphill both ways.

I return with a renewed sense of urgency to do better. We are entering what I call the danger zone. October, November, December. (it’s only 25% of the entire year!)

/logged; exercised; 78 oz water/

Pumkin pancakes at Rotary yesterday for lunch.

Last night I grilled some fresh salmon. Our grocery store had a huge overstock, so $10/pound was on sale for $1/pound, so DW bought a 3.4 pound slab! “this is the best salmon I have ever had,” said DW. Gave some to kiddos, and we have plenty left over for a salad topping today. DW will make salmon burgers out of the thin raw scraps.

Good to be back with you all!

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

So good to see you here again, I've missed you! Pleased you enjoyed Italy, you did get some good walking in there. I LOVE salmon, you did well to get it at such a bargain price, I have food envy!! lol.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 274 (my 204th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

This round takes me up to travelling again, this time to Turkey to visit DB. Just want to lose something before I go!
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.

Well, I am back after two and a half rounds off for a trip to Italy. Was I careful what I ate? Yes, very careful. I was careful to eat everything that was put in front of me. 😊 Such a nice trip though.

I am therefore very surprised that my scale reading was lower this morning than the day I left. Maybe it had to do with 15,000 to 20,000 steps each day uphill both ways.

I return with a renewed sense of urgency to do better. We are entering what I call the danger zone. October, November, December. (it’s only 25% of the entire year!)

Pumkin pancakes at Rotary yesterday for lunch.

Last night I grilled some fresh salmon. Our grocery store had a huge overstock, so $10/pound was on sale for $1/pound, so DW bought a 3.4 pound slab! “this is the best salmon I have ever had,” said DW. Gave some to kiddos, and we have plenty left over for a salad topping today. DW will make salmon burgers out of the thin raw scraps.

Good to be back with you all!

If every day were like yesterday, I could make some progress. Today is a big computer desk day I am afraid. I need to get up and move from time to time.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Rnd 273 End Weight 169.4

10/03- 170.1
10/04- 172.8
10/05- 170.2 What goes up must come down. I had a lovely evening with old friends. We went out for sushi and I stuck to my plan, even after it was suggested we just order “a bunch” of rolls for the table. That is code for danger zone.
This weekend should be a nice balance of getting a few things done at home and a relaxing Autumnal boat ride.

@Chapter_3 My goal for the next year is to not have a big community project! lol I’ll just do ten million little ones.
I will forever be an idealist who believes you can make your world a better place simply by doing something.

Reading all the posts I missed from bed. Will be up in a few. Thursday left the house at 6:44, got to my parents second home af 10:15. Worked on emptying it until 9 pm when I had no energy left. Woke at 4:55 on the couch and started working again at 5:30. Headed home late afternoon. I have now filled my suv 22 times and still not to the point I can clean the house and bring in the real estate. I need one more visit, then the cleaning can begin.

From my Apple Watch on Thursday:

@_JeffreyD_ : "I am therefore very surprised that my scale reading was lower this morning than the day I left. Maybe it had to do with 15,000 to 20,000 steps each day uphill both ways."

I also came back a little lighter, and I've found that's the case when I go to Italy- better food and more activity. Welcome back, I'm sure your trip was amazing!

Fantastic photo! Looks like Tuscany?

Round 274
10/03 – 139.9 Morning swim, work, and Baja fish tacos planned for dinner.
10/04 - 139.3 Morning walk and noon trainer session. Healthy spaghetti for dinner. Work in between.
10/05 - 139.3 Swim, Apple Fitness yoga, out for dinner and plan meals for the week.

My dinner for yesterday did not follow the plan. We ended up at Jason's Deli at my request so I could have the salad bar, which I ate. I also ate a half of turkey sandwich, chips, and a tad of ice cream Luckily, my weight is stuck again for the umpteenth time at 139.3 so it didn't go up or down. Still, I was a little disappointed at how easily I caved!

Round 274
Oct 3 - 12, 2024

GOAL FOR ROUND 274 – NOT GIVE BACK MY LOSS FROM ROUND 273

62 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.

History:

Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a two grandsons. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment

10/3 – 132.4 Posting now after driving to Maine and unloading the car. Packed minimally as I am working on emptying my parents’ home and need space in my car. Will not be weighing tomorrow. Pre-planned, tracked and packed my food for the two days. Since there is nothing else to eat, that should keep me in line. :P

10/4 – no scale and no time to even comment

10/5 – 131.6 Have no interest in repeating the past two days to get the loss, but grateful for it. Hungry as heck his morning, with tweaked back, aching joints, including one knee that at the end of yesterday, literally could barely get me up a step. Eating a quick breakfast while typing, then a much needed shower and some advil. DD and fam are dropping off their two cats this morning for us to babysit, so 4 cats (and not all get along) for the next week. Happy Saturday all!

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.

10/5: yeah, definitely not in the right direction. I have been too sedentary (read: at my desk) for the last 3 weeks and it shows. I also realized it's not the vacations that are this issue, it's the post-vacation stasis that does it. Other than my weekly evening with my daughter I've been eating well within my routine foods, but I haven't been putting in the steps. Now that work is settling back into a routine I need to make more exercise time. I even said it in my goals this round- now I just have to do it!

Busy family weekend. Last night was DGD#1's senior night at the football game- very poignant! She's drum major, and is such an adult; all talk of colleges and cars- a good reminder of how fast time with kids passes! Today is field hockey for DGD#3 (other family) and tomorrow I'm taking DGS to the zoo to see the bears (a special favorite of his). I'm a very lucky grandma

@SModa61: so hard that you have to do this cleaning out- I hope you have help and support through it, I remember how physically and emotionally strenuous that job is. Sending hugs....

Non-scale goals for round 274 (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) 5/10 days

10/3 - 134.2 ⏱️🚫 I never did get my rear in gear yesterday. I'm feeling overwhelmed with everything. We just have a boil water notice in my town but even that is making everything feel just a touch harder. When I was making dinner last night I kept accidentally rinsing produce in the sink, and with a kitchen full of dishes we had to take them outside to hose them off with well water after we washed them in the sink. Today I think we're ordering in but I don't necessarily trust restaurants to be doing the right thing to avoid customers getting sick. In the grand scheme I know it isn't a big deal and so many people are going through such a bad experience. Sometimes I feel like I lack resilience and just always fill my life to capacity so that one extra little thing sends me over the edge. This is reminding me to schedule a therapy session, yeesh. But it just feels like all the other things I need to do are getting on top of me. I couldn't even find clean socks for my kids this morning and I work from home, so putting clothes through the wash is objectively VERY EASY.

On to health stuff, I'm on dog walking duty today but I also really need to go to the gym and lift. Hopefully I can do both. Work is also overwhelming me but at least I don't have meetings today.

10/4 - 135.0 ⏱️🏃🏻‍♀️I was doing so well getting to the gym for lifting until this week. I don't think I'm going to make it today either. On the positive side, I e-biked both my boys to their schools this morning so I got some light activity and outdoor time in to start the day. One of our neighbors started a "bike bus" where kids gang up and bike to school together on the trail behind her house. There's definitely safety in numbers when it comes to biking so I'm all for it. My 5-year-old can't quite bike the hills so for now I'll carry him on my bike. It will just be once a week or so. Nervous heading into the weekend. Dinner tonight is likely from a food truck at an event we're going to. And tomorrow is a big pot luck at a local-ish farm we buy produce from. It's always just hard in general because I have less control over meal times and places when I have to consider the rest of my family for the whole day instead of just in the evenings.

10/5 - 134.2 📝 Didn’t meet many non-scale goals but stayed on track relatively well. Have to decide what to take to a potluck tonight. Have a great Saturday everyone!

RND 274 - JGMTD #44
Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
#HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
#helpfulhabits

About Me & R274 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 maintenance journey “#HSF” & on my way to
📣#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 cals = 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 added “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 120g to 135g 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… !

10/3 ⚖️132.0.
Up solid 2lbs since 7/3/24 (R264) after a month of consistent 129-130. This is the slow creep. Didn’t sleep well. Will reflect, journal & establish non-scale 🏋️‍♀️⏱️🚶‍♀️📚💤 goals for this round (JGM10 days!!!!) today. Re-commit to P:E WOE. Want stable ⚖️130lbs. 💪🏻#HSF
Good luck all!

10/4 ⚖️130.6 Had to weigh three times to believe it.
✅ 🏋️‍♀️15min 🚶‍♀️11k⏱️HIIT 💦📚 💤8hrs. P:E 3:1, Pg 137. Yes!!!!

⚖️-total surprise this morning… Am I simply going to have one to 2 lb fluctuations day-in day-out? -I guess that’s what’s going on? Geez Louise!

I did have an incredible day yesterday… I reflected, read, created a plan to work on sprints and plyo during my walk-then DID IT! I adjusted my Apple Watch for intervals and it’s easy to measure & track. I set up one 7 minute HIIT with 20 second work and 40 second recover. When I got to the park, I did two of these… I must look like a total fool! My sprint is hardly a “true sprint” & plyo is hardly true “jumps” but at least I’m doing it. This is ground zero! Im actually motivated to start & track these movements with proven benefits.

P:E - increased protein, reduced “Energy” significantly: lowered fat & only 2 carbs yesterday. (I did have to drink some of my protein to reach those levels).

Forced myself to 🏋️‍♀️. This journey requires a great deal of self-discipline…. As life. I’m discovering that I enjoy working toward something… It must be defined. #HSF

NSV: Actually, DOING what I said I would DO is one of the best feelings in the world!

Supposed to play tennis today, but it just started raining so I’ll substitute. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but yesterday was the perfect kick start to a great round!

⚖️swings are my normal. All day rain 🚫🚶‍♀️. Ate late. Disrupted sleep. Almost DNW because we ate late, slept poorly & woke up puffy. … I could’ve done HIIT inside, but I opted not to because once again, I got distracted with being inside. Rainy days certainly bring the blues… Ate late.

Today: DGS soccer could be cancelled (rain) but if not:
🏋️‍♀️⏱️🚶‍♀️📚💤. I will not get distracted today!

October is our birthday month. Hubby has a big one (70!) & I’ll turn 66. We have five celebrations planned so far with two more in planning stages… I will stay vigilant this month. We had planned a one week trip to the smoky mountains, but canceled for obvious reasons. Now a “staycation”. Praying for Helene victims and volunteers.

@judefit1 Doing it mostly alone. One sister (west coast) does not visit long enough to be helpful unless time is taken away from visiting with my mother (she flys in on a thursday, leaves tuesday and Maine is almost a 3 hr drive each way, so 2 day minimum from here). Other sister has no interest and not offered, despite the fact it is her family that are the only people other than my parents who have used the property in over 20 years. Hubby has helped, but he is beyond frustrated with the whole thing and why we are the ones doing it all alone. So I try and keep involving him to a minimum. He was great sorting the three SUV worth of papers inside a vacation home. I am so motivated to get rid of my own cr@p after all this. I guess that is a good thing. Right? :P

Day/Weight/Trend Weight/Comment

10/03 - 196/196.3
It’s a beautiful fall day here, so after I stock up on dog & cat food, I’m off to the Rivergreenway for a walk. It’s such a relief to finally feel I don’t need to be within 2 minutes of a bathroom, and so far I haven’t had any foot cramps since I stopped taking magnesium supplements. I had thought I couldn’t make my end-of-year goal of 170, but I feel much more hopeful now. I don’t usually set number goals, just behavioral goals, because I can’t control results, only efforts, but I think this one is reasonable. Since DH is finally onboard about how damaging pasta is for me, we’re doing just fine with a lot of “feed ourselves” days, and I know that’s helping. My big downfall at the moment is occasional Triscuit splurges, but as indulgences go, that’s not too bad. And I’m showing much more restraint!

10/04 - 196.8/196.4
Another of those mystery “upbumps.” I’m trying to ignore it as I ate responsibly. Charlie and I went for a nice long walk in one of our favorite parks. Plan to repeat today.

10/05 - 197.2/196.5
Ugh. I’m walking more and keeping calories below 1400 with macros spot on, so I just don’t get the “stickiness” of my weight. Maybe it will let go one of these days. Sigh.

Love the Saturday morning posts, everybody.

@Smoda61 I can't give you enough hugs because the system only allows one. My big sister did the bulk of this same job when we lost our mother 35 years ago, and I was home working with a 1 year old, having spent all my vacation time with Mom when she was sick. Now I'm helping my niece clear that very same sister's house who died last March. I miss her so much! It's a heart wrenching job. More hugs for you!

@pettycoatjunction - congrats on one year anniversary here at JGMTD!

@Chapter_3 - that graph says it all. This community works!

Welcome! I believe we all started out feeling unsure about how to post. Make it what you want it to be. Some post daily, some on a more hit or miss basis.

I think most of us keep a running “note” we add to daily on phone or computer. Mine is in my iPhone. I add to it daily then copy and paste to the board. On the messages, your device SHOULD pick up where you left off. When you post you have 1 hour to edit that pos, if you want to.

I know the feeling of clearing out all ones own rubbish, when I cleared DD, DA & MIL's homes, I was determined my kids would not have to do that, but after 4 years I still haven't 'got around' to doing it all! They still have stuff in our house too which every now and again I take some of it up to them! It's a slow and difficult job, what do you throw, what do you keep, a life time of memories and sentiments!

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

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

10/3 133.5 Quilt guild meeting this afternoon.

10/5 133.5 I accidentally drank a can of regular Coke. I guess DH brought it home from the clubhouse. We haven’t bought anything but Coke Zero in months and I didn’t even look at the can.

Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing! I’ve loved watching the travels from this group the past few weeks. I haven’t made it to Europe in ages but hopefully we can get out there ourselves eventually. Meanwhile, I appreciate seeing photos like yours and I think Italy photos from @judefit1 as well!

I'll admit that I overate while out with friends last night. I think I selected wisely though (dolmades), and I'm okay with that. We're celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary tomorrow, so I'm already planning my calorie budget for that. Other than being slightly bloated and freaking exhausted this morning, it's going to be a great Saturday!

10/3 238 / Homecoming shopping with a hormonal 17-year-old counts as a workout, right? - 1210 calories, 56 net carbs

10/5 238 / Recovery day! Nothing planned other than a long walk this evening
