Sticking to the 138’s! I came home from choir practice so hungry last night I had to eat something and landed on a cup of warm skim milk, half a banana and a drop of almond butter. It cost me 20 minutes of sleep and sent me over the calories, but worth it. It is not my habit to eat late, but I can’t sleep if I’m hungry. I made a deal with myself that I can eat as much as I want as long as I log it and it's real food. Really, I'm mostly not hungry, and I've been 99% sticking to eating only real, non-processed foods-of-value for my body since I started JGMTD. My cravings are gone and it's working. I even have the been able to ignore DH's cookies and cr@p in the cupboards. (forgive my language but it helps me to think of junk food with a prejorative description). Fingers crossed I can keep it up because controlling my urges has a slippery slope.
Another note - My brother in St. Pete survived Mighty Milton – I was more than concerned and can breathe a big sigh of relief. I hope that all of you in Florida are also ok.

Comments pertain to previous day
SW Rnd 274 133.5
10/3 133.5 Quilt guild meeting this afternoon.
10/4 132.5
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.
10/6 134.0 Got together with my quilting friends for a couple of hours - DSIL made a small charcuterie board for us which saved me from TOTAL EATING DISASTER at the pool closing party where they served carbs with carbs on carbs. I did eat an ice cream sandwich and some Red Hot Tamales candies.
10/7 133.5 OOPS! I neglected to post. At Great Greek yesterday I was not very hungry. I got a chicken skewer but only ate 2 of the chicken chunks.
10/8 133.0 Yesterday I had the remaining 3 chunks of chicken- 2.5 oz, 2 oz of leftover brisket and 90 g Brussels sprouts. I love having leftovers!
10/9 133.0 We may have a houseguest for the next couple of days due to hurricane Milton.
10/10 132.5 Didn’t hear from our cousin but DD#2 said she had told her she was staying with a “new friend she had just met” and leaving on an early flight this morning. I’m too leery of people to do that. Going to Golden Corral 🤦♀️🤷♀️ not my choice.

I'm Amanda, in for another round!
SW RND 274: 135.0
GW RND 274: 133.5 (same goal as last 2 rounds

UGW: 125 and evaluate from there
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!
10/6 - 134.4 🏃🏻♀️⏱️ The potluck on the farm last night was lovely with old time fiddlers and just incredibly delicious food. People didn’t hold back their talent in the kitchen! I brought a tortellini salad with some vegetable from their farm and some herbs from mine. I tried a few too many things but it was hard to resist! I did manage to fast yesterday morning, and got on the treadmill early in the day. Today I’m taking the boys hiking with some friends, and we have another social dinner planned, which is good for my feelings of community, and not so good for losing weight.
10/7 - 134.4 🏃🏻♀️⏱️ Surprised not to see weekend gain today, and I won’t be surprised if I see an increase tomorrow. Had a wonderful weekend with family and friends! Now I’m at the doctor for my annual check-up waiting to go for my bloodwork. Everything looks good! She did point out I’d gained 6 pounds since I was last weighed last September 🫣 Really hope I can lose and figure out maintenance this time.
10/8 - 135.6 🏃🏻♀️🚫 There's my weekend gain! Tonight is book club so I'll try to save some for snacking. My cholesterol looks a little high in my bloodwork results (111 LDL). Perhaps if I increase my whole grain and decrease my dairy fat intake that will improve. I did recently switch from all whole milk products to 2%. Just did a quick google search and it looks like whole milk vs low fat shows very mixed results. I'm not really guzzling milk over here anyway so I don't think that's really the source. Regardless, I definitely need to get it in check because heart issues seem fairly common in my family. There's a theory that my grandmother died (very suddenly at 74) from a heart attack but no autopsy was performed unfortunately. Her sister, who does not have children, made that decision. I'm still annoyed my mom didn't push harder on that because knowing your family health history can be so helpful.
10/9 - 134.6. I don't think I met any of my non-scale goals yesterday. As usual I started the day tracking and ended it not tracking. I'm a little overwhelmed with life right now and it's showing.
10/10 - 133.8 🏃🏻♀️🚫 📝 ⏱️ Yesterday was a pretty good day fitness-wise. I'm happy to see a bit of a loss this morning! I took the morning off to accompany my preschooler on a field trip to a pumpkin patch. It didn't start until 10:30 so I got to the go to the gym and do a nice little Peloton strength class with dumbbells. I need to get my bedtime in check so I can wake up before the kids and squeeze in a workout every now and then. I'm getting busier at work so I'm not having as much time to fit things in during the day. I put some turkey chili in the crock pot before I signed on so I'm feeling really good about today!

I was looking back at where I was when I started back in August, and I'm proud! Side note: I LOVE arm day, and I went for it at the gym over lunch. I'll feel it later I'm sure, but right now I feel AMAZING.

10/4: 160.9 lbs
Didn't exercise but did stick to my calories. I must be dropping a lot of water at the moment. If I end this round at this weight I will be happy. When I have bigger drops in weight though, I tend to self-sabotage. I will have to be extra vigilant if I want this weight to stick.
10/5: 162.7 lbs
Yes well I did anticipate this would happen. I ate chips, cake and pizza. It didn't help that we had friends drop in. There is something about seeing other people eat that makes me want to eat. And these friends eat a lot so if course I ate a lot too. I had a good time though.

🎷 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.

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.

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

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 110-130g Protein
8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
9. ✅#HSF 💦70-80oz 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 110g 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… !

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!
10/5 131.0
✅ 🏋️♀️25min 📚 5💤hrs. P:E 1.7:1, Pg 117g
⚖️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.
10/6 131.0
✅ 🚶♀️11.5k 💦💤 7hrs. P:E 1.7:1, Pg 135g
Wonderful walk. Went to another small town 3mi north - enjoyable! DGS Soccer-will post photo. Still sore from lifting so held off. Getting that amount of protein requires careful planning. Today: 🎾🏋️♀️⏱️🚶♀️📚.
10/7 130.8
✅ 🏋️♀️15min 🚶♀️10k ⏱️14min 💦📚 💤8hrs. P:E 1:1, Pg 95 (low)
Most proud of ⏱️speed & plyo. Three times this round so far!Went to my usual spot but filled with families on a Sunday afternoon…. Thinking there would be too many eyes on this old lady doing sprints & jumps… But at this age Im “invisible”, so I guess the self-consciousness is for naught! Who knows, perhaps I inspired someone to get off their butt! 🤣😎🤣
10/8 132.0
✅ 🏋️♀️15min 🚶♀️8k ⏱️7min 🎾💦📚 💤6hrs. P:E .8:1, Pg 95 (low)
Another ⚖️ fluctuation. This one doesn’t surprise me as much because we ate late last night. Fluctuation of 1 to 2 lbs based on timing of last meal. I should be used to this by now… Protein low. Puffy. Sleep could be lots better. It’s clear my body loves routine, and yesterday was off a bit…
Planning another 🏋️♀️#HSF day. A little sore from yesterday’s workout. Will see my DGS again.
10/9 131.4
💤5hrs. P:E .6:1, Pg 119. Took off a day yesterday from all movement… became distracted taking care of some business in the morning, then it was 2pm - time to pickup DGS.
🚫🏋️♀️🚶♀️. Ate 2Tbs of PBJ in the afternoon & one glass of wine with steak last night. All tracked. 45 carbs(😳) & 1700 cals. (300 over maintenance) Yesterday a D- because it could have been worse. Note to self: Accomplish 🏋️♀️🚶♀️FIRST in the morning… And if I don’t, chances, are, I won’t do it!
Distracted. Maybe too much angst from Helene and now Milton. Dispair? 🙏🙏🙏 all victims, first responders & volunteers.
Want to finish R274 mentally strong & hopeful. 🎾🏋️♀️⏱️today; dinner with friends this eve.
10/10 DNW (little sleep)
✅ 🚶♀️12k ⏱️7min 🎾💤4hrs. P:E .9:1, Pg 93 (low)
Logged protein shake and forgot to drink. I was ok at dinner, but ate +carbs & kept @ 1400 cals.
Today: 🚶♀️⏱️🏋️♀️& will definitely meet Protein threshold.
I called to make my “Inbody”appointment for 10/31, and the gal that I’ve been working with is no longer available. Super bummed! Will probably venture to the “freebie” Nutrishop down the road…. Different machine so different results….

Hubby leaving for his 70mi mountain bike ride on his birthday-70 miles to commemorate his 70th! (Yes, all at once). Last minute, since our two trips were canceled… (Tornadoes in May then Helene). I decided not to join him - just too far of a trip for too little time. I’m so happy he was able to arrange this!
I’m thinking about doing a 48-72hr water fast (Cellular regeneration). I’ll decide by noon today. It either started yesterday at 6 PM or will start tonight at 6 PM. Will be so much easier while he’s gone. 72 has many more benefits than 48 so I’ll be thinking on it!
I’m also thinking about a 🚶♀️66 mile week for me … (Sat to Sat) to emulate Hubby’s challenge…. Nothing in comparison to my DH, but it would be a stretch for me. (Turning 66 next week) Not a big deal for @musicsax too! Lots to think about this morning!

Whole food, single ingredient nutrition is 💯! Hunger pangs & cravings virtually stop when processed foods & seed oils are eliminated. Inspired! Zero packaged foods!
I have definitely stumbled here and there but removing all the 💩 from my house reduces temptation…. I even feel healthier knowing our home is positioned for success.7 -

Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205
Goals for this round:
1. Log my food daily; try to eat cleaner and work on portion control.
2. Daily exercise; at least some movement… No, actually a lot of movement.
3. Drink 90 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!

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.
10/6: 218.8
/logged; exercised a bit, mostly functional exercise; 80 oz water/
I did a bit of cheating yesterday, yet my body rewards me with a loss. Paying the piper tomorrow. I know how this goes.
10/7: 219.0
/logged; exercised; 66 oz water/
Not meeting my water goal. I need to just power through it.
10/8: 219.2
Catching up. Missed logging this day due to a busy morning.
10/9: 217.8
/Logged; Exercised; 70 oz water/
I don’t get this drop. I won’t fall in love with it.
Maybe caused by the internal furnace of doing paperwork for my aging parents. I hope not because that does not seem healthy.

/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
Yesterday was generally good. Went to the gym, washed some windows, watered some grass, kept an eye on Milton, read my library book, and went to a meeting. Minor snaccident occurred, probably offset by exercise.

I deserved this bump up. DW leaving for a “girls trip” this morning and will not return until Sunday. I hate to say it but her presence in the house helps me eat like a human being. She did give me some eating assignments. 😊 They mainly involve left-overs and pantry items she can’t eat. I want to keep it under 220 if possible.

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.6 -
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!

SW: 132.8
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!
10/6 – 133.6 Had eating issues at the start of yesterday. Surprised myself with ending dinner pretty much on track. Then I went on a night time bender. The scale will sort itself. Going out to dinner today. Already researched and pre-tracked.
10/7 – 133.4 Handled everything well yesterday, including the dining out. I have today mostly pre-tracked as well, and should go well.
10/8 – 132.6 Yesterday, I had a CT scan, which was part of my safety net on calories. Well, it set me off. Not sure what went on, but I had a really poor job installing by IV led me to starting to pass out and maybe the contract dye was a factor and I ended up with abdominal discomfort afterwards which is always an eating trigger for me. So technically, I ate over target, but at the same time the event triggered digestive movement. Today is a simple day.
10/9 – 134.2 – Another day that went well, then went south later in the evening. I need to sort this pattern
10/10 – 133.4 So I might not close this round with a loss, but I am seeing that my pattern has a downward trend. My “highs” are progressing down. I thinking about all who were impacted overnight my Milton. I’m sure more details will be released once the sun comes up.
10/11 – DNW go fully out of control last night, after a tracked day. Just did not feel like seeing the consequences. No sure what tomorrow will show, but I do not think 274 will close with a down. My hope is to remain lower than my close 272, 273 at 134.8 and 135.0 respectively.

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.
10/06 - 197/196.6
Another beautiful morning here in northeast Indiana, heading for downright hot this afternoon. I plan to do a bit of garden cleanup, then go for a walk in a park or on the Rivergreenway. I enjoy a nice, quiet Sunday!
10/07 - 197/196.6
We accepted a last minute invitation to meet friends at a Mexican restaurant for dinner last night, so I will take holding steady this morning!
10/08 - 195.2/196.4
I started IF yesterday and feel ready to do it this time. When I’ve tried in the past, I just could seem to stick to the fasting. I told DH not to let me eat after 6 p.m. and he said “tie a rope around your ankle.” I asked if he was going to tie me to my chair and he said no, so if I went toward the kitchen he could pull me back. 😂🤣 Turned out that wasn’t necessary and I was a good girl. Now to keep it up.
10/09 - 195.2/196
Successful fast last night, and low calories during the day. Yay!
10/10 - 195/195.6
For the first time, I was hungry last night after I started my fast. Predictable—we had pasta for dinner. Anyway, I stuck it out, so that’s a little win.
10/11 - 194.4/195.1
Every day I find it easier not to eat after dinner, and finally seeing my weight going down is very motivational. Eating a good breakfast is definitely helping keep my hunger within bounds throughout the day. This morning I made scrambled eggs with cherry tomatoes, spinach, and Canadian bacon. Yum! A bit high in sat fats, but the rest of the day won’t be, so all good. And satisfying! Maybe I’m on my way, at long last.

🚫 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!
10/6 - 134.4 🏃🏻♀️⏱️ The potluck on the farm last night was lovely with old time fiddlers and just incredibly delicious food. People didn’t hold back their talent in the kitchen! I brought a tortellini salad with some vegetable from their farm and some herbs from mine. I tried a few too many things but it was hard to resist! I did manage to fast yesterday morning, and got on the treadmill early in the day. Today I’m taking the boys hiking with some friends, and we have another social dinner planned, which is good for my feelings of community, and not so good for losing weight.
10/7 - 134.4 🏃🏻♀️⏱️ Surprised not to see weekend gain today, and I won’t be surprised if I see an increase tomorrow. Had a wonderful weekend with family and friends! Now I’m at the doctor for my annual check-up waiting to go for my bloodwork. Everything looks good! She did point out I’d gained 6 pounds since I was last weighed last September 🫣 Really hope I can lose and figure out maintenance this time.
10/8 - 135.6 🏃🏻♀️🚫 There's my weekend gain! Tonight is book club so I'll try to save some for snacking. My cholesterol looks a little high in my bloodwork results (111 LDL). Perhaps if I increase my whole grain and decrease my dairy fat intake that will improve. I did recently switch from all whole milk products to 2%. Just did a quick google search and it looks like whole milk vs low fat shows very mixed results. I'm not really guzzling milk over here anyway so I don't think that's really the source. Regardless, I definitely need to get it in check because heart issues seem fairly common in my family. There's a theory that my grandmother died (very suddenly at 74) from a heart attack but no autopsy was performed unfortunately. Her sister, who does not have children, made that decision. I'm still annoyed my mom didn't push harder on that because knowing your family health history can be so helpful.
10/9 - 134.6. I don't think I met any of my non-scale goals yesterday. As usual I started the day tracking and ended it not tracking. I'm a little overwhelmed with life right now and it's showing.
10/10 - 133.8 🏃🏻♀️🚫 📝 ⏱️ Yesterday was a pretty good day fitness-wise. I'm happy to see a bit of a loss this morning! I took the morning off to accompany my preschooler on a field trip to a pumpkin patch. It didn't start until 10:30 so I got to the go to the gym and do a nice little Peloton strength class with dumbbells. I need to get my bedtime in check so I can wake up before the kids and squeeze in a workout every now and then. I'm getting busier at work so I'm not having as much time to fit things in during the day. I put some turkey chili in the crock pot before I signed on so I'm feeling really good about today!
10/11 - 133.8 🏋🏻♀️📝 Can't believe it's Friday already. Time is cruising along and I don't really like it! I got the dogs out for a little power walk this morning and that will probably be the extent of my exercise today. I did get my heart rate up a bit at least. Loving the crisp fall weather! I wish I had more time to get out but all my breaks from work are going to be dedicated to cleaning up today. My dad and stepmom are coming over to babysit tonight for the first time ever and are staying over, also for the first time ever, so I want them to be comfortable.

@Chapter_3 - Yes, indeed, it is easier to live in a house free of junky, hyperpalatable foods. However, my 70 yo DH of many decades wants what he wants. So my evenings are often spent cooking side by side meals: sweet potato for me but tater tots for DH, collards for me but a token few bites of broccoli for him, etc. ( I do eat a lot of broccoli myself, but it's DH's only green veggie) It's very hard in many respects, not least of which that DH is a two-time heart event veteran! We're talking cath lab stints 3 years ago and open-heart last fall. But he has made it very clear that I am not the food police or exercise police. I have also made it very clear that my health is important to me and that I was refocusing on wellness after the death of my sister, where I'd let things slide a bit. He can join me for some or all of my journey at any point. And he does. He's keeping his weight steady and makes some healthy choices. We work it out, but it's not ideal. I feel like he's waiting for me to slack off (again), but he doesn't know the power of JGMTDs! 7

10/3 133.5 Quilt guild meeting this afternoon.
10/4 132.5
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.
10/6 134.0 Got together with my quilting friends for a couple of hours - DSIL made a small charcuterie board for us which saved me from TOTAL EATING DISASTER at the pool closing party where they served carbs with carbs on carbs. I did eat an ice cream sandwich and some Red Hot Tamales candies.
10/7 133.5 OOPS! I neglected to post. At Great Greek yesterday I was not very hungry. I got a chicken skewer but only ate 2 of the chicken chunks.
10/8 133.0 Yesterday I had the remaining 3 chunks of chicken- 2.5 oz, 2 oz of leftover brisket and 90 g Brussels sprouts. I love having leftovers!
10/9 133.0 We may have a houseguest for the next couple of days due to hurricane Milton.
10/10 132.5 Didn’t hear from our cousin but DD#2 said she had told her she was staying with a “new friend she had just met” and leaving on an early flight this morning. I’m too leery of people to do that. Going to Golden Corral 🤦♀️🤷♀️ not my choice.
10/11 132.5 I feel good about this. Today we’re going to The Age of Chivalry. I love seeing people in period costume and doing things the old way - without tech and programmed machinery!
@Chapter_3 and @_JeffreyD_ Why is it so much easier to do a 24 hour or longer fast if our partner is gone? Mine says he can take care of himself but when he starts foraging, I feel neglectful for not having fixed him a meal. I have practically begged him to go see his sister in Denver but he won’t go without me. Before he got on the HOA board, I could plan on him going to lunch with our blind friend (allowing me a 24-36 hr fast) but that pretty much stopped when friend moved a few miles away to live with his daughter.5 -

However, today begins the weekly 4 day obstacle course that is my DD and DGS coming to stay until Sunday night. I’ve realized that it is not just her “duffle bags of treats” that make it difficult. It’s having meals to cook (or be present for) that are not within my own daily plan. I don’t know how you Superheroes do it…..diet and feed a family too! Have a great Thursday everyone and please keep those impacted by the Hurricanes in your prayers. I’m praying for people, pets, wildlife and property as I hope everyone will have a home to come back to.
10/11 -193.8- (Trend weight-193.6-) Well, there’s the massive jump-up from the travel and the Chinese Food. It’s actually much higher than I expected since it didn’t seem that I ate a whole lot. Hopefully a lot of it is sodium induced retention. All the more reason to try to be extra careful while DD and DGS are here during the weekend. Clothing has just been getting tighter and tighter since Feb/Mar and this merry-go-round isn’t feeling too merry right now. I’m committing to a good day today No Matter What!

Yeah, I goofed yesterday. Since my blood draw was a fast, I needed to eat by 6:30. However, I didn't get off until 5:00 and had to go to the store. I was also really nauseous from my meds, so it was a set up for a rough day. Today's already been better. :-)

10/7 158.8 How did it get to be the 7th already??? Days are running together, obviously, and all I’ve been tracking is weight each morning, but I’ve not forgotten you all. Thank you for the kind words and prayers. Now that Milton is taking a direct path at our condo in Clearwater Beach, I can tell you I have a weird peace about all of this. It’s only stuff, right? Our family is safe and that’s the main thing, although my heart breaks for the families for whom that is not true. I’m staying busy by making runs back into Western NC with supplies, making quilts for the children who have literally nothing left, gathering stuffed animals for them to hold tight to, and being thankful. Taking more water, stuffies, and pillows tomorrow and will work the distribution center for a few hours with my granddaughter who is on fall break from school. It’s humbling to see not only the destruction, but the monumental efforts put out by normal, everyday people to rescue and reassure total strangers. The Lord is working in a mighty way among His people in these mountain towns, and it’s a small blessing to be a witness to that part of this tragedy. At least I’m not very hungry these days!!! ;-)
10/8. 159.0 A little comfort eating yesterday.

10/11 158.8 Had an emotional day or two, but got it under control yesterday, so I hope I’m back in the saddle going forward. Maybe I’ll even revisit some daily goals in the next, hopefully much quieter, round. PS. all is well at our Clearwater condo. Milton took a last hour right turn and scooted in just south of us which just means the devastation was passed on to others, for whom I am terribly sorry.

I had a doctor's appointment earlier this week, and I decided to start an experiment. I am not a diabetic, but my husband is, and he uses a continuous glucose monitor. I was curious if my body was experiencing similar spikes and valleys but just not at a diabetic level and if there were ideal ranges to promote less fat storage and more fat burn. I saw that if you have a prescription, you can get one free of charge with a voucher from the Abbott website. I asked my doctor and told her I simply wanted to monitor how my body reacts to certain foods to better plan my eating strategy. She said, "OK." I've been using it since Monday and I am very surprised to see that very little (so far nothing) spikes my blood sugar. Spike is defined as a rise of more than 30mg/dl after eating. Last year, I was doing IF, not sure if there was a direct correlation, but when I visited my doctor, my cholesterol was higher than what had been normal. I reduced the time spent with IF and it has returned to normal. The types of foods I eat were pretty much the same. What I'm learning, though, is perhaps several small meals a day just might work better for how my body reacts to food. The jury is still deliberating.
@musicsax ~ it seems we had a viewing of Northern Lights as well, but we slept through it
@chapter_3 ~ congrats to Hubby on his 70 mile mountain bike ride on his 70th birthday! Awesome! And you for 66 miles for your 66! Love it!
@astroamy ~ those are some great bike rides and walks! I've mastered the 3 mile walk and was going to work to increase my speed. Hmmm....:)
@blueberries59 ~ I feel your pain. My DH has all kinds of health issues. He talks about doing better but doesn't consistently. I don't prepare multiple meals though. I stray from time to time but my basic meal is a protein and a veggie and an occasional carb. He a diabetic and does well when he follows my lead but then he slips in the closet to consume other, not so good stuff, that he buys.
@quiltingjaine ~ I feel your pain as well. It's easier because it's all about you. There's no temptations or guilt for not preparing meals etc. I'm going through a change where my husband is now home 24/7. He used to work a schedule that caused him to work 3 days straight, every other weekend. That meant I had every other weekend to do "me". It was great.
@ut_mom81 ~ Glad your condo is safe. Continuing to pray for all those who weren't so fortunate.
Happy Friday everyone!!5 -

Achieved my daily goals.
10/4: 160.9 lbs
Didn't exercise but did stick to my calories. I must be dropping a lot of water at the moment. If I end this round at this weight I will be happy. When I have bigger drops in weight though, I tend to self-sabotage. I will have to be extra vigilant if I want this weight to stick.
10/5: 162.7 lbs
Yes well I did anticipate this would happen. I ate chips, cake and pizza. It didn't help that we had friends drop in. There is something about seeing other people eat that makes me want to eat. And these friends eat a lot so if course I ate a lot too. I had a good time though.

10/7: 162.5 lbs
I achieved my daily goals.
10/8: 161.4 lbs
False low because I skipped dinner feeling unwell.
10/9: 161.8 lbs
I achieved all my daily goals.
10/10: 161.6 lbs
I skipped dinner but I ate chocolate in the afternoon. It balanced out but I am not proud. Sometimes it is just all too hard to be strong but also prioritise my health.
10/11: 163.1 lbs
I went off the rails eating wise. I will get over myself soon and get back on track.

@UTMom81 I was relieved to hear that your property is okay after Milton. The LAST thing you needed was something else on your plate! Praying with you for all those affected.2
