    Round 275
    10/13 - 138.2 Busy day with lunch & dinner out. Dangerous territory!
    10/14 - 138.4 Evening walk, noon BodyPump, leftovers for dinner. Clean eating focus
    10/15 - 138.0 Morning swim, water intake focus, veggie plate planned for dinner
    10/16 – 136.9 Morning walk, noon BodyPump, keep water focus, Panera salad planned for dinner
    10/17 – 137.5 Morning swim, company for the weekend
    10/18 – 136.9 Morning walk, noon trainer session, water water water….

    Yesterday was lunch out with friends and dinner out at a pub with company. Both times I ordered meat and veggies, health-ish but, no dessert and no wine. Both big wins! It’s empowering to be able to order food, nonchalantly, with a fuel-for-the-body focus and not feel like I’m missing out. I did order some sweet potato fries to share - and had few myself - but managed to leave some on my plate.

    Happy birthday - @Chapter_3! I'm not far behind. @ Skyleen75 - lucky you, for both catching the broken boiler and the ravioli shop - what a treasure! @Krysless2 - Economy, ecology, and health more often than not end up belonging together. Good for you!

    @baodell17724: welcome to the "burbs"- unless you're mid PA, you're somewhere between NYC and Philly, so even if it feels small, it's part of that quilt :-) Good luck with your fitness goals, this group helped me greatly!

    @Blueberries59:
    "Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind. – David G. Allen"
    What a great quote, thank you! It especially hit me in the unknown space of recovery from foot surgery!

    I now live in Canton, Bradford County, north-central PA (50 minutes from NY border). It's what my friend calls "Pennsyltucky". Very much a different planet from where I grew up and lived in the past! LOL

    @blueberries59 “ Economy, ecology, and health more often than not end up belonging together” THIS!!! I could rant for hours about this!!!
    And @judefit1 already repeated your other gem from this week!!

    @baodell17724 congratulations on your journey so far! I’m familiar with pennsyltucky, that is an extreme culture shock.

    RND 275 - JGMTD #45
    Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
    #HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
    #helpfulhabits

    About Me & R275 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… !

    10/12 129.8
    ✅ 🏋️‍♀️20🚶‍♀️11k 💤 4hrs 🎾
    Pg 20g
    Decided to go ahead and attempt the 72 hour fast. I’m on 36 hours. Only 16oz of bone broth yesterday (plus 2black coffee and 80oz 💦). Only water/black coffee for the next 36 hours.

    I’m not doing this for weight loss. Doing it to give my system, a brake & regenerate cells. If you’re ever interested in learning about fasting /benefits, there is a plethora of information on the Internet.

    I slept horrible last night - a surge of energy / kept tossing and turning. Very little sleep. I’m hoping I can nap sometime today and / or get a good nights sleep tonight.

    I felt/ feel +++ except for a slight headache around 8 o’clock last night.

    Yesterday: I played 🎾3hrs & 30 min of 🏀 with my DGS & 20 min🏋️‍♀️. Just kept going….

    Today: ? 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️💤💦💦💦. Let’s see how I feel as my day progresses - supposed to rest while fasting but my energy is bouncing off the charts! Get to be with DGS today too - he has a soccer game😎.

    I don’t know EXACTLY how I feel about R274…. What are my takes?
    1. ⚖️ fluctuates considerably based on routine.
    2. Will lose muscle mass from this fast 🤔….
    3. Solid ✅with new JGMTD ⏱️goals (sprints/plyo!!!) 5 of 10 days.
    4. 🏋️‍♀️6/10!

    10/13 ⚖️128.0 (fasting) 59hrs in. ⬇️3.4lbs 💦💦💦 🚶‍♀️4k. 💤6.5hrs.

    Early yesterday I had a great deal of energy. By 10AM I was zonked then zonked the entire day. Felt my energy just disappear - whoosh! Laid low. Walked around town a little but that was it. 💦💦💦& electrolytes. Did not nap yesterday although I tried. My last 72hr fast I only felt hungry for a couple of hrs around the 48hr mark… Not this time. Yesterday, I was hungry all day & eve… hungry now. Don’t know the difference but this fast has been much more challenging. (At least from my recollection).

    My body feels clean. No headache. Feels like I’m floating. Let’s see what happens today. I’m planning steak & eggs to break fast at 6PM.

    10/14 128.6
    ✅🚶‍♀️9k 💤6 hrs 💦 P:E 1.1:1; Pg 106
    I broke my fast yesterday at 2PM (68 hours…) Gave a tennis lesson to DGS, which consisted of only feeding balls at the net… When I got home, I was pretty weak & laid down…. Simply could not recover from the weakness, so I said to myself “What’s four hours”? Hubby is still away on his bike trip & I thought “let me take care of myself and make sure I don’t faint.” Ate half a ribeye. Totally restored my energy! Protein drink & greek yogurt @ 6PM. Beautiful walk in the evening.

    Don’t know why fasting full 72hrs was successful twice before & not this time but I’m proud of 68hrs adhering to my body/limits. I don’t feel like I failed. I listened & took care of myself! 💪🏻

    What did I learn? I learned that I have self-discipline and can move my thought patterns of doubt to positive self-determination. I can switch gears. I can conquer temptation. Most hunger pangs simply disappear …. Of course, until you feel faint 😎. When you know you know…

    💤 Didn’t sleep well again. Trusting after I get moving this morn I’ll feel stronger. I feel clean & hoping to feel even better as the morning progresses. Also trusting my body absorbed all benefits from the fast.
    I want to 🚶‍♀️⏱️🏋️‍♀️ today. Will check my energy levels. Onward!

    10/15 128.8
    ✅🚶‍♀️12k 💤8 hrs 💦 🚫🏋️‍♀️⏱️
    P:E 1.2:1; Pg 118

    Movement: chose to only walk today. Still building energy.

    Ate @11AM. Poached eggs and sliced avocado. Delicious!Around 4pm: Ground beef w/ chopped onion topped w/diced tomato, cilantro and sliced avocado for dinner. Another win.

    6PM One protein shake. Oikos Pro high protein yogurt with a tablespoon of sugar-free dark chocolate pieces. Yum!

    Repeat same today. Hoping to keep ⚖️ in 130lb range and continue 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️⏱️.

    10/16 Slept soundly but only 5 hrs. Darn! My days are decisively better when I get at least 💤7hrs

    ⚖️This gradual ⬆️expected as I re-fuel. My systems haven’t quite caught up yet😎! I’m hoping to level off @ 130lbs while 🏋️‍♀️⏱️🚶‍♀️. Hubby will be home tonight! Today- 🎾🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️💦💦💦 & cleaning up the mess I’ve made around the house.

    10/17 ✅🚶‍♀️11k 💤7hrs 🎾2 hrs🏋️‍♀️15 💦 P:E ?
    Did not track sushi & sake last night. I certainly do NOT feel clean today. 😎 My “systems” should hopefully get to work today!
    DH Made it home. He ended up riding 80+ miles on his birthday. What a stud! We’ll see my sister and a brother tonight. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

    10/18 Nada went as planned. Good day tho. DNW cuz I FORGOT! no sleep & up early & ☕️☕️☕️. Today- reflection and momentum. First day of my 67th year. Let’s go!


    R274 EW 129.8 (during fast)
    R275 SW 128.0 (during fast)

    10/13 128.0 (ended fast@ 2pm)
    10/14 128.6
    10/15 128.8
    10/16 129.8
    10/17 131.0
    10/18 DNW
    10/19 135.6
    That’s a WOW-zer! 5 days of eating late, bad sleep & no TMI…. I think I’ll call Roto Rooter today! I’m guessing I’m 131-132.
    I’ve eaten foods these last three days that I haven’t eaten in over a year (not to excess) so let’s see how this “weighs out”. Birthday week is officially over! Im not going to scold myself (YET).
    Back to my routine & tracking. (I really did not see this coming!) self reflection & gratitude is key!

    Thanks to all for the birthday wishes… I wish I had the time this morn to thank all of you individually…. I’m running super late. @pezhed congrats on your drop. So much wisdom this morn. I’ll revisit todays journals later today to absorb. Thankful for this group. Love ❤️ to all and happy weekend!
