10/13 - 193.2/194.1
I seem to have found the key for me, finally. I’m not finding it as difficult as I imagined to stick to my fast from supper until breakfast, and wonder why I couldn’t stop snacking at night before. I guess you just have to be in the right place mentally.
10/14 - 193.4/193.7
Salty dinner last night, but otherwise on target, and one full week of IM. It’s getting easier. 😊
10/15 - 193.6/193.5
I weighed in a bit earlier than usual, which may explain the slight uptick. Nothing else does! I’m off this morning for my second post-laser surgery laser treatment to clear cloudiness in my new lens. I can’t say the first procedure made any difference ( other eye), but we’ll see.
10/16 - 193.4/193.4
Laser treatment went perfectly, but I ate weirdly (grape nut flakes and kefir for breakfast, pad Thai for late lunch/early dinner, and a few triscuits later. Woke up in the night feeling nauseated and indigestion, and I still feel that way. I’m wondering if it’s from an excess of salt. I usually keep my sodium intake quite low, but pad Thai & triscuits? Yikes! Anyway, I’m drinking lots of water to flush the salt. Maybe some knitting therapy will help. 😁
10/17 - 195/193.8
I felt shaky and hungry last night, so had a bowl of cereal with blueberries and kefir, which accounts for the bump. It’s fine. It will go away. I thought I’d share my newest motivation…I just finished knitting this vest and is a bit snug. 10 pounds would help, 20 even better! This was a fun knit, seeing the patterns emerge.
10/18 - 193.6/193.6
Ok, back on track. Thank you all for kind words about my vest. 🧶😊

10/18 - 157.2 - Uptick due to leftover pizza for lunch - expected and within macros. I'm slow moving this morning. I did my workout, as usual, but have been slowly moving through my normal morning. I'm off today but I may have to hop on to do some minor work this afternoon. Nobody did any work on the two projects I'm heavily involved in while I was gone for the week so we're horrendously behind. Unfortunately, also, this is unpaid because it should've already been done..... I don't think computers work in the ocean... Nor does my company's VPN work where I was at due to restrictions so there was no avoiding this on my part. I'm frustrated but trying to lot let it get to me. Hoping for a calmer work week next week now that I'm settled back into routine.

10/15 - I'm officially back from vacation. It has been hectic so far but it should calm down after today since I got all my errands and appointments done. Work is still going to be busy but those are only certain set hours of the day and the rest of my time can flow as it will. I have resumed macro tracking (so far 3 days), water tracking (3 days as well!) steps (yesterday and today), walks (yesterday and today) with the dogs who are also now home from the boarding/vet place, and gym (2 days thus far, 3 more days planned). Weight is likely to bounce around this week as I drop bloat/water weight but hold on to extra water from soreness (I'm already incredibly sore from Monday's leg day). This is okay, the goal is to ease into my routines and healthy habits without stressing myself out horribly. I'm glad to be back! I will aim to catch up on all of you if work breaks and evening time allows
10/16 - Well, I did weigh but my scale wouldn't sync and then it started acting erratic. I had to hard reset it and then ended up changing the batteries (which said 57% remaining, but after a battery change it started acting normal). Unfortunately, I lost the data from this morning. I do remember seeing a 157.x so I went up. As expected since I treated myself to pizza for lunch (within macros, but bloat doesn't care about macros) after having to get a mammogram. All clear, though! No need for another until after I'm 40 or if something comes up (a lump or symptoms). I've got everything logged today to meet macros and I'm focused on one gallon of water or more (so far I'm 3 for 3 days!). Gym done, dogs walked so now need to keep moving through the day to hit 8-10k steps (need less than 3,000 to hit goal as of this post).
10/17 - Well, after a full reset, my scale synced yesterday's weight and I didn't end up losing it in the factory reset after all! Yesterday I did end up having a sweet tooth moment of weakness and snacked on two Fannie May Candies - Trinidads. The two pieces were only 160 calories so not terribly far over, but macros were not met within 10g. Boo. Today I vow to do better. I did meet all my other goals, though! I made the last bit of pizza fit into my macros for lunch and have my last meal prepped dinner tonight. It has cooled down significantly here so if it stays cool tomorrow, I might see about making a soup. So far I'm on track for all my goals though a bit further behind than I'd like on water. Speaking of, I'm going to finish this cup and go refill. Just need to get 40oz down before bed. I've had horrible luck about drinking water in a timely manner to not have to wake up in the middle of the night. I know part of that is me flushing water weight but I really really need to be better about getting in more water in the morning. I slack the most between my coffee (which I drink 50oz of water before I ever drink my coffee so I start really well) and lunch. Then I'm frantically chugging it. Oops.

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!

SW RND 275: 132.8
RGW: 132.8
Not setting an ambitious goal for the round since I was dehydrated for my start weight and I’m already back up. Would be happy if I could just legitimately weight my round start weight!
Non-scale goals:
🏃🏻♀️ or 🏋🏻♀️ work out 7/10 days
🚫 no drinking 5/10 days
📝 tracking 6/10 days
⏱️ intermittent fast 6/10 days
10/13 - 134.2. Had a major snack attack at the farmer’s market yesterday. I’m also really bad at drinking water on the weekends. I probably drank like 12 ounces yesterday 🤦🏻♀️ Today we have a fall festival at my son’s school that will probably have some delicious treats on offer. I’m going to tread lightly, though! My son is very excited to try to dunk the principal in the dunk tank. He is such a happy kindergartner 🥹
10/14 - 135.0 🏃🏻♀️ Impromptu Mexican dinner last night. I kept it balanced by drinking a margarita but eating fajitas with just one of the tortillas haha. Tried not to go wild on the chips. Definitely a salty dinner and my inadequate water consumption continued. The beginning of the week is always bittersweet. Not thrilled to be back at work but I'm a lot more disciplined when I only have to consider myself during the day and can spend a little time planning dinners. I'm sitting at a cafe drinking only black coffee despite all the tempting treats around me to start off on the right foot. Then therapy at 10 which is long overdue. Good way to start the week!
10/15 - 134.2 ⏱️🚫 My body sure likes 134ish. I went way over yesterday. I made the mistake of eating my kids' leftover quesadillas for lunch. Very fatty, high calorie, and low nutrition. It sent me down a spiral of snacking, mostly high carb foods. I know that I'll never be satiated off of processed carbs alone, and yet, there I was, eating everything in sight. Then the pot roast I made wasn't ready until 6:30 which leads to all of us snacking endlessly. I should at least be able to work out today. I found out yesterday that the company's priorities are pivoting away from most of what I'm working on, so my projects are almost all delayed. I've been a little overwhelmed by everything I have to do so I guess it's a bit of a relief? But also feels like my job is in jeopardy. I'd hate to get laid off after 6 weeks of working here! They said there isn't a reduction in headcount but I bet if this directive had happened before I got hired, they wouldn't hire anyone for this position yet (in pharma my job isn't really required until you're getting ready to go commercial; filing for commercialization is getting delayed by 6 months). I guess I'll have more time for fitness this way, eesh.
10/16 - 134.0 ⏱️🏃🏻♀️ Ugh I really need to get to tracking. That's an important part of weight loss for me and I have been utterly failing. I'll even weigh and measure food in order to track it and then never put it on MFP. So my only goal today is to write every bite!
10/17 - 133.2 ⏱️🏋🏻♀️📝 Finally got my tracking emoji. It would have been so simple to have an alcohol-free day but I decided to drink a glass of wine to finish off the opened bottle in the fridge, ugh. At least that was all I drank. Tonight my mom will be here and tomorrow DH and I have an overnight date, so these will not be dry days
I'm trying to decide how to handle dinner tonight. I made tentative plans with a neighbor to feed them but I'm not sure what to make/buy. I was thinking pizza to keep it simple but I don't really want to eat pizza, especially since I've finally made a little progress for the week. 5yo DS is home for a teacher work day today. I may take him on a bike ride while I run with him on a flatter part of the nearby rail trail.
10/18 - 132.4 📝🏃🏻♀️ Very happy with my weigh-in this morning! Dinner ended up just being us with my mom, and DH made catfish and shrimp cocktail with salad on the side so it was pretty light! I also chased Atlas, my 5yo, for 4 miles while he rode his bike so I got in a really good run in yesterday. Today I'm going to walk the dogs and do a Peloton strength workout. Tonight we have our overnight date so we'll have dinner and breakfast out, most likely. Going to try to keep tracking since that is 100% the key to weight loss for me even though it's super annoying and tedious Anyway this is the lowest my weight has been since my return (disregarding the fact that I was very close to here over a month ago, ugh. My little chart shows a slow-but-happening loss. Happy Friday everyone!

10 days. I can commit to 10 days of focusing. Here we go.
SW RND 275
10/13: 155.0. A bit higher than I've been recently, but it's not surprising. Food and drink have been a free-for-all. I did, however, get to the gym last night for my treadmill run.
10/14: 154.7. I had a pretty good day yesterday. Stayed in control of my eating (even when my husband ordered a ton of ice cream!). I did 2 walks and a treadmill run (4.25 miles).
10/15: 154.5. It wasn't the best day, food-wise, but wasn't the worst either. I can't say the McDonald's wasn't worth it, though. I know it's gross crappy food, but it's still is my guilty pleasure. So I consciously splurge on it. 2 walks and some time on the treadmill.
10/16: 153.3. I stress ate some ice cream, but other than that, I ate pretty well. Exercise was the usual, 2 walks and some walking/running on the treadmill. I just need to be more mindful of eating when I'm stressed.
10/17: 154.9. Sometimes I just have to laugh. I had a great day with my diet yesterday. I know I didn't do anything to "deserve" an extra pound and a half. I took a rest day from the gym and didn't have time to get much intentional walking, but my eating was the best it's been in a while.
10/18: 153.4. A pretty good day. I just have to work on the casual snacking on crackers throughout the day. So my goal for today is no crackers.

No intentional exercise but I did fully fall clean my grandson’s room and sifted through the toys while he wasn’t here. This included moving furniture around or out. Today he arrives for the normal 4 days. His mom has to work all 7 days this week due to yearly company project of some sort so I’ll have my hands full. He had a pumpkin patch field trip today. I can’t wait to get him off the bus and hear all about it!
10/18 -DNW- (Trend weight-DNW-) No-weigh Friday. Macros were within limits although carbs were on the higher end of my allowance due to Pasta. I made a Spaghetti Casserole with real Pasta for the gang although I avoided the garlic bread. I probably should have gotten a spaghetti squash and made mine separate (and different) but I didn’t. I’m planning a good day today. The family will eat leftovers but no more pasta for me today.! Two days in a row would surely be a disaster! I have lots of better options and need to keep eating clean and within plan at home.

Hello all! I'll hop in here. 45F just restarting a health journey.
Starting Weight: 190.9 (9/8/24 - highest ever ugh)
Mini-goal: 175 by end of year (trying to be realistic with holiday season in there)
Goal Weight: Maybe 135? More concerned with feeling good than actual number.
Habits: Walk daily, log all food, switch most soda to water, trying a 16:8 IF schedule
RND 275
10/13 - 185.8 (walked a mile, stayed under calorie goal, even passed on a late-night candy treat when my husband was indulging)
10/14 - 185.6 (no walk, but did log and stayed under calorie goal, water only, carried on the streak of meeting my IF hours)
10/15 - 185.4 (today is my oldest's 21st.. and he actually wants to spend it out with us. I'll try to make mindful choices, but I'll also not feel too bad. The win is that my adult kid wants to celebrate with ME.. lol.. so we'll be doing that. Didn't end up walking or meeting calorie deficit, but stayed under maintenance best as i can tell.)
10/16 - 185.8 (not mad at that number. My weight bounces a bit anyway, and considering it was eating out, a drink, and dessert with my boy yesterday. Today I did manage to walk, log meals, stick to my IF hours, and stayed under calorie goal.)
10/17 - 185.4 (walked with my middle son and chatted, logged all, stayed under calorie goal)
10/18 - 185.2 (walked though not as long as I ought, logged meals, stayed under calorie goal within time. Tomorrow is my 22nd anniversary and we'll be going out.. again. So I am.. again.. hoping to make decently mindful choices - no fried foods - but also not feel bad if I splurge a bit. This was apparently the worst 10 days to jump in, with our celebrations being here. lol)

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.

quote "lifted" from @Blueberries59
10/19: start of day 3 off my feet; 11 left to go. I am not a good sitter so this quote was the perfect reminder that, in this case, the best results will come from doing almost nothing. The good news: being in good shape means I can navigate well on crutches from one space to another. I'm grateful for two strong legs, good balance, and loving people helping me through this.

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

Round 275
Oct 13 - 22, 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
10/13 – 133.8 yesterday was not perfect, but the results of the previous two days wore off
10/14 – 134.2 attended get together at friend’s house yesterday, then came home and ate a WHOLE bag of chocolate covered pretzels. Anyhow, today start a challenging stretch for me. DH will be out of town for 10 days. In the past, I don’t cook and just eat ice cream and other junk while he is gone. My goal for myself it to actually eat meals while he is gone. Preferably, home cooked and trackable meals.
10/15 – 134.2 I actually ate somewhat like a normal person yesterday. But I finished my day with microwaved popcorn and I think there may be some sodium at play this morning. (Oops, Happy Anniversary to me and DH - I totally forgot until I saw today's posting date. :P )
10/16 – 133.2 This number I think is real. My highs after a binge are not real, and sadly, my super lows are likely not real as well. Not losing at a super fast pace, but given my current approach, that makes sense. Fortunately, there is no real deadline, even though I had hoped for 130 for my 63rd b-day, and that is coming too soon (next round).
10/17 – 132.8 Glad I that for once, I am actually eating real food while DH is away and the scale is reflecting this. Trying to psych myself to exercise. Top floor of the home, the heat is not working (will take to November to repair) and that is where the equipment is. Last I looked the room was about 50 degrees. Should not stop me, and might even feel good once I get moving, but its one more excuse. @Pezhedit was a Cystoscopy and it came back clean.
10/18 – 133.8 Totally expected.
10/19 – 133.8 repeat of same behavior BUT I am very grateful the number stayed the same. I actually have leggings on and will head out for a walk as soon as the sun comes up!

@baodell17724 congratulations on your journey so far! I’m familiar with pennsyltucky, that is an extreme culture shock.4 -

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

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!

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!

10/19- 172.2 Pizza Jump! My early morning start yesterday threw my off a wee bit. DH is the one who really suffered, he had worked until 1am before the 3:30am surprise. Only got to bed a few hours before he got called back for a work emergency.
So when I got home from gardening I found a zombie husband with wings and pepperoni pizza. I joined the party and ate two giant slices of pizza.
I had waited too long to eat my main meal so I was easily swayed to make a weak decision.
Now to run the gauntlet of a social weekend!5 -

10 days. I can commit to 10 days of focusing. Here we go.
SW RND 275
10/13: 155.0. A bit higher than I've been recently, but it's not surprising. Food and drink have been a free-for-all. I did, however, get to the gym last night for my treadmill run.
10/14: 154.7. I had a pretty good day yesterday. Stayed in control of my eating (even when my husband ordered a ton of ice cream!). I did 2 walks and a treadmill run (4.25 miles).
10/15: 154.5. It wasn't the best day, food-wise, but wasn't the worst either. I can't say the McDonald's wasn't worth it, though. I know it's gross crappy food, but it's still is my guilty pleasure. So I consciously splurge on it. 2 walks and some time on the treadmill.
10/16: 153.3. I stress ate some ice cream, but other than that, I ate pretty well. Exercise was the usual, 2 walks and some walking/running on the treadmill. I just need to be more mindful of eating when I'm stressed.
10/17: 154.9. Sometimes I just have to laugh. I had a great day with my diet yesterday. I know I didn't do anything to "deserve" an extra pound and a half. I took a rest day from the gym and didn't have time to get much intentional walking, but my eating was the best it's been in a while.
10/18: 153.4. A pretty good day. I just have to work on the casual snacking on crackers throughout the day. So my goal for today is no crackers.
10/19: 156.4. I have no explanation for this jump... I did well yesterday (no crackers!), without excess sodium or carbs. But I guess it is what it is, still trusting the process. Unfortunately, I'm having a bit of hip pain that I'm guessing will sideline me from running for a while. Waking is quite painful at times, but I will do what I can. I still need to get my boys out of the house once in a while!
