10/28 - 159.0 - Bloated after a hectic weekend. We had the fire department fundraiser/appreciation dinner Saturday and then a Halloween party after. Yesterday we stayed in and lazed around but I was very far behind on water. I managed 108oz of it, though, so only 20oz shy of goal (1 gallon) but it wasn't enough to offset. I'm also incredibly sore - we had a lot of heavy lifting to set up and tear down before/after the dinner. Coach isn't changing anything this week so sticking to habits. I managed to hit all my goals yesterday except water (close though!) so hopefully today I can manage to get the water down in a timely manner and check those boxes to get this scale moving down again.

Previous Day's Comments10/23 - Day 1 and already at goal! Now to maintain or improve on that. I didn't realize I had more bloat/water weight to drop but apparently I did. I wouldn't be surprised if I don't drop off from here much and that's okay. I'm still in a slight deficit but it is small enough it won't be sudden drastic changes. I am still quite sore this week as I start increasing back to my pre-vacation weights in the gym so I'm probably holding on to some water in my muscles as well. Food was good yesterday and today is planned out to meet all my goals. I need to focus on water early so I can avoid the 2am wakeups which I did successfully last night YAY! Steps are high for the time of day already so I shouldn't have any issue meeting that goal. Meditation is done and feeling good. Now if only work would stop being stressful - 2 of my projects are terribly far behind and it's hard to catch up when I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing and still need to be taught how to do some of the work (it's a program). Very frustrating but trying my best to lower my stress and remind myself it's not my fault - I can't get in trouble for not knowing and needing to be taught. Especially since I have evidence that I'm asking for the help/guidance/teachings and I'm getting very delayed or no responses in return. I'm doing the right thing and that is all I can do.
10/24 - Slight uptick but not enough to change much. I realized I typo-ed yesterday and put 155.6 so I've corrected that. All is well here. Tonight for dinner we're going out since we'll be in town around dinner for our haircuts and it is easier. That will be my first of two untracked "intuitive" meals for the week. Tomorrow night is our annual VFD Fundraiser/Appreciation Dinner and I'll leave that as an untracked "intuitive" meal since it's a catered one. Everything else should be home and track-able (at least estimated well enough). Workouts completed and all goals met!

Hi all, I'm Amanda, 39F. Grateful for another round!
R276 SW: 133.2
R276 GW: 131.8
Non-scale goals (tracked for previous day each morning):
🏃🏻♀️ or 🏋🏻♀️ work out 7/10 days
🚫 no drinking 5/10 days
📝 tracking 6/10 days
⏱️ intermittent fast 6/10 days
10/23 - 131.6 🏋🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🚫📝 ⏱️ Grateful for the whoosh! Had a very compliant day yesterday. I could feel the water finally leaving me (read: I had to pee in the grocery store and then 30 minutes later when I got home). Probably hormonal. Had a high energy day and grocery shopped for high protein foods and a couple of dinners. Voted, lifted weights, and then went for a run. Had a work meeting with my manager to talk about work I can support while my projects are paused. Overall a very very good day! Planning on another good one today. Walked dogs a couple miles, planning to strength training, then go indoor rock climbing. Not planning on every day being this active but trying to take advantage of the lull in work. Hope everyone else is having a good start to R276!
10/24 - 131.4 🏋🏻♀️🚫📝 ⏱️ Glad to not see a rebound from the whoosh yet. I was feeling puffy late in the day and thought for sure I would. Glad to have a rest day from lifting. Yesterday when I was doing front squats I got a realllllly bad exertion headache. I inhaled some food and came back and finished the workout later but it scared me a bit. I took the dogs for a little fall color hike this morning, not very long but they got some good sniffs and I got to enjoy the color.
10/25 - 131.8 📝 ⏱️ Not mad about this fluctuation. I did go over my calories yesterday but probably not above maintenance. However, I drank beer for the first time this round. I'm really gonna have to be mindful this weekend since we have social events continuously! Today I have plans to lift and get the dogs out for a walk. We're going out for Mexican tonight so I'm keeping my calories light today and know I'll see a gain tomorrow from sodium if nothing else. Happy Friday everyone!
10/26 - 131.0 🏋🏻♀️
10/27 - 132.2
10/28 - 134.0 🏋🏻♀️ I have a lot to reflect on today. First, I'm not at all surprised about the number on the scale. We drank quite a bit on Saturday at our friends' house and I woke up yesterday to Hardee's biscuits on the table. I ate a decent lunch, but then snagged a donut at the canvassing event I went to, and then we had pizza and wings during the Bills game. Shew. We also did a trick or treating event yesterday so the candy consumption has begun. Thankfully I'm not overly tempted but I'll have to stay strong all week and longer until it's all gone.
In more long-term reflection, I am trying to really nail down my goals. I keep getting exertion headaches while lifting, so I think lifting heavy/hard while at a calorie deficit is not a good idea. I was telling myself I was going for recomposition but I think my nutrition lacks the precision that that requires, and I don't think I have the capacity to change that while raising my kids. Sure, I could be less festive on the weekends but I can't meal plan for them and then meal plan for myself. That is just not going to happen without continuous failure. So basically I could lift for maintenance and try to lose weight, or eat over my TDEE with sufficient protein and lift heavy to try to gain muscle or strength. It's something I'm going to chew on this week but even struggling with the decision is making me stall. I'm open to advice from anyone here who has experience. My nearly lifelong CICO background has me very scared to purposely overeat.

10/27 -191.6- (Trend weight-192.1-) No progress since yesterday likely due to the extra meal I threw in last night at about 10:30 pm. A turkey and avocado sandwich on low carb / low calorie bread. It was “approved” food but put me over my calorie and carb limit so I’m grateful for no big jump on the scale. Today my son & I will go out-of-town to pick up things for the grandchildren’s “special” Halloween goodie bags. There is a new restaurant that folks are raving about that we will try later for dinner that is just a little further Southeast of that town. I will try to order responsibly and Certainly No Dessert! However, I will still expect a bump up tomorrow due to fluid retention. Not just from the restaurant meal but from all the sitting too. I have circulation problems which causes the fluids to pool around my ankles and not get pushed out easily. I’ll work on that issue tomorrow when I’m home. Have a great Sunday everyone!
10/28 -192.2- (Trend weight-192.2-) An expected uptick from the travel and new restaurant. It was very nice that my oldest daughter and her partner decided to meet us. Food was good. I brought half home and ate it last night for dinner although it was very late.

@pezhed
Amanda,
Since you asked…. I am not an expert, but this is what is working for me:
It’s complicated, right?! Everyone is different. One strategy is to reach goal weight through nutrition AND include strength /functional training to maintain & strengthen muscle during this time - will keep you fit / tone while reaching goal weight. (Body weight/small weights is enough). Once goal weight is reached, then start to add heavier weights. I had never LIFTED before in my life, and so trying to lift weights, while losing weight was not right for me. This timing is different for everyone.
I have been trying to lose fat and gain muscle since November ‘23. I do an InBody scan every three months (one due soon) to provide feedback because the scale has been constant. Thankfully, I my body composition is improving, although it’s much much slower than hoped for…. It’s a journey!
I discovered the P:E (WOE.) It is working for me. If you want to learn more, you can look in my “about me” or look online.
Some may suggest to heavy weight train immediately, but I was not able to do that,… and it did not work for me …. Quite wise of you to evaluate what’s happening and make adjustments … Try it for a few weeks & then see how it goes! I have found that I have fallen in love with learning how to take care of myself and the nuances of my body… I am nowhere near where I want to be but also embrace #HSF (Healthy, strong, fit) is a lifelong commitment!
I’m hoping you get a lot of different suggestions/input to help conduct your own research… I wish you the best! ONWARD!
😎🤗Carolyn

Thanks for your positive comments @judefit1 and @itladyee . Today certainly is a new day and after a better night’s sleep and in a better frame of mind I’ve returned to logging my food and actually went to a aqua gym class. I just need to remember not to let those slipped days break my resolve - this is not a sprint.

Save your "base" (or template) post somewhere else. Then, you know exactly where it's at, update it, and then copy and paste it here.
By somewhere else, I mean Notepad, Word, or a notes app if you're doing it on your phone. I use Evernote, which I can access on both my computer and my phone.
There are a few other ways to find your last entry. If using a computer, you can press "CTRL" key and letter "F" (find). You will get a little box at the top and you can type in your user name. It will show you each time you posted (or if someone else referenced you). If nothing, just go back a page and continue searching until you find your last entry.
You can also save it as a "draft". Update it, post and then save as a draft again. This only becomes a challenge when you want to post something else

@Chapter_3 thanks so much for the rundown of what has worked for you. I think probably getting to my goal weight and then adding heavier weights will probably be my best bet considering the headaches I've had the past few days. Hopefully then I can eat at maintenance or a slight surplus and build more strength. I'll continue using lighter dumbbells to build muscular endurance and maintain strength until then. I just hate the idea of losing muscle as I lose weight I guess. I'm impatient and I think that's really what this all boils down to.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 276 (my 206th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
This round sees no planned travel, so is a good opportunity to have the most perfect round, want to stay strong & make the round a successful one.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to weigh less at the end of the round than the start
• be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
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 youngest 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.

10/23 142.4 – 7.52 miles walked. Good start to the round, back to weight when I left for Turkey.
10/24 141 – 11 miles walked. Pleased with this woosh, just shows what sticking to the plan does.
10/25 141 – 9.82 miles walked, & the whoosh stuck !
10/26 141 – 7.96 miles walked.
10/27 141.8 – (trend 142.1) Guessing this is yesterday’s pizza night with the extra sodium & carbs even though calories were on point. Walked an amazing 13.45 miles. The start was at the Pontcysyllte Aquaduct; where very atmospheric mist hung around the hills. Which as we walked along the Llangollen canal, quickly burnt off and became warm autumn sunshine. This l showed up well at the Horseshoe Falls that we reached, before we walked back.
10/28 141.4 – (trend 142) 8.34 miles walked.
10/29 141.4 – (trend 141.9) 7.87 miles walked.

@blueberries59 Words of wisdom!!! This is exactly what I needed to read this morning.
I had to tell DH not to buy Halloween candy a month early. We ALWAYS end up eating a ton over the month and rebuying to hand out.4 -

10/23: 231.8 lbs (Yesterday was a 500-calorie 'fast day')
10/24: 232.6 lbs (I guess the half-bottle of white wine and 4 cheddar rice cakes - and not enough water - were the culprits!)
10/25: 230.8 lbs (Yesterday, was a total fast day - except for morning coffee and unsweetened herbal tea. It was easy doing the fast, as I got totally agitated with my food delivery person who totally flaked out with my grocery order and I ended up in a fight with the supermarket! So I didn't feel like eating! I think all the aggravation burned extra calories. Problem was resolved in my favor, eventually.)
10/26: 229.8 lbs (Yesterday I was tired physically and took TWO naps during the day... but managed to "trudge" through 2 hours of peddling, but with four breaks inbetween. Found out I have a new vegetable I HATE, and threw away! Edamame, which are young soybeans.)
10/27: 229.2 lbs (More energy yesterday for peddling. Yesterday, I cooked a HUGE new VAT of cabbage soup. Hoping I can make room for at least 4 quart containers in my freezers. In any case, I'll be eating A LOT of cabbage soup this coming week! LOL)
10/28: 229.4 lbs (Two big bowls of cabbage soup yesterday! LOL Wondering how many of you went on the "cabbage soup diet" which was all the craze some years back???)
10/29: 229.2 lbs (Today, is normally my 500-calorie "fast" day, but I dunno!)

10/28 156.6
10/29 157 The last two days were probably a bit of a false low, so this uptick was expected. Nutrition was good but water and exercise are still both low most days. I have a doctor’s appointment today with blood work. I’m excited to see what the 35 lb. weight loss and changes in my food choices does to those results. I’m already way down on my blood pressure meds from when I began back in March.

About Me & R276 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” & “Healthy Strong Fit” 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: Protein g 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, 6x per round. 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)!!!!

Rotating 115g to 125g 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… !

I pre-tracked protein shake then forgot it. Quite easy to fall under protein. Solid day but was still sore from previous day so took it easy. Today will be another “physical” day with 🏋️♀️⏱️.
This round I got hung up on the daily scale, somewhat… vs the process. I decided to fast and that threw me off my plan to build muscle. In reality, the “daily” scale should not be a “priority” if I am focusing to lose fat / gain muscle. My body fluctuates. A LOT. It still bothers me if it ticks up, but of course, not if it ticks down. I am getting better to not let the scale rule my day… But I cannot deny that it certainly impacts my mood, however nuanced. I should know better! I’m thinking next round, I’ll weigh every three days to see how that shift impacts my mood/ determination & self discipline. I remember when I first started JGMTD that I weighed every three days… perhaps best for me? Onward!

10/23 130.2 Overboard on protein yesterday. I strained a quadricep playing tennis so 🚫🏋️♀️after. Will nurse it today. Gosh, I wrote out my goals yesterday for this round, so I hope I don’t need to adjust Looking forward to a good day of rest, walking, and maybe some 🏋️♀️upper body.
10/24 🚶♀️11k 🏋️♀️10min 📚💤8hrs 💦P:E .9, P88g (missed Protein goal)
Quadricep still painful but walked anyway. Better today. 🏋️♀️brief upper body. (Did skull crushers which are NOT my fav because I’m always afraid I’m going to crush my skull). Feeling those puppies this morn!
Today – 🏋️♀️30 min & 🚶♀️. Rest quad one more day. DGS this afternoon & Mexican with the ladies this eve. Will order ceviche! Wont adjust my R276 activity goals downward because I pledge to catch up.
NSV: Went shopping yesterday and purchased a skirt, pants and a couple of tops…. SIZE…. SMALL! (Size 6). TBH I could’ve purchased the 4, but I wasn’t 100% confident I would stay “here” I gave myself a little wiggle room. Plus, I’m not 30! Felt really good tho! I know many of us have yo-yoed throughout the years (owning multiple, MULTIPLE clothes sizes: me: sizes 2-14) so purchases on the lower-end can be daunting… But I went for it yesterday.

10/25 🚶♀️8k 🏋️♀️10min 📚💤8hrs
Did not track Mexican dinner. Had shrimp Fajitas/requested “no oil” and just a few chips. One mezcal /lime juice. I consider that a victory. Surprisingly, pretty good sleep last night.
Attempting a little tennis this morning. I think my quad is back almost 95%. Will hit other goals except holding off on ⏱️ one more day. Happy weekend!
10/26 ⚖️132.0 💤 7hrs 🚶♀️8k 🏋️♀️10min 💦 P:E .80 (Tiramisu); Pg 100 🎾 2hrs
We ate late again last night… The last night out with the “Birthday 🎂” mindset. Had a wonderful time! ⚖️ - no doubt this reflects the late nite. I chose wisely but then…. split a tiramisu with hubby. And actually, it was the BEST tiramisu I’ve ever had!
Felt good to get out on the tennis court again however, my quad is definitely not fully healed. Will take the weekend off … and will plan my fuel accordingly. ⏱️ goals are at risk this round. 😳😢
DGS soccer today and 🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️!
I have to force myself to 🏋️♀️!

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.

10/29: surprise! Either I'm balancing better on the scale, or the Sicilian pizza from Saturday night had me higher than I knew. The foot boot probably doesn't weigh as much as I thought. Today marks 2 weeks post-surgery and a little stronger every day.
it's my son's 38th birthday- I'll make a rare trip to FB to post a pic of him- he actually loves that.8 -

Travel day yesterday along with travel food.
Trip to Boone, NC for the wedding was good. We saw the tip of the iceberg regarding damage, but I was encouraged by what I saw happening. People are resilient.
On the way home we stopped for a couple days at New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia. Stunning beauty. Fall color.
We return with a lot of yard work to get done. Lawn is covered in leaves. Should be home for this entire round so time to make a dent in it. I can’t wrap my head around November being a part of this round.

Accomplished a lot of yard work yesterday, and a lot of paperwork for my parents. Stopped in to visit with them also.

Bad social day yesterday. Lots of salt, and food, and no TMI.
I am a skin bag full of retained water, chow and other. I feel like a water balloon.
Not worried, it will go away. Onward.

Did a yoga class at the gym yesterday. Long time since the last one. Ouch. I should keep it up and do at least a few “asanas” each day in addition to my usual screentimeasana.

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!

10/23 – DNW
10/24 – 134.4 Stumbled for a few days, but made it back quickly. I’ll take that win!
10/25 – 134.8 did not report in, distracting day
10/26 – 135.6 Oh well, yesterday was going to go well enough and I should be some sort of 134. On short notice, I needed to entertain my sister and BIL. He is celiacs, so easy solution is pizza with his being gluten free, and then Haagen Daz Ice cream that they (and I) love. Ate a little heavy with them, then binged as soon as they left (an entertaining type issue that I do). Unfortunately, today was my target day that I referenced back in September. It is my father’s celebration of life (one year), as well as my 63rd birthday. I wanted get back to 130. It did not happen, BUT I am looking at it as, had I not made any effort during those months, my weight would be higher. I will get through today, and then work on my focus again.
No time for reading posts unfortunately, but I saw a gorgeous new baby. Congrats @itladyee
10/27 – 136.0 Opps. Long day yesterday
10/28 – DNW
10/29 – DNW Trying to get back on track. Sister and BIL leave town tonight. I have eaten an entire box of chocolates in 24 hours and numerous pints of Ben and Jerry Ice Cream since they arrived. All when no one is around. I need to get back to normal.

Hi all, I'm Amanda, 39F. Grateful for another round!
R276 SW: 133.2
R276 GW: 131.8
Non-scale goals (tracked for previous day each morning):
🏃🏻♀️ or 🏋🏻♀️ work out 7/10 days
🚫 no drinking 5/10 days
📝 tracking 6/10 days
⏱️ intermittent fast 6/10 days
10/23 - 131.6 🏋🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🚫📝 ⏱️ Grateful for the whoosh! Had a very compliant day yesterday. I could feel the water finally leaving me (read: I had to pee in the grocery store and then 30 minutes later when I got home). Probably hormonal. Had a high energy day and grocery shopped for high protein foods and a couple of dinners. Voted, lifted weights, and then went for a run. Had a work meeting with my manager to talk about work I can support while my projects are paused. Overall a very very good day! Planning on another good one today. Walked dogs a couple miles, planning to strength training, then go indoor rock climbing. Not planning on every day being this active but trying to take advantage of the lull in work. Hope everyone else is having a good start to R276!
10/24 - 131.4 🏋🏻♀️🚫📝 ⏱️ Glad to not see a rebound from the whoosh yet. I was feeling puffy late in the day and thought for sure I would. Glad to have a rest day from lifting. Yesterday when I was doing front squats I got a realllllly bad exertion headache. I inhaled some food and came back and finished the workout later but it scared me a bit. I took the dogs for a little fall color hike this morning, not very long but they got some good sniffs and I got to enjoy the color.
10/25 - 131.8 📝 ⏱️ Not mad about this fluctuation. I did go over my calories yesterday but probably not above maintenance. However, I drank beer for the first time this round. I'm really gonna have to be mindful this weekend since we have social events continuously! Today I have plans to lift and get the dogs out for a walk. We're going out for Mexican tonight so I'm keeping my calories light today and know I'll see a gain tomorrow from sodium if nothing else. Happy Friday everyone!
10/26 - 131.0 🏋🏻♀️
10/27 - 132.2
10/28 - 134.0 🏋🏻♀️ I have a lot to reflect on today. First, I'm not at all surprised about the number on the scale. We drank quite a bit on Saturday at our friends' house and I woke up yesterday to Hardee's biscuits on the table. I ate a decent lunch, but then snagged a donut at the canvassing event I went to, and then we had pizza and wings during the Bills game. Shew. We also did a trick or treating event yesterday so the candy consumption has begun. Thankfully I'm not overly tempted but I'll have to stay strong all week and longer until it's all gone.
In more long-term reflection, I am trying to really nail down my goals. I keep getting exertion headaches while lifting, so I think lifting heavy/hard while at a calorie deficit is not a good idea. I was telling myself I was going for recomposition but I think my nutrition lacks the precision that that requires, and I don't think I have the capacity to change that while raising my kids. Sure, I could be less festive on the weekends but I can't meal plan for them and then meal plan for myself. That is just not going to happen without continuous failure. So basically I could lift for maintenance and try to lose weight, or eat over my TDEE with sufficient protein and lift heavy to try to gain muscle or strength. It's something I'm going to chew on this week but even struggling with the decision is making me stall. I'm open to advice from anyone here who has experience. My nearly lifelong CICO background has me very scared to purposely overeat.
10/29 - 133.8 🏋🏻♀️📝 Just tracked yesterday's calories and pretty much ate maintenance. I thought I did a decent job drinking water which I thought would flush the weekend away. I did have a carb-heavy dinner at a friend's house so maybe that's part of it. I don't know. Anyway, thanks to Carolyn's help working through my thoughts on how to proceed I decided to keep lifting but not try to push myself to increase the weight. Peloton is chock full of workouts like that, so I did an upper body one yesterday. Today I'm going to go out mountain biking at some point so I don't completely miss the peak color out there! I slept like trash last night thanks to late caffeine yesterday. I'm re-watching Gilmore Girls and I cannot comprehend how they can drink coffee at all hours. If I have a sip at 1pm I am so screwed for that night! I was up until the wee hours and I'm not sure the sleep I did ultimately get was all that restful, especially since I didn't sleep until the 3yo came in to cuddle and shove his feet into my ribs as usual. Ah well. DH is roasting a chicken for dinner so I'm grateful I don't have to think about dinner tonight!

10/24–164-Quilting gals coming here today then guild meeting tonight. Hopefully I can get some sort of a walk in.
10/28-165-Hoping to get a good start since it’s Monday. I’ve been listening to The Plant Paradox and it is very interesting and makes sense. It’s basically avoiding lectins, sugar and eating organic. I’ve been incorporating kefir into each day. I absolutely have got to work in a walk today.

10/23 134.0 @5:30am Community Bingo tonight
10/24 133.5 Amazed since bingo dinner was a 4” section of sub. I pulled out all of the soft bread and ate the crusts with the turkey, roast beef, cheese and tomato. Added 1/2 T mayo. Skipped the potato salad and watermelon. Got up early to make blueberry muffins for the guys who drink coffee at the clubhouse. DH’s suggestion since we are going to drown in sourdough starter “discard.”
10/25 134.5 I can NOT keep baked goods in the house! They leap into my mouth when I walk by!!! I got over 8 hours sleep last night and I’m dragging. Hope I’m not getting what DH has!
10/26 134.5 (I think) Got reasonable sleep (7.5 hr) slight headache and my throat feels funny
10/27 134.5 Slept well last night, my throat is fine. DH is being good about using his nebulizer and taking meds. He went over to play poker yesterday-an indicator that he is feeling better.
10/28 134.5 Meeting across town today Yesterday I sliced the remaining bread and froze it with parchment in between the slices and I made a batch of waffles and put them in the freezer. Feeling quite proud of myself at the moment. LOL
10/29 133.5 Yesterday was a good day except for a touch of headache at my right temple. I left my meeting during the demo/class because I wanted to get home before it became a full blown migraine. Fortunately it was a good, quiet afternoon at home.7 -

10/28 -192.2- (Trend weight-192.2-) An expected uptick from the travel and new restaurant. It was very nice that my oldest daughter and her partner decided to meet us. Food was good. I brought half home and ate it last night for dinner although it was very late.
10/29 -194.2- (Trend weight—192.4) Pizza yesterday with my son after early voting. I didn’t expect dinner out but my son really wanted to make voting day “an occasion”. With his autism he is pretty much a creature of habit so because we’ve dined out after voting in the past, he thinks it’s a thing. I don’t eat pizza often anymore like I did in my younger days. I just don’t “crave it” like I used to. But it was good. Wow, what it does to the scale though! I’m going to focus on lots of water today and extra low carb to go with the low calorie plan. It’s supposed to be warmer and beautiful here today. A Capri kind of day. Enjoy yours my friends!
10/30 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)
10/31 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
