    I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

    Lowest weight 142 lbs (2019)
    Re-start JGMTD Feb 2024 @ 204 lbs

    Round 275 End Weight 172.8

    10/23- 171.6
    10/24- 173.0
    10/25- 173.0
    10/26- 173.0
    10/27- 173.2
    10/28- 173.0
    10/29- 172.8
    10/30- 172.2 Don’t get me wrong, I’m appreciating the number going down but I’d love to see a sharp decline. The voice in my head says “than do the sharp decline work”.
    But I don’t want to!!!!!!!!
    I had thought October was going to be the month I officially stay under 170 but instead it’s my month of a reality check. I actually have to consistently eat less if I want results, that means weekends too. My health and diet are not a Mon-Fri job!!!!

    Sigh, DD and a gaggle of friends will be coming for her birthday weekend. She is a very healthy eater but en masse a group of early twenty something’s require regular feedings.

    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)!!!!

    👇🏻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 110-125g 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 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… !

    ✅ 💤 9hrs 🚶‍♀️13k 🏋️‍♀️10min 💦 P:E .70; Pg 66
    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 🚶‍♀️11k ⏱️7 min📚💤7hrs 💦P:E 1.4, P148g

    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.

    PS This group is filled with gifted writers (including comedians) possessing the unique ability to succinctly express many of my own thoughts & feelings…. perfectly. No reason for me to chime-in except to say thank you! Each vulnerable message touches my heart and validates my own inner-struggles. What a team we have here!

    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 🏋️‍♀️!

    Six full days left to MAKE R276 count! Onward!

    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 -192.4- (Trend weight-192.5-) Nice big drop today. I took a page out of the “ Book of @baodell17724 “ and opted for a very low 650 calorie day (and low carb) day. I would also love to do this about once per week as I think it’s a great idea but I’ll have to see how it goes due to my diabetes. Yesterday I felt fine. I’m glad to have lost the pizza bloat and maybe a little fat too. I expect that I will be extra hungry today but I will get through it or yesterday was for nothing! Today is an appointment for my hair cut. Have a great hump day!
