Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 277
Replies

RND 27710/23: 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!)
10/30: 229.0 lbs (Unless this was a fluke in the scale, I LOST .2 lbs having snacked on THREE small croissants with pumpkin-butter last night? Today is DEFINITELY a total fast day, except for 0-calorie beverages)
10/31: 229.2 lbs (Well, it WAS a scale fluke, or Halloween prank! I did a total fast yesterday, drank lots of water, but the scale shows I'm UP .2 lbs! LOL)
11/1: 228.6 lbs (Ahhh... well, TODAY's weight makes more sense! LOL)
SW RND 277 - November 1st, 2024 - 228.6 lbs
(MFP SW - 6/1/2024 - 286.2 lbs)
11/2: 228.8 lbs (Water weight, as well as I had a can of corn as a vegetable yesterday, so more calories compared to a green veggy.)
11/3: 229.0 lbs (Fehhh, I'm sensing a weight plateau after looking at my scale numbers these last 8 days.)
11/4: 229.2 lbs
11/5: DNW
11/6: 228.4 lbs
11/7: 228.4 lbs (Explanation: Monday morning I had both my COVID and Shingles vaccinations (big mistake, having both at the same time, as by Monday evening I started with weak legs, sore arms, fever, sweats, and major "blahs"... which totally wiped me out Tuesday. Stayed in bed the whole day. Better by Thursday, but still not recovered completely.)

RGW-159 Thank you @quiltingjaine !!!🌸
11/4-163- I hope to stay on track. I’m avoiding bread and foods with lectins and feel good.
11/5-164- Got quite a bit of walking in yesterday. Off to a couple of nights away with DH and hoping to make good choices. He’s got meetings so I brought a sewing machine and no scale.
11/7-Heading back home and get to have lunch with our adult son on the way. I somehow walked 10 miles yesterday, so I’ve gotten a kickstart on that. Hope to continue it by giving exercise a priority.7 -
@Aquabear1 Welcome! Thanks so much for joining us. I think you'll love this great group of people and all the support they offer!2

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 190.6
11/02 -190.4- (Trend weight -192.0-)
11/03 -189.0- (Trend weight -191.7-)

11/05 -DNW- (Trend weight -DNW-)
11/06 -192.2- (Trend weight-191.6-) I ate and drank my way through the nail-biting play-by-play of the election last night switching back & forth between CNN and Fox News. I’m not surprised the scale jumped way up. I need lots of water today and TMI would help. I will try to eat extra low calorie and carb but keep foods high in volume with fiber and protein to keep me full and on track for today. I need some sort of drastic measure as long as its healthy. I’m glad to see my trend weight didn’t change so perhaps I can keep that level or moving in the right direction with some careful planning. No contractor today as they chose to stay up late for election night and sleep in today. There is no reason I shouldn’t get in some bit of exercise today. It’s supposed to be day 3 of rain but I have my exercise bike in the house so no excuses! Dancing is also nice too. I haven’t done that in a minute!
11/07 -192.2- (Trend weight-191.9-) I had a good day yesterday except for the exercise part that I promised myself. Weight is the same but that’s probably the trickle up still from election night showing up and being neutralized by my good diet yesterday. I’m aiming for another good day today as my weekend with my DGS and DD starts. I’ve got to resist all temptations, especially those that come with children around Halloween! I had quite the lazy day yesterday, no reason I couldn’t have fit in more movement and intentional exercise. I just felt like I needed a break but I’m not sure from what. I didn’t even get dressed. It felt good to stick to my eating plan.

11/07 - 157.2 - An expected bounce up after a last-minute stop for fast food at dinner. BF and I were running errands and it took longer than expected. We were both terribly hungry and decided, despite knowing we wouldn't feel good later, to stop and grab food. I'm actually quite shocked I'm not up further! I'm sticking to macros today no matter what. I'm a tiny bit behind on water, but nothing I can't make up quickly. I also have a plan for Friday and Saturday evening for dinners at home since we're going out Sunday for Veteran's Day. BF and I don't get off work Monday for the actual day but fortunately the restaurant is allowing veterans to reserve Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday for their free meal. We're going with Fam since they'll be in town that day. I also think I forgot to mention that I was selected as Client of the Month with my coaching program so that's exciting. Even if I don't see all the changes yet, my effort is recognized and I know others are seeing the changes. The downfall of me living in my body - the tiny changes add up over time for others, especially when there's a few weeks between seeing each other, but I see it daily so I don't notice them. I'm simply glad to know I'm on the right track, especially as the scale weight is going up, even if the mirror is starting to show some progress.

Previous Day's Comments11/02 - DNP

11/04 - Friday night we had Asian food out so I always bounce up and retain water. Saturday was an absolute mess with missing breakfast, snacking on whatever I could find at the fire station to keep from feeling faint, and then having lunch delayed by nearly 2 hours due to poor planning on the departments behalf and a training event that went over by nearly 2 hours. I was able to stay on track Sunday and I'm finally seeing the benefit. Coach has upped macros and believes I'm still not quite at maintenance so I have to get through maintenance before hitting our planned surplus. So much food! I'm happy. I travel Wednesday for a day trip for work so no gym, but went to day and plan to go tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday for my regular routine. I also have lunch and dinner meal prepped for the week so I can take my lunch and snacks with on my trip since it's a 2 hour drive, no flights. Feeling pretty good despite the scale upticks.
11/05 - I'll take whatever drop I get, even the smallest one. I've got today pre-planned and tomorrow as well for my day trip down to a work site to still meet macros so my only focus will have to be to get my steps in (I'll also likely miss my daily dog walk depending on when I get home) and hit my water goal (1 gallon/128oz). Today I knocked out the gym, took the dogs for our walk, and voted. Now to focus on work and be productive!
11/06 - Managed to get home far earlier than expected due to the onsite engineer being tied up starting over lunch on another site. No gym but after this call I'm listening in on I'll take the dogs on a walk so I can get my steps (I'm alarmingly low on steps right now) and get some good fresh air. I'm behind on water a bit and just had to work my macros around due to a spur-of-the-moment breakfast taco offering on site that I couldn't turn down (they'd see it as very rude, just how that site runs and glad I know that from those years working there). I managed to make it work out with macros, though, so all will be well today. I have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and my pre-workout snack logged for tomorrow so I'll need to figure out the snacks to meet macros which makes life a bit easier for me. I feel confident I can make this week a good solid effort despite the hiccups

11/4 223.6 ~ Time is flying by. Not by choice but I'm feeling a part of the "ick" group too. I just can't focus for more than a few hours. I did get a good workout in this morning,(added HIIT back in so worked up a sweat) so there's a start.
11/5 223.2
11/6 DNW Ate late last night and then didn't sleep well so I didn't want to face the scale! Today is my birthday. My husband kept asking me what I wanted to do.... I tried to think > you don't need food to celebrate >, but it didn't work. So, I'm opting for sushi for dinner and probably a cocktail. Then, I have 4 more days to right-size the ship.
11/7 DNW ~ The sushi was good, I'm pretty sure it and the apple martini would have shown on the scale, so rather than spoil my mood, I'll true up tomorrow

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 277 (my 207th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
This 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.

11/08- 173.0 I did not drink enough water. My calories weren’t perfect but not bad.
Slamming the brakes on my October gain is a process. The car has stopped but I haven’t exactly gotten it turned around. I’m visualizing a three point turn in my head- forwards then backwards then sideways then forwards again. Only it feels more like a hundred point turn!!!
I do have that very committed feeling in my core. I’m going to have to be really tenacious though. I am going to make progress. I am going to turn this car around.
The outage for DH has ended a bit early so our meal schedule will normalize. He starts a four day weekend today after two weeks straight of 12+ days. It looks like he is planning to relax and eat nachos. I’ve already told him to do the nacho part while I am out! I want no part of it.8 -

I have been truant the past day or two.
It has been a mix of discipline and abandon. Last night we went to a fund raiser for a very good cause, featuring food stations set up all over the building. They offered tastes from many of the great eateries in town. I have to say I did not even think about what I was eating (calories). I was over full at the end.
Today I will exercise my privilege to vote.

Lots going on today. Rotary lunch (shredded beef tamale on the menu), annual full body dermatology exam (I am skin cancer prone), then a haircut.

No skin problems this year. Nice! As I waited in the exam room in my birthday suit, I had time to wish I was in better shape. Somewhat motivating. I had her burn (freeze?) a couple dark spots off my face (DW special request. HA!)
Sitting in the woods today. Hoping to put some meat in the freezer. If not, I will just enjoy the outdoors and be grateful. LOTS of functional exercise.

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.8 -
@Skyleen75: I"m with you on the nachos, that's where I draw the line! They singlehandedly may have been responsible for at least one 20 lb weight gain in my life...
@Blueberries59: "Psychology is a funny thing. Ticking down in weight makes me feel strong, slimmer, alive. But ticking back up to that same very same weight makes me feel weary, bloated, meh. Go figure."
This is so very true- that's how I feel right now, even within 2 lbs of my maintenance weight. 2 lbs feels like 20... That's why the scale is so important to me, it keeps me in reality.6 -

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.

@Judefit1 @Skyleen75 Funny you should say that about nachos. When I went from 147 lbs to 253 I knew it was mostly from nachos that I kept making at home. I'm not sure the science of it, but I promise that I gained over 100 pounds eating them multiple times per week. I stay away from them now.3

11/06 -192.2- (Trend weight-191.6-)
11/07 -192.2- (Trend weight-191.9-) I had a good day yesterday except for the exercise part that I promised myself. Weight is the same but that’s probably the trickle up still from election night showing up and being neutralized by my good diet yesterday. I’m aiming for another good day today as my weekend with my DGS and DD starts. I’ve got to resist all temptations, especially those that come with children around Halloween! I had quite the lazy day yesterday, no reason I couldn’t have fit in more movement and intentional exercise. I just felt like I needed a break but I’m not sure from what. I didn’t even get dressed. It felt good to stick to my eating plan.
11/08 -191.8- (Trend weight-191.9-) I decided to weigh today on my normal no-weigh Friday. I don’t think it’s a direct comparison to the days prior due to such an early time and it being prior to normal routines including bathroom habits, but I knew I had a good day yesterday and couldn’t wait to see some results. Higher than I thought but still a drop of nearly ½ lb so I’ll run with it! Last night after my snack I almost got up roaming and looking for more to stuff in my pie hole. Then, I reminded myself that I don’t have to be stuffed full until belly is protruding to be finished. It’s okay to be satisfied. I don’t have to be bloated and overloaded with food and feeling that way-too-familiar over-logged feeling. I recognized that I was satisfied and that’s all I needed to be in that moment. I had eaten enough dinner and had a nice well-rounded snack and that was enough. I was no longer hungry. Just bored and habitual. I was able to get past it as the little talk with myself worked because it was truth. Now I just need to talk myself into getting up off my lazy derriere and start exercising again.

Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳

11/4 223.6 ~ Time is flying by. Not by choice but I'm feeling a part of the "ick" group too. I just can't focus for more than a few hours. I did get a good workout in this morning,(added HIIT back in so worked up a sweat) so there's a start.
11/5 223.2
11/6 DNW Ate late last night and then didn't sleep well so I didn't want to face the scale! Today is my birthday. My husband kept asking me what I wanted to do.... I tried to think > you don't need food to celebrate >, but it didn't work. So, I'm opting for sushi for dinner and probably a cocktail. Then, I have 4 more days to right-size the ship.
11/7 DNW ~ The sushi was good, I'm pretty sure it and the apple martini would have shown on the scale, so rather than spoil my mood, I'll true up tomorrow
11/8 224.3 ~ Truing up as promised. Yesterday wasn't horrible...but it wasn't perfect either. Husband (oops, just realized I didn't log this) had purchased a piece of Salted Carmel Spice Cake from Portillos for my birthday. I don't really enjoy cake, but this cake is to die for. I didn't eat it for on my birthday but we split it last night. Time to get back to it... I've been less mobile as well the past two days.

Non-scale goals:
📝 - track 7/10 days

🏃🏻♀️or 🏋🏻♀️ - work out 7/10 days
Tracked for prior day
11/2 - 132.4 🏃🏻♀️📝 We had sushi last night and my weight reflects it! Hopefully it’s mostly water. My calories were maintenance at worst. Today is rest day, busy with the family. We were supposed to go to Chuck E Cheese today and I’m so glad we cancelled! There is no way I’ve seen to eat healthy food there. They do have a salad bar but I can’t fathom trusting it 😬 Today is a rest day fitness-wise, and we have an adult bowling birthday party tonight. Gonna have to keep myself in check! Weekends are such a fickle friend.
11/3 - 133.2
11/4 - 133.8 🏃🏻♀️🚫 Normal weekend gain. I don't think I ate quite as much as normal but who knows? Not me, because I didn't track anything! Ugh. I started to track both days but utterly failed. I'm pretty sure I had my daily calorie allotment in beer on Saturday night so anything I consumed otherwise was just icing on that cake. Yesterday I made halloween candy cookies for the kids and of course had to have one (actually worth it because they're SO good! All the chocolatey candies cut up and put into browned butter chocolate chip cookies with salt sprinkled on top). Anyway, today is a reset. It's always easier when the kids are in school. I have a 30 minute run scheduled, and I have to walk the dogs. I don't love running with them with their frequent sniff/pee/poo stops. I also want to do a leg workout if I can squeeze it in. Happy Monday everyone!
11/5 - 132.4 🏃🏻♀️🏋🏻♀️🚫📝 Happy Election Day for others in the US! I’m out poll greeting in Virginia now but it’s kind of a trickle of voters so I figured I can post. I took the dogs out for a stroll this morning and will go for a short run later. I woke up super hungry so I had breakfast. Going to keep it light until I meet up with my neighbor friends for calzones for dinner. Not expecting to make any great strides on weight loss today.
11/6 - 131.0 🏃🏻♀️ Boy, I am not cheerful today. Tried to wring out the bad feelings at hot yoga but it will take more than that...maybe another 4 years or so. Anyway, today is a rest day so in addition to the yoga I'll just walk the dogs. Dinner is chicken tikka masala because my husband is away (he hates the smell of Indian spices in the house. It should clear out be the time he's home on Friday).
11/7 - 131.2 📝 Happy with this number today considering I haven't been laser-focused. My 5yo asked for frozen yogurt this evening so I'll have to plan for that. Have a dog walk, a short run, and a little strength training planned.
11/8 - 131.8 🏃🏻♀️ Not a lot of non-scale goals met yesterday and it shows. It's been a rough week mentally. DH is back from Europe. We're home together for the weekend, then I go to the Bay Area on Monday for the work week. Hopefully the kids manage through the instability this month! Hopefully I manage through the instability this month, actually. Today I have a long run planned. Going to try to do it early because it's going to be hot & humid again today. I turned the AC on yesterday evening when it was 78 degrees outside and 75 degrees inside. This is not right for November. Not even in Virginia.

11/08 - 156.9 - I will take this slight drop! I'm feeling pretty good today and had a solid leg/booty/low back day to feel like I've actually made progress. I know arm/shoulders day is a good workout and my arms are absolutely getting stronger, but it's my lowest weight day all week so I sometimes walk away feeling like I didn't do as much, especially compared to my leg days when I'm moving a lot of weight. Nature of the gym, though, so I'm always happy when I get to finish the week with a strong leg day. Food is all pre-planned for today and need to get BF to help me figure out meal prep dinner ideas for next week so I can go grocery shopping tomorrow or Sunday morning. No big plans this weekend except for a Veteran's Day dinner Sunday night (Veteran's Day is Monday but the special is extended to the weekend to accommodate more people) and the usual grocery shopping and meal prepping. Going to hang out at home if possible and relax

Previous Day's Comments11/02 - DNP

11/04 - Friday night we had Asian food out so I always bounce up and retain water. Saturday was an absolute mess with missing breakfast, snacking on whatever I could find at the fire station to keep from feeling faint, and then having lunch delayed by nearly 2 hours due to poor planning on the departments behalf and a training event that went over by nearly 2 hours. I was able to stay on track Sunday and I'm finally seeing the benefit. Coach has upped macros and believes I'm still not quite at maintenance so I have to get through maintenance before hitting our planned surplus. So much food! I'm happy. I travel Wednesday for a day trip for work so no gym, but went to day and plan to go tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday for my regular routine. I also have lunch and dinner meal prepped for the week so I can take my lunch and snacks with on my trip since it's a 2 hour drive, no flights. Feeling pretty good despite the scale upticks.
11/05 - I'll take whatever drop I get, even the smallest one. I've got today pre-planned and tomorrow as well for my day trip down to a work site to still meet macros so my only focus will have to be to get my steps in (I'll also likely miss my daily dog walk depending on when I get home) and hit my water goal (1 gallon/128oz). Today I knocked out the gym, took the dogs for our walk, and voted. Now to focus on work and be productive!
11/06 - Managed to get home far earlier than expected due to the onsite engineer being tied up starting over lunch on another site. No gym but after this call I'm listening in on I'll take the dogs on a walk so I can get my steps (I'm alarmingly low on steps right now) and get some good fresh air. I'm behind on water a bit and just had to work my macros around due to a spur-of-the-moment breakfast taco offering on site that I couldn't turn down (they'd see it as very rude, just how that site runs and glad I know that from those years working there). I managed to make it work out with macros, though, so all will be well today. I have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and my pre-workout snack logged for tomorrow so I'll need to figure out the snacks to meet macros which makes life a bit easier for me. I feel confident I can make this week a good solid effort despite the hiccups
11/07 - An expected bounce up after a last-minute stop for fast food at dinner. BF and I were running errands and it took longer than expected. We were both terribly hungry and decided, despite knowing we wouldn't feel good later, to stop and grab food. I'm actually quite shocked I'm not up further! I'm sticking to macros today no matter what. I'm a tiny bit behind on water, but nothing I can't make up quickly. I also have a plan for Friday and Saturday evening for dinners at home since we're going out Sunday for Veteran's Day. BF and I don't get off work Monday for the actual day but fortunately the restaurant is allowing veterans to reserve Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday for their free meal. We're going with Fam since they'll be in town that day. I also think I forgot to mention that I was selected as Client of the Month with my coaching program so that's exciting. Even if I don't see all the changes yet, my effort is recognized and I know others are seeing the changes. The downfall of me living in my body - the tiny changes add up over time for others, especially when there's a few weeks between seeing each other, but I see it daily so I don't notice them. I'm simply glad to know I'm on the right track, especially as the scale weight is going up, even if the mirror is starting to show some progress.

About Me & R277 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
👇🏻Nov Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Nov:
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… !

P:E ratio has been off the last several days. Last night I had a TCBY with a drizzle of Oreos/Reeses ….
👻🎃 Disclaimer: I’ve never been big into Halloween, so it’s no big deal for me… We NEVER get any children at our door, so we quit buying candy years ago…
Just read this:
“Those who are in shape have discipline. It’s as simple as that. They don’t eat whatever they want. They don’t work-out only when they feel like it. They don’t give into every craving they have. Want to get in shape? Get disciplined.”
Im the youngest of four children and all of us were big into sports. I remember we were a “swim team” family… Morning swim practices, where my mom dragged us out of bed. “I really don’t care that you don’t feel like getting up this morning… I really don’t feel like taking you, but we’ve made a commitment and you’re going to get up and go swim this morning.”
This dialog plays through my head often… It’s not about feelings.
“It’s a full-time job believing in yourself. No days off”.

⏱️5 min sprint/plyo.
Give myself a “D” this round. I purposely listed each goal individually, and when I injured my quadricep, it just changed everything… But… I still had PLENTY of opportunities to reach EVERY goal and chose not to … Defiant. Drifted. Discipline disappeared. November will be BETTER! See y’all in R277 with a fresh perspective. So glad it’s the start of a new month & round!
I will start next round with the same goals from this round.
You: So much wisdom this round… I appreciate all of you!
11/2 ⚖️ 131.8 💤 5hrs 🚶♀️6k 🏋️♀️20 min 💦 P:E .7:1, Pg 88
🚫⏱️
⚖️ slowly creeping up again. Not a great start with 💦, protein or movement. My body has been somewhat derailed. I now have noticeable foot pain. Couldn’t take long 🚶♀️yesterday … might need a few more days off. Bought some new tennis shoes yesterday because I sense my current shoes have lost their structure… I’ve been feeling minor foot pain the last several times I’ve played 🎾and it was quite noticeable Thursday afternoon. Time for new walking shoes as well. Let’s see how rest, ice and massage work today & tomorrow. I believe my added “plyo” ⏱️ has been impacting my feet… Will plan accordingly. Damn the injuries!
Minor changes in my routine set me back tremendously…. I don’t want to become too RIGID…. but noticing how I drift is generally the result of: 1) negative self-talk /excuses 2) procrastination and 3) minor injuries. I will nip this in the bud ASAP! My first 2 hours of each day need structure. Then, I’ve got a great jump-start to the day feeling accomplished/ disciplined. Checking off those important items as “DONE” are key to my health & well-being. Still coaching my inner-voice. Stay present & mindful.
…. Today is my DGS last soccer game of this season so it will be fabulous! And, this minor setback makes me ever-more conscious of the importance of taking care of myself! Listen to your body! Onward!
Contemplating my next BHAG! 🤔🧐
Good luck everyone and ENJOY the journey!

Flat “icky” day (except for soccer). Family worries have reappeared …. Will change some thought patterns … & try some activity today to gauge how my feet are healing…. It’s all about being grateful and present. ✅Let’s get my morning done, 💦 & a “new” start to this round! (I’ll plan a BHAG in the coming days!)

🎾one hr. Feet needed rest after. What’s a girl to do? Will try movement again today and will focus on 🏋️♀️. Slept poorly (anxious) & projecting little sleep tonight. Solid 💦.
Last year I avg 130ish in November & 129ish in Dec. Can I rationalize that I have more muscle at this point in time? probably not. But I do feel stronger, more agile,etc. Don’t want to lose that edge over foot pain.
Back to basics.
11/6 💤 3hrs 🚶♀️6k 🏋️♀️20min 💦 no tracking. Catch up today. Again, another fresh start! This one is for REAL!
11/7 ⚖️ 132.0

Zombie yesterday from no sleep. Read all day. Barely moved off the couch. 🏋️♀️”snacks” throughout day. Terrific sleep last night, so I’m ready to go today. Hopefully my foot is well.
Im still determined to make good on this round.
The scale is shockingly steady. After several months of huge, daily zigzags, this is unusual.
BHAG - I have not forgotten my desire to have a BHAG… I believe making it through the holiday season fulfilling my current goals would actually qualify as a serious BHAG. Will continue to reflect.

Quite hard to believe I’m at ⚖️132.0 six days in a row. I actually removed the scale’s batteries & re-weighed to triple-check. My foot still aching - so focused on 🏋️♀️yesterday. Posting later than usual today.
I’m not as “preoccupied” or “focused” this round regarding my #HSF journey… It is certainly not “top-of-mind” this past week. The only thing that’s been “top-of-mind” is my aching foot. My steps are trending down- & Apple Health continues to send me those reminders… Not only are my steps down, but pretty much every health indicator is trending negative. [This clearly demonstrates the value of movement to health]
SO…. On one hand, I am glad to hold the line (⚖️)… But on the other hand, my overall enthusiasm has dissipated somewhat. & to be expected as part of this journey. I’m continuing to accept the ups, the downs & the mundane. The Mind, Body & Soul - must all be nurtured & in sync!
The real test is how I choose to move forward.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 277 (my 207th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
This 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.

11/06- 173.0
11/07- 173.6
11/08- 173.0
11/09- 172.0 I needed to see some inspiration at the beginning of the weekend. We are having dinner with friends this evening and I do not know the menu. They are enthusiastic and excellent hosts, it will be my responsibility to enjoy reasonable portions.
Seeing a hint of a downward trend might help me stay the course. I have the tendency to just kind of throw my hands up and go all in with social eating.
I’m in a stage where I don’t have that luxury. When I’m consistently losing or actively maintaining I can loosen the control for a day or even weekend. A little blip up, a few days of being mindful and it’s like it never happened.
I’m not there. I allowed myself too many social days and created to many excuses to “just enjoy it this one time” the entire month of October.
The holidays are looming and I need to be on solid ground to survive.8
