60+ Female using trend weight
I lost an average of 2.2 lbs last round. So one thing I will keep this round is keep my new calorie goal from last round. It seemed to work.
🐸I will keep the analogy of boiling frog in my head🐸

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 278 (my 208th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
This round want to stay strong & make the round a successful one.
Goals for this round carried over from last;
• 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.

11/18 142.6 (trend 142.2) 7.18 miles walked, late lunch out with all siblings (apart from DB that lives in Turkey), made sensible choices, shared sweet with DS. Ate light the rest of the day, in fact only other food was breakfast and some fruit.

11/20 143.8 (trend 142.6) ughh! Just OMD yesterday, but that was a festive 3 course meal with invigiating colleagues, made lowest calorie choices & no alcohol, but still way over on calories & heavy snow falling meant no structured walking. And the snow has fallen again ☹, I’m going to try to get out to walk, but it depends on the state of the ground underfoot.
11/21 142.6 ( trend 142.6) 10.56 miles walked, the fresh snow was lovely to walk in & I thoroughly enjoyed marvelling at natures beauty all through the walk.
1.6 pound gained this round, I deserved it ☹. Moving on, my problem is I can talk the talk, but struggle to walk the walk with will power. Hope you’ve all done better than me, I’ll just keep plodding on, see you all next round.
@Itladyee - Thanks, Charissa! Poor effort = poor results. I need to get my act together!
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

I’ll be ending today with a really intense cardio class. I’m not a big Les Mills fan in general but I do love their cardio. One of my friend/instructors is getting certified in the Body Combat class. She needs to film a 55 minute class. We’ve been running through it Saturday mornings and it’s hard but really fun. Let’s see how it feels at the end of the day!
I’m really excited for our next round. With lots of holidays and events through the end of the year I am committed to taking it one day at a time and believing in myself.

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.

11/21: last day of the round and first night back in my own bed on the 2nd floor and weighed on my regular scale. On 10/16 I was 126.8, today 127.5. Less than a lb up from day of surgery. Right foot still in a surgical boot during the day, but I slept without it last night- so much better! I was worried about waking up DP as we've gotten used to our separate arrangements:-)
Now to start to make this foot work- it's sore and swollen, so it needs love and work. See you all in the next challenge!
@jspecies11: thank you for the good wishes! One step at a time here :-)7 -

At least I logged it, even though it was not pretty. Exercise was functional yard work and doing some tree climbing. What does it feel like to deny myself???

I have a word shortage this morning.

Too many salty snacks laying around. I am prone to snaccidents.

A day of meetings and errands yesterday. My mom’s birthday is coming up, and my dad is in a nursing home. He asked me to arrange a special lunch (private meeting room) at his facility for mom and get a card for him to give to her. Happening next week. My DB and his wife also invited.
11/16: 224.2
/logged; not much exercise; 70 oz water/
Not sure why I have been hovering around 224. I have been naughty, but not that naughty. Must be kidding myself with faulty logging. (which means I HAVE been that naughty)
I should get out and walk today.

Yesterday was a bit strange. Had a dizzy spell in the morning which put the kibosh on everything productive. Things got better. My analysis: Too much delicious coffee. We have a new Nespresso machine and, well, you know. My body doesn’t process coffee like it did when I was in my 20’s (or even my 50’s).
11/18: 223.0
/logged; no exercise; 70 oz water/
Finally finished a novel I have been reading (and reading) last night. I love to read but it takes time sitting in a chair. I don’t like audio books (i.e. walk while you read). They make re-reading a paragraph, or going back to remember a name difficult.
I checked “Bridge of Sighs” out of the library because I thought it would take place in Venice where I actually saw the Bridge of Sighs. Well, less than 1% of the book took place in Venice. It was a well written story, but not my usual (action) reading. The vast majority of the book was dense character development with plenty of rabbit trails, leaving very little to the imagination. Story about the lives, spanning decades, of children/friends/parents and everyone in their orbit. The key word in the title ended up being “Sighs.”
I need to cleanse my palette with a Jack Reacher novel. HA!
Welcome to the JGMTD book club.

Busy day ahead.
DM birthday luncheon. 89 years old. She has a servant heart, so it will be nice to honor her for a change today.
DB and his wife will be there too. We are like oil and water, so a little bit of get-together goes a long way. We would both describe our childhood experience in the home differently. He was always looking for the boundary so he could crash through it. I was always looking for the boundary so I could stay inside it. Resentment always swims just under the surface for both of us.
I am sure I have shared my favorite saying here before, but please indulge me. “Expectations are premeditated resentments.” Working today on managing my expectations. ... Sigh.
11/20: 221.8
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
Yes, expectations exceeded yesterday. (easier when you keep them low. 😊 ) No premeditated resentments. DB and I managed to keep it civil. DM had a great time. DD was able to entertain us with his classic exaggerated stories.

Welp, my last day posting equals my ten-day average this Round; is lower by a hair than the SW on day before the Round. It is a tribute to mediocrity.
Still going for it. To quote the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, “I’m not dead yet.” (if you don’t know what I mean, you will just need to watch the movie .)

About Me & R278 Commitments:
********************************F66, 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 to 128lbs. 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, 5x 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
******************Previous Daily
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… !

Didn’t leave the house yesterday. Rain. 📚all day -and foot is making slow progress. Staying positive. I can only do what I can do… My current BHAG is treading water (staying afloat) and smiling. Guiding my thoughts and “self-talk” is key. Will hit 🥩 and 🏋️♀️goals today. I want more. I’ll define what “more” is today.

Ran errands yesterday and my foot was OK! It’s really easy to miss protein goals when I’m not focused. Planning a long walk today to assess the foot. Back on protein, too and WILL implement my routine goals for the remainder of this round. (But no plyo!) Sure hope I’m back baby!
11/16 131.8
Let’s address the scale & my “Level Up (down) Plan” ☝🏻
I went back and reviewed last year around Nov-Dec and I definitely averaged 129-130 for two solid months. This is where I want to live!
Last year, I was not lifting as much as I am now but I really want to be “ranging” at 128-130…. NOT 132.0! Am I obsessing over 2-3 little pounds? You betcha. It’s definitely psychological, and I choose to embrace that… And it’s a SERIOUS test if I can do it. I want to live there. It’s actually my personal BHAG because I’ve NEVER EVER been there (for more than two months). I’m choosing more discipline. Why do I allow myself to simply touch my goal, be thrilled, only to float back up?! I’ve actually been feeling “less than” because I’m just hovering (but not reaching) a previously declared goal. It’s negative, really. Hovering, but not reaching, is not a good place to be no matter how I look at it. It’s hard to describe. I’m not being hard on myself… This is who I am.
So… Let’s DO THIS! Over the last 10 years (my 🎢) I have always lost 10 to 15lbs during the holidays … I can’t imagine (now) a “reasonable” or “permissive” holiday season. So let’s play it safe.
📣BHAG declared: My FIRST BHAG is to hit 128lbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range. Basically lose 4lbs by 1/1/24 which, at my age and metabolic quirks, will be really, really hard to do, if even possible.
128lbs & 📣#bestshapeofmylife — It’s why I’m here on this challenge. I’ve been blowing thru JGMTD each round STAGNANT - a sort of LIMBO. I’ve been declaring this for four months without any REAL results. It’s time. I hit my zone at my last “InBody” June 28 and have allowed myself excuses ever since. It’s time to get real again, stay TRUE to my original goals and stay THERE.
“5AM Carolyn” is called to action!
Today, I will review & finalize my “plan” and get going. LETS GO!
11/17 132.0 🚶♀️5k 💦 P:E 1.2, Pg 124g🏋️♀️10min 💤 7hrs
Adjusted macros. Held off foot one more day. Playing a little tennis this morn to test it out. Positive day yesterday. Pleased to challenge myself to lose 1lb per round by the end of the year. Definitely a new & present mindset.
11/18 P:E ratio 🚫. This is my most important measure and I failed. Prior to my recommitted BHAG I had purchased all the ingredients for Veal Bolognese (family over) so I spent 4hrs making it yesterday. Surprisingly, I was under cals, but my carbs were out of this world. Macro measures here on out!
🎾90 minutes. Foot held up ok but I felt it the rest of the day. I have a clinic this morning, so if it feels bad afterwards, I’m definitely headed to the doctor. There is a procedure for my condition… 6 to 10 week recovery period. Trying my hardest to avoid. Or, stop all tennis etc for same time period. Decisions.
🤸🏼20 min of “new” mobility training yesterday. I’m so SORE this morn! As active as I am, I found muscles that I still haven’t used!
🚶♀️walking still on hold. Hopefully this week!
I’m still tracking everything I just don’t know if I’m going to present it here…. Too time consuming & it’s only for me…. @jspecies11 May I steal your method?! Very efficient!
💤 8 hrs!
Good mindest! Ready!
11/19 131.0 ✅P:E 1:1, Pg 124💦🎾🚶♀️7.5k 💤9!!!
Mindset “set” to stay on goal. If you really want something in life, you need to work for it! 💪🏻
Back to very, very basic whole food. Easy to prep and even easier to track. Food as fuel works for me. Rinse & repeat.
Pleasantly surprised with scale BUT clearly demonstrates how much my MOOD is impacted by that tiny, fickle apparatus! Floating 1-2lbs on par for me. Takes a solid week for a trend.
🎾foot experiment OK yesterday… Felt some discomfort, but used the cold plunge @ the club after. Icing now.
🏋️♀️today!
Thoughts: I’m starting to believe 💯that food is a social construct. Food is the center piece of ALL social activities, gatherings, celebrations…. It just doesn’t need to be that way! At least “entirely”.
I spent my first 24 years in Louisiana… Everything was centered around sedentary eating & drinking…. PERIOD! Then I moved to SF and learned about outdoor group activities…. WITH friends… hiking, skiing, roller-blading, beaches …. Setting out for the entire day and moving together…. This is not part of Louisiana culture.
Can I deconstruct or modify food & drink “orgies” as a social construct!
@quiltingjaine… here’s a radical thought: Your community’s Thanksgiving celebration-It’s too late for this year, but maybe next year or simply the next event, introduce a second “ticket” option of low carb or no carb … it’s time for a “No sugar” revolution! 🤣 😍
11/20 131.8 ✅P:E .9:1, Pg 84💦🚶♀️3.5k 🏋️♀️30min 💤9!!!
Protein low. Great 🏋️♀️& mobility. Surprise visit from sister and niece. Not the perfect day (nutrition) I wanted but still ok. Today will be 💪🏻. I have a league 🎾 match this morn so foot will be tested. I’ll definitely retire the match if it starts to bother me. Still holding off on 🚶♀️till next round. Pre-planning food. Still moving forward! Let’s finish strong!

Now that felt really good. I got it out. Whatever THAT is will be discarded soon and I’ll be back 131ish for the start of R249. Sheesh!
✅P:E 1.25:1, Pg 114💦🚶♀️8.5k 💤8 🎾 2hrs…. AND I tracked everything, hit macros with 1227 cals!!!! Tons of water. Simply inexplicable.
Foot: I played my tennis match yesterday without discomfort… But by last night, the shooting pain re-surfaced. Won match. My team finished second this season. Looks like I will call the damn doctor.
I WILL HAVE A GREAT DAY! I get to wear a sweater for the first time this fall. 40°! Onward! (Monday will be 80° again!)
BTW: This was truly a good round. Emotionally, I’ve gotten back on track with a new mindset, a recommitment and an established BHAG. 1 lb per round till end of year!

Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later.
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
Round 277 - I forgot about my birthday which apparently led to not the best choices or I had really high hopes.
At any rate, Round 278 looks promising. No birthday or holidays or planned events, well there's one on the 20th but If I can tow the line until then....
Still missing that drive to stay the course....Maybe I can get some "head" work into today and get back there...!
So here we go November 2024... my motto(s) - All the things I need to read daily!!!
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Lose weight in the kitchen ⚖️, get fit in the gym🏋🏾♀️

SW RND 278
11/12 224.6 ~ I found my wireless Renpho scale! Yippee! But...it's not syncing very well. Considering going back to my Withings scale or exploring some others.
11/13 225.5 ~ New scale. Right after yesterday's post, I started bouncing on the internet comparing scales. There have been some upgrades to the Withings scale, and I chose the Body Comp one (same-day delivery from Amazon). It will be better after at least a week of data, but it has merged all my recent data from Apple Health. I canceled a few other "fitness" and monitoring subscriptions that I had (First Phorm, Sleepwatch, Wellatory) and rolled that $$ into the withings + program as it seems to address all except tracking. I just recently moved to Cronometer for tracking.
11/14 DNW
11/15 225.6 ~ Maybe I don't like the new scale. I had pasta last night sooo..
11/16 DNW
11/17 225.3
11/18 225.4
11/19 225.9 Boo...but when I look at the details> Last time I closed all rings was Friday 11/15. I had my grandson over the weekend, so that introduced more food and different types of (kid-friendly) foods. I almost closed all rings yesterday, just a bit short on the MOVE. Water, decent ~ 50 ounces average. Tracking, over or not tracking, was better yesterday. Ok on protein. Still mentally disconnected through....I need 1.5 by Thursday to close this round out. Then I need to find another pound or so next week to be lower than my ending October weight for a downward trend. My husband wants to do this 10 day fast. Not fasting for 10 days but 3 days to prep (eating raw veggies, broth etc, 3 days fasting and then 3 to 4 days recovery (veggies, broth etc). I don't think I can do that to my body, at least not now...but I am anxious for him to start as it will help me to focus and I won't be tempted when he pops open a beer or grabs those chips!
11/20 226.2 🚶🏽
11/21 225.6 🚶🏽I did close my rings the last two days, so that's progress. I didn't get to the starting weight for this round but...I did introduce the new scale. All good. I still have time to trend down for the month of Nov but it will be a challenge with the holidays. I will give it my best! I think I found one my issues as of late. Lack of structure. When I first when to part-time mid august, I was still "working" on my days off. I worked out and then returned to focus on unpacking the garage and the basement. Now that I've made significant progress with the house, my days are a little less structured. With less structure comes the ability to consume more as you pass through the kitchen. I also have not been preparing my "planned" meals and opting for other meals that may or may not fit in the calorie budget. Onward > Round 279
@judefit1 ~ looks like you're making some great progress with your recovery. Kudos on the snow-shoeing trip, now you have something to look forward to! Good Luck on your driving exercise

11/18 - Whew, finally ready to settle back into a routine. I like this weight, on a Monday no less! I was pretty active while in California, walking to and from the office, but I definitely ate and drank too much. Then we had a Friendsgiving on Saturday and I had some beers while watching the Bills game yesterday (which they won against the Chiefs! Woohoo!). Anyway, hoping there's no rebound here. I was definitely retaining some water when I got back from my trip and made sure to drink a lot of it yesterday. Was hoping today would be the day I get back into my routine, but my 5 year old threw up at 4am, then wanted me to sleep with him while he tossed and turned, so my sleep was utter trash, and he's home with me today. He doesn't require a whole lot of maintenance but it's just a little disruptive. I can still do a run on my treadmill thankfully, and he'll probably walk the dogs with me. Happy to be back with y'all and I'm going to read everything I missed while I caffeinate
11/19 - 130.8 🏃🏻♀️📝 🚫 Moving in a good direction! This is actually the lowest my weight has been since I started again back in August. Phew, every pound is a battle. Not that I should expect it to be easy when I reset myself every weekend.
I think I'm chipping away at that trend, though, by making Sundays relatively on-track. I think my next move is to keep Fridays focused until I go to bed. We often go out to eat on Fridays, but if I don't kick off the weekend with an overly indulgent start, and then Sundays are reined in, then I can continue to not be super disciplined on Saturdays and still see success.
This past weekend was actually an example of that since Friday was a travel day for me. I missed having proper meals because I flew literally all day, so then when I had a Jersey Mike's sub between flights it was within my calories. I also had no alcohol due to the travel (that actually used to be alcohol consumption carte blanche for me, so I have come a long way in that regard as well). Saturday was a huge Friendsgiving meal, and Sunday I ate reasonably and tracked everything.
It's important to acknowledge minor progress to pave the way to success going forward! And this journey is not all or nothing. Maybe eventually I'll include Saturdays in my disciplined days, but for now I'll start with changing my Fridays and keeping my Sundays in check.

11/20 - 130.0 🏃🏻♀️📝 🚫 I don't want to get my hopes up but could I be in the 120s soon? Big loss between yesterday and today, so not expecting much this round. However, today won't have any particular challenges so we'll see. I already planned to make turkey tacos for dinner with our leftover Friendsgiving turkey, and no children are here to influence what I eat during the day. It's a rest day from running. I have a long run tomorrow and want to feel fresh, so I think I will do some mobility and maybe pilates later to have some strength training without causing excessive soreness. I woke up with a slightly sore throat (and DH and DS have been sick) so we'll see how this plays out. I thought my legs and feet had been aching due to a slow recovery from travel, but maybe it was a cold setting in. Just in time to give it to all of our family next week. DMIL would rather catch typhoid fever than have us cancel our travel plans, so we're going come hell or high water. She hasn't seen her son since last Thanksgiving!
11/21 - 130.4🏃🏻♀️🏋🏻♀️ 📝 🚫 Alright! Up a little from yesterday, but still down 2 pounds this round despite traveling the first half of the challenge. Happy with the way it played out. Just have to not let an entire week with family derail all of my progress, eesh. I finally made my 5/10 alcohol-free days goal. Pathetic that I've had that goal set for so many rounds and failed to meet it (usually 4/10 or sometimes even 3/10!!). The only real challenge I had against that was when DH opened a bottle of wine on Tuesday and I was able to say "no thanks". Need to channel that more. I met all of my non-scale goals this round, even exceeding my tracking goal by 2 days! See everyone in round 279!6 -
@Chapter_3 your scale sure is acting wonky! Don't listen to it; you're doing awesome! I'm so sorry to hear about the return of your foot pain. I hope you can get some help with it!
@itladyee good insight about the lack of structure causing problems. That's definitely my issue on the weekends, even though I'm working from home during the week. It's just very disruptive to routines to not have any schedule to live by!6 -

About Me & R278 Commitments:
********************************F66, 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 to 128lbs. 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, 5x 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
******************Previous Daily
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 👏🏻🤩

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… !

Ran errands yesterday and my foot was OK! It’s really easy to miss protein goals when I’m not focused. Planning a long walk today to assess the foot. Back on protein, too and WILL implement my routine goals for the remainder of this round. (But no plyo!) Sure hope I’m back baby!
11/16 131.8
Let’s address the scale & my “Level Up (down) Plan” ☝🏻
I went back and reviewed last year around Nov-Dec and I definitely averaged 129-130 for two solid months. This is where I want to live!
Last year, I was not lifting as much as I am now but I really want to be “ranging” at 128-130…. NOT 132.0! Am I obsessing over 2-3 little pounds? You betcha. It’s definitely psychological, and I choose to embrace that… And it’s a SERIOUS test if I can do it. I want to live there. It’s actually my personal BHAG because I’ve NEVER EVER been there (for more than two months). I’m choosing more discipline. Why do I allow myself to simply touch my goal, be thrilled, only to float back up?! I’ve actually been feeling “less than” because I’m just hovering (but not reaching) a previously declared goal. It’s negative, really. Hovering, but not reaching, is not a good place to be no matter how I look at it. It’s hard to describe. I’m not being hard on myself… This is who I am.
So… Let’s DO THIS! Over the last 10 years (my 🎢) I have always lost 10 to 15lbs during the holidays … I can’t imagine (now) a “reasonable” or “permissive” holiday season. So let’s play it safe.
📣BHAG declared: My FIRST BHAG is to hit 128lbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range. Basically lose 4lbs by 1/1/24 which, at my age and metabolic quirks, will be really, really hard to do, if even possible.
128lbs & 📣#bestshapeofmylife — It’s why I’m here on this challenge. I’ve been blowing thru JGMTD each round STAGNANT - a sort of LIMBO. I’ve been declaring this for four months without any REAL results. It’s time. I hit my zone at my last “InBody” June 28 and have allowed myself excuses ever since. It’s time to get real again, stay TRUE to my original goals and stay THERE.
“5AM Carolyn” is called to action!
Today, I will review & finalize my “plan” and get going. LETS GO!
11/17 132.0 🚶♀️5k 💦 P:E 1.2, Pg 124g🏋️♀️10min 💤 7hrs
Adjusted macros. Held off foot one more day. Playing a little tennis this morn to test it out. Positive day yesterday. Pleased to challenge myself to lose 1lb per round by the end of the year. Definitely a new & present mindset.
11/18 P:E ratio 🚫. This is my most important measure and I failed. Prior to my recommitted BHAG I had purchased all the ingredients for Veal Bolognese (family over) so I spent 4hrs making it yesterday. Surprisingly, I was under cals, but my carbs were out of this world. Macro measures here on out!
🎾90 minutes. Foot held up ok but I felt it the rest of the day. I have a clinic this morning, so if it feels bad afterwards, I’m definitely headed to the doctor. There is a procedure for my condition… 6 to 10 week recovery period. Trying my hardest to avoid. Or, stop all tennis etc for same time period. Decisions.
🤸🏼20 min of “new” mobility training yesterday. I’m so SORE this morn! As active as I am, I found muscles that I still haven’t used!
🚶♀️walking still on hold. Hopefully this week!
I’m still tracking everything I just don’t know if I’m going to present it here…. Too time consuming & it’s only for me…. @jspecies11 May I steal your method?! Very efficient!
💤 8 hrs!
Good mindest! Ready!
11/19 131.0 ✅P:E 1:1, Pg 124💦🎾🚶♀️7.5k 💤9!!!
Mindset “set” to stay on goal. If you really want something in life, you need to work for it! 💪🏻
Back to very, very basic whole food. Easy to prep and even easier to track. Food as fuel works for me. Rinse & repeat.
Pleasantly surprised with scale BUT clearly demonstrates how much my MOOD is impacted by that tiny, fickle apparatus! Floating 1-2lbs on par for me. Takes a solid week for a trend.
🎾foot experiment OK yesterday… Felt some discomfort, but used the cold plunge @ the club after. Icing now.
🏋️♀️today!
Thoughts: I’m starting to believe 💯that food is a social construct. Food is the center piece of ALL social activities, gatherings, celebrations…. It just doesn’t need to be that way! At least “entirely”.
I spent my first 24 years in Louisiana… Everything was centered around sedentary eating & drinking…. PERIOD! Then I moved to SF and learned about outdoor group activities…. WITH friends… hiking, skiing, roller-blading, beaches …. Setting out for the entire day and moving together…. This is not part of Louisiana culture.
Can I deconstruct or modify food & drink “orgies” as a social construct!
@quiltingjaine… here’s a radical thought: Your community’s Thanksgiving celebration-It’s too late for this year, but maybe next year or simply the next event, introduce a second “ticket” option of low carb or no carb … it’s time for a “No sugar” revolution! 🤣 😍
11/20 131.8 ✅P:E .9:1, Pg 84💦🚶♀️3.5k 🏋️♀️30min 💤9!!!
Protein low. Great 🏋️♀️& mobility. Surprise visit from sister and niece. Not the perfect day (nutrition) I wanted but still ok. Today will be 💪🏻. I have a league 🎾 match this morn so foot will be tested. I’ll definitely retire the match if it starts to bother me. Still holding off on 🚶♀️till next round. Pre-planning food. Still moving forward! Let’s finish strong!

If like to join you if I may, in that 1 pound a round to the end of the year BHAG. I need to shake myself up cuz only 3-5 days per round staying on the waggon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be. 4 pounds would really get me in my way.4 -

11/19 -192.2- (Trend weight-191.6-)
11/20 -192.6- (Trend weight-191.7-) For the past couple of weeks I have been focusing on adding fiber to my diet for a number of reasons. As someone who finds most veggies horrid (part of my eating disorder) this task has been difficult. Right now I am using a high fiber low carb bread. 10g of carbs per slice and 10g of fiber per slice making it zero net carbs, 35 calories per slice and 20 grams total of fiber. I am hoping this will help fill me up better and offer me the health protections that fiber has to offer without pushing up the scale. I am also trying to hit my protein goals as best as I can. It will be hard to judge how much this is helping with so many distracted days in the mix. I need a good stretch of days that I either can’t find, or I sabotage when I do come across them. However, I am going to give this a chance for a few months and see how I feel about it. Yesterday should have been good, but it wasn’t. I was so proud of myself all day until the monsters came out last night. I’d had enough protein and fiber to choke a chicken and while it may have helped the hunger a bit, it didn’t put a dent in the cravings. If only I had answers for that!
11/21 -192.0- (Trend weight-191.7-) A small amount of progress since yesterday but not enough to steal the show. This has been a bad round for me which I guess I deserved because of last weekend. Today my DD and DGS come back yet again for the next 4 days. I’ve got to grow a backbone this weekend. Some weekends are better than others and I need a good one this time especially with Thanksgiving approaching. I love reading all the posts and seeing so much progress happening for all of you. It really is inspiring. I hope to join the ranks soon. See you all in round 279.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

@theslightedgeforever - I missed your explanation of the boiled frog analogy, it is intriguing me ?
“The boiling frog story is generally offered as a metaphor cautioning people to be aware of even gradual change lest they suffer eventual undesirable consequences. It may be invoked in support of a slippery slope argument as a caution against creeping normality.”5 -

11/12 133.5 Belated THANK YOU to ALL VETERANS!
11/13 133.0 Last night was the 3rd night of adding 1T coconut oil to evening coffee, also had adult beverage in the late afternoon. Bingo tonight.
11/14 134.5 Probably because of pizza - unable to eat just toppings which were all meat and maybe some cheese and only 1 slice but did have ice cream sandwich. And no TMI
11/15 134.0 We went out for breakfast/lunch. Steak and eggs.
11/16 134.5 Had a slight migraine for several days which may finally be over but has been replaced with a throbbing headache caused by DH having NO RECOLLECTION of convo concerning the community Thanksgiving SUGAR LOADED dinner which I said I did NOT want to attend and to which he immediately bought tickets! I might as well be talking to the wall.
11/17 132.5
11/18 133.0 Great Greek yesterday. I had a few bites of baklava ice cream.
11/19 133.0 DH’s birthday yesterday. We had Jesse Rae’s BBQ
11/20 133.0 Made 2 loaves of white bread and gave them to neighborhood friends. Going to try a rye bread recipe today.
11/21 133.5 Rye bread didn’t not rise as I thought it should but it tastes good. It’s quite cool (69-71) in the house and recipe says to let it rise at 78-84 degrees. No TMI x 3 days but I’m okay with that.5 -

11/21 - 158.6 - Yesterday was hectic and finished off with a gut-wrenching fire call that resulted in 2 fatalities (not due to fire - it was a horrible wreck but still hard to respond to). I was up late and didn't go to the gym this morning due to it and I'm sure that may be why I'm up. Then today has been equally as busy trying to write a full report that's due to day after we spent all day yesterday running down issues. Once we resolved one issue with the program, several more popped up so we were behind schedule. She's taking a short break so I was able to hop on to type this up since I knew it was the end of the round. Must get back to it, see you next round!
Previous Day's Comments11/12 - Between eating out last night and being bloated from that and TOM arriving any day, I'm not surprised. I feel extra bloated so I know at least some of this is false weight. I'm back on track today with logging everything and I'm well on my way to meeting all my macro goals. I'm short on steps but I can easily make that up after work. Water is a tiny bit behind but nothing I can't make up, either. Gym was good despite the migraine I woke up with and the later-than-usual night (about an hour later to bed than normal). I feel good about progress though with TOM this week the scale may not show the progress. That's okay. I trust the process
11/13 - Ah, that's better! I behaved last night at the meeting and only had 2 drinks which I logged (vodka + soda with a lime wedge) and kept within my macros. Otherwise, I focused on water and was able to hit my water goal with no issue. Unfortunately the meeting ran long and we didn't get home until past 10pm (well past my bedtime of 8!) and I realized as I crawled in bed I was about 600 steps shy of goal. That's okay, though. My average across the week will be okay due to my 5k Monday so long as I maintain the goal the remainder of the week. Hopefully tonight is a quieter night in - I can't do another late night like that and be functioning. Meals/snacks planned out for today within goals so feeling confident I can manage!
11/14 - I splurged with some ice cream last night. I was very stressed and indulged my emotions. I did go over my macros but I'm not too worried about it. One day won't absolutely destroy my progress. I tried to include more volume foods in my meal plan for today when I built it to make sure I wasn't hungry which was part of my problem yesterday, too. Unfortunately yesterday my shoulder kind of bothered me on bench press but I didn't think anything of it. Today, however, it's gotten worse so I think I'll need to step back with it. Looking at the various types of pain and anatomy, it seems like it's more of a bursitis than a tear. I could be wrong, but the pain is in a very specific spot and lifting my arm above my head triggers it more which is a strong indicator of bursitis. Tomorrow is leg day at the gym so I can still get a good workout in without worrying about worsening it. I'm hoping its something silly like I slept on it wrong (which has happened before and what I assumed was the issue yesterday).
11/15 - DNP
11/16 - I behaved myself well yesterday and it shows. I got all my errands done and did my FD training as planned so this weekend is just to relax, meal prep, and help BF with his homework since there's a LOT to do and it's due by tomorrow night. Whew. Focusing on water since I'm a tad behind but not too awful much, thankfully. Steps are on track for a Saturday - I'll need to be sure I get up and move around more today to make up for the late start but it's definitely manageable to reach goal. Dinner planned and logged but I need to choose a meal either today or tomorrow to not log/eat intuitively. I'm inclined to make that lunch today.All will be well
11/17 - DNP
11/18 - I'm shocked it isn't higher, honestly. My plans for meals this weekend went out the window! BF decided he wanted chili so he made that for Saturday and then Sunday we ended up going to the VFW to watch our football games, eating lunch there (frozen pizza and snacks like pb crackers and pretzels), and then had a very late dinner of shrimp and corn bisque BF was really wanting to try. None of that was on my plan! Oops. I've been craving his chili so it'd be silly to pass it up just because I didn't plan for it initially and sitting at home being boring just because of a meal plan is absolutely no way to live. Coach would be proud that I didn't let food control me and keep me from enjoying life and friends. I didn't get enough steps Saturday or Sunday and water was less than ideal Friday-Sunday due to just not being home to refill. I'm working on fixing that today! My shoulder is really hurting today from whatever I did to it last week so I took it easy. Plus we had storms roll through and my ankle, hand, and back/sciatic are all acting up (which is normal when weather blows through with a big enough pressure change). I'll probably have to take it super easy this week with my shoulder if it doesn't improve. I'd rather take a small step back now than be in BF's position having to completely step away from the gym for months.
11/19 - This is okay! I behaved well yesterday and stuck to my pre-planned meals and snacks within macros - they're higher macros so there's a bit of adjustment I'm sure my body will need a couple days to settle into it. Otherwise all is well. My shoulder didn't bother me as much as I expected at the gym today so that made me happy. I took it slow and easy and decided to forego pull-ups since I think they're the most troublesome for this injury. I've pre-planned today but still need a snack with at least 1g fiber and 20g carbs but I'm within range of both protein and fat - I have a bit more wiggle room with fat than I do protein. Will figure that out later as I just got off back to back work calls (whew!). I've also pre-planned breakfast, lunch, and dinner tomorrow and am within goal buffer for fats and protein already. Will need about 50g carbs and 1g fiber to meet all my goals but I can figure out snacks later on. Feeling confident I can do this!

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE
Got permission to modify the challenge for fasting and physical activity. Thanks! @quiltingjaine
STARTING FAST TIME: 7:02PM EST (started at 5:50PM EST, but didn't start fasting timer until 7:02)
FASTING GOAL: 72H, Then 20:3
ACTIVITY GOAL: 5-minute core workout, 1 hour workout for 8 days
CAUTION FOR FASTING: I live a zero to minuscule carb life that helps with fasting. Taking in healthy-high calorie-nutrient dense meals and being well hydrated before a fast is important⚠️RND 278 (1)
11/12 CORE✅ WORKOUT 1/8✅ Maintain 72 hour fast ✅
11/13 CORE✅ WORKOUT 2/8✅ Maintain 72 hour fast ✅ - Felt some hunger for a very short time while studying, then it went away. Was able to study efficiently and with mind clarity. Consumed nothing but water yesterday (forgot to make notes yesterday). Today I had some tea with lemon juice. There are studies showing that lemon juice doesn’t break a fast why I add it to tea. It's good for vitamin C and masks the flavor of some herbal teas. If anyone is wondering the hunger went away before I had tea I drink tea regularly for health benefits. I try to drink it daily and missed yesterday.
11/14 CORE✅ WORKOUT 3/8✅ Completed 72 hour fast 🙌 - AM, drank tea with no lemon. Broke fast after 550PM with high fat meal and protein. This fast went well going to do a 42H Fast instead of 20:3* (Typo in last post). Thanks @quiltingjaine, this challenge is really helping
11/15 CORE✅ WORKOUT 4/8*(Typo in last post)✅ Maintain 42 hour fast ✅ - No hunger. Tea with no lemon.
11/16 Completed 42 hour fast🙌 - Today is rest day for working out👟 AM, drank tea with lemon🍵 Broke fast with fat🧈 and protein🥩 Next fasting goal is 46 hours⏳
11/17 CORE✅ WORKOUT 3/8❌ Maintain 46 hour fast ✅ - Completely forgot about workout, managed to get 15-20 minutes in this evening. Tea with lemon🍵 No hunger
11/18 CORE✅ WORKOUT 4/8✅ Completed 46 hour fast🙌 - AM - tea no lemon🍵 Broke fast with fat 🧈 and protein🥩 Next goal 69H fast⏳
11/19 CORE✅ WORKOUT 5/8✅ Maintain 69 hour fast ✅ - AM drank tea with no lemon🍵 No hunger, but thinking of how to make salmon when I break the fast🐟
11/20 CORE❌ WORKOUT 5/8❌ Maintain 69 hour fast ✅ - Drank tea with lemon🍵 Today was a busy day and didn’t make it to workout. Have been making sleep a priority and do not workout past a certain point in the evening. Looking forward to breaking the fast tomorrow
11/21 CORE❌ WORKOUT 5/8❌ Maintain 69 hour fast ❌ Completed 66 hours and 42 minutes out of goal of 69 hours. Had food cooking and couldn’t resist the smell good aroma! Broke the fast with a high fat meal with salmon🐟 Last day of the challenge was my worst day but definitely did better than expected in regard to fasting goal. My goal was to do one 72 hour fast and did much more fasting. Looking forward to the next challenge and having better stats with activity

Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided yesterday to start back up and it was perfect timing with a new round starting today.
11/12- 166 (75.3 kg) Stayed within my goals today. Off to a good start.
11/13- 163.8 (74.3 kg) Water weight whoosh. If I end the round at this weight or close to it, I will be quite pleased.
11/14-162.8 (73.8 kg) Okay, we'll see how turkey tacos I had for dinner tonight affect this tomorrow. And debating BLTs for dinner tomorrow.
11/15- 163.2 (74 kg) I typically don't feel bloated in my day to day, but today I do. My pants feel tight, my bra is bothering me. And I did make BLTs tonight. Curious to see if I'll see more of a jump up on the scale in the next couple days or what. But so far 5 days of staying on track with my goals. I do think I need to drink more water, so I'm going to be mindful of that.
11/16- 162.4 (73.7 kg) I woke up feeling rested this morning for the first time in a while, so instead of sleeping in, I joined my husband and the dog on their morning walk. Then we had a relaxing day at home and went on a second walk this afternoon. It was a good Saturday.
11/17- 162.4 (73.7 kg) I went on two walks again today despite being given the opportunity to bow out. Proud of myself because it was in the upper 30s/lower 40s (~3-6°C), very windy and raining, and I do not like being cold and wet. I just bought snow pants a couple weeks ago, and wow does it make a big difference. Way better than just jeans or jeans with leggings underneath. My legs stayed comfortable and warm. I should have spent the money on a pair years ago.
11/18- 161.4 (73.2 kg) I was craving popcorn tonight, made myself some healthypop and... it just wasn't good. Tried adding nacho cheddar seasoning, still blah. Added more, and it wasn't doing it for me. So instead of powering through just because it was in my bowl, I threw the rest out.
11/19-160.8 (72.9 kg) Today started so promising for work then got busy and fell apart in the last half hour, so I got off an hour late which put me solidly into rush hour traffic. Then I took the dog out for 45 minutes, felt really chilled, dying for junk food and made not great choices for dinner. I had waffles, barbecue chips and M&Ms. It fit within my calories and I feel full, but not in a good way. I have a feeling I won't feel satiated soon and I'll be hungrier tomorrow. Tomorrow's a new day to make different choices.
11/20- 159.8 (72.5 kg) Today's forecasted snow stayed rain today which helped the commute home. And it slowed to a light mist for the dog's walk tonight and picked up just as we ended. Thank you mother nature!
11/21- 160.3 (72.7 kg) My husband comes back from from his work trip tonight and tomorrow we're going to see Transiberian Orchestra. I'm hoping it's not a crazy day at work tomorrow so I can head into the concert with high spirits. Got my hair done after work, finally took passport photos so I can work on getting my passport again. DH and I started to work on it this spring but it ended up on the back burner. Got 40 minutes of fetch in with the dog tonight, stayed within calorie goal. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Round 279!6 -
@Blueberries59 I made the same mistake this morning. We have a daily report at work that we run differently on Fridays in preparation for the weekend and I totally ran the Friday report today. My coworker had to break it to me that we were not in fact at the end of the week yet.5

11/12 157.2 I spent the last 5 days at Universal Studios with my DD and DGD. Got in lots and lots of walking but nutrition was less than stellar. But I’m back and ready to get ready for the holidays!
11/13. 156.8 Back on track with food yesterday and so far today. Will be working on drinking more water this round.
11/14 156.6 Filling up my water bottles this morning. Working on quilting today. It's going to rain all day and I don't have to leave at 1:30 to get DGD, so I have lots of time. Need to finish a couple projects before Thanksgiving, so I'll have to take some indoor exercise breaks as I sew today.
11/15 157.6 I have no idea where this came from! Hopefully it goes away tomorrow.
11/16 157 Coming down a little
11/17 155.4 Here we go! I’ll take a little swoosh. Food choices were very high protein yesterday and it paid off.
