Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 281

musicsax

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 281 (my 211th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.

This round I’m continuing to join @Chapter_3 in in a BHAG of 1 pound a round to the end of the year, i.e. to weigh 138 or under. I need to be diligent as only 3-5 days per round staying on the waggon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be, but then the celebrations happened. If I can keep at a pound a round, I’ll be well happy. Another 2 pounds would really get me on my way; I want to stay strong, walk the walk as well as talk the talk! & make the round a successful one.
So, goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark!
• to weigh less at the end of the round than the start & a pound is my small BHAG for this round
• 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.

SW RND 281—156
12/12 153.8 The salt bomb from Thai food left yesterday, so YAY! Got in a video workout late in the day since we had rain and snow.
12/13. 153.8 I really expected another drop today, but I guess one can’t be greedy! I’ll be happy I didn’t get the bounce that will probably come tomorrow now that I jinxed it. Lol. Got in a good walk with River during the pick up line at preschool. Compared to the few days before, the weather was great for walking. I have not paid enough attention to water the last couple days, so I need to be purposeful about that today. I am frantically trying to finish teacher gift quilts, so I’ve been lucky to get in 8K steps. Not sure today will be much better.
12/14 153.4 I’m absolutely amazed at how much work a water aerobics session is! I got almost 6000 steps in before 11:00 am by doing it as well as a strength training session. Water is heavy, and they use dumbbells specifically made to increase resistance in the water. Some of the stuff we do is HARD! Hubby and I are spending the evening on the town including a nice hotel downtown, so there’ll be no scales available tomorrow. Going to try to be careful, but intend to enjoy the evening as well. We haven’t done this in forever, and I chalk it up, at least in part, to the loss of 38 pounds since March. I’m wearing a slim black leather skirt, leggings, boots, and a sequined, off one shoulder top. I’m pretty excited!
12/15 No scales
12/16 154.0 Not bad for a couple of days off of my normal everything. Back to work today. Got in lots of activity Saturday and was exhausted yesterday, so called it a rest day. Not many goals met the last two days, but that’s ok too.
22/17 154.6 Made Christmas cookies yesterday, so I guess I ate too much batter! Focusing on protein and water today so hopefully tomorrow will be better.
12/18 154.6 Expected a drop this morning but it didn’t show up. Had a good day with food and water as well as a great workout at the gym. Hit all my goals. Oh well, maybe tomorrow!

@astroamy Yep, the stalls, plateaus, walls, what ever we call them are very real. And very frustrating.
I like @blueberries59 idea it’s a visual adjustment phase!

@Chapter_3 @_JeffreyD_ I come from a family of rare meat eaters. When I first met my husband I was sharing how my dad would put the “meat juice” into a cup for my sister and I to share after he carved red meat. DH looked at me “you mean you guys would drink a cup of blood?????”
Uhmmmm, maybe? Not exactly? Never thought of it that way…

Today is the office Christmas lunch catered by Paula Deen's. Ugh. What are the chances they will have even one healthy side? At least being at the office will help with the snacking.

This no-snacking thing is still on trial. I'm like @desolate_angel. Last night my self control went out the window at dinner and I had an extra serving.

Have a good day, everyone!

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.

This round marks my first full year in this challenge! A 2 lbs uptick doesn't sound like much, but learning to maintain my fitness means recognizing patterns. So here's my goals as I round out the year:
Goals this round:
* start building up workouts as my foot heals from surgery
* enjoy holiday baking and treats, but not to excess
* would love to achieve that "pound a round" loss, but maintaining is a must!
12/12: 127.6

12/21:

12/18: A full year posting in this group, the longest I've stuck to any "plan"!
My posted goal on 12/18/23 was 125-130, so my current weight is a win. I needed to be reminded of that- it's good to remember where I started and not beat myself up for a couple pounds. But consistency has been the key, and remembering how easy it is to let my bad habits creep back in, so here I am and will be in another year

I tried to find "before and after" photos, but I deleted them after I mistakenly opened them in a client presentation... (spandex and projection don't mix )

Thank you to everyone on JGM10D; this group of supportive, positive people is really, truly special!

F66, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (ProteinG> (Cg+Fg) A clean/whole food WOE- Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.

Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.

📣BHAG Restated: My FIRST BHAG is to hit 128xlbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range @128lbs by 1/10/2025. I want a sustainable #HSF BHAG that’s achievable with hard work & determination.

Backstory & Progress
********************************

Lived in 140-150s throughout adulthood. 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

👇🏻December Level Up (Down)
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Dec:

1. P:E: Protein g greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and cals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this CLEAN 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” and jumping is vital to joint-health 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 👏🏻🤩 (12/11 This is down due to injury - I pledge to recommit.
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 20g 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…
12.Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
13.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… !

Previous Daily
****************

12/12 Stellar. I studied my journal since R231 in preparation for this round to set realistic commitments to myself. I have 💪🏻re-committed to 🚶‍♀️step goals and 💗Z2. By far my best results over a period of time is consistency with 🚶‍♀️10k+ & 💗Z2=60 min.

Finished the day strong with 🚶‍♀️⏱️🏋️‍♀️. 📝 Icon includes 300 cal deficit, P:E Ratio 1:1 & Pg macro success. If I don’t hit all three of those measures, 🚫📝!

Love my improved tracking spreadsheet. Even though I have MFP premium, I like to SEE my daily NS commitments, all in one place side-by-side. THERE’s beauty, calm & surety in ✅✅✅s!

ngl: I was distracted yesterday and at 3:30 I had to FORCE 🤸‍♂️🚶‍♀️⏱️🏋️‍♀️. That feeling of ✅✅✅ is unmatched!

12/13 Another 💪🏻.
I missed 💗Z2 by 10 min!

“Turning thought into action is a moment of courage and clarity — worth acknowledging and celebrating!”

Each time I resist temptation/procrastination or distraction & follow through on a commitment to myself- I will celebrate! Mindfulness also includes not only present awareness, but celebrating the change of thought patterns that lead me to #HSF. Celebrate the smallest of actions…. I often say “let’s do the hard things”, and I rarely say “let’s celebrate with excitement every small decision that leads closer to achievement. Need to give myself a 🙌🏻 more often!

ONWARD!

12/14 🚫📝💗⏱️Still in a calorie deficit - only 100. Not a win according to by goals. Hit P:E and Protein 119g….💗 only 45 minutes…. Need 60min to claim it….Played two hours of tennis so not up to ⏱️… Today will 🚶🏼‍♀️‍➡️⏱️🏋🏼‍♀️💗.
Looking back over Thanksgiving and one day-long brunch with the gals…. I can honestly declare that three days of eating out of routine (not gorging) coupled with eating late causing sleep depravation was NOT WORTH the two weeks+ it has taken me to get back. And, I’m still 1lb over from mid-November. Also realize that I didn’t walk or 🎾for two weeks ….. My metabolism is slow as molasses…. Quick to gain and slow to shed. FACTS that I forgot! It’s not the “pound” per se…. It’s simply the journey to get where I want to be and for the freaking “fork” in the road…. (No pun intended) that I took to get off track…. So pleased I have recommitted! A tastebud party is just not worth the pain after!

Found a few fun “core” exercises on Instagram that I will incorporate into resistance training… Enjoying!

Read more data on the benefits of IF…. This is soundly incorporated in my routine (I haven’t mentioned in a long while). My eating window is noon to 6PM. This works for me.
Onward!

12/15 EDIT I fell back to sleep and read my morning post and realized I had a typo on weight! Fixed it.

Wonderful day yesterday with ZERO going as planned… I spontaneously headed to an estate sale and spent several hours there wasting time… was so much fun! Met DS & DGS for lunch… I 1/2 of a small cuban sandwich ... DH and I enjoyed a spontaneous date night… I was actually pretty good compared to “old me” but still too many carbs managing to hold @ maintenance… @ 1450 cals. Once again… just four hours sleep because I ate later / different than usual. Bunch of 💩 in my body… So puffy. And oh, + 2 lbs! 😖I was expecting a small uptick but not 2lbs. I should know by now that my body is subject to huge swings with eating after 6PM. All this after I had declared just yesterday that going off plan was NOT WORTH it! But … back on it today! Want to earn & see more ✅ ✅✅! Wedding one week from today.

NSV: Enjoyed the spontaneity without going off the rails and faced the ⚖️ trauma this morning with a positive attitude of determination.

12/16 much better day. I tracked all, but unintentionally skipped protein shake… PE ratio was 1.4 but only 1k cal yesterday - only 60g Protein. 🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️💗. Still soooo puffy. Hmmmmm … Cortisol? 💤7hrs slept better but up too early. Not commenting ⚖️ just yet because it’s inexplicable.

Upcoming Sat, Sun & Mon - dinner, wedding & our anniversary…. Picked out my “outfits” for the festivities from my closet - Not going “new” because beautiful, barely worn clothes just sitting there…. Spent FOUR hrs yesterday “styling” for each day. Pulled out generations of jewelry to style…heartwarming & delightful! Then we leave early the 25th for winter hiking. Preparing for the whirlwind! Balancing the “plan” will be a challenge but doable. I find that when I nail 🚶‍♀️early, everything else flows in-line.

12/17 My days are running together. I guess I’m too wound up to sleep. Again, only four hours… Really good day yesterday. Will have another positive today- no time to nap.
Onward!
NSV: Staying focused on nutrition and remaining “emotionally even” during this whirl-world is a victory.

PS - Of course, X Husband (yes, “X” not using the sugar-coated version of “First” ) — swooped in last second and is hosting a “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️” dinner for bride & groom. I do actually like his 4th wife. 🤣. Just a little of the typical wedding-planning drama going on the past week….. now that there’s a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ dinner the night before the “Ray of Sunshine” Champagne reception…. Its turning into quite a full-on special weekend. These last-minute changes would normally drive me to the fridge, but I’ve handled it 💪🏻. THE all-time NSV!

On TMAD today. Noon & 6pm. Protein shake between. Plenty 💦. Difficult on TMAD to get my 125g of P … If I can hit 100g daily this week I’ll be pleased. Cant claim “📝”without it…. Cant claim “💗”without structured 🚶‍♀️. But it’s all good. For the remainder of this round, nutrition & hydration are key. This challenge is my rock!

AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER and most of NOVEMBER spent increasingly depressed and often sugar drunk. Regained almost 30 pounds and a ridiculous amount of fat without even noticing! This level of sabotage is extreme, even for me. My biggest gift to myself will be healing the holes inside.

July Goals: Starting over 7/12 ~ lost six weeks of progress and regained 7 pounds adjusting to new third shift work schedule. They call it graveyard for a reason!!! My exercise, water and step count have all also dropped considerably. Goals this month are simply to lose as much as possible building momentum and getting back in the groove.

June Goals: Having gotten as low as 193 in both April and May, I'd like to drop below that in June. (FAIL)

May 22: I had packed some shorts to change into after swim without trying them on. They were so tight last summer, I expected the fit to be better ~ but when I put them on ... wow. I was in front of the locker room mirrors and was like omg, that's you. How long has it been since you looked/felt like that? I was spinning around looking at myself for a good 2-3 minutes, y'all, lol ~ my New #1NSV

May 4: 10 of the 20 inches lost was off my belly! No pics, no proof, lol ~ I love/hate taking photos because they've become one of my best tools. You can't lie and you can't hide. Putting myself on blast 1) creates incentive to increase effort and 2) highlights new areas to focus on. Still a long way from my ultimate goals, but its nice to see muscle memory is real! At a size 15, I haven't been this small in more than 10 years.



APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 197.8
Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
Lost less than a pound, 1.25 inches combined on arms and legs | regained 0.2% body fat and 1/2 inch back on my belly. Starting dietary 200-400 calorie deficit and Intermittent Fasting 18-24 hrs. Breaking fast differently, including more protein, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in May.

Reaching onederland (March 13th) meant the end of 10+ years and up to 80 pounds!! gained and relost too many times to count. Yo-yoing is the main reason for so much body fat!!! Determined not to continue to self-sabotage ... I need a new target!! If I should lose an additional 8% body fat to reach the "standard" for my age, height and sex ~ and up to 15% more to reach excellent ~ that's @ least another 8-15 months of work before I can begin to relax and think maintenance.

January 1st - April 1st, I've lost 17 pounds and a total of 20.8 inches from 11 areas. 🥳 Thrilled to see my hard work reversing prediabetes and years of physical damage. Getting leaner and stronger and chair dancing proud of myself about it!! 57 and hormonal, it's taken longer than expected and a much rougher road than my youth.

Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. / Comment

Previous posts:

12/12: 225.0
Starting tonight I am running the gauntlet of three evenings in a row of Christmas parties. The first two amount to bottomless “high quality” food and drink opportunities. I used quotation marks because the food will be delicious but will not enhance my quality of life. 😊 I am weak but I will try to find my bottom early. That sounds funny but you know what I mean.

I am in this group because I am weak on my own. In a sense I am bringing you all with me to the parties. Picture me with a thought bubble over my head with your pictures in it. HA! I know you will help me limit the damage. The scale may bump up a bit in the next couple days, but not nearly as much as without this group.

12/13: 226.6
12/14: 229.0

12/15: 228.8
The scale has almost exploded the past two days. I know why. I am a sack full of salt, water, TMI, food and inflammation these past two days. Trying to fast today until after 5:00 pm.

12/16: 226.4
The DW now seems to have what could be RSV, or just a very bad cold. Waiting for the other shoe to drop right before we head out for a vaycay. 😊

I had a meeting last night so I only fasted until 4:00 or so. It gave me some time to recover a bit. It felt good to deny myself for a change.

12/17: 226.0
No time to write. Pezhed sent me down a rabbit hole. 😊

12/11/24 : 225.0
SW on day before.


12/18: 227.8
This may be my final scale reading before departing for some time away. I may find an unused space in the vehicle to bring the scale along. DW is against it. She says, “ there is no way you are going to control weight in Florida.” She may be right, but how will I know? I might just bring the tape measure and check different metrics other than weight. I could go on an NSV hunt.

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.

60+ Female using trend weight

I lost an average of 0.3 lbs last round. My focus was supposed to be on the gym x3/week. I got sick towards the end and didn't reach that goal. Still a bit sick but improving. I will still stick with my goal but reduce amount of time spent in the gym until next round.

🐸I will keep the analogy of boiling frog in my head🐸

She says, “ there is no way you are going to control weight in Florida.” She may be right, but how will I know? I might just bring the tape measure and check different metrics other than weight. I could go on an NSV hunt.

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.

Take care, Jeffrey!

12/12 135.5 Pleased with holding my own after fried chicken thigh and a Fat Boy ice cream sandwich at community bingo. Skipped the sweetened Cole slaw and Hawaiian rolls a margarine. I made myself a low carb peppermint martini.
12/13 136.0 Went out for pizza with friends. Their favorite for Chicago pizza in Vegas. The crust (which used to be my favorite part, was tasteless and thick) why didn’t I just eat the toppings like I did when I started LC/HF? Get your head on straight, Jaine!
BTW, thank you for the tip of drinking hot water! I tried it last night and it was quite good! Now I can cut down on coffee which I just heard could go up $1/pound in the next few months!

Hello again, JGMTD crew! I'm Amanda, 39F/5'2" in Virginia

R281 SW: 127.8
R281 GW: 126.8
Planning to hit my 10-pound milestone at 127.4 this round!

NS GOALS:
🏃🏻‍♀️ 7/10 days
🏋🏻‍♀️ lift 3/10 days
🚫 no drinking 5/10 days
📝 track food 7/10 days
✔️core workout 10/10 days
(tracked for the previous day)

Previous days' monologues:

12/12 - 128.6 🏃🏻‍♀️✔️ Not off to a good start on or off of the scale, but I did do some speed work on the tread and did a great 10-minute core for runners Peloton class yesterday. With DH being so stressed I've offered to walk the dogs and take care of dinner every day this week, but I'm kind of regretting it today. I'm supposed to do my long slow run today as well. I'm getting a bit more visibility at work right now so I'm going to have to rearrange my training schedule so that these ever-increasing long runs are on the weekend after the holidays. I think I can ride out Thursdays for a couple more weeks, though. I like not having to sacrifice half of a weekend day with my boys to running. Shockingly, after we get back from Puerto Rico on the 7th, the race will be in only THREE WEEKS. Whoa. By then I'll be approaching tapering my training load. Time sure is speeding by. I was hoping to get to my weight loss goal by then and start bulking/lifting heavy but we shall see.

12/13 - 128.4 🏃🏻‍♀️✔️ Today I will track again. I am REALLY out of the habit. I did my 8 mile run yesterday and slightly hurt my foot by stepping on some uneven terrain. It's already much better than last night, but I will skip my scheduled run today to make sure it's all better. I may go to the gym and row for some lower impact cardio and strength training. I usually just go to my basement, but I think they got a new sauna since I last went. This is all contingent on having a productive morning at work, so off I go!

12/14 - 127.4 🏋🏻‍♀️✔️📝 Wahoo! 10 pounds down since my restart! Already not off to a great start with tracking today - had some odds and ends at the farmers market this morning and no proper breakfast. Planning to pull it together to avoid total upheaval of progress this weekend. Mostly a rest day today other than my core workout I’ll do shortly.

12/15 - 128.6 ✔️📝 Just bouncing around here. Yesterday I ended up taking the dogs on a decent walk and doing a 5-minute core workout. I tracked everything and went over by about 800, so I know it wasn’t a pound’s worth of calories. Today I have to run for an hour. Will be on the treadmill since it’s icy and rainy today. Cookie baking day, too. I’ll have to be careful with the taste testing!

12/16 - 128.4 ✔️🏃🏻‍♀️ Not bad for a Monday! It was an okay weekend. I drank more than I should have and had more carbs than I should have. Saturday I woke up already overwhelmed/overstimulated and just could not get myself out of it despite being fully self-aware about it. Ended in a petty fight with DH when I had a severe protein shortage. Yesterday was a much better day emotionally. Made sugar cookies with the kids and then had some quality time with girlfriends in the evening. Lots of discussion of enneagram types. I'd never found mine out but I am firmly a 9 (peacemaker, avoiding conflict at all costs until I explode LOL). Today is a run day and I'm going to do OMAD. Happy Monday, all!

12/17 - 128.8 ✔️🏃🏻‍♀️🚫📝 Well, I did all the things yesterday except actually maintain a calorie deficit. I reported here I was going to do OMAD but instead I had a late lunch around 2 and then at 5 had a pack of nabs, ugh. Not sure why I was so hungry. Then DH served me up a huge plate of leftover lasagna and I devoured EVERY BITE. I was uncomfortably full afterward but I still had a plate of salad anyway to get in some greens. Between yesterday's overage and Sunday's overage I'm at a half pound of legitimate gained weight. I hit my 10-pound loss and bounced right back up. Today is going to be better - I'm determined!

12/12 - 128.6 🏃🏻‍♀️✔️
12/13 - 128.4 🏃🏻‍♀️✔️
12/14 - 127.4 🏋🏻‍♀️✔️📝
12/15 - 128.6 ✔️📝
12/16 - 128.4 ✔️🏃🏻‍♀️
12/17 - 128.8 ✔️🏃🏻‍♀️🚫📝

12/18 - 128.8 🏋🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️✔️🚫 Not quite giving myself credit for tracking yesterday as I had some splurges later in the day in an indeterminate amount. I'm trying not to get discouraged but my goal for this round is looking increasingly distant. I already ate some cookies today and so far nothing else. Going to have to get some protein in my body shortly or else I'll really go off the rails. Also planning to pound water to flush myself out. No planned workouts today other than a dog walk and core. Feeling blah, which is fitting with the weather here today.

12/18 - 161.0 - I've been behaving very well with my nutrition and ensuring I get my steps and workouts in and my body is dropping off some extra bloat/inflammation it seems as a thank you! I'll take it. I'm still working on bulking so I don't expect to drop too much more, but I'm glad it's gone back down to where I was before all the holiday and hormonal disruptions (: I'm still planning and hoping to squeeze in a workout and dog walk Friday before I have to leave to go swap kiddos at the meetup out-of-state. Especially since I'll be missing 2 Wednesdays (my hardest lower days) in a row due to Christmas and New Years (the gym is closed so even if I wanted to, I couldn't since I don't have the equipment at home). I'm thinking I'll miss a Wednesday workout next week and I'll skip my Friday workout (and do Wednesday on Friday instead) the week of New Years so I'm at least getting some variety. No meal prep the next 2 weeks so nutrition will be a bit more challenging. I may meal prep breakfasts on workout days to make life easier and maybe lunches for the 3-4 days I'll be working the week of New Years (if I drive the kids back Friday, I'll work 3 days. If we do a Saturday meetup, I'll have to work Friday to save the vacation day since it's not my normal day off and I won't have "earned" a vacation day so early in the year).

Previous Day's Comments

12/12 - Ah, there's the drop I was expecting and hoping for! I behaved myself really well yesterday with water, steps, and macros. Today was a challenge to wake up for the gym - despite the weather app saying it'd be warmer this morning, it was actually colder! Plus my alarm went off right in the middle of a dream. Knocked out a good upper body workout and walked 1/2 mile on the treadmill to finish out the hour in the gym. I've been good about walking dogs after I eat my lunch since it is warmer then. I aim to keep that up as these mornings seem to get ever-colder. Today's meals are planned and I have some wiggle room since Fam is looking to meet up tonight. I don't know if I'll go since BF said it'd be in the afternoon and I might still be working (in such a way I cannot work on the road that is). Plus, I'm not sure how late we'll be out and BF's been skipping the gym to sleep in so he's not suffering those later nights while I do. But if I stop the gym now, I might not get back into it and I'll set the tone that I'm willing to sacrifice my health to go out and drink late into the evening which is NOT what I want. Today is also BF's last day at his current job (he has off tomorrow to run errands like return laptop/computer/monitors and get haircut to look nice on his first day). His new one begins fresh on Monday! That said, Fam both work for this company so they're sad to see him go but also happy he's pursuing what he's wanted since he graduated.

12/16 - I forgot to weigh. Today was BF's first day of his new job and my mind was focused on that, not on my normal morning routine. That's okay. Gym this morning for me but took it easy since the weather is causing a bit of sciatica and my knee is feeling stiff and sore. Still got a good workout in despite those things! Coach upped my macros slightly - she lowered carbs and increased fat to account for my coming off of hormone meds last week when I updated her. Today, she increased calories via carbs for the week to ease me up a bit more. We're taking things slow and steady to avoid as much fat gain as possible and have it focused primarily on muscle gain. I'm okay with this, especially with the kids coming this weekend for 2 weeks and being off work all next week - I'll be all messed up on routine!
12/17 - This is good. TOM is well and gone so I knew I'd be seeing a drop. I didn't hit macros Sunday, but I was under in fats and a bit in protein without going over so it was more of a deficit than overeating. That likely helped expedite dropping bloat from Friday and Saturday. Yesterday I hit macros and all my minor habits (water, steps, fiber, etc). Today I'm on track to meet everything as well! Work has been hectic and will likely continue to be hectic through the end of this week (Thursday for me as I travel to get the kids Friday). I'm off next week, though, so the hectic is worth it for a week off! Here's to continuing to make healthy choices and stay mindful

12/17-190.0-(Trend Weight: 192.6)- I weighed in my normal spot and the weight was much lower than I trusted so I moved the scale over a bit and it was a little higher. With it differing the 1st spot I just didn’t trust it. I finally shook the lazies and went downstairs to the basement, on the cement, where I do feel the floor is more level and stable. I got the highest number of the three twice. It's not a direct comparison from yesterday but one that seems accurate so this is the one I’m posting today. I’ve put my scale on the charger even though it wasn’t dead yet. We’ll see what happens tomorrow in my normal (and usually reliable) spot. Otherwise, I’ll be starting each day with a flight of stairs which probably isn’t a bad idea anyway! Christmas concert tonight at the school. Doctor appointment tomorrow for diabetes check and general care at my PCP's. I’m not sure if my weight is up or down since my last appointment. I’ll have to research. T-Minus 3.6 lbs today. 1.4 lbs to go on my micro-mini goal.

12/18-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.4)- Spent last night self-sabotaging before my doctor appointment so my weight would be higher and I wouldn’t have to endure a compliment. I mean, why else would I do such a thing the evening before an important appointment? Or maybe I was just too close to a new decade in weight. Or maybe I was getting too close to my 5 lb goal. Ughhhh…. Anyway, they didn’t mention my weight which is strange because I’ve gained a lot this year. I came home and researched and on the day of my last appt (in Aug) I had already gained so much that my weight that today actually came in at EXACTLY the same as the last appt 190.6 so that explains it. Out to lunch earlier with my son afterward which is a tradition (so he’ll go to the doctor). Tomorrow’s scale will likely not be good. However, I’ll try to keep tomorrow a compliant day as I travel 8 hours round trip on Friday (plus the time for the dr appointment and some shopping) and there will be lunch and dinner out. This is where the weight gain begins for the Holidays for me. Starting today. I’ve really got to practice portion control to offset the choices! T-minus 3 lbs with 2 left to go.

Well, I had a slip yesterday but it's good to see the direct affect on the scale today to get me back in line. I was tired yesterday and had carbs, cheese and sugar. I also didn't walk as much as usual because the wind was unbearable. I did do a work out which is good. Back on track today, even if I'm tired, I need to make better choices, as I know that carbs etc. Only make me more tired.

This morning I made a chocolate protein shake using Ancient Nutrition brand (chocolate protein + with adaptogens), with a dash of collagen, a spoon of high quality powdered cacao, astragalus tincture for an immune boost, and cacao nibs. I notice my body feels less inflamed, and my joints feel..lubricated. I'd like to return to envisioning myself as someone who drinks green juices and protein drinks in the mornings, since I notice it tends to curb my afternoon cravings.

I forgot to leave a message here yesterday but I've still been logging, which feels great. And drinking water. I just spent the laugh hour on with a coaching client and we laughed so much, even with intense subject matter. I'm really thankful for that!

Affirmation: I deeply respect and honor my sacred body.

Round 281
Dec 12 -22, 2024

62 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.

History:

Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a two grandsons. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

SW: 135.4

Day/Weight/Comment

12/12 – 135.4 Absolutely a miracle number. I have stepped on the scale here and there in my absence, and I have seen some other less pleasant numbers. I was truly shocked this morning when I prepared for a check in. Goal this round is just to get back to tracking and giving myself that little bit of time each day. I would rather succeed at that than pick a lofty goal when I am already struggling to focus again.

12/13 – 135.4 Checking in way late in the day. Not when I would normally prefer. But I did not miss/skip a day. That is a win or sorts!

12/14 – 135.0 did not track yesterday, but did not do any crazy binges. It is so interesting how habits that can be “easy” for me, like tracking, can turn into something I struggle with. Currently, I am just trying to limp along until I make it down to Florida. I head there for 4 months right around new years. Meanwhile, I need to have my mother and her aids square away for my absence. Get my home in order to be left alone. Host x-mas for 15, which I cook for extensively, and just general holiday stuff.

Currently, once in Florida, my friend “susan” is going to introduce me to the gym she uses three times a week. Another friend “renee” likes yoga, and I have promised to try some classes during the times she is down there. I’ll have my walking group for in the morning (but that seems to be falling apart a bit). When I get home in May, I will be shopping for my mother of the groom dress, so whatever happens in those 4 months will be deciding.

Has anyone tried the habitnest books? I’ve asked for the weight training one as an xmas gift. Supposed to have like 67 completely defined gym workouts. It sounds like a great way to re-introduce myself to the gym (yes, I have used all sorts of weights in my past).

12/15 – 134.6 another late day posting

12/16 – 136.0 Odd. Yesterday had been reasonable, while previous days, so go. Was not where I expected the uptick. Anyhow, I reported in and the day is not over!! A win!! See you in a few hours.

12/17 – 135.4 Haha! Full circle for me. I’m not yet tracking

12/18 – 135.8 Gotta just get to 2025!
