    Me / Mission/ RND 286 Commitments
    ************************

    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.
    #HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
    #helpfulhabits #agingyounger

    📣BHAG Restated: My FIRST BHAG was to hit 128xlbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range @128lbs by 1/30/2025. I did not make it. Maybe I’ll reach it this round! I want a sustainable #HSF BHAG that’s achievable with hard work & determination.

    R286 Commitments TO ME:
    *************************
    I am tracking all of these in “HabitKit”

    Backstory & JGMTD 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

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

    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 a 5-min lymphatic massage & ⏱️“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. On this journey, I have made positive progress with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & but improving. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until this part of my life is healthy too.
    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)!!!!

    👇🏻Progress 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 👏🏻🤩 (1/31/25 This is down due to injury - I pledge to recommit. )
    2. ✅#HSF: 🤸‍♂️ Daily stretch & mobility 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 115-125g 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
    ****************
    1/30. I had a good rest day. Slept poorly the night before, so I took it easy. Ready for R286!

    1/31 130.0. Hovering. Lingering at base camp. Ready to ascend 🏔️. Summit bound!

    NOTE: for all of us who are quick to gain (REAL WEIGHT) and slow to lose…. It’s took me eight weeks to lose 2 lbs !!!! 🐌EIGHT FREAKING WEEKS for TWO POUNDS! Thats a really good (bad) thing to remember. I think it’ll be one of my morning mantras… “Now remember Carolyn it takes 8 wks to lose 2 lbs! Stay focused!

    2/1 I’ve decided to skip ⚖️ on days that I have slept well. Sleepless nights rarely lead to a positive day for me - it’s just not worth it to start this day with an added “negative” / needless let down. My body feeling tight & full of inexplicable cortisol - something happening at a level that I’m not tapped into….? It could be as simple as not “moving” yesterday & storing excess energy? Guessing.

    Ate at maintenance yesterday. Missed 🥩goal. Made the mistake of heading to an estate sale early and spent most of the day there - so I did not reach 🚶‍♀️💓… or truly move at all! Oh, but I had such an enjoyable day.

    I have 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️💓🎾scheduled today. We will have gorgeous weather all weekend. The weather will help me jumpstart a positive weekend. Lacking energy, but I’ll move forward as if I do!

    2/1 ⚖️129-132?!? Up and down. And yesterday was an awesome day! I talked to hubby about the scale fluctuations … He fluctuates between [162 - 167] day in / day out… I guess it just is what it is. (I was under protein yesterday and ate at maintenance… ) need to get back to 115-120g protein… I’ve been off consistently there.

    Whenever I consistently eat at “maintenance”, I tend to put on a little…Maintenance for me is 1400 cal and I’m active so I just don’t get it… I cannot eat any less and I refuse to do so. (unless I’m trying to take-off those last few pounds… Seems to me I could take a day or two off (AT MAINTENANCE) and get right back on, but it doesn’t seem to work that way!) And I slept like a rock last night… as I look back and review, it appears my sleepless nights are 💯associated with lack of 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️💓during the day… So the more I move the better I sleep, which is pretty obvious, right?

    Today I’ll return to eating at a (-300) caloric deficit and making sure my macros are 100%!

    2/3 +++ Positive day but scale no budge. ✅all “habits”. Did I NOT lose THE 2lbs after all? Definitely a mini tug-o-war. We did eat later than usual, but I’m now beginning to feel a self-imposed “under a microscope” burden and I wish to let that go for a little bit. Analyzing every little nuance to figure out a POUND! Sheesh!

    Saying no to the “microscope” and adopting a “macro-scope”! Yes! A macroscope! I will continue to follow my “habits.”

    “Just for today”- I will focus on the BIG picture - loving me! Perhaps I shall skip ⚖️ for the next three days… #HSF is a balancing act. Hard stuff.
    Today: 🎾 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️💓!
    2/4 Analysis rest!🤗
    2/5 Same (this is weird!)
    2/6 I’m on my way to a massage and facial! Oh yes!

    2/7 I realize that I am a unique person - fearfully and wonderfully made. The scale is not my friend when I am 💯committed and doesn’t budge. But it is my friend when I do not follow plan and it gives me the honest feedback that I need to see / experience in order to change course. Simply, I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t… 🧐

    I’ve decided to use the scale randomly. It simply does not help me (personally) to weigh every.single.day. I already track every morsel. I track every movement & habit. Somehow the scale always manages to take center-stage. No more. It’s being put in its place as an understudy!

    These last few days I have not been in any way “less engaged”… And, I’ve been so much more at ease and comfortable. It’s wild.

    It’s one thing to “DNW” if Im feeling guilty … it’s very much another when I choose to “DNW” to stay the course.

    The key is to keep pushing, no matter what - with or without the scale.

    I will stay consistent, trust the process, and I’ll continue to move forward.
    🤗🤓

    BTW: The massage I received yesterday was incredible. Major that tension & knots in my body that are no longer… I think I’ll do it again in another couple of weeks. The facial was sublime! I think it’s only my second facial in about 15 years… My morning of self pampering was delightful! Feeling light today! I plan on getting extra steps all weekend… It will feel good to get out and walk again.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 💪🏻

    2/8 ⚖️I weighed this morning because I thought it was the last day of JGMTD … So I guess I’ll weigh again tomorrow too. ⚖️ Surprised. No analysis. (Although I do have an armchair theory!) Hit all nutrition measures. ✅

    Supposed to play tennis this morning, but I think the courts will be too wet… 🚶‍♀️and then to DGS Tucker‘s soccer game… my goal is to stay on nutrition plan, live in present moment (w/ heart filled with gratitude : NSV: This is intentional mind shifting). Stretching: will emphasize mobility/flexibility &🏋️‍♀️today.

    *************
    I give myself a “B” this round as I was fully engaged, but “executed” inconsistentIy. I would’ve given myself an A+ if I would’ve hit 🚶‍♀️10k & 🏋️‍♀️ a few more days… For instance, yesterday 🚶‍♀️7.5k and there was ample time to finish … I also 🏋️‍♀️for 10 minutes - not 25min. … I chose to play tennis a little longer and to do a sauna & other stuff since it was the “weekend” . But I still could’ve FINISHED… had every opportunity to ✅ those off. I’m not beating up on myself. I simply dont want to make excuses because I truly desire to 🚶‍♀️10k a day, 🏋️‍♀️ 25 min every other day… and if that’s the case I need to do it & I need to FINISH!!!! I did focus more on flexibility & mobility when stretching… am making strides there.

    Still, I focused and learned a lot about myself. I chose to stay away from the scale three days while simultaneously staying on plan. Choosing to not 🔍analyze & it freed me tremendously. Analyzing several ounce of fluctuations, every nuance of my bodily systems, when I’m deligently tracking everything is kinda sick. It really is…. It’s overboard. That’s why I’m here. So for now, the scale is no longer the star of my story.

    I realize I’m in a different stage of my journey than most on JGMTD…. Each of us must find a way to be true to ourselves to continue to strive toward wellness.

    Im more firmly at “base camp” with another NSV to ascend the 🏔️.

    🥁🥁🥁I just realized that “NSV” took on a new meaning for me … a TRUE “non-scale” victory!!!!

    See y’all next round!

    02/08-195.7-(Trend Weight: 193.2)- OMGosh. I am FREAKING OUT!!! Thinking back this morning I realized that I gave my entire dinner to my DGS (age 7) who wanted more. Then I did not fix myself anything else because I wasn’t that hungry at the time. Later was filled with “approved” snacks in abundance. It never dawned on me that I’d never had dinner so I filled up on the snacks (which takes a LOT). He just kept me too busy to even think or realize. Yes, I guess I am blaming a poor child that was hungry but the truth is the truth. I will work on this weight today and plan all the meals for everyone more carefully. He must be in a growth spurt! I certainly am.

    02/09-195.7-(Trend Weight: 193.5)- Last night my son & I made that Chef-boy-r-dee pizza kit in a box for dinner, adding our own cheese and more pepperoni. I’m just not a big pizza eater anymore in my older age but it was delicious to me. Such a nostalgic taste. I just love that sauce that comes in the included can. I’m shocked I didn’t gain this morning! I hope it don’t creep up on me in the coming days. This was probably the worst recorded round I’ve ever had. Other than day 1, I’ve had to type in black or the dreaded blue every single day! My weight climbed almost daily and I seem to have momentarily given up. It’s emotional eating, it’s “I’m busy” eating, it’s even self-sabotage on some of the days. I’ll try again for a better day today. I’ve had a personal specific , shall I say “project?”, hanging over my head for the past week that I finally pulled the trigger on, made decisions on and acted on. Perhaps having that in my rearview mirror will help. Nice round for so many. I’m so Proud of you all for the continued commitment. See you tomorrow in round 287.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

    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 to start back up the day before Round 278 started.

    SW Rnd 286: 149.9 (68 kg)

    1/31- 149.8 (67.9 kg) Off to a good start. Honestly, I would be happy just to end this round anywhere in the 140s. It was supposed to snow today, but the weather warmed up and we've had rain all day instead. I'm glad I didn't have to commute home in a mess but I'm hoping the mountains got some snow to build up the snowpack.
    2/1- 149.1 (67.6 kg) Today my husband insisted I buy new bras because none of them fit. I have been resorting to wearing my sports bra and even that was on its tightest setting and wasn't as supportive any more. So we drove 170 miles (275 km) one way to Dillard's so I could go somewhere with fitters and a decent selection. I had forgotten how nice it is to have properly fitting and supportive undergarments. I should have done this a long time ago.
    2/2- 149.8 (67.9 kg) Only a semi-productive day but that's okay.
    2/3- 149.3 (67.7 kg) Crazy busy Monday at work. Turkey tacos for dinner tonight. Staying in calories.
    2/4- 148.7 (67.4 kg) Bitter wind and snowy tonight. I had my monthly coffee with friends and did a paint n sip afterwards. I need to stick with the chocolate chip cookie at Starbucks. I did the brownie tonight and it wasn't worth the calorie difference.
    2/5- 148.5 (67.4 kg) Today was not a great work day. I felt tired, discouraged and defeated by lots of little things out of my control (and tempted to eat my feelings). I got off work very late, spouse is traveling again, and I was trying to think of something for dinner that sounded appealing. As I was about to head out the door, one of the kitchen workers that happened to be in the hall asked me if I wanted dinner and ran into the kitchen and grabbed me a piping hot container of lasagna. I think they're technically supposed to charge but he said not to worry about it because they had extras from dinner service. That random act of kindness lifted my entire day. It can be so easy to dwell on the negatives, but small acts of good can have a big impact.
    2/6- 148.1 (67.2 kg) Resisted the urge to go to the local bar and grill that's a few blocks away. I have been craving their fried chicken sandwich and fries with queso. I will go at some point, but I'm hoping we can go to our favorite place this weekend for a burger since they've just opened back up from their usual January break.
    2/7- 147.8 (67 kg) Got my burger tonight. Delicious! But less than 2 hours after dinner, my stomach was protesting. Even though I didn't quite finish it all, I think I ate too much. I told my husband to help remind me of this next time we go. Smaller me must have a smaller stomach.
    2/8- 148.1 (67.2 kg) I'm going to call today mildly productive. We did some chores, ran some errands, and daydreamed a bit about potential future house projects.
    2/9- 147.9 (67.1 kg) We're going to try to hit up Costco after the Superbowl starts in hopes it will be less busy. It is beautifully sunny today, but cold. It was 9° (-13C) out when I woke up. It's now a more reasonable 20° (-6C). I'm feeling content to stay inside. Looking forward to starting 10 more days tomorrow.

    I'mTen Days Round 286

    I've made it through one complete round. This round's goals are the same.
    Daily I will weigh myself; record everything I eat & drink; and post to stay mindful of good habits.

    My universe is insane right now. I've had no time to read everyone's posts. I'm missing out on valuable insight. Hopefully, I'll get a breather during this round.

    Wishing SUCCESS to us all! 🙂

    Ended Round 285 at 152.2lbs, up 1.0lbs for the round

    1/31 - 152.6 ⬆️0.4lbs
    2/1- 152.6 ➖ 0.0lbs
    2/2 - 149.0 ⬇️3.6lbs
    2/3 - 149.4 ⤴️0.4lbs
    2/4 -149.6 ⬆️0.2lbs
    2/5 - 150.8 ⬆️1.2lbs
    2/6 - 150.6 ⤵️0.2lbs
    2/7 - 150.6 ➖0.0lbs
    2/8 - 147.4 ⬇️3.2lbs
    2/9 - 149.2lbs ⤴️1.8lbs
    Down 3.0lbs for the ten days.

    1/31 - Weigh, Record, Post. All done.

    2/1 - Happy Weekend MFP friends. Goals met: weighed, recorded, & posted. Everything else needs improvement but my weight is holding at the docs goal.

    2/2 - Happy Sunday MFP friends.

    Weighed Recorded & Posted 🙂 Another successful day. I'm making progress.

    I've lost a bit. Down 3.6lbs today and loving the 140s as I look forward to the 130s. The massive one day drop is because I weighed myself early. True loss is about a pound for which I'm grateful.

    Re-claiming lost good habits is harder than dropping them. This is a good obsession I twice convinced myself was not important. Why do I abandon what works? Cheers to returning to my good place. 😊

    2/3 - After yesterday's large "scale victory" anything less can feel like a let down. I've taken a reality check.

    I'm still grading myself as needs improvement. The remaining pounds will come off by burning fat and building lean muscle.

    2/4 - Damn you scale, up 0.2lbs at 149.6lbs. I'm looking forward to normal fluctuations sticking below 149.0lbs.

    Anyhoo... That's another day weighed, recorded and posted. As I get closer to re-creating one good habit I'm considering what's next.

    Macros need to fall into place for me to reach my lean muscle goal. It's time to work a new plan based on my old eating and exercise habits.

    Glad to see so many here honoring commitment to self care. Reading your posts and comments is encouraging. I remember some of you while others are new to me. (Or, maybe only the avatar has changed? 😉)

    I'm looking forward to when I can read your posts regularly. Best wishes for everyone's success.

    2/5 - Arrrgh, up over a pound and back in the 150s. I know it's because I'm weighing at night today but it still stings. Hopefully the 140s will firmly stick by months end.

    Daily goals for the round complete.
    Weigh Record Post
    I didn't feel like doing this but I got it done.

    2/6 - Goals completed:
    Weighed✓ Recorded✓ Posted✓
    This week I returned to recording exercise. Cardio okay but I have a make up session due for strength.

    All the best everyone! 🙂

    2/7 - Weigh✓ Record✓ Post✓ All done.

    2/8 - Weigh✓ Record✓ Post✓ All done.
    Calories down & protein intake up.

    2/9 - Closing this round 3.0lbs ⬇️ at
    149.2lbs. My daily challenge goals to weigh, record and post have been met.

    ☺️I Appreciate Everyone Here❣️

    It has been a difficult few months with no relief in sight. Reading your posts when I can and posting daily keeps grounded in this one very important area of life: Good Health. The best possible health for each individual affects everything in life both short and long term.

    Today is 16 years post Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass surgery. I've stayed within the medical definition of success back in 2009. Maintain weight loss of at least 65% of the excess weight after five years.

    Even at my worst with chronic steroid use and hypothyroidism I continue to do ok. 😍 Maintaining is hard but this is where the OCD tendencies that kept me fat now help me to avoid regressing.

    Rather than obsessively comfort eating I obsess over how extra pounds immediately show up in my blood pressure. I remember how I felt fine and performed my normal activities when my blood pressure was 125/225. That is well within stroke level.

    I got lucky. My blood pressure was being monitored during unrelated medical treatment. Immediate steps were taken to get my blood pressure within a safe range.

    Nonetheless, it took far too long for me to act. Believing I could lose weight without help was foolish. Again, I was lucky that during this wasted time I did not suffer irreparable damage to my health.

    Commonly, medical professionals do not understand that obesity is complex and multi faceted. Don't just "google it ". Do high quality research. Learn from multiple credible sources. Make informed decisions for every aspect of health.

    Professionals work for you. Perhaps you are not seeing the positive results you need. Perhaps the practitioner is not comfortable with or refuses to "entertain" alternatives. Quit and replace until you find the practitioner whose treatment yields measurable improvement to your health.

    For me it was chronic uncontrolled blood pressure. No matter how much medication I took there was no stability. Exercise is a life long habit that I enjoy but I've been regarded as someone sitting on my fat @ss expecting to lose weight. Doctors were "fired" and replaced until I found one who stopped prescribing the same medications that do not work for me.

    Changing physicians changed everything and got results: measurably normal blood pressure. He optimized my daily workouts rather than assuming I did no physical activity. One positive experience led me to find a bariatric surgeon who understands the complexity of being fat as well as my individual issues. The second positive led me to finding an endocrinologist to treat me as a patient and not a fat person looking for excuses. The hard work of finding the practitioner you need beats the frustration of living in less than optimal health.

    A person's physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health are intertwined to make us who we are. Each part of a person has parts of its own. I've learned to address the small pieces so the whole self can be in the best possible health.

    Wishing everyone the very best health!

    SW - 175.8
    GW - 155

    Backstory
    In 2022 I was around 157lbs with 24% bf. Was definitely in the “best shape” of my adult life then. Since then I started a new career working from home as a developer. Have moved away from my family for fiancés job. We’ve moved several times to various states in a short time span. So far we’ve moved 3 times, all about 9 months apart. Welcomed two puppies into the mix. Lots of changes. Lots of time spent at home. Lots of time spent away from family. Fell out of touch with friends. All of the adjustments and figuring out how to manage/handle more daily responsibilities and navigate through this phase of life has manifested into me gaining 20+lbs and losing a lot of willpower, motivation, drive, positivity, etc that I once thrived on. Found this challenge and it has been helping me get it back. Nothing is permanent! Looking forward to working through this.

    Overall Goals and Challenges
    Goals
    1. Focusing on behavior and mindset. Calories have been going way over for so long I need to reel the behavior back in a healthy way.
    2. Don’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
    Challenges
    1. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.
    2. Sleeping less (have two puppies, a 9mo and a 1yr old) makes it hard to wake up early enough to get a good workout in or at least to feel good awaking up. Feel defeated in the motivation and drive department compared to how I was previously.

    Daily, Small, Attainable Goals
    1. Finish 1st 27oz water before 2pm
    2. Finish 2nd 27oz water before bed
    3. Alternate standing and sitting at desk every other hour during working hours (or stand at least half of the day).
    4. Hit maintenance calories at a minimum.
    5. -200 cal deficit on gym days
    6. If I go over cals, try to cap it at +200
    7. Weekly deficit of 1300cals.

    Helpful Reminders
    …it IS possible to achieve my goals. Sometimes it CAN just be that simple…

    Hi, I'm Charissa.

    Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for leading the charge in 2025!

    This is the "rubber hits the road" round for me. Before getting sick last round, I was .7 higher than my starting 2025 weight. So all losses were due to my illness. I just need to tell this to my brain! I also need to make sure I'm expecting realistic losses which is about 1lb.

    Good Luck to everyone this round!

    Q: What will be different in 2025 vs all the other times?
    A: Change in my mindset
    A: Being mindful and engaged
    A: Addressing the elephant in the room!
    A: No excuses
    A: DETERMINED AND ENGAGED


    Overall Goals for 2025
    Lose weight in the kitchen ⚖️, get fit in the gym🏋🏾‍♀️
    Note: These are pretty much my same goals from 2023 and 2024, I've made some great progress but now it's time to knock this list out! My goals are SMART - just not including all the details here:

    Goal#1 - Calories - Aim and plan for 1200; allow 400 just in case for a total of 1600. **Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
    Goal#2 - Wine/Alcohol Reduction - 85% Dry January or better ** 🚫🍷 Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!
    Goal #3 - Water - Minimum 50 ounces - Maximum 100 (only if consumed before 6pm) H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
    Goal #4 - Exercise - 6 days a week (Cardio, Core, Stretching, Strength Training) ~ 🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
    Goal #5 - Self Care (Reading, Journaling, Monthly recap, Learning, Pampering)
    Goal #6 - Organization and Declutter (Finish unpacking)
    ** To get to 100%

    1/31 227.8 ~
    2/1 227.2~ 🍎⬇️🚫 I would like to know how to channel the energy of a 4.9 year old (he turns 5 in two weeks). I made the mistake of telling him that we would be going to lunch at McDonalds and then going to see Mufasa on today, yesterday. I've forgotten life with a youngin....he was up at 3:30am asking if it was morning!!!
    2/2 226.4 ~ 🍎⬇️🚫 Today's goal. WATER!!!
    2/3 DNW ~ 📖📔 I'm sure it's up and I'll face it tomorrow. Didn't get the water in and the day ended with unplanned pizza. Back on schedule today with 2.83 mile walk (Feb Apple challenge), and Water!!
    2/4 228.2 ~ 🚶🏽✅💧📖📔Walk completed, water at 51ounces but could be better.
    2/5 228.8 ~ 💧📖📔I've got to reign this in and get in control. I did well with water yesterday but made this dish with andouille sausage (sodium), peppers, onions and potatoes (sodium & carbs). And proceeded to consume too much. Today is chicken and broccoli! It's going to be a great day when everything just "clicks"
    2/6 229.4
    2/7 229.2
    2/8 229.0 Out for Anniversary Celebration.

    Backstory
    In 2022 I was around 157lbs with 24% bf. Was definitely in the “best shape” of my adult life then. Since then I started a new career working from home as a developer. Have moved away from my family for fiancés job. We’ve moved several times to various states in a short time span. So far we’ve moved 3 times, all about 9 months apart. Welcomed two puppies into the mix. Lots of changes. Lots of time spent at home. Lots of time spent away from family. Fell out of touch with friends. All of the adjustments and figuring out how to manage/handle more daily responsibilities and navigate through this phase of life has manifested into me gaining 20+lbs and losing a lot of willpower, motivation, drive, positivity, etc that I once thrived on. Found this challenge and it has been helping me get it back. Nothing is permanent! Looking forward to working through this.

    Overall Goals and Challenges
    Goals
    1. Focusing on behavior and mindset. Calories have been going way over for so long I need to reel the behavior back in a healthy way.
    2. Don’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
    Challenges
    1. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.
    2. Sleeping less (have two puppies, a 9mo and a 1yr old) makes it hard to wake up early enough to get a good workout in or at least to feel good awaking up. Feel defeated in the motivation and drive department compared to how I was previously.

    Daily, Small, Attainable Goals
    1. Finish 1st 27oz water before 2pm
    2. Finish 2nd 27oz water before bed
    3. Alternate standing and sitting at desk every other hour during working hours (or stand at least half of the day).
    4. Hit maintenance calories at a minimum.
    5. -200 cal deficit on gym days
    6. If I go over cals, try to cap it at +200
    7. Weekly deficit of 1300cals.

    Helpful Reminders
    …it IS possible to achieve my goals. Sometimes it CAN just be that simple…
