@pezhed
You’re at an exciting pivotal point in your life… Time to write a new chapter and you’re the author! You not a passenger, you are THE driver! I know it’s not that easy and it will be difficult, but I KNOW you’re up for the challenge!
@_JeffreyD_ have fun on your cruise! I know you’ll get in lots of steps! oh, and a gym… I bet there’s a gym!!! 🤣🤣🤣!
@quiltingjaine I started my journey on keto… Still a foundational guide.
@Chapter_3 I didn't even think about a gym onboard! I bet it won't be busy either. HA!4 -
Final post of this round. The best to all of you as you work toward your goals. I will scrounge around for the link of the next round when I get back.7

#ENGAGED #DRIVER #HSF
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 at this round! I want a sustainable #HSF BHAG that’s achievable with hard work & determination. I’ve committed to an “inbody” scan Saturday 2/1.
R286 Commitments TO ME:

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… !

Ten 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! 🙂

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 192.4
01/31-191.2-(Trend Weight: 192.4)- I stayed true to my goals yesterday but still no structured exercise. Just so messy and busy around here but reno is going well. This morning I am thinking about (and wondering) if my summer clothes are going to fit okay. I guess I will look back at my stats and see what I weighed last year. Time to prepare for the worst but hope for the best! Good luck everyone this round.

@quiltingjaine So glad your DH is taking care of himself. My DH has spent the whole day dealing with one obstinate jerk in our association who is determined to just cause trouble. We head back to the insanity on 8 am flight tomorrow.
Sheri, I wish I could say he is. Yesterday he called Carnival to see about getting internet for one day so he can Zoom the stupid board meeting! It is possible but he’ll have to arrange it once we get on the ship. It will be our 3rd full day at sea.

Day, Weight, Comment
1/31 - 166.9 - TOM showed up this morning a bit unexpectedly. This is okay, I figured it was going to arrive sooner than my app had estimated and I was right listening to my body. Hopefully this means some extra bloating will drop off in the coming days. I'm not holding my breath given it is a weekend and BF is coming home tonight. We're postponing date night to tomorrow since he'll be arriving home so late due to rush hour traffic being unavoidable and I know he just wants to get home. I'll make something tonight that's healthy and balanced for us both. All else is going well, though! I need to make a meal plan for next week so I can grab groceries tomorrow so I'll start on that here shortly since work is over.

1/31: I’m so ready to leave January behind me as it was a rough month! I set out to reset my habits, but staying consistent was much harder than expected with stress, grief, and poor sleep all up in the mix. Sticking to my diet and building solid routines has been an uphill battle, but I’m staying the course. As Firmer February begins, I’m focused on steady progress ~ knowing small, mindful steps will add up to lasting transformation. Cheers to a stronger, more balanced month!
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. ~Colin Powell5 Steps to a Firmer February

@quiltingjaine So glad your DH is taking care of himself. My DH has spent the whole day dealing with one obstinate jerk in our association who is determined to just cause trouble. We head back to the insanity on 8 am flight tomorrow.
Sheri, I wish I could say he is. Yesterday he called Carnival to see about getting internet for one day so he can Zoom the stupid board meeting! It is possible but he’ll have to arrange it once we get on the ship. It will be our 3rd full day at sea.
@quiltingjaine Sneak over to the purser and give him a tip to "accidentally" disable the internet. :P We will be a little nutty here for the next week. Condo board training tomorrow (most of the day) for DH, the late afternoon meeting. Tuesday, double meetings AM and after dinner. Then late in the week, the annual meeting, after which we personally will host a social for all the member of the association in our unit. Meanwhile, our "jerk" has been a pip all day today, on top of the past three days.3 -

“Maintenance" is not a temporary step, it's how I eat now and going forward. Learning to eat well through holidays, vacations, family issues and events is part of the process of change and growth to make this my lifestyle.

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.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 286(my 216th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.
• So here we go again, I’m just keeping plugging away! New round, taking something forward from @Chapter_3 (again) if I may "We should be strategically engaged with our lives each day, right?! That’s my word… ENGAGED." " I will try to keep that word ENGAGED in my mind over these new 10 days & also remember that I am the driver of my life & not the passenger. My goal for this round is to get back to 141. 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 & then relaxing for the last 2/3 is not acceptable! 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 or even a piranha!
• 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.

I’ve got that early morning energy, where I believe I can do anything and accomplish all of my goals today. Now to carry that feeling through the whole day!

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 at this round! I want a sustainable #HSF BHAG that’s achievable with hard work & determination. I’ve committed to an “inbody” scan Saturday 2/1.

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… !

2/1 I’ve decided to ⚖️ 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 Ill move forward as if I do!
