Finding the tools to find my way…
“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.

2/6: and holding, but I should be used to this- it's a slow trek down this hill. No gym yesterday, my only option was late, and I just didn't want to face the January dark and cold last night. Today our new bike is being delivered (yay!) so cardio will be right behind my desk- no excuses!9 -

2/3 149.4 Lots of walking on a gorgeous day! I SO enjoyed yesterday!!! Supposed to be beautiful again today, so let's see what I can get into!
2/4 149.8 Another spectacular false-spring day here in east TN. Went to the park for a long walk, then played outside with the grandkids after picking them up from school. Can’t beat a day like that in early February! I am so grateful for the reprieve from the cold, damp, and gray! I know it won’t last, but I’m going to enjoy it. Today I will focus on lowering my carbs again. I have let them sneak up since being sick last round. Time to squash that unhealthy trend.
2/5 150 I really think this is just because I am finally feeling better now and am eating normally again. I did well with my diet and got in lots of walking on another really beautiful day! We did go out to eat last night and although careful with what I ate, there’s always the salt factor. I want to get back in the 140s, so I’ll be even more careful today.
2/6 149.2 Two really good walks yesterday, one at church before Bible Study then another in the afternoon around the neighborhood. I have gotten carbs back where they need to be and protein back up, so hopefully I can continue to lose a little more before the end of the round. I’ll do well to just get back to where I started this round, if that is even possible. But considering I was still a bit sick at the start of the round, I’ll take that as a win if I can make it happen. Headed to the gym today for a bit of strength training and a class. Then I get to spend some time with my DGS this afternoon. Should be a good day!

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

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.

I didn't feel like doing this but I got it done.

This week I returned to recording exercise. Cardio okay but I have a make up session due for strength.

BackstoryIn 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 ChallengesGoals
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 Goals1. 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…

2/1 - DNW. Yesterday I just had bacon and eggs and a bowl of delicious ramen so I probably didn’t do too much damage. Today we’re starting the day with a yoga class, meeting another friend for dumplings for lunch, and going to an improv show. Should be doing a fair amount of walking. Then early bed before the race! It’s so nice to be here with my friends from long ago.
2/2 - DNW. Race day!! Waiting for my Lyft to take me to the start line! Thanks for the good luck wishes everyone! Excited and nervous. I checked out an audiobook from the library I plan to listen to. I forgot my planned fuel in the hotel room and don’t want to disturb my friends, but they’ll have Nuun on the race course which should help every half hour or so. I’ll let everyone know how it goes! Hoping to find the 2 hr 15 minute pacer and stay close to them! 🤞🏻
2/3 - DNW. Very long travel day so didn't post either!
2/4 - 126.4. Yeesh! Well, just goes to show you that you can't walk or run off bad food choices LOL. No regrets, though. San Francisco had amazing food! Here in the boonies of VA the restaurant quality is not high, so it's nice to visit a more food-centric place every now and then. Thank you all so much for the congratulations on the race! I'm so glad I made it through and had the support of this group throughout training and completing it! I had to pack up my work computer today to send it back so I'm adjusting to the transition back to my own laptop. Ironically, earlier last week I had ordered a standing desk to use at home for work. Whomp whomp. I think I'll still assemble it and use it even though I don't have a job.
I'm still trying to regroup after completion of the half, loss of the job, and my travel. My goals are so unclear now! It's a good opportunity to clear the deck. I will set one goal for this round - get back to my start weight of 124.0. I just got a "Personalized plan" that's a mix of strength and cardio from Peloton I'm going to try following for a little bit until I figure out what's next.
2/5 - 125.4. Okay, there goes some water/lactic acid buildup (thanks for the reminder @Chapter_3!). Did a nice, simple Peloton strength workout yesterday and went walking with a friend. Today I'm going to walk the dogs and maybe go for a short easy run to flush things out. Also wanting to clean a bunch and have to remove things from our main bathroom. We have a bathroom remodel coming up and demolition starts tomorrow! DH and I went to hardware stores yesterday and picked out our fixtures, flooring, and paint color. Right now our bathroom is directly from 1985 (like me!) with wallpaper and all, so I'm excited to have it updated!
2/6 - 125.0. Going to track today to try to hit my 124.0 goal. I'm going to yoga at our local studio with a friend this morning, then plan to do my 350th Peloton walk this afternoon. The instructors do shoutouts during live classes when you hit a milestone (every 50 of a certain activity category) so I'm going to try to get a shoutout in a class! Silly but motivating. Yesterday I spent nearly all day emptying my old desk, lugging it out to the garage, building the new desk, and cleaning up all the packaging. Didn't realize that was going to be such a huge project! But I love the new desk even though I don't have a job to do at it LOL. For now I'll use it for MyFitnessPal and life planning. Demo of our bathroom starts around 11 today!

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.

2/06 - 168.2 - I'm not entirely sure why I'm up. Maybe DOMS? I did have my hardest workout of the week yesterday morning and I'm definitely feeling it today. Food was good yesterday and I'm planned out for today, minus a couple snacks (again, battling the low carb issue I have been all week). Tomorrow I'll be grocery shopping and coming up with a good dinner to make for when BF gets home. I will be improvising lunch and dinner so, hopefully, I won't be dealing with the single macro issues I have all week. Feeling pretty good about this going forward.

Previous Day's Comments1/31 - 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.
2/01 - As expected, a nice drop now TOM's arrived. Today is a bit up in the air with food as we postponed date night to today since the Man arrived home so late from training last night and just wanted to relax at home. It's lunch but he has some errands he'd like to run so I'm not sure if we'll eat out or grab something at home before heading out. I'll do my best to eat sensibly regardless. Also need to squeeze in a walk with the dogs at some point today, particularly now that it's nice and sunny and it's warming up quite a bit.
2/02 - DNP
2/03 - Ouch. Not without reason, though. BF was home this weekend and I only got about a day and a half to spend with him. We ended up having lunch and dinner out Saturday (lunch was reasonable, dinner was pizza). Due to meal prep and my kitchen being a bit overcrowded with that, I ended up splitting the rest of the leftover pizza with BF for lunch Sunday. Dinner was very early (3pm compared to our normal 5-6pm) so I was quite hungry before bed and ate again. I was in my emotions from BF being gone another week so I didn't make the best choices. Fortunately, during the work week I have routine to keep me in check. He's gone this week and next week so I'll only have 1 more weekend that routine will be disrupted. I know now, though, so hopefully next weekend won't be so challenging to get through and I can avoid a mini-binge. Managed the gym this morning despite feeling rather bleh about the whole binge and, honestly, feeling a bit ill from it, too. I'm glad I went, though, and I know I'll feel better for it in short order. Here's to progress and learning!
2/04 - This is better. Not perfect but I knew it would take a couple days of diligently following my macros, water, and movement to drop it back down. Gym this morning again and meals planned for the day. Once again, I'm short by quite a bit on carbs and a little on fat. I'm within my buffer for protein so I have very limited wiggle room there to help me get the other 2 macros up. I figured out my binge problem as I faced something similar yesterday - I'm bored and lonely! I realized that if I kept myself thoroughly engaged in something, I wasn't particularly hungry. But when I wasn't fully distracted by tasks, I found myself constantly seeking carbs or sugar. What really made me notice was the fact that 10 minutes after eating a very filling and balanced meal, I was searching my pantry and fridge for something carby and had a moment of "I just ate and was quite satisfied, there's no way I'm hungry 10 minutes later, this is something else" and I forced myself to go sit on the couch and read. Once I was into the book, I was fine. Well, then. The goal, now, is to stay distracted in the evenings once work is over.
2/05 - Another nice drop after behaving myself well yesterday. Next week I really need to meal plan better so I'm not excessively short on carbs but meeting everything else. It's been a struggle to find whole foods and not junk to fill so much of a gap (I'm between 50-60g shy on carbs everyday this week with breakfast. lunch, and dinner logged, today included. Other than snacks for carbs (with a small wiggle room for protein), I'm set for today. Gym was good and all other habits have been good! I've decided that after I finish with Coach, I'm going to drop to maintenance for a couple weeks and then start a small cut.

Sorry to have been remiss about checking in. It’s the busy half of the year with lots of deadlines and I fell apart for minute. But I’m still here, weighing every day but not tracking or “engaging”, and it shows. The one thing I promised myself not to do was quit JGM10D, but I may lapse for a bit. For better or worse I mean to show up, confess my sins and celebrate any progress, along with all of yours.

I gained 0.5 lbs avg last round. Second round in a row I've gained. While they are small gains it's not the direction I want to be going in. My goal is to intentionally move my body in the gym 3 times/week min of 15 min. I will establish the habit of going to the gym and then begin increasing my minimums.

@Skyleen75 :I find barre class to be brutal, all of those tiny little movements. But I love anything where I get to laser focus on form. It’s a good balance to other workouts.
Agree about barre- it's brutal, but the good kind- I always dread going and feel better when I"ve done it!
I’m so envious of you “girls” doing barre classes. I would love to have one to try, The closest I get is putting my foot on the bathroom counter to dry my leg after I shower!

02/06-194.8-(Trend Weight: 192.9)- Well, the oatmeal experiment didn’t work to satisfy the night time snack monster. I even tried a double helping so I’ll scratch that idea, at least for now. I tried soup for dinner hoping the liquid would help keep me satisfied. Nope. Later dinners, late protein, late fiber, extra water, a book, nothing so far is working. Maybe when I’m more in control some of these ideas will work? I’m not going to give up. Sometimes these bad times just seem to pass the same way they mysteriously arrive. I’m waiting it out! I’ll win this staring contest if it kills me!

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin
Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)
JamesClear “New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.”
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
I need to STAY ENGAGED because I’m the DRIVER not the passenger in this life.

Day 2, Sat 87.7, median is 87.6 which is above the last round. I'm running 5 kilometers today so I'll keep my food at the same level. I ate a kilogram of peas yesterday, and my itchiness due to eczema has reduced. Apparently it's due to chlorophyll and peas have a lot of chlorophyll. I'll have another kilogram today.
Day 3, Sun 86.8, median is 87.5 just below last round. The peas have worked, my itchiness has dropped by say 2/3. I'm not sure how often to have them.

@reshii_devi I am grieving a bit this month too. The pretty weather this week has led me to the park to do my walking, but it's also the park that borders a lake that my dad loved to go to. On these nice days, I'd bundle him up and take him and his red hot rod walker to use the paved walking path by the lake. He'd go a bit, then stop on one of the many benches to rest. When I walked there this week without him, it hit hard. I miss him, but I also grieve how hard those last months were for him. Part of me feels like I didn't do enough, even though I did everything I could as it got harder and harder. I know it's just part of the process--the grieving and the guilt. But I can totally relate to you "riding the waves." Also went to order the new travel trailer to replace the one he and I had together that was lost in the WNC floods. I didn't expect that to make me mourn and cry, but it sure did. There's an almost overwhelming sense of sadness somedays. Like you, I'm working hard to stay positive and keep my body moving and my mind busy. I am trying to be thankful for the memories and focus on the good ones, not the hard ones. Hugs to you. Grief is tough.
Your story about walking in the park really hits home @UTMom81 as I went through something similar with my mom. After my younger sister passed, she had a stroke and never fully recovered. No matter how much I tried, I could never bring her back to who she was before. Watching her struggle, knowing I couldn’t fix it, was one of the most difficult experiences in my life. And even now, little things like songs, certain smells and holidays can bring it all rushing back.
That mix of missing them and grieving how hard those final months were is such a heavy thing to carry. And the lingering "Did I do enough?" thought is so painful, even when we know we gave everything we had. I can only imagine how emotional ordering that new travel trailer must have been, but I love that you're focusing on the good memories, even on the tough days. Sometimes, just putting one foot in front of the other is enough. Sending big hugs back to you too ~ @pezhed @musicsax ~ it's good to know we're not alone.🫂💗

Not enough movement and too many cheese and crackers last night are showing up on the scale today. Weight is up and down, but since I've lost inches this week, hoping to see another drop before the round ends. Either way, not going to let the weekend or Superbowl trip me up.

Will make a better effort to keep up with everyone’s posts since so many notifications slip by. Apologies if I’ve missed any responses, friends as I’ve been battling my headspace lately. This month always hits differently with the anniversaries of loved ones I’ve lost. I’m not deep in grief, but I’ve been riding the waves these past few days. For now, I'm just trying to stay focused on moving my body, being mindful about what I eat and speaking/thinking positively. This group is helping with that so thanks everyone for sharing.

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.

🎷 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.

1/31 143.2 (trend 142.7) 9.44 miles walked. My 3 DSs have all started doing Slimming World, I’m going to follow their plan for a couple of weeks to see it that can kick start me into the right path again – anything to help!
