    2/11: Surprisingly, no real damage from Super Bowl with DFs, and yesterday was tough because of the snacking options at DD's house and then at home. I came close to a stress-release binge, but took a deep breath, had a cup of tea and some grapes.

    I realize I do better with a goal, so the date is my birthday, one month from today. Would love to be close to last summer's numbers by then, but this isn't about losing and then getting to eat more junk, it's about making better choices every day better. So if my body is battling the loss, I'll still stick to the plan.

    Big reminder to self: don't graze on emotions.

    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 @128xlbs 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.

    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… !
    14. I now love to read several times a week on habit formation, healthy aging, nutrition and movement.

    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.

    2/9 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!

    2/10 129.8 My personal goal is to FINISH my daily plan. Last round, I slacked (not nutrition🏆) but in completing my daily movement. This round, for 10 days, I WILL: 🚶‍♀️10k 💓60 min🏋️‍♀️25min (5x)! (And of course, nutrition)!
    While I do stretch every day, I am also implementing mobility, flexibility, balance… I’ve also implemented a daily (morning) six minute lymphatic massage as part of my daily “stretching” routine. It’s easy to do and has become another daily habit!

    Personally, I find that when I start the day with “self-care movement” and prayer, maintaining nutrition follows! Habits are “blocks” - can tell I’m building mine! (57 rounds in!)
    Good luck to everyone this round! #FINSH

    OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016.) I was actually at 250 in 2011 or so…
    OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
    Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205


    Simple Goals for this round with the hope that they turn into habits:

    1. Log my food daily; try to eat cleaner and work on portion control.
    2. Daily exercise; at least some movement.
    3. Be mindful, moment by moment.

    Finally, back home where I can develop some sort of rhythm in my physical, mental and spiritual life. It’s hard for me when I am away from home.

    The preceding message was brought to you by “Jeff’s Excuse Factory.” The real truth is that if I had developed a rhythm before leaving home, I could have maintained it through the oddball circumstances. I want to shut down the excuse factory now. It starts by recording that ridiculous number above for all to see. I am embarrassed.





    1/20/25 : 229.5 (grocery store lobby scale in Florida)
    SW a day before.


    2/11: 232.4
    This little bump down from yesterday is an indication that the damage is real, and the struggle will not be easy. I was expecting one of my patented water weight whooshes for an easy win. Nope. I can’t expect results after one day of discipline in the past seven weeks.

    I am in the right place. My two inspirations right now are this group and tight-fitting clothes. Oh, and the mirror.

    Yesterday I was a good boy, but here is the reality. At least twice I found myself standing in front of an open refrigerator without even knowing how I got there. Similar experience with the pantry door. It’s a habit that my body does on autopilot. I will break it.

    I will get out and be more active today. I spent most of yesterday sorting mail and paying bills for my parents.

    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…

    But think I’ll take a couple days off from weighing just to reset my head…

    @judefit. I am SO IMPRESSED with your previous rounds spoiler. That steady progress was phenomenal. I am learning to not look for the "leaps and bounds" as they usually don't last. It's those small changes that brings about that steady progress! Thanks for sharing this. It inspired me today, especially when I see that travel and holidays never set you back more than you could immediately mend. I hope my message will help "reset your head". You definitely are becoming my personal hero!

    Day/Weight/Comment
    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 195.7

    02/10-195.8-(Trend Weight: 193.7)- It was a hectic day yesterday. I didn’t plan meals properly and they were awkwardly spaced and a bit topsy-turvy. Overboard on snacks again too. Super Bowl / Puppy Bowl mentality. Today is another day, another attempt. Fingers crossed. My birthday is May 10th and I decided this morning that my first mini-goal is to lose a full 10 pounds between now and then. That would put me firmly in the 180’s and on much better footing health-wise. I would still be 30 to 40 pounds away from my ultimate goal, but those numbers sound so much more do-able. Am I reaching for the stars? I dunno, but stretching is good for you, right?

    02/11-194.8-(Trend Weight: 193.7)- Progress. It is deserved but not really Well Deserved. I continue to battle the sugar cravings and usually give in. However, meals were spot on.

    Well, I am also stuck on the exact same weight for the last 3 days! I double checked, but the scale held fast to this number. Won’t I be delightfully surprised when it takes a wonderful drop in the right direction… at least that is my hope!

    @Slimmersixties I love the sign inside the fridge! It would definitely work better than one just hanging on the outside of the door!😜

    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 287: 147.9 (67.1 kg)

    2/10- 147.5 (66.9 kg) I feel like I'm reaching the point in my journey where the paper towel effect is really starting to set in. Sometimes I slip into being discouraged about how long it's taken me to get here, versus celebrating how far I've come.
    2/11- 147.7 (67 kg)- We had the sirloin we picked up at Costco during the Superbowl for dinner last night. Tonight, Sister Act popped up as a suggested watch. Haven't seen it in years, so I'm settled in for a night of nostalgia.

    @Slimmersixties I suppose I did sound down on myself. What I meant was that I sometimes have these negative self-talk moments pop into my head but I've gotten better at pausing, reframing and celebrating the positives.

    ************************

    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.

    #helpfulhabits #agingyounger

    📣BHAG Restated: My FIRST BHAG was to hit 128xlbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range @128xlbs 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.

    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… !
    14. I now love to read several times a week on habit formation, healthy aging, nutrition and movement.

    ****************

    2/10 129.8 My personal goal is to FINISH my daily plan. Last round, I slacked (not nutrition🏆) but in completing my daily movement. This round, for 10 days, I WILL: 🚶‍♀️10k 💓60 min🏋️‍♀️25min (5x)! (And of course, nutrition)!
    While I do stretch every day, I am also implementing mobility, flexibility, balance… I’ve also implemented a daily (morning) six minute lymphatic massage as part of my daily “stretching” routine. It’s easy to do and has become another daily habit!

    Personally, I find that when I start the day with “self-care movement” and prayer, maintaining nutrition follows! Habits are “blocks” - can tell I’m building mine! (57 rounds in!)
    Good luck to everyone this round! #FINSH

    2/11. DNW Testing….Testing… Testing.
    Near perfect day yesterday. Opting to 🏋️‍♀️today with DGS. Finished 10k🚶‍♀️💓by walking 2 mi right before dinner - purposely getting it done!

    2/12 There goes that scale again, but it’s not owning my emotions this morning so I’m in a solid mental place. ✅ nutrition, kcal deficit, macros, movement. All systems go. Enjoyed a competitive tennis match yesterday. We didn’t pull out the W but we played some great tennis & had a blast. Even though I THINK I hydrate well on Tennis days, I still tend to drink not quite enough & dehydrate. It’s actually rarely quite enough on days similar to yesterday so I have to focus on hydration. Again, I didn’t quite 🚶‍♀️10k steps by 5PM so jumped out for a purposeful quick walk to reach goal … 11k… ✅
    DGS, DH and I enjoyed a group /family 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️to top off the evening. Perfect day. Wide awake @ 3AM (yuck). But will make lemonade. Onward!!

    Tue 11 62.1. Trend ⬇️. Same weight 3 days in a row but at least it’s not a gain. Trend is now ahead of the scale.

    Round 287
    Feb 10 - 19, 2025

    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!

    Day/Weight/Comment

    2/10- 137.8 Yesterday, when I pre-track/pre-plan I make very different food choices. Yesterday, I actually ate one of those apples I purchased roughly 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I did get off track last night, and instead of eating my 150 super bowl popcorn, I ate 3 ounces of leftover cocktail party cheese…. This morning, I also managed to observe something that hopefully will motivate me. In my spoiler are my starting weights of every JGMTD rounds, two years ago on 2/10/23, I weighed 142.4, but in May that same year, I was between 125 and 128. If I can accomplish that, I will be thrilled. NOW, to start using my gym membership I purchased one month ago.

    2/11- 138.2 so the good and the bad from yesterday. I did my 3 laps ( 5 miles), but did not pre-track and ate very stupidly. The only dietary good news was that when I ironically became hungry at 10 PM, I did not eat. That hunger made me hope there would be no consequences for my earlier choices.

    Going out to dinner tonight. I know the restaurant, and can view the menu. I need to pre-track this day.

    2/12- 137.8 so yesterday went pretty well. I did plan and track, then the restaurant became a little complicated. We were being taken out as a “thank you” by condo neighbors and it was the first time they initiated socially. All but me, wanted us to have appetizers for the table. I did feel I should be polite, so I had one of each. I then cleverly, adjusted down my planned “entrée” to just a tuna tataki appetizer. It came covered in heaps of an Asian sauce. I did also do three laps in the morning. Still not braved the gym.

    @CamandJarvis Nobody seems to pay more attention to their plan than you. Admirable. Would you be willing to explain more about your goal? You may have already done so but I missed it. (bulking, cutting, strengthening, etc.) Will you be entering a competition or is it more for personal satisfaction?

    (or tell me it is none of my beeswax) :)
