    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…

    Me / Mission/ RND 287 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 @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.

    R287 Commitments TO ME:
    *************************
    I am tracking all of these in “HabitKit”

    🏆 Calories/Macros/Protein
    😇CLEAN 300 cal deficit

    📚 💦💤 7-8hrs 10x

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

    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 quick 30 minute 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!!

    2/13 🚫🏆 because ate a snack around 8:30PM which I never do… Cottage cheese / berries so 🚫IF. Kcals = 1350. Still, Pg = 130 🙌🏻 Another purposeful 🚶‍♀️@5PM to reach +10k. Good hydration. Solid day!Also, I’ve expanded my stretching/mobility/balancing routine… Love it! Today’s nutrition window will be 11am - 2:30PM. (OMAD). Today: 🏋️‍♀️and sauna. Onward!

    2/14 I’m going to test myself again - three days / stay on plan 💯 & 🚫⚖️. Great workout yesterday… Almost two hrs lifting & stretching while streaming tennis - it was heaven. Three walks to total 10K+. Look what I woke up too?! I still can’t stop laughing! This is what I call true love & Support!!!!
    Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Feeling ALL the feels right now!

    2/15 I took a strenuous tennis lesson yesterday - only 🚶‍♀️6k for the day cuzz my afternoon was full. (“Excuse factory”) @UTMom81 — may I 🚶‍♀️ 12k steps today & Sunday to catch up?!?!?!!!! 🤩 i’m going to do that… to claim a soft victory!
    Hubby and I had a wonderful Valentine’s Day celebration - went off nutrition a tad. That little bitty dark chocolate chip put me over 🤣🤣🤣… No guilt. (it was actually two servings of “cauliflower mash” that put me over!) Back today!

    2/16 walked extra (14.5k) to avg out 2/14 over 10.5k for two days. Stopped @ community hospital and did their walking path built with outdoor PT stations. Each of the eight stations were set up for beginner/intermediate/advanced. What a workout! Perfect place to 🏋️‍♀️on the weekends/nice weather. Weekdays = too many cars/traffic/noise.
    Nutrition/macros: stayed within maintenance but not enough protein. Carbs high with cauliflower. (And of course, the associated payback (stomach issues). Back to my routine WOE today… For those who are unaware, I love all vegetables, but my body does NOT. String beans = my only friend. Refrigerator is temptation free again.

    No TMI for several days. My weight is 💯connected to my systems. I’m finally beginning to accept my 1 to 2 pound daily fluctuation and to stop that guessing game of WHY?! Heck, if I have a bad day, I know why! It’s those days that I can’t explain it that deflate me. I have to continue to remind myself that the scale is not the star of my journey.

    The last few weeks I can honestly say I’m returning to “food is fuel“… This is where I need to be: to feel, to believe, to act strong. I do not feel deprived. It’s a radical change in mindset from 18 months ago.It’s loving my body through fuel & movement that brings me the greatest satisfaction and sense of accomplishment. Staying present & filled with gratitude is key.
    Onward!

    Gorgeous 🚶‍♀️5 mi to our beautiful park… Such a joy to spontaneously witness a “river” baptism & pray with their congregation. Ended up listening to praise and worship music the rest of my walk and it was just glorious on a bright,blue clear day!

    2/17- 170.5 - This weekend was full of plans that suddenly get changed to different plans that then morph into even different plans! I did not eat a proper breakfast or lunch on Saturday or Sunday due to this and then dinner was out for a birthday on Saturday and the Man wanted pizza yesterday so we did that. Not exactly ideal but I didn't have any opportunity to plan or adjust (or barely a chance to eat, I'm glad I could grab a protein bar to eat on the go so I had something in my belly!). Back to routine. Everybody is off work for President's Day except me so hopefully they'll go with their ever-changing plans and leave me to my standard work routine without issue. Last week with coach, trying to make it count.

    Previous Day's Comments
    2/10 - I've finally broke into the 170s. I thought I'd never see this weight. I'm feeling rather bloated - I had forgotten to log a couple things and then remembered this morning which put me well over on protein yesterday but carbs and fats were aligned. Saturday was "date night" with BF but it was more of a 'linner' than lunch or dinner which is likely the biggest culprit for the scale weight being so high. I'm back on track today with meals and snacks planned to put me right on track with macros today. I'll pre-plan tomorrow's later this afternoon or evening so I know what I'm eating for the day when I wake up and make things easier on myself in that regards. Busy full week of work and gym every morning. It's overcast and rainy - supposed to storm tomorrow. Hoping to squeeze in walks with the dogs outside every day if if schedules work out for me.
    2/11 - I wasn't quite perfect yesterday on macros but I was pretty dang close and it shows. I woke up this morning feeling really heavy and bloated. After a good workout and getting through the worst of that heaviness/bloating after eating breakfast, I'm feeling better. Not perfect, but I'm glad there's improvement. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow. I went ahead and created a new workout plan for myself to start when coaching ends since Coach allowed me to continue the current plan for the last 3 weeks with her (last week, this week, next week). I also started doing some research into where maintenance should be and what a cut might look like so that I can start planning that out next week to be prepared for when coaching ends (1 week from this coming Sunday). The goal this evening (as well as every evening going forward) is to stay busy/mentally occupied enough to ward off boredom/emotional eating. I think I'm struggling most with it because BF is gone. Even when he was working late nights and didn't get home until just before I was going to bed, I didn't find myself struggling so bad with it. I think I'm more trying to replace his absence with food where on late nights I know he'll be coming home so there's no need to "replace" him if that makes sense. Just some thoughts after still struggling with this the last 2 nights.
    2/12 - Dropping off a bit more which I'm very happy about! I'm really working hard to meet my bulking macros without going overboard in the evenings. I've managed to figure out if I leave myself one snack after dinner (which has been easy since breakfast has been quite filling when combined and perfectly staggered with my coffee) I'm less likely to be emotional about it and can simply enjoy the snack guilt-free since it's already pre-logged. Fortunately this is the last week without BF for awhile so I think I'll be good to go in the future. All meals and snacks logged for today and gym done. Feeling pretty good.
    2/13 - I'm not quite sure. I hit my water goal of 100oz or more, was right on macro goals, and hit my step goal for the day. Bodies are weird. I do feel a bit bloated so there's something I ate that is causing this. Oh well, trusting the process and it'll all work out eventually. Gym this morning went well and food is all planned out for the day. I work tomorrow but I'll need to figure out breakfast, lunch, and dinner to hit my goals and ensure the Man has a good homemade meal to eat when he gets home. I'll have to pre-plan that tonight. Still need to sit down and plan out next week's meals as much as possible so the Man and I can discuss in the evening to get a grocery list together for Saturday morning. Hopefully I'll have some motivation after work today to do so.
    2/14 - Bouncy bouncy. This is okay. I was very diligent about hitting all my goals yesterday. I very nearly missed my water goal but I fortunately realized I had mistracked and was able to get those last 20oz down in a timely manner before bed. Today I've decided that shrimp "alfredo" (the Italian version with only butter and parmigiano reggiano with pasta and a bit of pasta water) sounded delightful. I've logged that and my breakfast already so I know where I stand for lunch, when the time comes. Nothing sounded quite right so I knew I'd have to figure it out when I began to feel a bit hungry. I have my boundaries set and it won't be too hard to fit within them. There is plenty enough room in the macro budget. An afternoon snack may be a bit more challenging to fit in, but I daresay I'll manage, as I have the last few weeks. Gym was good and another week stronger! Only one more week on this workout plan before I change it up with my new plan I have written out. I need to figure out what app will be best for me to track for progression (or rather, to avoid going backwards too awful much). I have tentative dinners for next week planned so just need BF's input on breakfast and lunch staples he's thinking and final approval on dinner ideas. I'll take it! Much better than last minute planning and missing ingredients because I was doing too many things at once
    2/15 - DNP
    2/16 - Yesterday was up due to a heavy dinner. It was within macros but was still heavy. Yesterday was an absolute mess when it came to food. I didn't have a proper breakfast or lunch and dinner was out. There was some drinks involved since some friends came up for the wife's birthday (Monday) and we were out and about. Water was also not ideal. The goal today is to be more sensible with both eating and water intake. No alcohol if we do go out is my aim. Tomorrow marks my last week with coach so I need to make the most of it!

    02/17 177.8 I started to write “DNW” but realized that isn’t going to help me. “WDNL” that stands for “weighed, did not like”.
    I also started to write a completely different post this morning about how hard it is to check in here, with myself when I’m not winning.
    I started to really whine.
    But the truth is because it’s really hard to make progress right now I keep giving myself permission to not try. Some how in my head I think if I really try, give it my all and I don’t make progress it will feel worse.
    If I never really tried then I didn’t fail, the world failed me. I can blame everything in the world but myself.

    I have to actually try. I might fail some days but I have to be able to say I’m trying. I can’t just say “it’s too hard right now”. I need some personal responsibility right now.

    @chapter_3 I needed that booster! Turning on super powers!!!! Thank you.

    @Skyleen75 You conquered the morning!! That is a success, even though it may not feel that way.

    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.
    2/12- 146.6 (66.5 kg) I know I didn't lose 1.1 pounds of fat overnight but nice to see a new low on the scale this morning. I had my biannual rheumatology check up this afternoon and even weighing with clothes on I was still under 150. The doctor remarked on my weight loss and after confirming it was intentional good weight loss was very happy for me. In fact, he had to reduce my medication dose because of it.
    2/13- 146.8 (66.6 kg) Husband's back home tonight. It's a travel heavy month for him. We don't celebrate Valentine's Day, but we did go out tonight and beat the crowds.
    2/14- 146.1 (66.3 kg) Within calories today. I'm starting to learn I need to eat smaller portions of heavy dinners. Calorie wise, the lasagna I had slotted into my goals nicely, but similar to my burger a couple weeks ago, my stomach feels uncomfortably full after the fact. Also, I woke up feeling ike I have a minor cold, so my energy is sapped. Good excuse to sleep in tomorrow.
    2/15- 145.8 (66.1) I had the excuse to sleep in, but woke up when my husband did at 6 AM and couldn't fall back asleep. I did lay in bed until 8 though and did absolutely nothing productive today, which is kind of nice.
    2/16- 146.1 (66.3 kg) Where did the weekend go?
    2/17- 145.8 (66.1 kg) It's shaping up to be another busy week at work. I did some stress eating at work today and didn't log until after the fact. What I guessed was 600 calories for lunch and snacks was actually 800. But I kept it pretty close to goal with dinner. I guess it's a good reminder to take the time to log as I go.

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 287(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 (yet 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 139s. I need to be diligent as only 3-5 days per round staying on the wagon 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 am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life.

    2/9 141.8 (trend 142.2) 8.66 miles walked. 2.8 pounds lost this round which sounds good, BUT, last round I gained 3, still not back to end of round 284 weight; so no congrats. due! Just got to keep going. At least I can say that I have had 10 solid days this round, need to do the same again next. I do feel that SW allows me way too many carbs, so I’m going to restrict these next round.
