    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    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.

    2/20 At sea. Up on Lido having coffee. Going to “Sea Day Brunch” this morning. It was not great.
    2/21 Horrible headache. Had coffee and went back to the cabin because my headache wasn’t better. Barely got into the bathroom before I lost the coffee
    2/22 Ensenada
    2/23 HOME! Carl has caught a cold and been asleep since he walked in the door! My Garmin with a 2 month old battery died so I have no tracked steps since we left on 2/8!
    2/24 139.0 Very pleased with this after a 2 week cruise. Only a 1.5# gain. I had a cocktail every night which I know isn’t great for the body but you know they aren’t loaded with alcohol. Thanks to salad it was easy to get veg and Guy’s Burgers (protein)- no bun, no fries. The buffet food was just odd and the desserts were pretty tasteless and many were very dry. DH has a cold and has been asleep almost constantly since we walked into the house. Thankfully DD#2 picked us up at the airport and got the luggage into the house. (Her DH is dealing with a kidney stone and having rotator cuff surgery on Friday!)
    2/25 138.0 DH wanted In-n-Out. The only thing he has eaten in 2 days.

    2/25: The past couple of weeks have been challenging with family and employment issues, plus the additional emotional and physical exhaustion of helping a cranky, recovering relative after double knee surgery. My patience is being tested big time, and honestly, I’ve been too drained to log much, check in with any of my weight loss groups, or even get any decent sleep.

    That said, feeling pretty good knowing I’ve been hitting my RND goals without even thinking about it ~ yeah to small wins, lol! Meeting a trainer to start a new strength plan this afternoon, and really looking forward to a long swim, whirlpool and sauna time afterwards for some much-needed water therapy today. Hoping to be mentally back in the groove by the end of this round and that you’re all doing well!

    207.4 Ending weight RND 287

    60+ Female using trend weight

    I gained 1.6 lbs avg associated with an unexpected surgery where I had to stop exercising. The sad thing was that I also stopped tracking for the most part. So it was a wasted round. Well I guess I learned that just because I couldn't exercise didn't mean I couldn't track. That was on me. So now I'm back at it. Recommitted. My goal this week is "go to the gym three times" this week.

    🐸I will keep the analogy of boiling frog in my head🐸

    2/25 - 167.9 - Wowza. Due to a late work day, I missed one of my snacks so I was under carbs by 18g. There's no buffer offered so I'm maintaining a +/- 10g buffer from coaching. I'm battling a bit of a loss of appetite with feeling under the weather. Unfortunately today I'm feeling a bit worse, and if BF's experience is telling, the next 2-3 days will get increasingly worse. Ick. I've decided, regardless of how I'm feeling, I'm taking this week as a deload at the gym and will re-evaluate how I'm feeling whether I can resume Monday next week. I'm on track today, just need a couple small snacks. Thinking a protein shake for both protein and additional water intake and an apple to hit carbs. I'm nearly to my upper buffer limit on fat already so I think these snacks will be sufficient to get me to hit goals.

    2/20 - Wow, I didn't realize I had missed two days of checking in! Yesterday was very hectic with the cold snap that blew in. I worked from the living room with a fire going and didn't bring my personal computer with to check in which is challenging - going from 3 large screens to one tiny laptop. Today, as much as I'd love to have a fire going, I have a dental appointment this afternoon, right after lunch, and I won't dare leave a fire going, or even hot coals, while going 45 minutes away. Despite my alarm jolting me from a very realistic dream and knowing that it is miserably cold and I want nothing more than to just stay in bed cuddled up with the pups, I dragged myself to the gym. It was a good workout overall. One more of Coach's workouts and I'm done! On to my own program next week. I need to put my workout in one of the apps I'm trialing so I can keep track of it since it's currently only written down on a sheet of paper. I also need to plan out one more dinner for next week so I can finish off my grocery list for tomorrow morning. I'm also trying out an app recommended by one of the gym's trainers for macro tracking (called MacroFactor) and it will adjust calories and macros based on inputs. I've synced it so my weight gets automatically tracked and I'm trying different configurations to see if I can get my steps to sync as well. Technology is hard sometimes. Here's to hoping this works!
    2/21 - I don't know if I'm simply dropping bloat/water weight or if my body has caught up and what was a 10% bulk is now a maintenance, if not a slight deficit. This is okay, though, since I was planning to drop into a maintenance on Monday so I could then begin a cut so it feels like I'm simply ahead of the game. Today I've only tracked using my new MacroFactor app to get used to it. I'm well over on carbs already, though I suppose I could adjust my dinner to account for that. I need more fat and protein - a lot more protein. I may give in and make a protein shake since I'm also behind on my water intake and that will knock out two concerns in one solution. Feeling good. I still need to input my new workout plan into an app for next week so I'm not trying to remember everything or losing my paper (and can track weights/reps for future reference). I'll do that this weekend at some point. Likely later since BF is going to have a late night since he's about 4 hours away and has an interview between 3-5 tonight (meaning he won't leave until likely closer to 6 maybe 7 after documenting). I'll probably be in bed before he gets home unless things change. Especially as there's a potential for ice tonight starting after about 5pm between where he is and our house so he'll be having to take things slow and careful.
    2/22 - We had date night last night. It was more of a late lunch/early dinner since the place we went to didn't open until 3. It's our favorite restaurant that closed a couple years ago and has since built their own building (rather than rent) and reopened the end of January. We've been wanting to go but life has been so hectic, especially with BF's travel. I knew I'd be up today and that's okay. I've gone ahead and set my goal on my MacroFactor app to losing 0.5lb/week and it'll adjust and improve it's guidance week to week. It has me at 1875 calories which is a steep drop off, but it wanted me to drop down to 1675 calories and losing 0.8lb/week. I'd rather ease in if I can. I still need to input my workouts into an app which I'll do once I post this, so I'm prepared for tomorrow morning. Overall, I'm feeling good. Behind on water today but focused on catching up!
    2/23 - Last minute dinner and I definitely ate too much. I don't know if I simply ate too much or if something I ate didn't agree with me since I woke up with the full intention to go to the gym and after drinking my nuun (as I do every single gym morning) I felt so nauseous and lightheaded so I passed out on the couch with the dogs to not disturb BF. I do feel a bit better and I was able to eat some very plain eggs for some kind of sustenance so I'm glad. Hopefully it'll pass soon.

    Hi again, I'm Amanda! 5'2" 40F in Virginia.

    RSW: 124.8
    RGW: 123.8

    Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day)
    🏃🏻‍♀️ Run at least 20 miles
    🏋🏻‍♀️ Strength train 5/10 days

    Past days' monologues:
    2/20 - 124.8 🏃🏻‍♀️ (6.2 miles) 🏋🏻‍♀️ Can't believe this round is going to take us into March! I'm hoping to have a more consistent round this time. My oldest has a snow day again, which I can't really understand since it stopped snowing at 4pm yesterday. I guess we just don't have great infrastructure in place around here to get to the far reaches of the county. We went grocery shopping this morning for a few planned meals and my youngest's birthday party meatball subs for Saturday so I feel prepared for the next few days. DS has a friend over now so he should be entertained enough for me to squeeze an interval run on the treadmill in. We're having our bathroom remodeled so it's a terrible time to have kids home nearly every day! Happy to not see any snow in the 10-day forecast at the moment. We really need to get back into our routine.

    2/21 - 123.0. Nice whoosh closer to where I briefly have been. Yesterday I went to get on the treadmill and my body did not want to do it. I tried to take the dogs for a walk and got too cold and turned around. Found out today I have strep throat again! I just had it in December. Now I'm doing 2 weeks of antibiotics instead of 10 days, and I'll go back March 11 for a throat culture to make sure nothing lingers. This winter is just relentless with the illnesses.

    I read the first bit of Atomic Habits by James Clear last night and I thought of this group a lot. I know this book has been out for a number of years but for whatever reason I picked it up last night. He focuses on the idea that rather than choosing how you want to be (ex. at a specific goal weight, pants size, etc.), you should be choosing WHO you want to be (a fit and/or healthy person). He used an example of someone who channeled what they thought a person at an optimal weight would do. At each decision she made, she asked herself, "what would a healthy person do?" It's about minor improvement each day, not suddenly waking up and being a fit/healthy person. I thought it was a nice reminder and I'd share it here. I can tell from all of our non-number goals in this group that we're already doing this to some extent - we know we need to drink our water, work out, etc., to achieve the end goal, but it might be simpler to frame it as our future selves rather than our future state.



    2/22 - 123.0 🏃🏻‍♀️ (1.7 miles) 🏋🏻‍♀️ The scale reflects pretty much what happened yesterday. I went slightly overboard with sweets but probably not far above maintenance. Love when the scale and I are in agreement! DH loves pancakes and bacon to kick off the weekend so I’m not off to an amazing start, but I’m planning on lifting and going on kind of a long run so I think I’ll be okay. We canceled DS’s family party today due to my strep throat, so at least I won’t have the brownies I’d planned to bake!

    2/24 - 123.8. Yesterday was a rest day. I did end up doing some yard work, but that's all as far as activity goes. Not off to a great start today, but I'm about to head out for an interval run. Just wanted to quickly check in for accountability!

    2/20 - 124.8 🏃🏻‍♀️ (6.2 miles) 🏋🏻‍♀️
    2/21 - 123.0 🏃🏻‍♀️ (1.7 miles) 🏋🏻‍♀️
    2/23 - 124.2 🏃🏻‍♀️ (4 miles) 🏋🏻‍♀️
    2/24 - 123.8

    2/25 - 123.8 🏃🏻‍♀️ (2.8 miles). Running late posting today. I keep doing small bits of tasks today and accomplishing nothing. Literally started cleaning the refrigerator and pulled out and wiped down one single shelf. I'm wanting to take the dogs out for a decent walk but also strength train today and also prep a good dinner for the family which is going to require a grocery store trip, and the clock keeps ticking. Yeesh, better get going!

    02/24-195.4-(Trend Weight: 195.4)- I was finally able to take my Lasix yesterday as I was home for most of the day. That explains the extra raise in weight the days before and the drop in weight showing today. It’s so hard to gauge what is really happening when you retain fluids in heart problems and require the script. No TMI today or this may have been an even bigger drop. But when, my friends, when when when will I actually lose some real fat and make some real progress? It’s an unseasonally warm day today in Northern Michigan. I expect that some of the snow will melt which is great. The roofs can’t take much more without collapsing! The professional roof shovelers have been keeping pretty busy lately!

    02/25-195.8-(Trend Weight: 195.6)-Right back to starting weight. Back to the drawing board, as they say. I forgot to take my Lasix yesterday so this is likely fluid. Meals were good but, snacks so-so but I came in under calorie. I can do better. I’ll be traveling tomorrow for groceries and general shopping. Dinner will be out but I will try to make smart choices. I will definitely bring home all healthy foods that fit within my plan. I think I will shop for less snacks as they are too tempting, even when low calorie or low carb. I need snacks that don’t taste sweet because that seems to just be a trigger for a sugar or substitute sugar binge. I need to STOP needing sweetness at night! I’m not a fruit eater, but even if I were I know the sweetness would trigger me right now. I need to go back to ½ to 1 oz of unsalted nuts or some cubed block cheese. Or perhaps some occasional skinnygirl popcorn. I did much better when I stuck to those. T-Minus 0 lbs with 10 pounds to go for my May birthday goal. Welcome back QuiltingJaine.

    @pezhead - I'm totally a one-shelf-at-a-time refrigerator cleaner. You cleaned a shelf. Take a celebratory deep breath. Pat yourself on the back!

    Repeat weekly for clean fridge with no drama. :)
