F, 60, SW-187, Sept.’14
UGW- 130
RGW:135

Thank you @quiltingjaine 🌸

5/31 RTW-Yesterday was a free for all after traveling home from my uncles cabin. Back on the wagon today.
6/1-140-Still feeling the repercussions of the road trip and unnecessary carbs. Today will be cooler, so we won’t be stuck in the house.
6/2-140- Made cinnamon rolls to take and ate one while I was there. Off to PB this morning and a fundraiser dinner tonight. No bread today.
6/3-DNW-Today, today I will be back on the wagon. Yoga this morning, horse, yard work and some quilting when it gets hot….
6/4-140-PB this morning and hope to stay out of the snacks.
6/5-141-Went to lunch and had the burger in a salad but did have a few French fries. I’ll get back to PB and my green, protein packed smoothie today.
6/6-141-Off to Pickleball (PB) and need to bring my green smoothie with me so I don’t walk in the house and eat everything in sight. It’s cooled off a bit, so yard work and horse.
6/7-141-Yard work this morning then to a birthday party at a tap house with a taco truck. I am having a smoothie before I leave and will drink water only and leave early. Beer and a taco wagon sounds like a disaster for sure.
6/8-DNW-

6/9-143-Snacks that held on yesterday. Today is a new day and I’m back on the wagon.

Comments pertain to previous day

****

Rnd 298 SW 133.0    AW 132.6

5/31  133.0  83 days until DGS’s wedding. Of course I am now wishing I had bought the dress that wasn’t my favorite because that was the one DH “LOVED.” My initial comment was “I don’t love this one.” I may have to go back and see if it’s still there. I absolutely HATE buying clothes!

6/1   133.0  I went back and bought the dress. 

6/2  132.5 Great Greek yesterday, one chicken skewer and small salad, 1T natural PB in the late afternoon.

6/3  133.0  No explanation for uptick. I made Crack Chicken Casserole for dinner and ate 1 serving of 4. We love leftovers!

6/4  132.0 We had a short session at the gym yesterday morning but at least WE WENT! Carl took blind friend to lunch. I ate the last portion of the casserole plus, later, 3 chunks of chicken from Great Great w/tzatziki. Today a new challenge a different restaurant that’s only been open for about a month or so, called the Lazy Dog.

6/5  132.5  Great cheeseburger with some green chilies, onion and guac and great fries - I ate too many🤷‍♀️- they were crispy, just as I asked. 

6/6  132.5 I’m  okay with being “stuck” here. I hardly ate yesterday. No TMI X 3 - I ran out of prunes (don’t groan, I have always loved them) and forgot to pick up more. 

6/7  132.0  This encourages me! We went to the gym yesterday morning. I’m not doing an extreme workout. Treadmill, two hip machines and the row. I increased the weight and reps on each, no extremes. I have osteoporosis and don’t want anything to break! I went to bed at 1 AM and woke at 6:25.  

6/8  132.5  Going to have coffee with the neighbor ladies in an hour then to DD#2 to meet with my quilty girls to work on our challenge project.  10 weeks to wedding of DGS#1. Would love to be down 10# by then. There!! I have put it out into the universe!!

6/9  133.0  I had a light margarita after I got home after nearly having a head-on collision on the curvy 2 lane road coming home. Small car passing a pickup on a curve in a no passing zone!

6/07 - 168.7

6/08 - DNW

6/09 - 168.1 - I'm content to end on this note, especially after the weekend. I didn't hit macros or calories Saturday - I didn't even try to track since everything was a bit haywire/last minute/unexpected despite my best efforts. Sunday I didn't hit macros but I did my best to stay mindful and was able to stay within 100calories of my goal so still in deficit. Probably some dehydration from being in the sun for 5 hours. It was nearly 100F (38C) and very little shade. No matter how much water I drank, I knew I'd end up dehydrated. I'm ahead of schedule on water intake today and food is all planned out so hoping I don't see too big of an uptick on the scale tomorrow.

06/07-190.4 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 192.7)

06/08-192.4 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 1917) Well, there’s my typical couple of pound gain after travel/restaurant/sitting. Hopefully it won’t take more than a couple of days to come back off. The movie Lilo & Stitch was really good. I think most all adults and children alike would enjoy it. I stayed away from the drinks and snacks at the theater but not away from the dessert table at Golden Corral. My bad.

🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️06/09-191.0 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 191.5) 2 pounds down this round and trend weight continues to slowly catch up. On to the next round with high hopes!

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Another Opportunity to Stay True to Oneself MFP Friends 🤩

I've been fairly awful lately for many reasons. Of course I know better, blah blah & yak yak etc...

We always do. Last round closed 2.6 lbs up and 20lbs overweight.

Nearly everyone can recite what's healthy. Performance is more complex.

I'm anticipating a 😈Hellish😈 two weeks. To make it through, my goals are simple:

Show Up - 10 of 10 posts

Weigh daily

Post body composition twice

Rnd 298 SW 159.6 lbs

5/31 - 156.6lbs

My day was so lazy that laziness itself would ask what's your problem if this were possible. No further comment. 😉

6/1 - 156.2 lbs

Tanita Scale: fat 17.8%/ water 60.0%/ lean calc 22.2%

Not yet respectable but I'm doing better!

6/2 - 156.6 lbs

I'm still a hot mess but I keep trying.

6/3 - 155.6 lbs

Body composition numbers are off between this week and last. I'm sure it's because I did not measure well and/ or average. I'm uncertain if either were done well.

This is not important right now. Until my macros and my strength training routines are on back on schedule, accuracy is less meaningful.

Today I'm benefiting by documenting recent muscle loss. The need to gain muscle is undeniable. Without dense muscle I risk becoming frail. It's also proof that heavy physical activity is not the same as my targeted exercise cycle.

Tanita scale: 22.5% fat / 55.7% water / 22.8% lean calculation / Category - Overweight

YMCA calculation: Body fat 28% / Fat mass 44 lbs / Lean mass 112 lbs / Body Fat Category - Acceptable

DoD calculation: Body fat 33.0% (max 36%) / Body fat in weight 51.4 lbs / Lean body weight 104.6 lbs / Category - under maximum (I use the under forty guidelines for DoD. My goal is to be fit rather than "fit for my age". )

6/4 - 156.4 lbs

Tanita scale: Fat 22.3% / Water 55.0% / Lean calc 22.7% Waking is the best time to get on the scale until I'm back at my "goal weight". Mid day fluctuations aren't informative right now. However, it's more important to weigh daily. When I skip things go haywire.

6/5 - 157.8 lbs

Tanita scale: Fat 23.1% / Water 54.3% / Lean calc22.6% Over ate yesterday. Bananas always show on the scale with immediate effect.

6/6 - 154.8 lbs

Tanita scale: Fat 22.7% / Water 54.5% / Lean calc 23.8% No comments today & no time for browsing yet. Wishing everyone well. 🙂

6/7 - 154.6 lbs

Ditto yesterday, mostly. I'm so 😩 tired. It's been a decent day in general. I had a reasonable dessert and did well on protein. What I really need is energy and ambition. A maid, gardener and personal assistant would be even more helpful.

6/8 - 154.0 lbs

Overnight I had a couple more desserts and dessert for breakfast. Poor sleep habits really can lead to over eating.

Today is for cutting back. This will be a week of eating light in advance of an upcoming food frenzy. I should have began last week but I lost track of time.

Planning ahead for holidays, vacations, and special occasions has helped me keep the pounds off long term. Unfortunately, I have this ten to twenty pound fluctuation every few years.

Not random.

No mystery.

I get sloppy with my routine and let go of the good habits. Here I am, living it again. 🥴

6/9 - 153.4

I've barely glimpsed this round. Loads going on over the next few weeks. I'm busy trying to catch up.

Next round will be the same. As soon as I can I'll do my best to give back the support I value from everyone. 🤗

Down 6.2 lbs of water weight and I've posted 9 out of 10 days. I'm back to the "just show up" phase.

Body fat composition:

Tanita scale: Fat 26.0% / Water 52.1% / Lean calculation 21.9% /Category - Overweight

YMCA calculation: Body fat 28% / Fat mass 43 lbs / Lean mass 110 lbs / Body Fat Category - Acceptable

DoD calculation: Body fat 33.6% / Body fat in weight 51.4 lbs / Lean body weight 101.6 lbs / Category - under maximum
