Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 247

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.

Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(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. 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!

1/7 ⚖️130.8lbs 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼✅
I took-off a full day yesterday! 3-hr nap. Yum. Determined for successful round!
🍀Good luck, everyone! 💪🏻

1/8 Yesterday ✅ 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼 ✅macros & cal,🚶‍♀️5.2k, 🏋️‍♀️20 min, 78 total ex min, 🔥404 ex cal, 💗Z2 - 68 min. Had a blast 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼&🚶‍♀️the neighborhood with my DGS.

Mindful when eating so I don’t feel deprived. I do give myself some flexibility.
Macros:
C 0-5%, P 25-30%; F 70–75%
This works for me! ❤️

Today: 🎾& 🏋️‍♀️ meet with personal trainer.

1/9 Yesterday: ✅ 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼 🙌🏻✅macros & 1608cal,🚶‍♀️8.3k, 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼60 min, 158 total ex min, 🔥493 ex cal, 💗Z2 - 68 min.

Played tennis & met with trainer after. Will spare the details — I have a L O N G way to go! 💪🏻
Developed a three week “on my own” plan and will check back to access progress.

Feel good. I’m hoping to stay positive. Tons of 💦.

NSV: 🏋️‍♀️- I DID IT! I actually listened to my Inbody scan, and made an appointment with an expert… Proud of myself for facing facts.

Today: Cold / windy. Will 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼as much as I can @ home without over-doing and a long walk🚶‍♀️.

1/10 Yesterday: ✅macros & 1564 cal,🚶‍♀️8.6k, 68 total ex min, 🔥324 ex cal, 💗Z2 - 45 min.
Another cold, windy day. Lazy, nice 🚶‍♀️in afternoon.

Today: meeting, 🎾, 🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️

I’ve upped daily cal intake to find out what happens… BMR is 1375… thinking 1500-1600 on non-workout days is maintenance . Macros MUST be in check. I’m not really counting calories, but they show up as I log macros… Trying to gain muscle& lose fat simultaneously is a huge challenge - perplexed. Daunted.

PREMIUM FOR YOU?! There was AC brief discussion regarding whether or not to upgrade to MFP premium… I highly recommend it… Customized Goals, Reports, trends, articles, notes. I find huge value if you want to use data to guide your efforts.

There’s also been brief discussion as to “obsessing” over / too much focus on your health journey, specific foods, etc. My thought: What’s more important than becoming who you want to be? Isn’t being mindful important? You have to WANT IT BAD though… 😎 Maybe “obsessing” is a step in the journey that must be taken… to get to the other side? Hmmmm

I guess I’m trying to pump myself for this next step…. I’m no longer obsessing over what to eat or what not to eat. I’m now obsessing over 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️. Hahaha I also think all of us know what’s best for us individually. The challenge is finding the strength, discipline & fortitude to do the hard work! I’m working on multiple ✅s!

FYI: I use the Renpho scale. My BF% and Visceral fat is way off compared to the more accurate InBody scan.=(Worse)

Let’s GO! 🙌🏻💪🏻

1/11 Yesterday: ✅macros & 1803 cal, 🚶‍♀️7.5k, 80 total ex min, 🔥763 ex cal, 💗Z2 - 22min. ✅🏋️‍♀️10 min🤸🏼(with trainer)

I booked an FST (Fascia stretch therapy) with the trainer. Oh my! She stretched me like a noodle… (not really - too tight!) It was amazing! My body is so tight it’s scary. Gave me a good jump start to stretch 🙆‍♀️daily. 🏋️‍♀️Focus on upper body. What a journey…. Good day.

Today: 🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼
Let’s GO! 🙌🏻💪🏻

1/12 Yesterday: ✅macros & 1203 cal, 🚶‍♀️5.3k, 40 total ex min, 🔥225 ex cal, 💗Z2 - 12min. ✅🏋️‍♀️🙆‍♀️

Cleaned house all day, but managed to get in 🏋️‍♀️🙆‍♀️. Was hoping to get to the club, but cleaning took way longer than thought. Was in an “OK” space… Determined not to give up. Need to be “ok” with only “ok”.

Today: 🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼 Awful weather today with front moving in … like everyone else, planning next week for record 🥶 temps. I’ve calendared group exercises for all next week (Need to change my attitude about group exercises because I don’t like them at all - but next week it’s my only option. Looks like no tennis for almost two weeks…. Yuck!)

NSV: Hosted bridge last night… Drank 💦 only. What a WIN!

Have a great weekend all! Affirmations/Repeat:
Plan, be grateful and mindful. Carbs are RAT POISON.
🏋️‍♀️is FUN! Do hard stuff!
YOU ARE 💪🏻!
Commit to yourself!

📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣
Let’s Go!

1/13 Yesterday: ✅macros & 1525 cal, 🚶‍♀️3.3k, 38 total ex min, 🔥234 ex cal, 💗Z2 - 20min. ✅🏋️‍♀️🙆‍♀️ No long walk. Afternoon nap. Glorious.

I actually enjoyed 🏋️‍♀️🙆‍♀️🤸🏼 this morning. What a positive! It’s still a challenge to talk myself into 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼🙆‍♀️. Not easy. It’s mental gymnastics each time…. Will force it again today. I haven’t thought much about the scale… I’m guessing number between 130–132 depending on fluctuations. I’ve been ✅ with macros, 💦 & calories. I feel “even” because I’ve been 💯 on plan. Hoping a little muscle transformation is in progress!😎)

I know it’ll be a VERY long haul to change body composition… Also, reading that on days that I 🔥 fewer than 400 cal, I really need to stick to no more than 1500 cal a day. My metabolism is still SUPER slow. (Slower than any person I know…) That’s why 🏋️‍♀️ is so important for my personal progress.

Today: 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️ & 🚶‍♀️Five mile dedicated walk. 🥶&🌧️ on its way…. Probably 🚫outdoors for most of the week! Prepare!

NSV: Ketosis super strong right now… Full speed ahead.

1/14 Yesterday: ✅🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼 🙆‍♀️ ✅macros & cal 1743, 🚶‍♀️7.8k, 72 total ex min, 🔥435 ex cal, 💗Z2 - 40min.
My structured walk was 2.5 miles not 5 (too short). Really good ST🏋️‍♀️🙆‍♀️ & simultaneously worked on balance. I have to remember the “feeling” that once I get started, it’s not bad. Set-up the workout space at home in preparation for the 🥶 next week.

I ate well today, but I had three full meals (unusual). My BIL spent the night with us last night and we enjoyed a big early breakfast this morning… Stayed w/in macros, but portions a little up. (Lunch & Dinner too) Just felt more “full” than I’m use too on this journey of mine. Don’t like feeling that full-didn’t need to eat three FULL meals. Will remember that yucky feeling! Lets stick with my routine.

1/15 Yesterday: ✅🏋️‍♀️30 min & 🙆‍♀️ 30 min ✅macros & cal , 🚶‍♀️6.4k, 80 total ex min, 🔥 342 ex cal, 💗Z2- 40min.

I believe I’ve developed a daily 🙆‍♀️routine (20-25 min)-I feel great afterwards! I then found several online videos for 🏋️‍♀️upper body/core and lower body/core. I’m pleased to have a routine going into this week. (Never realized how much I crave routines!). Brisk short walk topped it all off.

Today: 🙆‍♀️🎾🚶‍♀️🤸🏼??? Need to see how the day goes @ home with freeze preparation… We Southerners are not used to this weather! 🥶is on its way tonight!

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 1/1/2015. Weight remained @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!

🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs.

8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held 130lbs till 1/1/23.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much! Ive always eaten somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was a huge issue. Started tracking 7/15. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130 determined to…. be in the

The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.

I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to maintain approx. 130lbs and IN SHAPE. Pretty clear that once I reached a goal weight I would then relax/ drift backwards. So glad 145lbs was the max over the last nine years.

I also noticed that as I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2020ish … This is absolutely not true anymore!

While active with 🚶‍♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST routine is absent. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️‍♀️ as my TRUE focus.
