3/12 175.9 I'm glad to see a drop, but really I've only lost a pound since March 1st. Hopefully since I'm trying to do better with sticking with my goals it will continue to go down.

@Sweetzyd I hear ya Crystal! I've been regaining and losing the same 3-4 pounds for a month! 🤪 Right now though I'm determined not to gain another # over another weekend ... for at least a few more weeks, lol

@_JeffreyD_ Oh, my gosh! That had to be so frightening! I have lost my parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts....I have four people left in my family that I actually know. So, I can imagine the panic and sudden despair. You must have been so relieved to learn that he was okay.

@deepwoodslady - I understand sudden shock of a weight gain. But since you were eating out for two meals, it honestly could be caused by some excess water from more sodium.

It's for sure a struggle, and frustrating at times! Helps to be able to associate with others who understand though ❤️

@quiltingjaine sounds like it’s a long cruise! Where are you going? I know I probably just missed that info. Hope you enjoy every minute!!!

@LunasPaigeLily you are doing great! Way to go!!

@_JeffreyD_ I am sorry you had to go through that. It’s no fun to hear those words. Glad all is well.

3/7- 165.3 (75 kg) Starting with a whoosh. I feel like this accountability challenge is really helping me. I can't believe this is the start of my 7th already.
3/8- 165.7 200 calories over goal today but I was about 200 under yesterday.
3/9- 165.5 With 3 weights in the 165s, I'm hoping to see under 165 soon. My pants are fitting looser and my face is starting to slim down a little.
3/10- 165.2 Daylight Saving sucks. Woke up tired and couldn't fall asleep until midnight.
3/11- 165.7 Went to a restaurant, didn't log as I went, and ended up 600 calories over goal. Tomorrow is a new day to make better choices. I definitely need to log as I go.
3/12- 165.3 Back on track. We were given pizza at work today and I kept it to one slice. Well within my goal today.

The scale is getting cranky with me lately… but that is to be expected since I only have about 5 pounds to my goal weight. However, the sun is out today, which means more and more outside time on my horizon. I started this challenge out with a gorgeous hike!

🎷 65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 253 (my 183rd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going, so grateful.
Goals for this round; to lose! Scale still being erratic, obviously reflects rate of consistency (or not!) with walking mileage as well as food. Must concentrate on consistency, really want to get back. And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
Good luck everyone for a successful round.

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.

Round 253 Posts
This is my posting format….

Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
/ Logged Food - yesterday; Exercise – yesterday / Comment

/food logged; group exercise; 66 oz water/ I will take this scale-reading and run. Now to keep my head straight today. I often have a mindset that since my weight took a little dive, it won’t hurt to indulge a little. DOH! I see that today’s Rotary Club lunch is stir-fryed something-or-other with egg rolls. A good test of my self control.

Our Rotary lunches are prepared by a local “resource center” where adult people with developmental disabilities spend their day on various activities. One of their units is a catering business and they do a FANTASTIC job. I love that our club supports this business. The food is always really good and made with fresh ingredients. There is always a good green salad and fruit option on the buffet if you want to avoid or supplement the main course for some reason. Trust me, the only reason I would avoid the main course is because it is high in carbs or calories. Or, maybe the homemade dessert looks like a suitable alternative that day.

3/08: 222.6
/Logged every bite & sniff; walked; drank 78 oz. water/
If I can keep this rolling it may be a productive round. Today begins the weekend which is my kryptonite. It’s a metaphor folks, I am not superman.

An NSV these last couple days… my clothes fit a little better, by a factor greater than the small amount of weight I have lost. I feel much better in my leotard and cape… uh I mean my jeans and sweatshirt.

Half my weight in ounces of water is 111. That is a lot of water. About 3.3 fills of my one-liter bottle. I need to start early and budget some bathroom time for the day.

Up, up and away.

3/09: 223.8
/logged; floor exercise; 98 oz. water/
I can’t expect to lose every day. I can’t forget my yoyo tendencies. This reading is also 4.2# less than ten days ago so there’s that. Keeping it positive.

Yesterday’s food was under budget, but maybe a few too many cookies. DW did a little baking yesterday to share with friends (and me.) And a colleague took me to lunch yesterday. Smoked meatloaf sandwich and homemade potato chips. Didn’t eat the bun, but the chips were annihilated.

Lots of water in my life yesterday. Water in. Water out.

3/10: 223.3
/logged it; exercised it; drank it, 99 oz./
Not much to say today. Other than, every basketball team I give two hoots about yesterday lost.

Oh, and I am still under the starting weight for this round.

3/11: 223.8
/food all accounted for; yoga and floor exercise; 86 oz. water/
I think this micro-bump up was due to salt intake. I had an instant Vietnamese Pho soup bowl. One of those ramen-like soups where you just add hot water. Ton’s of salt and other bad ingredients with long names. (no lectures needed… I know) I love getting Pho (pronounced Fuh) at Vietnamese restaurants. I wonder what additives they use in restaurants.

/food logged; exercised; 66 oz. water/
My self control has been good this round. I may have had a breakthrough regarding mindless snacking. I still find myself standing in front of an open fridge, wondering how I got there, like it was an alien abduction. But, I am finding the will-power to step away and grab a glass of water instead. Working on portion size at meals too.

Side story. My dad is in a nursing home right now and I went in to visit him yesterday morning. As I walked by the main nurse’s office, one of them came out and said, “I am sorry for your loss,” and hugged me. The head nurse then followed suit. I asked, “….is there something I should know about?” They were surprised I didn’t know. After a few seconds, seemed like minutes, they put two and two together and determined that I am the son of John X, not the son of John Y who had passed away the night before. Total brain spaz on their part, started by the first nurse then the head nurse got washed out with the tide. No hard feelings, I love them both. 😊

For a brief moment I experienced what it feels like to hear that one of my parents died.

Starting weight on day before this round.

/logged; exercised; watered 66 oz)
Surprised by this little bump up. I must have mis-logged something in the past day or two. I rarely get a measuring cup out and never get a scale out to check my food quantities. I depend on my accu-eye to make those estimates. I guess I need to check myself now and then. TMI may be playing a part as well.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

3/13: my plateaus and bounces are familiar now. I use my scale at home every day and check it at the gym once a week for an accuracy check. Weighing and logging are my biggest tools- they keeps me conscious during the day even when I can't measure food or get in as much workout time as I like.

3/7 ⚖️131.2 🙆‍♀️🚶‍♀️🎾. “Sunrise” 🚶‍♀️- 3rd day in a row!

NSV: Played bridge last night with my brother, sister and DH… (Have been playing with them weekly for several years.) My brother says to me, “My goodness, you’ve lost weight”. He was sincerely shocked… seemed worried, like I was sickly or something… I said, Bob, You haven’t noticed till now? He said, “No, I just noticed!” Mind you, I see him several times a month!!! 🤪😂
PS Getting a late start today… Won’t be setting my alarm that’s for sure! Looking forward to this round!

3/8 I flat out FAILED yesterday. Played hooky. I was all excited about this consulting project and ended up transfixed all day, researching & glued to my laptop - I couldn’t stop! I could’ve taken a break at any moment & walked 5 miles and come back home, but… I chose to walk less than 2k steps walking from my desk to the kitchen to the utility room and back. I didn’t eat- not hungry. (900kcal). Didn’t hit my protein. So this morning, I’m headed for a sunrise walk 🙆‍♀️🚶‍♀️🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️and after, a 9 AM meeting at the clients office. This WILL HAPPEN!

Getting fit doesn’t require being 100% on point ALL the time. It’s about being adaptable, CONSISTENT & NEVER GIVING UP. Wont let this become two days!

I read ⬇️ last night and I want to share. Hopefully it will inspire me to carry out my dreams today, and perhaps you too if you are reading this:

Discipline is the strongest form of self love. It’s ignoring something you want right now for something better later on. Discipline reveals the commitment that you have to your dreams, especially on the days you don’t want to follow through…. The future you is depending on the current you to keep the promises you made to yourself yesterday.

3/9 ✅ Sunrise 🚶‍♀️, macros & kcals. 🚫🙆‍♀️🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️🥲
Today: mind is scattered, flustered. My routine change (consulting) has me out-of-sorts. Fuel is good but everything else is discombobulated. House is a mess! Much catching up today.

Reflection: Trying to figure out how to roll with changes in my daily life… My mind gets fixated, and then I lose time management abilities. Learning.
Focus on healing 💦💦💦 today, breathe & smile.

3/10⚖️ 130.2lbs. Yesterday was busy. ✅🚶‍♀️but no other activity goals. Nada. Zip. 🚫. Today, weather is on my side 😎, and since my house and life are seemingly in order, my mind & body are free to have a full work-out and journal/read this morning. 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️. Hosting a family dinner tonight. Healthy grill.

Reflection: Too darn easy for me to get off track of my daily 🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️goals. I ruminate /piddle/ & silly distractions take over & I wonder off... It’s an issue that is derailing my motivation & momentum. I’m glad the ⚖️ ticked down but gaining 💪🏻muscle is my #1 priority. It takes 30 min for crying out loud! I know that I’m mindlessly choosing “skinny-fat” - not what is best or good. Now that I’ve come this far it’s actually a form of self-sabotage. Complacency is my enemy - a BAD choice. Mindful ACTION is key. Come on! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻. Be good to myself dear and 🏋️‍♀️. My future self will thank me!

3/11✅ to everything! Even a chapter of Habit Mechanic (HB). When I check off ✅ each “to do” during the day, I experience a huge sense of accomplishment. Im loving myself…. & I love that “feeling”. Quite powerful / satisfying. Our dinner plans were canceled…. Emotionally draining… but I held strong and went for a second walk. Food as fuel continues.
Morning: 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼🚶‍♀️🎾.
Afternoon:🏋️‍♀️& DGS duty too.

Reflection: I feel decidedly better when I follow a schedule/pre-planned check list. Many couldn’t live that way, but it’s pretty much how I want/need to live… to flourish. My body feels better, my mind operates at a higher level, and I have a palpable sense of contentment. I have more to give. The key is to pace myself with a flexible/realistic “to-do” list. This is hard stuff. I’d rather challenge myself than float/drift. Getting to know me is a satisfying journey at 65!

3/12 Yesterday: ✅ all cylinders! I was able to adapt. The weeks that I have my grandson after school are special. Laughed so hard doing “20 yard sprints” with him… We cracked up! Working in 🏋️‍♀️during moments that are available….
Today: More of same!

3/13⚖️ 132.2. This is where I’m hovering /bouncing since the end of 2023…. Hello it’s me!

Had a great day yesterday and ✅all boxes except protein (Most important one.) Still short. And, still hungry after dinner (grilled chicken qtrs), and treated myself to a greek yogurt with roasted almonds. YUM. My time management is not going as well as I want it to go… too pooped out by 7:30 pm. Being patient and know that I will figure it out.
NSV: I have much more stamina/ speed on the tennis court. Jumping rope & racing with my grandson is paying off!

About Me, WOE & Health Journey
****************************

F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.

WOE since 7/2023: Whole Foods. No processed foods. Animal-based proteins. EGGS, Beef, pork, chicken, seafood, venison and grass-fed whey protein. I count macros & kcals - always will. (Since portion control is my issue). Keto is high-fat but I’m now leaning lower healthy fats with leaner proteins. I had paralyzing IBS for 20 years. My mother was diagnosed with celiac’s disease in her 50’s. Following her lead, I eliminated wheat, oat, barley, and rye several years ago…. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter - an occasional Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for a few days… I do enjoy berries, lemons, limes. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be a social drinker and would enjoy a good martini/scotch or Paloma at home while cooking dinner. NO MORE. Root of many evils. Primarily, the destruction of will power and the enemy of optimal choices. I’d rather journey toward my best-self. I haven’t given up alcohol completely, but I enjoy it sparingly on special occasions. This is me. I finally feel terrific.

History:

I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since at least high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - NEVER EVER- no matter my weight.

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take serious control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 11/15/2014. Weight @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Six years!

Another 🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.

8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 10/30 - held 130lbs till 2/1/23.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much. My nutrition has always been somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was THE issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130ish determined to…. STOP the 🎢 & be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣

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 be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE - to enjoy my “Senior” years to my fullest.

While active with 🚶‍♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼routine was absent. Strength & balance are 💯most important now. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️‍♀️ 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus. I want healthy/fit choices to be my first nature.

Cumulative Round Results
7/15/23 SW 145lbs
R231 - R 247, lost 15lbs to 130.
Avg loss 1lbs per Round. Painfully SLOW.
Jan/Feb: Ticked up to a steady 132ish. Happier@129-130.
(I was in “maintenance” for 4 to 6 weeks and it’s slowly ticked up.)
131.0 on 3/6/24

Now “Fit & Healthy” & striving to continuously improve my strength for an active quality of life. Let’s go!

I'm Crystal! 40 yrs old, wife and mama of 3! Plan for now is OMAD + dessert within an hr. Aiming for 1200 calories/day, less than 90 carbs and low sugar. Recently added more carbs in so I could have fruits with dessert. If I'm not eating fruits then my carb and sugar count is lower. Good luck to all! ❤️

3/7 176.6 Decent day yesterday except I was a over on the amount of carbs I'm trying to have, and I ate extra exercise calories. Looking back at last round, I only met my goals half of the round. The plan for this round is to aim for meeting all my daily goals, most days!
3/8 177.9 Met my goals yesterday except my sodium was really high (still under goal). I made myself a cauliflower crust pizza last night and it was amazing. Lol. But the ingredients in it were high in sodium. Woke up several times with a headache and have one this morning. I'm guessing the sodium is to blame for that and the extra pound. I'm not sure if I'll weigh tomorrow because we are traveling 3 hours away for my 13 & 14yr olds archery tournament. I'll try to check in at some point to see how everyone is doing 🙂.
3/9 DNW- traveling
3/10 DNW
3/11 177.2 Weekend was pretty busy, several times out to eat since we were traveling. Didn't go crazy with my eating or food choices, although I did have 1 alcoholic drink. I got a good trampoline workout yesterday with my 5 year old 🤪. I think this is the first time in weeks I haven't had a gain after the weekend.
3/12 175.9 I'm glad to see a drop, but really I've only lost a pound since March 1st. Hopefully since I'm trying to do better with sticking with my goals it will continue to go down.
3/13 176.1 Not much sleep last night. Carb count was a little higher yesterday but I had 2 servings of fruit, 3 servings of vegetables. Also chex mix which I didn't need 😆. A little discouraged this morning tbh, just not doing well this month with loss. Wondering if it could be my sleep patterns, as there are several days this month that I barely got any sleep.

~ Worked out with my planet fitness lady-group this morning ✅
~ My husband has been in Cancun for work since Sunday and that’s got me feeling a little off-kilter. I do a little less treadmill walking and generally find myself with a little less steam. It’s funny, since I’ve been on this fitness journey, he’s really only been a bystander, he’s not really been tracking or focused on health like I have. But him not here while I do it, is like walking without a step counter! lol There’s nobody here to mentally “show off” to! lol

~ the scale was zigzaggy today. Put in new batteries and went with the Median
Mon 03/11🔴174.5;+1.7lbs
~ #marked-as-survived-an-eventful-weekend! 😅
~ Not sure how true the scale is! My activity level was super-high(for me) and I received a few badges in Stride-kick that I was proud of. But dinner last night was a Home-chef meal that was pretty carb-y and lunch was full of sodium. We’ll see what happens after TMI. Even though the chicken Parmesan was sided with zucchini, the chicken was still breaded and fried.
Sun 03/10: 172.8;+.2lbs
~ The birthday party was so sweet and my cousin was the star of the show of course! She gave such great attention to each present and smashed her birthday cupcake as we all predicted she would. <<see below for pictures>> I am always running around participating in the festivities, but I am noticing when there’s quite a few people I don’t know (and no alcohol) I go into a super-extended ADD mode. Maybe upgrade me to AdHd class! It was a nice time though and luckily they grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and I ate like two of each without the bun.
Sat 03/09🟢172.6;-0lbs
~ No movement on the scale which is a good thing in my opinion. It was wing night at my house so although I didn’t have a ton of food what I did have was full of sodium and definitely felt it in my gut ->🤰
~ I did have 2 light beers 🫤
Fri 03/08🟢172.6;-1lbs
~ This weekend I have plans for the first time in a little bit. My baby cousin is having her 1st birthday at a beach-park. I’m sure they’ll be food because it’s at 11am. Afterwards we’re going to the mall for a few items with some family. Both places will be filled with temptations so I need to have an eating plan in place. Day 5: No alcohol✅
Thu 03/07🟢173.6;-.4lbs
~ Im repeating this from yesterday because I just don’t think I’m taking myself seriously (for crying out loud!!)
<<< Plan on watching old KETO YouTuber videos for mental refreshments!>>>
Requesting everyone’s recommendations for this-please(or how did you motivate/learn yourself how to eat on a Keto diet? THANK YOU(kindly)! 😊 >>>
SW 03/06: 174;-0lbs
~ Another day another dollar!🫤 No change in the scale today. Did have a lot of keto “products” yesterday, which I’ve been trying to limit to once a day. A Hungry-ghost lingered around my stomach all day but I do believe he doubled as a Tired-ghost… neither was Friendly! Lol
***MUST get good sleep to reach my goals.

03/13 - 149.5 - Ahh, back down. I've been doing my best to behave and it seems to be paying off. SD got a tooth pulled yesterday so no workouts for her until she goes back to school. BF hurt his shoulder yesterday so he didn't go to the gym, either. I managed a fairly good workout despite being solo. Got a good walk with the dogs last night with SD while she was still numb and not in pain. Unsure if she'll join me again this afternoon, assuming the weather clears up (it didn't show any rain this morning and yet it was raining so I'm not sure I trust it to be the same this afternoon). Not much else to report on - just working and trying to keep up with my habits!

Previous Day's Comments

03/07 - I'm bouncing around here a bit but it's still an improvement from my previous bouncy spot of about 152. It's a rainy day today so I'm unsure if I'll be able to sneak in a walk with the dogs after dinner like I have been all week so far. I meal prepped tonight and tomorrow's dinners yesterday before my Chiro appointment (sheet pan meal so other than chopping, I could finish work while "cooking" hehe). This morning I had a far more intense paleo version of Chinese Lemon Chicken for lunch today, tomorrow, and Saturday. Unfortunately I cannot locate the steamable stir fry veggies I could've sworn we had in the freezer for what feels like forever! Guess I'll have to improvise with broccoli. It's a good thing I love broccoli or I'd be so tired of it by now. Anyway, I was getting some software installed on my computer so IT had to remote in and I took advantage to get meal prep done (glad I started it so early! It took over twice as long as the recipe said it would). If weather cooperates, I'll head into town tomorrow and walk the dogs on the river trail once BF leaves to go get the kids. Saturday I'll run the hills around my house so I can walk the dogs after, get ready, and head to town for groceries (to avoid the back and forth in one day with my 1-hour round trip to town)

03/11 - Baseball game yesterday so ate off-plan. Enjoyed some pizza which I paid for with an upset tummy until nearly midnight. Dealing with bloat and feeling less-than ideal so I decided to forego weighing in for the sake of my mental health. Otherwise, doing well. Stuck to my eating plan through the end of last week. Went for a 3 mile run and I'm realizing my chiro adjustments have adjusted my form and my mileage is a bit too much for my body to adjust to. Hopefully this won't last terribly long - that 10k is coming fast! Otherwise, sticking to lifting with BF Monday - Thursday. Kiddos here for spring break this week. StepDaughter (SD) joined us this morning and says she wants to continue to join us for workouts- yay! Dinners planned out in a way I can still enjoy my eating plan and kids can eat as they normally would when they're here.
03/12- This is expected, I still haven't fully dropped off the bloat (dehydration water weight & dairy) from Sunday. I wasn't as great as I should've been about getting water in yesterday. I'm working to make up for that today. Workout was short as BF's shoulders were hurting and it was chest day - got in 30 minutes and I pushed myself to nearly muscle failure on each of the exercises we did complete. New watch came in yesterday afternoon so I'm learning it and how to set up all the features I loved about my Fitbit (hourly movement goal, silent alarm, etc). SD didn't join us - she went to bed the same time we did but I wonder if she bothered to go to sleep so she could wake up. Lazy bums! I'm just jealous.
