pettycoatjunction · March 28

🍀🌦️☔️10 more days ☔️🌤️🌈

How are we hitting April already? Since I played catchup last round from too many social shenanigans, my goal this round is simply to weigh less in 10 days. My hope is to see a 130 in this endeavor! Come on folks… summer is coming. We can do this!!!

Welcome back @jedaschultz❤️

quiltingjaine · March 28

@musicsax @deepwoodslady @tiabirdie56 and all - thank you for the “welcome back” We had a great time! Tish, the only stress I experienced was from screaming, uncontrolled, running children. When we booked we didn’t realize we were sailing during spring break. During the days when Carl went into the towns several people asked why I stayed on the ship. My answer- because the parents take the kids with them and the ship is quiet. I love kids but they need to be taught some manners. On the plus side, we saw whales migrating north, dolphins swimming along with us and sea lions.

tiabirdie56 · March 28

@quiltingjaine, I agree 100% on kids. I love kids too, but unruly, out of control, back talking
children are NOT cute.
Oh glad you got to see some other wildlife! 😆 I remember going on a whale watch cruise. All day in the blazing sun and not one whale sighted.

@jedaschultz Debbie, welcome back. I’m sorry you’ve had such a rough year. Remember we’re here if you need to “unload.”

quiltingjaine · March 28

@Krysless2 I usually do one meal a day (OMAD) and drink water and black coffee with an occasional Coke Zero the rest of the day. There are books about fasting if you have library access. Jason Fung, MD has co-authored a couple. If I do 24 hours or longer I have water, black coffee and broth. I just use the store brand of broth.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

3/27 - 148.8
3/28 - 148.4 - A little dip, for which I'm thankful. I found myself in a rut yesterday with meal planning to make my grocery list. I'll work on that after work today and hopefully come up with something that will work well without getting overly bored of certain foods and with being on-duty for the weekend (travels well/can be prepped head so I'm not called out in the middle of cooking). I'm rushing because I found out after I posted yesterday that HEB is closed Easter/Sunday and I'm out of town Saturday so I have to make a work lunch grocery run tomorrow instead. Due to leaving somewhat early Saturday, I'll also be running tomorrow for my cardio day/10k training. It'll be a busy one since I'm also going to be trying to finish a huge project tomorrow for work. Eek! This is a trial, but I can handle it with a proper mindset

Previous Day's Comments

3/27 - No change but that's okay. I started estimating my calorie intake (I didn't fully measure while meal prepping and I'm not weighing things when I eat, so just a rough estimate) to ensure I'm getting enough to fuel my body with the strength training but not so much that I'll be gaining fat. I'm very low on protein this week so I'm figuring out how to up protein in my meals for the next two weeks as well as snacks to add in. This weekend's grocery trip must get me through until at least the 12th of April due to the Eclipse (can't grocery shop the weekend of the 6th/7th as I'll be on call with the Fire Department). I'm still learning what works for me with meal prep (mix and match is going very well! Day 3 and I'm not yet dreading either meal) as well as what is needed to meet my goals. A work in progress still makes small steps forward!

Let’s Go! 💪🏻🙌🏻⚡️

3/27 ⚖️130
Just want to report my 🎾 team won 🏆 our division yesterday and we are headed to state at the end of April. It’s just plain fun. I was EXHAUSTED after the match. As captain, it’s impossible to not be emotionally invested. Last night I was so hungry. Ate a burger with bacon & cheese. No bun. Scale approved this morn but will probably show up tomorrow. Crazy. Will drink tons of 💦 today. Sunrise walk now, then catch up with life today. Yes, will 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼📿🏋️‍♀️. Will do it all!

NSV: Since I went out of my regular eating patterns yesterday, I’ll follow up with plenty of water today. It’s a helpful habit.

3/28 Yesterday I got sidetracked - it was as if I had a worm in my brain devouring every rational thought. I had planned all of my workouts -and the moment I started thinking about my tennis team going to state, I didn’t stop thinking about it for 14 hours… THAT is an unhelpful habit!
Today- Headed out the door for my morning walk then a full day, preparing to head out of town before daybreak tomorrow!

I apologize if you see this twice. I thought I posted this at 6:30 this morning but I can’t find it!

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.

Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- up to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
Many different diets each decade!
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.135/140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs in 2010. 130lbs by end of 2014.
2020 (Age 62) 130-135lbs
7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs

UGW = 129-130lbs
⬆️SMM: 100lbs +
BF% : 23%

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 & slowly ticked up.)
130.0 on 3/26/24

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

I seem to be stuck. But I’m listening to my body better and snacking a lot less, so all good. I finished my cardigan yesterday—here it is (I haven’t washed it yet). I’ll stop now with the knitting. 😊

I made really good choices compared to what we usually get there, but I had eaten so little all day that I had a small binge in the afternoon of things I haven’t eaten in a while. Taking granddaughter on a picnic today as she’s off of school for Good Friday. Gotta be careful today.

@quiltingjaine WELCOME BACK! Sounds like a fantastic trip, and I'm with you too- love to see kids, hate when parents are "unaware". It happens too often.

@SheilaBoneham your craftsmanship is amazing- both the wrap and the sweater are beautifully made and gorgeous colors!

@Chapter_3 a delayed congratulations on your victory, and enjoy your vacation!

Goals this round:
* continue to improve nutrition and exercise routines.

3/29: again... I was hopeful because the scale did one of those tricks where it showed a lower weight and then settled back to 130, so I got on and off 3X.

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

Rnd 254 EW 187.0

3/27- 186.8
3/28- 187.0
3/29- 187.6 That seems like a normal bounce around especially with TOM. I felt so overwhelmed and was martyring myself yesterday over all of the things I needed to get done. Perhaps I was a bit hormonal, venting is good but I’m glad my mood has turned around.
