RND 256 SW: 174.2, EW 172.4 (-1.8)

RND 257 So far in April, I've met my goals every day along with daily exercise. I aim to finish off April with no "cheat days"!

4/16 172 Light eating day yesterday, I just didn't have much of an appetite. Looking at the dates of this round reminded me that my youngest boy's birthday is next week (the 24th). He'll be 6. He is the happiest and sweetest little boy and he brings such joy to everyone ❤️.
4/17 170.2 I was waiting for a drop. I could tell my body has been holding on to water. Also have barely had an appetite for 2 days, so I was a good bit under on calories both days (not complaining about that 🤪). Weight will probably go up a little when I'm eating back to normal.
4/18 170.2 Another good day yesterday. Feels good to set goals and actually stick with them. I set another goal for myself this month also to not bite or pick at my fingernails. (I know it sounds gross) Just something I've been doing since I was a little girl. Bad bad habit that I've never been able to break. Although my nails still aren't long, I have more nails now than I ever have and I can actually paint them 😀.

4/19 171.5 Weighed myself 2 hours early this morning before I really got moving around. Seems like I weigh a little more when I first wake up. Yesterday was another good day with all goals met.
4/20 170.9 Low calorie day yesterday. Not much planned this weekend which is nice to have a break!
4/21 171.7 Japanese for dinner last night. High sodium and rice 😆. Very little sleep the past 2 nights also. Lots of water today!

It's been a while since I've been here, but decided to focus on weight loss again and this has always been a helpful tool for me. Lost 30 pounds last spring. then gained a few of those back. Have kept up my daily walks, but need to concentrate on nutrition. Trying to get in the 60's by my son's wedding at the end of April..

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.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

SW RND 257 134.5
4/16 134.0 Finally dropped a bit and DH set up dinner date at Golden Corral 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I have a plan since we are going later so friends can get butterfly shrimp. I will get salad and steak and see what good veggies they have. I can do this! OY! This morning has been a mess. Now to finish reading today’s posts.
4/17 136.5 I only ate one meal yesterday. That was at GC. I really didn’t eat a lot of food but it was high carb-breaded shrimp and Nashville Chicken Bites, sugar free vanilla cake and the blueberry filling from a slice of SF blueberry pie, at a 2” square of real crust from “apple cobbler.” I also drank a lot of water after we got home. I feel bloated-something I don’t experience often. Optometrist today so I can replace the glasses that broke when I fell in Ensenada. Tonight is community bingo with pizza for dinner.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
4/18 138.5 The thick crust pizza was cold be the time it was served so I couldn’t even pry the toppings lose to throw the crust away. This is turning into a stellar week🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️I’m having my BP coffee and pondering my plan. On the upside-It’s great of the scale to let me know it’s working by showing increases.🤪😂
4/19 136.5 Liquid fast yesterday
4/20 134.5 Liquid fast yesterday but short on water. Going to Great Greek today
4/21 135.0 Super low calories the last week, no idea why the bump up. Just keeping to it and riding the waves.

SW 131.2

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

“Fit & Healthy” - persistent dedication to consciously improve my strength, stamina, agility & flexibility to “live younger than my years.”

R257 Commitments:
TOP THREE! Daily Focus:
⚖️, 🏋️‍♀️15 min. 📿 increase#

4/15 R256 EW 131.2lbs.

4/16 131.5 ✅ Solid day. Commitments = 💪🏻 HM& 📿
🎾 3hrs🚶‍♀️11k 🏋️‍♀️
NSV- Used positive choices & 📝 to get myself out of the dump. Looking forward to today.

4/17 130.4 ✅ I’ll take the unexpected ⬇️…
Yesterday:🏋️‍♀️15 min 📿350 jumps 🎾 2 hrs 20 min,🚶‍♀️11k , protein ✅ Solid day but woke up @ 3:55am. My sleep isn’t cooperating. Lost my temper HUGE yesterday over minuscule stuff. Here I am thinking I’m dealing well, but I’m not realizing how much it’s impacting me…
📝 30 min.
Up @ 4:25 this morn. 🎾again then prepping for work Thurs morn…. then off to State 🎾tournament - starts Friday 7:30AM. Food planned!! Will sleep better tonight.

NSV: I’m amazed at how often I’m checking my thoughts & changing them. Even though I lost my temper, I was quick to understand why and apologize. Drank more 💦 and went for a walk. 📿 rope. Ate only to fuel my body yesterday.

4/18 130.9
✅🎾🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️🤸🏼📿 macros
Solid day! Food=Fuel. Up to 450 jumps on the 📿. I think I can do more it’s just boring….
Today: Up @ 4:45. Work, then prepping for 🎾tournament tomorrow. Have been drinking+ 💦. Food for tournament is planned and no alcohol.

NSV: Clarification: when I write food = fuel, that means that food is a necessity- no fixation. I eat when hungry, and it’s somewhat mundane/boring. I’m that person that doesn’t mind eating the same thing three days in a row… ex: super dry chicken breast 🤩 Eating is simple. Little to no variety.

4/19 131.0 lbs - Up at 3AM 👀
STATE 🎾 TODAY!
Yesterday: worked most of day, prepped for leaving town. Food & 💦good. No other ✅. Full day of tennis today!

4/20🎾DNW. 💦💦💦Played two matches. Team lost both matches but 1-1 for me & my partner. So fun. We have two matches today… Then home tonight, because we are no longer in contention. Having a blast!
Ate high protein. Busted: two drinks last night! Tequila and lime juice - zero- low carb! Onward!

4/21 133.4 My body is totally discombobulated & heavy. Retaining fluids and no sleep plus over 20k steps per day both F & S… Once I catch up on my sleep and drink 💦💦💦 will feel better. Did not over eat and I stuck with my macros. When you truly pay attention to your body, you just know when it’s off kilter, right? Haven’t been this tired physically & emotionally in years. Huge build-up then let down for the 🎾tournament. All worth it… Athletic competition is so much fun… Will re-enter normalcy& routine soon. 😎

Guess what?! I ate a piece of cake yesterday! I think it’s been since Christmas that I had anything sweet. Oh gosh, it was so gross… I was so exhausted. I walked past this big grocery store sheet cake and said what the hell… Did I enjoy it? Not really. the sugar gave me a momentary rush… It was impulsive, so I’m not quite where I want to be yet… To just keep on walking … I’m telling you it’s just not worth it. I still have a headache.

Will be yucky all day today… Not sure how many 🚶‍♀️steps I can get in, but I will stretch, 📿 and 🏋️‍♀️.
Will finish strong this round.

WOE & Health Journey
****************************

WOE since 7/2023: MAD: (Mostly Animal Diet) 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 leaner animal proteins with lower fat than Keto. I thought I was “KETOVORE” but I’ve been told I am “MAD”.

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 in 2015 …. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter - an occasional high protein Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for several days… I do enjoy berries, lemons, limes. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece(s) of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be somewhat of a weekend 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 9th grade. 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 MANY different diets each decade!
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.130-140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
Menopause - Age 50
2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs 2014 (Age 56) 130lbs
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!

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140lbs. 🎢🎢🎢 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.)

Day, Weight, Comment

4/16 - 195
I ate a lot yesterday, mostly healthy food, just too much. I’m not worried about the uptick. We have another gorgeous day, with rain forecast this evening and tomorrow, so I’m planning more garden infrastructure work today again. It’s good exercise, with a bigger purpose. 😊

4/17 - 195
Rainy day, so I’m off to knit for a while with a friend. Always fun to knit in company and talk and laugh. She usually feeds my lunch when I do, but I’m taking a curried pineapple chicken salad this time. Yummy!

4/18 - 194.4
This is long, so no need to read. I’m writing partly to find out what I’m thinking. I’m in the throes of some big decisions about life, all building up for a while but banging around in my head in a big way right now. I’ve mentioned here my friend who has had serious health problems over the past year and is now on dialysis 3 days a week and essentially immobile. On Tues her husband came in from mowing the lawn, sat down with a cold drink, and had a massive heart attack. Last I heard he was alive but not responsive. This has all been a sad reminder that life can change in a heartbeat, literally. I’m 71 and Roger will be 89 in July. We’re both healthy, thankfully, but realistically I don’t have much time left to monkey around. (20 years is not much time imo.) Things that used to be vitally important to me no longer are, and I’ve developed some new interests. One of the decisions I’ve made is to (try to) step back from my lifelong worry about weight and tracking calories and yada yada. The recent photo with the stack of diet books really hit me—like many of you, I’ve read everything and know a lot and yet have struggle with weight or worry about weight since the first diet I was put on in the fourth grade. The only times in my life I haven’t “dieted” (and I include any kind of restriction in that) were when I was working and studying overseas, and walking everywhere. Clearly my lifelong diet worry hasn’t worked. So one of the things I’m dropping, maybe short term, maybe for good, is tracking. I’ve already stopped tracking food, and I’ve put my scale in the closet after this morning’s weigh in. All of which is to say I’m not sure how long I’ll stay with this group. I really enjoy reading your posts, but I may need to step away for a while. I’ll stick around for this round and see. Anyway, thank you all for being so supportive and open about your journeys.

4/19 - DNW
Thanks to those who commented on my long entry yesterday. The good news is that my friend’s husband is doing reasonably well. And I’m feeling pretty good about trying not to track, although it’s so thoroughly ingrained after years of doing it that it’s mostly automatic. Anyway…. @_JeffreyD_ I do journal by hand most days—I’ve filled many notebooks! Research shows that our brains are more engaged when writing by hand than when typing. Not that I can read my own writing anymore! But journaling, like walking alone and unplugged, is a great way to work things out. Pulling weeds, too, and that’s what I’m off to do!

4/20 - DNW

4/21 - DNW
I thought I posted yesterday, but I can’t find it. Duh! It’s turned cold here—too cold for comfy garden work so I think I’ll make some progress on my knitting project today. 😊 Enjoy your Sunday!

04/20 -DNW- (Trend weightDNW)I babysat yesterday. It was a teacher day so there was no school. My meals were okay for the day but my night time snacks were a bit questionable. I need to start incorporating some exercise back in without too much stress on my foot. I’ll work on that today. I got a little over 6 hours of sleep last night which is way above my norm although I always have frequent bathroom trips. That’s one of the most frustrating part of diabetes. However, I still feel rested and ready to have a good day. We had snow this morning. It’s bleak and cold but with no workers here and (I presume) no babysitting today, it is peaceful and quiet.

04/21 --My meals have been great. My exercise is still almost non-existent as I am probably “over-babying” the foot right now. My snacks have been over-the-top. I ABSOLUTELY can very easily over-eat (or binge) on my approved low calorie/low carb foods. So everything I ate yesterday was healthy and to-plan. Just too much of it. Part hunger, part food obsession/binge disorder. I’ve got to get a grip. What causes these binges to creep up? What happened this time? The foot injury and inability to exercise? The cancer scare? The renovation and the mess and turmoil in my daily life it causes? Life has challenges, fears, stresses. I am trying really hard not to cope with food and emotional eating. It’s a battle in itself. I’ll try harder to put out the fires tonight, that’s all I can do.

Round Goal <203.

1. Eat within calorie goals
2. Get a walk in every day
3. Drink water
4. Stay positive
5. Remember, the tortoise wins the race

4/16 204.0 Good start and now to keep it moving. I've had a cold the last few days and haven't felt like doing much exercising not that I do much anyway. But we had started walking once a day around the area lake. Today it's been raining off and on so I don't know if we will get that walk in or not. I did get a new food journal which I really like.

4/17 203.6 I wasn’t sure about any loss today. Last night we ate at Cracker Barrel but I had the grilled trout, cooked baby carrots, fried apples and one and a half biscuits. I was worried the bread would do me in, I’ve not had very much bread at all this past month. Also had a very short walk last night but it was something.

4/18 203.6 Traveling today to spend two days with my mom.

4/19 DNW
4/20 DNW

4/21 203.2 I’m very pleased that I was able to travel to visit my mom and my weight go down instead of up. I need to be very careful the rest of the day.

4/18 152.2 I feel better with no dairy and gluten. I’ve been on a modified bed rest for 3 weeks due to various issues in the L4-L5-S1 of my spine, waiting to see specialists. A friend brought dinner over and I ate gluten and dairy, weight and inflammation are up. No surprise.
4/19 151.2 A more normal eating day yesterday, still need to keep working on getting all my water 💦 in
4/20 152.4 Went to dinner with friends and ate a way larger dinner with dessert than I am used to later at night. Was over calories by 300.

4/16 178.0 That was a pretty good drop since yesterday, so I won’t be surprised with a bounce tomorrow, if there is one. Had a great walk in the neighborhood last night. The weather has been picture perfect the last few days! Food has been on track now for quite some time. I’m craving protein at night recently but so far I am resisting once I’m done for the day. I’m happy with the macro levels I am currently achieving. We are moving Dad into Assisted Living next Wednesday, so I'm having trouble shutting my brain down at night. Only getting about 5 hours of sleep these days and that's after I get up and finally take a nerve pill. I know Assisted Living's the right thing to do, and he seems to be ok with it, but I just worry.
4/17 178.4 Did a yoga session right before bed and that did seem to help me get to sleep. Today I need to get in a good walk.
4/18 178.4 No real exercise today, but some yoga before bed to help me sleep.
4/19 178.2 Got in a long walk after dinner and it felt great to get in some real mileage. I did find out that Medicare will pay for a gym membership through the Silver Sneakers program, so I may give that a try once it kicks in and I have a little more time for myself. They have water aerobics and a circuit training for us OAPs (LOL) that maybe my knees can handle. Plus, of course, you have access to everything else there. I used to enjoy my gym before Covid. We'll see. I gave in and had a chocolate milkshake with my granddaughter and my dad, so yesterday was my highest carb day since starting this. I guess we will find out if my walk and only eating salad afterwards will prevent a bounce.
4/20 177.6 I’ve increased the distance of my walks and am really enjoying that after dinner. Hubby starts out with me most of the time and then I finish after he goes back to the house. But now I'm going a lot further than I was before. I am sleeping better, so I’m hoping to be able to keep this going.
4/21 178.8 Not sure what brought about this little bounce, but hoping I get it gone tomorrow. Continued my walking this afternoon and it really feels great! Did well with food choices again today.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 257 (my 187th). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; to lose! To be consistent and lose something. I start this round a year older (hopefully wiser ?) Officially an OAP! How can that be I can’t possibly be that old – I feel much much younger 😊.
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.

4/22 184.4 Happy to see a little drop. I’m definitely still dealing with some hormonal bloat but the upside is that I usually see a new low on the other side of TOM.
The goat farm was fantastic yesterday, highlight was meeting an eight year old tom turkey who loves getting his “wing pits” tickled. Just delightful.
Luckily DH agreed it was far too cold for a boat ride. I’m looking forward to the next warm sunny day.

4/16 131.5 ✅ Solid day. Commitments = 💪🏻 HM& 📿
🎾 3hrs🚶‍♀️11k 🏋️‍♀️
NSV- Used positive choices & 📝 to get myself out of the dump. Looking forward to today.

4/17 130.4 ✅ I’ll take the unexpected ⬇️…
Yesterday:🏋️‍♀️15 min 📿350 jumps 🎾 2 hrs 20 min,🚶‍♀️11k , protein ✅ Solid day but woke up @ 3:55am. My sleep isn’t cooperating. Lost my temper HUGE yesterday over minuscule stuff. Here I am thinking I’m dealing well, but I’m not realizing how much it’s impacting me…
📝 30 min.
Up @ 4:25 this morn. 🎾again then prepping for work Thurs morn…. then off to State 🎾tournament - starts Friday 7:30AM. Food planned!! Will sleep better tonight.

NSV: I’m amazed at how often I’m checking my thoughts & changing them. Even though I lost my temper, I was quick to understand why and apologize. Drank more 💦 and went for a walk. 📿 rope. Ate only to fuel my body yesterday.

4/18 130.9
✅🎾🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️🤸🏼📿 macros
Solid day! Food=Fuel. Up to 450 jumps on the 📿. I think I can do more it’s just boring….
Today: Up @ 4:45. Work, then prepping for 🎾tournament tomorrow. Have been drinking+ 💦. Food for tournament is planned and no alcohol.

NSV: Clarification: when I write food = fuel, that means that food is a necessity- no fixation. I eat when hungry, and it’s somewhat mundane/boring. I’m that person that doesn’t mind eating the same thing three days in a row… ex: super dry chicken breast 🤩 Eating is simple. Little to no variety.

4/19 131.0 lbs - Up at 3AM 👀
STATE 🎾 TODAY!
Yesterday: worked most of day, prepped for leaving town. Food & 💦good. No other ✅. Full day of tennis today!

4/20🎾DNW. 💦💦💦Played two matches. Team lost both matches but 1-1 for me & my partner. So fun. We have two matches today… Then home tonight, because we are no longer in contention. Having a blast!
Ate high protein. Busted: two drinks last night! Tequila and lime juice - zero- low carb! Onward!

4/21 133.4 My body is totally discombobulated & heavy. Retaining fluids and no sleep plus over 20k steps per day both F & S… Once I catch up on my sleep and drink 💦💦💦 will feel better. Did not over eat and I stuck with my macros. When you truly pay attention to your body, you just know when it’s off kilter, right? Haven’t been this tired physically & emotionally in years. Huge build-up then let down for the 🎾tournament. All worth it… Athletic competition is so much fun… Will re-enter normalcy& routine soon. 😎

Guess what?! I ate a piece of cake yesterday! I think it’s been since Christmas that I had anything sweet. Oh gosh, it was so gross… I was so exhausted. I walked past this big grocery store sheet cake and said what the hell… Did I enjoy it? Not really. the sugar gave me a momentary rush… It was impulsive, so I’m not quite where I want to be yet… To just keep on walking … I’m telling you it’s just not worth it. I still have a headache.

Will be yucky all day today… Not sure how many steps I can get in, but I will stretch and 🏋️‍♀️.
Will finish strong this round.

4/22 ⚖️132.0 Couch potato ALL day. The day became gorgeous around 11AM, but still didn’t move off the couch… still wiped out… Playing tennis today to get my body / blood moving. Still dehydrated…. Slept better. (Till 4:45) Tomorrow is definitely my deadline for THE ✅checklist! More 💦💦💦 today.

WOE & Health Journey
****************************

WOE since 7/2023: MAD: (Mostly Animal Diet) 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 leaner animal proteins with lower fat than Keto. I thought I was “KETOVORE” but I’ve been told I am “MAD”.

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 in 2015 …. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter - an occasional high protein Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for several days… I do enjoy berries, lemons, limes. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece(s) of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be somewhat of a weekend 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 9th grade. 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 MANY different diets each decade!
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.130-140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
Menopause - Age 50
2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs 2014 (Age 56) 130lbs
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!

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140lbs. 🎢🎢🎢 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.
