    @judefit1 have you been spying on me eating a whole bag of hersey kisses?
    Such a good list and a healthy reminder that for most of us this is a lifelong journey, there is no end point where we get to not focus to some degree on our weight and health.
    Most important is that your list doesn’t make it feel like this is a terrible thing, we get to hang out here with each other!

    I'm giving up this round. It was a total disaster and I have no idea what happened. Too embarrassed to post weights. I'm going to get my body into ketosis for a while to hopefully burn some fat. I usually feel better in ketosis but struggle to get my fat intake where it needs to be but going to put more effort in those time and then eventually transition back to Mediterranean.

    See y'all in the next round

    Round 259
    May 6 - 15, 2024

    62 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

    SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
    SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
    SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
    GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

    Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.

    History:
    Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a two grandsons. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(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 (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). 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!

    SW: 127.0

    Day/Weight/Comment

    5/6 – 127.6 Uptick does not reflect yesterday. Calories were thoroughly tracked and on target

    5/7 – 129.2

    5/8 – DNW

    5/9 – 128.8

    5/10 – 126.6 As you can see, some bad behavior and avoidance crept in.

    5/11 – 127.0 Tracked well and met my numbers, even if at the higher end. Today is going to be a challenge. Going to a restaurant using a gift card (somewhere I would not usually go to as calories are consistently pretty high – blooming onion ring a bell?) going to try and pre-track now, and see what I can put together.

    5/12 – 127.6 Yes, I ate over my calories, BUT every bite was tracked. Followed my planning for the most part, and made a conscious decision for the overages. Today will have its own challenges as well (brunch at SIL’s and then bringing coffee and cookies to mom in the afternoon). I should be able to handle well as public buffets are not my issue (closet binger) and the cookies will be from Whole Foods with calories and barcode for tracking. I really need to start back into daily exercise. Something to work on this week.

    5/13 – 128.2

    5/14 – 129.0

    5/15 – DNW

    5/16 – 129.2 Did not handle stressors well this week. Mother’s day dietary plan would have been fine, but day started with a bizarre phone from my mother’s aid. I think her dementia is progressing.I found that Haagen Dass was on sale in the grocery that afternoon…..

    05/15 - 147.9 - I didn't expect this, especially considering I'm dealing with an awful bout of PMS symptoms. No TOM quite yet so its a bit of a struggle to push through the day. I had to drop weight and reps at the gym due to fatigue - not something I've dealt with before. I also woke up several times last night due to cramps and soreness. My right arm and both legs kept cramping and going numb throughout the night. Also had a small bout of back (muscle) spasms due to soreness. It's been rough. Hopefully it'll start improving after today again. I got it done, though! Meals/snacks planned out according to macros and a walk planned during my lunch break again with the dogs to hit steps. Plenty of water, too! Ready to move on and start a new, fresh round on good, happy footing!

    Previous Day's Comments
    05/06 - I went over my macros the last 2 days. Saturday was due to going out to eat and there being no friendly/balanced options at all (besides skipping the meal altogether). Yesterday was simply me being bored and not thinking about logging until AFTER I ate. Oops. Back on track today due to having routine back. We meal prepped lunch and dinner for the week so I have those logged already, along with my breakfast. I'm a bit short right now for protein and carbs but I have room for one more snack. I'm over 9g on fat already (breakfast, lunch, dinner) but I didn't look at where I was with lunch/dinner prep before making and eating breakfast. Oops! Luckily my Coach has me staying within 10g of goal so as long as I don't have more fat for my snack, I'll be good. I'm sore today still from Friday's workout. Despite that, I increased my hack squat weight. I was a rough workout, but I'm super proud of how hard I was able to push, even through the DOMS. Hopefully I can actually be around this whole round before I have to travel again
    05/07 - My macros changed when my Coach reviewed my weekly check-in so I had to adjust my meals a bit to meet those new ones. I was a bit over on fat still but got within the +/-10g buffer of carb and protein goal. I've planned out my meals for today and I'm within the buffer for all 3 macros! I also got in a solid workout (back, bicep, and shoulders - pull) so I'm feeling confident about moving forward with this new setup. Also, walk goal (walk 10 min) has been removed but I'll try to maintain a daily walk with the dogs (or walking pad if weather interrupts), water goal is upped to 100+oz a day, and step goal increased from 8-9k to 9-10k now. We're making things happen!
    05/08 - DNP
    05/09 - Big bloat drop (from DOMS). Yesterday work hit hard early so I didn't get much of a chance to check in. The dogs cannot go out back due to our septic being fixed so they needed more frequent walks which I prioritized over a check in. Doing well otherwise! I've hit my macros yesterday and my plan (so long as I stick to it, no reason not to!) today will be also within goal. Gym has been good and aiming to get my butt out of bed tomorrow for another workout. Need to catch up on posts which I'll work on between meetings and tasks.
    05/10 - I've managed to come back to the 147.x range after a 2 round detour back upwards. This is fine, my body is learning and adjusting. I've pre-logged to my best ability based on my best guess for dinner which we've tentatively planned going out for. We are hoping the weather holds to allow us to go kayak fishing tomorrow. The guys working the septic ended up hitting the power line to the shop (the survey guy missed it when he came out to mark non-dig areas) so we can't work on the truck as we planned since we can't use any of our tools or have light to work (or AC because it's been very hot and humid lately). It is scheduled to be fixed Monday but we had planned to spend the weekend working on the truck so now we're trying to find cheap/free things to keep us busy. Sunday is supposed to be stormy. I'll be doing my grocery shopping and meal-prepping for the week. I have Sunday planned but need to have a tentative plan for Saturday based on what I already have available to make up a meal with. Weekends are always challenging as BF is spontaneous so we'll plan to make dinner and end up eating out instead. The goal is to be mindful and don't let perfectionism or all-or-nothing thinking stress me out.
    05/11 - DNP
    05/12 - DNP
    05/13 - A nice, unexpected drop to start my day. Likely due to the very filling "Linner" (lunch/dinner) we had with Fam for Mothers Day (Happy belated Mothers day to all you wonderful Mamas!) Vermicelli bowl and spring rolls. It was very filling but I felt good - the meal was overall very healthy with lots of vegetables. I was short on protein so I had a protein shake around when we would normally have dinner but that's all I could manage to squeeze in my belly and that likely contributed. A heavy leg day at the gym so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bump up due to DOMS in the next couple days. I'd like to see 147.x to end the round, but I'm not holding my breath. No changes to macros this week but Coach added on a fiber goal.
    05/14 - There's the jump up I expected. I was so sore in my legs getting up this morning, I nearly fell out of bed! I'll be needing to do some extra stretching today to make sure this fades quickly. I also realized that TOM is set to arrive between now and Thursday so some of this jump up maybe due to the inevitable pre-TOM bloat. Quite alright, it doesn't seem as bad. I got my quarterly bad one out of the way last time haha Food is all sorted for today and my workout is completed. Need to walk the dogs during my lunch break and ensure I get 9k steps or more! Plus 100oz of water or more, per my Coach!

    Congrats leveling up (down) to the next decade and STAYING THERE! Keep it up!!! (Down) 😀🙌🏻! What a fighter you are!

    I'm giving up this round. It was a total disaster and I have no idea what happened. Too embarrassed to post weights. I'm going to get my body into ketosis for a while to hopefully burn some fat. I usually feel better in ketosis but struggle to get my fat intake where it needs to be but going to put more effort in those time and then eventually transition back to Mediterranean.

    See y'all in the next round

    Doesn’t look like you’re giving up… You’re just changing/shifting your strategy! Keto has worked for me (@quiltingjaine too)! You’ll find your ZONE! You got this🙌🏻!

    I’ve have the same feeling. I know it works. Changed macros a couple of times but life keeps interrupting. This week I’ve been taking a keto shake to the school for lunch and making or getting dinner out. I need to go back to an egg fast or beef and butter. Those were how I started - need to go back to the tried and true. And get back to fasting.
