Ten day journey to continue solidifying a new identity!💃

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

Mission: Continuous improvement of daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.

📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
#helpfulhabits
Let’s Go! 💪🏻🙌🏻⚡️

R260 Habits:
✅🏋️‍♀️20 min/ day or 30 min 4x per week. RECORD DETAIL.
✅ 🙏📝 🧐60 min 5x /week (Pray, journal, and research)
✅🥩110g -120g of protein

NSVs/Journey Reflections…. 👇🏻
********************************
👇🏻Review since my first R231

1. ✅Avg. close to 10k steps per day for 8+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅Healthy Habit: 🙆‍♀️ I stretch daily and that has greatly improved my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅HH: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
4. ✅HH: Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
5. ✅HH: zero to 10g of net carbs/ day
6. ✅🥩MAD 110-120g Protein (Mostly Animal Diet-CLEAN)
7. ✅HH Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM.
8. ✅💦80oz daily
9. ✅Alcohol limited to rare occasions.

Tremendous progress since last July, but still “skinny-fat”. I want 🏋️‍♀️to become a healthy habit too. … 🏋️‍♀️20 min per day or 30 min 4x per week. I need to continue to journal📝 and to strive to ID unhelpful habits & replace with helpful ones.

Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.

In my dreams, I want to be 130 lbs with a HARD body… 😎 But let’s face it, this could be unattainable and/or unsustainable, but I’ll give it my best … It’s a 🥕! I don’t know how long it will take. Also, consuming 110g to 120g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable.

Let’s do R260 !!🙌🏻

Slept like a rock last night. 😀Groin is better but still not 💯. I’m hoping it to be well enough for 🎾tomorrow. I was able to walk five miles yesterday. A little 🏋️‍♀️. Read several hrs yesterday. Again, I recommend Atomic Habits (Clear), the Habit Mechanic (Finn) and a new release “Good Energy” by Casey Means, MD.

Cant believe 30, THIRTY rounds! I can honestly say that I’m energized again… And looking forward to digging in this round! I can also say this is the first time in my life, my entire life, feeling safe and secure on this health journey. I know in my soul this is who I am. I’m no longer the gal that has struggled with her 🎢 weight and choices her entire life…. I am a new person DAILY prioritizing health and fitness. Wow! Kinda hesitant to write that down…. But…. ONWARD! Ok ok ok, gotta see it, B E L I E VE it and work it! Let’s go! 💪🏻🏋️‍♀️🙌🏻

Pulling for all of you! Will continue enjoying coffee ☕️ with you each morning!

Good day. Interesting fact read in “Good Energy”: brisk walk 10x per day /6 min is = MORE benefits than one, one hr walk. Same for🏋️‍♀️. Called “snacking”. Will try today!

5/18 ⚖️129.6lbs
✅📝
🚫🏋️‍♀️ (only 5 min)
🚫🥩 100g
Haven’t seen 129ish since late 2023. I think it’s from inactivity & an incredible night’s sleep. Instead of one long walk, I walked four times yesterday to reach 5 miles. I enjoyed it.

🏋️‍♀️”snacking” didn’t work because of an emotional interruption… 🤬🥲 I’m determined for today to be positive. I will stay in the present moment and listen to Norman!
(DH is gone for the weekend with a handful of his high school buddies… They do this once a year… He always has a wonderful time!) Major thunderstorms today. Planning on challenging resistance band sessions & 🏋️‍♀️ throughout the day & steak tonight! [Oh, my groin is a little better, but it is still limiting my movement a great deal - can tell it’s getting better each day. ] This is the longest I’ve gone without playing tennis in at least 10 years… Hoping to LIVE and enjoy a really good day today. Come ON! 💪🏻

5/19 ⚖️129.7 lbs.
✅🏋️‍♀️
✅🥩110g
✅📝
Good things to share:
1. Yesterday I started off gung-ho and then I got caught spending too much time surfing Amazon/piddling but I was able to get in two 10-minute 🏋️‍♀️ “snacks” and a 4.5 mi walk. How? I just let the day pass by and finally after my 4 o’clock steak, I asked myself who the heck am I? And I literally responded to myself… “Fit, healthy & strong”. What would a “healthy, fit & strong” person with a groin injury do right now? … A long brisk walk! I literally embraced this new identity… It was a wild feeling! Akin to WWJD? What would HFSD?! My new inner-voice of encouragement. It was such a mind game… Going back-and-forth between slouch or HFS? While walking, I just gave myself so many affirmations. It was empowering & uplifting.
2. “White Noise” App. A friend of mine recommended this app weeks ago, and I’ve been putting it off. Several nights ago I started listening to “Rain”. For the last three nights, I have slept like a baby… Nature Sounds. There are a gazillion apps similar to this… This one’s very basic and I’ve hit a jackpot.
Unfortunately, my groin is still bothering me so I ordered a compression strap to see if it would help and I’ve started icing it several times a day… some relief. I have a tennis match scheduled for Tuesday and I’m concerned I’ll have to cancel it…
Have a disciplined day!
HFSD?😎

🚫🥩100g (just shy). Phooey.
Nice, even day. Terrific sleep. What more could I ask for? Groin making a wee-bit of progress. Icing helps. Today is my 🥩130g day. Let’s see if I can make it!

Solid day. Highlight was attending my DGS end-of-year award ceremony. Honor Roll proud! Canceled my 🎾 match this morn. Hoping I’m good to play Friday. Walking & 🏋️‍♀️today.

5/22 DNW. Up too early
✅🏋️‍♀️ 25 min
✅📝
✅🥩132g

Feeling strong but back to 4 hrs sleep. I listened to a babbling brook instead of rain… going back to rain tonight! Keeping positive!

Actually picked up a tennis racket and played for about an hour yesterday. I think I’m good to go… I feel like I’m about 98%.
Excellent 🏋️‍♀️✅

NSV: I’ve been naturally not eating till about noon every day… (water & coffee when I wake). Enjoying ☕️ now…. Keeping my eating window from noon to 6 PM continues to work well. I pretty much eat the same thing every day… Fresh Eggs/avocado/sometimes cheese @noon- Throw in a little bacon every now and then, then, some kind of protein and maybe high protein greek yogurt & a few fresh berries later (around 3pm), a protein shake and then more protein at 5:30pm. Zero calories from liquids. Boring is good. Actually, I can then spend time with other priorities … I spend a whole lot less time at the grocery store and planning meals…. I don’t know if I’m gaining muscle or not but my clothes continue to feel loose. My identity “HSF” starting to click. Mindset is “present” and positive (for now anyway). ONWARD!

Solid day but surprisingly, I was actually hungry all day… Quite unusual & didn’t drink my usual water. Had a vodka /soda at bridge last night. Didn’t sleep well again. My DH is taking my DGS and friend camping 🏕️ tonight at local state park for end-of-school year boys night. My hubby is kind & brave. They’ll have so much fun! So glad they are making memories. Cant wait to hear the stories! I’m working today and will be sure to 🏋️‍♀️.

5/23: Went for breakfast at the Irish breakfast place again (last time until Sept, can't get near it all summer) and didn't have a scone this time, which probably accounts for a full pound! Wednesday evening yoga class was packed- a new teacher who was good right from the start and becoming excellent; she's going to be a "favorite."

CloverDemeter · May 23

Really surprised by today's weight! I didn't eat super clean, but not my worst either. My dinner was heavy in carbs and I could have drank more water so I'm hoping that's all it was. I'm going to drink a ton of water today to hopefully flush out any retained sodium!

Better than the drop this morning was yesterday's Surprise NSV!! I had packed some shorts to change into after swim without trying them on. They were so tight last summer, I expected the fit to be better ~ but when I put them on ... wow. I was in front of the locker room mirrors and was like omg, that's you. How long has it been since you looked/felt like that? I was spinning around looking at myself for a good 2-3 minutes, y'all, lol ~ my New #1 NSV

Journey since January 1st (includes pics)

MAY 1st SW: 197.3 | EW: 000.0
MAY Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat

JAN 1st: 212.5 | WAIST 36.9 ~ HIPS 47.0 ~ BF 40.6% ~ BMI 31.5

MAY 16th: 194.2 | WAIST 33.5 ~ HIPS 42.8 ~ BF 36.8% ~ BMI 28.9

May 4: 10 of the 20 inches lost was off my belly! No pics, no proof, lol ~ I love/hate taking photos because they've become one of my best tools. You can't lie and you can't hide. Putting myself on blast 1) creates incentive to increase effort and 2) highlights new areas to focus on. Still have a looooooooonnnng way before reaching my ultimate goals, but its nice to see muscle memory is real!

At a size 15, I haven't been this small in more than 10 years.

APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 197.8
Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
Lost less than a pound, 1.25 inches combined on arms and legs | regained 0.2% body fat and 1/2 inch back on my belly. Starting dietary 200-400 calorie deficit and Intermittent Fasting 18-24 hrs. Breaking fast differently, including more protein, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in May.

January 1st - April 1st, I've lost 17 pounds and a total of 20.8 inches from 11 areas. 🥳 Thrilled to see my hard work reversing prediabetes and years of physical damage. Getting leaner and stronger and chair dancing proud of myself about it!! 57 and hormonal, it's taken longer than expected and a much rougher road than my youth.

Reaching onederland (March 13th) meant the end of 10+ years and up to 80 pounds!! gained and relost too many times to count. Yo-yoing is the main reason for so much body fat!!! Determined not to continue to self-sabotage ... I need a new target!! If I should lose an additional 8% body fat to reach the "standard" for my age, height and sex ~ and up to 15% more to reach excellent ~ that's @ least another 8-15 months of work before I can begin to relax and think maintenance.

~ Post TMI was 164.6(that was cool seeing that proceeding 4… I haven’t seen those numbers in 1.5 years!)
~ Survived my brother’s grad-night dinner and I’m sure the sodium count caused the bump up. I stayed away from alcohol and still had a nice time.
I counted the hours of walking all over the parking lot and the fair grounds stadium stairs as a total of 30 minutes of exercise + plus the 30 mins of ACTUAL exercise in the morning.

Day. Weight. Comments.

5/16 - 196.6
I’m sore this morning from weeding yesterday, but I’m headed out for more. The fun never stops!

5/17 - 196.8
Oops. Snacked last night. Will try to do better today. 😁

5/18 - 197.4
Double oops. Didn’t do better yesterday, obviously. I’ll try today.

5/19 - 197
A couple of hours weeding and transplanting in the hot sun yesterday actually reduced my appetite. Maybe I can lose my winter fat now! I thought I’d share a pic of my happy clematis. It’s beginning to look a lot like summer!

5/20 - 196.6
Wow, we jumped straight from chilly rainy to hot and humid. Flowers are happy, weeds are happier! Happy Monday, all!

5/21 - 197.6
That’s lunch out yesterday. Oh well. Healthy menu planned today, plus at least a couple of hours of garden work.

5/22 - 197.4
Mostly healthy food yesterday, but DH asked for cake, so I baked a lovely strawberry cake with strawberry cream cheese frosting, and of course I had to be sure it was up to snuff. It was! 😳 🍓 Menu for today is healthy, low-calorie, and I’m taking pieces of cake to friends, leaving just enough for DH. Off to agility class with Charlie in a bit.

5/23 - 197.6
Ugh. Oh well. Just keep on keepin on. Hopefully I can still end the round even or down a little.

Round 261 is posted!

fmfdfa2020 · May 23

Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going!

Heaviest Weight Ever: 186.0
186 / 185 / 184 / 183 / 182 / 181 / 180
179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170 👉 169

Goal: Calorie Cycle for a weekly average between 1200 - 1500. Eat more vegetables and fruit. Drink 80oz water each day. Walk. Start building strength back using light weights.

5/16 - 176.6 - I'm going back to exercising in the mornings the way I did before I retired. I'm more likely to exercise instead of deciding I'm too tired at the end of the day, and it makes me want to stay on a healthy track with my food the rest of the day. And if I'm just full of energy

, I can always do another form of exercise in the evening.
5/17 - 176.4 - I got (3) 1 pound bags of pecans I ordered from a farm down in Georgia today. I'm allergic to peanuts and they guarantee no cross contamination. I'm freezing 2 pounds. My plan is to just eat in my oatmeal, and not eat a handful every time I go in the kitchen. They are already shelled, so really easy to grab some and end up eating 900 calories in a couple of hours. I don't want my bingeing problem to keep me from having healthy food (if eaten in moderation) in the house. Wish me luck!
5/18 - 176.4
5/19 - DNW - Well, no surprise, I did not eat the pecans I bought in just my oatmeal as planned. I was working in my workshop (silver jewelry, enamel, lampwork), and every single time I came in the house I ate some and added salt. The remains of the first 1lb bag are now in the freezer with the other unopen bags. My husband does not like pecans so I can't count on him to eat them. He's always been my garbage disposal for things that I buy impulsively. However, two years ago he changed his diet due to high blood pressure and stomach issues. After he went off all gluten and sugar, his blood pressure dropped from 150s to the 120s, and his stomach issues are gone. He's naturally thin but he looks so much healthier. I'm thankful for his improved health and healthy way of living. Neither of us eat processed foods, EXCEPT me during the sporatic binges I go on, which can pack the pounds on. I just can't have the trigger foods in the house. Back on plan today, and lots and lots of water!!

5/16 - 176.6
5/17 - 176.4
5/18 - 176.4
5/19 - DNW
5/20 - DNW
5/21 - 179.6 - Well, that was quite the jump. Most of it will hopefully come off over the next days, but some of it was me slowly starting to increase my food consumption and reduce how much I'm moving. New day, new chance to focus!
5/22 - 178.6

5/23 - 177.6 - Okay, I'm good with this, especially after I went nuts literally eating pecans. If I hate playing catch-up so much why in the world do I binge, or why do I consider it catch-up since having unplanned off days is almost impossible not to have when it's a long journey? Right now, I also have 159.8 in my mind that I'm trying to get back to even though that's not my final goal weight, it's just where I got to sometime the past year, before I regained 20 pounds back.

5/24

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

"Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Comments pertain to previous day

SW RND 260
5/16 134.5 Not surprised - those Fat Boy ice cream sandwiches after bingo are making me a fat girl - just kidding (only once a month)
5/17 130.5 Also not too surprised. This is what happens when I have a really good day. Drank at least 100 oz of water plus coffee and 1 Coke Zero.
5/18 133.0 Had very salty ham for OMAD “brunch” then went to “work” at DD’s school.
5/19 133.0
5/20 133.0 Worked at the school yesterday and will again today.
5/21 133.0 Support staff prepared lunch for teachers and others-first pasta and garlic bread I’ve had in about 7 years. Back to the library today.
5/22 134.0 Result of pasta and bread? DSIL brought lunch from Chipotle. I got a salad with barbacoa, cheese, guacamole-not sure 2 green pepper strips really count as fajita veg. Tomorrow night we’re going to an Italian restaurant with friends. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️Back to the library today to finish up.
5/23 132.5 The library is done. Italian dinner cancelled and DH and I have a lun-ner date with our friends who like Golden Corral more than we do. 🤦‍♀️ Fasting until then.

SW Round 260: 222.4
Goals:
1. Close my rings every day
2. Walk 6k+ steps
3. Daily food logs

It’s a marathon not a race!

SW RND 260
5/16 222.6
5/17 222.4
5/18 223.4 late night meal wasn’t such a good idea

5/19 223.6 it’s not a loss but I’m okay with this. Lower activity yesterday and I realized yesterday that I need to up my water intake. I’m only drinking half what I thought was. I have a new goal for the next round.

5/20 223.4 graduation festivities are over. Hoping to get on track for some solid weight loss the rest of the month.

5/21 221.6 yesterday was a good day. Hoping to replicate today.

5/22 222.2

5/23 222.0 happy the trend is down and not stable or up. I have to keep reminding myself slow and steady = lifestyle changes I can maintain.

05/21 -188.2- (Trend weight186.7)

05/22 -186.0- (Trend weight186.9) Whoosh. It was a good day yesterday except in the world of exercise. I shed so much water that I’m sure the drop was all water weight but it feels great to get rid of the stomach bloat. Its beautiful here today. Maybe I’ll get out and walk around my cul-de-sac a few times (uphill). I can’t go far with my contractors here.

05/23 -185.6- (Trend weight186.9) I was expecting an uptick today. Although I stayed within my calories (eating up part of my exercise calories) my carbs were over by about 10 due to the pasta/lasagna. I have leftovers for today (for lunch) so I don’t know if it all will finally catch up to me or if I can get away with it. I plan on making sure my dinner is lower carb to offset it all. Probably bacon & eggs today as a breakfast for dinner. I’m trying to use up some of the food in my freezer. Or shall I say “Freezers”. I have 3 of them and they are all over-full. There is no reason I can’t be mindful of my macros and still eat food I already have. I’m usually careful about my shopping choices anyway. I will have to pre-plan and pre-log for sure. My weight is slowly going in the right direction and I don’t want to compromise that.

BIL passed away early this AM in south Brazil where they are trying to recover from catastrophic flooding. He was quite ill for some time but these are times for extended family there. Feeling kind of helpless to support them.

I'm so so sorry for your loss. I'm sure your family feels your support from afar. Sending so much love your way!<3

Just give me 10 days RND 260
Faye, Oregon 🌲🚴🏻‍♀️🌲🚴🏻‍♀️🌲
53, 5’1”
SW 1/27/24 158.2
GW 125-130

RND 257 start 153.0 end 151.6 (-1.4)
RND 258 start 152.4 end 151.4 (+1.0) didn’t weigh on last 2 days
RND 259 start 154.0 end 154.8 (+.8)

Goal: no snacking after dinner, get calories in before 7pm, water 💦 Adding limiting flour and sugar as they make me feel 👎🏻

5/16 153.8, been working on no snacking after dinner or in between meals unless legit hungry.
5/17 153.2 busy day, didn’t post
5/18 153.8 ate out after son’s graduation and had a cocktail. Not surprised at the bump, will stay on plan today.
5/19 153.2 Didn’t stay on plan, went to a birthday party and enjoyed the pavlova, skipped the cake. Then wanted sugar, ate a milkshake with dinner. Woke up feeling frustrated with myself
5/20 152.6 Had a cleaner day of eating yesterday. Have been able to walk the last two days and so that has been good for my mind and body as it’s been a long 3.5 months with little to no activity due to my back. Got some opinions from neurosurgeons this week and will likely go with injections first and if that doesn’t help then surgery. I don’t want surgery but am concerned that the disc bulge will not go away with injections. If removed by surgery then hopefully I’d never have that pain again. Anyone out there have bulging discs? Curious what has helped others.
5/21 153.2 late on posting, busy day.
5/22 152.0 posting late again. Super proud of myself, husband is eating peanut butter cups (a fave) and I have not had any. My goal is stay away from sugar.
5/23 151.6 we are going away for the weekend and it is normally a Trader Joe’s snack fest. My husband started in last night and I declined. My plan is to stay accountable here and choose non-processed food, no refined sugar when others are having treats. I’m doing well, and those foods with “no brakes” will not be helpful for my continued weight loss and pain issues/inflammation.
