/sort of logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
I guess “sort of logged” is like being sort of pregnant.
Started this round with a woosh. Let’s see if I can hang on to it.
6/6: 218.6
/logged food; exercised; 80+ oz water/
I want to learn to love a “drop on the scale” more than I love a “snack on the tongue.” Very hard for me to practice delayed gratification when it comes to food. I do better in other areas of my life.
DGS (age 7) was with us a bit yesterday. He is letting DW give him some piano lessons, for now. And, we played a game of chess. He is about my speed. But I obliterated him. HA! Actually he shows a lot of patience along with his frustration.
6/7: 219.2
/logged; didn’t really exercise; 66 oz water./
I didn’t really exercise, but I was on-the-go all day.
I attended the second of four funerals in this two week period… first two were for good friends (unrelated) who died way too early and quickly from pancreatic cancer. Both are “in a better place now” as we like to say. They showed us both how to live and how to die. Inspiring. Third funeral today.
Speaking of food focused social events, tonight is our monthly get together with fellow former employees of an architectural firm. First Friday of the month. I call it an alumni association. We take turns picking the place and this month is my turn. Good opportunity to make a good choice (maybe no fries? Skimp on the bread? Drink mostly water? Enjoy conversation more than food?) I will be happy to hit on at least two of these.
6/8: 222.2
/No, yes, 66 oz water/
Todays gain is everything I ate yesterday plus the retained water due to salt fest. It is still in there. I did meet a couple goals last night, but the funeral meal at noon was the game changer.
Thanks to all for hugs.
6/9: 220.0
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
Did some fishing with DS and DGS yesterday. DGS wanted to give our fishing team a name. That was so cute! We settled on Epic 3G Fishing Team. 3G stands for 3 generations. DGS major contribution was investigation of our fishing site for bones and abandoned fishing tackle. Ha!
Went to a local festival last night and enjoyed an Eagles tribute band. It was good. So was the strawberry shortcake.
6/10: 219.2
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
Only one more day under 220 to reach goal #4. Need to make it happen tomorrow.
6/4: 221.2
SW on day before this round.
6/11: 218.8
/logged; exercised; 75 oz water/
Aaaand there is goal #4. My average so far this round is actually under 220, so I wonder if I can make that stick.
One thing I could do is stop eating back so many of my exercise calories. I tend to get very happy about my exercise and cheat. I should set a limit on exercise calories I am allowed to snarf.

R262 Habits:
✅🏋️♀️20 min/ day or 30 min 4x per week. RECORD DETAIL.
✅ 🙏📝 🧐60 min 5x /week (Pray, journal, and research)
✅🥩110g -130g of protein
✅🛏️💤 tracking sleep
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. ✅Clean Ketovore 110-130g Protein
7. ✅HH Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM.
8. ✅💦80oz daily
9. ✅Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
10. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is inconsistent the last few rounds…
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. 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 130lbs 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, rotating 110g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable.
Let’s do R262 !!🙌🏻
Todays ⚖️/ Yesterday’s #HSF & Reflections
*Previous*
*********************************
SW RND 262 ⚖️129lbs
6/5 ⚖️129.0
✅🏋️♀️15min 🥩133g 🚶♀️13k📝 🛏️💤💦. ALL!
Not sure I like a whoosh at the beginning of a round… But I’ll take it. There’s just something about being under 130 that brightens ☀️the world around me. I sincerely believe the scale reflects a full DEEP eight hours sleep last night. My variation ⬆️⬇️ last few rounds was definitely due to lack of sleep - NOT food or activity level…
Does anyone know the science behind this phenomenon of SLEEP? What happens in your body?
Yesterday was 🥵HOT with the highest humidity so far this summer… and I walked 5 mi in it… Don’t think I’ll be doing that again - was 💯 wiped out the rest of the day. Visited with DGS and took a nap. Successful with 🏋️♀️!
Spent at least two hours studying macros and have decided to stay pretty much where I am - increasing proteins a little with moderate fat. Staying whole food with ultra low-carb because I simply feel better …
🍀Good luck 🍀 to everyone this round!
6/6 ⚖️129.0 - this stuck?
✅🏋️♀️15min 🥩125g 🚶♀️9.5k📝 🛏️💤💦 & 🎾… ALL!
Slept 8 hrs. 😲Feels so good I have to pinch myself! (I’ve started taking magnesium, which I think is helping with sleep). Also accomplished, all of my activity goals… A winning day!
Today will be same. My body really loves routine… Will give it to her again today.
NSV-Went to watch my 🎾team play a league match last night on a sweltering summer eve… Contemplated enjoying a beer, but then I thought, let’s see if u enjoy the eve with some ice cold water vs a beer? I did! I had a wonderful evening, enjoying a tasty water w /LMNT (electrolyte drink) 🙌🏻. I learned that I don’t have to go with my first impulse and can negotiate a better option… I still do this “thoughtful negotiation” quite often, and maybe it will be with me for a lifetime… but… I’m willing to persist/embrace this new norm. #HSF
6/7 ⚖️129.0
✅🥩137g 🚶♀️10k📝 🛏️💤💦.
🚫🏋️♀️
129lbs again… Three days in a row. 7 hrs sleep! My body fat percentage has slightly improved… I skipped 🏋️♀️ yesterday - rest. Wonderful walk. Keeping protein up. Prayer, reading, and reflection yesterday.
I am experiencing more and more, the triad of healthy mind, body and spirit. I honestly can’t ever remember this active, real congruence in my life. There was always at least one component off-kilter. Feeling blessed beyond measure.
Our “tough love” situation is slowly improving. Don’t want to get our hopes up, but I am allowing myself to be gently optimistic. There was a small situation yesterday that we could’ve caved, but I had time to think about it & remained steadfast.
NSV: Keeping my #HSF “routine” through emotional upheavals & stress the past several months, is a win that I simply cannot adequately describe… This group /challenge played a significant supportive role. Thank you! I must acknowledge that I am learning & processing real helpful habits. But I am also aware that I’m just a few decisions away from “lapse”.
I think the most important lesson that I have learned is to force myself to slow down, stay in the present, and truly process information before reacting. My impulsivity is diminishing. To go from “reaction” to choosing an action. It started with food choices, and now I’m experiencing positive results in other areas of my life. Staying in the present moment & mindfulness is hard work. Time is an underrated commodity.

✅🏋️♀️10min 🥩132g 🚶♀️9k📝 🛏️💤 - 8 hrs !!!
Only 10 minutes of 🏋️♀️yesterday. I’ve been doing 🏋️♀️“snacks” in 10 minute snippets… Consistent in the morning, but not so much in the afternoon. I’ll definitely get it all done today.
DGS Birthday celebration is today. I’m looking forward to seeing his delight!
DH is cycling in N. Alabama. Making up for his cancelled trip to Arkansas. Eating for one is super easy!
I hope everyone has a great weekend! #HSF 💪🏻
6/9 ⚖️130.2
✅🏋️♀️25min 🥩89g 🚶♀️5k 🛏️💤 - 6hrs
Started out strong 🏋️♀️yesterday, but ended up, not as active. I didn’t eat badly yesterday it just wasn’t routine… I ate less protein, a minuscule piece of cookie cake & dinner later than usual. My body craves routine (widows the ⚖️) , and yesterday wasn’t having it.
NSV: I challenged myself to a trip down the waterslide 🎢 and it was a blast! I was nervous, but said what the heck… I had so much fun at DGS birthday party!
Today: Tennis and hubby gets home late!
6/10 130.4lbs
✅🏋️♀️30min 🎾2hrs 🥩121g 🚶♀️8.5k 🛏️💤 - 5hrs
Solid day ⬆️. But poor sleep last night. Hoping for nap today.
NSV: I’m thinking I failed to put the waterslide into context… I’m actually accomplishing #NSV… One year ago, I never would’ve gone down the waterslide… My goal is to “live young” for as long as I can… Waterslide is indeed “leveling up” (Not “down” right?) Cause it’s not the scale!!! 😎
6/11 ⚖️ 130.4
✅🥩112g 📝🚶♀️11.5k 🛏️💤 7hrs
Solid nap. 🚫🏋️♀️- was a little sore. Super hot day. Sleepy all day. Perfect for Piddleling. Let’s finish 💪🏻!

6/11 214.4 I didn’t drink as much water and my activity wasn’t as high as it has been, so I’m okay with this number. I was still active and still under my calorie goal.

~ We were in walking distance of local bars and food. My plan was to consciously walk a lot and I did do that, but not because I got up and walked the beach as I planned but because we HAD to walk to do anything and avoid beach traffic. Last round I wrote that I was nervous I wouldn’t come back here but I definitely did. **small win for me**

@_JeffreyD_ I have often wondered why people eat back the exercise calories since it seems to me that the idea is to burn calories. Back in the day, WW “allowed” you to eat back half of what you had earned IF you felt you needed to. I finally “googled” it.

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 262 132.5
6/5 132.5 Glad to see this number stick around. Tough day ahead.
6/6 132.5
6/7 133.5 Endocrinologist appt yesterday went well. I need to have a spinal X-ray and additional bloodwork before we discuss what is appropriate osteoporosis treatment for me. My next appointment is in August. I promised my friend that I would be at water fitness this morning. It was 88*F before 6:30 this morning, now sunny and 92. Supposed to be record breaking high this afternoon.
6/8 134.0 Had a Prime rib dip for lunch yesterday OMAD. Ate the whole thing minus part of the roll. Couldn’t get to sleep last night.
6/9 133.5 Taking neighbor widow to Great Greek for lunch.
6/10 134.0 I know I’m eating my emotions
6/11 133.5 water fitness yesterday and going back to the gym today. I need to do it for my bones.7 -

RGW-170 Thank you @quiltingjaine !!!🌸
6/5-176
6/6-174-Had 1/2 of a sourdough roll all other food was on track. Rode the horse and did housework. The evening before I did yard work until it got dark. It’s still 90 degrees here after dinner…it’s bearable but you sweat like crazy.
6/7-173-Good choices and no alcohol but lots of water and iced tea. Worked on the drip and it was 100 degrees, so, I brought it all inside and would assemble it inside and go out and install it. That made it bearable. Today won’t be as hot. Garden and horse in the morning.
6/8-173-Finished the worst part of my drip project then turned it on to water.Many hours later, after I was showered and sitting in bed and winding down……. I realized I never manually turned it off.🤦♀️
DH was asleep on the couch as I tiptoed outside to find my precious pollinator garden floating at 11:30 p.m. Oh well, everything should survive the heat!
Off to my dad’s house to see my sister and cousin to go over boxes of old family photos. Made a loaf of (evil) garlic herb bread to take, that I just want to taste. Dad eats keto and BBQ’s great and the food is always good.
6/10-176-Left over weekend weight gain.The worst part of the heat is over. Still more to do before the whole yard is on drip. Not a crazy day but it will get warm, so I need to do as much as I can this
morning.
6/11-176-Not good food choices. Got the worst of my drip done. Now I just need to wait for my seedlings to grow to plant. I do have African Daisies that reseeded themselves at MIL’s that I transplanted and can put them in the ground today. There is always something to do and I need to get as much done now because I’ll go fishing for a week in July and it will be hot and everything needs to be in the ground and on drip. The yoga studio has been getting remolded and I don’t know if it has opened back up. Another hot day.6 -

End-of-2024 Goals—weight 170, walking 5 miles most days.
Day. Weight. Comments.
6/05 - 198
Phooey.
6/06 - 197.6
I’ve decided to follow the Mayo Clinic diet, starting yesterday. It is science based with an emphasis on fresh veggies, whole grains, healthy fats, not much meat, and exercise, which is essentially what worked for me when I lost 40# in 2015-16. It’s also an approach that won’t cause havoc with the chef, aka DH. 😊 I finally, finally, finally feel motivated.
6/07 - 197
So far, so good. I wanted to snack last night, but nibbled 1/3 cup of blueberries and that satisfied the urge.
6/08 - 197
Stayed on track yesterday calorie wise, but we ordered out for late lunch/early dinner. DH wanted pasta, so I got just meatballs, no sauce. Lots of sodium, I think. Anyway, I’m sticking to the plan, so all good.
6/09 - 197.6
Man, this is frustrating. My calories the past 4 days have been 1173, 1224, 1179, 1283, and I’ve been walking and gardening, and after thinking I was headed down, boom, I obviously am not. I know I shouldn’t dwell on day to day ups & downs, but it is frustrating. Maybe I should weigh once a week or once a round so I don’t get slapped in the face by my scale so often. Ugh.
6/10 - 196.8
Finally!
6/11 - 197.4
Ugh. Calories yesterday 1320–hardly a blowout. And yet…. I did eat brunch out, just 2 eggs and 2 strips of bacon, but maybe the extra salt… I don’t know. I’m so fed up—literally! Next round I think I will just weigh at the end.

R262 Starting Weight:182.6
HW: 183.2This is my first round, but not my first journey. 10 years ago I went on a fitness journey and lost 50 lbs. Now it is 2 babies later, 20 lbs heavier and 10 years older than the start of the first journey. I recently eliminated/started working on all of the stress in my life. I got myself to therapy to work through ADHD and FINALLY got outside to start my garden! I have been going on walks almost every morning and am ready to keep up my fitness habits finally.
I am here to take back control of my life, one small step at a time. I am looking to have 10 straight days of better habits
6/5: 182.6- Starting off in a pretty positive mood (even though I am deep into my 2nd day of my period
). My birthday is in 2 days and there is lots of time off work coming up this month to spend by myself and with my family!
6/6: 181.8- Insanely tired today but a lot to do. These are the days I usually end up with a surplus of calories! My youngest is having a moving up ceremony at daycare tonight to move up to Pre-K. How the time flies....
6/7: Birthdayyyyyy. Did not weigh and ate a whole lot of cake
6/8: 181.4- Breakfast, shopping & finally cleaned out my garage to be able to work out! However, no time today= a whole lot of quick/high calorie foods.
6/9: 182.3- My oldest had his final soccer game of the season. He inspires me constantly to get off my butt and go have fun.
6/10: 181.6- My weekend was craaazzzyyy. I had maybe 15 minutes of downtime each day. But I am feeling good! Usually that would mean that I absolutely BINGE on a whole lot of quick food to get through it. That may have been true on Saturday, but it was one day so I am ok with it. It's getting a bit easier to not feel hungry 24/7. Plus, I am learning to keep better snacks around me that will keep me full instead of grabbing every sugary snack laying around.
6/11: 181.4- Weighing every day is definitely interesting. I keep feeling like I should have lost more weight but it legit hasn't even been a week yet! However, I think it is helping to keep me honest with myself. When I weighed weekly, I would give up the second I saw that number go up instead of down.

2. Daily exercise; at least some movement…
3. Drink 90 oz. water.
4. Break 220 at least five times.

This is my posting format….

Previous posts:
6/5: 219.2
/sort of logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
I guess “sort of logged” is like being sort of pregnant.
Started this round with a woosh. Let’s see if I can hang on to it.
6/6: 218.6
/logged food; exercised; 80+ oz water/
I want to learn to love a “drop on the scale” more than I love a “snack on the tongue.” Very hard for me to practice delayed gratification when it comes to food. I do better in other areas of my life.
DGS (age 7) was with us a bit yesterday. He is letting DW give him some piano lessons, for now. And, we played a game of chess. He is about my speed. But I obliterated him. HA! Actually he shows a lot of patience along with his frustration.
6/7: 219.2
/logged; didn’t really exercise; 66 oz water./
I didn’t really exercise, but I was on-the-go all day.
I attended the second of four funerals in this two week period… first two were for good friends (unrelated) who died way too early and quickly from pancreatic cancer. Both are “in a better place now” as we like to say. They showed us both how to live and how to die. Inspiring. Third funeral today.
Speaking of food focused social events, tonight is our monthly get together with fellow former employees of an architectural firm. First Friday of the month. I call it an alumni association. We take turns picking the place and this month is my turn. Good opportunity to make a good choice (maybe no fries? Skimp on the bread? Drink mostly water? Enjoy conversation more than food?) I will be happy to hit on at least two of these.
6/8: 222.2
/No, yes, 66 oz water/
Todays gain is everything I ate yesterday plus the retained water due to salt fest. It is still in there. I did meet a couple goals last night, but the funeral meal at noon was the game changer.
Thanks to all for hugs.
6/9: 220.0
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
Did some fishing with DS and DGS yesterday. DGS wanted to give our fishing team a name. That was so cute! We settled on Epic 3G Fishing Team. 3G stands for 3 generations. DGS major contribution was investigation of our fishing site for bones and abandoned fishing tackle. Ha!
Went to a local festival last night and enjoyed an Eagles tribute band. It was good. So was the strawberry shortcake.
6/10: 219.2
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
Only one more day under 220 to reach goal #4. Need to make it happen tomorrow.
6/4: 221.2
SW on day before this round.
6/11: 218.8
/logged; exercised; 75 oz water/
Aaaand there is goal #4. My average so far this round is actually under 220, so I wonder if I can make that stick.
One thing I could do is stop eating back so many of my exercise calories. I tend to get very happy about my exercise and cheat. I should set a limit on exercise calories I am allowed to snarf.

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.

Not much to say except I'm still at it! Felt some time this weekend missing how I used to look. Trying to summon those feelings into motivation as I CAN and WILL have that back! I just miss myself. I don't recognize myself at this size.

A quick summary of me: I gave birth last year and am still breastfeeding, which makes things a bit tricky. I did not lose any weight from breastfeeding. However, I am feeling ready to start losing, no matter how slowly!
Highest Weight (January 2023): 199.4 lbs

I must admit that one of the reasons that I walk so many miles is so that I can eat a bit more or even a treat or two, my body seems to be able to exist on so few calories with my slow metabolism!!! 😉

06/10 -DNW- (Trend weightDNW) Not such a good day yesterday due to a celebration cake. We have one who graduated from Head Start to Kindergarten, one who graduated from Kindergarten to 1st grade and one going to 2nd grade. We celebrated it all at once with one cake and one gathering. The cake frosting was too sweet, I did remove about half of it. Today I have a special tradesman coming to use a “break” which puts the white metal around my bay window and my bow window. Otherwise, no work is being done inside today. It should be a good day for my pre-logged diet. I also plan on pulling a lot of weeds today as it’s getting out of hand. The lawn guy will be here to mow later this evening. I’m feeling a little lazy right now. Hopefully the coffee will kick in. Tomorrow I travel to the cardiologist pretty early so I will be posting and reading your entries late.
06/11 -DNW- (Trend weightDNW) Cardiologist appt went well but I do have to have another nuclear stress test done due to some mild but very regular chest pains. They will check for more possible blockages needing more stents. I had breakfast after the appointment out-of-town choosing breakfast foods which would lend itself to less carbs overall and more moderate calories. However, we still can’t control what is in the recipes when it’s restaurant food so I am still on high alert tonight and tomorrow at the very least. I skipped lunch and dinner will be later this evening here at home. No more appointments or social engagements until Saturday. I need the upcoming 3 days in a row to get things stabilized.

@deepwoodslady
Donna - so glad to hear your cardiologist appointment went well. Best wishes for a turning things in your favor. 💕4 -
6/11: 181.4- Weighing every day is definitely interesting. I keep feeling like I should have lost more weight but it legit hasn't even been a week yet! However, I think it is helping to keep me honest with myself. When I weighed weekly, I would give up the second I saw that number go up instead of down.

I was surprised by how much weighing every day helped me, too! It’s more of a journal to see how different things affect my weight. A learning experience for sure.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 262 (my 192nd). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; to lose! I need to be consistent and lose something; to get back into the 130s, should be able to break that 140 barrier now! Strive to have a feeding frenzy free round😊. Good luck everyone for success.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.

6/12 174.4 That still feels like a crazy low number but I definitely refueled yesterday. Hello stromboli for dinner. To finish this round under 175 would be very motivating.
I had play time at the park with a friends child. I am the adult who shows kids how to do fun (and maybe dangerous) tricks on the swings. It was a workout!

@quiltingjaine I never said "I need to. "

F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. 🚫 processed foods. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010. Lost 16lbs Aug-Dec 2023.

Let’s Go! 💪🏻🙌🏻⚡️
R262 Habits:
✅🏋️♀️20 min/ day or 30 min 4x per week. RECORD DETAIL.
✅ 🙏📝 🧐60 min 5x /week (Pray, journal, and research)
✅🥩110g -130g of protein
✅🛏️💤 tracking sleep
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. ✅Clean Ketovore 110-130g Protein
7. ✅HH Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM.
8. ✅💦80oz daily
9. ✅Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
10. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is inconsistent the last few rounds…
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. 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 130lbs 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, rotating 110g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable.
Let’s do R262 !!🙌🏻
Todays ⚖️/ Yesterday’s #HSF & Reflections
*Previous*
*********************************
SW RND 262 ⚖️129lbs
6/5 ⚖️129.0
✅🏋️♀️15min 🥩133g 🚶♀️13k📝 🛏️💤💦. ALL!
Not sure I like a whoosh at the beginning of a round… But I’ll take it. There’s just something about being under 130 that brightens ☀️the world around me. I sincerely believe the scale reflects a full DEEP eight hours sleep last night. My variation ⬆️⬇️ last few rounds was definitely due to lack of sleep - NOT food or activity level…
Does anyone know the science behind this phenomenon of SLEEP? What happens in your body?
Yesterday was 🥵HOT with the highest humidity so far this summer… and I walked 5 mi in it… Don’t think I’ll be doing that again - was 💯 wiped out the rest of the day. Visited with DGS and took a nap. Successful with 🏋️♀️!
Spent at least two hours studying macros and have decided to stay pretty much where I am - increasing proteins a little with moderate fat. Staying whole food with ultra low-carb because I simply feel better …
🍀Good luck 🍀 to everyone this round!
6/6 ⚖️129.0 - this stuck?
✅🏋️♀️15min 🥩125g 🚶♀️9.5k📝 🛏️💤💦 & 🎾… ALL!
Slept 8 hrs. 😲Feels so good I have to pinch myself! (I’ve started taking magnesium, which I think is helping with sleep). Also accomplished, all of my activity goals… A winning day!
Today will be same. My body really loves routine… Will give it to her again today.
NSV-Went to watch my 🎾team play a league match last night on a sweltering summer eve… Contemplated enjoying a beer, but then I thought, let’s see if u enjoy the eve with some ice cold water vs a beer? I did! I had a wonderful evening, enjoying a tasty water w /LMNT (electrolyte drink) 🙌🏻. I learned that I don’t have to go with my first impulse and can negotiate a better option… I still do this “thoughtful negotiation” quite often, and maybe it will be with me for a lifetime… but… I’m willing to persist/embrace this new norm. #HSF
6/7 ⚖️129.0
✅🥩137g 🚶♀️10k📝 🛏️💤💦.
🚫🏋️♀️
129lbs again… Three days in a row. 7 hrs sleep! My body fat percentage has slightly improved… I skipped 🏋️♀️ yesterday - rest. Wonderful walk. Keeping protein up. Prayer, reading, and reflection yesterday.
I am experiencing more and more, the triad of healthy mind, body and spirit. I honestly can’t ever remember this active, real congruence in my life. There was always at least one component off-kilter. Feeling blessed beyond measure.
Our “tough love” situation is slowly improving. Don’t want to get our hopes up, but I am allowing myself to be gently optimistic. There was a small situation yesterday that we could’ve caved, but I had time to think about it & remained steadfast.
NSV: Keeping my #HSF “routine” through emotional upheavals & stress the past several months, is a win that I simply cannot adequately describe… This group /challenge played a significant supportive role. Thank you! I must acknowledge that I am learning & processing real helpful habits. But I am also aware that I’m just a few decisions away from “lapse”.
I think the most important lesson that I have learned is to force myself to slow down, stay in the present, and truly process information before reacting. My impulsivity is diminishing. To go from “reaction” to choosing an action. It started with food choices, and now I’m experiencing positive results in other areas of my life. Staying in the present moment & mindfulness is hard work. Time is an underrated commodity.

6/8 ⚖️129.1
✅🏋️♀️10min 🥩132g 🚶♀️9k📝 🛏️💤 - 8 hrs !!!
Only 10 minutes of 🏋️♀️yesterday. I’ve been doing 🏋️♀️“snacks” in 10 minute snippets… Consistent in the morning, but not so much in the afternoon. I’ll definitely get it all done today.
DGS Birthday celebration is today. I’m looking forward to seeing his delight!
DH is cycling in N. Alabama. Making up for his cancelled trip to Arkansas. Eating for one is super easy!
I hope everyone has a great weekend! #HSF 💪🏻
6/9 ⚖️130.2
✅🏋️♀️25min 🥩89g 🚶♀️5k 🛏️💤 - 6hrs
Started out strong 🏋️♀️yesterday, but ended up, not as active. I didn’t eat badly yesterday it just wasn’t routine… I ate less protein, a minuscule piece of cookie cake & dinner later than usual. My body craves routine (widows the ⚖️) , and yesterday wasn’t having it.
NSV: I challenged myself to a trip down the waterslide 🎢 and it was a blast! I was nervous, but said what the heck… I had so much fun at DGS birthday party!
Today: Tennis and hubby gets home late!
6/10 130.4lbs
✅🏋️♀️30min 🎾2hrs 🥩121g 🚶♀️8.5k 🛏️💤 - 5hrs
Solid day ⬆️. But poor sleep last night. Hoping for nap today.
NSV: I’m thinking I failed to put the waterslide into context… I’m actually accomplishing #NSV… One year ago, I never would’ve gone down the waterslide… My goal is to “live young” for as long as I can… Waterslide is indeed “leveling up” (Not “down” right?) Cause it’s not the scale!!! 😎
6/11 ⚖️ 130.4
✅🥩112g 📝🚶♀️11.5k 🛏️💤 7hrs
Solid nap. 🚫🏋️♀️- was a little sore. Super hot day. Sleepy all day. Perfect for Piddleling. Let’s finish 💪🏻!
6/12 ⚖️130.2
✅🥩122g 📝🚶♀️8.5k 🛏️💤 7hrs
🚫🏋️♀️
Yesterday was strange. I got off schedule/routine. Was off-kilter but ok. Stayed on track - just discombobulated. Today will be a much better day. Will 🏋️♀️! #HSF!
