2023 Round History 2024 Round History Goal Weight

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.

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 !!🙌🏻

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 💪🏻!

✅🥩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 🏋️‍♀️!

✅🥩112g 📝🚶‍♀️7.5k 🛏️💤 7hrs
