    NSV FOR THE WIN!

    Nine months ago, I decided I wanted to build my agility/ flexibility/balance/strength, to embrace with vigor my golden years - changing my username to Chapter_3 and a new identity of #HSF (Healthy, Strong, Fit)

    I decided what was most important was to age “younger” and to begin a journey toward the
    📣 #bestshapeofmylife📣

    Well, this morning, just now, everything became real.

    I’m walking a brisk pace on the sidewalk and felt my right foot scuff the pavement - I’m going DOWN. I lost my balance but quickly I thought I am NOT going to fall flat on my face - just gently catch myself, tuck and roll. OMG. The first thing I did was look to see if anyone was around because I was mortified and completely embarrassed that I had almost fallen flat on my face & broken several bones in my body… But instead, I just have a tiny little scuff mark on my right knee.

    This is my WHY. I picked myself up, brushed myself off and started all over again - finishing 5 miles in 70 min. Not bad for an old MawMaw! I even stopped to smell the roses 🌹💪🏻🙌🏻👊🏻

    Last year I would’ve pulled or broken something & turned around and walked home crying… I would’ve gone to the ER. But instead, I’m writing you my BEST NSV to date!

    If I can keep going so can you!!!
    Onward!

    @Chapter_3 I'm so glad you are okay. Quick thinking and great attitude!

    8/4 DNW (using 131.0 as start)
    8/5 135.0
    ✅Level Up! 🚫 no logging or 📝 since Friday 8/2 - I weighed 131.0. Yesterday:🚶‍♀️8k 💤6hrs

    I went off “plan” this past weekend, but did NOT go “off the rails”. When I stepped on the scale I thought, I’m gonna weigh 135 and sure enough I was 100% accurate! I feel like a BLOB.

    When I was out with the girls Sat, I was “good” but I drank 2 mezcals w/fresh lime… one piece of Keylime pie. Lots of mineral water… Yesterday we went to lunch with friends - had an “organic” Wagu pita sandwich and an ice cream cone last night. Still, plenty water. Saturday - 🚶‍♀️10k, 🏋️‍♀️ And I played three hours of tennis yesterday morn before lunch…. My body simply amazes me. Craves routine, then short-circuits when I choose to take a detour. REVOLUTION! It really is a total system and mine needs routine. I’m guessing it’ll take me three days off 💦💦💦and ROUTINE to remove the bloat. What a way to start a round!!
    Will analyze “me” today, track and reset! Just give me EIGHT DAYS!
    Let’s go!

    8/6 ✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶‍♀️12k 💤8hrs, 🏋️‍♀️20 min
    P:E = 2:1, P= 124g

    ⚖️ I do expect ⚖️to drop more today/tomorrow… I literally saw puffs/pockets of fluid all over my body yesterday. What a trip! I don’t know what I ate that sent me into this zone … Maybe restaurant food, hidden seed-oils, crab boil, inducing wacko- bio-rhythms / “system-failure”. My body is probably saying “what the heck did you do to me?!!!!” To gain 4lbs and lose 2 practically overnight is NOT healthy. And, it didn’t feel good. I felt terrible - not psychologically for “going off plan/routine” but physically. Still coming out of the fog.

    Yesterday was a good day re-entering normalcy. Continue to reset today.

    NSV: Lesson learned: stick to what works to keep steady/even routine. I also learned that if something is too difficult to track – don’t eat it.

    8/7 131.2
    ✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶‍♀️13k 💤7hrs, 🏋️‍♀️20min 🎾
    P:E = 2:1, P= 99g 💦💦💦

    I pre-logged nutrition yesterday — then forgot to drink my protein shake… so protein under but ratio good. 💦💦💦 is key.

    I’m still in amazement of how I spiked 4lbs and then ⬇️. I am grateful that I understand it was a “systems/routine” conundrum and not what I put in my mouth - only when. 🏋️‍♀️ heavy yesterday- progressing. Today will be another day getting back in routine. Meeting a dear friend for coffee this morning - visiting with her will be a real treat.
    🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🎾📝 💦.

    ✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶‍♀️15k 💤8hrs, 🏋️‍♀️15 min 🎾
    P:E = 1.36:1, P= 109g 💦💦💦

    Woke up with a slightly bruised shoulder from the fall … annoying. Cant keep me down.

    Did not eat enough yesterday. Needed to eat some protein after tennis but just too tired so I showered and went to bed. Under eating days like yesterday never show up on the scale. 😃😎. Definitely back on routine today.

    Night tennis impacts my systems negatively…. But gosh I love it! (Rough sleep & dehydration).

    Will have a good day today once I wake up! And ☕️…

    PS: 16 years ago today 08/08/08 my DH popped the question…. We are celebrating over coffee this morn and steak 🥩 tonight….
    Ahhhhhh the simple life. I’m blessed!

    @fmfdfa2020: Oh my goodness, just saw your post- I'm so sorry for what you're going through, I've heard that kidney stones are incredibly painful. Take care and hope that your surgery goes smoothly!
