About Me & R272 Commitments:
********************************F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (ProteinG> (Cg+Fg) A clean/whole food WOE- (🚫processed foods). Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.

👇🏻Sept Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Sept:
1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and kcals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan. It is supposed to support muscle gain with fat loss while 🏋🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️ 🎾. I will continue to track NSVs/macros/ activities, etc. to learn about my body.
2. 🙏📝📚🧐 - I will continue to pray, journal, research. This is my aspect of “leveling up” because I am nothing without my relationship w/Jesus Christ. I’ve also grown into loving/enjoying learning about my body & healthy aging. Replacing BAD habits w/ GOOD habits is a journey in itself. This practice helps me stay present /mindful of many decisions/ thoughts/ actions that impact not only nutrition, but improves self-talk & interactions w/others.
3. 🏋🏼♀️this is my biggest challenge. I still don’t like it. Not one bit. I have some days that it clicks, but it’s a daily struggle. Living “fake it till I make it”… Faking my “identity”. My hope is that some 🏋️♀️version eventually becomes a healthy habit. I’m working on a minimum of 10-minute “🏋🏼♀️snacks” 2-3x per day, 5x per week. Gosh, how I wish someone, ANYONE would have told me in my earlier years that 🏋🏼♀️is the key to fat-loss / maintaining - NOT cardio. I was brainwashed.
4. Healthy Aging - includes mobility, flexibility, balance and agility. While I do stretch every morning plus “stretch snacks”… I want to up this game… I will start to add “sprints” (which is NOW only fast jogging… 😂) and plyometrics (celebrating a 2” vertical jump) 😂. I read to “sprint” is vital as we age…..
5. I have much “work” to do with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & my overall health will not flourish without this being acknowledged and improved. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until I reconcile this part of my life.
6. Sleep- This is a big one. I’m usually fast asleep by 8:30-9PM. I can’t stay up later…. I love getting up early. I’m good with a 5AM wake up but I want to sleep soundly through the night. Will continue to prioritize this key component to health and well-being…
7. Have fun… lighten up … & give myself permission to be spontaneous. (This is THE HARDEST)!!!!
👇🏻Review since my 1st R231 7/31/23 NSVs/Journey Reflections
******************
1. ✅HSF: Avg. close to 9k steps per day for 11+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - #HSF 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅#HSF: 🙆♀️ Daily stretch greatly improving my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅ #HSF 📝 🙏 everyday
4. ✅#HSF: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
5. ✅#HSF : Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
6. ✅#HSF : zero to 15g of net carbs/ day
7. ✅Clean P:E 115-130g Protein
8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
9. ✅#HSF 💦80oz daily
10. ✅#HSF Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
11. 💤 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…
Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
Rotating 115g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 128- 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

9/13 131.4 Awful sleep last night. Bummer. I feel like I’m on one of those bouncy gyms!
Solid day w/ 14k steps. Will spend today in reflection, prayer and re-creating the determined mindset for #HSF. I will start to actively show myself some TLC. I 💯 know that when I’m off-kilter it’s related to my sleep patterns…. I’m tired. And when I’m tired, I lose pretty much all of my joy. Today will be a slow start but I’ll get with it! Let’s do this yall!

#HSF mindset engaged. Focusing on personal integrity and the process. (Keep my word to myself with ZERO excuses!) I will do this for 10 days!
Wonderful day yesterday! My “Epiphany” gave me energy and direction.
My little bodybuilder 🏋️♀️emoji represents functional strength training… Not full traditional weight lifting, although I incorporate 10, 15 and 20 lb weights. I also focus on using my own body weight and calisthenics. Will fine-tune these exercises. I’m good with my current macros and PE ratio commitments although will lower fatg a bit - Looking forward!

✅🚶♀️12k📚💦
P:E 1.1:1, P 105g 🎾. 🚫🏋️♀️ for a rest day.
My body truly needs to be dedicated to science. I had a perfect day yesterday I have no clue about this scale this morning. On the one hand Im pissed - on the other hand, totally flummoxed and oh geez…. What can I learn from this? I am learning about my body, and I still have no clue after an entire year!. The only thing I can think of is that I went to sleep much later than usual and ate 2oz of cheese around 8pm. Slept like 💩. I do know my body is super sensitive so let’s see what today brings! If I can gain 2 lbs+ in one day WITHOUT REASON maybe I can lose 2lbs+ in one day! 🤣
Today: Bring it on!

Two hrs 🎾 with DGS. It’s a special treat to “try” to teach him… We had a great few hours out on the tennis court - lots of laughs.
Stretch, & 🎾 this morn. 🚶♀️ then steam. 🏋️♀️ later. Cant explain the ⚖️ except puffy & constipated. Will keep at it. Measure & track!

P:E 1.3:1, P 123g
Head cold and storms/all day rain. Managed a solid 🏋️♀️. Dragging right now but planning a good day! Head cold could dictate….
⚖️ I sincerely have no idea why the scale fluctuates so much… I can only guess it’s my unique internal “processing.” The steadier my daily routine (no eating after 6pm and routine foods), the steadier the scale. Timing & Familiarity are key.

No measure day. Slept well. Stayed within protein macros and ratios-but not sure exact other macros. Lunch: A chicken salad made with high protein Oikos yogurt. Dinner: Browned lean, ground beef and lamb with peppers/onions/garlic and added light cream cheese. Basically a stuffed bell pepper without stuffing a bell pepper😎. Too many ingredients to record. 🤓 Definitely prefer limited ingredients for tracking purposes. I also enjoyed a piece of dark chocolate.
Scrambling to get out the door. In another state tennis tournament today & tomorrow … no rain but in the 90°s…. ugh.

19/20-166-Must have had left over bloat from my trip. Started the day out with a walk and kept on moving. Ended up going on a light ride on the horse.
@quiltingjaine -Love the picture of the happy dogs in the boat! My question to you is: Since you eat keto, how do you prepare yourself to go eat sourdough products and when you did that, did your body revolt? Sorry to get so personal, but when I think I want to fully dive into keto, I am leery of the repercussions if I took days off here and there.6 -

09/18-192.4- (Trend weight-192.3-)
09/19-194.6- (Trend weight-192.6-) I got home so late last night that I didn’t have time to actually post but I did weigh yesterday morning and today so I’ve documented the weights. It was a long day doing the medical trip for my eye issues. My eye issues will eventually require surgery but it’s very risky and they want to wait until it is absolutely necessary so I’m to go back for rechecks every 6 months. The condition “eye pucker” is more common in women than men and is actually caused by old age. It’s an actual wrinkle in the back of the eye caused by an eyeball collapse of sorts. Old age….Humph. It’s more common in women because we usually live longer. They said I am pretty young (age 64) to have this condition but my eyes are aging more rapidly due to T2 diabetes. The surgery would involve removing the jelly in the back of my eye, pulling up a pucker and then filling the gap with an air bubble. What the scan looked like was an even line like a beach of sand going straight across and then suddenly a big triangular sink hole was in the center then back up to the straight beach line again. That sinkhole needs to be pulled back up. I will put a link below with what I found when I googled it this morning for anyone interested. I had never heard of this condition. I also have the start of a cataract in both eyes pretty evenly. That will also wait the doctor said as they are just beginning. Also, I have a large floater. Good news is that he did not find any bleeding vessels the other doctor told me I had. Gosh, this T2D has really wreaked havoc on me. Avoid it at all costs my friends! I was first diagnosed in 2007 when I quit smoking and very quickly gained a lot of weight. This makes losing weight all the more important to my body. I’m proud of how far I’ve come since then (I weighed 253 at one point for a very long time). However, I still have quite the road ahead. I’m planning a very careful day today to offset the overnight gain from yesterday’s trip. More travel tomorrow to my son’s dental which is about 75 miles each way. Lunch will likely be out again. I’ll try to keep it to one meal although it’s going to be another long day as I have quite a few things to do in that town in relation to my renovation. He’s the link I mentioned:
https://www.verywellhealth.com/macular-pucker-5223929
09/20-193.4- (Trend weight-193.4-) Travel today and then a quiet weekend. . I hope to be able to string some good days together with diet and exercise after the dental trip today for my son. My DGS I normally babysit for Thur – Sun fell off the jungle gym at school and got a compound fracture in his arm. He will be with his mom and dad all weekend as they await information on when he can be casted. Since they are no longer together, I hope they will get along okay spending the weekend together. My DGS had to be sent 4 hours away to a specialty children’s hospital to have it set which luckily did not require a surgery after all. Please keep Owen in your thoughts & prayers.

I’ll try to keep it to one meal although it’s going to be another long day as I have quite a few things to do in that town in relation to my renovation. He’s the link I mentioned:

09/20-193.4- (Trend weight-193.4-) Travel today and then a quiet weekend. . I hope to be able to string some good days together with diet and exercise after the dental trip today for my son. My DGS I normally babysit for Thur – Sun fell off the jungle gym at school and got a compound fracture in his arm. He will be with his mom and dad all weekend as they await information on when he can be casted. Since they are no longer together, I hope they will get along okay spending the weekend together. My DGS had to be sent 4 hours away to a specialty children’s hospital to have it set which luckily did not require a surgery after all. Please keep Owen in your thoughts & prayers.

9/13 - 198.2/198
This uptick of 1.8 in one day makes absolutely no sense. I’m officially depressed about it.
9/14 - 198/197.9
I did some “consolation eating” last night. Not too bad, but more than optimum. I’ll do better today.
9/15 - 197.4/197.8
Nothing much to report. Have a lovely Sunday, all!
9/16 - 197.4/197.6
Other than 10 Triscuits last night, I did well all day.
9/17 - 196.8/197.4
Better. Also, I realized something (thank you, @SModa61 , for the nudge with your calcium discussion!). I’ve been having terrible gut issues all spring and summer, making me afraid to be far from a bathroom so keeping me from long walks. Have tried eliminating various foods from my diet with no results. Didn’t even think about the magnesium I’ve been taking to prevent leg cramps. I’ve stopped for a bit to see if that’s it. If so, and if cramps come back, I’ll add calcium to balance it out. I actually feel better already, and am hopeful for nice long autumn and best-of-winter walks.
9/18 - 197.2/197.3
Nothing to report today. 😊
9/19 - 197.2/197.2
I’ve been keeping my calories below 1400, so sooner or later I have to lose, in theory. Just discouraging. I do like it, though, when real and trend weights line up—feels like a fresh start. 🤪
9/20 - 196.6/197
I’m having a sudden flare of rosacea on my cheek, which I believe is food related, so I’m putting myself on the Institute for Functional Medicine’s elimination diet for a bit. When I was on a doctor/dietician prescribed elimination diet a few years ago for elevated inflammation markers and PMR, the redness on my face (probably mild rosacea) completely cleared up. I told DH yesterday that I think we should feed ourselves for a while, and that I really can’t continue eating so much pasta. Plus he’s been buying more frozen meals lately (probably sick of cooking) and I really don’t want all the added crap. He seems to be unaffected by whatever he eats, but I’m not! Anyway, my face looks awful and itches like crazy, so I’m hoping the very clean, if somewhat limited, diet will clear it up. Plus help me start losing weight!

SW RND 272: 135.0
GW RND 272: 133.5 (dare I set this goal? I think I can do it if I stay focused)
UGW: 125 and evaluate from there
Non-scale goals for round 272 (tracked for the prior day each morning):
🏃🏻♀️(cardio) or 🏋🏻♀️ (lift) 7/10 days
🚫 no alcohol 5/10 days
📝 track 6/10 days
⏱️ intermittent fasting (16:8) 7/10 days
9/13 - 134.2 🏃🏻♀️🏋🏻♀️ ⏱️ Set some extra goals for this round. Not starting too ambitious yet but these things should help me stay on track. I did drink yesterday and failed to track my intake. But I went for a run and lifted weights at least! I didn’t snack at least. Today I’ll just power walk the dogs, and my 3 year old asked me to e-bike him to school, so I did. That’s very light cardio but it’s more than I get while driving!
9/14 - 132.8 🏃🏻♀️⏱️ Didn’t make many of my non-scale goals. I’ve always been a procrastinator 😅 My loss today is at least partially dehydration due to alcohol. I drank more than I’d planned when a friend popped by after dinner. Ugh. Not sure what activity will be today but I’m hoping to squeeze something in around kid activities!
9/15 - 134.8 📝 Phew, so many calories at dinner at our friends’ house. Just realized I forgot to track the wine, and I’m already at 1100 calories for dinner alone 🫣 I didn’t get a workout in yesterday beyond ebiking the kids around. Today we’ll go on a family hike. It won’t be much but I’ll count it.
9/16 - 134.8 📝🏃🏻♀️🏋🏻♀️🚫⏱️ First day I’ve hit all of my non-scale goals! I stayed baaarely within calories but I felt like I was back on track with my goals. DH is definitely a bad influence but I can overcome his attempts to derail me, haha. What I can’t comprehend is his saying he’s overweight and he needs to fix it and he knows it’s his eating, but he carries on without making a change. It’s clear to me that he sometimes feels offended when I make a different eating choice from him but I wish he would channel that energy differently. It isn’t going to get easier as we age. Each time I restart it gets harder. Anyway I’ll just try to keep progressing toward my goal and maybe he’ll get inspired. He can’t do it if he doesn’t genuinely want to. Today I’m going to take the dogs on a walk/run for my activity. I already know I’m making instant pot chicken adobo for dinner so I can plan my lunch accordingly.
9/17 - 133.2 📝🏃🏻♀️🚫⏱️ Yesterday was a very good day. I had a bowl of ice cream after dinner that wasn’t planned but fit within my calories+exercise calories, so I’m okay with it. Otherwise everything was exactly as planned. Today I’m lifting so won’t have as many exercise calories to eat, but I’m always hungrier on my lifting days. The program I’m doing increase squat weight by 5 pounds every workout so I’m already at 100 pounds today! Feels like a milestone. I’m a little worried that it will get too heavy soon but so far so good.
9/18 - 133.0 📝🏃🏻♀️🏋🏻♀️ Yesterday I tried to up my protein. I realized that if I want to build and/or maintain muscle while also losing weight, that's what I'm going to have to do. But wow, it's hard on limited calories! Here was my attempt:
Breakfast: 9 tbsp of egg whites mixed with a little cheese, avocado, and salsa
lunch: cottage cheese, chicken breast, and an apple
snack: banana (think I could have squeezed some protein in here but I was in a rush)
dinner: steak with veggies and yams
All of that was only 95g of protein and I'd like to have roughly my weight in grams of protein. Anyone here target protein goals? Any suggestions? I don't love protein powder but I'll try it if it's the only way.
9/19 - 📝🏃🏻♀️⏱️ 133.4. Thanks for the protein tips yesterday! Making good progress on most of my non-scale goals. Looks like no alcohol for the rest of the challenge, which will be manageable. We had a date night last night. I usually complain about DH’s bad influence on me but he chose a salad for dinner so I did the same, despite eyeing the burgers! It was a fun night. I’m lifting weights now - so shaky on 105-lb squats, ugh! Have no food plan for today so I’ll have to figure that out.
9/20 - 📝 🏋🏻♀️ 🚫 134.8 Not sure what happened here. I did go slightly over but only by 20 or so calories. I did have a full serving of ice cream yesterday evening but usually my body doesn't react that extremely to that. Seems like most days I have either beer or ice cream Probably should have a day with neither and see how that goes. I'm in a very good mood today. DH has been wanting to move our family to Colorado (from Virginia) and he finally got an actual offer, but the money wasn't good enough. I could feel him trying to talk himself into it and waffling a lot but he stuck with the boundary he had set (what he makes now or more if we're going to increase our cost of living by 50%). We spent the summer there to try it out and I wasn't convinced our lives would be markedly better there. Honestly he just despises the humidity and disappointing winters for skiing. It may be on the table later but for now we are staying put and I'm so happy to feel stable. It's a privilege to even be able to have these discussions, and I'm grateful for the life we've been gifted and what we've built.

Well, I should have been making notes when I started reading! Too many to remember!!
@Chapter|_3 I love the unstuffed pepper. My DH doesn’t like stuffed peppers but as far as I know, has never had one! I will follow your lead the next time!
@AR10at50 - I‘m envious of your horse workout! I wouldn’t do it because of my weak backbone. I hope I’m improving it with supplements and exercise. To answer your question about doing keto with sourdough, I actually didn’t worry about it. DD has an issue with eating anything but fish and fowl so I knew my WOE was going to be different than at home. I made a half sandwich a couple of times with lots of cold cuts and cheese on her sourdough. I really need to see if there is something about sourdough and keto because it didn’t make me crave carbs the way store bread does. I have no problem with your “personal” question. Maybe the bread is the reason I have become “regular.” @judefit1 - I think you asked about her starter. She made her own. I will try to post the links she gave me.3 -

9/13: 163.8 lbs
If I am honest, I am not even trying to lose weight. Only half the family was home for dinner so I made pancakes! I have never served up such an unhealthy dinner. Reading the latest comments from this round is helping me refocus. Thank you to everyone who shows up everyday and posts here.
9/14: 163.6 lbs
It was pizza night and I stuck to my calorie budget. I ate carrots with my pizza to slow my eating down and it seemed to have worked. I didn't eat any leftovers afterwards like I usually do.
9/15: 163.6 lbs
The kids made apple crumble which of course was near impossible for me to turn down. So I ate at maintenance for the day.
9/16: 162.5 lbs
Ate within calorie budget and exercised.
9/17: 162.0 lbs
Ate within calorie budget and exercised.
9/18: 162.5 lbs
Ate within calorie budget and exercised. I am pleased with the momentum I am building. I am going to try to keep it going at least until the end of the round.
9/19: 162.5 lbs
Ate within calories and exercised.
9/20: 163.1 lbs
I ate within calories and exercised so I don't know why my weight is going up. My body has some wild fluid fluctuations during my cycle so I am not concerned. If I look at the graph of my weight, it is has been trending down for the past month so I will just keep on keeping on. I think it is how we respond when our weight goes up that determines our overall success.

9/13 163.6 This uptick was not because of food, but I’m not sure where it did come from. Oh, the games our bodies play when we are trying to lose weight!
9/14 163.8 Not much exercise because our water heater was out and had to be replaced.
9/15 163.6 Got in a good, sweaty walk to the beach yesterday to offset some vacation foods. Hot water now, so showers aren’t painful!
9/16 163.8 Another wonderful walk yesterday out to the beach, down the beach, and back. Expected a drop this morning, but in light of the fact that all meals are prepared in restaurants while we are here, I’ll take a holding pattern.Trying to push proteins and water to offset some of the salt and higher carbs. We fly home tomorrow. But I’ll miss the great place we have to walk here.
9/17 163.8 We fly home today, so I’m hoping I can get unstuck once I get home. It’s been weird to have been on such a plateau while here in FL. I’ve walked a ton, but guess the vacation food has offset that even though I’ve been pretty careful.
9/18. 163.2 Headed back down a bit this morning! Yay! Going to push water and protein again today and get back in the swing of things. Got in a walk after flying home yesterday plus some walking at the airport while waiting for the plane. I am doing better with water lately, so will continue to work on that to see if I can push through this plateau I’ve been on for a couple rounds now. Slowly adding in some beginner weight training this week, too. Did one session already this morning, so it's a start!
9/19 163.2 STILL!!! Ah, well, this is how it goes, isn’t it? Did some light strength training yesterday in addition to walking in the evening. Food was on track with over 100 g of protein. Sleep is really hard to come by these days. Up at 3:30 this morning much to my dismay. Don’t want to take Tylenol PM or anything though. Hoping I will get past this soon.
9/20 161.2 WooHoo! Finally a whoosh! This makes 30 pounds lost. Still a ways to go though.

I'm verbalizing goals here today for accountability:
* At least 8000 steps each day, but hopefully over 10,000 at least 3 times a week.
* Strength training 2-3 times this next week.
* 90+ grams of protein each day.
* Drink more water!

This round will be a challenge as we are on holiday in Spain for the whole 10 days, eating in the hotel for 2 meals per day & not being in control of food preparation is always difficult to calculate calories. I CAN do it again if I remain strong.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to try not to gain!
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.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.***
Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DP's bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to over indulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so jeopardize that luck.

@deepwoodslady - your DGS looks like a really lovely young man, hope his treatment and recovery is very straightforward. Keeping everything crossed and sending positive vibes for Owen .3

@quiltingjaine: thanks for the sites- I think this is a good fall "project"!
@deepwoodslady: your poor little grandson, a break is bad enough but compound is really rough! Hopefully he's set now and will mend quickly.
@Skyleen75: I'm so glad to know that someone else doesn't track and log, I've tried for years but I've never been able to keep it up, so for me weighing daily and all of you in this group have been a game changer!4 -

9/20- 171.8
9/21- 172.2- Just a bumpy round for me. While my eating wasn’t perfect it definitely wasn’t wildly out of control. I have trust in myself to stay the course.
The first half of September showed great but slow progress and I liked seeing the numbers below 170. It’s very funny that my perception of 2-3 lbs is much different if it puts me up or down a “level”. It really is just in my own head that one number is better than another! 169.9 and 170.1 is the difference of a pair of socks and a glass of water- I need to get over it!!! There is no magic number- just strength, health and capability.
It’s going to be a beautiful and busy weekend. I will have to make thoughtful choices today as it’s our Village Festival today which ends with hosting friends on the boat watch fireworks.
I feel incredibly grateful this morning.
I’m going to take this energy through my day.5 -

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

9/21: oh the fickle scale! I've been bouncing up and down for the last week, I really want to keep that number stable at a little less than 125. I know it sounds silly, but that seems to be my manageable "magic number". Today will be yardwork and cooking, and maybe a last nap in the hammock before I pack it away for the winter...

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)

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: 134.8
Day/Weight/Comment
9/13 – 135.6 This actually really annoys me. Calories were within 1 calorie of target, and there was even a little over estimating that I went ahead an left. I did do upper body weights for the first time in years, but no notable muscle soreness that might have associated fluid retention. As previously mentioned, my nutritional profile is different than in the past rounds, and I am taking some supplements with an eye to bone health. I’ll give it the full round 272 doing what I am doing before spending time changing what I am doing as IMO it will work.
9/14 – 134.8 Ok, at least I am back to where I started. Digestive system feeling better today. I need to go look back at yesterday’s diary and see what I did
9/15 – 135.6 Did everything I should yesterday. Got in nice exercise. Tracked everything. Did not cross my calories or eat back my exercise. BUT I did notice overnight that I had tightness in my fingers. That often correlates to sodium.
Yesterday, I went to the mall for a bit. I just never find “me” time much for me these days. There is a constant list of undone tasks hanging over my head. This has also been my excuse for poor exercise habits. Gotta sort this all out and make life work better. Back to the point though, I enjoyed doing some “me” time even though clothing did not look as I hoped. But that did clarify that I want to get back to where I was just months ago.
9/16 – 134.0 Now this number reflects my actions. Yay!
Coincidentally, I read something telling on Reddit. I get notifications from a supplement group there and someone wrote in that they were have consequences of too much magnesium. IYKYK and they were asking how to fix. One commend was that the “antidote” to magnesium is calcium. And calcium is certainly what I have been suspecting is related to my slow digestive issues.
Did a little bit of seated dumbbell exercises while watching TV last night, but not enough to give myself credit. But it was an interesting idea going forward.
9/17 – 135.2 Feeling some frustration. This is so unlike my usual easy up and easy down history. But I am trying to not yo-yo, so I guess I am doing that well. Yesterday, food was spot on and I did intentional exercise of walking to the grocery store, instead of driving .
9/18 – 133.6 All right! Pay off. Few things 1) Proud of myself for not doing a stress eating binge yesterday when it would have been so easy to do so. (run in with a difficult contractor) 2) gotta work on my core, can feel back/left leg tweaking again 3) thanks to tracking, I can look at my nutritional profile. On sat, calcium 124%, weight up. Sunday, calcium 60%, weight down. Monday, calcium 151%, weight up. Tuesday, calcium 82%, weight down. I don’t plan to give up on the calcium, but at least I may have explanations for an uptick in the scale (usually salt or lots of pasta). If I am correct, understanding a cause and effect, helps me to push past it.
Today is a crazy day. Will do my best. Early errands before mom at assisted living, the another meeting at bank for new estate instructions (thanks lawyers), then we remembered hubby was invited to a “couples” business dinner in Boston tonight. Guess who else is going. I don’t like not getting to plan and pre-track, but I did an 800 calorie “quick add” to block off calories for the unknown, and I will eat to that target. No time to exercise enough to collect extra calories, and I would like to hold onto my 133.6.
9/19 – 133.6 Wow! So grateful. I was thoughtful during the day but did not get any exercise. Had pre-tracked those 800 calories as a placeholder, but I am certain those numbers were exceeded. Had two fried passed appetizes, and some white wine (likely 4 oz). Dinner was a very fancy salad (it was actually too fancy to end up good – sad because there was such potential), a phenomenal Halibut entrée, and a Chocolate Caramel Bavarian for desert. Ok, bad enough. As you leave, they hand you a favor of a tray with four mini pastries. Logic would have been to decline, but I took them. In the car, I ate the very mini éclair (think half of a normal mini éclair). Got home, and hubby and I headed to the couch for late night TV. Was tempted to get back into the tray for the other three pastries, BUT I decided to step on the scale first. Number was good. That was good and that was enough info to motivate me to stop…….. I ate the beignet for breakfast today. Two pastries left………
9/20 – DNW Could not face the scale. Had a full on stress binge last night. I knew what I was doing the whole time and did not care. Today is a new day.
9/21 – 135.0 one last day before the last day of the round. Sadly, I loved the number from two days ago and I made it disappear. Hoping my system gets back in order and is kind to me tomorrow. Today, I am facing going out to eat at an Italian restaurant, but it is a restaurant I have been to a fair number of times while active on MFP. I order the chicken cacciatore (not the most luscious of the options) and instead of having it served over pasta, I have them serve it over baby spinach. It’s actually a very healthy combo. I will splurge on a glass of wine as well. Tracking it now, so that the rest of my day is compatible.
9/22 –
Intentional exercise
9/12 – Apple Fitness+ #105 – 20 strength, upper body, dumbbells
9/13 – none
9/14 – 49 minutes, 4 mph.
9/15 – seated dumbbells – minimal time
9/16 – 29 minutes, 3.5 mph
9/17 – nada
9/18 – nope
9/19 – wish I had
9/20 – I so need things to simplify

9/13 163.6 This uptick was not because of food, but I’m not sure where it did come from. Oh, the games our bodies play when we are trying to lose weight!
9/14 163.8 Not much exercise because our water heater was out and had to be replaced.
9/15 163.6 Got in a good, sweaty walk to the beach yesterday to offset some vacation foods. Hot water now, so showers aren’t painful!
9/16 163.8 Another wonderful walk yesterday out to the beach, down the beach, and back. Expected a drop this morning, but in light of the fact that all meals are prepared in restaurants while we are here, I’ll take a holding pattern.Trying to push proteins and water to offset some of the salt and higher carbs. We fly home tomorrow. But I’ll miss the great place we have to walk here.
9/17 163.8 We fly home today, so I’m hoping I can get unstuck once I get home. It’s been weird to have been on such a plateau while here in FL. I’ve walked a ton, but guess the vacation food has offset that even though I’ve been pretty careful.
9/18. 163.2 Headed back down a bit this morning! Yay! Going to push water and protein again today and get back in the swing of things. Got in a walk after flying home yesterday plus some walking at the airport while waiting for the plane. I am doing better with water lately, so will continue to work on that to see if I can push through this plateau I’ve been on for a couple rounds now. Slowly adding in some beginner weight training this week, too. Did one session already this morning, so it's a start!
9/19 163.2 STILL!!! Ah, well, this is how it goes, isn’t it? Did some light strength training yesterday in addition to walking in the evening. Food was on track with over 100 g of protein. Sleep is really hard to come by these days. Up at 3:30 this morning much to my dismay. Don’t want to take Tylenol PM or anything though. Hoping I will get past this soon.
9/20 161.2 WooHoo! Finally a whoosh! This makes 30 pounds lost. Still a ways to go though.
9/21. 161.6 Lots of walking yesterday (11K+ steps) and strength training in the form of swinging a heavy mattock to remove some tough vegetation and carrying firewood—cleanup in the mountains at the camper.
9/22
I'm verbalizing goals here today for accountability:
* At least 8000 steps each day, but hopefully over 10,000 at least 3 times a week.
* Strength training 2-3 times this next week.
* 90+ grams of protein each day.
* Drink more water!4 -

👇🏻Sept Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Sept:
1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and kcals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan. It is supposed to support muscle gain with fat loss while 🏋🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️ 🎾. I will continue to track NSVs/macros/ activities, etc. to learn about my body.
2. 🙏📝📚🧐 - I will continue to pray, journal, research. This is my aspect of “leveling up” because I am nothing without my relationship w/Jesus Christ. I’ve also grown into loving/enjoying learning about my body & healthy aging. Replacing BAD habits w/ GOOD habits is a journey in itself. This practice helps me stay present /mindful of many decisions/ thoughts/ actions that impact not only nutrition, but improves self-talk & interactions w/others.
3. 🏋🏼♀️this is my biggest challenge. I still don’t like it. Not one bit. I have some days that it clicks, but it’s a daily struggle. Living “fake it till I make it”… Faking my “identity”. My hope is that some 🏋️♀️version eventually becomes a healthy habit. I’m working on a minimum of 10-minute “🏋🏼♀️snacks” 2-3x per day, 5x per week. Gosh, how I wish someone, ANYONE would have told me in my earlier years that 🏋🏼♀️is the key to fat-loss / maintaining - NOT cardio. I was brainwashed.
4. Healthy Aging - includes mobility, flexibility, balance and agility. While I do stretch every morning plus “stretch snacks”… I want to up this game… I will start to add “sprints” (which is NOW only fast jogging… 😂) and plyometrics (celebrating a 2” vertical jump) 😂. I read to “sprint” is vital as we age…..
5. I have much “work” to do with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & my overall health will not flourish without this being acknowledged and improved. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until I reconcile this part of my life.
6. Sleep- This is a big one. I’m usually fast asleep by 8:30-9PM. I can’t stay up later…. I love getting up early. I’m good with a 5AM wake up but I want to sleep soundly through the night. Will continue to prioritize this key component to health and well-being…
7. Have fun… lighten up … & give myself permission to be spontaneous. (This is THE HARDEST)!!!!
👇🏻Review since my 1st R231 7/31/23 NSVs/Journey Reflections
******************
1. ✅HSF: Avg. close to 9k steps per day for 11+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - #HSF 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅#HSF: 🙆♀️ Daily stretch greatly improving my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅ #HSF 📝 🙏 everyday
4. ✅#HSF: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
5. ✅#HSF : Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
6. ✅#HSF : zero to 15g of net carbs/ day
7. ✅Clean P:E 115-130g Protein
8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
9. ✅#HSF 💦80oz daily
10. ✅#HSF Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
11. 💤 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…
Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
Rotating 115g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 128- 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

9/13 131.4 Awful sleep last night. Bummer. I feel like I’m on one of those bouncy gyms!
Solid day w/ 14k steps. Will spend today in reflection, prayer and re-creating the determined mindset for #HSF. I will start to actively show myself some TLC. I 💯 know that when I’m off-kilter it’s related to my sleep patterns…. I’m tired. And when I’m tired, I lose pretty much all of my joy. Today will be a slow start but I’ll get with it! Let’s do this yall!

#HSF mindset engaged. Focusing on personal integrity and the process. (Keep my word to myself with ZERO excuses!) I will do this for 10 days!
Wonderful day yesterday! My “Epiphany” gave me energy and direction.
My little bodybuilder 🏋️♀️emoji represents functional strength training… Not full traditional weight lifting, although I incorporate 10, 15 and 20 lb weights. I also focus on using my own body weight and calisthenics. Will fine-tune these exercises. I’m good with my current macros and PE ratio commitments although will lower fatg a bit - Looking forward!

P:E 1.1:1, P 105g 🎾. 🚫🏋️♀️ for a rest day.
My body truly needs to be dedicated to science. I had a perfect day yesterday I have no clue about this scale this morning. On the one hand Im pissed - on the other hand, totally flummoxed and oh geez…. What can I learn from this? I am learning about my body, and I still have no clue after an entire year!. The only thing I can think of is that I went to sleep much later than usual and ate 2oz of cheese around 8pm. Slept like 💩. I do know my body is super sensitive so let’s see what today brings! If I can gain 2 lbs+ in one day WITHOUT REASON maybe I can lose 2lbs+ in one day! 🤣
Today: Bring it on!

Head cold and storms/all day rain. Managed a solid 🏋️♀️. Dragging right now but planning a good day! Head cold could dictate….
⚖️ I sincerely have no idea why the scale fluctuates so much… I can only guess it’s my unique internal “processing.” The steadier my daily routine (no eating after 6pm and routine foods), the steadier the scale. Timing & Familiarity are key.

No measure day. Slept well. Stayed within protein macros and ratios-but not sure exact other macros. Lunch: A chicken salad made with high protein Oikos yogurt. Dinner: Browned lean, ground beef and lamb with peppers/onions/garlic and added light cream cheese. Basically a stuffed bell pepper without stuffing a bell pepper😎. Too many ingredients to record. 🤓 Definitely prefer limited ingredients for tracking purposes. I also enjoyed a piece of dark chocolate.
In another state tennis tournament today & tomorrow … no rain but in the 90°s…. ugh.

9/21. Experienced some horrible nausea and tossed all my cookies last night. Cancelled tennis today. Lost lots of fluids. Will be home all day in bed. I haven’t been this sick in years. I hope it’s only 24 hours. I must confess, I haven’t read everyone’s entries, and I will catch up as soon as I feel better. I really don’t think it was anything I ate. It could’ve been heat/ dehydration. I’m just not sure.

9/21-164-Lots of yard and house work. Still recovering from the bloat of my trip. We were constantly offered water and I carried plenty of water on the horse, but it still wasn’t near what I normally drink. -Off to a funeral for a gal I grew up with, then back home to finish getting the house/yard ready for an 80th birthday party for DH’s uncle tomorrow.
@deepwoodslady - Donna, your DGS is in my thoughts and prayers. He sure makes a darling patient.
@quiltingjaine - thanks for the info. DH has a neuropathy thing that occurs when he eats white rice, pasta, potatoes and white bread. However, sourdough does not do that to him and he believes it is because it takes longer to digest and get into his system…..And yes, that horse trip was interesting, traveling downhill for great lengths of time was hard on my lower back and if I did it again, I would wear my Velcro back support.4 -

9/13 - 198.2/198
This uptick of 1.8 in one day makes absolutely no sense. I’m officially depressed about it.
9/14 - 198/197.9
I did some “consolation eating” last night. Not too bad, but more than optimum. I’ll do better today.
9/15 - 197.4/197.8
Nothing much to report. Have a lovely Sunday, all!
9/16 - 197.4/197.6
Other than 10 Triscuits last night, I did well all day.
9/17 - 196.8/197.4
Better. Also, I realized something (thank you, @SModa61 , for the nudge with your calcium discussion!). I’ve been having terrible gut issues all spring and summer, making me afraid to be far from a bathroom so keeping me from long walks. Have tried eliminating various foods from my diet with no results. Didn’t even think about the magnesium I’ve been taking to prevent leg cramps. I’ve stopped for a bit to see if that’s it. If so, and if cramps come back, I’ll add calcium to balance it out. I actually feel better already, and am hopeful for nice long autumn and best-of-winter walks.
9/18 - 197.2/197.3
Nothing to report today. 😊
9/19 - 197.2/197.2
I’ve been keeping my calories below 1400, so sooner or later I have to lose, in theory. Just discouraging. I do like it, though, when real and trend weights line up—feels like a fresh start. 🤪
9/20 - 196.6/197
I’m having a sudden flare of rosacea on my cheek, which I believe is food related, so I’m putting myself on the Institute for Functional Medicine’s elimination diet for a bit. When I was on a doctor/dietician prescribed elimination diet a few years ago for elevated inflammation markers and PMR, the redness on my face (probably mild rosacea) completely cleared up. I told DH yesterday that I think we should feed ourselves for a while, and that I really can’t continue eating so much pasta. Plus he’s been buying more frozen meals lately (probably sick of cooking) and I really don’t want all the added crap. He seems to be unaffected by whatever he eats, but I’m not! Anyway, my face looks awful and itches like crazy, so I’m hoping the very clean, if somewhat limited, diet will clear it up. Plus help me start losing weight!
9/21 - 197/196.9
I absolutely do not understand how I can tick up half a pound when my calories for the past week have been low. So weird. Anyway, I do seem to have a better handle on my eating lately, so that’s a plus.

@AR10at50 Oddly, my back didn’t bother me this trip but my hips were killing me. I think it was the bed we were sleeping in at DD’s house. I needed help getting on the ladder to get in the boat-it was a very long step up. The edge of the tub in “our” bathroom was over my knee - daughter wanted a “soaking tub.” Anyway, one night in my own bed and no problem with the hips. YAY! I learned some time ago that wearing my backpack with about 10# in it causes we to stand more erect and my back doesn’t hurt.5

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.

09/20-193.4- (Trend weight-193.4-) Travel today and then a quiet weekend. . I hope to be able to string some good days together with diet and exercise after the dental trip today for my son. My DGS I normally babysit for Thur – Sun fell off the jungle gym at school and got a compound fracture in his arm. He will be with his mom and dad all weekend as they await information on when he can be casted. Since they are no longer together, I hope they will get along okay spending the weekend together. My DGS had to be sent 4 hours away to a specialty children’s hospital to have it set which luckily did not require a surgery after all. Please keep Owen in your thoughts & prayers.
09/21-DNW- (Trend weight-DNW-) No-weigh Saturday instead of Friday as I forgot to take the once-per-week medication yesterday. Just as well since I traveled yesterday and ate Chinese food out. I need that day of buffer as most of yesterday was sitting in the car. Today I will attempt to get the gumption up to get outside and do some raking. It is becoming too thick in the backyard for the squirrels and birds I feed. The trees are still very full, even with the depth of what is on the ground! It’s too dry to burn in the bonfire but I can make piles for another day I suppose. Hopefully my son will help, he desperately needs the exercise too. My DGS Owen will get his cast on Wednesday at the special children’s hospital in Grand Rapids Michigan. In the meantime, they have sent him home to begin the process of reducing the swelling. I’m just so thankful they canceled the surgery after being able to get it set under anesthesia. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!
