Ready to crush our goals before the end of the year?! Will try to break up my goals into milestones - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas! Hopefully this will make them more psychologically manageable and achievable.
Generally, I hope to lose about 10 pounds of fluff I gained from the bulking last year. It’s like my body liked the eating and doesn’t like the deficit!! Discipline discipline discipline.
What’s driving me is not wanting to have that feeling where once again for the 900 gabazillionth time - I’m making my NY resolution a weight loss one.

Final quarter of the year - at this point my annual goal is impossible (in any kind of healthy and sustainable way) but I also have dealt with a lot of "unforeseen" health-related items that I seem to be successfully resolving thus far.
So this last quarter is to get my "healthy habits" back to being the norm instead of the exception. Will take some doing as I can't pretend that I didn't get used to being a bit lazier than normal!
AM workouts (ST) 4x/week; 7500 steps minimum 5x/week; track my food (even if I miss my goals) 5x/week; keep my Power List going.0 -
What CHALLENGES you makes you STRONGER.
Just think about that. When you have to go thru a challenging time in life, you come out of it stronger.
SO I am making my goal a challenge - and trying to come out stronger.
October weight goal: 102
October Use PROTEIN not carbs. If I'm hungry, I can have a protein - Not a carb.
1. 🥛= I met my water goal (80-120oz)
2. ✍️= I logged all my food (LOSEIT app)
3. 🚶= Steps (10,000+) (Apple watch)
4. 🏋️= Exercise (Yoga/strength/cardio)
5. 📚= I read for at least 30 minutes (I skip this one SO much)
6. 🧮= I stuck to my calorie targets (1500-1800. 108g+Prot. 50gFat. 125g carb)
7. 🥏= Calorie Burn range 1950-2000 ( hard as it gets darker)
8. 💊= I took my supplements (presently that's Aleve)
❌ = missed

@SherryRueter - you have trouble reaching 10k steps daily or your exercise? I have an Apple Watch and trying to see how to use challenges if you’re up for one!!0
-
@CeeBeeSlim - I have been getting 12,000 -22,000 steps daily (including my daily workout) on my apple watch. I want to ensure I am getting at least 10,000 - which right now is NOT an issue. Sometimes, I think I'm getting in too much walking. I have an apple watch also.

Wow @SherryRueter! 12k to 22k steps?!?! I have to work real hard to get 10k!
Finishing up iron next week and then 12 weeks to Christmas.
Wondering to do Fuel, then Beast Mode or kettlebell, then 24 days to Christmas. Week off here and there OR
The iron/fuel combo - 12 weeks.
What would you do??0 -
@ceebeeslim What i ahve read is that Fuel is faster paced and has some cardio mixed in.
Iron is better for building muscle, fuel is better if you want more of a calorie burn.
and that Beast mode is very similar to IRON. I looked at the schedule for it and, it has the splits I normally get in my week.
What matters more... YOU KNOW THIS... is that you (and ME) get ontop of our nutrition and STOP eating the junk that fuels our urge/reward center.
I'd gladly become applewatch friends with you. I think that entails me adding you to my contacts on my phone/phone # sharing
To add more steps to your day:
Plan on taking a 5-10 minute walk at 8am, 10am, 12pm, 3pm and 5pm.
Each walk gives me about 2000 steps. Use your watch to see when you hit the 3minutes away from your house, then just turn around and walk back.
ANOTHER way to get in steps.... MILLIONAIRE HOY fitness on youtube has 15min videos that are for 2000 steps and more. He has some crazy cardio challenges. I enjoy his 5K videos as well.0 -
** What went wrong with 9.26 today.... My mind was fixated on the fact that I was around 1200 calories the day before (25th) so I had ROOM to eat snacks. AND then I didn't log a single thing in the LOSEIT app. so I kept derailing my food all day long. ***
from my reading this morning:
Every single one of us deviates from our nutrition and
exercise plan from time to time, whether it’s unplanned
snacks or one-pound burgers, extra fries, and a 20 ounce
shake. We’re not robots, we’re human. Our behavior is
more complex than simply “doing the thing and making
no mistakes.” Plus, there’s a whole middle ground that
gets completely overlooked when the only options are
0 or 100. More often than not, I’d argue that all-or-nothing
leaves you with, well, nothing. It‘s those who focus on
consistently doing their best, learning from mistakes, and
getting back to consistency that always win.
Essentially, what separates those who succeed from those who fail is
how they respond to the screw ups.
From now on, I want you to embrace the fact that
mistakes happen. Learn from them, grow from them,
and never let a few mistakes keep you from getting
back on track.

@SherryRueter - stop making sense, will ya!! 🤣🤣
You’re right - it’s avoidant behavior. I know I need to
focus on what I’m eating eating eating!!! But since I feel I’m failing on that part I’m focusing on 2k vs 4K steps, lunges vs step ups - not where my focus should be.
Okay - countdown to the holidays. Consistency. Progress not perfection. We got this!!1 -
Just got a text from my brother that he wants to talk about mom. Ugh. Here I thought she was doing well. Her BP looks good her BNP looks good. I’m so afraid my brothers will want me to put her in a nursing home and I don’t want that yet.
Feeling anxious /worried/ whatever.
I really wish I want my mom’s primary responsible person. I don’t wanna be. It’s uncomfortable. Praying tonight God will help me thru whatever it is.
Food ended well tonight. Not a bad day numbers wise. (Tracking).0 -
Yesterday’s totals - I made extra efforts to be active. Calorie burn was 2134 - it’s been 1950-1990 for the past week.

Have you all ever done your macros?
I have but, always find re reading helpful
Reading in the macro book and Sharing :
So I’ve decided my protein goal is 108-120
My fat target is 50g and
The remainder is for carbs (which will depend on the overall calories). Somewhere between 100-229g (1300-1800cal).0 -
@SherryRueter I’ve tried with macros but just can’t find a way to hit my protein goals (around 120). I hate cottage cheese, yogurt, etc so have to fill up with protein powders, bars, shakes. Not bad I guess but not great.
Can your mom not live independently? I feel for you!0 -
I’m not sure if she can live independently without a little help from my brothers. But isn’t that with most older women? My brother happened to be just having a day…. And needed to have someone to vent to. Without his wife , he is lonely. And only 60.
I have a few cookbooks from Breanne freeman and her style of cooking helps me. I enjoy her recipes- just have never “only followed” them. That’s what I think I want to start to do , commit to 1 meal a day the first week of October.
Today I tried it and went well until my son wanted Mexican. I wanted to be in a deficit (and would have been) but had not planned for the meal out. Oh well.
Breakfast oats:
1/4c dry oats
3/4c water
Cook .
Combine:
1/3c almond milk
1 scoop chocolate protein of choice
Slowly add that to the oats.
Approx. 300 cal and 28-30g protein.

Okay I meal planned thru Thursday. If I stick to what I’ve planned and pre logged I will be golden.
IFFFFFF
Huge little word0 -
What I am learning by tracking below..
1) I go above my calorie range a LOT of the time. Most of that is boredom or stress eating.
Urges. Not hunger.
Todays Goal - Be ALL in for October. Get ALL of these EVERY SINGLE DAY.

**Because losing weight once is all I want to do, and doing it 100% will get me that result the quickest. Where as restarting every 2 days is the slowest way to do it.

I've never purchased a SPANX pant. but just ordered this and excited for it.
It will look nice for work.
AND... Kinda for motivation to go ALL IN all week. ITs my reward for Sunday... I plan to wear it SUNDAY (Oct 6th) because I will have completed a week of ALL IN.
I tried it on in Dillards (for fun) and then found it on Amazon for $10 less. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZV8GFS?ref_=pe_386300_442618370_TE_sc_as_ri_0

Human nature. Diet culture saying “you can’t enjoy THIS or THAT if you want to lose weight.” But you can enjoy this and that. You know that it’s simply, portions and eating when hungry. And really sitting with the emotional state and recognizing I am satisfied. That food tastes great I could eat a lot more but, I am satisfied. You can have chocolate everyday and lose weight if you’re listening to your body and NOT your urges.
Welcome @carmen00i - I would think you could lose 1-2# a week if you went #All In. But also, make it sustainable. A lifestyle change so you don’t rebound .
