    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 274 (my 204th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

    This round takes me up to travelling again, this time to Turkey to visit DB. Just want to lose something before I go!
    Goals for this round;
    • First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
    • to lose!
    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 DPs 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 overindulge, 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 I must not jeopardize that luck.

    RND 274 - JGMTD #44
    Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
    #HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
    #helpfulhabits

    About Me & R274 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.

    HW 172lbs in 2010. Lost 30lbs in 2014. Crazy🎢 for 10years. Joined JGMTD R231 7/31/23. Lost 15lbs 8/1 -11/23. Said goodbye FOREVER to the 🎢! I’ve named my maintenance journey “#HSF” & on my way to
    📣#bestshapeofmylife

    👇🏻Oct Level Up (Down) Plan
    ***************************
    I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Oct:

    1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and cals = 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 added “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 12+ 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 110-130g Protein
    8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
    9. ✅#HSF 💦70-80oz 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 110g 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… !

    ⚖️-total surprise this morning… Am I simply going to have one to 2 lb fluctuations day-in day-out? -I guess that’s what’s going on? Geez Louise!

    I did have an incredible day yesterday… I reflected, read, created a plan to work on sprints and plyo during my walk-then DID IT! I adjusted my Apple Watch for intervals and it’s easy to measure & track. I set up one 7 minute HIIT with 20 second work and 40 second recover. When I got to the park, I did two of these… I must look like a total fool! My sprint is hardly a “true sprint” & plyo is hardly true “jumps” but at least I’m doing it. This is ground zero! Im actually motivated to start & track these movements with proven benefits.

    P:E - increased protein, reduced “Energy” significantly: lowered fat & only 2 carbs yesterday. (I did have to drink some of my protein to reach those levels).

    Forced myself to 🏋️‍♀️. This journey requires a great deal of self-discipline…. As life. I’m discovering that I enjoy working toward something… It must be defined. #HSF

    NSV: Actually, DOING what I said I would DO is one of the best feelings in the world!

    Supposed to play tennis today, but it just started raining so I’ll substitute. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but yesterday was the perfect kick start to a great round!

    10/5 131.0
    ✅ 🏋️‍♀️25min 📚 5💤hrs. P:E 1.7:1, Pg 117g
    ⚖️swings are my normal. All day rain 🚫🚶‍♀️. Ate late. Disrupted sleep. Almost DNW because we ate late, slept poorly & woke up puffy. … I could’ve done HIIT inside, but I opted not to because once again, I got distracted with being inside. Rainy days certainly bring the blues… Ate late.

    Today: DGS soccer could be cancelled (rain) but if not:
    🏋️‍♀️⏱️🚶‍♀️📚💤. I will not get distracted today!

    October is our birthday month. Hubby has a big one (70!) & I’ll turn 66. We have five celebrations planned so far with two more in planning stages… I will stay vigilant this month. We had planned a one week trip to the smoky mountains, but canceled for obvious reasons. Now a “staycation”. Praying for Helene victims and volunteers.

    10/6 131.0
    ✅ 🚶‍♀️11.5k 💦💤 7hrs. P:E 1.7:1, Pg 135g
    Wonderful walk. Went to another small town 3mi north - enjoyable! DGS Soccer-will post photo. Still sore from lifting so held off. Getting that amount of protein requires careful planning. Today: 🎾🏋️‍♀️⏱️🚶‍♀️📚.

    10/7 130.8
    ✅ 🏋️‍♀️15min 🚶‍♀️10k ⏱️14min 💦📚 💤8hrs. P:E 1:1, Pg 95 (low)

    Most proud of ⏱️speed & plyo. Three times this round so far!Went to my usual spot but filled with families on a Sunday afternoon…. Thinking there would be too many eyes on this old lady doing sprints & jumps… But at this age Im “invisible”, so I guess the self-consciousness is for naught! Who knows, perhaps I inspired someone to get off their butt! 🤣😎🤣

    10/8 132.0
    ✅ 🏋️‍♀️15min 🚶‍♀️8k ⏱️7min 🎾💦📚 💤6hrs. P:E .8:1, Pg 95 (low)

    Another ⚖️ fluctuation. This one doesn’t surprise me as much because we ate late last night. Fluctuation of 1 to 2 lbs based on timing of last meal. I should be used to this by now… Protein low. Puffy. Sleep could be lots better. It’s clear my body loves routine, and yesterday was off a bit…

    Planning another 🏋️‍♀️#HSF day. A little sore from yesterday’s workout. Will see my DGS again.

    10/9 131.4
    💤5hrs. P:E .6:1, Pg 119. Took off a day yesterday from all movement… became distracted taking care of some business in the morning, then it was 2pm - time to pickup DGS.
    🚫🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️. Ate 2Tbs of PBJ in the afternoon & one glass of wine with steak last night. All tracked. 45 carbs(😳) & 1700 cals. (300 over maintenance) Yesterday a D- because it could have been worse. Note to self: Accomplish 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️FIRST in the morning… And if I don’t, chances, are, I won’t do it!

    Distracted. Maybe too much angst from Helene and now Milton. Dispair? 🙏🙏🙏 all victims, first responders & volunteers.

    Want to finish R274 mentally strong & hopeful. 🎾🏋️‍♀️⏱️today; dinner with friends this eve.

    10/10 DNW (little sleep)
    ✅ 🚶‍♀️12k ⏱️7min 🎾💤4hrs. P:E .9:1, Pg 93 (low)
    Logged protein shake and forgot to drink. I was ok at dinner, but ate +carbs & kept @ 1400 cals.
    Today: 🚶‍♀️⏱️🏋️‍♀️& will definitely meet Protein threshold.

    I called to make my “Inbody”appointment for 10/31, and the gal that I’ve been working with is no longer available. Super bummed! Will probably venture to the “freebie” Nutrishop down the road…. Different machine so different results….

    10/11 131.4
    ✅ 🏋️‍♀️15🚶‍♀️11k ⏱️10min 💤7hrs. P:E 1:1, Pg 115

    Hubby leaving for his 70mi mountain bike ride on his birthday-70 miles to commemorate his 70th! (Yes, all at once). Last minute, since our two trips were canceled… (Tornadoes in May then Helene). I decided not to join him - just too far of a trip for too little time. I’m so happy he was able to arrange this!

    I’m thinking about doing a 48-72hr water fast (Cellular regeneration). I’ll decide by noon today. It either started yesterday at 6 PM or will start tonight at 6 PM. Will be so much easier while he’s gone. 72 has many more benefits than 48 so I’ll be thinking on it!

    ✅ 🏋️‍♀️20🚶‍♀️11k 💤 4hrs 🎾
    Pg 20g
    Decided to go ahead and attempt the 72 hour fast. I’m on 36 hours. 16oz of bone broth yesterday (plus 2black coffee and 80oz 💦). Only water/black coffee for the next 36 hours.

    I’m not doing the fast for weight loss. Doing it to give my system a brake & regenerate cells & pray. A few days ago, I wanted to feel mentally strong by the end of this round… Acting on self-discipline is a tremendous feeling. It’s not only “a feeling” it’s reality and positively impacts many other areas of life …

    If you’re ever interested in learning about fasting /benefits, there is a plethora of information on the Internet.

    BUT!!!!! I slept horrible last night - a surge of energy / kept tossing and turning. Very little sleep. I’m hoping I can nap sometime today and / or get a good nights sleep tonight.

    I felt/ feel +++ ! except for a slight headache around 8PM last night.

    Yesterday: I played 🎾3hrs & 30 min of 🏀 with my DGS & 20 min🏋️‍♀️. Just kept going…. going…

    Today: ? 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️💤💦💦💦. Let’s see how I feel as my day progresses - supposed to rest while fasting but my energy is bouncing off the charts! Get to be with DGS today too - he has a soccer game😎.

    I don’t know EXACTLY how I feel about this round…. What are my takes?
    1. ⚖️ fluctuates considerably based on routine.
    2. Will lose muscle mass from this fast 🤔….
    3. Solid ✅with new JGMTD ⏱️goals (sprints/plyo!!!) 5 / 10 days.
    4. 🏋️‍♀️6/10!

    Let’s keep this momentum going. See y’all in R275!

    10/10 -191.2- (Trend weight-192.6-)

    10/11 -193.8- (Trend weight-193.6-) Well, there’s the massive jump-up from the travel and the Chinese Food. It’s actually much higher than I expected since it didn’t seem that I ate a whole lot. Hopefully a lot of it is sodium induced retention. All the more reason to try to be extra careful while DD and DGS are here during the weekend. Clothing has just been getting tighter and tighter since Feb/Mar and this merry-go-round isn’t feeling too merry right now. I’m committing to a good day today No Matter What!

    10/12 -191.4- (Trend weight-193.4-) Ending with a nice 2 lb drop after losing the fluid retention from travel. I wanted so badly to get back to/hold onto the weight on the morning of the 10th and I managed to do it after all. It gives me such hope going forward. I made tacos for dinner for DS, DD and DGS. I did not need another sodium-filled day so I stuck to my own "diet menu" and I'm so glad I did! I’ve so enjoyed reading the posts and seeing the pics from all of you this round. I’m looking forward to round 275. See you there!

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Me - Meg, 5'5", 65, desk job, moderate daily exerciser
    Daily Calories @ 1630 for one pound per round!
    GOAL #2 135 LBS

    Motto: Don't let “perfection” get in the way of “good-enough”.

    @Chapter_3 and @judefit1 and everyone - It's good to hear how we all manage our efforts to make a change and keep balance with our real world, be it riding with kids on the "bike bus" to school, (love this, @pezhead), or dealing with the old men in our lives. We all have to it figure out because when we make a change, it has a ripple effect.

    Round 274
    10/03 – 139.9 Morning swim, work, and Baja fish tacos planned for dinner.
    10/04 - 139.3 Morning walk and noon trainer session. Healthy spaghetti for dinner. Work in between.
    10/05 - 139.3 Morning swim, no yoga, rehearsal, out for dinner.
    10/06 - 139.5 Morning hike, late church, household chores and meal planning for the week.
    10/07 - 139.5 Morning walk, noon BodyPump class, and eating at home, all day. No being led astray!
    10/08 – 139.3 Morning swim. Beef and lentil meatballs for dinner. Work!
    10/09 – 138.2 Morning walk, noon weights, Chicken, Chickpea & Veggie Curry for dinner.
    10/10 - 138.6 Morning swim, no yoga : :/ , healthy meat and 3 for dinner.
    10/11 – 137.3 Morning swim, noon trainer session. Chili for dinner.
    10/12 – 137.7 Morning hike, Mexican for dinner. I’ll get the chicken street tacos on steamed corn tortillas and bring carrots & celery to enjoy the salsa.

    Our last day for Round 274. It is a beautiful fall day and I enjoyed the morning hike with ski-club friends followed by a visit to the craft fair with DD and DGS. See you all in the next round!

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    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.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    Comments pertain to previous day

    SW Rnd 274 133.5 AW 133.1
    10/3 133.5 Quilt guild meeting this afternoon.
    10/4 132.5
    10/5 133.5 I accidentally drank a can of regular Coke. I guess DH brought it home from the clubhouse. We haven’t bought anything but Coke Zero in months and I didn’t even look at the can.
    10/6 134.0 Got together with my quilting friends for a couple of hours - DSIL made a small charcuterie board for us which saved me from TOTAL EATING DISASTER at the pool closing party where they served carbs with carbs on carbs. I did eat an ice cream sandwich and some Red Hot Tamales candies.
    10/7 133.5 OOPS! I neglected to post. At Great Greek yesterday I was not very hungry. I got a chicken skewer but only ate 2 of the chicken chunks.
    10/8 133.0 Yesterday I had the remaining 3 chunks of chicken- 2.5 oz, 2 oz of leftover brisket and 90 g Brussels sprouts. I love having leftovers!
    10/9 133.0 We may have a houseguest for the next couple of days due to hurricane Milton.
    10/10 132.5 Didn’t hear from our cousin but DD#2 said she had told her she was staying with a “new friend she had just met” and leaving on an early flight this morning. I’m too leery of people to do that. Going to Golden Corral 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ not my choice.
    10/11 132.5 I feel good about this. Today we’re going to The Age of Chivalry. I love seeing people in period costume and doing things the old way - without tech and programmed machinery!
    10/12 133.0 I must say I don’t really understand that. Yes, I ate a bratwurst on a bun and a bit of ribbon fries but that was all I ate yesterday. I didn’t drink a lot of water at the Ren faire but drank after we got home. Maybe my body is trying to rehydrate. I’m pleased with the little loss I had this round. As I said 6 or 7 years ago- any loss is a good loss.

    10/3: 161.6 lbs
    Achieved my daily goals.

    10/4: 160.9 lbs
    Didn't exercise but did stick to my calories. I must be dropping a lot of water at the moment. If I end this round at this weight I will be happy. When I have bigger drops in weight though, I tend to self-sabotage. I will have to be extra vigilant if I want this weight to stick.

    10/5: 162.7 lbs
    Yes well I did anticipate this would happen. I ate chips, cake and pizza. It didn't help that we had friends drop in. There is something about seeing other people eat that makes me want to eat. And these friends eat a lot so if course I ate a lot too. I had a good time though.

    10/6: 163.6 lbs
    "You get knocked down 100 times, you get up 100 times, you learn 100 lessons." - Mike Tyson.

    10/7: 162.5 lbs
    I achieved my daily goals.

    10/8: 161.4 lbs
    False low because I skipped dinner feeling unwell.

    10/9: 161.8 lbs
    I achieved all my daily goals.

    10/10: 161.6 lbs
    I skipped dinner but I ate chocolate in the afternoon. It balanced out but I am not proud. Sometimes it is just all too hard to be strong but also prioritise my health.

    10/11: 163.1 lbs
    I went off the rails eating wise. I will get over myself soon and get back on track.

    10/12: 164 lbs
    Not a great round from me. I developed a bad attitude towards the end and it has shown. I will reset and be ready for the next round.

    Round 274
    Oct 3 - 12, 2024

    GOAL FOR ROUND 274 – NOT GIVE BACK MY LOSS FROM ROUND 273

    62 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

    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)
    SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
    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: 132.8

    Day/Weight/Comment

    10/3 – 132.4 Posting now after driving to Maine and unloading the car. Packed minimally as I am working on emptying my parents’ home and need space in my car. Will not be weighing tomorrow. Pre-planned, tracked and packed my food for the two days. Since there is nothing else to eat, that should keep me in line. :P

    10/4 – no scale and no time to even comment

    10/5 – 131.6 Have no interest in repeating the past two days to get the loss, but grateful for it. Hungry as heck his morning, with tweaked back, aching joints, including one knee that at the end of yesterday, literally could barely get me up a step. Eating a quick breakfast while typing, then a much needed shower and some advil. DD and fam are dropping off their two cats this morning for us to babysit, so 4 cats (and not all get along) for the next week. Happy Saturday all!

    10/6 – 133.6 Had eating issues at the start of yesterday. Surprised myself with ending dinner pretty much on track. Then I went on a night time bender. The scale will sort itself. Going out to dinner today. Already researched and pre-tracked.

    10/7 – 133.4 Handled everything well yesterday, including the dining out. I have today mostly pre-tracked as well, and should go well.

    10/8 – 132.6 Yesterday, I had a CT scan, which was part of my safety net on calories. Well, it set me off. Not sure what went on, but I had a really poor job installing by IV led me to starting to pass out and maybe the contract dye was a factor and I ended up with abdominal discomfort afterwards which is always an eating trigger for me. So technically, I ate over target, but at the same time the event triggered digestive movement. Today is a simple day.

    10/9 – 134.2 – Another day that went well, then went south later in the evening. I need to sort this pattern

    10/10 – 133.4 So I might not close this round with a loss, but I am seeing that my pattern has a downward trend. My “highs” are progressing down. I thinking about all who were impacted overnight my Milton. I’m sure more details will be released once the sun comes up.

    10/11 – DNW go fully out of control last night, after a tracked day. Just did not feel like seeing the consequences. No sure what tomorrow will show, but I do not think 274 will close with a down. My hope is to remain lower than my close 272, 273 at 134.8 and 135.0 respectively.

    10/12 – 135.2 Oh well, so much for yesterday’s “hope”. Last night, going out to celebrate our 41st anniversary, did not help the scale. Our anniversary is not until the 15th, but DH will be traveling with his mother to get her settled in back in Florida, so we celebrated early.
