CW: 125ish
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.

About Me & R275 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)!!!!

******************
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

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… !

✅ 🏋️♀️20🚶♀️11k 💤 4hrs 🎾
Pg 20g
Decided to go ahead and attempt the 72 hour fast. I’m on 36 hours. Only 16oz of bone broth yesterday (plus 2black coffee and 80oz 💦). Only water/black coffee for the next 36 hours.
I’m not doing this for weight loss. Doing it to give my system, a brake & regenerate cells. If you’re ever interested in learning about fasting /benefits, there is a plethora of information on the Internet.
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 8 o’clock last night.
Yesterday: I played 🎾3hrs & 30 min of 🏀 with my DGS & 20 min🏋️♀️. Just kept 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 R274…. 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 of 10 days.
4. 🏋️♀️6/10!
10/13 ⚖️128.0 (fasting) 59hrs in. ⬇️3.4lbs 💦💦💦 🚶♀️4k. 💤6.5hrs.
Early yesterday I had a great deal of energy. By 10AM I was zonked then zonked the entire day. Felt my energy just disappear - whoosh! Laid low. Walked around town a little but that was it. 💦💦💦& electrolytes. Did not nap yesterday although I tried. My last 72hr fast I only felt hungry for a couple of hrs around the 48hr mark… Not this time. Yesterday, I was hungry all day & eve… hungry now. Don’t know the difference but this fast has been much more challenging. (At least from my recollection).
My body feels clean. No headache. Feels like I’m floating. Let’s see what happens today. I’m planning steak & eggs to break fast at 6PM.

✅🚶♀️9k 💤6 hrs 💦 P:E 1.1:1; Pg 106
I broke my fast yesterday at 2PM (68 hours…) Gave a tennis lesson to DGS, which consisted of only feeding balls at the net… When I got home, I was pretty weak & laid down…. Simply could not recover from the weakness, so I said to myself “What’s four hours”? Hubby is still away on his bike trip & I thought “let me take care of myself and make sure I don’t faint.” Ate half a ribeye. Totally restored my energy! Protein drink & greek yogurt @ 6PM. Beautiful walk in the evening.
Don’t know why fasting full 72hrs was successful twice before & not this time but I’m proud of 68hrs adhering to my body/limits. I don’t feel like I failed. I listened & took care of myself! 💪🏻
What did I learn? I learned that I have self-discipline and can move my thought patterns to positive self-determination. I can switch gears. I can conquer temptation. Most hunger pangs simply disappear …. Of course, until you feel faint 😎. When you know you know…
💤 Didn’t sleep well again. Trusting after I get moving this morn I’ll feel stronger. I feel clean & hoping to feel even better as the morning progresses. Also trusting my body absorbed all benefits from the fast.
I want to 🚶♀️⏱️🏋️♀️ today. Will check my energy levels. Onward!

Yesterday was full of fishing, yard work and college football. I was surprised by the drop from yesterday, but I will take it.
Did I mention that we bought a Nespresso coffee make? Our trip inspired us to drink less, but better coffee. Kind of an upgrade from the k-cup, but I am not interested in going “full commitment espresso machine.”
DW returns from girls’ trip today, So I need to straighten things up a bit. I will stand at attention while she does the white glove test. 😊 Hope she doesn’t look under the rug.

Round 275
Oct 13 - 22, 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!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/13 – 133.8 yesterday was not perfect, but the results of the previous two days wore off
10/14 – 134.2 attended get together at friend’s house yesterday, then came home and ate a WHOLE bag of chocolate covered pretzels. Anyhow, today start a challenging stretch for me. DH will be out of town for 10 days. In the past, I don’t cook and just eat ice cream and other junk while he is gone. My goal for myself it to actually eat meals while he is gone. Preferably, home cooked and trackable meals.

ROUND 275
10/13 - 138.2 Morning yoga -
didn't happen, but lots of steps. Busy day with lunch & dinner out. Dangerous territory!
10/14 - 138.4 Morning walk, work focus and left-overs for dinner. Clean eating!
Sure enough, I'm paying the SALT tax again for going out on the town. I made reasonable menu choices. For two days in a row I avoided the fried stuff on the table, (yay! - 'cause one chip is never enough), no wine and no interim snacking but still had little weight bumps. Oh well. Lots of water today to flush away the sodium from yesterday!5 -
I'm sorry I'm so sporadic in my participation in this group. I'm having a hard time focusing on my health goals at the moment.
So 10 days. I can commit to 10 days of focusing. Here we go.

10/13: 155.0. A bit higher than I've been recently, but it's not surprising. Food and drink have been a free-for-all. I did, however, get to the gym last night for my treadmill run.
10/14: 154.7. I had a pretty good day yesterday. Stayed in control of my eating (even when my husband ordered a ton of ice cream!). I did 2 walks and a treadmill run (4.25 miles).

@jspecies11 maybe the cooling weather makes us have to work a bit harder to get our water in. I know I'm less likely to feel thirsty so I have to really focus on it when the fall weather sets in.7

Not setting an ambitious goal for the round since I was dehydrated for my start weight and I’m already back up. Would be happy if I could just legitimately weight my round start weight!
Non-scale goals:

🚫 no drinking 5/10 days
📝 tracking 6/10 days
⏱️ intermittent fast 6/10 days
10/13 - 134.2. Had a major snack attack at the farmer’s market yesterday. I’m also really bad at drinking water on the weekends. I probably drank like 12 ounces yesterday 🤦🏻♀️ Today we have a fall festival at my son’s school that will probably have some delicious treats on offer. I’m going to tread lightly, though! My son is very excited to try to dunk the principal in the dunk tank. He is such a happy kindergartner 🥹
10/14 - 135.0 🏃🏻♀️ Impromptu Mexican dinner last night. I kept it balanced by drinking a margarita but eating fajitas with just one of the tortillas haha. Tried not to go wild on the chips. Definitely a salty dinner and my inadequate water consumption continued. The beginning of the week is always bittersweet. Not thrilled to be back at work but I'm a lot more disciplined when I only have to consider myself during the day and can spend a little time planning dinners. I'm sitting at a cafe drinking only black coffee despite all the tempting treats around me to start off on the right foot. Then therapy at 10 which is long overdue. Good way to start the week!

I seem to have found the key for me, finally. I’m not finding it as difficult as I imagined to stick to my fast from supper until breakfast, and wonder why I couldn’t stop snacking at night before. I guess you just have to be in the right place mentally.

Salty dinner last night, but otherwise on target, and one full week of IM. It’s getting easier. 😊

MFP is weird. I was logged in and reading messages when a “thing” showed up at the bottom saying I had to log in to “do that.” My little me icon was still displayed. I backed out to the menu. It showed my days count, etc but wanted me to log in. After a few minutes (I have no idea what I did) I clicked on this list and was back in! WEIRD!!4

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 191.4
10/13 -192.2- (Trend weight -193.2-) I have No Idea under God’s green earth how I gained almost an entire pound since yesterday. My diet was on point. I can only say that my exercise was lacking and most prominently it was an Extremely STRESSFUL day. In fact, the whole weekend has been tense and stressful with my daughter. Her fragile mental health can be difficult for both of us. Maybe that can cause a hormonal shift or weight gain for me? So now I find that we are starting another round where I will be chasing my tail. Ugh…. I’m expecting another stressful day but one that I also will stick to my food plan. I can pull out of this. Anyway, Welcome to all the newbies this round. Wishing you all a great round #275. It's great having you here!
10/14 -194.6- (Trend weight -193.4-) What in the world is going on with my weight? I even tried a different scale I have as a backup and the huge increase is accurate. Can stress really do all this? Back in my younger days I would LOSE weight when I was going through such worry and stress because I could hardly eat! Yesterday was a good day “diet-wise”. I did sneak in a protein drink between my lunch and dinner (it’s rare that I need anything during that time) but I fit it into my macros. I even got on the exercise bike for 22 minutes which I haven’t done in awhile. I feel like my world has just gone crazy. Today I will aim for another good day. I know I need to increase my water so I will work on that. Tomorrow I travel in the late morning for the day for another distant medical appointment. My son & I will probably eat at a great steak house they have in that city. The carbs wouldn’t be too high if it wasn’t for those fresh loaves of bread. I just wish I wasn’t fluctuating so badly prior to my travel as the restaurant and all the sitting will only add insult to my injury. Nothing I can do right now but go with the flow and trust the process. Enjoy your week my friends.

Rnd 274 End Weight 172.2
10/13- 174.4
10/14- 173.8
10/15- 171.4 I am in a very hungry place and I ate every 2-3 hours yesterday. I did my best to make good choices and to eat small portions. There were some mental and emotional gymnastics needed to get myself to feed the hunger beast. My initial reaction was to try and fight it but I decided to try working with my body, not against.
Happy to see my weekend bloat number is gone but I still feel the hormonal bloat that probably has a good week or two to mess with my head space.
Right now I know that I need to keep my head in the game and not get distracted by the numbers.
NSV- I upped my dumbbells from 17.5 to 20lbs for a few exercises. No wonder my muscles were hungry!9 -

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.

10/15: just realized that tomorrow will be the last accurate weight for a while. I'm having bunion/hammertoe corrective surgery tomorrow afternoon and I'll be in a boot for quite a while. I'm not too worried about the surgery, but am not looking forward to the limitations on movement and driving. I'll be glad when this is behind me.

RND 275 - JGMTD #45
Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
#HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
#helpfulhabits
About Me & R275 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… !

✅ 🏋️♀️20🚶♀️11k 💤 4hrs 🎾
Pg 20g
Decided to go ahead and attempt the 72 hour fast. I’m on 36 hours. Only 16oz of bone broth yesterday (plus 2black coffee and 80oz 💦). Only water/black coffee for the next 36 hours.
I’m not doing this for weight loss. Doing it to give my system, a brake & regenerate cells. If you’re ever interested in learning about fasting /benefits, there is a plethora of information on the Internet.
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 8 o’clock last night.
Yesterday: I played 🎾3hrs & 30 min of 🏀 with my DGS & 20 min🏋️♀️. Just kept 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 R274…. 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 of 10 days.
4. 🏋️♀️6/10!
10/13 ⚖️128.0 (fasting) 59hrs in. ⬇️3.4lbs 💦💦💦 🚶♀️4k. 💤6.5hrs.
Early yesterday I had a great deal of energy. By 10AM I was zonked then zonked the entire day. Felt my energy just disappear - whoosh! Laid low. Walked around town a little but that was it. 💦💦💦& electrolytes. Did not nap yesterday although I tried. My last 72hr fast I only felt hungry for a couple of hrs around the 48hr mark… Not this time. Yesterday, I was hungry all day & eve… hungry now. Don’t know the difference but this fast has been much more challenging. (At least from my recollection).
My body feels clean. No headache. Feels like I’m floating. Let’s see what happens today. I’m planning steak & eggs to break fast at 6PM.
10/14 128.6
✅🚶♀️9k 💤6 hrs 💦 P:E 1.1:1; Pg 106
I broke my fast yesterday at 2PM (68 hours…) Gave a tennis lesson to DGS, which consisted of only feeding balls at the net… When I got home, I was pretty weak & laid down…. Simply could not recover from the weakness, so I said to myself “What’s four hours”? Hubby is still away on his bike trip & I thought “let me take care of myself and make sure I don’t faint.” Ate half a ribeye. Totally restored my energy! Protein drink & greek yogurt @ 6PM. Beautiful walk in the evening.
Don’t know why fasting full 72hrs was successful twice before & not this time but I’m proud of 68hrs adhering to my body/limits. I don’t feel like I failed. I listened & took care of myself! 💪🏻
What did I learn? I learned that I have self-discipline and can move my thought patterns to positive self-determination. I can switch gears. I can conquer temptation. Most hunger pangs simply disappear …. Of course, until you feel faint 😎. When you know you know…
💤 Didn’t sleep well again. Trusting after I get moving this morn I’ll feel stronger. I feel clean & hoping to feel even better as the morning progresses. Also trusting my body absorbed all benefits from the fast.
I want to 🚶♀️⏱️🏋️♀️ today. Will check my energy levels. Onward!

Movement: chose to only 🚶♀️yesterday. Still building energy.
Ate @11AM. Poached eggs and sliced avocado. Delicious! 4pm: Ground beef w/ chopped onion topped w/diced tomato, cilantro and sliced avocado for dinner. Another win.
6PM One protein shake. Oikos Pro high protein yogurt with a tablespoon of sugar-free dark chocolate pieces. Yum!
Repeat same today. Hoping to keep ⚖️ in 130lb range and continue 🏋️♀️🚶♀️⏱️.

Round 275
Oct 13 - 22, 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!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/13 – 133.8 yesterday was not perfect, but the results of the previous two days wore off
10/14 – 134.2 attended get together at friend’s house yesterday, then came home and ate a WHOLE bag of chocolate covered pretzels. Anyhow, today start a challenging stretch for me. DH will be out of town for 10 days. In the past, I don’t cook and just eat ice cream and other junk while he is gone. My goal for myself it to actually eat meals while he is gone. Preferably, home cooked and trackable meals.
10/15 – 134.2 I actually ate somewhat like a normal person yesterday. But I finished my day with microwaved popcorn and I think there may be some sodium at play this morning. (Oops, Happy Anniversary to me and DH - I totally forgot until I saw today's posting date. :P )
