    Day/Weight/Comment
    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 192.2

    10/23 -192.0- (Trend weight -192.4-) A teeny-weeny drop to start the round but I was really hoping for more of this travel weight to disappear. I had a fantastic food day yesterday. The planned exercise was lacking but I did get in a little bit of raking. Wishing you all a safe, healthy, happy and successful round. I appreciate you all so much!

    10/24 -191.0- (Trend weight -192.3-) Finally back down and just below the pre-travel weight. Now to hold onto my progress! I try to pre-log my day the night before but didn’t get to it yesterday. I’m off to make sure that gets done now….before it’s too late!!!!!

    10/25 -xxxxx- (Trend weight -xxxxx-)

    10/26 -xxxxx- (Trend weight -xxxxx-)

    10/27 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    10/28 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    10/29 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    10/30 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    10/31 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    11/01 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

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

    currently dealing with top of foot pain when I walk.

    I had that problem about a year ago. I looked at some videos of how to apply KT tape and did that for a couple of weeks after x-ray showed nothing and doc had no idea!

    @theslightedgeforever - be careful with the top of foot pain. I have had issues on both of my feet at times over the past two years - ignored it and ended up with stress fractures and had to wear a boot for 8 weeks. The most recent issue happened this past summer and despite the boot and mostly getting back to activity, it still bothers me after I spend a lot of time on it. The cause - both times - was lack of or faulty orthotics. If you have any arch issues - go see a podiatrist and get the proper support. Pushing through the pain might lead to a bigger issue.

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 276 (my 206th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

    This round sees no planned travel, so is a good opportunity to have the most perfect round, want to stay strong & make the round a successful one.
    Goals for this round;
    • First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
    • to weigh less at the end of the round than the start
    • be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
    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 youngest 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.

    I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

    Highest weight 242 lbs
    Lowest weight 142 lbs (2019)
    Re-start JGMTD Feb 2024 @ 204 lbs

    Round 275 End Weight 172.8

    10/23- 171.6
    10/24- 173.0
    10/25- 173.0 I feel every pound of it! And this is with no movie popcorn!!!
    I am not going to panic. Sometimes I have blips up that I can dismiss but these last two weeks are not a blip. It’s an actual gain. I am gaining weight.
    This is the exact pivot point where the slow creep up begins. This is live footage.
    I can’t just stay the course or trust the process, I need to shake this up.
    It’s time to give myself some tough love.

    Interesting to note the direct correlation with gardening season unwinding- I still have a few weeks of work but it’s definitely lessening. This is my trouble zone every year.
    But this year I am going to meet it head on and make this the winter of total health!

    Sometimes I find myself eating out of boredom. 😬"

    Love this!
    Right now, in a boot staying in the room next to the kitchen? Boredom is screaming to me from the pantry. There's Halloween candy in there so it's especially loud.

    @Leigh_b Ugh, sorry to hear that you got stuck with Covid, even if it did have the side effect of weight loss. Hope this challenge can motivate you to keeping it off and continuing to lose, this time without the accompanying feeling-like-death that comes with Covid.

    @_JeffreyD_ Gorgeous photo! I have no idea if you play video games lol but one that I enjoy incorporates the area around there. Much more lovely in real life, but it's always cool to see how close the developers got.

    @doseofcrazy I am not a gamer. But I sure love the area. The video game built around my area would be a variation of billiards. Flat as a pancake.

    About Me & R276 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” & “Healthy Strong Fit” 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: Protein g 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, 6x per round. 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 110-125g 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 115g to 125g 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… !

    I pre-tracked protein shake then forgot it. Quite easy to fall under protein. Solid day but was still sore from previous day so took it easy. Today will be another “physical” day with 🏋️‍♀️⏱️.

    This round I got hung up on the daily scale, somewhat… vs the process. I decided to fast and that threw me off my plan to build muscle. In reality, the “daily” scale should not be a “priority” if I am focusing to lose fat / gain muscle. My body fluctuates. A LOT. It still bothers me if it ticks up, but of course, not if it ticks down. I am getting better to not let the scale rule my day… But I cannot deny that it certainly impacts my mood, however nuanced. I should know better! I’m thinking next round, I’ll weigh every three days to see how that shift impacts my mood/ determination & self discipline. I remember when I first started JGMTD that I weighed every three days… perhaps best for me? Onward!

    10/23 130.2 Overboard on protein yesterday. I strained a quadricep playing tennis so 🚫🏋️‍♀️after. Will nurse it today. Gosh, I wrote out my goals yesterday for this round, so I hope I don’t need to adjust Looking forward to a good day of rest, walking, and maybe some 🏋️‍♀️upper body.

    10/24 🚶‍♀️11k 🏋️‍♀️10min 📚💤8hrs 💦P:E .9, P88g (missed Protein goal)
    Quadricep still painful but walked anyway. Better today. 🏋️‍♀️brief upper body. (Did skull crushers which are NOT my fav because I’m always afraid I’m going to crush my skull). Feeling those puppies this morn!
    Today – 🏋️‍♀️30 min & 🚶‍♀️. Rest quad one more day. DGS this afternoon & Mexican with the ladies this eve. Will order ceviche! Wont adjust my R276 activity goals downward because I pledge to catch up.

    NSV: Went shopping yesterday and purchased a skirt, pants and a couple of tops…. SIZE…. SMALL! (Size 6). TBH I could’ve purchased the 4, but I wasn’t 100% confident I would stay “here” I gave myself a little wiggle room. Plus, I’m not 30! Felt really good tho! I know many of us have yo-yoed throughout the years (owning multiple, MULTIPLE clothes sizes: me: sizes 2-14) so purchases on the lower-end can be daunting… But I went for it yesterday.

    Did not track Mexican dinner. Had shrimp Fajitas/requested “no oil” and just a few chips. One mezcal /lime juice. I consider that a victory. Surprisingly, pretty good sleep last night.

    Attempting a little tennis this morning. I think my quad is back almost 95%. Will hit other goals except holding off on ⏱️ one more day. Happy weekend!

    10/23 - 194.8/194.9
    I’ve backslid on my fasting after supper the past few days, and although I didn’t eat junk, I still need to get back to not eating at night. I’m going to try switching to herbal tea or warm unsweetened almond milk to satisfy my “need.” This is a more challenging week than normal, too, as I had brunch with a friend yesterday and am meeting different friends for breakfast tomorrow and lunch Friday. Breakfasts are hard—very few places have much available in the healthy eating range. But I’m trying! I’ve been better about walking regularly at least. And I’ve been knitting up a storm to get a few things ready to donate to holiday fair. I won’t bore you with everything, but here’s a baby hat I finished Monday.

    I ate responsibly yesterday, but feel very bloated today for some reason. Oh, well. I’ll just keep on keeping’ on.

    @Leigh_b Thank you for sharing your experience. I've had it for years and it does flare up occasionally. Recently I substituted fashion for support and am paying for it. All these decisions do is slow me down.

    @quiltingjane I just applied the KT tape two days ago and it helped me on the treadmill. But good advice on watching YouTube videos. I just did it how I think it would have worked. I'm sure I can do it better though. Quicker healing. I'm trying to find some stretches that will help too.
