10/29 - 157.5 - Dropped off some bloat, thankfully. I'm still battling a bit of it but I know these things can take a couple of days. I barely managed to get my full gallon in yesterday but I did it! I hit all my goals and am feeling good. BF has a very wet chesty cough so both of us have been having awful sleep. Hoping I don't catch whatever it is he has. On track for today for all goals and am quite satisfied.

Previous Day's Comments10/23 - Day 1 and already at goal! Now to maintain or improve on that. I didn't realize I had more bloat/water weight to drop but apparently I did. I wouldn't be surprised if I don't drop off from here much and that's okay. I'm still in a slight deficit but it is small enough it won't be sudden drastic changes. I am still quite sore this week as I start increasing back to my pre-vacation weights in the gym so I'm probably holding on to some water in my muscles as well. Food was good yesterday and today is planned out to meet all my goals. I need to focus on water early so I can avoid the 2am wakeups which I did successfully last night YAY! Steps are high for the time of day already so I shouldn't have any issue meeting that goal. Meditation is done and feeling good. Now if only work would stop being stressful - 2 of my projects are terribly far behind and it's hard to catch up when I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing and still need to be taught how to do some of the work (it's a program). Very frustrating but trying my best to lower my stress and remind myself it's not my fault - I can't get in trouble for not knowing and needing to be taught. Especially since I have evidence that I'm asking for the help/guidance/teachings and I'm getting very delayed or no responses in return. I'm doing the right thing and that is all I can do.
10/24 - Slight uptick but not enough to change much. I realized I typo-ed yesterday and put 155.6 so I've corrected that. All is well here. Tonight for dinner we're going out since we'll be in town around dinner for our haircuts and it is easier. That will be my first of two untracked "intuitive" meals for the week. Tomorrow night is our annual VFD Fundraiser/Appreciation Dinner and I'll leave that as an untracked "intuitive" meal since it's a catered one. Everything else should be home and track-able (at least estimated well enough). Workouts completed and all goals met!

10/28 - Bloated after a hectic weekend. We had the fire department fundraiser/appreciation dinner Saturday and then a Halloween party after. Yesterday we stayed in and lazed around but I was very far behind on water. I managed 108oz of it, though, so only 20oz shy of goal (1 gallon) but it wasn't enough to offset. I'm also incredibly sore - we had a lot of heavy lifting to set up and tear down before/after the dinner. Coach isn't changing anything this week so sticking to habits. I managed to hit all my goals yesterday except water (close though!) so hopefully today I can manage to get the water down in a timely manner and check those boxes to get this scale moving down again.

I’ve made a big goal for this round because things have been a little off for me nutritionally lately. I know if I buckle down I’ll drop a little bit quickly before evening out to more regular loss pace.

🎷 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.

10/27 141.8 – (trend 142.1) Guessing this is yesterday’s pizza night with the extra sodium & carbs even though calories were on point. Walked an amazing 13.45 miles. The start was at the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct; where very atmospheric mist hung around the hills. Which as we walked along the Llangollen canal, quickly burnt off and became warm autumn sunshine. This l showed up well at the Horseshoe Falls that we reached, before we walked back.

But I don’t want to!!!!!!!!
I had thought October was going to be the month I officially stay under 170 but instead it’s my month of a reality check. I actually have to consistently eat less if I want results, that means weekends too. My health and diet are not a Mon-Fri job!!!!
Sigh, DD and a gaggle of friends will be coming for her birthday weekend. She is a very healthy eater but en masse a group of early twenty something’s require regular feedings.

10/27 156.8 Trunk or Treat today at church, so there was chocolate! It’ll be fine, whatever it is tomorrow.
10/28 156.6
10/29 157 The last two days were probably a bit of a false low, so this uptick was expected. Nutrition was good but water and exercise are still both low most days. I have a doctor’s appointment today with blood work. I’m excited to see what the 35 lb. weight loss and changes in my food choices does to those results. I’m already way down on my blood pressure meds from when I began back in March.
10/30 156.6 Got in a good walk yesterday morning then had a wonderful doctor’s appointment. She was very congratulatory on my loss and encouraged me to just find a weight within normal BMI that I am comfortable at. My current goal is the upper end of normal BMI, so I will probably adjust it down a little as I get closer, but honestly, I think if I can just maintain anywhere below the 150, I’ll be happy. I don’t feel the need to be skinny—just healthy! It’ll be the maintaining part that is hard. Time will tell! Have a great day, everyone!

📣#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!

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.

Felt good to get out on the tennis court again however, my quad is definitely not fully healed. Will take the weekend off … and will plan my fuel accordingly. ⏱️ goals are at risk this round. 😳😢

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.

Round 276
SW - 145.9
10/23 - 146.6 - Despite essentially being stuck in bed with covid, I ventured out today to watch my 17 y/o daughter run the last Cross Country race of her high school career. She has been plagued with health issues for the past year and has had an extremely disappointing season. She has been a varsity runner since she was in 7th grade. Last year she was the fastest girl on the team and the only one to qualify for the State meet at the end of the season. She had her sights set on running for a college team after she graduated. This year, her senior year, she did not make the varsity cut. Over the past year, her health has made training nearly impossible and she no longer has the strength or speed to keep up. It is not her fault, but so disappointing, frustrating, and embarrassing for her. To make matters more complicated, her younger sister is a freshman this year, and DID make the varsity team. It’s tough being the mom of both girls - one who is having a disappointing and dream-crushing season and one who is coming in strong and having an amazing first year. Today was the last race for the non-varsity runners - and even though I probably should not have gone - I wanted to be there for her. If she were on the varsity team, she would be running in the regional finals in two days, but instead of wallowing in self-pity she decided to run hard this one last time and finish her year strong. I am beyond proud of her overcoming her pride and disappointment and enjoying this race and the moment she was in. She rallied all the JV girls - led them through their warm-up, laughed with them, encouraged them and then lined up at the starting line and then she ran her heart out. She pulled ahead early - and never looked back. She finished first (out of 120 girls) with a time of 22:16 and a good 30 second gap before the next girl crossed the finish line. It was not the 19:23 she was running last year - but she persevered through the season and never backed down. She never gave up and ran her best effort every time she toed the line. I am so proud of her and I just wanted to share that with someone 🙂.
10/24 - 146.9 - nothing of interest to note today. Still home with Covid and working remotely. Finally feeling a little more human - went out at lunch for a walk to be in the sunshine and beautiful fall weather. Tried to pick up the pace a bit and my lungs got angry with me - hopefully they will feel less irritated tomorrow.
10/25 - 147.7 - going the wrong way - but not by much and I’m hoping once I can get up and moving again things will stabilize.
10/26 - 148.5 - so much the wrong direction 😕. Finally tested negative and went out for mexican (DH's idea) to celebrate. It was VERY salty and i didnt drink enough water. Hoping to see it go back down tomorrow - although im not drinking enough water today either so it might be still another day before i see a change in the right direction.
10/27 - DNW
10/28 - 147.5
10/29 - 147.9 I woke up in a panic Sunday morning having slept late and only having 20 mins before I had to leave the house - and things have been hectic and chaotic since then. Completely forgot to weig30but then saw a nice loss Monday and slight uptick today. Work is crazy stressful again. Worked until 8:30 tonight. Second night in a row ive lacked will power and binge ate halloween candy. Last night it was because I hadn't eaten enough all day and was out of control hungry. Tonight I was stress eating. I need to get my crap together. I have to dress up fancy and get my picture taken in just over a week - binge eating candy is NOT what I need to be doing 🥴

SW RND 276 - October 22nd, 2024 - 232.6 lbs
10/23: 231.8 lbs (Yesterday was a 500-calorie 'fast day')
10/24: 232.6 lbs (I guess the half-bottle of white wine and 4 cheddar rice cakes - and not enough water - were the culprits!)
10/25: 230.8 lbs (Yesterday, was a total fast day - except for morning coffee and unsweetened herbal tea. It was easy doing the fast, as I got totally agitated with my food delivery person who totally flaked out with my grocery order and I ended up in a fight with the supermarket! So I didn't feel like eating! I think all the aggravation burned extra calories. Problem was resolved in my favor, eventually.)
10/26: 229.8 lbs (Yesterday I was tired physically and took TWO naps during the day... but managed to "trudge" through 2 hours of peddling, but with four breaks inbetween. Found out I have a new vegetable I HATE, and threw away! Edamame, which are young soybeans.)
10/27: 229.2 lbs (More energy yesterday for peddling. Yesterday, I cooked a HUGE new VAT of cabbage soup. Hoping I can make room for at least 4 quart containers in my freezers. In any case, I'll be eating A LOT of cabbage soup this coming week! LOL)
10/28: 229.4 lbs (Two big bowls of cabbage soup yesterday! LOL Wondering how many of you went on the "cabbage soup diet" which was all the craze some years back???)
10/29: 229.2 lbs (Today, is normally my 500-calorie "fast" day, but I dunno!)
10/30: 229.0 lbs (Unless this was a fluke in the scale, I LOST .2 lbs having snacked on THREE small croissants with pumpkin-butter last night? Today is DEFINITELY a total fast day, except for 0-calorie beverages)

Travel day yesterday along with travel food.
Trip to Boone, NC for the wedding was good. We saw the tip of the iceberg regarding damage, but I was encouraged by what I saw happening. People are resilient.
On the way home we stopped for a couple days at New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia. Stunning beauty. Fall color.
We return with a lot of yard work to get done. Lawn is covered in leaves. Should be home for this entire round so time to make a dent in it. I can’t wrap my head around November being a part of this round.
10/24: 220.4
/logged; exercised; 75 oz water/
Accomplished a lot of yard work yesterday, and a lot of paperwork for my parents. Stopped in to visit with them also.

Bad social day yesterday. Lots of salt, and food, and no TMI.
I am a skin bag full of retained water, chow and other. I feel like a water balloon.
Not worried, it will go away. Onward.

Did a yoga class at the gym yesterday. Long time since the last one. Ouch. I should keep it up and do at least a few “asanas” each day in addition to my usual screentimeasana.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.6 -
Hi all, I'm Amanda, 39F. Grateful for another round!
R276 SW: 133.2
R276 GW: 131.8
Non-scale goals (tracked for previous day each morning):
🏃🏻♀️ or 🏋🏻♀️ work out 7/10 days
🚫 no drinking 5/10 days
📝 tracking 6/10 days
⏱️ intermittent fast 6/10 days
10/23 - 131.6 🏋🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🚫📝 ⏱️ Grateful for the whoosh! Had a very compliant day yesterday. I could feel the water finally leaving me (read: I had to pee in the grocery store and then 30 minutes later when I got home). Probably hormonal. Had a high energy day and grocery shopped for high protein foods and a couple of dinners. Voted, lifted weights, and then went for a run. Had a work meeting with my manager to talk about work I can support while my projects are paused. Overall a very very good day! Planning on another good one today. Walked dogs a couple miles, planning to strength training, then go indoor rock climbing. Not planning on every day being this active but trying to take advantage of the lull in work. Hope everyone else is having a good start to R276!
10/24 - 131.4 🏋🏻♀️🚫📝 ⏱️ Glad to not see a rebound from the whoosh yet. I was feeling puffy late in the day and thought for sure I would. Glad to have a rest day from lifting. Yesterday when I was doing front squats I got a realllllly bad exertion headache. I inhaled some food and came back and finished the workout later but it scared me a bit. I took the dogs for a little fall color hike this morning, not very long but they got some good sniffs and I got to enjoy the color.
10/25 - 131.8 📝 ⏱️ Not mad about this fluctuation. I did go over my calories yesterday but probably not above maintenance. However, I drank beer for the first time this round. I'm really gonna have to be mindful this weekend since we have social events continuously! Today I have plans to lift and get the dogs out for a walk. We're going out for Mexican tonight so I'm keeping my calories light today and know I'll see a gain tomorrow from sodium if nothing else. Happy Friday everyone!
10/26 - 131.0 🏋🏻♀️
10/27 - 132.2
10/28 - 134.0 🏋🏻♀️ I have a lot to reflect on today. First, I'm not at all surprised about the number on the scale. We drank quite a bit on Saturday at our friends' house and I woke up yesterday to Hardee's biscuits on the table. I ate a decent lunch, but then snagged a donut at the canvassing event I went to, and then we had pizza and wings during the Bills game. Shew. We also did a trick or treating event yesterday so the candy consumption has begun. Thankfully I'm not overly tempted but I'll have to stay strong all week and longer until it's all gone.
In more long-term reflection, I am trying to really nail down my goals. I keep getting exertion headaches while lifting, so I think lifting heavy/hard while at a calorie deficit is not a good idea. I was telling myself I was going for recomposition but I think my nutrition lacks the precision that that requires, and I don't think I have the capacity to change that while raising my kids. Sure, I could be less festive on the weekends but I can't meal plan for them and then meal plan for myself. That is just not going to happen without continuous failure. So basically I could lift for maintenance and try to lose weight, or eat over my TDEE with sufficient protein and lift heavy to try to gain muscle or strength. It's something I'm going to chew on this week but even struggling with the decision is making me stall. I'm open to advice from anyone here who has experience. My nearly lifelong CICO background has me very scared to purposely overeat.
10/29 - 133.8 🏋🏻♀️📝 Just tracked yesterday's calories and pretty much ate maintenance. I thought I did a decent job drinking water which I thought would flush the weekend away. I did have a carb-heavy dinner at a friend's house so maybe that's part of it. I don't know. Anyway, thanks to Carolyn's help working through my thoughts on how to proceed I decided to keep lifting but not try to push myself to increase the weight. Peloton is chock full of workouts like that, so I did an upper body one yesterday. Today I'm going to go out mountain biking at some point so I don't completely miss the peak color out there! I slept like trash last night thanks to late caffeine yesterday. I'm re-watching Gilmore Girls and I cannot comprehend how they can drink coffee at all hours. If I have a sip at 1pm I am so screwed for that night! I was up until the wee hours and I'm not sure the sleep I did ultimately get was all that restful, especially since I didn't sleep until the 3yo came in to cuddle and shove his feet into my ribs as usual. Ah well. DH is roasting a chicken for dinner so I'm grateful I don't have to think about dinner tonight!
10/30 - 132.4 🏃🏻♀️🚫📝 Glad to have dropped some bloat. I was really on track yesterday. I even declined my favorite candy that DH tried to hand me last night. I don't know why he buys Reese's in advance of Halloween, knowing how we are with those things! I had a beautiful mountain bike ride yesterday! Our leaves are past peak but there are still some nice colors hanging on. Today I'll power walk the dogs and do some lower body lifting.

I'm Julie, 36, 5'3. SAHM to twin toddlers.
SW RND 276: 152.1
10/23: 152.6: It was a good day. 2 short outside walks, 1 treadmill walk. Still don't feel like my hip is up for running. Food was decent, with the exception of some extra white cheddar popcorn that was not needed.
10/24: 152.2. Eating was okay, but I went over on calories due to a larger snack than I was anticipating. I did my walking, both outside and on treadmill.
10/25: 152.6. I would love to be firmly under 152 by the end of this round. I'm happy I'm relatively stable and not gaining, but it's time to see some more progress.
10/26: 154.4. A lot of bad decisions yesterday. But I did do lots of walking.
10/27: 155.5. I played pool with some friends yesterday. That, of course, included a few beers. Add in some fast food, and I'm not surprised with the high weight. I'm getting back to it today and hopefully some of this excess weight will fall off quickly.
10/28: 154.9. I did good yesterday. Did some walking, ate well. Hopefully the rest of the Friday/Saturday indulging weight falls off soon.
10/29: 153.7. My weight is starting to recover from my bad choices over the weekend. Lots of walking. My calories were good. I also threw in some body weight exercises and yoga. Hoping for a tmi soon- a medication I'm on really does a good job backing everything up
10/30: 152.6. Finally back to my Friday morning weight. I have to find a better balance with enjoying weekends when the kids are at Gramma's and gaining a ridiculous amount weight from bad decisions. But I feel like I am in a good headspace now and gaining momentum with making good decisions.

10/29 -194.2- (Trend weight—192.4) Pizza yesterday with my son after early voting. I didn’t expect dinner out but my son really wanted to make voting day “an occasion”. With his autism he is pretty much a creature of habit so because we’ve dined out after voting in the past, he thinks it’s a thing. I don’t eat pizza often anymore like I did in my younger days. I just don’t “crave it” like I used to. But it was good. Wow, what it does to the scale though! I’m going to focus on lots of water today and extra low carb to go with the low calorie plan. It’s supposed to be warmer and beautiful here today. A Capri kind of day. Enjoy yours my friends!
10/30 -192.4- (Trend weight-192.5-) Nice big drop today. I took a page out of the “ Book of @baodell17724 “ and opted for a very low 650 calorie day (and low carb) day. I would also love to do this about once per week as I think it’s a great idea but I’ll have to see how it goes due to my diabetes. Yesterday I felt fine. I’m glad to have lost the pizza bloat and maybe a little fat too. I expect that I will be extra hungry today but I will get through it or yesterday was for nothing! Today is an appointment for my hair cut. Have a great hump day!

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.

Phooey. But well earned. I ate responsibly until after dinner, then completely fell off the IF wagon and ate granola with almond milk and raisins, and two fun-size Almond Joys. But today is planned. Yesterday I made a pot of chicken fajita soup with lots of veggies and very low fat, so that’s dinner, and DH can have the two remaining corn bread muffins. And I’m thinking tuna salad made with guacamole, no mayo, on tomato slices for lunch.

I’ve fallen off the wagon and under the wheels the past few days, and am seriously thinking of stopping all tracking, weighing, and other foci on losing this unwanted weight. These tools worked for me in the past, as they do for many people, but obviously are not working for me now. One definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing expecting different results, and by that I am demonstrably nuts. I’m also feeling a lot of stress between the election, upcoming holidays, and other things. So until the new year, I’m putting my scale out of sight and will try to be conscious of what I eat but not obsessed. I’m going to try to get my Y and walking habits back, for stress reduction and much as anything. Thank you all for sharing your journeys—I plan to keep checking in, though maybe not every day.

10/30 - 156.9 - Another happy little drop off. I'm feeling much leaner and lighter than I have since we got back from vacation so that's good. My body seems to finally be settling into being home and having a routine again. Took longer than I expected but bodies are weird like that. I've finished my workout and my walk so all that's left is stick to my pre-planned meals for the day (which puts me within macros), drink my water, and get about 1,500 more steps to hit all my goals.

Previous Day's Comments10/23 - Day 1 and already at goal! Now to maintain or improve on that. I didn't realize I had more bloat/water weight to drop but apparently I did. I wouldn't be surprised if I don't drop off from here much and that's okay. I'm still in a slight deficit but it is small enough it won't be sudden drastic changes. I am still quite sore this week as I start increasing back to my pre-vacation weights in the gym so I'm probably holding on to some water in my muscles as well. Food was good yesterday and today is planned out to meet all my goals. I need to focus on water early so I can avoid the 2am wakeups which I did successfully last night YAY! Steps are high for the time of day already so I shouldn't have any issue meeting that goal. Meditation is done and feeling good. Now if only work would stop being stressful - 2 of my projects are terribly far behind and it's hard to catch up when I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing and still need to be taught how to do some of the work (it's a program). Very frustrating but trying my best to lower my stress and remind myself it's not my fault - I can't get in trouble for not knowing and needing to be taught. Especially since I have evidence that I'm asking for the help/guidance/teachings and I'm getting very delayed or no responses in return. I'm doing the right thing and that is all I can do.
10/24 - Slight uptick but not enough to change much. I realized I typo-ed yesterday and put 155.6 so I've corrected that. All is well here. Tonight for dinner we're going out since we'll be in town around dinner for our haircuts and it is easier. That will be my first of two untracked "intuitive" meals for the week. Tomorrow night is our annual VFD Fundraiser/Appreciation Dinner and I'll leave that as an untracked "intuitive" meal since it's a catered one. Everything else should be home and track-able (at least estimated well enough). Workouts completed and all goals met!

10/28 - Bloated after a hectic weekend. We had the fire department fundraiser/appreciation dinner Saturday and then a Halloween party after. Yesterday we stayed in and lazed around but I was very far behind on water. I managed 108oz of it, though, so only 20oz shy of goal (1 gallon) but it wasn't enough to offset. I'm also incredibly sore - we had a lot of heavy lifting to set up and tear down before/after the dinner. Coach isn't changing anything this week so sticking to habits. I managed to hit all my goals yesterday except water (close though!) so hopefully today I can manage to get the water down in a timely manner and check those boxes to get this scale moving down again.
10/29 - Dropped off some bloat, thankfully. I'm still battling a bit of it but I know these things can take a couple of days. I barely managed to get my full gallon in yesterday but I did it! I hit all my goals and am feeling good. BF has a very wet chesty cough so both of us have been having awful sleep. Hoping I don't catch whatever it is he has. On track for today for all goals and am quite satisfied.

It was a cold day here. I much prefer walking outside in nature on a sunny day than on the treadmill on a cold one, which is no excuse to not take care of my health. I need to figure out how to keep myself motivated during the colder months or I’ll be on the slippery slope.

10/23 134.0 @5:30am Community Bingo tonight
10/24 133.5 Amazed since bingo dinner was a 4” section of sub. I pulled out all of the soft bread and ate the crusts with the turkey, roast beef, cheese and tomato. Added 1/2 T mayo. Skipped the potato salad and watermelon. Got up early to make blueberry muffins for the guys who drink coffee at the clubhouse. DH’s suggestion since we are going to drown in sourdough starter “discard.”
10/25 134.5 I can NOT keep baked goods in the house! They leap into my mouth when I walk by!!! I got over 8 hours sleep last night and I’m dragging. Hope I’m not getting what DH has!
10/26 134.5 (I think) Got reasonable sleep (7.5 hr) slight headache and my throat feels funny
10/27 134.5 Slept well last night, my throat is fine. DH is being good about using his nebulizer and taking meds. He went over to play poker yesterday-an indicator that he is feeling better.
10/28 134.5 Meeting across town today Yesterday I sliced the remaining bread and froze it with parchment in between the slices and I made a batch of waffles and put them in the freezer. Feeling quite proud of myself at the moment. LOL
10/29 133.5 Yesterday was a good day except for a touch of headache at my right temple. I left my meeting during the demo/class because I wanted to get home before it became a full blown migraine. Fortunately it was a good, quiet afternoon at home.
10/30 133.0 Going to Golden Corral today 🤦♀️ My h/a continues. High temp today is supposed to be 66*F and the humidity is up. As far as Halloween, I have said before, I’m grateful for living in an over 55 neighborhood with no trick or treaters. DH loves candy corn and the little pumpkins made of the same stuff and I can’t stand them! No temptation for me!5 -

Ooof, I've been slacking on my posting here. Trying to keep up with the actual challenging-myself part though!
5'5" 45F Rockin' in for another round.
It's boggling my mind that Halloween will be encompassed in this one. Here's hoping our house is inundated with trick-or-treaters, or that my willpower stays strong. (It helps a bit that I made sure to not get my own favorite candies, but rather my teen sons'. lol They are tall, slim beanpoles who can hoover any leftovers. 
)
I'll be weighing in the morning, but won't post comments about a day until the end of the day. That way I'm sure to not sneak anything in late.
Highest Weight: 190.8 (9/8/24)
Last Round: 185.8-184.2
Non-scale Goals:
Walk or Workout all 10 days - 6/10
Food Logged all 10 days - 7/10
16:8 IF schedule all 10 days - 7/10
Calorie Deficit 9 days - 7/9
Water Only 7 days - 5/7
RND 276 (SW 184.2)
10/23 - 184.0 (Lovely day out. Got out to walk, logged everything, and stayed under calorie goal... just barely. LOL Like by 1. Did have a bit of soda, but not the whole can. Still.. I wanted to grab a sweet treat so badly late last night and resisted, so hooray.)
10/24 - 183.8 (I did NOT want to walk today, just no motivation at all. Eventually as it got closer to evening and I realized I'd have to mark it down here as a day missed, it was just enough to kick me out the door and moving. I'm over here pretending y'all would have shamed me mercilessly otherwise. All other goals met too - food logged, only water, calorie deficit, etc - so a decent day overall.)
10/25 - 183.6 (It was gorgeous outside, really feeling like fall. I took a different route than normal for my walk - always just walking around the neighborhood for ease - and spotted several houses with fab Halloween/fall decorations out. Met all other non-scale goals too. )
10/26 - 182.8 (No idea why the bigger hop down, but I'll take it. Another fab day. Can you tell fall is my favorite? LOL We went down by the river to walk around and take some family photos. I also got in a walk later at home, logged all my food best I could - we hit up a bbq food truck so I had to guesstimate there, cal deficit best I could tell, did not stick to just water though.)
10/27 - 182.6 (Got a walk in - just a small one but still, logged, water only, stayed in calorie deficit, IF hours met.)
10/28 - 182.6 (Walk, check. Food logged, check. In calorie budget, check. Met IF hours, check. Did have soda though.. only water days left for the rest of the challenge. I got this. )
10/29 - 182.4 (Just not feeling great and got a call from school to pick up one of my kids just as I was gearing up to walk.. so a walk didn't happen this day, unfortunately. All other goals met though. )
10/30 - 182.4 (No movement down despite a "good" day.. but at the same time, it's approaching the point of the month when the scale usually bounces up for a few days, so I'll take the static number for sure. Already got my walk in today, there's only water in the house, so if I can just stick on track for supper, I'll be golden! )

10/31- 173.2- BOO!!!!! I binged Halloween candy and still feel sick from it. Yesterday just deteriorated into chaos. I tried to accomplish too much and just ended up not doing any of it well.
I felt defeated at the end of the day and was being hard on myself. And then I binged. Binged with no joy or satisfaction just kept eating candy, it no longer tasted good. It didn’t feel good but I could not stop. It was 100% addiction and some deep emotional hole. I’m gently looking into that hole this morning. It’s big and dark. I have some work to do here. But not all of it has to be done today.
Today is Halloween!
I love seeing all the kids dressed up, it’s a nostalgic feeling.
It’s up to me- I can enjoy this beautiful day or I can be stuck in the garbage feelings of yesterday.
I’m going to choose to dust myself off, drink some water, get some exercise. Feel better. Put one foot in front of the other. Fake it until I make. All of the idioms.
