Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 276

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)
10/31: 229.2 lbs (Well, it WAS a scale fluke, or Halloween prank! I did a total fast yesterday, drank lots of water, but the scale shows I'm UP .2 lbs! LOL)

BrenM1985 · October 31

Started weight loss journey at 167 on April 1, 2022. 39/f standing tall at a woping 4’11” 🤣

Been away for a few rounds and am up a few pounds. Ready to dial the nutrition back in and work towards my ultimate goal.

RND 221 end weight: 125 (-0.7)
RND 222 end weight: 122.1 (-2.9)
RND 223 end weight: 120.4 (-1.7)
RND 224 unknown
RND 225 end weight: 119.5 (-0.4)
RND 226 - RND 246 n/a
RND 247 end weight 124.1 (2.0)
RND 248 - RND 275 n/a

RSW: 125.7
RGW: 123
UGW: 110-115

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.

@SheilaBoneham: I totally understand your frustration and hope a "reset" helps you find your way to feeling better about everything. Stay close so we know what you're up to!!

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.

10/31. 153.2. And I'm up again. Just slightly, though. And I know I'm doing everything right, so this is just part of the ebbs and flows involved with having a body. I just need to keep reminding me of this.

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.

10/31: 👻🎃 Happy Halloween to all! It's a bit nostalgic now; I miss the years when my daughters and I would take their "little ones" trick or treating; now they're all out with their friends (and a different kind of cute.) and use pillowcases instead of plastic pumpkins. No more Ninja Turtles and Unicorns...

Yes, we have candy in the house but I seem to be able to pass that up (unless I start). I treat candy like cigarettes these days- once I broke the habit, why mess it up? Last night I was tempted by my DP's foray into Tony's Chocoloney (worth the calories), but I thought about it: I can have one small square, and then I'll be thinking about the rest of that bar all night. Wait 10 minutes and decide: is it worth it? I forgot about it, so it wasn't.

Still "ish" on weighing- Dr said 2 more weeks on crutches, but I can put my foot down for balance. I'll behave. Now I'm motivated to get this done.

itladyee · October 31

Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later.
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
For Round 276, I'm hoping to just be less than where I started. Lots of stuff going on that's not conducive to my plan

So here we go (last quarter) 2024... my motto(s) - All the things I need to read daily!!!
🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Lose weight in the kitchen ⚖️, get fit in the gym🏋🏾‍♀️
Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!

Goals this round:
Resuming structure~Goals and Targets
- Closing my rings M-S🚶🏽
- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget > Plan for 1250 - Flex for 400 = 1650 (1250 - 1650) with small frequent meals🍎

@deepwoodslady ~ nice Drop!

@SheilaBoneham ~ Take the break that you need. It's particularly hard over the holidays. Come back when you're ready but do drop in to say hello.

@Skyleen75 ~ Hang in there. I totally understand. I'm ecstatic one moment and then emotion the next. Not sure what's going on, but like you said, it doesn't have tobe resolved today.

@baodell17724 ~ I hear you, hopefully you'll see a drop tomorrow! It is odd though.

@brenM1985 ~ slight uptick, but you are doing well!

@zaxa2021 ~ ebbs and flows exactly. Stay the course!

@judefit1 ~ Don't rush it. Follow Dr.'s Orders

Happy Halloween to those who observe

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!

We ate late again last night… The last night out with the “Birthday 🎂” mindset. Had a wonderful time! ⚖️ - no doubt this reflects the late nite. I chose wisely but then…. split a tiramisu with hubby. And actually, it was the BEST tiramisu I’ve ever had!

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. 😳😢

👻🎃 Disclaimer: I’ve never been big into Halloween, so it’s no big deal for me… We NEVER get any children at our door, so we quit buying candy years ago…

Just read this:

“Those who are in shape have discipline. It’s as simple as that. They don’t eat whatever they want. They don’t work-out only when they feel like it. They don’t give into every craving they have. Want to get in shape? Get disciplined.”

Im the youngest of four children and all of us were big into sports. I remember we were a “swim team” family… Morning swim practices, where my mom dragged us out of bed. “I really don’t care that you don’t feel like getting up this morning… I really don’t feel like taking you, but we’ve made a commitment and you’re going to get up and go swim this morning.”

This dialog plays through my head often… It’s not about feelings.

“It’s a full-time job believing in yourself. No days off”.

Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping us accountable. 🫶

pezhed · October 31

@itladyee I hear you on figuring out life. It just keeps lifing. So sorry about the loss of your friend.

@Chapter_3 that's a good quote on discipline. And the anecdote about your mom makes me so anxious about how to handle kid activities. I know in hindsight I wish my mom had made me stick with things more, but at the same time I VERY much wanted to quit when she let me. Thankful I have more discipline these days but I sure do with I'd stuck with those violin lessons LOL.

@judefit1 Agree about Tony's chocolate. It's so yummy and so rich that just one bite is enough. Most chocolate that kids get trick or treating is not nearly as satisfying and leaves you wanting more. I'm sure that's by design. Unfortunately (and fortunately) my husband does not moderate well with Tony's and I usually end up getting very little overall! And I do still love Reese's, ugh. Still have resisted our big pumpkins so far!

@baodell17724 bodies are weird! Keep on keeping on!

@Skyleen75 I thought your Boo was seasonally themed but then I read on. Glad you're picking yourself up and feeling positive going into today!

@quiltingjaine I hate candy corn too and YET, when it's around, for some reason I eat it. I guess it's just the open bag that usually floats around the counter until the bag is emptied. If I just put it away I'm sure I'd never eat it.

🏃🏻‍♀️ 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.

10/31 - 132.8 🏃🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🚫📝 Happy halloween! Excited to take the boys trick-or-treating tonight! We're definitely in the golden years where they still need us to go with them but they can run on their own, no wagon required this year (3 and 5). We'll do our street with the neighbor kids and then walk over to one of the adjacent bigger neighborhoods. It will be a nice night for it, high of 75 today in Virginia. Not a typical Halloween, that's for sure.

Yesterday I decided to sign up for a half marathon. I had seen a sign for a study taking place through the local university on the effect of thyroid function on adult female endurance athletes and asked them for details. They said to take part in the study I'll have to run 15 miles a week through February. Signing up for a race is the only way to commit. February also is the month I'll turn 40, and I have to go to San Francisco for work. SO I looked to see if there were any races around the time I'll be there, and there's a half marathon on February 2nd, about a week before my birthday on the 10th! I texted my friend group from my Philadelphia days, and two of my friends (now in Seattle and Vermont) are going to meet me for the race and do the corresponding 10k! I'm super excited and surprised this all cropped up in one day!

Okay, long babble today. Apologies! Today I'm going to take the dogs on my first training run and then meet a friend to go rock climbing! Then do my job at some point too

@judefit1- "I treat candy like cigarettes these days- once I broke the habit, why mess it up?"

You're so right! I will try my best to think of the candy I hand out tonight as a bad habit, (for me, that is, hopefully not for the children). Thanks for the tip.

deepwoodslady · October 31

@pezhed How exciting that your friends will meet you in San Fran! I appreciate your dedication to health and self. It teaches me more than you know. Thanks so much for sharing this.

@Blueberries59 As someone in Northern Michigan where we are smack dab in the middle of bow hunting season, bird season and small game season (as well fishing season for Salmon, Walleye and more) I chuckled OUT LOUD when you mentioned that it's the beginning of EATING SEASON. But Oh, So True! Thanks for making a fun day like Halloween a little more fun with your wit and humor!

10/29 -194.2- (Trend weight—192.4)

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!

10/31 -190.6- (Trend weight-192.3-) A nice drop again after the TMI finally came along that was missing yesterday. Gravitating toward the 180’s slowly and in stealth mode. Perhaps I can sneak up on it and it won’t notice! My monthly challenges ending today show that I am down exactly 3 lbs for the month of October. Honestly, I think its kind of ridiculous that I have such a difficult time reaching the goal of 4 lbs per month which is only 1 pound per week. So much effort put in on most of the days but it just goes to show you (me) that those few days, restaurant choices or occasions can really make a difference in a bad way. But I am thankful I’ve ended at a loss and not a gain. That is not always the case. Anyway, Have a safe evening my friends and let us all try to remember that the candy belongs to our kids, grandkids and random trick-or-treaters. Not you or me. Yes, even the Reese‘s Peanut Butter Cups!

You and all the others are welcome! As I have said before, I do it for myself too! And I think of this almost daily and thank you, Charissa for putting it out here! “Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!”

I have a well stocked liquor cabinet and am the only imbiber in the house.🤦‍♀️

@baodell17724 ~ I hear you, hopefully you'll see a drop tomorrow! It is odd though.

Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 days for things to show up on my scale!🤷‍♀️

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!
10/31 133.0 I behaved at GC. I got a piece of baked fish which tasted very fishy and super salty. I expected to go up today.

Previous Day's Comments

10/23 - 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!
10/25 - DNP
10/26 - DNP
10/27 - DNP
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.
10/30 - 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.

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)
10/31: 229.2 lbs (Well, it WAS a scale fluke, or Halloween prank! I did a total fast yesterday, drank lots of water, but the scale shows I'm UP .2 lbs! LOL)
11/1: 228.6 lbs (Ahhh... well, TODAY's weight makes more sense! LOL)

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.

11/1: popcorn and "Psycho" while DP handed out the candy last night- I haven't seen it since I was a kid, and it's still sinister! Anthony Perkins was amazing! I never saw the first 10 minutes before, as it must have been cut for TV in those days- murder was OK, sex not so much:-)

So much fun to see the kids in costume. We had less than usual even though it was crazy warm here. As @Blueberries59 put it so eloquently, "October 31st is the opening day of Eating Season, the 100 day period fraught with temptations and perils." Last year I gained 10 lbs between Oct- Dec. This year I have you guys!
See you in the next 10 days!

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.

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.

PS This group is filled with gifted writers (including comedians) possessing the unique ability to succinctly express many of my own thoughts & feelings…. perfectly. No reason for me to chime-in except to say thank you! Each vulnerable message touches my heart and validates my own inner-struggles. What a team we have here!

10/25 🚶‍♀️8k 🏋️‍♀️10min 📚💤8hrs
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!

10/26 ⚖️132.0 💤 7hrs 🚶‍♀️8k 🏋️‍♀️10min 💦 P:E .80 (Tiramisu); Pg 100 🎾 2hrs

We ate late again last night… The last night out with the “Birthday 🎂” mindset. Had a wonderful time! ⚖️ - no doubt this reflects the late nite. I chose wisely but then…. split a tiramisu with hubby. And actually, it was the BEST tiramisu I’ve ever had!

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. 😳😢
DGS soccer today and 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️!
I have to force myself to 🏋️‍♀️!

Six full days left to MAKE R276 count! Onward!

P:E ratio has been off the last several days. Last night I had a TCBY with a drizzle of Oreos/Reeses ….

👻🎃 Disclaimer: I’ve never been big into Halloween, so it’s no big deal for me… We NEVER get any children at our door, so we quit buying candy years ago…

Just read this:

“Those who are in shape have discipline. It’s as simple as that. They don’t eat whatever they want. They don’t work-out only when they feel like it. They don’t give into every craving they have. Want to get in shape? Get disciplined.”

Im the youngest of four children and all of us were big into sports. I remember we were a “swim team” family… Morning swim practices, where my mom dragged us out of bed. “I really don’t care that you don’t feel like getting up this morning… I really don’t feel like taking you, but we’ve made a commitment and you’re going to get up and go swim this morning.”

This dialog plays through my head often… It’s not about feelings.

“It’s a full-time job believing in yourself. No days off”.

Give myself a “D” this round. I purposely listed each goal individually, and when I injured my quadricep, it just changed everything… But… I still had PLENTY of opportunities to reach EVERY goal and chose not to … Defiant. Drifted. Discipline disappeared. November will be BETTER! See y’all in R277 with a fresh perspective. So glad it’s the start of a new month & round!
I will start next round with the same goals from this round.

You: So much wisdom this round… I appreciate all of you!

@pezhed
Love your challenge!
It’s time-specific, optimistic/ attainable & measurable! You got this! All wrapped around a milestone BD! Gosh-it’s perfect!

I’m inspired. What can I do to jump-start my “drift”?! Sometimes, we just may need a BHAG! (Big, Harry, Audacious, Goal)!

PS- (I lived in San Francisco for eight years… Where my son was born… Wonderful memories.)

Round 276
Oct 23 – Nov 1, 2024

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: 134.4 (Used 10/24 for start)

Day/Weight/Comment

10/23 – DNW

10/24 – 134.4 Stumbled for a few days, but made it back quickly. I’ll take that win!

10/25 – 134.8 did not report in, distracting day

10/26 – 135.6 Oh well, yesterday was going to go well enough and I should be some sort of 134. On short notice, I needed to entertain my sister and BIL. He is celiacs, so easy solution is pizza with his being gluten free, and then Haagen Daz Ice cream that they (and I) love. Ate a little heavy with them, then binged as soon as they left (an entertaining type issue that I do). Unfortunately, today was my target day that I referenced back in September. It is my father’s celebration of life (one year), as well as my 63rd birthday. I wanted get back to 130. It did not happen, BUT I am looking at it as, had I not made any effort during those months, my weight would be higher. I will get through today, and then work on my focus again.

No time for reading posts unfortunately, but I saw a gorgeous new baby. Congrats @itladyee

10/27 – 136.0 Opps. Long day yesterday

10/28 – DNW

10/29 – DNW Trying to get back on track. Sister and BIL leave town tonight. I have eaten an entire box of chocolates in 24 hours and numerous pints of Ben and Jerry Ice Cream since they arrived. All when no one is around. I need to get back to normal.

10/30 – DNW

10/31 – DNW

11/1 – 135.2 While I am disappointed with my actions, I am very grateful that the scale was kind. The distractions of this round are over and ready to be here fully for round 277.

Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 276
