    @itladyee solid goals you have set. Everyone will be cheering you on.

    @deepwoodslady So sorry about your friend Diane! And also sorry about your furnace issues. We have had two winter incidents in the past two years. One the night we were to leave town for 3 months (got them to come at 11:30 PM to fix) and then this year, then night we arrive back in MA for a week. The first was just a stupid fuse. The second, we ended up buying a new furnace. :(

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 289 (my 219th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.
    So here we go again, I’m just keeping plugging away! New round, this time I need to stop playing around & take it more seriously, I am not in maintenance & I want to get back to where I should be. I will be taking something forward from @Chapter_3 (yet again) if I may "We should be strategically engaged with our lives each day, right?! That’s my word… ENGAGED." " I will try to keep that word ENGAGED in my mind over these new 10 days & also remember that I am the driver of my life & not the passenger. My goal for this round is to get back to 139s. I need to be diligent as only 3-5 days per round staying on the wagon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be & then relaxing for the last 2/3 is not acceptable! I want to stay strong, walk the walk as well as talk the talk! & make the round a successful one. So, goals for this round;
    • First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!
    • 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 am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life. "Health is wealth",

    2/28 143 (trend 142.8) 9.37 miles walked 9.37 miles walked. Feeling very low with myself at the mo., the gain is not only apparent in the fit of clothes but also starting to show in the mirror. I’ve started to withdraw into myself again, really need to pull myself together & sort myself out.

    3/1 DNW - taking yesterday's number as end of round weight as came away in the caravan so no scales. Feel better about myself this morning after the 'downer'; was totally engaged with every mouthful yesterday, need to continue to drive for a healthy life. 0.4 pound gained this round. I'll catch up with the posts later.

    Re-start JGMTD Feb 2024 @ 204 lbs

    Round 288 End Weight 178.4

    03/02 178.4
    03/03 177.6 look at me talking the talk and walking the walk!!! There is something about a Spring awakening that has many of us fired up. I am just telling myself every cliche in the book. Pumping myself up.
    I love that we’re bringing out BHAG! @itladyee Girl, I am in it to go hard for 10lbs in March!!!
    I don’t usually go for big drops in short time frames but since I’m pretty much at a total restart it is actually attainable. The first few weeks of weight loss always has those big beautiful magical drops we love! Also there is nothing like seeing some results to motivate us! Let’s do this!!!

    Warning Big Rant Ahead

    Ugh different topic- I woke up yesterday from a rage dream where my estranged sister had appeared and I was (in my dream) punching a hole in the wall. Wowza right??? She’s a difficult person, ask anyone- family, friends. I won’t bore you with the details but our relationship hit a stumbling block she refused to move past about 15 years ago and I spent the next 12 years just being a puppy getting kicked trying to be her sister. 3 years ago I stopped trying or really caring, went no contact.
    For Christmas last year as a gift to my parents I extended an olive branch to my sister and emailed her to see if she would go to family counseling with me. Not necessary to become besties but to at least be in the same room together.
    I had kind of hoped I wouldn’t actually have to go through with it, my parents were aware and happy that I had tried.
    So yesterday morning I awaken from my rage filled sister dream to an email saying yes to “couples” therapy. Side note- who waits three whole months to answer THAT kind of email!!! Three months without even a “I’m thinking about it”. She’s the worst, I won’t even go into the weird power trip controlling wording of her email. As always I have to remain un-reactive and respond in a neutral tone.

    Ughhhhh now I actually have to do this. And what if I’m ripping off a band aid and have to deal with all of the other bad things we just stuff down and smooth over in life???? lol how many of those feelings have I eaten over the years.



    P.S. this is not a reoccurring dream. I have, like most people had weird stuff bubble up in dreams my whole life. I don’t over think it, I think it’s just part of being human.

    3/2 ⚖️⬆️⬇️ same 2-3lbs. I want 128-130 as my range. By re-focusing on daily habits/commitments, the ⚖️ will range lower. Remember my WHY! My why is to “age younger” maintaining strength, balance, flexibility, and agility - enjoying daily activities with my hubby & grandchildren!

    🏆 Nutrition is key. That’s where the scale is controlled… In the kitchen! Movement is for health & wellness.

    Back to measuring 💦🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️ because those habits slacked-off the entire month of Feb. 🚶‍♀️💓 better but not 💯daily. The birds are singing! Spring is on its way!

    Daily
    3/3 a “very good gal” day. The first day of many, many more to come.🏋️‍♀️ & 🚶‍♀️today! What made yesterday different? Reflection, discipline & my inner-cheerleader. Assumed and Engaged my “#HSF identity” all day, long. Journaled. And…. Fought through the “kitchen wondering”… quieting my negative inner voice and shifting thought patterns… to #HSF Again! (the whistle is still taped on the cabinet!)

    Today, I have meetings with two city councilmen. (Will walk). That project is going well - sleeping better and OCD has subsided. (so far so good.) was that a “season?!” Yes, I believe it was… An OCD season.

    And now…. It’s Mardi Gras season, which I haven’t mentioned yet… Purple, green and gold, masks, beads, music everywhere - means king cakes are out in full force, but I have resisted.

    One piece, just one taste of that sugary delicious poison, and you’re done for! NO ONE can take just one bite so 🚫 to just one bite!

    “ You can get it if you really want
    But you must try, try and try
    Try and try, you'll succeed at last” That song was in my head all day long yesterday probably today too!

    How did I miss your photo? I just don’t understand MFP sometimes… Was it a time warp?! Such a beautiful family and you are too!!

    @desolate_angel 50 50 50! Wowza. Congrats!

    @Skyleen75
    Glad you shared your nightmare… Courageous of you to face. You ‘re up for it- I forgot what that freezing plunge was called but you did it… You will do this too! You are prepared.

    Charissa, I love your BHAG!

    We’ve all heard this song by Jimmy Cliff…

    You can get it if you really want
    You can get it if you really want
    You can get it if you really want
    But you must try, try and try
    Try and try, you'll succeed at last

    Look here
    Persecution you must bear
    Win or lose you've got to get your share
    Got your mind set on a dream
    You can get it, though harder they seem now

    You can get it if you really want
    You can get it if you really want
    You can get it if you really want
    But you must try, try and try
    Try and try, you'll succeed at last
    I know it, listen

    Rome was not built in a day
    Opposition will come your way
    But the hotter the battle you see
    It's the sweeter the victory, now

    You can get it if you really want
    You can get it if you really want
    You can get it if you really want
    But you must try, try and try
    Try and try, you'll succeed at last

    You can get it if you really want
    You can get it if you really want
    You can get it if you really want
    But you must try, try and try
    Try and try, you'll succeed at last

    (You can get it if you really want) I know it
    (You can get it if you really want) don't I show it?
    (You can get it if you really want) so don't give up now
    (You can get it if you really want) but keep on trying

    🥰
    You are WORTH IT! (OK I know that’s @_JeffreyD_ ) but it applies to ALL of us!

    (NOTE TO SELF!)

    @Chapter_3 I had to look that one up on Spotify! Rome was not built in a day.

    GW - 155

    Backstory
    In 2022 I was around 157lbs with 24% bf. Was definitely in the “best shape” of my adult life then. Since then I started a new career working from home as a developer. Have moved away from my family for fiancés job. We’ve moved several times to various states in a short time span. So far we’ve moved 3 times, all about 9 months apart. Welcomed two puppies into the mix. Lots of changes. Lots of time spent at home. Lots of time spent away from family. Fell out of touch with friends. All of the adjustments and figuring out how to manage/handle more daily responsibilities and navigate through this phase of life has manifested into me gaining 20+lbs and losing a lot of willpower, motivation, drive, positivity, etc that I once thrived on. Found this challenge and it has been helping me get it back. Nothing is permanent! Looking forward to working through this.

    Overall Goals and Challenges
    Goals
    1. Focusing on behavior and mindset. Calories have been going way over for so long I need to reel the behavior back in a healthy way.
    2. Don’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
    Challenges
    1. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.
    2. Sleeping less (have two puppies, a 9mo and a 1yr old) makes it hard to wake up early enough to get a good workout in or at least to feel good awaking up. Feel defeated in the motivation and drive department compared to how I was previously.

    Daily, Small, Attainable Goals
    1. Finish 1st 27oz water before 2pm
    2. Finish 2nd 27oz water before bed
    3. Alternate standing and sitting at desk every other hour during working hours (or stand at least half of the day).
    4. Hit maintenance calories at a minimum.
    5. -200 cal deficit on gym days
    6. If I go over cals, try to cap it at +200
    7. Weekly deficit of 1300cals.

    Helpful Reminders
    …it IS possible to achieve my goals. Sometimes it CAN just be that simple…

    03/03 177.6 look at me talking the talk and walking the walk!!! There is something about a Spring awakening that has many of us fired up. I am just telling myself every cliche in the book. Pumping myself up.
    I love that we’re bringing out BHAG! @itladyee Girl, I am in it to go hard for 10lbs in March!!!
    I don’t usually go for big drops in short time frames but since I’m pretty much at a total restart it is actually attainable. The first few weeks of weight loss always has those big beautiful magical drops we love! Also there is nothing like seeing some results to motivate us! Let’s do this!!!

    Warning Big Rant Ahead

    Ugh different topic- I woke up yesterday from a rage dream where my estranged sister had appeared and I was (in my dream) punching a hole in the wall. Wowza right??? She’s a difficult person, ask anyone- family, friends. I won’t bore you with the details but our relationship hit a stumbling block she refused to move past about 15 years ago and I spent the next 12 years just being a puppy getting kicked trying to be her sister. 3 years ago I stopped trying or really caring, went no contact.
    For Christmas last year as a gift to my parents I extended an olive branch to my sister and emailed her to see if she would go to family counseling with me. Not necessary to become besties but to at least be in the same room together.
    I had kind of hoped I wouldn’t actually have to go through with it, my parents were aware and happy that I had tried.
    So yesterday morning I awaken from my rage filled sister dream to an email saying yes to “couples” therapy. Side note- who waits three whole months to answer THAT kind of email!!! Three months without even a “I’m thinking about it”. She’s the worst, I won’t even go into the weird power trip controlling wording of her email. As always I have to remain un-reactive and respond in a neutral tone.

    Ughhhhh now I actually have to do this. And what if I’m ripping off a band aid and have to deal with all of the other bad things we just stuff down and smooth over in life???? lol how many of those feelings have I eaten over the years.



    P.S. this is not a reoccurring dream. I have, like most people had weird stuff bubble up in dreams my whole life. I don’t over think it, I think it’s just part of being human.

    @Skyleen75 ".......how many of those feelings have I eaten over the years? " I am in with considering that question for me.

    Thanks for allowing me the rant yesterday. And thanks for the encouraging words. Even chapter_3 😊

    I had a molecule of self-control yesterday. Before I pound my chest like king kong I will remember what skyleen75 wrote… “I tell myself “weight loss isn’t linear” when I’m dealing with daily ups and downs…“

    I won the battle of March 1. Now, onward with the war. Don’t fear the upticks and lost battles. No single battle will lose the war.

    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.

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

    What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

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

    Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

    JamesClear “New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.”

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    I need to STAY ENGAGED because I’m the DRIVER not the passenger in this life.
    In Round 179 on 3/6/2022, I hit my “never going over” weight of 120. I honestly don’t know what was going on then but by the end of 2022 my husband had had both shoulders replaced, I’d had a big blow up with our older daughter, and he had been elected to our HOA board. All major stressors. and I started gaining. I need to get a firmer grip on my eating and hope and pray that he will “let go” of the board when his term is up in November.

    3/3 138.0 Terrible “sleep” last night. I think it was around 2 when I finally drifted off and woke up at 5 - wondering if the sourdough is okay. It was beautiful so it is now shaped and in the fridge for the “long ferment.”

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 289(my 219th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.
    So here we go again, I’m just keeping plugging away! New round, this time I need to stop playing around & take it more seriously, I am not in maintenance & I want to get back to where I should be. I will be taking something forward from @Chapter_3 (yet again) if I may "We should be strategically engaged with our lives each day, right?! That’s my word… ENGAGED." " I will try to keep that word ENGAGED in my mind over these new 10 days & also remember that I am the driver of my life & not the passenger. My goal for this round is to get back to 139s. I need to be diligent as only 3-5 days per round staying on the wagon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be & then relaxing for the last 2/3 is not acceptable! I want to stay strong, walk the walk as well as talk the talk! & make the round a successful one. So, goals for this round;
    • First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!
    • 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 am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life. "Health is wealth",

    2/28 143 (trend 142.8) 9.37 miles walked 9.37 miles walked. Feeling very low with myself at the mo., the gain is not only apparent in the fit of clothes but also starting to show in the mirror. I’ve started to withdraw into myself again, really need to pull myself together & sort myself out.

    3/1 DNW - taking yesterday's number as end of round weight as came away in the caravan so no scales. Feel better about myself this morning after the 'downer'; was totally engaged with every mouthful yesterday, need to continue to drive for a healthy life. 0.4 pound gained this round. I'll catch up with the posts later.

    @itladyee solid goals you have set. Everyone will be cheering you on.

    @deepwoodslady So sorry about your friend Diane! And also sorry about your furnace issues. We have had two winter incidents in the past two years. One the night we were to leave town for 3 months (got them to come at 11:30 PM to fix) and then this year, then night we arrive back in MA for a week. The first was just a stupid fuse. The second, we ended up buying a new furnace. :(

    @SModa61 I hope I won't need a new one and what we are doing will fix it. Right now it is working well but I am still going to have them change out a particular part in it. A nearby relative just had a new furnace put in and their house is much, much smaller. It was $8000.00 . Yikes!!!! I would rather spend that on the continuing renovations and updates sorely needed. I've already spent so much in the past 9 months including all new siding, all new roof and all new windows. Plus the primary bedroom/bath/closet remodel we are working on. I don't need anything major lol ! I sure am glad you found someone to help you at the last minute with your furnace! That was a close call! Thanks for the heartfelt condolences!
