    Thank you @quiltingjaine 🌸

    5/2-137-Today marks 30 pounds I’ve lost since November 1st. Everyone is different, but what works for me is this: I listened to The Plant Paradox and The Longevity Pradox each by Dr. Gundry. I did not buy any of his products, but paid attention to his way of eating (not religiously, but 90% of the time). I also started making kefir and yogurt (which are fermented food and easy to do) out of goats milk. I did not have time to exercise due to the holidays, but still lost the weight. All that this way of eating has done for me, is take the bad carbs out and I feel so good. His way of eating, is avoiding lectins and treating fruit like candy and only eating it on the weekends. I was making fruit smoothies every morning and gaining weight and something had to stop, so I tried this and feel good. Yes, I still go out to eat Mexican food, but I only eat 1/4 of the basket of chips and do not have rice and beans with my taco and tostada. I am not trying to get anyone to follow this because I now we are all different. It’s just what works for me. 
    Off to play pickle ball then exercise the horse.

    5/3-136-Saturday

    5/4-RTW (Refuse To Weigh)

    5/5-140-And that is the result of eating what ever I wanted to over the weekend. It will probably take half of the week to get back to my Saturday AM. weight.

    5/6-183-Off to sew with The Dutch Mafia (a very nice group of Dutch ladies) that gather once a month…they have been sweet to include me in their group and I figured I should attend since I’m due to host them next month. We bring our own lunch, so I’ll have a salad with meat.

    @deepwoodslady I don’t know if he found it. If he did, he forgot to tell me and I haven’t asked because I don’t want to trigger another search! 🤦‍♀️

    5/3   135.0  Jimmy John’s #8 Unwich for lunch/OMAD yesterday 

    5/4   134.0 Very stressful day yesterday. DH has put some $$ in a “safe place” and it is SO SAFE that he spent all day yesterday looking for it! It is still MIA.

    05/05-DNW 💠 - (Trend Weight: DNW) Decided to go out of town with my son to go do a little grocery shopping at Meijer and Aldi’s. I was disappointed that Aldi’s did not have the Keto bread I usually buy. They opened up a Chinese Buffet in that town so I ate lunch there. Obviously there is lots of sodium swelling today. This is the only Chinese food within 100 miles of my home so it was quite the treat. I did make sure to bring home lots of groceries that support my plan. I also was able to stop by and see my two youngest grandchildren who were nearby. What a treat!

    🎪🎪🎪 🎪 05/06-DNW 💠 - (Trend Weight: DNW) Contractor showed up bright and early waking me out of bed. I didn’t know he was coming since he’s missed the past week. I didn’t get to weigh but I still am feeling pretty bloated from the Chinese food the other day. I also brought home 2 quarts of Egg Drop Soup from the restaurant that day which I’ve been using for lunch (4 servings of 1.5 cups each). That is probably still containing too much sodium although the calories and carbs are very low. That’s why I usually bring some home. I may weigh tomorrow. It depends on how tight my rings are.

    5/6: still hanging in around the same numbers, I need to cut calories very low to get jump-started. It's always tough to get it going, but I'm determined. Not happy with how some of last year's clothes fit, and that's not happening. 5 lbs doesn't sound like a lot, but it's been my nemesis. And I need to figure out why I'm stuck…

    @Chapter_3 sending snuggles to Tater!!! I wouldn’t kick him out of bed 🤣🦮🐾 Congragulations on your offer!

    @SModa61 The internet has so many workout plans. I’ve done workouts based on push/pull. I’ve also done at least a thousand Arnie’s, so many we are on a nickname level.
    An Arnie is considered a push movement as a variation on the overhead press. I’m not sure I would trust a workout that “improves” or tweaks a movement named after the man/god himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger by turning it into a pull movement.

    This movement also works the head of the shoulders (plus the whole shoulder and some tricep) which is very delicate and I usually go a bit lighter then a standard overhead press because of the rotation in the shoulder.
    Phew, I didn’t even know I cared so much about the Arnold Press!!!! I do love them.

    5/07 177.4 Slowly coming down from my ridiculous weekend. If the weather holds I should see a substantial drop through the end of this round. I’d love to finish at 175.

    The good thing about the dreary weather is going to the gym during the day. I miss that during gardening season. Hoping I get a full day of work today after I go workout with my ride or dies.

    5/1 132.4 Major goal this round is to start 🏋️‍♂️⏱️by mid-round. I’ve had a a few good days strung together, so let’s keep up this momentum… And, just a few more days of rest and I will conquer! Definitely want to fully eliminate 🎢 behaviors. Stay even. Continue 🙆‍♀️🚶‍♀️💓💦🏆(WOE: Whole Food, single ingredient nutrition). Choose my identity (mindset) and live it.   #HSF  #bestshapeofmylife #ENGAGED #agingyounger  

    5/2 132.8 Great until dinner out with friends last night. Mexican with all the trimmings. NSV: I didn’t over-eat. Just ate a small portion of 💩(chips & salsa & cheese dip). After the evening, I noticed that I never truly had the correct mindset going into dinner - deep down I knew I was going to explore the chips and salsa. I didn’t strap on my #HSF identity going into dinner. That’s an “after the fact NSV”- never would’ve recognized previously.  Nuanced thought process. Start again today !!  

    5/3 132.8  more routine, though tempted to eat larger portions and refrained. That’s a great NSV! Solid hydration and nutrition. Protein 🥩 100g. Kept 💦 with me all day. Good night sleep! Oh, a fox crossed right in front of me on my walk… So fast! Onward!

    5/4 131.6 solid day yesterday slowly getting back into a good routine. IF, whole food, single ingredient, 🥩 💦 for the win. 

    Walking this morning.  This afternoon is a baby shower for our granddaughter, Eleanor, due June 26. I am going to strap on my #HSF identity! Food is fuel! 💪🏻

    PS- I can tell that I’ve lost muscle / strength from not 🚫 since February… I’m looking forward to 🏋️‍♂️ & body weight & core exercises tomorrow! (my R tricep is still giving me a few issues - will start on lower body). Have a great Sunday everyone . Get it done!! #HSF

    5/5 132.0 woke up at 2:30AM got up at 4:30AM. Decided to ⚖️because I was curious… it’s simply too darn early! Lovely afternoon at the baby shower! I ate more carbs than expected, but did not overindulge. Today: same plan - let’s put it in action!

    (oh, I heard from the neighbor yesterday and she’s delivering a formal purchase offer this morning!) 🙏 I really hope the offer is close to asking… We sincerely want them to get this property. She is in her mid 70s and her husband is 80. He has early onset dementia so their future is uncertain.  They own the large house / property across the street - pool, huge yard, etc. They want to move into our small cottage and her son with three children would buy her house. She shared w/ me that she would play at our cottage with her friend when she was eight years old! It would be perfect for them! 🙏

    5/6 DNW 🚶‍♀️7.5k. Obsessed with purchase offer. 🎉🎉🎉Clean full price offer - no contingencies- (they only want an inspection and appraisal - knowing the property is sold “As is” ) This was definitely meant to be! I ate a full Reuben for lunch to celebrate… Why is food continuously THE celebration? It was so much for me at lunch that I didn’t eat the rest of the day except for a 4oz ground meat patty around 6 PM. Not enough water and horrible sleep. Back on track today!

    5/7 132.2 Good day. Back on track. However, I was planning on 🏋️‍♂️⏱️ but made dumb excuses. When I picked up DGS, we were going to work out together, but this low pressure system rolled in, I made the excuse to not work out and to bring him straight home to avoid torrential rain… shoulda, coulda… now we’re in for three full days of record rainfall & flash flooding. Ugh. Probably won’t get in 🚶‍♀️, but will🏋️‍♂️. Promise. Will reflect. Be present. Choose positive self-talk.  #HSF.

    @Skyleen75 I watched a video on how to do it. Having done a little googling, I am speculating that I might have arched my back. I was doing from a seated position, with no backrest, and maybe my core was not properly engaged. Two days out, my back is recovering, which is what matters the most. Often when I bung up my back, that takes weeks to settle. I am struggling to find my exercise rhythm here, but it will come, as long as I don't quit.

    Thanks for your insights!!

    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 295
    May 1 - 10, 2025

    SW: 129.2

    5/1 - 129.0 Down a touch more. I made it to Planet Fitness yesterday. Tracking was excellent. Today will be a local morning walk. Unpacking still underway. I told hubby to give me through Sunday to get things in order. Some more dresses arrived at my front door yesterday. I am starting to learn what looks better on me and what I been to avoid. Sizing is confusing as it changes with designer (is that really a surprise). Would be great if whatever I find only needs hem work.

    5/2 – 130.0 Did a great walk yesterday. Was spot on for calories all day, until later evening. I knowingly ate extra food. I will say that it was nice not waking up hungry this morning, as has often been the case this last month. Scale making me pay for it, but today is going to be a good day.

    5/3 – 130.8 This is what happens with a second day of that same bad behavior. And, yesterday had no exercise. Still getting the house in order and unpacking boxes from the truck.

    5/4 – 129.6 No exercise, but spot on for calories. Need to make sure this slippage in exercise does not continue. It is ok if there are a few days off as I settle back in, but I have the habit of dropping my exercise when I return home in May.

    5/5 – 129.6 No exercise again. It was a complicated day, and limited access to food options. Made it challenging as I spent a lot of time overly hunger (like hours worth) and then once a meal was available, I ate and tracked, but had such a difficult time getting the hunger to go away. It was so very hard not to binge in order to quiet it. I made it through, and that is good enough. No damage. Ultimately, I will be happy if I close this round still in the 129s.

    5/6 – 129.8 Complicated hunger day again. I would love to sort this out. Is my metabolism different? Why all the hunger? Anyhow, I continued to regroup during the day and final calorie count was acceptable. I did go to the gym. Tried just doing a “pull” day as defined by internet. It included something called an Arnold press (variant on an overhead press). Anyhow, my back has been in pain ever since doing that move. Should I try it again, I think I will lower the weight as my form is likely off and causing the issue.

    5/7 – 130.0 No reason that I am aware of. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

    ~ I had to decide whether to push thru my foot pain or stay off it again. The pain isn’t really “bad” per se, kind of like a dull Charlie horse pain that I just can’t get rid of. And it’s only there when I walk in my sneakers. I decided to walk thru it yesterday, as staying off it hasn’t been working.     ~ Have to see how it is today

    Thank you @quiltingjaine 🌸

    5/2-137-Today marks 30 pounds I’ve lost since November 1st. Everyone is different, but what works for me is this: I listened to The Plant Paradox and The Longevity Pradox each by Dr. Gundry. I did not buy any of his products, but paid attention to his way of eating (not religiously, but 90% of the time). I also started making kefir and yogurt (which are fermented food and easy to do) out of goats milk. I did not have time to exercise due to the holidays, but still lost the weight. All that this way of eating has done for me, is take the bad carbs out and I feel so good. His way of eating, is avoiding lectins and treating fruit like candy and only eating it on the weekends. I was making fruit smoothies every morning and gaining weight and something had to stop, so I tried this and feel good. Yes, I still go out to eat Mexican food, but I only eat 1/4 of the basket of chips and do not have rice and beans with my taco and tostada. I am not trying to get anyone to follow this because I now we are all different. It’s just what works for me. 
    Off to play pickle ball then exercise the horse.

    5/3-136-Saturday 

    5/4-RTW (Refuse To Weigh)

    5/5-140-And that is the result of eating what ever I wanted to over the weekend. It will probably take half of the week to get back to my Saturday AM. weight.

    5/6-138-Off to sew with The Dutch Mafia (a very nice group of Dutch ladies) that gather once a month…they have been sweet to include me in their group and I figured I should attend since I’m due to host them next month. We bring our own lunch, so I’ll have a salad with meat.

    5/7-136-Back to my Saturday morning weight and it’s Wednesday. Same thing is going to happen this weekend with my boys getting here Friday night and me cooking for them. I’ll basically eat what they eat, but within reason and control.

    Hey everyone! I'm a mom of two. I Gave birth 5 months ago and have been feeling not so great about my physical appearance/health. I feel sluggish, my clothes feel are ill fitting. I'm honestly NOT ready ro make a full turn around but I feel like this is an excellent stepping stone to get me more motivated and into a routine. I've already made small changes like NOT adding sugar to my morning coffee and I'm gonna try to do 30mins of jump roping everyday. Hoping for the best!

    F37, 5'3, SW- 182lbs UGW- 140 lbs

    RG- 181 lbs (jumping rope 30min daily, decreasing sugary snacks and sugar intake in general, food proportions). 

    5/1 - 182

    5/2 - 182.4 

    5/3 - 181.4

    5/4- 183

    5/5 - 181.4

    5/6 - WNW (will not weigh 🤣🤣)

    5/7 - 183.8 Forgot to weigh myself before breakfast. Yesterday felt really good. I felt like I ate mindfully and I also remembered to drink more water. This morning is not so good LOL. My husband brought me breakfast and it was more than I would usually order for myself….and I still ate it 🥲 The baby is ACTIVE this morning so just when I was about to start to workout he woke up from his morning nap. Usually he gives me enough time to get a workout in and a shower. I'm sure the rest of the day will be better (manifesting 😂).
