SW Rnd 295: 165.2
This is the year that I finally get it done 🚢 I steer my own ship
Destination: Healthy BMI at 50
🦥Consistency, in the face of frustration, Wins.
Still doing all the right things. I think shark week is coming - perimenopause makes it complicated (I’m 50). My body will respond eventually…consistency wins.

SW Rnd 295 134.0
5/1 134.5 Going to Golden Corral today. UGH
5/2 135.5 That’s probably the weight of the piece of fried chicken I ate. It was a large breast. I am disgusted with myself AND with DH. My trigger finger is acting up again and I have a headache - migraine or sinus???
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.
5/5 135.0 Great Greek for lunch yesterday. Small Greek salad with chicken and steak souvlaki- approximately 6 ounces of meat divided between early lunch and supper.
5/6 134.0 Egg, broccoli and cheese casserole for brunch. Finished the chicken and steak from Greek for supper.
5/7 134.0 Green bean and beef casserole, 1.5 oz extra sharp cheddar. Started thinking about former neighbor was supposed to be here this week. She passed in late February. I had a glass of Seagrams VO and water - her favorite. Scale showed 132.5 then stubbornly jumped to 134.0 and wouldn’t budge!

Greatful to everyone for being here as I flake in and out. I'm trying to re-establish the good habits that I've let go.
Goals this time around:
Post daily especially when it's not convenient
Exercise for a minimum 500 calorie burn daily
Hold calories down and build meals around quality protein and fats
This was once normal but now it's a goal. Consistency for the next three rounds should get me back to normal.
Best Wishes for SUCCESS Everyone. Yes We Can!
SW Rnd 295 - 153.0 lbs
5/1 - 152.8 lbs
Good start today. Posting now is not convenient but I'm doing it any way. Hope to hit the gym and handle the day's meals before sunrise. I need a win today. A bit of order to the chaos and meeting today's goals would be a big win.
5/2 - 152.8 lbs
Yesterday's good start didn't last and today began poorly. 🤞 I can clean this up and end well.
Thanks so much for the support and mentions since I've returned. You nudge me in the right direction when I'd rather miss behave.
5/3 - 155.0 lbs
Shame on me! Nothing but misbehaving and the scale proves it. I could see it in my ankles first.
Not hitting my targets so far. No mercy and no excuses. Must do right!
5/4 - 152.8 lbs
Still bloated due to bad eating. Way off every mark would be an accurate description yet I have improved. Only miniscule, but still better.
These goals I've set are ridiculously easy. My plan is to work my way back to normal. Why do I feel like I've outlined an arduous feat never before considered by mankind? This is crossing the border into stupidity.
Warning to self: Life may hand me chaos but I don't need to let this chaos take over unrelated areas of my life.
5/5 - 151.6 lbs
I've got the steroid crazies. Just call me Evil-leen 👹. Still working on getting my act together. My best health will make managing any situation easier.
5/6 - 153.8 lbs
Extra bloated after eating a late heavy dinner just before bed time yesterday. I'm behind on recording foods but calories should be okay. Exercise goals were a miss.
Not good yet shamefully still better. Zero sweet or salty snacks and no nibbling. This is not a win but I can fairly give myself a thumbs up for a tiny accomplishment.
5/7 - 154.6 lbs
Better yesterday and I'll top that today. Gain is a normal fluctuation from weighing after a meal and lots of liquids. Water retention is nearly gone since I've resisted extra salty foods and sugar.
Exercise is still way off. Each day has been like a run away train. Instead of the gym, I need to start each day with a home routine. Exercise can be done anywhere.
My mat work is always at home. Cardio wherever and however I'm feeling it. What I miss is the gym equipment that helps me build muscle more efficiently.
I'll try getting the basics done at home throughout the day. When I get a break I can head to the gym for the equipment. Fortunately everything is close enough for this to work.

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.
🎪🎪🎪 🎪 05/07-WNP 💠 - (Trend Weight: WNP) Nope. Will not post. I will share that I’ve packed on some pounds. Let me just say I don’t get it. I’ve done Everything Exactly right the past couple of days and my weight is ballooning. Very discouraged right now. But I won’t let it derail my day or my streak of good behaviors and habits.

@SModa61 gosh I typed a know-it-all post yesterday!!! I just love working out so much, I get a little nerdy about it and it comes across a bit smug when really I’m just an over excited to share.
lol it’s not always an endearing quality!
You go girl!!! Congratulations on being so committed to strength training, you’ve been doing great. And yes, it’s almost always about engaging and bracing your core.

DH brought home two half gallons last week. In the ten years we’ve owned this freezer we’ve never had that much ice cream in it. We’ve been like children trying to hide the evidence of his crime by eating all of it.This morning I am feeling so proud of all of us for continuing to try. Just by showing up here we are doing something for our health. It’s especially hard when the scale is going the wrong way or it feels like there is no progress.
I know that the few minutes I spend checking in here each morning helps me immensely. Even if those few minutes are the only time in that day I’m fully committed to this journey. It’s something and that is so much better than nothing.

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 Rueban 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.
5/8 131.0 🏋️♂️ but for only 10 minutes… I have to lower my weights and probably start over. Wanted to make I didn’t overdo it. 🚶♀️6k - didn’t make my goal, but not too awful considering. 🥩 good (but missed IF & net Carbs over 15) Woke up on edge this morning because the inspection is today. I know it’s out of my hands but still has me discombobulated & edgy. After coffee, 🙆♀️, pray breathe - will 🚶♀️10k today between showers. 🏋️♂️with lighter weights & 💦. More baby steps.

@Skyleen75 we all have our special areas of “nerdism”. It’s taking me years to embrace mine. As an FYI, you didn’t come across as smug- you came across as knowledgeable and caring and this is why we’re here! And cheers to “something”! Thank you for the reminder that just being here is a win! I agree that this morning time serves as a huge springboard to my day… Especially reading group comments and reflection. Thank you for your insights. Reminds me of a “Dear Abby” clip (oh yeah A NEWSPAPER CLIPPING) my mom gave to me a long time ago… “Just for today”

It will be a lot of steps, in a bit of rain. Woof woof! I wish I had the same tenacity for Calories-In as I do for Calories-Out. During spin class I was unstoppable. I like to picture myself breaking away from the peloton, leaving them in the dust. I left it ALL on the bike. How can I bring the same energy to my eating discipline?
5/2: 226.8 (1798 CI)
Eating was good yesterday. Exercise was over the top good, for my legs anyway.Here is something I am grateful for. I just thought of this. THANK YOU ALL FOR KEEPING POLITICS OUT OF THIS GROUP!!!!! I have never noticed any. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! It is so important to focus on the main purpose of this group and not get tangled up in divisive side issues. That is all.
5/3: 227.4 (1844 CI)
Dreadful dinner out last night.5/4: 228.4 (2087 CI)
At least I got a bit of exercise by mowing the grass and walking. Just too chilly and windy for me to enjoy a bike ride. Not all CI are equal. I gave platform to the wrong ones yesterday.5/5: 225.8 (2140 CI)
I don’t understand this at all…. CI were high but tightly bunched. We had beef and noodles for lunch, then went to a graduation party at 2:30, where we had “second lunch” (kind of like second breakfast Frodo) which included ice cream. At least it was only popcorn for supper.Speaking of LOTR, there are times when I am like Gollum and food is “my precious.” It’s not pretty.
5/6: 224.4 (1368 CI)
The mystery continues. Lower CI yes, but really? Chickens will eventually come home to roost I know.
Maybe use this as inspiration to keep going down.5/7: 225.4 (2095 CI)
Just think of the progress I could make if I were fully committed. Currently over my starting weight but under my previous ten-day average by over a pound. At the end of last round I was trending to 228. Currently I am trending to 225.5/8: 226.0 (2002 CI)
MFP just told me I have achieved the “10,000 likes” badge. I want to thank my agent, my trainer, my writers, my sponsors, the make-up crew and my DW. (I see some of you are already members)5/9

F, 59, SW-187, Sept.’14
UGW- 135
RGW:135Thank 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.
5/8-136- Off to play pickle ball then exercise the horse and give him a bath. Quilt guild meeting tonight and I will not eat any of the snacks.

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).

-5/5181.4
- WNW (will not weigh 🤣🤣)5/65/7- 183.85/8 - 182.8 it feels like I’m not trying hard enough. I Don’t think I’ll get under 181 this round. Jumping rope has been painful on my back. I think it’s because of lifting my 17 lb baby all day everyday. Guess I gotta find a different form or exercise for now.

SW Rnd 295 134.0
5/1 134.5 Going to Golden Corral today. UGH
5/2 135.5 That’s probably the weight of the piece of fried chicken I ate. It was a large breast. I am disgusted with myself AND with DH. My trigger finger is acting up again and I have a headache - migraine or sinus???
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.
5/5 135.0 Great Greek for lunch yesterday. Small Greek salad with chicken and steak souvlaki- approximately 6 ounces of meat divided between early lunch and supper.
5/6 134.0 Egg, broccoli and cheese casserole for brunch. Finished the chicken and steak from Greek for supper.
5/7 134.0 Green bean and beef casserole, 1.5 oz extra sharp cheddar. Started thinking about former neighbor was supposed to be here this week. She passed in late February. I had a glass of Seagrams VO and water - her favorite. Scale showed 132.5 then stubbornly jumped to 134.0 and wouldn’t budge!
5/8 133.5 A small drop. Lunner today will be shrimp and spaghetti squash Alfredo.

I’ve done Everything Exactly right the past couple of days and my weight is ballooning. Very discouraged right now. But I won’t let it derail my day or my streak of good behaviors and habits.
🎪🎪🎪 🎪 05/08- DNW 💠 -(Trend Weight: DNW) My son (the autistic one) took me out for an early birthday dinner last night. I had penne pasta in alfredo sauce with steak tips on top and gorgonzola cheese with a balsamic glaze dribbled on top and garnished with cherry tomatoes. It came with garlic bread. It was delicious but so very salty due to the gorgonzola cheese. I thought it was very sweet of him. Not weighing today. My belly is hanging over my jeans. I’ll have DGS and daughter until Friday night (at least). Meeting the bus today and I can’t wait to see him!

I've copied over my meals from Tuesday and have planned everything within goals so as long as I stick to the log. Feeling fairly good about this.4
