Great day yesterday except tweaked my lower back lifting a 35 lb kettle ball with bad form- (wasn’t paying attention / not balanced). Thankfully able to complete all movement yesterday. Hubby got home last night & we’re packing for the beach today (of course after the Wimbledon ladies final) … Leaving tomorrow morning before dawn. Simple / easy recipes w/ fresh healthy, whole foods & electrolytes - everything planned out. This will be a health-fest celebration! (Of course, my land mine is portion control…) But I will wear my  #HSF identity. Staying at a resort with pools, basketball courts, beach volleyball tennis & pickle ball cts… a short hop to the beach - a paradise for Tucker / activity ! Will even rent the beach chairs for R&R & gulf breezes! 🏖️ 🎾🏀⚽️🏐🧘‍♂️🚶‍♀️🏊‍♀️🌊⏱️ 

7/13-7/16 🏖️

7/17 back home and paying attention to hydration and protein. So much catching up to do. Will ⚖️tomorrow. 🚫TMI the whole trip! Yikes!

7/18. 1.27 P:E Kinda surprised I haven’t  dropped even an ounce this round… That’s ok - know I’m doing well. My body is stubborn. Family arriving today. Focused on health. 🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️ & jumps this morning for wknd. Will get back to routine to experience an amazing R303!! I’ve noticed I do not have a “weight-loss” mindset - but an “eat right & smart” mindset…. finish 💪🏻 this round! R303 will begin journey to remove 3-5lbs for that BHAG! 6-8 wks?! NSV: proper planning for vacay & follow-through was an enjoyable experience! I always struggle with portion control, but was mindful & ate healthy… 

7/19 ending “up” 🧐😳

We late last night and no TMIx3 ready to start R303 tomorrow! (134lbs nudging my highest weight in 20 months)!!!!! Certainly nowhere near the results I planned for for this round, but we start fresh tomorrow.

@iLive2Walk bootcamp is one of my harder workouts but it’s set up to be adjusted for any fitness level. We encourage each other to do our best- some days are about going as hard as you can and other days you’re just surviving.
We usually do stations. Anything from battle ropes and TRX straps to running sprints.
Today is body combat which is really hard cardio straight for an hour. It’s my favorite and least favorite hour of the week!

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my coffee each morning.

7/19 178.2 Not really my best round but I did pull it together in the end.

Today is village yard sale day so I will get plenty of steps in! It’s practically a holiday with some roads closed, police directing traffic and lots of people grilling on their front lawns. No other village does it exactly like us- they were setting up port-o-potties and a stage for a band at the village center.

This evening I have a belly dancing meet up that I am very much looking forward to!

7/17: 143.5
7/18: 143.3
7/19: 145.3. We ordered in last night from a BBQ restaurant. I tried to eat reasonably well, but ya know. It was still too many calories, and probably sodium and everything else. Not happy about ending the round on a high, but it's deserved. At least I saw some lower numbers throughout this round.

Measurable Daily Goals

🚫 - No Wine
⬇️- Downward trend
🚶🏽🍎✅💧🚫⬇️

SW RND 3️⃣0️⃣2️⃣ ~ 230.6 Goal this round 227.6 or less than started, whichever comes first!
7/10 231
7/11 230 (afternoon weigh)
7/12 230.6 Late to the party. I need to rev it up to get this number moving…Based on the last few days…I’m actually happy to see it.
7/13 230 ~ got to get back to posting in the morning….Tomorrow is Monday, back to an almost normal schedule. Gotta get these numbers moving down!!!
7/14 231.2 ~ Starting the day off right, at least with a morning check-in. It's going to be a great, productive day!
7/15 230.6~ late getting in here today. My patio/landscaping is done, so my morning routine is now watering bushes and trees! And today is a workday, so there are more restrictions on time. Surprised, yet not at that number. Not…because it's where I've been hovering forever, and yes, because I got a last-minute request yesterday to join a group of old co-workers for dinner. I did and had a great time. What I didn't immediately remember is that I had hired most of them, and at some point, they all reported to me. Funny. It was a fun get-together. So a couple of drinks and a nice burger…I expected a bump on the scale..but I did hold out most of my calories for dinner. Maybe it's the dreaded delay!
7/16 232 Ah ha….there it is….yesterday wasn't a great day either. Over in calories and late dinner due to it being a work day. Today is also a work day but hoping I can get dinner on the table earlier….
7/17 DNW ~ I jumped up, put on clothing, started laundry, and didn't feel like disrobing again. I suspect a bit down, I'll face the scale tomorrow. Have a doctor's appointment for my sister this afternoon, so I'm off schedule. I'm hoping to not schedule anything for a couple of weeks as they said it takes two weeks to get back the genetic results. That will give me time to put my schedule back together again….Although, I did just plan a lot entertaining stuff for next week (two back yard BBQ's, a baseball game and a pizza outing…. oops!
7/18 231 ~ hoping to break even this round….next around…adding back the structure… all over the place this round!!
7/19 231 ~ darn, no break even but just slightly up. Next Round….bring it!!!

 Somewhere, someone else is happy with less than you have.

💜MY MISSION STATEMENT💜
Show up for myself daily—with strength, grace, and purpose.
Choose progress over perfection and stay the course.
Honor my body through movement, nourishment, and belief.
Each step moves me closer to my healthiest, happiest self.
I am strong. I am steady. I am unstoppable.

@SModa61 Thanks for the buffet tip. One plate is exactly what I did. Just tablespoons of a few things I wanted most. I did hit the ice cream though (complete with toppings) but their bowls are pretty small and I avoided all the pies and cakes!

@iLive2Walk Such beautiful pics as always. Thanks for sharing your hikes and walks with us!

07/17-DNW 💠 - (Trend Weight: DNW)

07/18-190.6 ✅ (Trend Weight: 191.1) Not too shabby after the late lunch yesterday at the all-you-can-eat buffet Golden Corral. My quantity/serving sizes were good. My choices were not so good. I don’t eat salad so everything else on the buffet pretty much doesn’t fit my plan so I enjoyed but watched how much went on the plate. Superman was meh…okay. I’m a HUGE fan so I was a little disappointed. The chosen actors were spot on – great! The story line left much to be desired IMHO. And just not enough history/lead when introducing new generations to the Superhero. I think my 3 DGS’s were a little lost but all enjoyed the constant action of the film. Not enough Clark Kent IMHO. Anyway, I’m going to get a copy of the 1978 Superman with Christopher Reeve as it was the best and began my own love and understanding of Superman! Looks like a movie night in the near future for DGS’ and myself!

💥💥💥 07/19-187.8 ✅ (Trend Weight: 190.7) A big whoosh for me and I am magically touching that 7 on the 187 that I always long for, although it’s right at the tip of it. I know the overnight whoosh was losing a load of water, not necessarily fat. I was forced to take a water pill after the superman trip. So much sitting caused the swelling in legs and abdomen to be so bad I could barely bend my ankles to walk. But I could have ended in the 190’s like the last few water pill weights so somewhere along the way I have lost some actual weight and I’m glad to finally see it. I am supposed to take pill every day but I only take it about 3 times per month as it disables you making you stay home and near the bathroom. My lifestyle can be too busy for all that. I know, I know I should be following Dr’s orders, but I still have a bit of life left in me to live so that’s what I choose. Down 2.6 lbs and able to feel the bottom of my rib cage again. I’m always shocked at how far down they go on the torso! And my feet are not oozing out of my sandals like biscuit dough trying to get out of a broken biscuit can popped too early. Pure relief! See you next round.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Just Give Me 10 days 302

I am brand new to MFP, just joined on 7/10. I am 57 and just trying to get back into shape. I hope it's okay that I join in.

SW Rnd 302

7/10 190.0
7/10 signed up for My Fitness Pal Thursday evening.

7/11 ---- 189.4
7/11 went pretty well. Hit my protein target and stayed in my calorie limit. Food isn't so much the issue for me. It's the sedentary life that has me stuck. You can't out exercise a bad diet, but you can out exercise a sedentary lifestyle. That being said, I did not exercise today.

7/12 --- 188.8
7/12 Food was on point. I did a short workout. enjoying the newbie loss rate while I have it.

7/13 ---- 188.2
7/13 - Food was fine. Exceeded protein goal and stayed in my calories. The discovery of clear protein has been a game changer. It was tough to find a non-dairy one, but worth it. Weather was terrible and I had to drive in it. More storms and that had me in so much head pain at my craniotomy site. Seeing my neuro-oncologist next week, so that is on the list of things to address.

7/14 ----187.5
7/14 - Ate Sooooo much watermelon (over a kilo!!) but ended up not eating much else during the day because of headaches. Still hit my protein goal, couldn't sleep becasue I was hungry and made a sandwich so ended up 200 cals over but had under eaten the other days so my calorie average is still okay, just ended up eating later than usual. I try to stop completely at 8pm. No exercise.

7/15 --- 187.87/15 - not suprised by the bump due to the amount of watermelon I ate. Could have been worse. Headaches terrible again. Food was good. I hit my protien goal and kept to my calories.

7/16 ----187.5 Worked out this morning first thing. Had a preliminary meeting with a potenital health coach. Seems promising. Protien met, calories good.

7/17 --187.2 hit my potein, stayed in my calories, really stressed out about stuff

7/18 - 187.3 - whatever. I'm just going to keep on keeping on and try not to worry about it. I don't understand the android app now. It keeps changing my numbers on me. Did a walk. Protein and calories were good.

7/19 -- 186.7 - Did a virtual kickboxing class this morning. It was a challenge but I kept moving the entire class. Still trying to figure out what I am capable of after being on activity restriction for so long.

Started weight loss journey at 167 on April 1, 2022. 39/f - 4’11”

Slowly inching towards my ultimate goal but have been lax on tracking  food and intensity of my workouts the last few months. Currently up a couple pounds..

7/12 - 7/12 125.7 - tracked all food, probably dropped a bit of water weight. Going to change goal for round to 124.5

7/13 - 123.7 another solid nutritional day. Probably still a bit of water weight. Going to change goal again to 123.

7/14 - DNW

7/15- 125.9 I was expecting this. Went to see Shania Twain on Sunday for a girls night :) indulged a little, no regrets! Couple days and I’ll be back on track

7/16 -123.9 bye bye water weight

7/17 - 123.9 I am good with this 

7/18 - 123.9 steady lol

7/19 - 123.2 made good nutritional choice and ran 7k last night

7/20 - 124.6 Not where I wanted to end these 10 days but I’m down 2.4 lbs and that’s a win!
