    🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 303 (my 233rd).

    Goals for every 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! I aim to lose a pound this round. 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 135. 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 67 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".

    7/19 141.6 – 8.86 miles walked (again!) Failed to achieve goal of 141, but nevertheless, a loss of 2.6 pounds from the inflated number at the end of the last round. After I posted yesterday, I remembered that we had a dinner date with BIL & his partner at a local Indian restaurant, it was too late to edit my post. I was pleased that I ate very lightly all day & then chose very sensibly, walked to & from the restaurant and left half my boiled rice. I came away feeling satisfied, but not stuffed or uncomfortable, an NSV for me. I also feel that helped me to maintain yesterday’s number.

    EW Rnd 302 141.6

    SW Rnd 303 141.6

    7/20 141.6 (trend 141.9) 8.31 miles walked. Goal for this round is 140.

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

    Highest weight 242 lbs Lowest weight 142 lbs (2019) Re-start JGMTD Feb 2024 @ 204 lbs  

    Round 302 End Weight 178.2

    7/20 DNW
    7/21 183.2
    7/22- DNW
    7/23- DNW
    7/24- 182.0

    7/25- 179.8 Now I need to stop this wild ballooning up into the next decade. Being back to my own schedule certainly helps. DH is being sent to NJ M-F for the next two weeks. I’m 90% sure this will be a good thing for my eating with the other 10% being made up solely of pints of ice cream for dinner.

    Now I have to keep this weekend down to a dull roar, I’ve already heard “let’s go out for a nice dinner since I won’t be home all week”.

    Felt good to do a heavy lower body day with my hardcore girls yesterday. It’s Friday again and that means 5:30 bootcamp followed by an hour with my ride or dies at the garage doing upper body.
    My plan is to crush this day!

    *********************

    7/20 133.6 I remember writing several months ago that 132 is a danger zone. I allowed myself to surpass only because of the “scale” fiasco two rounds ago and now I am accepting that this is the weight I must accept as REAL and move on from here. Don’t know how long it will take to get to 128.x but that’s what I want.  But most of all, I want my BF% to decline.  Tomorrow, I will take measurements after researching what I can do from home (I don’t trust the RENFRO measurement to be accurate) and then, when I get to 131.x I’ll do another InBody (DXA) scan.  Thus, my journey to reduce fat, that has been seriously neglected for the past year, will commence again. I will continue to focus on functional ST and traditional ST, mobility and flexibility in my morning time before I “start” my day — the 300 jumps are a good challenge for me - and will build in “skipping” in my structured walk as well as box jumps.  It’s so easy to forget my WHY each day - my attention span and commitment to my health goals (#agingyounger) for my grandchildren seems to be forgotten often… this must be in the forefront of my mind each day to remain committed.  It’s back to placing reminders all around my house because my habits are simply not engrained YET.

    Good luck to all this round!

    7/21 ⚖️ 132.4

    Yesterday was lovely. Completed a 3.5mi hilly trail @Bogue Chitto State Park - a little over an hour and a change of pace / scenery. There were few hikers @7 :30AM on a Sunday, but those that were inspired me… taking care of health surrounded by nature. After watching the final round of “The Open” when we returned, completed 👣 🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️ ⏱️before dinner. Upping from 👣 10k to 👣 12k daily is a noticeable increase for me - for an otherwise uneventful day. Decided to go for ZERO carbs yesterday, and will follow that challenge while deciding if I’ll begin a fast tonight @6PM or Tuesday night .

    Nutrition: Had to fight the hunger pains after 6PM.  Did not give in. Hot tea and self-discipline to the rescue.

    NSV: Self-imposed boundaries! Tonight is another City Planning & Zoning meeting. Our challenge against the Hospital is still in progress - and will be for the foreseeable future.  What is different?  I’m not losing sleep over it and my perspective has changed to allow me to prioritize mind+body+soul. 

    7/22 ⚖️ 131.6 Yesterday didn’t go as planned. Walked early, ran into too many neighbors, took a two hr nap at 10:30.  Crammed all afternoon for the meeting. PZ voted us down again.  We will appeal again.  It’s called delay, delay, delay.  Thankful that I got just under 👣 12k… Today is tennis.  Plan on sauna after and push myself to 🏋️‍♀️.  Rain starting late today through the week — will need to plan ahead. The ⚖️??? I didn’t eat dinner last night so last meal was around 2PM.  I’ve been thinking my weight has been high the past month due to dairy … and I also thought I would have lost 2lbs in the past two rounds but did not… so go figure. Keep honest to my routine and the body will eventually respond. I forgot to take measurements yesterday for BF% cuzz of meeting but will do that tomorrow. I want to focus while measuring but need to get going for walk/warmup/TENNIS! BTW: putting off the fast to begin until at least this eve at 6PM. Want another day or two of absolute IF 18/6 with ZERO carbs. So far two perfect days.

    7/23 ⚖️ 131.8 Rained pushed back to late today - perhaps. Heat index to 110 around noon yesterday and will be same today.  While I was pumped for not letting the meeting results impact my “routine” so much, I had a great day yesterday but last night I slept like crap or didn’t sleep at all.  So, my day will be filled with struggles and decision making as I now know how little sleep ruins me, so I must use a few tools to combat that — lets see. Could be a day of rest - maybe not.  I definitely won’t set up “must do this or that” cuzz there is no reason to set myself up for failure. I will walk and ST and jump.  Don’t know when or for how long but will get something done.  P:E =  1:1 yesterday.  Ate some high protein yogurt and berries at 7:30PM — carbs added to the equation so I had a 1:1 ratio. No bad considering.  Kcals under 1200 but macros not optimal. Mindset still not quite ready for 72hr fast. May change by this eve. I’ll know when I’m ready.  Three days of perfect IF 18/6 but last night the yogurt was at 7:30PM - which means I’ll need to hold off until 1:30 today… its mindset.  Let’s put on #HSF identity no matter how I feel and see how much self-discipline is available in the well. Oh, I love a challenge! #HSF Remember my WHY.

    7/24 Two days bad sleep. My rule of thumb is to not weigh on “little sleep” days so I decided to exercised that right. No reason to add to emotional stress. Even one pound would throw me off today. There’s no rationality in sight. Yesterday was BAD. Not food-wise, but I took the day off and laid on the couch all day while on the phone getting more and more furious over the hospital project.  The rumination has crept in and it’s not healthy for me.  Tossed all night. Will strive for a better day.  It’s sad that I thought I had recognized the “trigger” and was prepared but couldn’t deploy the tools to get passed it. This morning I ordered a “weighted” vest so maybe that will kick be into a better gear.  Putting on my #HSF identity and will attempt good choices today.  NSV: going to food is not an issue — its movement! I hope all of you will experience a fearless day!

    7/25 132.0 Another day off from movement. This one without any second guessing or guilt. Why? I like to be “productive” so my brain was productive instead of my body. re: hospital project.  I woke up knowing I was dead to movement and so worked my brain. Great nutrition (tracked & protein good - zero carbs). Successful IF 16/8. No TMI for days so I guess I’m holding on to stuff. No biggie.  Today is RAIN - was supposed to play tennis but now that’s off. Today will be an organization, reading, reflection and clean up day.  I’ll ST, mobility, balance and Jump - inside. Good decision. I’ll go back to my outdoor life tomorrow…taken me a few days but Im almost there. NSV: I’ve been much kinder to myself on an “off day”… these kind of “do nothing” days have been a pattern my whole life. I’m glad to re-charge and re-focus. #HSF Happy weekend all!

    PS: I am grateful that my "off-days" have not included eating crap. That's also an NSV. My OLD me would have combined no movement with stuffing my face. Yay me!

    36 years old. 5'3. SAHM to twin 3 year olds.

    I've just been bouncing around 143-146ish without making any real progress for far too long and I'm getting frustrated with myself. It is time to get serious and lose a few pounds for good.

    Mini goal: 140
    Ultimate goal: 130

    Rnd 301 Ending Weight: 144.2
    Rnd 302 Ending Weight: 145.3

    7/20: 144.2. A good walk, a 4 mile run on treadmill and food was within goal.

    7/21: 144.2. A short walk, no run, but food was within goal. Overall, a pretty lazy Sunday.

    7/22: DNW

    7/23: 144.7. I'm having such a hard time breaking through this plateau! Long walk, 5 mile treadmill run, and food was good.

    7/24: 143.6. My boys had physical/speech therapy first thing in the morning so we didn't have a chance to go for a walk before it got too hot. I also skipped out on the gym. So I ended the day with very little movement. But food was good and within goals.

    7/25: 142.1. Happy of this low, but very suspicious of it. I'm fully experienced to be back up tomorrow. Food was good, went on a walk, but skipped the gym again.

    Measurable Daily Goals
    🚶🏽- Closing my rings M-S Move = 700/Exercise = 45/Stand = 12)
    🍎- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget (~ 1650 ~)
    ✅ - Macros - Protein (75g - 100g) Carbs < 75g
    🏋️‍♂️ - ST - Twice per week
    💧- Water - 50 oz minimum
    🚫 - No Wine
    ⬇️- Downward trend
    🚶🏽🍎✅🏋️‍♂️💧🚫⬇️
    SW RND 3️⃣0️⃣3️⃣ ~ 231 Goal this round 227 or less than started, whichever comes first!
    7/20 231.8 ~ 🚶🏽💧Going back to macro tracking in addition to calories. Just needed a mental break. Started meal planning yesterday, now need to do a grocery run. Setting up for success!!
    7/21 232 ~ Yesterday was such an example of portion control issues. I didn't make it to the grocery store, but still made a somewhat healthy meal. Lunch, had one slice (small) of leftover pizza (crustless but high sodium) and then cooked bone-in chicken thighs with fat-free cream of mushroom soup, brown rice, and green beans. So good, I had 2 thighs. Total calories 1757. Must be better today!!! Two days down, 8 more go to!! Focus!!
    7/22 231.4 ~ 🚶🏽🍎✅🏋️‍♂️💧⬇️ Yesterday was good. Hit macros (wasn't paying attention before), calories good. Water, 60+ ounces. Today is planned and underway… 45 minute treadmill done and did some kettle swings when I was done :)
    7/23 230.6 ~ 🚶🏽🍎✅🏋️‍♂️💧⬇️ Work day yesterday, but rings closed. Only 2 more days to go to complete the Apple July challenge! Another good day. Correction…..removing🍎 over✅ over on carbs, forgot to log a couple of things!! Still consider it a good day.
    7/24 DNW ~ no recall 😜
    7/25 232.0 ~ it was a late night, so I don't believe this number. Had friends over for dinner. Dinner was salmon, rice pilaf and brocolli and I really didn't much else during the day. Today, we have a baseball game but we are tailgating with semi healthy choices 😉 The ball park food is so expensive and no real quality. I have something planned almost every day up until vacation, then vacation for a week. I guess this is my busy season!

    @deepwoodslady ~ Thank you for the additional information on Macros in MFP. Very helpful! Glad everything went well with Owen…now, lots of Ice Cream, Right???

    @Skyleen75 ~ ❤️ ❤️

    @Zaxa2021 ~ sounds like you made the best of a busy day, and good scale results to show!

    @Chapter_3 ~ so that’s not a bad idea re the scale (not weighing) and poor sleeping. I probably only had about 5 to 6 hours last night and my scale is not so happy with me today

    @ashleycarole86 ~ Welcome back! and good luck on your journey! Great Start.

    @juliehardy2025 ~ Excellent News!!! So glad to hear this!

    @musicsax ~ sorry for your loss.

    @iLive2Walk ~ I love that cave. You have such gorgeous areas around you!

    @GrandmaJackie ~ Nice day and nice movement on the scale. I love those kind of days!

    SW Rnd 303 297.6

    7/20 - DNW

    7/21 - 299.1 resumed food tracking today - I have never seen a 3 to start my weight and I don't ever want to

    7/22 - 297.1 tracked everything

    7/23 - 295.6 got my three day streak for tracking, first time in years..

    7/24 - 295.1 shedding water and vacation week from the week prior, having said that if I hadn't resumed tracking I'm confident I'd still be gaining

    7/25 - 296.2 tracked everything but having a knee issue that is impacting my movement.. The scale can't drop every day anyway!

    Round results so far: down 1.4

    @slstover35 I have been using the free Senza app. You fill in your information and it will figure your macros. You can change them to find what works best for you. The support team is awesome if you need a food added to the database and you can enter your own recipes. They ACTUALLY REPLY if you have a problem or question.

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 187.8

    07/20-187.8 💠 (Trend Weight: 190.4)

    07/21 – 186.8 ✅ (Trend Weight – 190.1)

    07/22 – 187.2 (Trend Weight: 189.8)

    07/23-189.6 ❌ (Trend Weight: 189.7)

    07/24-188.8 ✅ (Trend Weight: 189.6) Well, I was hoping the scale would have came down more after a day of “recovery time” since the travel and surgery for Owen. I’m a full two pounds up still from the trip and honestly, it doesn’t make much sense since I didn’t do THAT bad. I also took my water pill yesterday so humph…. Owen is having a very bad day today (and yesterday). Not eating. Only sips of ice water on occasion. He will be at my house by 3:30 until Sunday night so hopefully I can get something down him, especially his meds that he is refusing. Thunderstorms today, extremely humid, early 90’s in temp and very gloomy skies. Thinking of Chef Anne Burrell and her family today. So shocking and sad. It just makes me wonder if anything will be right today.

    💥💥💥 07/25-188.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 189.5) I’m grateful for the daily drops on the scale as I inch my way back down. But….. Boy, oh boy! It sure takes longer to come back off when it can leap on at 2-4 lbs easily in one day! Something to keep in mind I suppose…. I’m just a speck above starting weight. I’ve got a few more days to make #303 show a loss. Owen is still grumpy today. He is still struggling with food. The only small amount of squeezable fruit or food of any type he takes is when I threaten to call the ambulance. I told him about IV feeding and he doesn’t want that! So he takes one bite or one squeeze. That’s about it. He is finally taking some of the Motrin so that’s a plus. He’s grumpy. I am staying out of his face as much as I can.

    @deepwoodslady I’m sorry Owen is having such a rough time. My dad and my brother had their tonsils out at the same time decades ago. My poor mom! She never related any negative tales to me about that experience other than that the first thing Dad wanted after was a cigarette! He said it tasted awful and never smoked again! I recommend ICE CREAM as “treatment.” Simple flavors with nothing added which would scratch on the way down! (Signed: Dr. Jaine) LOL

    My apologies for today’s lengthy post. A great weight has been lifted, not from the scale but from my mind!

    Female 5’1” Age 75 years 
    *Travel - no scale part of the time
    HWE 197.0 (2/2008)

    Weight on 1/17/17 174.5

    OGW 137 (set by WW 2008, WW goal 1985 was 126) UGW was 125 (HS weight) Started LCHF/Keto 7/17/2017 (mid round 10)

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

    ****

    SW Rnd 303 134.0

    7/20  134.0  OMAD yesterday was Chapala’s chili rellenos omelet.  I ate about 2/3 and 1/2 of the beans and rice as well as chips. And finished it for breakfast late this morning. 

    7/21  132.5  I got up late this morning and was reading messages and had to go to water fitness so I forgot to post. So here I am better late than never!

    7/22  133.5  Probably due to higher salt

    7/23  132.5  Got a new phone yesterday but my contacts were really gone,  gone.  Trying to get back to Keto the way I know works. I tracked my intake for the first time in months?!? (I checked, my last tracking effort was May 31)

    7/24  132.5  Lunch out today. Getting the same thing I had on 7/19 & 7/20. I plan to eat 1/2 today and 1/2 tomorrow.

    7/25  133.0  I guess yesterday was a good news day for several of us!  I don’t think I’ve said anything, but in January, my retina specialist referred me to an eyelid specialist because she said there was a suspicious divot in my lower right eyelid and she wanted him to do a biopsy. I couldn’t get an appointment until April! He didn’t think it looked cancerous, gave me some drops yada yada used those went back in two weeks. He said it looked good. Come back in three months. Three months was yesterday and he said he can’t tell there was ever anything there. No biopsy, he believes it was a blocked tear duct and I’m good to go. I’ve been worrying about it ever since the retina specialist said do a biopsy. Maybe now I can get my act together. Eating was within reason. Had about 6 oz of 1800 Light Margarita after we got home.

     7/21 Today was I was feeling a little down. Coming off vacation and party planning I needed a day of nothing. I have some health issues and some tests are coming up so I took the time for scheduling of that and relaxing. I had bible study tonight. I did not exercise today. I have an early morning tomorrow for a health test and a dr appt. After that hope to get in gym time. 

    Hope I am doing this right. First time here.

    7/22 I think I need to weigh myself in the morning not right after a rice meal. 😒 Today I had some dr appt. Everything showed up good. Thankful!. Then I came home and took a nap because I got up early and didn't sleep well. Then I took my dog with me to smoothie king and we did a little shopping. Came home to hubby having dinner. He is a keeper and then we took a long, sweaty humid walk. I came back and did some strength training.

    7/23 Mahjong today. Excited to go and play.

    7/24 Dropped my kid a church camp today. Waiting to walk and workout later when it is a little cooler.

    @quiltingjaine That is great news from the eye specialist! I can see why you feel a weight has been lifted. Only six ounces of the Margarita? You’ve got more self-control than I’d have. 😂 🙏🙏
    @deepwoodslady Poor Owen. I’m so sorry to hear he’s having a tough recovery. I agree with Dr. Jaine… ice cream goes down smoothly. 🍨🍧
    @GrandmaJackie Congratulations. You did it. I’m trying to get back down to that number on the scale,⚖️ too.

    🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 303 (my 233rd).

    Goals for every 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! I aim to lose a pound this round. Good luck for success everyone.

    image-d134a13ad0497-94f3.png

    I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth".

    7/19 141.6 – 8.86 miles walked (again!) Failed to achieve goal of 141, but nevertheless, a loss of 2.6 pounds from the inflated number at the end of the last round. After I posted yesterday, I remembered that we had a dinner date with BIL & his partner at a local Indian restaurant, it was too late to edit my post. I was pleased that I ate very lightly all day & then chose very sensibly, walked to & from the restaurant and left half my boiled rice. I came away feeling satisfied, but not stuffed or uncomfortable, an NSV for me. I also feel that helped me to maintain yesterday’s number.

    EW Rnd 302 141.6

    SW Rnd 303 141.6

    7/20 141.6 (trend 141.9) 8.31 miles walked. Goal for this round is 140.

    7/22 141.6 (trend 141.8) 7.66 miles walked.

    7/23 143 (trend 142) 9.39 miles walked.

    7/24 141.6 (trend 141.9) 8.19 miles walked.

    7/25 142.8 (trend 142) 6.36 miles before a funeral and celebration of life of an aunt; practised portion control & tried to choose as sensibly as possible.

    7/26 DNW - away in the caravan in the Clent Hills, 11.3 miles walked. Finished my 2nd course of antibiotics for the infected insect bite on my back, but it is still there 😢, it's now been diagnosed as an abscess, have to go to the hospital on Wednesday to have it removed.

    Leave for vacation in two days! Busy getting things ready to go. Made my lists, laundry done. Shopping today, and then packing Sunday! We are going to Vermont for the week, rented a home on Lake Bomoseen. Bringing my weights and VR headset with me, and looking forward to checking out some new trails.

    @Chapter_3 Great attitude, the mind needs exercise too.

    @dvmmcw7442 @Zaxa2021 @GayleKCR Round 303 is looking good for you so far. Congrats on the losses.

    @itladyee Vacation or Staycation? If vacation, where are headed? That picture wasn't the "oven cave" here is the real devil's oven cave. It was REALLY tough to get to from the trail we were on - straight up hill. I was panicking about the trip back down (always find it harder to go down than up). Luckily there was a trail around the back of the cave and we found an alternative route back to the car. Phew, I thought I was going to have to go down on my behind!

    @GrandmaJackie Yahoo, back in the 40s!

    @ashleycarole86 You've got this, tracking is one of the keys to success. Helps you reflect on how your body reacts to certain foods.

    @musicsax Your miles are so impressive, are they intentional miles, or do you count all steps?

    @deepwoodslady Sorry Owen is hurting. Hoping he feels better soon. As Charissa says, ice cream right? Fruit juice popsicle?

    @quiltingjaine Fantastic news on the eyelid!

    @slstover35 Is Church camp an overnighter, or just a day camp? Maybe some time to focus on you while he is away (even if just for the day).

    *********************

    7/20 133.6 I remember writing several months ago that 132 is a danger zone. I allowed myself to surpass only because of the “scale” fiasco two rounds ago and now I am accepting that this is the weight I must accept as REAL and move on from here. Don’t know how long it will take to get to 128.x but that’s what I want.  But most of all, I want my BF% to decline.  Tomorrow, I will take measurements after researching what I can do from home (I don’t trust the RENFRO measurement to be accurate) and then, when I get to 131.x I’ll do another InBody (DXA) scan.  Thus, my journey to reduce fat, that has been seriously neglected for the past year, will commence again. I will continue to focus on functional ST and traditional ST, mobility and flexibility in my morning time before I “start” my day — the 300 jumps are a good challenge for me - and will build in “skipping” in my structured walk as well as box jumps.  It’s so easy to forget my WHY each day - my attention span and commitment to my health goals (#agingyounger) for my grandchildren seems to be forgotten often… this must be in the forefront of my mind each day to remain committed.  It’s back to placing reminders all around my house because my habits are simply not engrained YET. Good luck to all this round!

    7/21 ⚖️ 132.4 Yesterday was lovely. Completed a 3.5mi hilly trail @Bogue Chitto State Park - a little over an hour and a change of pace / scenery. There were few hikers @7 :30AM on a Sunday, but those that were inspired me… taking care of health surrounded by nature. After watching the final round of “The Open” when we returned, completed 👣 🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️ ⏱️before dinner. Upping from 👣 10k to 👣 12k daily is a noticeable increase for me - for an otherwise uneventful day. Decided to go for ZERO carbs yesterday, and will follow that challenge while deciding if I’ll begin a fast tonight @6PM or Tuesday night .

    Nutrition: Had to fight the hunger pains after 6PM.  Did not give in. Hot tea and self-discipline to the rescue.

    NSV: Self-imposed boundaries! Tonight is another City Planning & Zoning meeting. Our challenge against the Hospital is still in progress - and will be for the foreseeable future.  What is different?  I’m not losing sleep over it and my perspective has changed to allow me to prioritize mind+body+soul. 

    7/22 ⚖️ 131.6 Yesterday didn’t go as planned. Walked early, ran into too many neighbors, took a two hr nap at 10:30.  Crammed all afternoon for the meeting. PZ voted us down again.  We will appeal again.  It’s called delay, delay, delay.  Thankful that I got just under 👣 12k… Today is tennis.  Plan on sauna after and push myself to 🏋️‍♀️.  Rain starting late today through the week — will need to plan ahead. The ⚖️??? I didn’t eat dinner last night so last meal was around 2PM.  I’ve been thinking my weight has been high the past month due to dairy … and I also thought I would have lost 2lbs in the past two rounds but did not… so go figure. Keep honest to my routine and the body will eventually respond. I forgot to take measurements yesterday for BF% cuzz of meeting but will do that tomorrow. I want to focus while measuring but need to get going for walk/warmup/TENNIS! BTW: putting off the fast to begin until at least this eve at 6PM. Want another day or two of absolute IF 18/6 with ZERO carbs. So far two perfect days.

    7/23 ⚖️ 131.8 Rained pushed back to late today - perhaps. Heat index to 110 around noon yesterday and will be same today.  While I was pumped for not letting the meeting results impact my “routine” so much, I had a great day yesterday but last night I slept like crap or didn’t sleep at all.  So, my day will be filled with struggles and decision making as I now know how little sleep ruins me, so I must use a few tools to combat that — lets see. Could be a day of rest - maybe not.  I definitely won’t set up “must do this or that” cuzz there is no reason to set myself up for failure. I will walk and ST and jump.  Don’t know when or for how long but will get something done.  P:E =  1:1 yesterday.  Ate some high protein yogurt and berries at 7:30PM — carbs added to the equation so I had a 1:1 ratio. No bad considering.  Kcals under 1200 but macros not optimal. Mindset still not quite ready for 72hr fast. May change by this eve. I’ll know when I’m ready.  Three days of perfect IF 18/6 but last night the yogurt was at 7:30PM - which means I’ll need to hold off until 1:30 today… its mindset.  Let’s put on #HSF identity no matter how I feel and see how much self-discipline is available in the well. Oh, I love a challenge! #HSF Remember my WHY.

    7/24 DNW Two days bad sleep. My rule of thumb is to not weigh on “little sleep” days so I decided to exercised that right. No reason to add to emotional stress. Even one pound would throw me off today. There’s no rationality in sight. Yesterday was BAD. Not food-wise, but I took the day off and laid on the couch all day while on the phone getting more and more furious over the hospital project.  The rumination has crept in and it’s not healthy for me.  Tossed all night. Will strive for a better day.  It’s sad that I thought I had recognized the “trigger” and was prepared but couldn’t deploy the tools to get passed it. This morning I ordered a “weighted” vest so maybe that will kick be into a better gear.  Putting on my #HSF identity and will attempt good choices today.  NSV: going to food is not an issue — its movement! I hope all of you will experience a fearless day!

    7/25 ⚖️132.0 Another day off from movement. This one without any second guessing or guilt. Why? I like to be “productive” so my brain was productive instead of my body. re: hospital project.  I woke up knowing I was dead to movement and so worked my brain. Great nutrition (tracked & protein good - zero carbs). Successful IF 16/8. No TMI for days so I guess I’m holding on to stuff. No biggie.  Today is RAIN - was supposed to play tennis but now that’s off. Today will be an organization, reading, reflection and clean up day.  I’ll ST, mobility, balance and Jump - inside. Good decision. I’ll go back to my outdoor life tomorrow…taken me a few days but Im almost there. NSV: I’ve been much kinder to myself on an “off day”… these kind of “do nothing” days have been a pattern my whole life. I’m glad to re-charge and re-focus. #HSF Happy weekend all! PS: I am grateful that my "off-days" have not included eating crap. That's also an NSV. My OLD me would have combined no movement with stuffing my face. Yay me!

    7/26 ⚖️132.4 Amazed myself and got moving yesterday. Excellent nutrition until a spur-of-the-moment dinner date. Great decisions till I had a second cocktail and then ordered dessert. A 2nd cocktail always, ALWAYS ruins me. The Hospital Challenge is what is driving this discombobulation. Will sort this out - it is a worthy cause but not at the expense of sleeplesss nights and putting health on the back burner.  We are moving forward with one more appeal - so this will be ongoing until September 9th.  I MUST find BALANCE and take care of me.

    @deepwoodslady Way to be brave Owen ! Glad it went well.

    I had a wee “binge” for the first time in a long time last night. Not too much just a few cookies, ice cream, chips. Wasn’t enjoying myself, just shoveling it in my mouth angrily.

    I know it was frustration from being in a plateau. Been tracking faithfully. Reset this morning. Trying to have a better attitude, it’s DD’s birthday today.

    Not sure what’s going on. I do know that my workouts have been getting much stronger. Next week I will reduce carbs and see if I can shake this up a bit. I am really proud of how calm and consistent I have been, this past month. Tracked calmly and consistently and stayed within my goal average range while allowing some treats. I don’t want to go to extremes and be miserable, I have done that enough in the past.

    This journey is not going to be perfect. I have the strength to make different choices. I will feed my body in a way that supports my health.
