Reaching my target weight

That’s great Natalie. I am right there with you. My mind and my body have had a real adjustment this year. I attribute most of it to the exercise, but I’ve been into PD audiobooks lately as well. And I found a lot of what’s in them I was already doing. But it’s sure nice to get that reassurance that you’re on the right track too.

Another day, another challenge beaten! Today was day 25-26ish of 42. Hardest workout yet I think. A few times I literally couldn’t move. The stronger workouts are definitely the ones I struggle with the most. 

 There’s 17 days left now. And Ive seen such great changes. Can’t wait to be sporting that bikini top this summer! Heck 2 weeks till South Carolina and I’m in GREAT shape!! ????‍♀️??‍♀️?

on the the subject of weight loss I was down to 173 pounds this morning. I’m thinking by the end of May I would like to be at least down to 168.

Lmao too funny. ?

 

I was at 178 yesterday. But it was not on an empty stomach. I’d already had over 1/2 a gallon of liquid (by 5am!!) so I’d guess my low number is around 176ish. 

Today I only got 1/2 of my workout in before I had to stop. Ingrown toenail. I have an apt today to have that checked. But once the pain made me cry I stopped. I’ll try to finish later today. It’s only 9:23 to go. And I’m happy to say size 10 jeans are a tad baggy now!! I may hit my dream of size 8 afterall!

I tell you what, I was looking in the mirror last night while I was helping the lil guy brush his teeth and I was elated. I am amazed with how my shape is now. Still not where I will eventually end up but damn girl! Me likey!! And not many confused looks at this point. It’s working well. And that’s amazing to me. Literal tears of joy.

No workout today. I am currently sitting in the waiting room to have my toes fixed. But I lost 2 pounds yesterday. Idk if it was the hours of crying and the gallon of tears or the angry 4 mile run until I collapsed and couldn’t move that did it, but hey a pound down or two is a pound down rite?! Rite. 

Stay motivated y’all. If I can stay motivated through this, you can keep going too!! ❤️

No exercise since Thursday. But as of yesterday morning I was down 7 pounds from Thursday. Yeah. 171.  I hadn’t really eaten. I ate a lot yesterday. But all crap. Popcorn, Applebee’s, spaghetti, chicken nuggets. Lol. It was an explosion of unhealthiness. So I’m sure I gained yesterday. I hope I did at least. Not eating for 3 days and losing 7 pounds is not healthy. Sucks. I tell you what.

One day of bad eating isn't too bad.  But you have to stay clean the rest of the time.

Well it was a rough week. No exercise since last Thursday, which was a VERY active day. But I didn’t eat for 3 days and then had my crap food day. I was down way too many pounds and I was in a bad place.  But I’ve gotten myself back stable and it’s time to get back on the fitness horse. Although I do have toe surgery tomorrow. I am back on a decent eating regimen. And I’m back to 175ish. I am happy. But it’s gonna be a rough week jumping back into week 5 after this time away. But it is what it is. Can’t let life ruin everything.

So I think I’m firmly at the 175 mark now. So that’s 25 pounds lost since mid January. And I’m only about 10 pounds from my target area of 160-170. My body has changed so much. It’s truly wonderful. 

Tomorrow I get back on the horse too. No more 4am workouts. Just exercise 4-5 days a week. 2 with my sweetie and 2-3 alone while she’s working. I’m really missing my shakeology. My bm are all messed up. My allergies are far worse even too. That stuff is truly a superfood that everyone should drink. 

I’ll post more. But not like it’s been. Swapping to a more relaxed exercise life. And truly happy.

So I have not posted here in awhile and I am still working on trying to lose weight and working out.  Yesterday I was all unhealthful with having my first beer since December and eating Little ceaser pizza and having chocolate and when I stepped on the scale this morning, I lost 2 lbs.  I went from 214 to 212. I am wondering if it is because I was active with cleaning my house and I had 18000 steps yesterday and I am working on refinishing my coffee table that I manage to get my matobelisim to pick up and burn off what I ate and them some.

After 3 weeks of being unable to do any more than walk, I finally pushed play this morning at 4am. Got my butt beat, but finished. And I feel great!  Two weeks left of t-20 and then I’m going to try something new. 

Feels so good to be back to normal. ????❤️

Things have been really hectic this month. I’m sorry about not posting here more. The good news is I’m down to 171.3 pounds and my waist is down to 37.5 inches. Things are continuing to progress and I’m roughly 35 pounds from my goal.

Thanks Kristen. I’ll try to be on more.

 

Crazy progress to report today. I weighed in at 170 pounds. I weighed myself 5 times just to be sure it was remotely accurate. I’m not sure how I lost so much weight when I drank 5 bottles of water, had two large meals and ate a package of peanut m&ms at lunch because work handed them out and s’mores pop tarts for breakfast. I did walk a little over seven miles yesterday. I was hoping to lose weight I just wasn’t aiming for such drastic weight loss. I’ll continue to stay healthy by eating when I’m hungry.

Well, I will chime in. While at my sons over the weekend. I noticed he had a scale in their bathroom. So I decided to get a good laugh and check my weight. Last time I was weighted at the VA earlier this year. I was 245. ? When I weighted my self at my sons 136. I have lost 9 whole pounds. ? I was surprised to say the least. I guess that watching my calorie intake. Cutting down on sodas. seems to work. Now I just need to lose the other 41+ pounds. LOL.

Well after a rather lengthy hiatus from my more structured exercise, I have just purchased my next personal goal! Morning Meltdown 100!!

 

Its 100 different workouts 20-30 mins a day with a trainer named Jericho McMatthews. She seems really great and inspirational and the free preview workout was pretty good. Pretty sure we will be setting up a challenge group on fb as well. If anyone is interested let me know. Our challenge groups are 100% free, male free, and so awesome. And it’s not necessary to even have the system or Beachbody at all. It’s only about supporting each other in whatever exercise and activity you are doing along with a lot of other health stuff. But most of us do use Beachbody. But not always all. Anyways figured I’d resurrect an old stream. ???

Hey Kirsten,

 

I'm looking fro exercise and dieting routines as part of a general health and transitioning plan. I came across your post on my search and would be very interested in doing a supportive exercise and activity routine - esp. male free.  Is the group still active?

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.
