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?

      There are trans folk who pass better than some cis people.  People usually aren't on the lookout for those who are cross dressed.  As long as there are no multiple screaming signals and you don't draw attention to yourself you can probably pass better than you think. For example, if you walk into a bank in heels, however, and you DON'T know how to walk in heels, you will attract the attention of a security guard, especially if you are acting nervous. If you wear flats and just go to the bank and do your business like anyone else, it is likely no one will notice, except that there was a customer who was taller than most women are, but then there are tall women, and tall, broad shouldered woman.  I made the mistake years ago of thinking I had outed such, and knew she was a he.  Later I learned she had five kids, and her husband was bigger than she was.  Ooops.

      I don't know much about CNAs.  They report to an RN, right?  Can you somehow bring this up to the RN in a way that does not get your CNA mad at you? I'm not saying you should, but maybe that is a good course of action.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      This is the thing.  A month ago tomorrow is when I stopped wearing m clothing.  Today I feel great.  I do not have dysphoria when I am dressed as and I move as a woman.  I was just thinking about that because I was wondering if I would or will get hit with a wave of "you don't have dysphoria so you might as well dress like a guy. Less hassle with your wife."  Not that she is aware, to my knowledge, that these androgynous clothes are women's.  No desire to "flip", no feeling of need to, just happy identifying as female.  Speaking, in my deep guy voice, with female voice patterns, doing the feminine gestures that come naturally and without exaggeration and at peace.

      Yes, my brother was born lactating due to absorbing hormones from my mum.    Of course she isn't a nurse, she is a CNA. She should however still have general medical knowledge.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient. 
    • Ivy
      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.

      I used to include going ti worship but no longer    awkward good fir you. enjoy. :)   raine  sorry. my family is pretty lousy at support too. my part time job helps alot. hope it gets better fir you n all
    • Ashley0616
      It takes a lot to make me that way. Then it depends on which side comes out. I could simply walk away or be very confrontational. I'm used to being made fun of and criticized. I don't take to kindly if someone talks about my kids or family though. 
    • missyjo
      aren't folks odd ..just dress differently..like pick to be a boy for today instead of the girl you're screaming you are really..so that I can be more comfortable...needs   I'm sorry   I have family wedding this summer too..I've said for 2 years I'm not going n I've skipped holidays for that period..now I'm being told I'd best be there in boy mode...yeah right..laughs   sorry. I'm planning on once again skipping the event. until you'll let me attend as myself, I guess you dint really miss me that much .so I find something else to do n just accept the number of folks who unconditionally love me is a lot smaller than claimed.  oh well.   good luck sweetie
