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?

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.
