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?

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
