Update: my blog @afitterbrittany was restored!! Keep up with me over there as this blog will now be used as a backup.

Hey everyone, Brittany here ✨ (prev @afitterbrittany) My last blog got terminated for some reason. The email I received sounded like someone reported it and my appeal hasn’t received a response so I’m starting over in a new blog.

If you could reblog this so I can hopefully reconnect with all of my mutuals, I would really appreciate it!

For those of you that are new: welcome! My name is Brittany, I’m 30 years old and I’ve lost over 100lbs. I hit my goal weight of 145lbs back at the end of 2025. Embarking on my fitness journey has been one of the hardest and most transformative experiences of my life, but also the most important. I’ve learned so much about dedication, the joy of showing up for yourself, and healing my relationships with food and exercise. Along the way I have become an excellent cook and rediscovered my love for baking. I’ve taken so many walks and learned that I feel so at home in nature. I’m slowly discovering my personal sense of fashion and what looks best on me.

To have my last blog suddenly deleted and all the journal entries documenting my process abruptly gone has me feeling a deep loss, but I’m choosing to reframe it as a chance to start this new blog as a new chapter in my life, not as focused on weight loss, but on living a more balanced life. I’ve done the hard part, now I just need to maintain my healthy habits and embrace this next stage.

Leg day!! 🍑 97 sleep score last night and feeling great this morning!

[afitterbrittany]

Back in the gym for arm day! Need it to be Friday already 😩

[afitterbrittany]

Leg day!! I slept really good last night and feel rested this morning. A slice of raspberry jam toast and preworkout are powering my workout today 🍑

[afitterbrittany]

WHAT!!!! WE ARE SO BACK BABY

[balancedbrittany]

Hi guys!! My old blog was restored!!!! I’m going to be reblogging content and recipes from @afitterbrittany onto here as a backup but I’ll be going back to my old blog to post.

There’s a super plump yellow bird that has been in the tree in our front yard all day. All he knows is singing and eat berries.

[balancedbrittany]

Nope. Won’t be buying these again lol

2/10 before microwaving and maybe a 4/10 after microwaving. They were sooooo dry.

Clay came home for lunch today 🥰 leftover thousand dollar spaghetti and some cranberry pineapple juice!

I’ve got the strawberry Legendary donuts 🍩 to have for a snack later when I get hungry. Then I think I’m feeling French toast for dinner!

Clay is going to visit his family so I’m gonna relax in the bath after an everything shower with some Pinterest on my iPad tonight ✨ then matching pajamas and being cozy, some animal crossing, and potentially starting a new book.

I love adding whimsy where I can 💖✨ eating the cinnamon rolls my love and I made over the weekend and topped it with some sprinkles we got yesterday.

He’s coming home to eat lunch with me! Tuesdays seem extra long to me because I WFH all day and then he goes to visit his family after work and it gets dark so early so our compromise is he’s going to try and come home for lunch every Tuesday to help break up my day.

I got more feedback from my boss so this morning is going to be super busy getting edits made to 3 different email series but it’ll be an easy win to get these done today.

At 4,388 steps. Headed downstairs to refill my water, put away my dirty dishes, and hit 5,000 before I come back upstairs. It’s all about the little habits that add up!

The feels like temp is 2 ❄️ arm day anyways

I’m really happy with how my muscles are getting more pronounced but it’s like a sleeper build because just standing around I don’t think I look muscled necessarily lol

[balancedbrittany]

Our heart garland ❤️ it’s so cutie. I need a little something else on the mantle I think?

Meals for tomorrow:

- banana for preworkout

- eggs, sausage balls, and baked oat bites for breakfast

- cinnamon roll and milk for lunch (might swap breakfast and lunch tbh it’ll be a game time decision)

- thousand dollar spaghetti for dinner

- Legendary strawberry donuts for a snack

[balancedbrittany]

Breakfast for dinner! An apple Gouda chicken sausage (!! delish), 2 eggs, 5 strawberry baked oat bites, and a slice of keto bread toasted with raspberry fiber jam.

This puts me right at my goal of 145g of protein for the day! I also hit my step goal walking upstairs to change into comfy clothes. I feel energized and no real thoughts around my food intake today. I was afraid that I’d have some anxiety around eating more but I did not.

Clay took me to Aldi after work to get out of the house because I was nervous about the roads being icy even though the city says they’re safe now. We picked up a heart garland and I’m about to hang it up in the living room.

[balancedbrittany]

I am going stir crazy being at home. Our roads are still super icy so I don’t want to drive or even walk outside 😭

Took a break to eat lunch for something to do 🤡 48.3g of protein in this leftover chicken lo mein we made! It was soooooo tasty and even better after it sat in the fridge a couple days.

Now I’m gonna work on getting my steps in inside the house.

[balancedbrittany]

Adding a little snack to my morning routine to help me increase my daily intake. 6.3g protein for 2 sausage balls and I paired it with the ocean spray diet cranberry pineapple juice 😋

[balancedbrittany]

Little things this week:

Monday: press on nails and special lasagna noodles from Fiber Gourmet arrive, make a packing list for Iceland so I can start planning out what to buy over time so it’s not as expensive all at once

Tuesday: wear self tan all day for a little glow/wash off at night before Clay gets back from his parents

Wednesday: homegoods trip to look for spring welcome mat for the house

Thursday: bubble bath and face mask + new bridgerton episodes

Friday: payday! also running to Hmart for pad see ew ingredients 😋 we’re going to attempt to use these long lasagna noodles and slice them in half vertically to have long wide noodles but healthier

It’s supposed to be super cold again all week and even colder next weekend. We scouted out a store just over an hour away called Sierra and it’s like TJMaxx but for outdoors clothes so we might drive there on Saturday.

Enjoying a cinnamon roll while I start work this morning. The feels like temperature outside is 4 🥶 extra thankful to be warm and cozy inside the house.

Aside from work stuff, this morning I’m going to jot down my list of little things to look forward to throughout this week.

[balancedbrittany]

Has anyone ever told you that you look like Elle Fanning? I see it especially when you both smile with your teeth! So pretty!

I have not heard that before but thank you so much 🥹 I think she’s gorgeous so that’s such a compliment omg
