I let this blog die a few years ago because of school and life. I let my weight loss and fitness journey stop too back then. I felt back and was always in a hole.

I stopped that this year. This March I started back up. Well February but we can’t count that the first week I was suppose to start I got sick. But I’m back.

Accomplishments Since March:

Going to the gym weekly at least 3 days a week

15 weeks at the gym

Down 20 LBS

Muscle growth

Doing exercises I hate but I know work into what I want to build up (I’m looking at you leg extension and shoulder press)

I’m seeing the actual muscle growth and feeling it

I finally tried the stair master

Moroccan Inspired Lunch

On a hot day like today in England I really fancied something refreshing and cool.

I rummaged in my fridge to put together something nutritious and delicious!

To make this Moroccan-style wrap, you will need:

1 tortilla wrap (I used a tomato tortilla!)

1/2 cup of baby gem lettuce

1/2 cup of sweet red pepper

3 tbsp of chickpeas

1 tbsp Moroccan hummus

A pinch of salt, pepper, chilli flakes, or any other seasoning you like!

Simply mix the hummus, chickpeas, and seasoning in a small bowl until combined. Chop your veggies and lay them on the tortilla. Top with your chickpea and hummus mix and wrap up tight!

Putting this together was a big win for me.

Personally, it really helps to enjoy food as a creation and something you can be proud of when recovering from an ED. After I made this, I jokingly went to my mother "smell this beautiful work of art!"

Heyyy, I actually got up today and got my 10k steps in for the first time in a long time. Finishing off my night with a facemask and then heading to bed. I need to also start eating more fruits and veggies in my diet, because I got my calories down, but not enough of those foods. So, that’s my goal this week, more fruits and veggies and steps. I am gonna lose this time!

I lost about 2 lbs this week. That makes me feel good. ^^

I’ve offically been fasting for a week and I have some thoughts. It kind of came easy for me, I think because I had weird eating habits due to school. I also have my boyfriend doing it with me. He also kind of started or before me, but it’s ok. I have noticed my water intake has increased too, I’m happy for this because last spring I was down to just drinking water, hoping to get there again, maybe. I also noticed because I only have about 2 meals a day now the amount I eat has also gone down. I also noticed my belly isn’t as bloated anymore and I feel really good about that. When I get up I’m gonna hit the scale to see if I notice a change, I mean I’ve noticed some good chances already ,so if I don’t lose I don’t care because this week I have some wins.

Question: Do anyone know any good replacements for coffee? I’ve never been a fan and do sometimes need a caffine kick.

Intermittent Fasting

So I started trying intermittent fasting. I’m doing the the 16/8 method. I’ve only done about 3 days of it far and I’m not finding it to hard. But I also did it on the weekend where I tend to sleep in. So we’ll see how this week goes. I’m mainly drinking water during my fasting period. Anyways I’m ready to try this more.

A little disappointed

As the post says I’m disappointed in myself. I fell off my weight loss and working out when quarantine hit. I let a lot of stuff get to me and I lost my drive. I hate that I did this. So I’m back TK square one, I well ok weight. So how I’ve keep a lot of muscle and strength, so I think that’s a win. But I know why I fell off. I have so much trouble keeping myself accountble. It’s very hard not having someone with me to keep encouraging me to go. Text is so-so for me. I miss having a buddy to do things with like the gym. I fell off. I hit the ground hard, but I know I can’t give up on my goal. I have to get back up. I want to do this for myself in the long run. I CAN DO THIS. I hope we can all do this for anyone who might have fallen off too.

So I don’t use Tumblr as much as I use too, but I am happy to say I’m working out again. I had to get some sense of normal back after having to coming home and finish off the school year. But I’m back. My friends and I are doing a small 100 squats a day for 30 days challenge and I’d say I’m doing pretty good.

[comingdownthepounds]

Recorded my squats to talk about with some friends. I feel like it’s pretty good form. Let me know if you know if it needs improvement more, and if so how should I got about it.

[comingdownthepounds]

Oh, I noticed a great thing the other day. My squatting form has gotten so nice. I am starting to go deeper and deep as I do.

Post workout selfie, used my kettle bells today. It felt really good to workout again.

My high school cancelled schools today till April. This means my little brother will be home this week. He is gonna drive me crazy. On top that I still have 2 essays to write and now another 1 page paper for my dance class in which I have to document certain activities. I’m kind of stressing .
