So it’s been a minute.

Dealing with a not so great mental state due to both a pandemic and a gender crisis, I have gained about 5kg in a year. I know that it’s not really that much but I would like to break some of the bad habits I’ve gotten into in 2020 and early 2021.

I would like to...

1. Walk my dogs consistently during the week. This will comprise of 1-2 times during the working week and once on both Saturday and Sunday.

2. Continue going to the gym regularly, but go to one or more cardio sessions a week.

3. Stop the awful habit of eating biscuits at work. Don’t go into the tea room except for lunch and tea breaks. Stop the awful habit of buying cookies to have with coffee in the afternoon. Do not go to the shop unless you actually need something.

🌿✨🥧☕️✍🏻things to do while isolated. ✍🏻☕️🥧✨🌿

clean. take the time to tidy and scrub your home, and get to those things you’ve been neglecting (like the floor. or is that just me?)

self care. make a face/hair mask, drink something you enjoy, paint your nails, do a puzzle, etc. just take some time for yourself.

try a new recipe. use up ingredients close to expiry to avoid waste!

start a project. build that birdhouse you’ve been thinking about, or start that big painting you didn’t have time for previously. learn to play a new song.

exercise. youtube is your friend for bodyweight fitness, yoga, and workout routines. or just dance your heart out.

make a change. wanting to start rising earlier or cutting back in caffeine? perfect time to readjust and reevaluate your structure.

reconnect. skype that old friend you’ve been thinking about. send some memes to your mutuals online. do those ask games and challenges.

learn. make progress on a language or teach yourself how to code. listen to insightful audiobooks and stimulate your brain.

stay safe, smart, and hygienic!

I know I don’t share photos often but this was too good to not share!

So last week I caught a glimpse of my back in the mirror while getting changed so I thought I would take a photo of it. Holy crap, I couldn’t believe the difference I saw, especially when compared to a photo from last year. I know that it’s a different angle/lighting but there’s a big difference! I actually have back muscles now! It’s such a good feeling to see the hard work in the gym finally paying off and its good motivation to keep going. Plus its alleviating some dysphoria so there you go! 😊

I feel like I’m in a weird in-between point in my weight loss/fitness journey. For about a year, I’ve been steady between 74-77kg. The weight loss just stopped. Doing the bare minimum used to work when I was obese, but eating just okay and walking a few times a week just won’t cut it anymore. I’ve started doing the standard things that everyone suggests to get out of a rut; I’ve started weight training and I’m taking measurements at the beginning of each month, focusing more on how I’m feeling unstead of a number, etc. I know that it must be my nutrition that is letting me down, because I am going to the gym three times a week and walking my dog four times a week. But I’m struggling to get the motivation to really overhaul my diet, when like I said, bare minimum effort used to work. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have any tips to get serious again? I can’t be the only one feeling this way.
