Fat Bottom Girls

[fat-bottomgirl]

I was doing pretty good until we got the puppy. l stopped going to the gym and my eating habits are sub optimal again. I can't blame the puppy but initially he would cry the entire time when being left home alone in the playpen. Now that he's a bit older and can be alone in the pen I don't have an excuse. The eating I only have myself to blame, I was stress eating and stopped cooking cleaner meals.

I am now officially back to work and hoping that keeps me on track. I'm using chat gpt to help me with health lunch meal preps.

CW: 203.2lbs. New highest weight for me. I don't like it and I'm not happy with myself.

I went jeans shopping and so many negative image thoughts.

Yes, I want to look better naked, but as I'm a grandma now I REALLY want to do things like oh, get on and off the toilet by myself in 20 years. I want to not break my hip walking up the stairs. I want to be able to do whatever I want to do cause I'm strong enough to do it.

Weekly goal update

So we got a new puppy and I have slacked a bit.

I did exercise 3 times last week. This week only twice. The pup is not fully playpen trained and cries when left alone. So I can only escape to the gym when he is asleep. I have kinda figured out his nap schedule and can now better plan gym visits around his naps.

I ate out almost everyday :( but then this week I ate in everyday but 1 day so a balance.

Tracking on MFP became very daunting. When I joined many years ago it used to be free to use the barcode scanner. Now it is not and that makes adding foods a pain. I am not willing to pay for the subscription. I have been monitoring my foods and watching the quantitiy I eat and limiting my sweets.

I have lost 4 lbs and am finally back to below 200, consistently.

CW: 198lbs

SW: 202lbs

Woops

Yesterday was a bit of a slip up. I ate basically 3/4 of a medium Dominos pizza for dinner with Coke bc we went shopping in the evening and we were tired so made poor decisions including skipping the gym. Today is a new day, so hopefully better decisions will be made.

Week 2 Goals and Week 1 Update

Week 2 goals:

Exercise 3 times

Drink at least 24 oz water daily

Log food diary at least 5x this week

Week 1 goal update

Go to gym 3x - goal achieved (yay)

Limit eating out to no more than 2x - not achieved at out 3x

Limit couch use to evenings - I made an attempt and I would say achieved, I think only 1-2 days in the week did I spend more than 1 hour sitting on the couch not in the evenings

CW: 199.8 (10/9/24)

SW: 201.8lbs (10/2/24)

Overall I am feeling more motivated and happy to go to the gym. My husband has also been more active, he has been going to soccer again. He did buy ice cream, which was not very supportive, I ate it one day but he prepared himself a cone and I didn't even try it so I will take that as a win. I do have a bit of a sweet treat but not to the portion or frequency that I used to. Substituting apples and fruit instead of baked goods/ice cream.

Bit down

I went for a wellness screening through the insurance, they checked my HbA1c and lipid profile. I knew before going in that it was going to be bad, but a small part of me was hoping that maybe it'll be ok.

Welp, got my results back and they are the worst they have ever been. Officialy pre-diabetic, a1c is only 5.7 but it is still pretty disheartening. My cholesterol esp my LDL was high at 147.

If anything, this has got to be my go factor bc I don't want to become diabetic, bc that runs in my family and I care for patients that have all sorts of complications from it and it is not something I want for myself.

I told my husband. He hasn't responded to my texts yet, likely busy at work. But having his support is going to mean a lot, bc I am pretty sure he might be too. He did POC HbA1c which was 5.2 (very likely not accurate) and has fasting BSG was 105, so it doesn't make sense.

We have to do this for ourselves and eachother so we can make sure we are our healthiest selves in the future.

I have been monitoring my ins and have gone to the gym twice. I can't go for 48 hours but Saturday is going to be my day 3.

This was an unfortunate wake up call.
