Feminist Get Fit

My name is Katie. This is my journey to change my life-- to get fit, eat healthy, and maybe lose some weight along the way. My goal is to be body positive, and love myself no matter what. Here goes nothing…

Day 1

I’m feeling super full. Like I don’t know if I’ll be able to eat my last snack, whattttt? Is this normal? Is anyone else experiencing this?

I need 5 people!!

I don’t know if this is for you or not, but I was hoping some of you could help me. I’m looking for five new people who want to get started losing weight over the next (21/30/60/90) days and I was wondering if you know anyone that may be interested.

I will be starting a round of the 21 day fix, August 17th and would love for some people to join me. If you get the containers within the next few days, you’ll be able to start the challenge with me. I’m excited. My goal is to lose 7 lbs in 21 days.

What are your goals?

Who’s with me?

I’m in!

Food Notes for 8/16/15-8/16/29

Plain Greek Cultured Coconut Milk

So I am borderline lactose-intolerant and I asked the man at the grocery store for a dairy free greek yogurt (usually I just stick to Yoplait lactose free, which I love). He led me to the So Delicious Plain Greek Cultured Coconut Milk, in theory this sounded great. But, I guess I forgot I’m not a big fan of coconut milk. So alas, now I have far too much soy coconut yogurt. Lesson learned.

Birds Eye Steamfresh

I have always loved the steamfresh bags of veggies, but now they are making my life even easier. One bag turns out to be two servings of vegetables (2 green containers)!

Hannaford Berry Medley

A bag of these is four serving of fruit (4 purple containers)!

Skinless Turkey

Turns out a pound is about 14 slices, and 6 slices is a red container.

Uncle Ben’s Instant Brown Rice

Love this stuff, so quick to make, and I can make a weeks worth at once. Turns out a heaping .5 cup of raw race is equivalent to about 3 yellow containers (carbs).

Meal plan for 8/16/15-8/16/29. This was my first stab at making any sort of meal plan using the 21 day fix containers. Also, I know it looks kind of repetitive, but that is how I eat. If I find something I like, I eat it until I can’t eat anymore, and then I switch. It also made planning really easy. I made the whole plan, but have to decide to do four days, and then reassess.

Commence 21 Day Fix, kind of

As the summer comes to a close I’m going to be working crazy hours at my seasonal restaurant ends. This will mean grabbing anything I can off the grill, and running home to get any sleep I can. I knew this wasn’t a great time for me to start the fix, so I’m starting my own version to slowly get myself into it. I have planned, grocery shopped, and meal prepped for the next four days. I’ve already learned a lot. I will be posting my grocery lists, meals plans, and feedback on things I tried that worked awesome, or really went poorly.

Long overdue update

Getting back on here makes me realize how much progress I made. I am at 197 currently, still 13 lbs below my starting weight, but still 22 more than I was.

No excuses, but since my assault and aunt’s passing, I’ve been a hot mess. Depression, anxiety, comfort eating, and long naps hasn’t been doing well at keeping me me very active.

So, I am starting the 21 day fix once I’m done by summer time job September 7th. Has anyone done this program before? Tips and tricks? I’m doing a couple of practice days this week just to ease myself in. Updates to follow.

80 Day Weight Loss Challenge

So, I'm doing this thing..

1st week

1. Write your current stats: height, current weight and goal weight. Why are you losing weight?

Current height: 5'4"

Current weight: 203.5

Goal weight: 135

Why? I want/need to be healthy. Previously when I was down to 175 I felt FABULOUS. I felt like myself. Now I just feel like a slug, and am doing a lot of emotional eating.

2. Describe your dream/goal body. Just there, something that neither limits or changes who I am or how people think of me. I want my mind to be valued over my body. However, bending over to tie my shoes without my stomach in the way would be nice. I'd also not like to be out of breath so quickly. 

3. Is your UGW in an “unhealthy” range of BMI? No, its actually at the higher end of healthy BMI for my weight.

4. Have a vegan day today. No meat, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products whatsoever. Give it a try! I'll try tomorrow?

5. What is your favorite healthy food? FRUIT-- pineapple, mango

6. What is your favorite unhealthy food? EVERYTHING-- sugar and carbs

7. What is your least favorite healthy food? spinach

I've been MIA

So I've totally been MIA. There has been lots of things going on in my life.

I 've started grad school, and took too many credits in one semester.

Then, at the beginning of December I had something very personal take place, something that maybe someday I'll discuss on here.

While my mind has been in a cloud and I haven't been feeling quite like myself I've been trying to use exercise to get me refocused.

My journey now has been more than 1 year and I want to highlight some of the great progress I've made-- because if I can do it you can do it to.

My starting weight was 210, I'm now 175. I've lost 35 pounds.

When I first started I couldn't run a full mile without stopping, now I can run ten miles & I can run a 9 minute mile.

I had never run in a race, now I have run a 5K, 10K, and am registered for a half marathon at the end of March.

I started wearing a size 14, in the same brand I'm now an 8.

I took my first yoga class, and this morning executed my first headstand.

I get runners high.

I can feel the changes in my body and myself, my love and respect for myself has grown tremendously. Although some days are tough, looking at the big picture makes me proud of what I have accomplished.

Here's to all the changes I will make in the next year!!
