I ended up leaving work early yesterday.  I stayed home from work today.  I had a vicious bout of food poisoning.  As it happens, there’s Covid at work, so I won’t go back til Tuesday, and I’ll get a rapid test Tuesday to make sure that I don’t have it.  I mean, I don’t.  I have food poisoning.

I get so dehydrated when I’m sick like this so I’m drinking electrolytes and I’m actually going to eat for the first time in 24 hours... gently.

I walk 6 days a week, at least an hour a day, usually 2.5 miles, which I’m trying to bring up to 5 a day in the morning by August.  Usually I take Sundays off.  Tomorrow I’m getting up and walking.  I feel like a lump today.a complete lump. 

Anyway, tomorrow I’m meal prepping.  I make these killer salads for lunch at work: three different colored peppers, carrots, cucumbers, grape tomato, mixed lettuce, spinach and three different kinds of protein.  It’s just a LOT of cutting.  that’s my day tomorrow.  I’m making pasta salad, I’m making egg roll in a bowl with rice, and I’m making 4 luscious salads.

I need to get back to dedication and consistency.  I can do this.

Some of you need to learn the difference between skinny girls being made to feel insecure about their body from certain people and fat girls being made to feel like their entire life is worthless because of their body size from literally the entire world

People still don’t get the point of this post…….wild

Guess who’s back?  In 2020 I lost a ton of weight.  Even though my Dad died and I had a terrible time fighting compulsions and the bingeing.  The last time I updated my personal info I was at 411 pounds.  I’m now at 360.

I walk 2.5 miles every day before my new job, where I walk an additional 1.5-3 miles depending on if I’m running walking club or not.

I’ve decided to be more dedicated to posting here to help me with some goals.  1) I want to get back to ruthless honesty about my food and exercise.

2) I want to get back to community and finding inspiration from all of you.

3) I want to get back to consistently posting to remind myself where I am and why.

Hello again, friends, lovely to see you.

Since my last post, I’ve plummeted into a depression, tried to correct it through daily walks for endorphins, then my dad died unexpectedly. Then I ate my feelings for two long weeks. Then I finally weighed myself and I was down another 6 pounds.

I am in a bad head space but I’m still holding center for now, white knuckling the whole way.

I’m up to walking 3.5 with a full bridge in 90 minutes, which for me is a blessing. I’m slow but I’m able to do so much more than I thought I could do.

And now, now I’m going to take a nap.

Go out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself.

100 WHAT???

I am pleased to tell you that last week I weighed myself for the first time in a long time and..... I’m officially 100 pounds down from my highest weight.  I’m also 50 down since October.

I don’t know how I’d do it without you awesome people blazing the path and cheering me on my own.  Slow and Steady.  Onto the next 100.

My necklace is askew and my unibrow is depressing. This is unfiltered and part of my face collection.

I gained weight last week because I binged Sunday and had a rough time getting it back together, and I don’t even care, it’s such a win.

My face is no longer a circle! If I just slow and steadily move on this path I will get where I’m going and now I have the proof!

To love someone long-term is to attend a thousand funerals of the people they used to be.

The people they’re too exhausted to be any longer. The people they don’t recognise inside themselves anymore. The people they grew out of, the people they never ended up growing into. We so badly want the people we love to get their spark back when it burns out; to become speedily found when they are lost.

But it is not our job to hold anyone accountable to the people they used to be. It is our job to travel with them between each version and to honour what emerges along the way.

Sometimes it will be an even more luminescent flame.

Sometimes it will be a flicker that disappears and temporarily floods the room with a perfect and necessary darkness.

Sweating through yesterday’s mascara after a one mile happy walk with Leslie Sansone and my sister in NJ.

I put on this top because it’s a work out top I don’t usually wear, certainly not in public, and it skimmed over my body because it’s too big now. Freshly washed, no stretching, just fell over my rolls and hips.

Losing weight f***ing rocks.

My knee was super twingey this morning so rather than pushing on it, I’m babying it.  I’d REALLY like to get a 2 mile on a bridge tomorrow, so I need a non-twingey knee.

I have to say, I often push through, and I often mess my knees up.  At the start of the pandemic, I was in PT, but having lost weight has really made a difference.  I need to treat my knees more kindly.

I did a mile with Patty this morning; Leslie Sansone.

Then I walked at least 250 steps per hour for 9 hours which put me over 2 miles on a slow exercise day for me.

Taking tomorrow for stretching and Pilates, plus the 250/9.

Then Sunday hitting my first bridge in months. I got this!!

[journeyfrom400]

This is how I in Florida and my sister in NJ get a mile in together before the work day.

Love getting my steps in. This May I am going to try to get my 250 steps at least every hour. I tend to be seated all day. So time to make a new goal for myself.

Woot!
