9 week results???

223.6lbs: -14.2lbs

49.5in: -1.5in

40.5in: -3in

49.5in: -2.5in

Apparently I goofed and haven't been reporting correctly? Or maybe 8 weeks ago is when I began intermittent fasting? Regardless we at week 9 lol.

The difference between these pics is 4 weeks. But guess how many lbs difference?...0.4lbs, no fucking lie. Stomach's visably smaller.

But yeah, only lost 0.4lbs in a month and I'll tell ya why. The only thing I kept up with was intermittent fasting. Even then I skipped a couple of days. So no meal plan, barely any calorie counting, eating out a lot, eating sweets, and drinking alcohol. All this shows is that you can lose weight by using one method, but progress is going to VERY slow.

This month I'll focus on exercise. I'll start by walking the dogs every day this week. Start boxing again next week. And walk for 30min the week after.

I'll try my best to drink water, eat well, and count calories but I'm not gonna stress it.

7 week stats (05/31/2021)

222.7lbs: -15.1lbs

49.5in bust: -1.5in

41.5in waist: -2in

50.5in hips: -1.5in

I haven't gotten back to my diet since I went to New York, nor have I started exercising again. But I've lost weight? The magic of intermittent fasting, I suppose. I need to quit drinking so much also, but I can't do too much at once or else I'll back slide.

Also Happy Pride, y'all!!!

I knew I'd gain water weight this weekend. It's hard to eat healthy on the road (not impossible though). It's hard to care about your new lifestyle when you're not in a good mental space. I spent 12 hours driving on Friday to get to my aunt's funeral, and 12 hours driving on Sunday to get home. I'm dead.

At least I get today as a rest day. I'm going to clean my room, and drive another hour to my in-laws to watch their house for 2 weeks with my partner. Back on intermittent fasting for sure, going to try to walk the dogs every day, and going to exercise for 30min most days this week. Wish me luck!

Which do you prefer, real books or ebooks?

I prefer real books. The smell of them and the sound the pages make when I flip them is what gets me.

I was having a hard time last weekend keeping up with my diet. I'm having an even harder time with it this week due to deaths in the family. I clocked in today at 222.4lbs which is better than I was imagining, but I'm going to be super gentle with myself for the next week at least. As I'm grieving and in a near constant state of physical pain. There's no race, the end goal is to be healthy and have more energy/strength.

My efforts are paying off! Hopefully it's not all muscle loss 😬 gotta get back to the gym and start lifting again.

Photo on the left was taken March 13, closest to when I started trying to lose weight. Not the same angle, or light source, but I can see a difference. I can certainly FEEL a difference.

Intermittent fasting 16:8 (2 days I didn't for medical reasons), loose meal plan (high protein/fiber, low carb), low/zero calorie drinks for the most part, and exercising when I can (jobs physical too).

I still have sweets and drink alcohol. I'm just trying to listen to my body more. I'm excited to keep going! 😀
