Getting my walk on for fitember! My weight has been moving slow so for the rest of September I'm changing it up 💪

September Streakin', Day 6!

Another night run on the books 💙 Took it easy today and just enjoyed the ride.

I’ve had such a hard time posting my Fitember stuff because the words just aren’t coming to me. Removing something negative feels so hard to phrase for some reason.

Anyway, here are my goals for this month:

Stop slacking on cardio. I do cardio, but I think that I am cheating myself a little bit. I either need to increase the intensity or increase my time spent doing it.

Eat at least one vegetable a day. I know this sounds like not enough veggies, but I’m super inconsistent about that so 1 is still a tough goal for me.

Hi there! My name is Ann.

I'm an analyst at a tech company in northern Idaho. I used to be a fitblr and a runner and I've been "gonna start running again" for about four and a half years now. So I'm using hoping to use Fitember and the September run streak (#septemberstreakin22) to get back into running and back into the fitblr community.

And with that, I'm off on my first run of the streak!

Sept 1, 2022

So I signed up for #fitember and thought I would add one more goal along the way - no alcohol. But since my birthday is the end of September, I started a little early.

So, Aug 31 - 10 minute walk, zero alcohol

Sept 1 - stairs to work, 10 minute walk, stairs at noon, no alcohol

2 days down! 💪

Hi, my name is Lucy (she/her). I’m 28, have a master’s in health sciences, and am quitting my job as a medical scribe in October as I’m applying to medical school and want to spend my last little bit of time that I CAN volunteering and giving back to my community! I have a husband and a sweet little pug, Oreo, and I’m not sure which one is hairier.

I’m not sure I really belong in this community, since my idea of fitness differs from some standard ideas. I have dealt with disordered eating in some capacity since I was very young. Eventually, I developed atypical anorexia in high school which persisted on/off in undergrad. Recovery was the best choice I made, but I gained a significant amount of weight to the point people tend not to take my history seriously. It’s a bit of a curse of atypical ana.

The reality is that I can take lot of “healthy habits” too far. One of the things I have learned in recovery is that focusing on specific goals can sometimes make me question or not trust my own body and it’s cues. In some cases, I lost complete touch of cues- even in recovery, it was more about doing things “the right way” rather than reconnecting my body and brain. I’m still trying to sort this out, but one of the big things I want to do in Fitember is work on that connection. Put simply, I want to do more movement I enjoy, at intensities my body wants, in ways that promote my general health (not changing or shaping my body), and eat in mindful, flexible ways that supports my activity and general health as well.

#fitember goals accomplished for the weekend, took a nice walk today, reached my step goal, spent some quality time in the garden yesterday which is a plus on the mental health end, so all in all I'm satisfied.
