Not me accidentally pulling a 17 yr old me move by forgetting to eat. Eating only a sandwich and some nuts (it’s giving almond mum) and then going on a run 😅

3lbs more down and my sports bra is nearly too big. Most of my jeans are baggy, my leggings are baggy. I bought a new running top and overestimated my size, so now that’s huge.

Just hit my new lowest weight in years, I can’t believe how much I took my previous body for granted.

I also have taken off my smart watch, I’ve swapped to a Casio F-91W until I can get the digital watch I really want. And honestly it’s so refreshing!

Down to 172.4lbs 💪 not bad for someone who hasn’t exercised in a month and been suffering from a huge chronic illness flare up.
