It's another hellish day at least it's "cooled" enough for my air conditioners to fully function. Couldn't sleep well over it last night. My new fridge comes today at 3 or so. I hate the fourth of July still apparently it was a dislike at first but it's the 9th anniversary of losing my grandma (my mommy to me). I was her favorite and always with her when I was little. I miss her still terribly. My brain still hits me with you should call her reminders. Then I get depressed at random for the realization she's gone.

I can't do the gym today thanks to the heat. Instead I'm using my walking pad to get steps and movement in. I had a little breakfast again. Grapes, peanut butter on toast and strawberry preserves.

I'll update here later with some stats from my Garmin.

I'll also update my food logging. It's been good so far. I took my second shot yesterday. I don't think I'm scared of needles anymore. Finally.

Yesterday's gym was a rough one but I made it. I didn't log my cycling track for 30 min. Today I'm gonna walk my dog as far as we can go, which is likely around the block and back vs our 3 avenue stroll. This heat in NJ has been brutal on us.

My fiance has been my best and biggest cheerleader these days. I'm so grateful for him. I'm close to half done on all my books.

One Week Down

Smaller Meals, More Water

Better Sleep

No noteable side effects besides actually feeling normal hunger sensations. I do feel feel full finally.

Started at 230 and I'm at 227

Other stuff below

First shot down. Not many huge changes but when I tried Ozempic I got hit with intense nausea, projectile puking, them nasty ass sulphuric burps and acid. So far none of that evil has joined in. I also did start to lose weight already. But I've also worked on creating a sleep schedule. Tomorrow I'll start the gym, despite the heat, reward myself to some tanning, and chilling for a while in the lounge, and reading more. I'm going to try to do at least a weekly post like this one.

Current Reads: Dungeon Crawler Carl #6, Game Over, Salem's Lot, Atmosphere, and Death by Cheesecake.

Strain of the Day: Super Lemon Haze

Grateful for: Milo, Cotton Batas in the Morgue-Like Cold of our Bedroom, my partner, Pokopia.

Fitness is:

Helping your body help you

Celebrating your physical abilities

Getting in touch with your strengths and weaknesses so you can be more well-rounded

Improving to reach your natural potential

Feeling healthy and strong

Fitness is not:

Hating your appearance

Punishing your body

Rejecting your naturally unique self

Conforming to an external standard

Basing your self-worth or identity on physical attributes, which may change outside of your control

[liftingweightswhilefemale]

Work WITH your body to explore its potential for strength, endurance, and flexibility, as well as the (healthy) range of possible sizes and shapes for you.

It's not wrong to want to improve your appearance, but focus on achieving the best version of your unique body, not someone else's (or one that doesn't even really exist). Anyway, for most of the day, you probably can't see yourself-- but you'll always be able to notice differences like having more energy and needing less help.

And it's not all about physical changes. Exercise to build a stronger connection between your mind and body. Become more aware of your capabilities. Understand better what signals you're feeling. Learn the muscle memory of a motion (which really resides in your brain, of course). Above all, practice thinking of your body functionally and non-negatively, as a helper with which you can do amazing things together.
