idk

Had to travel unexpectedly for a family emergency last weekend. Super weird flying during covid and I didn’t eat very healthy at all so I backtracked.

My weight jumped back up to 142 as of yesterday, which I’m trying not to be bummed about. I think/I hope I’m just holding a lot of water because of the weird crazy weekend.

Weigh-in this morning put me at 139.6lbs. Given that I was at 145 on 7/24 I know this is mostly water weight. But I feel much better already.

It’s crazy how after I start taking care of myself again for even a few days my body is instantly like “woo thanks I can let go of all this now”.

Anyway, today I was off work so I probably overdid it a little on the workouts. Hiked 4.8 miles in the morning and did a cycling class at night. My body hurts.

I haven’t used this as a fitness blog in literally years, but I need to a place to document this journey I’m about to start and I’m too insecure to do it on Instagram so this is as good a place as any.

The goal is to get into the athletic range for body fat %. Finally. And to get my diet in a healthy, consistent place.

Weight loss in pounds is less important but for me that’s probably gonna mean losing at least 15lbs and maybe up to about 25lbs overall, depending on how much muscle is gained in the process. I have zero right now.

I’m starting at 145lbs, and am going to get my body fat tested this week to see where I’m starting, though I’d estimate at least 25%.
