and also because when I weighed myself last week it was after my cycle ended. Good thing I did. I'm between 240.5 and 241.1 now. Weird but okay lol I did say I weighed about 239 lbs before (what with all the minor fluctuations) so it makes sense. But still...weird. Anyway. My girlfriend has been giving me the motivation to do yoga! We've been doing Jessamyn's "Everybody Yoga" bundle for three days now. It's intense but fun, especially with her ❤ That's also been pushing me to get back into doing my squats routine 😬 So yes. These are all the updates I've got for now!

I just weighed myself and I'm currently about 246. Compared to the last post, this means I've gained between 2-6 pounds. Which is okay. To be honest, I thought I'd gotten back to 255. I'm glad that's not the case! I'm not making any resolutions; those are always broken. I'm just going to continue with my original goals of eating better and walking more. I got some great exercise clothes for Christmas (they were not passive-aggressive gifts btw - I asked for them). They're supposed to keep you warm in the winter (fleece-lined), so I'm excited to try them out! But with all the rain, I'm gonna need a good umbrella too. Ugh. Anyway! That's all I've got for now.

I vow to lose another pound. If I can get to 235 by the end of the month, that would be amazing.

My goal has been to walk 3-4 times a week. I've only been able to get two walks in for the last 2 weeks. I've also definitely been eating out more, forgetting to pack my lunch, and prepare for walks in the morning/coffee & breakfast the night before. I haven't really been doing core, either. 😓 I think I'm back on track now. I walked 4 miles today! Booyah. And I'm going back to waking up in the morning to walk; I've been deluding myself thinking I could just walk when I got home from work. It took me 3 hours to get home this past Tuesday due to traffic. Ugh. I'm gonna try to not make that mistake again. My cycle is pretty much over, so I'm gonna weigh myself tomorrow morning and see what the verdict is. I feel like I've gained some back...😕 But I'm not gonna let that stop me from getting back on track.

I've lost 30 pounds since last year. 🎉

It's as I expected - I was only able to get down to 244/245. But that's still hitting my goal! So I'm happy. For October, I want to get to or below 240. But I also need to figure out what I'm going to do about the weather. I was barely able to walk this week because of the pouring rain. 😑 I usually love the rain, but it's been more of a menace lately. My first thought was to find clothes that are weather resistant, set aside some money, and go shopping. But until then, I need an alternative to the outdoors. I've tried gyms before and blegh...I can't do that anymore. My mom's treadmill hasn't done wonders, either. When I asked my mom for advice she recommended looking into the Parks and Rec Center. I haven't gotten the coffee I need to stay awake for work, and I haven't reworked my budget yet. I also haven't gotten a chance to cancel those stupid tickets. But at least that I know I can get that done on the way to or from work. Basically, a variety of things are on my mind and causing me some anxiety, which has been causing me to drift from my eating habits. So that's another thing I need to watch out for. Thank goodness September is over.

October, I’m ready for you.

I had to make sure.
