Haven't been posting much. Haven't had time. And definitely haven't had time for people's opinions, so there is that.

So the sad news is that my weight loss has been pretty stagnant since my last anniversary 😢 I will have to check the numbers but yeah, it has been a year again.

Don't get me wrong- maintaining is a HUGE Win. But I am still in the 190's most days and I am only 5'5".

So I have not been keeping a deficit over time.

Now I know. I am checking that box with no shame and moving on. Here is to the year I turn 45 and hit my elusive goal weight!

It has been a mixed bag and there have been ups and downs. Many of them. But, I keep pulling up those bootstraps and moving on.

There have been many wins!

Unboxed and started using my walking pad

Learning to eat to satiety not overstuft

Continually tweaking of problem areas

Started Jiu Jitsu

Started biking outdoors again

Started running! Mufaka whut?!

Stayed employeed

Mom is still kicking

House is still standing

Started watching tiktok

Started Pokemon again! Great for extra walking but sucky for other activities because nothing else counts for much.

Not wins-

Used to workout more. A lot more.

Tired often, even tho I keep trying for earlier bedtime

Still struggle with night eating

Still struggle with afternoon snacking

Stopped my conqueror challenges, which was really supporting lots of biking & elliptical miles

Here was my latest meal:

Afterwards I did a Listerine strip. Which I knew about 20+ years ago. Why have I not been using them?

All right you hawt bitch. Let's go!

Time to level up!

You have done a great job making aire your lifestyle is sustainable over time. Let's GOOOO!

Set Realistic Goals Start with achievable goals like losing 1–2 pounds per week. Setting SMART

Eat a Balanced Diet Focus on whole foods—fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

Control Portion Sizes Even healthy foods can cause weight gain if overeaten.

Exercise Regularly Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity weekly, such as walking or cycling, plus 2–3 days of strength training.

Stay Hydrated Drink water throughout the day. Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger.

Get Enough Sleep Lack of sleep increases hunger hormones and cravings. Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep to support weight loss.

Manage Stress High stress can lead to emotional eating and belly fat.

Track Your Food and Activity Journaling or using an app helps you stay aware of what you eat and how active you are,

Avoid Liquid Calories Soda, juice, and sugary coffee add calories fast.

No weight today

But I crushed a workout after work.

And I hit 10k steps while at work.

Today I am doing it for the eggs. I need some eggs to hatch in pokemon. I need some candy for my keldeo.

Do it. Then do it again.

Do it tired.

Do it sad.

Do it now.

Mostly ok- trying real hard not to buy stupid shit from the grocery store.

I have a real sensitive trigger for upf. Which includes healthified food like protein bars. Halotop. Drizzlicious.
