So audio is a big part of motivation for me.

Today I had a Quest protein cookie for breakfast and a lime Pepsi a few hours later. Around 9 I had a strawberry Ensure. Lunch was a chili cheese dog and an iced matcha. Not the greatest combination. It didn't stay down.
I'm at 1,154 calories, 155 carbs, and 51 grams of protein. Dinner will probably just be salmon __________________ I'm Blue |

I have actually lost a little bit of weight, but I am going on vacation and am afraid that in those 9 days lost pounds will pile back up.

I was hesitant about telling my GI I started Golo on Saturday. But I figured I needed to tell them. She asked what it was and I said it was for my weight. She looked it up and asked if it was helping one way or the other but didn't make a fuss about me being on it.
I'm not having any side effects from it and it does seem to lower my appetite quite a bit. __________________ I'm Blue |

I'm discouraged. I'm exercising every day, and I do feel stronger, but I'm still a whale, and I always will be. |

I didn't actually realize a small frosted animal cookie blizzard had 720 calories. Oops.
Overall I'm at 1,391 calories, 201 carbs, and 27 grams of protein. __________________ I'm Blue Last edited by Mountaindewed; May 15, 2024 at 01:19 PM.. |

I had a strength training session in the early evening and then an Orangetheory treadmill only workout in late evening.
At Orangetheory, I changed my speed from 3mph to 3.5 mph. I did not go all out with incline but just focused on walking at a higher speed. I was completely alright! That felt great. I only got 7 Splat points which is fine. I plan to solidify making 3.5 mph at 1% incline my base and then will add incline later. Today I just did 90 sec at 4% followed by 60 sec at base, then 60 sec at 7% followed by 60 sec at base, then 30 sec at 10-12% followed by 60 sec at base, rinse and repeat. It was fun and did not feel too difficult. My stats: 289 calories burned (less than before) 7 splat points: 7 blue, 29 green, 7 orange mins. AVG HR 126 BPM, PEAK HR 142 BPM (lower than before) 4917 steps __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Gabapentin 1200 mg+Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications, some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity BMI ~ 38 |

I have even seen cropped t-shirts online that read "Strong, athletic, and fat". I would not wear them, no, but I subscribe to the concept of the message on them. __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Gabapentin 1200 mg+Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications, some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity BMI ~ 38 |

Maybe you are overexercising? It is completely fine to walk and do other low intensity cardio every day, but for muscles to grow, you need breaks in resistance training. Not every day. Also, HIITs should not be done every day. 2-3 times a week max.

I just bought some ankle weights that I am hoping will strengthen my legs

I ate most of my calories before 10AM. Then I got caught up some TV shows all day and I was distracted. I just ate a cup of rice about an hour ago. For once my Geodon isn't making me hungry.

I've eaten ok today considering my nausea. I've had some plain pad thai noodles, a protein shake, a cup of chicken broth, and 3 biscuits.
If your issues are severe enough like mine were and your insurance pays for it, I highly suggest trying PT for chronic constipation. My physical therapist was like a magician and even with 3 zofran a day I don't have a issue going. __________________ I'm Blue |

I've had 955 calories so far today. A couple of my cousins who were really obese for years are now on Ozempic and have lost a lot of weight and they look good. It makes me want to better my own situation. Even though I know no one won't judge me and the other one nobody likes and probably judges everybody.
The weird thing is, my jeans are too baggy and I look like I've lost a lot of weight. So maybe I was really bloated. I haven't thrown up since yesterday morning. __________________ I'm Blue |

I'm having a hard time with this whole weight loss thing. But I upped my calories to a more reasonable amount and I have my canned vegetables at eye level on my shelf instead of way on the bottom shelf, and I put most of my junk food away. I did eat a 40 calorie can of asparagus and a can of no salt added tomatoes. I ate a donut too. I'm not losing weight but I'm not really gaining either.

I've started exercising again, intentionally, not only walking 10-15 miles a day without much elevation out of necessity. Did about 15 minutes of HIIT today. I figure doing that a few times a week and adding some strength training will help get rid of this flub. I need more quad and core strength. I walked up a hill the other day with only 250ft elevation gain and a light pack (like 10lbs), and I was ridiculously slow. Goal is to get at least my 14th NH48 down before leaf peeping season.

On the 22nd I was 216.8 and now I'm 213.6. I don't know if its the Golo starting to work, or from being sick or the med changes. I haven't had much of an appetite these last few days. I've been eating about 1245 calories, and my carbs have been under 200.
