My hunger has been under control today. I went off my amitriptiline and I know that can cause hunger. I bought a bunch of yogurt and I've started eating tuna again. My weight was 220 again. But hopefully tommorow I'll be at 219.

I’m getting on the treadmill later today after I help my neighbor bring some of her luggage to Amtrak for her trip. It’s rainy and snowy out so I’m probably not taking an outside walk today. Might do some yoga too. Really need to stretch my muscles.

I was weighing myself almost everytime I used the bathroom after 12PM. And I finally had enough so I threw out the batteries this morning.

This morning I had some imitation lobster. Food has been boring lately.

I ate a couple Nature Valley protein bars for lunch. I didn't have any coffee today and if I could not drink 260-350 calorie iced coffees at 9AM and eat 2 protein bars for lunch instead, I think I would be more succesful.

Checking in, although I’ve done no specific exercise in over a week. I’m recovering well from last weekend’s fall thankfully. My black eyes have faded quickly and with some concealer I’ve now just got a greyish tint under my eyes like I’m tired. My mouth healed well although it’s got a little scar tissue. My knees are sore but padding with dressing has helped my return to work.

My issue now is confidence, I feel nervous about the idea of running, not a great feeling with half marathon training. I feel intuitively the answer is to go out slowly for a short run. But even that has me anxious. Anyhow no hurry, I tore the knees on my running tights so going to have to source new ones before I get out there.

@Discombobulated Great to hear that you're healing. Yes, confidence is so hard to regain after a bad fall like that. I had that problem after the fall where I chipped a tooth. Finally just gritted my tongue and started walking again even though initially I was nervous about falling again, a little paranoid about it even. I still am, if I think about it too much, to tell the truth.

@Blue_Bird Nice to hear you're exercising again. Do you just do yoga on your own, or do you follow a video?

I did a 7.2 mi power walk this morning, and it wasn't easy because it got cold again. It was in the upper 40s with a feels like temp in the low 40s. I am glad I wore my gloves. The cold wind made my eyes tear up so badly, I even had a couple tears run down my face. Probably because my seaonal allergies are bad right now too as trees are pollinating and wildflowers are in bloom. Dealing with itchy, tired eyes not to mention postnasal drip. That was a bit of a cold walk, to be sure!

I follow a video, there’s a 15 min stress relief yoga one I like to use on YouTube that’s pretty good

Pilates this morning, only had to take a brief rest near the end, mostly because my daughter was talking to me and it was hard to concentrate on both the video and her. My daughter has a very quiet voice unless she is screaming. In some respects, I think it never really changed from a little girl's voice, and she is 17. I have heard this can happen, surgery can correct it but mostly women leave it undone while males do the surgery.

I had some vanilla chai for breakfast. For lunch I had 2 granola protein bars. For an afternoon snack I had cilantro lime rice. I skipped dinner but I did get a cherry chai latte with oatmilk around 3PM. I did 190 reps with my ab roller and I ran a lot of errands so I was more active then normal.

Only 30 minutes of personal training today. The trainer stopped the session because I was barely able to do the exercises I usually do no problem. I explained it was because I was underslept.

But lots of walking today outside.

Over 8 miles today. Over 12K steps. And it was all walking to do something – to an appointment, to the post office.

I feel blah today. I had a OWYN protein shake which didn't help out my stomach. The only thing I'm kinda in the mood for is Betty Crocker boxed classic pasta salad. I haven't weighed myself in awhile but my pants are looser.

I did a 30 min walk outside today and am doing 30 min on the treadmill later today in the afternoon. I might try to add in yoga as well.

I’ve been eating balanced. Cut wayyyy back on added sugar in my diet and started adding vegetables. And haven’t been bingeing.

I did the 30 min walk outside and the 15 min of stress relief yoga. Next up is the treadmill. But that’s gonna be a couple hours from now because I have a headache right now.

I did an 8 mi power walk today since finally my ears are feeling a bit better after taking some generic Mucinex D as a decongestant. Still having other allergy issues though. I really am sick of seaonal allergies! Oh, and then I had time with H, I guess that counts as exercise too!

Plank and pushup practice too. Now along with the high plank, I can even do the forearm plank for 1 min. The forearm plank is pretty challenging!

I haven’t hopped on here for a while but I continue to lose weight (slowly) and steadily. I’ll recalculate my bmi when I’ve lost another 3 kg. I think I no longer qualify for biatric (sp?) surgery because I’m not in the obese range. My partner still doesn’t know I take Wegovy injections. He’s lost 20kg through hard exercise and diet alone and I think he’ll feel like I’m cheating. He does notice I’m eating a lot more healthier. I’ve lost 8.5kg. I’ve got 8.5kg more to go so today I’m exactly half way to my weight loss. I have about 2 months left to go!

Hit my targets today

I noticed when I got off the treadmill today I felt ravenous though so I don’t think I ate enough to keep up with my activity level today so I made sure to eat something as soon as I got off it.

There’s a yoga move in the stress relieve yoga video I do. You’re supposed to like hold your weight on your forearms for a minute or so. And you do it two times. Each time feels like forever and I always am like please be close to being done, I’m just holding the pose and struggling the entire time lol cause it’s hard.

I got a ton of frozen acai and smoothie bowls, a few big bottles of Bolthouse juices and smoothies, and several Amys Organic meals delivered from Walmart. It cost me $98 but the juices last me about 3 days for each bottles. I did good today. I stayed in my goal. I didn't workout but I walked around Macys for 15 minutes

I soldiered through the absolute beginner's pilates video which is usually easy for me but not today.

I have gotten a bad sinus infection and physically feel horrible and know I will crawl back into bed at some point. Shouldn't have pushed the pilates. Talk about killing your appetite, just get a sinus infection and feel crap from swallowing so much postnasal drip.

Look after yourself blueberry, sometimes bed is the best place.

I’m still anxious about the idea of running, I keep getting flashbacks of the fall almost two weeks ago now. My skin is healing, but mentally I’m not quite there.

Anyhow inspired by blueberries power walks (and Tart Cherry’s steps!) I took myself on a walk this morning, it was bright and sunny which helped my motivation.

I had bought some cheap Nikes and wore them on my fateful run, I had already decided they weren’t much good for running as the forefoot wasn’t padded enough, whether they contributed to my fall I don’t know. However they are great as a pair of walking shoes - and if anyone ever needs to know this, baking soda gets blood off running shoes!

Fitness wise I’ve got a lot of work to do but mentally the walk boosted my mood.

I did a 10 min walk outside so far and am gonna do an hour on the treadmill soon. Then some yoga, weights, and squats with resistance bands. That’s the plan for today. And I have my volunteer job tonight which is very physically active as well.

Ate a healthy breakfast, have lunch, snacks and dinner planned out

Don’t know my weight. Got rid of my scale due to my ED making me obsessed with it. So I’m no longer weighing myself unless I get weighed at my psychiatrists office which I usually am. Just focusing on eating healthy, eating enough, and exercising in moderation.
