Back at it again :) I figured I would wait til today to post again so I could have my rest days, flux in weight a little and then hop to it. I’ve been unintentionally but I guess subconsciously running 3 days and working out at home for 2-3 days out of the week. Eventually I would like to move up to 4-5 with running but I haven’t fully committed to a route yet and with the rise of monkey pox as a threat, I’m not quite comfortable running at a gym. Either way, the more I learn the area, I’m sure I’ll find a route in which I feel safe and doesn’t give off first-girl energy (think final girl in reverse). Back in Baltimore, the early morning fear would be from men, getting mugged, raped etc. Here in San Antonio, I’m more scared of a white tail deer hiding in the shadows of these spaced out suburban homes and attacking me lmao. Or any other nocturnal wildlife that might see me as a threat at twilight. I’ll figure something out, anywhoo, for the stats/updates:

Start date of new workout/diet plan: 7/30

Workout plan/diet plan: Intermittent fasting (12-8pm and 10-6pm, might be revising); Workout 5-6 times a week either running or at-home workouts); eat consciously but not restrictive

Hw: 193lbs Sw (7/30): 171lbs Cw: 162lbs Gw1: 155lbs Gw2: 145lbs (depending)

I lost 9 lbs in a month, with consistent working out and portion control and I’m so happy and proud! It’s not that impressive but I’m pretty proud of 31lbs down even if it’s been in 8 months time. Shit happens, life happens and I’d rather go about this slow and steady then fast and obsessive. When it comes to my ultimate goal weight I’m not quite certain just because I’m really just trying to gauge this by how I feel, look, etc. My goal isn’t necessarily to be super thin, however I do want to be able to consider myself as fit and feel good and healthy in my body. I think I’m going to start document measurements soon (?), it might give me a better read on progress instead of just focusing on the numbers on the scale lol but idk we’ll see :)

Running has been the only thing tethering me to the ground. I didn’t realize how much this move would effect my mental health, both in good and a little bad. I’m so happy that I’m a thousand plus miles away from my old day to day but damn do I miss my friends and support system. I am forging my own path here though. And I will continue to, and I won’t stop until I do what I need to here. I ran a little over 5.5 miles today but my pace was still around 14 so I felt great :) Weighed in at 163lbs today. My dad wants to compete with me for weight loss(???) When he initially proposed to me about it he was 163 and wanted to hit 160 and I was 168 wanting to get to 160...But also like what?? I’m like 40+ years younger than you, why are you trying to compete with me, you’re taller, a man and closer to the goal than I am. It’s so weird and I know there’s probably going to be a problem once I get down to 159  ૮₍ >﹏< ₎ა

So just for context, I moved from Maryland to Texas this past July 30th. That being said, though I’ve been aware of how hurricanes effect the coastal and southern states, I have never truly experienced it before. Thankfully, I am fine and my city has only seen a couple inches of rain fall, but I completely forgot to take into account that sometimes rainfall will most likely affect my running routine during hurricane season :( Don’t get me wrong, running in the rain in 80 degrees weather sounds lovely besides the fact that it’s at twilight, idk the streets that well, and some roads are prone to flooding. SO, the past two days I have been carrying on my workout routine inside. On the plus side, I’ve made it to 164lbs  (๑>ᴗ<๑) If I can get down to 163lbs by the 31st (inna week) I will have officially lost 8 pounds in a month. To some that might seem slow but I’m really only trying to lose 1-2 pounds a week. The way I’m going I hope to hit my 2nd gw by Halloween :) We’ll see I guess. By then I should be working and in school so we’ll see if I keep my momentum.

I've been back on the wagon for a week now! I just want daily motivation.

This is a little earlier than I normally post but I figured I’d just bang it out now since it’ll virtually be the same perspective now as it will be later. Today was kind of a lame day for me when it came to running. I got out by 6 which was fine besides the fact that nausea enabled me from running more than walking. I still completed the full 5 miles and some change but it was damn near 8 when I finished ( ◞‸◟) . Well at least I’m back at my starting point of 165lbs today so now its just pushing through that and working myself down to 160 ꒰ ◌ ᵕ  𖥦  ᵕ ◌ ꒱

Got back in the saddle with running this morning. I ran the day after my birthday but took a break again on Saturday after realizing I only took one rest day instead of two in a weeks time. I believe I’m going to slightly extend my run by a street or two and try to get out maybe a tad earlier...I might even just do one day of rest unless my body tells me otherwise. That’s kinda why I took a break yesterday cause I was just way too tired to get up in time. 

       I weighed in at 167lbs today and I’m just praying that maybe after today and a couple more days of sticking to my run and sleep schedule that I might be able to get back on track. Being so painfully close to where I was pre-pandemic and yet not being quite there is so frustrating. Back then my steady weight was around 155-160lbs. 

      Honestly, some times I fear that I’ll never reach my weight loss goals or see results. During 2020-2021 I didn’t even notice my 38lb weight gain until I saw myself in pictures and didn’t even recognized me. I guess in a way I am trying to find the me I knew 3 years ago...
