#weight loss mindset

3/2/24

So after Thursday night muffin & cinnamon roll binge, I actually weighed like 204. Still need a new battery in the scale.

I feel like I am self sabotaging.

I have gotten to a point where people are noticing. Like, really really noticing and I think it makes me nervous.

But also, it makes me like...feel like I deserve to eat more.

But I am not normal person sized yet so I want to refocus and get my head back in the game.

The 'time' I thought I would have this winter never materialized. I had all these projects to do and never did acquire the energy to do them.

I am traveling this weekend and trying to do better.

Brought groceries from home. Seriously tho, I have been doing so good except when I do the CBD. So I need to cut that shit out. Or be prepared with a charcuterie board, veggie tray. Idk. It makes me feel amazing but I eat all the things.

So remember girlie:

Water water water

Coffee is your BFF

Tea is also fabulous

Veggies

Cucumbers are the most delicious

Salads

Bring your own food

No, you don't need a meal out

Yes to sf jello. 🙌

Ew, you don't like that. All that cheese and grease makes you stomachache.

Mindset/meditations

Count your chews? [Mom read this one]

Glucomannon, fiber.

All the extras are running you broke. So much cheaper to go to Sam's and get a pack of celery and a pack of cucumber

Even the chopped salad are a cheaper option.

Some recent pics- but none of the muffin binge. I am willing it out of existence.

fall is here. It's time to lock in. weight loss edition.

intro:

after taking a miniature break I have finally decided to track my weight loss journey here, to keep me motivated and to track my progress.

there are approximately 3 months left in the year (without september) and in that time I want to focus on my weight loss and lock in. I will take a break from creating notion templates and focus on skills and hobbies.

why 3 months? simply because that's what's left in this year and also because most people start seeing results after 3 months.

details:

so I started this challenge last week and here are a few things I've achieved last week. I worked out for the whole week. I hit 10k steps daily from tuesday didn't do so well on monday. I also completed my daily workout cycle for the most part.

✿ my main goal is losing weight really just reaching my weight goal which is 42kg - p.s I'm short

✿ I will try my best to update daily and I also have a physical journal that I will update every night before bed

here are my current stats

𝑮𝒐𝒂𝒍𝒔

( 🍨 ) 63𝒌𝒈 Current weight: 59.1kg

( ) 57𝒌𝒈

( ) 52𝒌𝒈

( ) 49𝒌𝒈

( ) 46𝒌𝒈

( ) 42𝒌𝒈 gw

( ) 40𝒌𝒈 ugw

i do think the stakes are not in my favour and I might not reach my goal at the end of the year but at least I can try.

so I will be uploading my workouts weekly, at the beginning of every week as to keep myself motivated to do them and for as many that would like to go on this journey with me. at the end of those 3 months, I will update this blog post.

✿ This is the habits i want to achieve each day also I plan to have a set eating time between 12pm and 8pm everyday. i will write about what I eat I'm also not going to be really dieting or cutting out foods just minimizing my portions

habit tracking:

maintain calorie deficit of 1200 hit 10k steps 7+ hrs of sleep 2l of water 30mins+ of movement journal progress movement cycle [3/3] eat between 12 pm and 8 pm

✿ : my days will mainly be filled up with reading (adrinette fics), language learning, crocheting, organizing, blogging, Bible study, watching(might continue Gilmore Girls) and more

decided to add workouts to my daily updates instead

i will start updating tomorrow

Achieving Your Weight Loss Goals: Tips and Tricks for Success

Losing weight can be a challenging journey, but the rewards of a healthier, happier you are worth the effort. If you’re looking to achieve your weight loss goals, this blog post is here to help. We’ve compiled a list of tips and tricks based on proven strategies that can help you reach your target weight and maintain success over the long term. From making small, gradual changes to your diet and exercise routine, to find a supportive community and learning stress management techniques, these tips will help you navigate the ups and downs of weight loss with confidence. Whether you’re just starting out or need a boost to get back on track, this blog post is the ultimate resource for achieving your weight loss goals. So, Here are the 10 proven tips for weight loss that can help you reach your goals and maintain a healthy weight for life.

1. Eat a balanced diet

Eating a balanced diet is crucial for weight loss. Focus on incorporating a variety of whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, into your meals. Avoid processed foods and added sugars, which can contribute to weight gain.

2. Keep track of calories

Keeping track of your calorie intake can help you stay on track with your weight loss goals. Use a food diary or a smartphone app to log what you eat and drink each day. This can help you monitor your portions and make healthier food choices.

3. Drink plenty of water

Drinking enough water is important for overall health, and it can also aid in weight loss. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water a day and avoid sugary drinks, such as soda and fruit juice, which can be high in calories.

4. Get enough sleep

Getting enough sleep is important for both physical and mental health. Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep per night and establish a consistent sleep schedule. Lack of sleep can lead to increased hunger and cravings, making it harder to stick to your weight loss goals.

5. Incorporate exercise into your routine

Incorporating physical activity into your daily routine is important for weight loss. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, most days of the week. Mix up your routine with strength training, yoga, and other forms of exercise to keep your body challenged and prevent boredom.

6. Reduce stress

Stress can lead to overeating and weight gain. Finding healthy ways to manage stress, such as meditation, deep breathing, and exercise, can help you stay on track with your weight loss goals.

7. Avoid late-night eating

Eating late at night can contribute to weight gain. Try to avoid eating a large meal within three hours of bedtime and opt for a light, healthy snack, such as a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts, instead.

8. Avoid temptations

It’s important to avoid temptations, such as unhealthy snacks and junk food, that can sabotage your weight loss efforts. Keep healthy snacks, such as fruits and vegetables, on hand and plan ahead for meals to avoid reaching for unhealthy options.

9. Stay positive

Staying positive and having a growth mindset can help you stay motivated and reach your weight loss goals. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family and focus on your progress, not just the number on the scale.

10. Seek support

Seeking support from a healthcare professional, a registered dietitian, or a support group can help you stay on track with your weight loss goals. Having a support system can provide accountability and encouragement as you work towards your goals.

By following these 10 proven tips for weight loss, you can reach your goals and maintain a healthy weight for life. Remember, weight loss is a journey, and it’s important to be patient and persistent. Stay focused on your goals and celebrate your progress along the way.

How can I loose weight?

I got you.

💗weightloss, diets and healthy habits💗

1. healthy habits

before we start, you want longterm process. So form habits. Become disciplined.

No crash-diet means no jojo-effect. No crash-diet means actual progress that doesnt go to waste.

2. diet

No matter how much you move, if your diet is not sitting right, you wont slim down. Over time you have to include healthy and nutritious options into your diet.

~small bowl of veggies, before breakfast

(such as cucumber, bell pepper, carotts, tomatos. That way your bloodsugar levels wont come crushing down midday)

~breakfast should include something that keeps you full. Dont skip it. People who eat breakfast tend to loose more weight and be slimmer.

(Porride, Eggs, Avocado, etc)

I usually include: Oatmeal, Chia sees, Berries and one Banana

~try not to snack, keep going for three meals a day

~eat whole foods, eat clean and make sure to dont neglect your protein-intake

(protein keeps us full and satisfied. Also, you want to loose fat, not muscle)

~cut out sodas and liquid calories!!!

such a waste. go for the light options with 0-2kcal. They taste the same, if not better.

Also, drink enough water.

3. workout

Normally, I work out every day in some way.

Cardio, strenght, pilates or just a walk outside.

Moving your body, keeping it toned and flexible, helps your mood, your health and your overall life.

On top, it burns calories.

Build some muscle and loose some fat. Thats how you get your dream body.

Here are my favorite channels, that I workout to daily:

MIZI (cardio mainly, full body workouts and burning calories)

Lidia Mera (pilates full body, toning and strenghtenig, legs, arms, abs)

Shirlyn Kim (specific parts, weightloss, strenghtening/toning,thigh gap)

Yuuka Sagawa (posture, arms and upper body)

Nina Dapper (arms, legs and abs)

4. Beauty Secrets

~ginger/curcuma shots

I tend to have ginger shots to boost my immune system and overall health. They are also very good for your skin and can give you a natural glow.

~probiotics

Your gut health is a game changer. You get less break outs and you can loose weight faster.

You can heal your gut through your diet and order some probiotics.

~castor oil

I live and breath castor oil.

Usually I apply it before bed on my lashes, hair and skin. It helps with hair growth, skin protection and hydration. Its also very good for debloating and detox, if you put it into your belly button.

~green tea

This magic tea can help you loose weigtt, reduce the risk of several diseases, such as diabetes or heart disease,

It reduces anxiety and lowers your cholesterol level.

Welcome To My 1 Year Goal In The Life Of Me!

It’s been a minute since I truly “tumbled”, but I think it’s time to start again. I want to use this platform once again to help motivate me with my weight loss.

I am not sure where to start with this entrance of me back into the weight loss world.

Back in the day (ugh, that makes me sound so old- but it really was 14 years ago) I was overweight and I lost almost 300lbs (which was 9 years ago) . Currently, I find myself back to where I used to be with all my weight gained back. I used to play it off to the fact that I found the love of my life and got married – and everyone gains weight when they get married. Well, its been 5 years of being married and I can’t play that card anymore.

I am tired of feeling heavy and that feeling of standing out from the others, but not in the good way. I am a very happy person, but I just need to be healthier. I will never hate myself for how much I weigh or how I look –I  just realistically know I need to work on my eating and movement.

I want to get back to being able to walk around without getting out of breath - #BIG-GOAL-HERE!

So, I have decided starting today, November 11, 2024, I am going to start a 1 Year Goal on working on my health and fitness.

365 days of posting the good and the not so good as I work on me again!

In the past I mostly stuck to weight watchers – and while it did work – I am not a fan of the direction weight watchers has taken in the past years. Their mindset of losing weight isn’t what it used to be about, and it throws my motivation off. So, for right now I am going to stick with my own personal plan of healthy intuitive eating.

Currently I don’t know how much I weigh – I just know it’s too much and my scale says #ERROR – meaning tooooo heavy. Yikes!

So, I welcome you to my 1 Year Goal and appreciate any feedback, all the positivity, and happiness along the way.

Some #’s I plan to use with my blog if you so wish to keep up are:

Glow up with me ! ❣˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚

brush your teeth & use a tongue scraper first thing in the morning

drink a full glass of water with a pinch of himalayan or sea salt and add a little bit of lemon. note: If you're gonna add lemon use a straw to avoid damaging your teeth

DIY milk face mask: cool trick to give your skin that instant glow. start off by simply pouring raw milk in an ice tray and allow it to freeze. take an ice cube, rub it on your skin for 3-4 minute. then gently massage your face, do this just before you sleep to wake up to a brighter and fresher face.

try hot & cold gel bead eye mask with collagen pearls:  soothe your eyes by heating up (better sleep, decongests sinuses, better blood flow to eye area) or cooling down (soothes tired, reduces dark circles and under-eye puffiness) increasing blood circulation.

use a gua sha and a face roller, it is essential to choose a high-quality, cold-pressed oil, preferably organic. I recommend to use argan or jojoba oil.

buy a water filter !! once the impurities are removed from your tap water it’s much easier for you to achieve clear and vitalized skin

Give a little massage at the end of the day, your body will be grateful! Improves blood circulation while relaxes your stress levels. (I'll be posting soon different kind of massage, trigger points and ways to give yourself a massage more easiliy w objects)

8/13/23 just kidding, I think my old anniversary was today.

Some notes on getting this done. Because it took literally 100 pounds for most people to notice my weight loss and suddenly people are asking me what I am doing.

The answer is: I am doing the same things I have been doing all along but continuing to tweak things every week.

This is about progression, and about learning sustainable habits that don't make you feel crazy. I have been exercising my entire life. The last 2 years I have been trying to focus on consistency, daily cardio (even if it is short), AND I added a class at work almost every day. Does that mean sometimes I do 2 or 3 workouts in a day? Yes. Is this disordered? No.

Here's why: I work a desk job and have for 20 years.

Simply put- sedentary lifestyle habits are hard to overcome. If you are sitting on your ass for 8-12 hours a day, you need more activity or you need to eat less. A lot less. Sometimes a combination.

I don't think we were meant to sit so much, but desk jobs are highly sought after. Normally they offer good hours and benefits.

But everyone I know who has one has suffered in the getting overweight and out of shape department. By middle age, we are chronically ill and mostly miserable.

I was in such ill health that I was swelling in my feet and legs daily and was so exhausted I couldn't move much.

I had to take lots of steps to change that. Small, incremental changes that built over time to build a sustainable life. I definitely have more capacity now than I ever have. Those first years were hard, working to change habits that I had built over a sedentary lifestyle. It took a long time. It might for you, just don't quit. Start from whereever you are today. Maybe by adding walks and go from there.

If you are young and haven't gotten to the chronic disease part yet, good. Start now and maybe by the time you get my age you won't be plagued by the chronic illness that many suffer from.

Obesity is just the beginning, really. You gain weight and then struggle to be active. Because getting up hurts. Moving hurts. Walking HURTS. So you sit on the couch and binge netflix instead of playing with your kids or dogs.

And the less you move, the worse it gets. But it is physics, really. Objects in motion stay in motion. Objects at rest stay at rest.

This has gotten really long, and I have so much more to say.

What did I have to change? Everything.

EVERYTHING.

I thought I was doing all the things that should make me successful before. But the fact is: I was not being consistent. I would go hard, then get injured, need to recoup and start over at square one.

I had to relearn an entire life's worth of DAILY habits. Food, exercise, shopping, sleep, going out-- all of those needs needed to be adjusted. Smoking and drinking- needed to be adjusted.

The things you do every day matter.

Every day. Every day. Every day.

Treat yourself the way you treat others ⋆˚｡⋆°.⋆

You know all that good advice you give to your friends? Or how understanding and caring you act towards the people online and all your tumblr mutuals, all that 3d or $h recovery advice and just life experience you give out to online strangers? It's about time that you actually listened to yourself for once. You know how good your recovery advice is, how meaningful and helpful it could be to so many people, yet you never truly listen to it. Helping other people is a really good thing, but it is just a start in your journey of self help and self love. All the answers lie within yourself and your mind, you just have to allow your brain to actually listen to them. Nobody will come and help you recover, you have to do it all by yourself, but I promise it will become easy if you only begin. Start your healing journey now, I promise you you got this!!

fall is here. It's time to lock in. weight loss edition. final update.

Out of all my posts on here, this has gotten the most attention, and I can tell it's probably because it touched on a really sensitive and very popular topic: weight loss. Unfortunately or fortunately, I didn't complete the challenge, mainly because I didn't have a strong enough mentality to complete the challenge. I also fell sick mentally and physically, and well, most of the habits were kind of unattainable, especially in my environment.

Well, here is everything I learnt from this challenge and how I'll be applying these lessons to my daily life.

calorie counting x eating 1200 cals every day

First off, I'd like to say calorie counting works short-term, not long-term, as after a while I started hyper-fixating on food, and that just led me to eat more because I was too hungry and led me to be ok with eating too much unhealthy food just because there were fewer calories, so I learned volume eating, eating intuitively, and eating at the right time. I'm going to start eating at the right time to not spike my glucose levels and to also choose the healthier option when I can. I understand it is ok to have a snack when I feel like it.

overexercising x movement cycle /3

I found that it was hard to keep up with stretching, working out, and working. Also, from now on, I'll at least try to do 2 out of the 3; maybe 1 day I'll work out and stretch another walk and workout, After some reflection, I want my movement to be versatile and different Maybe I'll try some sports and the likes.

generally

TBH, this challenge was a good experience, and I learnt a lot. Now I realize how much I want more of a wellness lifestyle and to feel good in my body, not just to lose weight; I also want to enjoy the journey and my life all in all. and the drinking water thing, I still don't know the benefits It's just a lot of pee, but I'll continue to do that. I actually like drinking the water.

PS The weight scale broke during this challenge, and I don't know my weight at the moment, but it actually helped, and I'm not obsessed with my weight as much. So yh tis all love you all.

Part of my journey is about self care. I've spent a long time hiding and neglecting myself, because I felt like I didn't deserve it.

"Why should I go to the salon and get a haircut when it doesn't change the fact that I'm ugly?" CATAGORICALLY untrue self narrative.

In the journey to love myself again, goals for 2025 include going to the salon and getting a haircut every 3-6 months (something I haven't done since high school) and monthly pedicures.

For me, "weight-loss" isn't just about the gym, and calorie counting. It's about falling in love with my body.

So here is the aftermath of the first haircut I've gotten in a real salon in fifteen years.
