I actually did this yesterday, but this marks 100 lbs gone. I can't believe it, still doesn't feel real. And on a side note, I'm heading out to the parade for the STL Blues this morning and I'm sporting my blue SMALL tshirt! Never thought that was a reality either.
Keep working hard, this is 3 years in the making for me, but I am almost there! It takes time, but we CAN do it!
So proud of you. Awesomeness 👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😍😍 YES WE CAN!0 -

Comments: Finally eating sort of regular and tracking again. Need to increase my water intake and get back on my step goal. My trainer is back from vacay so my rest is over. I needed the rest, not use to allergy season here and it is taking its toll on me. Thinking this may be a summer cold plus allergies, whatever it is it sucks big time!!!
Feel better but glad you're back on your eating plan.1 -

I'm excited that the scale has finally started going downward again. I had been a little stuck for about 2 - 3 weeks.
One thing I have noticed with myself is that I have gotten away from eating fresh fruits and vegetables. I might go to the fresh market in the morning to see if I can get some goodies. Eventually I want to reduce the processed food I eat, but I like protein bars too much to ever give them up (and the veggie tots too). This is all a work in progress.
AWESOME I know it's difficult when the scale doesn't move. Veggies and fruits are important as well but I'm sure you can find a way to be creative with your recipes. YOU GOT THIS KEEP IT UP & STAY POSITIVE THROUGHOUT YOUR JOURNEY1 -

✅Track: Yes
✅Calories: Under
✅Exercise: Walking for just under an hour again and 15 mins on exercise bike
💬Comments: I’ve been making an effort to do more walking recently, even if it’s as little as 30 minutes. Sometimes my anxiety would get the better of me and I’d be unable to get out but I’ve kinda been “forcing” myself to get out and walk more. The fresh air has been doing me a lot of good, plus it counts as exercise so it’s a win-win 🙂3 -

I did go to the farmers market today and got some local fresh fruit and veggies. I bought a watermelon and it was soooooooo good. It does have a lot of natural sugar but I don't get them often. I was hoping to find globe grapes but couldn't find any. I also bought some squash and zucchini and fixed that for dinner.

@CindyJNC1963 zucchini and squash are a fav! Sautéed in butter with just salt and pep little garlic powder and a little parmesan or Romano cheese to finish it. Yum! Make a bunch! I use it in omelets and on salads as a topping to add some flavor and maybe skip the dressing! Good choice!

I love how they say there's a link between sugary drinks and increased risk of death, they leave out the part from heart disease, probably because of all the years that the American Heart Association said to eat more carb (grains) (aka sugar) which does NOT improve heart health. I also love how they're also saying sugary drinks, it's sugar in general...but sugary drinks do tend to be worse because you drink them quicker and don't get full signals like you might if you ate sugar instead, although that's also another issue since sugar is so addicting, you may eat just as much of it anyway...I'll stop ranting...
Here's the Harvard study info if anyone's interested.
https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/the-sweet-danger-of-sugar
Sorry, didn't mean to cause a stir. The medical community hasn't always been perfect, but there are some great doctors and she is one of them.
So to clarify, I'm not bothered by her, she's absolutely right! And good for her to share the information!
What really bothers me medical community in general, and I guess that's partially correct, the food industry and medical community. It really bothers me that they can't just admit that they were wrong and start telling people the right things, they're just starting to stop mentioning grains in their recommendations now instead of telling people WHAT to eat! Like you think that we'd actually want to start reversing the current health crisis and get the information out, but nope, we're just going to tell people things slowly like, drink less soda, etc. I think 10 years from now we will see things like don't eat processed foods and such, which is basically diets like a ketogenic diet or whole 30 or paleo, etc....but we shall see. (and well you can eat processed crap on those if you try hard enough but the idea behind those diets is to limit processed foods)
And nope, that was good information and the Doctor is right! No reason to be sorry!
Thanks for the clarification.
I can understand why this type of information is released slowly though. If you tell people they can't have soft drinks, bread, pasta, frozen dinners, cheese, cereal, etc. then a lot of people would say "forget it" to all of it.
I'm really a big believer in a balanced diet of lean protein, carbs, fat, and fiber. That's just my personal belief and its what I follow. I know I eat too much processed food. I don't eat nearly as much as I did before but its still a weakness. That's one of my future goals.
@CindyJNC1963 I always say there's more than one way to have a healthy diet, and balance is great for a lot of people, having a balanced approach to protein, carbs and healthy fat is a great way to go, just didn't work for me and one of the reasons I advocate for finding what works for your body and you're doing an AMAZING job with your approach. It works for you and that's what matters! You are fueling your body properly and it's rewarding you with weight loss and improved mobility, which is really what is important. Great job for finding what you need to do for you. I chose a different path for myself because I tried that way, for a long time and wasn't seeing results, probably like 6 months or so before I finally decided to take the plunge and head down the keto path, which has really worked for me and really continues to work for me, and that is while I'll likely continue even after I've reached my goals.
So the bottom line is we all need to find what works for us as we are all bio-individual and that's just the way it is.1 -

Yep, that's why I said it's my personal belief. I just personally would be afraid of the long term effects of giving up healthy foods like fruits and veggies permanently. Again I'm not saying this is how everyone should feel. Heaven knows I have a LOT to work on with myself.... so far be it from me to be critical of anyone else (though I know I sound like it sometimes).
You have done an amazing job yourself!!! Losing 100 lbs is incredible and those weightlifting videos are awesome!!!0 -
