My summer shirts and shorts still fit---if not a little big. This quaranEATING hasn't hurt me yet! LOL! Actually, it has been easier to watch my carbs and calories and not overeat because of work stresses.

My eyesight is getting so much better...I haven't needed to put my glasses on to read or see clearly in sometime! When I do put my glasses on, my natural eye-sight is so much better/easier on my eyes than my glasses!!!!

Homeschooling from the kitchen table without snacking!

After spending the first week of stay at home orders back in March self-medicating with wine, I opted not to drink alcohol for the remainder of quarantine, lest I come out of this pandemic situation with another problem. Haha Grateful to be alcohol free since mid March.

Nice! I found myself turning to alcohol a little too much, too. I've only been alcohol-free for eight days, but I'm gonna stick it out until the end of quarantine, as well, maybe longer.

I walked 20,000 steps yesterday. Admittedly I can hardly move today but I got through day 2 of couchto5k so proud of that!

Yesterday we had pizza for dinner. I ate my three pieces, and there was some left.

I wanted to eat it. I hate leftovers. I love pizza. I was still slightly hungry. It wouldn't have been the end of the world.

But I thought about how full I would be, and how uncomfortable and gross overeating makes me feel, and how my brain is laughably bad at estimating how much food its actually looking at.

So I put it in the fridge.

I didn't binge last night on my biggest trigger food.

I win this round BED.

I’m on day 4 of a radically new way of eating for me. Lots of fruit and veggies. And I’ve stuck with it! Also I tried jogging twice this week and felt great afterwards. It’s a big change and I feel really happy about it!

Today I went for a long walk outside and first time ever average pace was over 4 mph....actually 4.1 mph 😉 Last year when I was barely a month into my journey, my average speed was lucky to be at 3 mph with several breaks along the way. The human body is incredible when you treat it right.

Did my first run of the year on 4/1, 3 m at 9:14 min/mile, stopping to gasp at the halfway point for a few minutes, and once or twice in the last mile. Progressively got a bit faster, fewer stops, so I thought to myself this weekend that I could probably run 4m if I slowed down a bit. Well, I did—twice. First run was 8:47 min miles, 2nd was 8:43 min miles, no stops at all! Hips are protesting a bit, so I’ll give running a rest for a few days, but it felt good to overcome that mental and physical hurdle.

When I started doing yoga 6 weeks ago, I couldn't do triangle pose because I was so inflexible. Now I can do it and it feels amazing to have gained so much range of motion.

I broke up with an emotionally toxic boyfriend in October. I love him. I still do. I also was miserable for the year we were together. He reached out to me out of the blue two days ago after 7 months of silence. Mind you, I know he's tried to ask girls out between break up and now, and I know he's also been denied every time (he works with a few of my closest friends). So.. his birthday is coming up, I'm sure he's feeling lonely. My NSV is that he asked if I liked my new job, I responded "yes". He asked if I worked nights... i responded with "You lost the right to know my schedule"... and haven't heard another peep from him since. It felt SO good because I broke the habit of always going back, no matter how awful it is, because in my mind being alone was worse. NOT ANYMORE. I broke that habit, I feel good, I've lost 64 lbs and there is no looking back. Losing weight and exercising helped me realized I am worth more and I deserve more. I kinda wish I worked it so we had met up... so I can get an apology for how he treated me, but I realized months ago that apology would never come.. so I went the route I did with the he lost the right to know anything about me. Woot!

Well done that's never easy to do. I've seen too many people struggle with same decision as a nurse.

This is kind of a scale victory but I had an appointment with a doctor that I haven't seen in about 4 years and she looked at my chart and said "wow! you've lost a LOT of weight!" I've gained about 3 pounds recently so it was nice to have that affirmation from her that even though I'm up 3 lbs right now i'm down a LOT from 4 years ago.

Wore a pair of size 8 shorts tonight. I don't care right now that it's vanity sizing.... the 10s and 12s I've been wearing are vanity sized too and these are smaller!

It's all about that trend downward!

Made tacos, cheese dip, and chips for dinner. Ate salmon patty, black bean, tomato, and avocado salad. Did not eat any chips, guacamole, or cheese dip. I’ve been noticing chips at dinner = chocolate later, in inappropriate amounts. Not tonight, my sweet and salty little friends.

Well, well done!! I find it the most difficult thing in the world, to break out of a cycle like this. I admire you for putting a stop to it, it was not an easy thing to do!

I'm a big guy, and have recently been getting in some running amidst all of the walking I've been doing. Managed to run 1.25 miles today without stopping in the middle of my 6 mile walk. That's easily the farthest I've run since doing a turkey trot 5-miler in 2015. Getting back into running has been amazing during all of this covid isolation!
