@glassofroses If your BP is significantly different laying down and standing and you experience a lot of dizzy spells (is standing/walking for a long time difficult?) you might do well to look into POTS syndrome. My mom has it. Common doctors don’t usually know too much, but it is easier to diagnose nowadays than when she did.

Had quite the jump in weight this week, a lot of it had to do with my increase in workout volume for sure. Usually I would kind of freak out and scale back the eating, nope.. not this time, all I have to do is look in the mirror to know it is not fat hah. I am sick of taking it too slow in the beginning and wasting so much time barely gaining. I am going to give it another week and then adjust from there.

Happy Friday everyone!

We've [my GP and I] talked about it but I don't really have any other symptoms other than dizziness which isn't an every time thing but we've always said if it gets any worse we'll do a tilt table. Definitely appreciate the info though because we've never really discussed what any possible outcomes could be.

I must have been holding a lot of fluid retention from Saturday because I'm still steadily going down. It's cool though because I'm still hitting my macros I've set for myself even if I haven't been able to increase like I planned. I got another migraine twinge last night/this morning in the left eye (Wed was the right) and a bit of IBS pain so I'm a bit off my food/struggling. I had a chickpea curry last night and I was honestly done maybe halfway through it but my calories were way too low for the day so I had to plough my way through. It was really good though, so I didn't mind too much. It's days like that when you're eating pizza (training carbs!) and you just end up resenting bread like it murdered your mother.

October Goal 162

Good morning everyone! This weigh in is a big deal for me, and I don't even know if I fully accept it lol. It's still strange to me that I'm losing without doing massive amounts of working out. All summer I was in a gym on a machine at least 5 days a week. Since school has begun my routine has been so different. And I think it has made me extra aware of what I eat because I don't have time to hit the gym regularly and I don't want to lose my progress.

I have just been climbing 2-3x per week (2-3 hour sessions), walking to and from campus (4 days per week, approx .75 mile- 1 mile per day), and not over eating every day (probably averaging between 1300-1400 calories). <

---

I know this last part will need to change.

Over summer, my goal was 1800 calories per day, and I achieved steady loss. I reduced my goal to 1600 calories per day, and I know I have been coming in under that. I need to gradually up my calorie intake again, because my body has definitely adjusted to eating less and I know it's not long term sustainable.

I haven't had a pizza in lord knows how long haha. And theres ice cream in my house and I don't even crave it! HOW WEIRD is that?! I crave smoothies, and eggs, toast, fruit, fish tacos, ahi tuna bowls, and SLEEP. LOL its weird nowadays to be so incredibly busy that I don't even have time to think about binging. For me now food is literally fuel. It is an after thought unfortunately on some really busy days. The good thing about that though, is I really am only eating when I'm hungry and I am able to identify when that is better.

Anyways, I am always on the hunt for new recipes. I am still pescatarian (don't eat red meat or chicken). If any of you are veggies, or vegan or even pescatarian like me, or just happen to have some great recipes that don't involve chicken or red meat, please message me! I'm always looking for some new ideas. I need inspiration!

Morning all!!!

My last weigh in was Oct 21: 149.5lbs.

I have been as low as 148.5 to as high as 150.5 on my "daily" weigh ins. I am happy with how I look and how my clothes fit, but I would still like to be in the 140s. For 5'8.5 150lb and above just seems to be too much. I have not worked out like I should in the last 2 weeks. So this week I plan to get back into it and try to eat as clean as possible without starving myself.

@brianneangell08 oh my goodness! I'm so terribly sorry to hear that you were in an accident. My gosh, I know first hand how traumatic that can be. I'm glad that it was not any worse. Please take it easy on yourself, and continue to check in and keep us posted on how you are doing. Sending lots of love and positive prayers your way.

I feel like I haven't been here in ages. And I missed it! Life has gotten so busy lately that checking the group got lowered down on my priority list.

I have been logging, but not very tightly. I haven't gained though, so I consider that a win. I've made a better attempt at logging properly these last 2 weeks, so hopefully I can keep that up.

I really wanted to start working out 3 times a week, but right now it's not something I can give my attention to. I think I will bring my workout gear to work and on days when the opportunity arises, go hit the gym, but I'm not going to try to hold myself to a schedule because it won't be successful right now.

Congratulations @2tall4thisworld !! You've had a such a great month! It goes to show that sometimes when you change your perspective on things, it helps the process move along. Keep up the great work!

@brianneangell08 - I'm sorry to hear about your accident. Take things easy on your body, it needs time to recover and it's so important not to overlook that. I hope you feel better and get your car issues sorted out soon.

I'm just headed out the door to work, so I can't post anymore personal messages, but good luck ladies! Keep doing what your doing!! I'll try to post more frequently again.
