I am stoked with the drastic results in my thighs due to lifting hand weights at home, doing the bridge pose, using proper form with ab work and hydrants. Learning to slowly increase protein has also made a huge difference. Mini goal is to see more of my cheekbones and my jeans fit a smidge loose.

1. I am actively working towards understanding macros a smidge more than I do now. ( Confused beginner with a heavy veggie lifestyle. ) 2. Continue to tweak choices for going dairy free. 3. See more of my cheekbones and cleft chin. WHOOP!

I have returned to MFP after a hellish last year: Death of my mom, two acquaintances, my ex-husband and my boyfriend of 14 years. I am taking my time and meeting myself where I am. So far that means 1x12 wall push-ups, logging my food and not drinking sugary water enhancers. Purchased a ticket to see P!nk in Indianapolis…

Step Off

Thinking... This holiday is going to be a *kitten*.. More so every January 2.

Going to bed wicked early will be my win today.

Creamy peanut butter and strawberry jam sammich.

Ordering a Thai veggie and tofu take out and not caring about calories for the night.

Thinking... How grateful I am to have listened to my intuition on Monday. Decided not to go for an hour walk at 4AM. By 415, Mom fell in the bathroom and hit her head on the metal door track on the bathtub. Had I not respected my intuition, she would have been on the bathroom floor bleeding profusely. Grateful to live near…

I, too, have similar issues with sleep. An hour of gentle yoga before bed helped. Lately, I have begun taking magnesium an hour before bed. Kicks me in the butt. Hope sleep finds you soon.

I leaned more toward the pescatarian lifestyle with tons of veggies and fruit. Now that Im back home and taking care of my mom, it had been a challenge. No more. I feel my overall health is just as important as hers.

[ @GymGoddessGoals Thank you for your input. Much appreciated.

Tho my mom verbally stumbled a few times and she became frustrated, she had a coherent day. I am grateful for that.

I have been looking at Origins for a few weeks. First Aid Beauty is now drying out my face. How long have you been using Origins?

This will be the first 4 pack Ive bought. Reviews have been stellar and I love the fact with every pair you buy, they donate a pair. :)

Navy and white tie dye tank top for spring. Socks from Bombas for mom.

Twas looking forward to walking early this morning. Darn you heavy downpours and possible flooding.

Someone saw a picture of me in 2018, when I was at my healthiest and happiest. The comment was: "I can see how defined your cheekbones are. Youre not sick are you and havent told me?" (Umm... You met me when I was 20-30 pounds heavier. Duh.) They meant well.

Thank you, tmantwo! :)

High impact aerobics workout that I have not done in years while carrying an extra 44 pounds. What the heck was I thinking... *smh*

Contemplating a very hot bubble bath.

I lost my patience with mom after telling her a few times and in different ways: Yes you DO have checks that need to be deposited. Yes this IS YOUR MONEY, it's not mine. No you DONT owe money. After going to the bank, I put myself in timeout and am listening to music. Mom is watching tv in her room.

Hey you... Yes you... Your insecurities are showing. Dont try to gaslight me. It wont work any more. I am learning how you have manipulated me in our relationship. No more.

Former NN back in the day. Almost a hop skip and a jump to Langley. Welcome back to MFP.

Final countdown
