Oh snap! Hit 10,000 steps before 7am. That's never happened. I'm up a little past my bedtime but hitting that goal this early was so worth it. Paced at my console at work, stayed after work and used the treadmill there and ended with walking laps in my backyard til I finally hit that magic number. If any of my neighbors were peeping out their windows they would have probably been a little confused or a little concerned, lol. Weird girl walking. 🤷‍♀️ . . . . #weightlossjourney2019 #weightloss2019 #weightlosssupport #weightlossjourney #weightlossdiary #weightlossgoals #weightloss #weightlosscommunity #naturalweightloss #breakingthruthewall #10000steps #31daystilnola #thirdshift #fitbitversa #fitbit #intermittentfasting #alternatedayfasting #goals https://www.instagram.com/p/B18nVUnAPbU/?igshid=1g12j60hi5vek

I don't even know what to say. I fell off the wagon & completely undid all my progress. I was so excited then watched it slowly slip away. I stopped posting because I was embarrassed. I could blame it on stress or summer indulgences but it doesn't really matter. The reality is I fucked up. Big. The reality is, I'm also going to try again. Long term for my health of course but short term, I have to get on a plane in 40 days and I need to do everything I can to lose some weight before that trip. I can live with asking for a seatbelt extender. I don't know if I could survive the embarrassment that would come from not fitting in a seat. So here we go again. Down 15 pounds from the regain. New progress pics taken. The reboot has begun. . . . . #weightlossjourney2019 #weightlosssupport #weightlossjourney #weightlossdiary #weightloss #weightlosscommunity #intermittentfasting #myfitnesspal #mfp #fitbitversa #fitbit #naturalweightloss #onepoundatatime #reboot #notgivingup #40daystilnola #findingmotivationagain https://www.instagram.com/p/B1kZB2YAH01/?igshid=6x4i7p7c5j8l

Been MIA for a month but now I'm back with my first ever side by side comparison! I'm down 35.5 lbs between the two photos so lost that in just over 4 months. I didn't have the most productive April, hence being away from Instagram but I didn't gain any during that time either so still calling it a win. Weightloss is hard in that it's just not that noticeable sometimes, at least when it comes to yourself. I know my pants are a little loser and I have to pull my bras little tighter but I just can't see it in the mirror. I can finally see it in these photos. Shorts aren't quite as tight on my thighs and there is a smidge less on my side's. It's not much but it's something. . . . . #weightlossjourney2019 #weightlosssupport #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #weightlossdiary #weightloss #weightlosscommunity #fitbitversa #fitbitversa #transformation #transformations #sidebyside #thatssomething #myfitnesspal #saturdayweighin #motivation #naturalweightloss #progress #slowandsteady #smallvictories https://www.instagram.com/p/BxWRKGJAElA/?igshid=17u9nfs7xodrl

Had a bad weigh in last week and instead of just taking it on the chin and moving on I allowed myself to turn it into not just a bad day but bad whole week. I knew I shouldn't do it but I did it anyway and just ate what I wanted for eight days . While delicious, it didn't make me feel any better. As unimpressed with myself as I am right now I'm also feeling kind of good. I feel ready to get back on track. I feel ready to see how I can change my body. I feel ready ready to not give up this time. I've never stuck to any lifestyle change this long and I'm not ready to give up. And that's something to hold onto right now. . . . . #weightlossjourney2019 #weightlosssupport #weightlossdiary #weightlossjourney #weightloss #weightlosscommunity #gettingbackontrack #thatssomething #notdoneyet #mycatwouldbeproudofme https://www.instagram.com/p/BwRAV6zgvj_/?igshid=a5262ez82wax

Finally got to go out and have some fun with friends at the Tiger's home opener yesterday. I new I was going to have a good time but was really nervous about fitting into the seats. I hadn't been down to the stadium in so long and even though I've lost some weight recently, I just didn't know if it was enough in the hips area. Ultimately, we spent the majority of the game drinking and walking around the stadium but at the end of the game we did make our way down to some random empty seats. I initially just sat at the edge of the seat but then slowly slid back. Moment of truth...I fit!!! Would have still probably felt uncomfortable if a stranger was sitting next to me but I fucking fit. Ain't that something? . . . . #weightlossjourney2019 #weightlosssupport #weightlosstransformation #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #weightlossdiary #weightloss #weightlosscommunity #naturalweightloss #nonscalevictory #nsv #tigers #dayoff #thatssomething #progress #smallvictories https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv5yDEzAXpf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xuldzh4t7x

I try and only weigh myself once a week on my Saturday weigh in but for some reason, I just kept obsessively weighing myself almost every day this past week. I was getting so frustrated because the scale was NOT moving. Then today, weigh in day, I stepped on the scale and I was down 2.4 pounds! Consistency paid off. And lesson learned, I need to stay off the scale daily. It's just not good for me. Bonus, when I updated my weight in My Fitness Pal, I got this little notice. It made me really happy. What I'm doing is working. Slowly, but it's working. Now, the goal I'm working towards isn't my final goal, not anywhere near it but it's my first big goal. Just over halfway there and that's something. . . . . #weightlossjourney2019 #weightlosssupport #weightlossjourney #weightlossdiary #weightloss #naturalweightloss ##fitbitversa #fitbit #myfitnesspal #mfp #thatssomething #onepoundatatime #slowandsteady #instafit #weightlosscommunity #progress #goals #weightlossgoals https://www.instagram.com/p/BvpkPE1A3aP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c7rlpix0jk0w

Holy meal prep, batman. Okay, I'm clear it's nothing fancy but I work 12 hour days, sometimes more and can go weeks without a day off so finding time today before work to weigh out & store individual chicken containers for the next week's dinners is huge for me. My workaholic lifestyle doesn't leave a lot of free time so I used to just go with fast, easy, and usually unhealthy food. I still have a long way to go and A LOT to learn but those six containers of chicken are definitely progress in my lifestyle change and that's something I'm proud of. . . . . #mealprep #instapot #weightloss #mfp #myfitnesspal #weightlossjourney2019 #weightlosssupport #weightlossjourney #weightlossdiary #naturalweightloss #thatssomething #intermittentfasting #proudofmyself #progress #easymealprep https://www.instagram.com/p/BvaVhmGAw1D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17tjschgii4r1

Today was a happy weigh in day. I didn't know what to expect after the over indulgence of St. Patrick's Day. So much alcohol and so much fried bar food and I didn't feel guilty about any of it. Ultimately my consistency the rest of the week paid off. A 4.2 pound weightloss!! It is never that high so it has me feeling pumped. And a bonus NSV was I could finally button these shorts. Sure, it was tight and my muffin top is still alive and well but it's progress and that's something. 💪 . . #weightlossjourney2019 #weightloss #weightlosssupport #weightlossjourney #weightlossdiary #thatssomething #intermittentfasting #fitbit #fitbitversa #mfp #myfitnesspal #naturalweightloss #onepoundatatime #progress #nonscalevictory #proudofmyself https://www.instagram.com/p/BvYbIfgg1So/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5c8ct587uk2v

A little peak into my lunch bag at work. Well, lunch, dinner and snack bag. Working third shift, 12 hour days and ridiculous amounts of overtime doesn't leave much time to cook so I eat breakfast at home then lots of raw veggies and fruits get packed the days I work. It's not always easy and gets boring sometimes but I know it's better for me and I know I FEEL so much better when I eat food like this as opposed to binging on pizza. Even knowing that, I still crave the damn pizza. Saturday's weigh in went well. Lost the weight I had gained during my vacation and was down a pound from my pre vacation weight. It's helped me learn to not throw in the towel after a bad day or a bad week. Can always start again and that's something. . . #weightlossjourney2019 #weightloss #weightlosssupport #weightlossjourney #weightlossdiary #mfp #intermittentfasting #caloriecounting #naturalweightloss #thatssomething #fitbitversa #fitbit #slowandsteady https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu47zqag4mM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zg6ys002v0ag

I had a really great week. It was also the worst week. Went to Disney World with a friend and confirmed it really is the happiest place on earth. Or at least one of them. Had some anxiety about going, though. Would my jankety knees hold up? Would I be able to walk that much? Would I be able to fit on the rides? Yes, mostly and yes. Got a cortisone injection before leaving and the knees held up great. I didn't get tired from all the walking but my feet were definitely hurting as the days went on. And while I certainly was nervous every time I was in line for a ride, I found Disney rides to be very friendly to people of size or "pooh" sized people as they call it. It was the worst week food wise. I stopped intermittent fasting. I stopped tracking my food. I showed zero self control. Buffets and desserts and ridiculous portion sizes of my beloved mac n cheese. I could recognize what I was doing was not going to help me in my journey but I couldn't stop myself. I just wanted to enjoy my vacation guilt free. Of course I feel the guilt now after the fact. Now it's time to get back on the wagon. I did gain some weight back but I learned a lot too. I'm still able to physically do more things than I thought I could do and I need to build off that. Still need to work on self control with "bad" foods. I don't want to worry about fitting into seats anymore and that alone is worth forging on. So I'm just going to finish my chicken & broccoli dinner and go over my goals again and that's something. . #weightlossjourney2019 #weightloss #weightlosssupport #weightlossdiary #weightlossjourney #fitbitversa #fitbit #naturalweightloss #disneyworld #daisyhasstyle #bestweek #worstweek #thatssomething https://www.instagram.com/p/BuhyVVzACHZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hyph4d3wkfmy

Successful weigh in yesterday. I needed the scale to move in a positive direction to help with my motivation this week. I've lost 21.6 pounds since I feel like I officially started this journey on January 4th. Even more if I were to go back to my highest weight last spring. I'm not seeing any changes in the mirror yet and that's hard but I'm going to keep taking smiling progress pics in hopes that someday this will become one of my before pics. The scale moved when I was struggling and that's something. . #weightloss #weightlossjourney2019 #weightlosssupport #weightlossdiary #weightlossdiary #weightlossjourney #mfp #intermittentfasting #thatssomething #fitbitversa #fitbit #naturalweightloss https://www.instagram.com/p/BuATpLWgub2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c0rz0iwn389t

Decided to join the land of fitbit and smart watches. The fact that it was on sale helped. I work 12 hour days almost every day at a sedintary job so think the reality of how few steps I walk in a day may be upsetting. But hopefully with that will come motivation to try and find ways to fit more in and that's something. Or I just wasted 169 dollars. 😒 . . #weightloss #weightlosssupport #weightlossdiary #weightlossjourney #weightlossjourney2019 #mfp #fitbitversa #fitbit #thatssomething #naturalweightloss #intermittentfasting https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt8RAWoAMwv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16dbpdlx58fx1

I have no idea what I'm doing. But I'm doing something which is more than I was doing before so I guess that's something. Decided to start with an unflattering picture in a dirty mirror. Shorts that don't fit, jankety knees taped up, and socks I didn't even pull up straight. I'm honestly not even sure I have enough discipline to stick to it but I've logged my food for the past 23 days and stuck to intermittent fasting for the past 23 days and that's something. . . . #weightlossjourney #weightloss #weightlosssupport #mfp #weightlossdiary #intermittentfasting #naturalweightloss #thatssomething https://www.instagram.com/p/BtNfBwTgnqL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=btxwwy2mpi3y
