It’s my birthday 🎉

Officially 32.

I’ve been overweight for nearly a year now. Where I’ve always been naturally thin (even almost underweight) without trying.

I had hoped to have hit a weight loss goal by now BUT I struggle so much with overeating. And a love of alcoholic beverages. 😔

But this is the wake up call I needed.

It's SUPER CREEPY that fast fashion is not only stealing designs (including Blogilates) but also now stealing people's identities with AI!!! 😬😬😬 Be careful not to buy counterfeit products!

But, I don't feel like Carrie Bradshaw? 

Things that I think 

How crazy it is that I am here

How i feel like i shouldn’t be feeling this way when I have it all 

When will I know what the plan is long term?

Am i meant to be in one place at all times?

Do I actually love my life?

Song: Evermore - Taylor Swift 

Weather - Sunny 10 Degrees 

Date - Early April 2024

Screaming coming from the window outside. It’s normal, like an everyday thing but while I no longer sleep at what would be considered normal it’s not welcomed by me. It’s the crazy thing about living down here, you never know if the screams are from a homeless person,sorry unhoused. Or if it’s coming from again, what people would consider a normal person. It’s very diverse, down here and sometimes the people you least expect who are causing the ruckus around the neighborhood. 

It’s finally a sunny day after a week long of rain and fog. Thing I have realized in the past 2 weeks, is that I am greatly affected emotionally by the weather (which is why I think I need to leave at all times), and also that I have no idea who I am. I wonder if the two are correlated. I wonder if I should stop smoking weed because my Mother would tell me it’s the drugs talking. 

I guess I was hoping that if I gave myself the time to slow down and actually breathe it would calm me down enough that I would see this is all a big misunderstanding and I am completely insane so therefore in other people’s eyes I am “normal”. Which, now thinking about it makes me wonder if that is what this is all about. Me and my adventure to try to be perceived as “normal”.

As I type into this laptop and I wonder how or why I am even feeling the need to journal my thoughts, I wanted to type I was excited, but that’s not the emotion. I am so numb that I do smile but only because I wonder what will be coming from my fingertips in the next little bit as I navigate this.  2 Things we need to clear up. 1. I do type what I think and I don’t look back. AKA you’re going to see mistyped words and grammar and I DON”T CARE. 2. I can promise you this will be real, and is real. I am real.

I finished the Blogilates POP Pilates for Beginners Calendar today! it's been a long time coming–I started this calendar the second week of January and was consistent for three weeks before I fell off. still, finishing this calendar was one of my yearly goals, and I'm so happy I completed it. honestly, it's really one of my lifelong goals; Blogilates was my entry into working out as a teenager, but I could never push myself to go past day four at the most.

the bad

I found some of the later videos to be too difficult and that was really discouraging for me personally!

the videos are dated. the culture surrounding health and bodies has changed over the past 10 years and I wouldn't recommend her videos if you are vulnerable to poor body image and self-esteem

the good

I liked how there was repetition of some of the same videos scattered throughout because you could feel your progress as you were able to complete more of the video without a break or it would hurt less

every sixth day had a stretching video and I love stretching so that felt very satisfying

Cassey is really encouraging and chatty which works for me because I always wanted to give up, haha

each day was a 20-30 minute workout which was pretty simple to fit in

the future

Cassey has made several different beginners calendars over the years, and I'd be interested in completing another one in the future as I don't think I'm ready for her full videos yet!

for now though, I think I'm going to pivot and do other workouts instead! I'd like to get back into the gym again after many months away, and delve into running outdoors with the hopefully warm weather we're getting soon

Day 38 complete of my 90 Day Journey!

[freyasfatkat]

Hey I’m Kat.

I’m 32. Aries.

I’m trying to lose weight in a healthy way.

My goals are:

Drink 64 oz water per day

Maintain a 750 calorie deficit (so if my TDEE is 2000 then I’d eat 1250 cals that day, and so on) I’ve been aiming for a “clean” diet leaning towards plant based.

I have a Fitbit so I’m trying to hit the goals that it set: 10,000 steps per day, hit my cardio load goals daily and my active zone minutes daily too.

My workouts come from Blogilates, FitOn app, and Fitbit. But also general activities like playing tag with the kids or going for a walk.

But in the spirit of being healthy, I won’t beat myself up about not hitting every goal every day or overeating one day etc.

Day 5 of 90 - Gotta Fuel Up

I ended up rolling out my legs yesterday using a large rolling pin, of all things, because that’s what I had on hand. And I think it helped! This morning my legs definitely felt used, but they didn’t feel nearly as sore as they did yesterday morning. My abs, on the other hand, feel as sore as ever. Is there a way to roll out ab muscles? 😅

FOOD (again)

I realized that I do actually need to come up with a food plan. Apparently, the way I was eating before was fine for the amount of energy I was expending, but now that I’m working out for about an hour every day, I really need to consume more calories in order to keep my energy levels up. But I don’t want to just eat more unhealthy snacks, like chips and cookies (which is what I currently have on hand). So, I’m going to need to do some research to find some healthy, nutritious snacks that I can grab throughout the day that will help keep me energized. Because I’m really more of a snack-er than a 3-full-meals-and-that’s-it kind of person. I usually don’t eat all that much in one sitting, so I like to graze. Which will be fine if I have nutritious foods that are fueling me to graze on.

For example, yesterday we had run out of eggs, and I hadn't made myself the chicken wing dish yet that I was planning to, so for breakfast and lunch I ate a ham and cheese sandwich without the bread (as in... just slices of ham and sliced of cheese). My thought regarding the bread was white bread = empty carbs, so white bread =/= healthy eating. So that's why I omitted it, since I'm trying to be more conscious about what I'm using to fuel my body. But it turns out that if I remove a carb from my diet, then I need to replace it with another carb - even if it is a healthier carb. Because I basically just didn't really eat any carbs for most of the day yesterday, and then felt exhausted in the afternoon. So yeah... I need to come up with a plan.

Healthy, quick foods that I am more likely to eat (getting ideas from this article):

Fruit

Mixed nuts

Eggs

Milk

Oatmeal

Green smoothie (I need to buy some spinach that I can have on hand to blend into my smoothies to get some more nutrients into my diet.)

Plain greek yogurt (to go in the smoothie - will add protein to my food intake)

Apple with peanut butter

Bananas

Chocolate milk (for post-workout recovery)

More ideas here in the Blogilates 90-day meal plan

Yeah... after doing some research, and especially reading this article, I think it's likely that the fatigue I've been experiencing over the past few days has been a result of low blood sugar and not eating / drinking enough. But now I know, and I will work on building up healthier habits in that arena. I don't want to impede my body's progress toward health and wellness by not giving it the proper fuel it needs.

Also, I'm recalling the fact that I didn't have a period for the three months that I did my last 90 day journey, back in 2019. At the time, I remember thinking, "huh, that's weird" and just chalking it up to something I heard about female athletes sometimes not getting a period when they were in an intense training phase. I figured my body was just confused about how much I was working out. But I'm realizing now that I think it was actually more serious than that. This article has more info, but basically, losing your period "can be a sign of exercise-induced anorexia related to energy deprivation from not eating enough, from exercising too much, or from a combination of the two," and has some pretty serious side effects, including loss in bone density and loss in muscle mass. Oof. I guess I really should have paid more attention. Also, it seems like I wasn't eating enough even back then, if my body was reacting this way.

So, new plan:

Hydrate well before and after working out

Eat a snack or meal with complex carbs and protein pre-workout (either a snack 30 mins before the workout session, or a full meal 2-3 hours before)

Eat three full meals + 3 carb-rich snacks each day

Eat within 30 to 60 minutes post-workout. Post-workout meals should be high in carbs and protein. (examples include sandwich _ fruit, bagel with peanut butter + chocolate milk, energy bar + yogurt with granola, salad and fruit, spaghetti with meatballs, etc.) If I can't eat a full meal right away, then eat a snack immediately and then a full meal later.

Consume enough calcium every day (sources include milk, yogurt, cheese, leafy greens, and calcium-fortified orange juice)

EXERCISE SESSION

Today's session was fairly brief, as I just didn't have the spoons to do a longer session. It was only about 20 minutes, but I'm proud of myself for still working out instead of having an "all-or-nothing" mindset.

20 minutes, abs-focused pilates:

Beautiful abs

10 minute lower ab workout

MEASUREMENTS

I know I said I wasn’t gonna do this, but I was curious, so I weighed myself this morning before I had eaten anything. It came up 152.2 lbs, so I guess my baseline is more like 152. Good to know. NOW I’m putting away the scale for at least another week or so.

Also, my measurements aren't changing day-to-day (as to be expected), so I'm going to stop measuring every day and move to weekly measuring.

mun työkaveri on päättänyt opettelemaan kaiken maailman maat ulkoa ja se harjoittelee niitä meidän työhuoneessa. siis mun työpäivä on kuulostanut tältä:

"mikä sijaitsee Intian ja Afganistanin välillä?"

"eiks se oo Pakistan?"

"no totta totta tietysti, kiitos. miten Bahrain kirjoitetaan?"

ja useimmiten:

"mitkä mä missasin?"
