I'm at the beginning again. And I'm glad I found the starting line! More fitness. Less calories. Hella water. The belly fat is going down. My abs are stronger.
It's difficult. I get emotional sometimes. I self-loathe, and I have to get up every time I fall. I can be impatient with myself. I hate that it's taking long to get back to losing at least a pound a week. I fall to cravings a lot, especially during the weekend.
It's not always sun-and-sunshine, but I try to steer myself back to positivity as much as possible. God, please unleash the power and discpline I need to help me get to my first target goal. I want to lost those pounds I gained in grad school.
Monthly numbers:
Last month: April 2018 Weight 160 lbs Body Fat 38 %
This month: May 2018 Weight 158.5 lbs Body Fat 39 %*
1.5 pounds in a month. Okay. Not a bad start, especially considering that I started my changes (calorie counting in earnest and working out more) in the middle of the month. I'm hoping for consistent decreases. Specifically, I would love to get back in the lower 150's before my July trip to the carribean.
*My body fat seems to have increased because I changed the way I am measuring my body fat, not necessarily because my body fat went up.

Nice to see you back on the comeback trail Diea!! If you want to feel a little less hungry on the same calorie restricted diet, you may want to experiment with upping your protein intake...higher protein intake will also help workout recovery, lot's of good information on the "google machine" if interested :-) Hope your week ahead goes really well!

You were 227 in May 2012. You've come a long way! Don't forget it. You can do the rest!!! Just be patient and focused. I know you can do it!

Thank you, Steven!!
Yes. I definitely need to do better about prepping meals that are higher in protein. I only have meat once a week now, so my previous go to's - like bacon, chicken, etc. - are extremely limited. I have protein powder for shakes, and seeds, and all kinds of veggie protein stuff. I just need to get in the habit. Thank you for the reminder!

Thank you for that reminder, NowIunderstand. It's been a long journey, for sure. I've learned so much since I was 227. It amazes me sometimes how far I've come. Thanks again!
