10/20/23 Things I did to help myself.... what did I have to change? Seems like everything some days.
Healthy Tips
Realistically evaluated my eating habits. It was either not enough or too much, no in-between. That was part of my problem.
Most restaurant meals are too much, even if you think you are ordering the 'healthy option'
It is not normal to gorge yourself on appetizers, drinks, & a giant entree. Choose a moderation mindset: Pick one or 2. Share an app. One drink. Pack half your entree 'to go'.
Our society is driven by consumerism. I had to take steps to stop that. Meet people to do activities, not to consume things.
Water- I shoot for 200 oz of water a day.
I take low cal beverages with me... nearly everywhere. Tea, coffee, sparkling water.
Try all kinds of different tea.
Meals focus on protein and produce. If you are still hungry- eat another portion of meat and produce.
Try to eat as unprocessed as possible. They add stuff to our food to make our brains light the F up. It isn't natural and devastating to people like me who are especially susceptible. Often when I have issues (yesterday!) It is because I had a processed item.
Sometimes I add a fiber supplement to my drink. Adds calories yes but I don't worry about it.
Try to only have 1 sweet thing a day. The later in the day, the better. I will actually be shooting for every 3 days or so.
Some of my craving issues were blood sugar related because I was pre-diabetic and had PCOS- which has an insulin problem.
If you haven't eaten, plan and eat a healthy meal that has a substantial amount of protein.
If you have eaten already, try to distract yourself with a task. If you are still truly hungry 20 minutes later- have another bit of protein & veggies.
Walk daily. But don't count it as your cardio.
If you work at a desk, get a standing desk and try to work up to standing daily.
Cardio 3x a week. Whatever you enjoy. Yes, you have to enjoy it. If you don't, you haven't found your activity yet.
Weight training 3x a week. Lift all the weights you can, as often as you can manage. You are now in training. For life!
Supplements- figure out what works for you. I am currently on: Sam-E, NAC, Nomorbidity, Alkemi, allergy stuff, and some other stuff I rotate in.
Read books that help your mindset. Atomic habits, mindset books. 10 mins a day, make it a habit to improve yourself.
Watch YouTube videos that build your motivation and determination.
Things can get better. I also utilize therapy! There is no shame in needing help!
I am becoming a healthier person and every choice reflects that.

10 Easy Ways to Lose Weight Naturally
1) Every day after waking up in the morning, eat one tomato on an empty stomach.
2) Mix 3 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp black pepper powder and 1 tsp honey and drink it with a glass of water every morning. Do this continuously for 3 months, you will feel the change in your figure.
3) Even drinking a glass of carrot juice daily does not increase obesity.
4) Cut a lot of cabbage and mix it in the salad. Even this will keep you slim. Cabbage is easily digested. Also, eating it gives a feeling of being full for a long time.
5) Boil ginger and lemon slices in a glass of water for some time, then filter the water and drink it (make sure the water is hot). It prevents obesity as well as overeating.
6) Avoid excessive consumption of rice and potatoes. If you cannot live without eating rice, then cook rice in a pot instead of a cooker and throw away the excess water.
7) Include fruits like jackfruit, grapes, papaya, pineapple, apple, French beans, figs, peach, guava etc. in your diet. They are helpful in reducing weight.
8) Green tea also helps in reducing obesity.
9) Fasting once a week is also a good option. Take only liquid things on this day, it will remove toxins and extra fat from the body.
10) Avoid consuming too much salt, it leads to weight gain.

How can I get 5% body fat? What will I need to eat?
Tumblr media
First of all, if you can do dedication, discipline and hard work, I recommend you to read the rest of the article, otherwise you may suffer a little ;)
Achieving 5% body fat is a very low level of body fat, and it requires a lot of dedication, discipline, and hard work. It’s important to keep in mind that this level of body fat is not sustainable for most people and may have negative health consequences.
To reach 5% body fat, you will need to follow a strict diet and exercise regimen that is tailored to your specific needs and goals. Here are some general guidelines that can help you get started:
Follow a calorie-restricted diet: To lose body fat, you will need to consume fewer calories than you burn each day. Aim for a moderate calorie deficit of around 500–1000 calories per day.
2. Focus on lean protein: Eating plenty of lean protein can help you build and maintain muscle while losing body fat. Good sources of lean protein include chicken, turkey, fish, lean beef, and tofu.
The best products I can recommend: https://amzn.to/3mvW661,  https://amzn.to/3ZJQwuV, https://amzn.to/3L5lIkw
3. Eat healthy fats: Healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil can help you stay satiated and provide important nutrients for your body.
4. Limit carbohydrates: Carbohydrates can be an important source of energy, but if you are trying to reach a very low body fat level, you will need to limit your intake of carbs. Focus on eating complex carbohydrates such as whole grains and vegetables, and avoid processed foods and sugary snacks.
The best products I can recommend: https://amzn.to/3IXjLnn,  https://amzn.to/3F3OcXN, https://amzn.to/3IVMSYm
5. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is important for overall health and can help you stay full and avoid overeating.
The best products I can recommend: https://amzn.to/3yeTwUC,  https://amzn.to/3IVMSYm
6. Exercise regularly: Incorporate both cardiovascular and strength training exercises into your routine to help you burn fat and build muscle.
It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your diet or exercise regimen, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. They can help you develop a plan that is safe and effective for you.

8/13/23 just kidding, I think my old anniversary was today.
Some notes on getting this done. Because it took literally 100 pounds for most people to notice my weight loss and suddenly people are asking me what I am doing.
The answer is: I am doing the same things I have been doing all along but continuing to tweak things every week.
This is about progression, and about learning sustainable habits that don't make you feel crazy. I have been exercising my entire life. The last 2 years I have been trying to focus on consistency, daily cardio (even if it is short), AND I added a class at work almost every day. Does that mean sometimes I do 2 or 3 workouts in a day? Yes. Is this disordered? No.
Here's why: I work a desk job and have for 20 years.
Simply put- sedentary lifestyle habits are hard to overcome. If you are sitting on your ass for 8-12 hours a day, you need more activity or you need to eat less. A lot less. Sometimes a combination.
I don't think we were meant to sit so much, but desk jobs are highly sought after. Normally they offer good hours and benefits.
But everyone I know who has one has suffered in the getting overweight and out of shape department. By middle age, we are chronically ill and mostly miserable.
I was in such ill health that I was swelling in my feet and legs daily and was so exhausted I couldn't move much.
I had to take lots of steps to change that. Small, incremental changes that built over time to build a sustainable life. I definitely have more capacity now than I ever have. Those first years were hard, working to change habits that I had built over a sedentary lifestyle. It took a long time. It might for you, just don't quit. Start from whereever you are today. Maybe by adding walks and go from there.
If you are young and haven't gotten to the chronic disease part yet, good. Start now and maybe by the time you get my age you won't be plagued by the chronic illness that many suffer from.
Obesity is just the beginning, really. You gain weight and then struggle to be active. Because getting up hurts. Moving hurts. Walking HURTS. So you sit on the couch and binge netflix instead of playing with your kids or dogs.
And the less you move, the worse it gets. But it is physics, really. Objects in motion stay in motion. Objects at rest stay at rest.
This has gotten really long, and I have so much more to say.
What did I have to change? Everything.
EVERYTHING.
I thought I was doing all the things that should make me successful before. But the fact is: I was not being consistent. I would go hard, then get injured, need to recoup and start over at square one.
I had to relearn an entire life's worth of DAILY habits. Food, exercise, shopping, sleep, going out-- all of those needs needed to be adjusted. Smoking and drinking- needed to be adjusted.
The things you do every day matter.
Every day. Every day. Every day.

Understanding Burnout: A Personal Journey into Life's Overwhelming Fatigue
Web Life is a beautiful journey, filled with ups and downs, joys and sorrows. But what happens when the downs seem to outweigh the ups, and the sorrows overshadow the joys? What happens when every day feels like a struggle, and the mere act of getting out of bed feels like climbing Mount Everest? This, my dear readers, is what burnout feels like. The Weight of Burnout Imagine waking up every…

I can’t stop burping, especially when I drink anything. It’s the gasses that are trying to escape and I don’t mean to be rude by burping but if I don’t let the gasses out then I can end up throwing up. I try to get the gasses out before I drink anything because it’s uncomfortable burping after I have something in my stomach. If I push just a little, everything I drink comes back up. I think my mom is bothered by it, but Im doing what needs to be done.
She asked me how often they wanted me to exercise and I lied, I told her for 30 minutes, 4 times a day. It’s actually closer to 45 minutes a day and to build up one’s tolerance and stamina slowly but I know she’ll push me to exercise. I had barely gotten myself to finish one whole protein shake for every one and a half days or two days but Im going to drink mostly water because I really don’t want to be dehydrated, especially exercising. Im taking all my vitamins (might get different ones though, the chalky taste and waiting for them to melt is turning me off from them) so at least that is that.

I have to realize that as I make these changes for the betterment of my life, I am going to miss out on things. I have my goals and the lifestyle of others may not fit those goals. This might mean declining invitations or not being invited at all. This might mean many days alone, doing the things necessary to move forward. It might even mean feeling lonely. And that is okay. Staying focused on my goals is important. If that means finding other activities that do fit my goals then so be it. I am doing a lot of things for myself and I will not let FOMO ruin what I am aiming for.
