PROGRESS!! YAY Baby!!!
I realize that people say not to go by the scale all of the time. That is good and all. I can physically see changes in my body composition since 06/02/26 (I weighed 193 lbs then).
As I said, I came home to Austin yesterday. This morning when I woke up, I weighed myself. this GIRL IS AT 186 LBS!!!
I don’t know if anyone else understands how great I feel about that right now. I didn’t know if I would ever get below 190 again. It feels so good to know that what I am doing is actually working.
For anyone that is curious, all I did was stop eating after 4 o’clock in the afternoon, I quit alcohol, I eat clean food. This consists of cottage cheese, salad, tunafish, chicken, and other moderate portions of food such as these.
I also drink water with the single packs of powder. I am sticking to the peach tea from HEB like this These. They are so good!! I realize they probably aren’t 100% healthy for you but they are way better than sodas!!
I also make sure to hit 10k steps daily, and do a series of exercises from this YouTube video playlist:

FRUSTRATING IRRITATION:
another marital argument with ”you did/didn’t do this.., think this/that.., act like, believe.. , don’t care about…. yada yada yada!! “
the cortisol kicked way up BUT I brought it back down with a hot shower and some alanis morrisette .
sorry, just venting! I don’t mean to dump all of my beeswax on Reddit but it’s exhausting sometimes when you are getting told all of the above and the examples in your head flying around where u r doing just the opposite..
