Looks awesome!

It was so much fun!  The bull actually hit the clown in the barrel and sent him flying! 

We went to the fair and Rodeo/concert over the weekend.  So much fun!

So as I was training legs tonight the free weight cronies were razing one of them because I was leg pressing more than him. I was only doing 495 lbs  (my max is 720 lbs) Derrik  laughed and told them what my max was. They are for sure he's lying. I had so many witnesses to see it when I did it but something in me wanted to prove it to them.  Grr

Anyways,  who else lifts weights?

So, weekly check-in:

Weight is 176.8lbs. So I have lost just over 3lbs in the first week.  Pretty cool. 

To recap I am aiming for low carb.  Nothing dramatic.. I have put 30/40/30 in MFP but I am mainly concerned with keeping carbs 30 or under to begin with, I am struggling to keep fat down now, my day is often sthg like 20/40/40 or 20/30/50.  I can't work on everything at once so once low carb becomes a bit easier for me I will pay attention to balancing fat and protein a bit better.

I had 1 day off the low carb thing (intentionally) but still stuck to my calorie max (1200) and actually lost a lb that day so I feel that was a good plan.

3 down, 57 to go

This makes me so happy! 

Better look at the necklace 😘

Dom and Moon I think I need to do picture blog the adventures of my necklace!

I had a bad day yesterday too. Something in the air maybe? Now I want ice cream.

What sucks is I've been good about keeping my binge foods out of the house, and I've been so depressed that I found something I don't normally binge on anyway. So not only did I get that same post-binge self-loathing, the gratification during the binge was like a 4 out of 10. It's like deciding to hook up with an ex and the sex turns out to be not nearly as good as you were hoping.

Stupid ex's 😂

aww so mushy. *shuffles foot in embarrassment*

 

Well since you started the mush, I might as well finish it.  You're the one who inspired me to start, and kept me going with your own amazing progress. 

Aww,  I luvs you! I'm glad my journey has helped you.  *hugs* now more stairs! Lol

.....hangs head..... I ate ice cream last night too. We'll do the walk of shame together. ...naked.... *shame shame shame* 😉

My necklace was a gift from my guy 😍

I know you have heard me say it before,  but I'll say it a million times over. I am so proud of you!  You have over come a lot to lose the weight.  Love you

I'm super mad at @firenymph.   Okay not really.

 

but a couple years ago she started a facebook group for people trying to lose weight. And she was doing awesome.  So I got inspired and lost a bunch of weight.  But I'm very what I call "skinny fat".  Sure, yeah, I'm 125 pounds. Yay go me.  But I'm super unfit. 

So I've been trying to be more active.  Today its raining, so I remembered a conversation I had with Firenymph about walking up the stairs as a way to be active.  WHy not?  Surely 30 minutes won't be so bad, I walk up and down those stairs a lot.

I lasted ten fucking minutes.  I think I might be dying.  But I did go from 300 steps to 1200.  In ten minutes so theres that.

This seriously made my night! I love you! You did awesome! 

Lol. Yes very much so. I love working out with him. I love that he is so strong. With me being as strong as I am I intimidate a lot of the guys at the gym so it great that he makes me feel  like a girl. I know that sounds silly,  but I wanna know he can pin me down and make me beg. Lol

It's going well so far @fox, my fitness pal calorie tracker is coming in a little under but I don't trust it completely. I am not eating standardised branded stuff so it is hard to too exactly your amounts. I am using it mainly to keep an eye on my macros, but still ppl don't always add quantities correctly. Anyway, aside from yesterday's lunch I am pretty satisfied and not struggling with cravings... unless I see things. Bangkok is FULL or dessert shops, cafes and bakeries. I am trying to keep myself focussed by looking at these images of sugary deliciousness as 'the man' trying to keep me poor and fat. So I walk passed with a "phuk you kirspie kreme" attitude. Let's hope it holds. 

Not sure if it is psychological but my body had been aching to move... so I walked around and stretched a lot yesterday. It is still the rainy season but that should end soon and then I will be able to walk home from work again and whatnot. 

I took some before photos but I feel a bit shy to post them. 

Sweetie, you got this! Never be afraid to share your start! Because denouncing it is part of over coming it. Tell yourself "this is not me" I am not fat. I have fat and it can take a bloody hike! You know it's long and hard. You shed tears and pounds! You can do this! 

Peanut butter and bananas are a fantastic protein snack! Sweet and good! Fish is full of protein.  Look at some of my Keto recipes on pintrest.

wow! great work @FireNymph! What have you been doing? Do you count calories? Low carb?

Awesome progress for both of you!  Do you use mostly cardio or a balanced mix of training?

I eat about 1200 to 1700 calories a day depending on my work out.  I work out 5 days a week about an hour to an hour half . I do cardio then I lift heavy weights!
