I'm really proud of how I stuck with these things that took a long time and required incremental progress, which can be frustrating at times. I could have stuck my head in the sand and just kept doing what was comfortable. I've got a bit more work, but soon it'll be time to figure out what's next.

In the past year, I've lost 23 lbs, gotten my total cholesterol back to "normal" from "elevated" range (220 > 195), got a late autism diagnosis, figured out how to manage my sensory experiences better to minimize anxiety, hit new PRs in weight lifting, fixed my teeth w invisalign, and am almost done with allergy shots.

Slow and steady wins the race. Down over 20 lbs, making new lifting PRs, no daily medications, and most importantly, feeling really good about all the work I've done this past year to get here. It was hard, but worth it. Next week I'll have a physical and see if the cholesterol is down. Either way I'm proud

Been a minute since I came on here. I've been thinking a lot about the future and how fed up I am with the vast amount of people who are just complaining and doing nothing. It's all rage sharing and inaction. When you aren't really thinking with the herd, it's lonely, even when you're right.

Truthfully it’s been a rough few weeks. There’s been a lot of good stuff, don’t get me wrong, but I’m finding it harder and harder to see and appreciate that. Going to workout, get some steps, and hope I can clear my head.

This month I have one big goal and that should culminate at the end of February. I've always had a frustration with the fact that I can be as good or on point as I want and it doesn't result in the masses following - just a select few. I hope this year to appreciate those few more. I just need the right people

Life update: Jan came and went and tbh despite all the madness in my little corner of the world things were good. Stuff happened I'm proud of. I continue to lose weight and improve my fitness. I keep writing out my 10 tasks in my planner and holding myself to them. I'm chipping away at shit that feels hard.

I know it’s female coded but having a planner has really kept me on track, accountable, and saved time in the long run.

I will celebrate the wins he's given us including freeing Ross and likely making me a lot of money over the next 4 years. Contrary to what I see most people say, I am not rooting for him to fail. Do I worry when I see things like trying to get him a 3rd term? Ofc. But I hope sense will prevail & if it doesn't, hopefully I'll be an oligarch.

I think it's pretty obvious I did not vote for Trump. My reasons were due to his policies on climate change, diversity/trans/civil rights, reproductive rights, and overwhelmingly because of Jan 6 which I felt was deeply troubling and a dark day for every proud American. That said, we're here.

Been away from home for almost a week now and despite eating out the past 3 nights in a row, stayed on track with my calories. Def would have kept myself under if I'd been making my own food but still feel good about how this has gone. Got all my workouts and steps in too.

Really proud that I've managed to get my 2/3 weight workouts for the week done yesterday and today, just in case the week gets busy. Also did a ton of walking and worked in some jogging time despite being on "vacation"-ish. I actually think the change of scenery has been motivating and really good for me

Today I'm heading to live/hang in the south for 2.5 weeks. Originally the plan was to escape the cold but seeing as how Atlanta just had a snowstorm I'm not sure if we'll escape much of anything. For some reason no matter how much I fly, travel anxiety always hits me. Once I'm on the plane I'm fine, it's the lead up

I want a creami but we just don’t have the space for it. My favorite of their non clear powders (stats still great) are chocolate brownie batter and snickerdoodle. I occasionally do a decaf protein coffee where I dump shots of decaf espresso over a snickerdoodle shake

Same - it's a really great app. I love the ability to import recipes to figure out calories. When I go to a restaurant it's much easier to find a recipe that's similar than log a generic supermarket food. Goals for this year beyond goal weight are increase in muscle mass. That powder is so good no lie

Can vouch for the pink and orange flavors, the blue is on standby in my cupboard. 90 cals and 20g protein - I put it in a big cup with ice and that's what I drink if I'm post workout or really craving something sweet that isn't water with a meal lately. No secret that prioritizing protein helps satiate you and when you have sub 1400 cals a day it's been a game changer.

This is all the while enjoying myself at Christmas, New Years, Hanukkah latkes, and dining out regularly. I've been using the Lose It app for tracking plus my garmin watch for workouts. Biggest recommendation to stay on track is CSE's clear protein powder - https://cleansimpleeats.com/collections/clear-protein-powder
