"Sometime next year" later...

The magical "sometime next year" has arrived, and it's time to get back on the horse.

During the time of high stress I did gain some weight, but as of this morning the scale said 177.4, and that's frankly better than I thought.

My body feels aboslutely terrible, though, so I gotta get back to it. I'm constantly dealing with huge water retention, and I feel heavy and lethargic, despite probably getting more exercise than before.

I've started using an exercise app. Not for the exercise as much as just a reminder to get up and move around, because I do tend to be hugely sedentary in my life. So first step to feeling better would be to combat this.

The meals is where it's at, though, and while I've already cut down some, it's definitely not enough. But I wanted to start up very gently, since I'm only just barely over the stress-hump, and pushing myself too hard is a recipe for disaster.

So right now I'm back to eating six smaller meals a day, though this time "smaller" is kind of a loose term. Smaller really just means "cut in half where possible, and don't feel too bad if it doesn't happen".

Baby steps.

Back on the horse!

Day who even knows anymore.

Well, I haven't posted here since July, with good reason. Life is fucking chaos, and will probably remain that way until sometime next year.

But the good news is that I remain somewhat steady at 175 kg, and if I can just keep it there until life gets less stressful, I hope I can get back on track and lose another 7-9 kg.

Fingers crossed!

Day 237: weigh-in and sickness.

Well, I accidentally hit my first goal of losing 10 kilos, but I would not recommend the method. I got massively ill, and have spent the last two days sweating and puking and being in agony. But I stepped on the scales this morning, not even entirely naked like always, and the number was 172.0.

So, efficient, but definitely not recommended. Ugh. I also know it won't last, but when you're this sick, you gotta take the bright spots where you can get them.

Day 206: Weigh-in.

Missed it last week, because my life is insane. Today the scales said 175.4. Bah. Not that I've made any effort at all. Can't with this amount of stress, ugh.

Day 192: Weigh-in.

174.9.

So I was wrong, lol.

Day 191: Forgot.

I totally forgot my weigh-in this morning, and considering my chaotic life currently I'm not surprised. I'm gonna try again tomorrow, and I predict that I'll either have lost a little or gained a lot.

We'll have to wait and see.

Day 184: Weigh-In.

Didn't manage a weigh-in last week because I simply forgot 3 days in a row, and decided I might as well wait until the next one.

The scales today showed 174.9, and considering the insane amount of stress I'm under right now, I'm pretty damn proud of that.
