I was a little more indulgent this week with my birthday being on Saturday. I ate a lot that was hard to track and that I didn't measure out but I still tried to be very aware of exactly what I was eating. My husband kept telling me "birthday calories don't count", which is a nice sentiment but we all know the truth to that. I just accomplished my first goal and if I would've seen a number over 200 on the scale this morning I would've been really upset.

Last Friday my son and I took a 3 mile walk - our longest in nearly four years. We bested ourselves with 3.4 miles yesterday. One of my birthday gifts was the premium version of the All Trails app. I know there's a lot of great parks and places to walk here and am looking forward to exploring more.

Overall, I'm happy with the way I'm celebrating my 45th trip around the sun.

My goal was to be under 200 by my birthday next Saturday and here I am! I made it!

Next goal is 190# by Ostara. I've got this!

I've been eating the same breakfast every day since last June (at least), but recently added chia seeds for extra fiber and healthy fats. It's been perfect - I eat breakfast around 7:30 AM and am ready for lunch around 11. The last couple of weeks I've been waking up starving and my morning meal isn't holding me nearly as long. I added more chia seeds this morning and will see if that helps.

It's still difficult to not be afraid of calories. It sounds ridiculous to me to say it, but as someone who has struggled with weight their entire life, getting healthy has always meant restriction and feeling hungry. If an apple had 100 calories and chocolate had 50, I'd eat the chocolate. If I was dragging and needed energy, I'd down a 0-calorie energy drink, not a handful of nuts.

Even though I know diet refers to what you consume, I don't use it in this context. I'm not on a "diet"; I'm aiming for a lifestyle change. I'm on a health and fitness journey. It continually amazes me how much there is to unlearn from decades of unhealthy diet culture and restriction. When I started out at 1600 calories, I secretly thought that number might be too high. Imagine my surprise when I recalculated and took my activity level under consideration and landed at 1900 instead. I'm struggling to not beat myself up for going a little over or under but instead looking at the week as a whole and considering the totality of my food intake instead of calories alone.

I'm curious to see what else I learn along the way. I don't believe in BMI as a target and I refuse to set an idea goal weight right now. I've learned that bone mass, age, and muscle all affect the number on the scale and what that means for your health better than BMI. I've got a small goal that makes sense to me now, but it's still a "let's get here first and see how I feel" goal more than anything else.

So here's to Tuesday, another day to explore and learn, and to have a beautiful day.

I slipped back into some bad habits today. Not that one off day is going to kill me, but I have a bad headache and only myself to blame.

I ate breakfast before running errands, then forgot my water bottle while running aforementioned errands. Maybe that's what threw me off to begin with.

I didn't eat again until almost 2:00 and then only snacked. Took my son and dog to the park for a walk and had a huge headache by the time we got home. Finally figured out oh yeah ... that whole food thing. 🙄 So now my body is off kilter and I know from experience that the only thing that's going to reset me is a good night's sleep. I'm going to make sure I take care of myself the rest of the night and salvage what I can of the day.

The icing on the cake is that I tweaked my knee tonight and am currently icing it. I'm lucky it happened at home and not in the middle of the park. I'm frustrated with the day and with my choices but am using it as lessons learned.
