Fat Suit Sally

Lost 2.8 more pounds this week! That makes a total of 27.2 lbs since December. It’s not a lot, but it’s definitely progress. I can’t wait to actually be able to see a change.

Also, I lost 7.8 lbs on my first week of Weight Watchers! Hells yeah.

I have been posting SUPER sporadically and taking care of myself even more so. I have basically fallen off the wagon, hit the ground rolling, veered down a hill, into some thorny bushes, over some jagged rocks, and into a rushing river that feeds into a waterfall filled with pizza. I’m so happy at my job but I’ve let the knew routine be an excuse to not take care of myself. My sleep schedule is so much better than it’s ever been, but everything else is in the crapper. What I really need is a structured plan to help me reach my goals. I’ve resolved myself to try Weight Watchers again. I’ve done it before and always quit for one reason or another, usually moving. All of the times I’ve done it I’ve lost weight as long as I stuck with the plan and I honestly really like the way it’s set up. I feel that it is a more realistic plan for me because it focuses on moderation and changing the way you eat, not just restricting yourself. On the bright side of all this, I haven’t actually gained any weight! Luckily, my job keeps me moving most of the time, so I’ve been able to maintain my weight loss without trying. So now let’s get back to trying and see what I can do!

Despite my lack of full commitment and overall laziness, I have managed to lose a few more pounds. I’m under 290! Maybe it’s because I’m not thinking so much about it. Who knows. Good news regardless.

If these ladies are plus sized, I don’t mind staying in that category. I definitely want to be fit and healthy, but I really like the idea of still being soft and curvy. I think I can accomplish that and still be able to kick ass.

So I have been the worst at keeping up with posting and with trying to be healthy. I started a new job in April and I’ve let it be an excuse to be lazy. In my defense, I’ve been exhausted and it’s a big change to go from having all the free time in the world for working out and meal prep, to working full time. I’m really hoping that I can get my ass back in to gear this month. The whole month of April was pretty much a throw away. My biggest problem is that I suffer from severe depression and anxiety. Big transitions, like starting a new job, throw me way out of whack and make it much harder for me to self-regulate. Something I’ve learned about myself, since I started really trying to overcome my illness, is that I really need a schedule and a plan. Without one, I tend to take my sweet time and let things fall by the wayside. In the last few weeks, without having much of a plan for staying healthy, I’ve notice being more depressed again. So I’ve decided that this month my goal will be to form a detailed self-care plan. It is going to include a daily checklist of things I need to accomplish every day, a weekly goal, as well as specific rewards and relaxation plans. I’m really hoping that this will help me move towards my goal of being an emotionally and physically healthy person. 

I am the worst. Only because I’ve been neglecting my tumblr like whoa. I just got a new job, so I’ve been busy and overwhelmed. But I do have lots to post. So I’m going to sit down this Sunday and devote an hour or two to posting. Feel free to keep me accountable.

I’ve basically been the worst poster ever for the last few days. I was out of town and then didn’t have a computer, so I guess it’s not entirely neglect. Despite being MIA, I do have some excellent news. Not only did I lose two pounds, but I’ve started running. It hurts like hell, and I’m only doing it in intervals at this point, but I still call it an accomplishment. It basically feels like my lungs are bursting into flames with every step I take. My legs can handle running like some champs, but my lungs are so not on board. Everyone says it gets better the more you do it, but how in the hell do you get past the agony to keep going? I’m gonna try my best and this time I have some running partners, which I think is a recipe for success. Last week I pretty much kicked ass by walking a lot, taking a two hour hike, biking 10 miles at the gym and running for the first time in years. This week hasn’t been entirely made my bitch, but I’m finishing up pretty strong. Tomorrow I’m going to the circus with my sister’s pre-k class and I’m SUPER pumped. I’m especially excited about the healthy, fruit filled lunch I’m going to pack. Hells yeah.

I left Friday to stay with a friend and present at a conference in another state. I’ve been having a lot of fun, but haven’t lived up to my health expectations. Oops. We have done a good bit of walking, but my food intake has been subpar. Luckily I have learned over the last few months to not let small setbacks get me down. What’s done is done and all I can do is move forward from here. Here’s to being human.

Coming to see this at midnight was a bad idea. Its like a tween slumber party that I wasn’t invited to. Lol.

My followers better all reblog this.

There should be more notes

So…I’ve decided to start a tumblr. I’ve been browsing tons of fitness and weight loss tumblrs lately and I figured it might be worth my while to document my journey as well. Let me tell you, this is terrifying. Most of the tumblr users I’ve been following seem to have started documenting their progress at a midway point, but I’m at the very beginning. So hopefully this will keep me more accountable. Please bear with me while I figure out how to do this and find my place in this community. I’m super open to suggestions on what kinds of things I should add or talk about, so feel free to speak up!
