I started running this week! I never thought I’d enjoy running but here I am, running for fun for the first time in my 30s. I even signed up for a 5k that’s in 3 weeks 😅 but both times I ran this week was a distance of 3.25 miles and I did both with no stops or walking. I’m actually looking forward to running later today as well!

Last time I weighed this much was in high school.

I cannot believe I just broke past the 220’s! It honestly feels kind of surreal. But I’m so proud of myself for putting in the hard work and sticking to it!

200 here I come!!!!

The scale is finally moving again! Thank god 😅

It was kind of discouraging not seeing it move. This week I said I’ll be damned if I don’t make any progress.

20k steps every day
Squats, crunches, pushups every day
Weights 3-4 times a week
Rollerblading 4-5 times a week
And 1500 cal feed days.

The hard work is paying off!!

It seems I’ve hit my first plateau this week. But I’m not giving up! If the scale doesn’t move next week I’ll change up my strategy.

Overall total weight loss: 37 lbs

I’ve never been so happy to see a number on a scale! I can’t believe I reached the 220’s!!! Feeling super motivated to lose the next 10 lbs!

Happy Independence Day weekend to all my fellow Americans.

This weeks total weight loss: 6 lbs
Overall total weight loss: 31 lbs

This week was kind of strange because I was busy just about every day and didn’t get all my workouts in. But I still managed to lose 6 lbs, that’s a huge win!!!

I’ve lost 5 pounds since last weigh in. I’m kind of shocked at how much I’ve been losing, honestly.

My workouts throughout the week:
I almost walked 20k steps every day this week, 1 day I only did 15k and 2-3 days were around 18k.

Dumbbell exercises every other day

100 squats, 100 sit-ups, 50 pushups every day.

My diet:
I’m not. I eat what I want but just watch my portions.

Could I lose more weight on a strict diet? Yes.
Do I want to give up the foods I love? No.
I lost 5 pounds this week, I’ll adjust my diet if I’m not seeing any more progress.

Last week I was at 249 and this morning I’m at 245!

I’m not going to lie, I was a little discouraged with how much my weight fluctuated over the past two weeks and it’s the reason I didn’t post results at the end of last week.

When I started ADF 3 weeks ago I weighed in at 265. This morning I weighed in at 253!!! I’m so happy I stuck with it and will continue to do ADF until I stop seeing results.

Last night I decided to change up my plan for eating days. Before, I didn’t stick to any diet and would just eat whatever my heart desires. I think that was doing more harm than good and probably why my weight was fluctuating so much. From this day forward I plan to be a little smarter about eating better foods.

My new goals for eating days is to be at a calorie deficit, eat more protein rich foods, and to cut out snacks.

Another change I’m making is better exercise. I’ve started doing body weight workouts at home. Honestly, I would like to get a gym membership but I currently live in the middle of nowhere and the closest gym is more expensive than I want to pay. Not to mention the price of gas is making it hard for me to justify driving anywhere.

I do plan to walk more as well! My bare minimum goal is 10k steps but ideally I’ll be shooting for 20k when it’s practical. I don’t always have 2+ hours to walk everyday. (It takes me just over an hour to walk 10k)

Wish me luck y’all! Next week I hope to be out of the 250’s and that much closer to my goal weight!

My first week of adf and I’ve officially lost 10 pounds! I’m shocked honestly because I’m not dieting or anything. I’ll keep going like this until I plateau and then I’ll consider switching to a diet plan.

Today is another fasting day so I’m having a cup of coffee this morning and then water the rest of the day.
