Proud of my building journey. Those shoulder gains are my fave. I used to think they were huge then. Haha

Always been obsessed with how the 2004 dvd release of The Matrix was color graded I tried to give that same vibe. Im no colorist by any means, but I’m trying to incorporate more grading/split toning in my creative work

Id worked hard to lose 70lbs in about 10mos, so I was understandably nervous about living on a floating buffet for 3 weeks lol. But I DID IT 🎉

Between mindful eating and using my tracking app (I like "Lose It"), I totally maintained!

I also...

• -Got my daily water in
• -Rarely took the elevator (there were 17 floors 😅)
• -Did a lot of walking
• -And totally had dessert every day. Thats a given lol

To save my DMs later on my initial weight loss... lol

- I ate in a calorie deficit

- prioritized protein & fiber

- got my daily water in

- typically followed IF intervals of 18:6 on weekdays - then 16:8 on weekends

- ate less gluten & inflammatory foods (which was helpful for me specifically cuz I have hypothyroidism & /hashimotos)

Also emphasis on the "less" part. I didnt cut anything out completely cuz I love taco bell too much

Weight: 171.8 to 190.4lbs
Preparing for my first show this summer

I started at 526.6 lbs.Today I'm 354.8 lbs.
That's 171.8 pounds gone in 8 months.
And I still got 130 ibs left but I'm still proud of what I did so far.
It's been fun documenting this on tik tok so far.
All follows and likes will be appreciated thanks for support.
