He's who got some before and afters to show off?!?!

So I went off my diet and been trying really hard to get back into it. Tonight I wanted so bad to eat mac and cheese but went for a turkey sandwich and side salad instead. Much better choice. Mainly because I been over eating lately as well. This time at least it was with a salad. Oh and I been drinking lots of soda and fruit juices. So trying to drink more water like before.

There isn't much of a difference in these photos. Really wish I took photos like these back in January. I know it would show a bigger difference. Either way better late than never. I'm going to try and be consistent with my pictures to show my progress.

Again this is more for myself than anyone else. 😊

I'm not where I thought I would be by September but I'm still very happy with where I am. Especially since I was so scared I was going to gain weight during a quarantine.

Another rest day. And I didn't eat dinner because I woke up so late breakfast was actually at 1pm. Haha

Didn't do any physical activities today since it was a rest day. I planned on getting some Chinese food which would have been crazy amount of calories but since they were closed I went for sushi. I will say it pretty easy counting calories during covid since I don't go out as much but once that changes idk if I'll continue to count. Might go back to how I was before. Just being very mindful of what I eat. Controlling portions.

Jogged twice today. Real calories burned was 1830 for the whole day. I'm going ti start posting my food diary the day after to get accurate number of calories burned.

I feel like this is turning more into my fitness journal... might delete everything that doesn't have to do with my fitness journey. Idk.

So I only jogged once today. I wanted to go twice but because I ate so late I knew if I did i would feel sick. Plus I didn't want to take the pups. I like going with her because I feel safe but today she randomly saw some animal in the tree and yanked me so hard i almost fell. She always does that makes me not want to take her on jogs. I know it will get better with time to stop i have to. So if i must ill just take once in a while with me so that is until she gets better and then i can take her with me all the time. I just don't like being held back. And I feel like I'll be in a good rhythm / pace and she stops to smell something or to go on a didn't trail and it messed me up. I wanted to go the hands free where the last is around my waist but because she randomly stops and it messed with my stomach. Feels like my gut is being hit when the lead yanks. It's just annoying. Tomorrow I think I'll be going alone. Really sad I couldn't today. Going to stick to smoking only when I'm away from food. That's why i ate so much.

at least I’m not at my starting weight.

at least I’m not at my highest weight.

at least I’m not heavier than I am now.

I really want to try and keep track of my calories intake.

I jogged twice today so I ate a little extra than usual. Still did really good. Truthfully, my breakfast smoothie really helps lower my total. Also very surprised with the Coco water too. Might start drinking that more often.

I like camping. So far like also camping alone. I'm currently sitting on a beach that's naively private. Joint in one hand and an ice coffee sitting next to me. There are a few things that happened but I think its just a lot of new things I'm just learning. Like I spilled the espresso because I was depressorizing the stove. I should have remembered that it was barely balancing on it so obviously it would fall off. I wasn't going to drink it anyway but suckes cause I had to clean it up. But it's whatever. No one saw. I have all this time. Now what was really bad was that after I finally sit down. I spilled my iced americano on the blanket. Haha. Dumb.

I'm not too upset tho. I'm sitting on a beach with my whatever wasn't spilled Cafe.

I just want to say that I've made a fire all by myself. 😊

I'm going camping 🏕

Its crazy. Before I would have thought this spread was to die for. Goals even. Now im like. Whoa thats way too much. Thats almost disgusting. I would be happy with maybe 1 or 2 of these options.

Dieting is not a one time thing for a few months. It's a lifestyle change. Its a change in how to think. Consciously making a healthier choice for the future you.
