Feeling a new kind of good. I've been "fit" before but never healthily so. I either was too glib about skipping meals or exercising too hard at the expense of stamina.
All of what I'm doing has been in acknowledgement of where I am at in my life as well as who I want to be. Fit. Resilient. Well. Happy. Vital. Confident. My son is my inspiration as are the women who came before me. My mom. My granny, my grand-grandmother. Each was a model of fierce motherhood and feminine strength. Triumphing over innumerable hardships, they gave the best example to me.
I hope to do the same for my son.
Today is the last day before my husband and I head on a road trip to a wedding in upstate NY. I've planned meals and snacks as well as exercise, but there will be a break from my routine. That's good. It will allow my body to not be set in its ways. Different exercise, different foods, etc. Changing it up will be good. When I return, I will near the end of August when I switch to my swimming routine to really mix up my body's fat burning.
Cheers to health and happiness.

losing 9.8 lb a week
25 August 2021
Let me focus today on my consistently lower blood pressure, heart rate, and I hope cholesterol. I failed to measure my inches until three weeks into my new regimen, so I'm guessing at where I started. Since I started measuring, I've lost two inches on my bust, two on my waist, an inch on each thigh, and three on my hips. Wasn't measuring my biceps. Neck, wrist, and forearm have remained although I gained muscle definition.
All of this adds up to health. That's what matters to me. Looking good is great. Don't get me wrong, but feeling good and knowing I am doing everything I can to be he me I deserve, my husband, and son deserve, ant that will be the me I can contribute physically and mentally is the real point.
I get next to no external validation excluding my husband. No one who knows me sees me since we moved and the pandemic prevents loved ones from traveling. Therefore, my reward is my own knowledge which is a better than others praising me like a prize cow.

steady weight
24 August 2021
Today is a fantastic day. I officially hit my original goal weight of 138. I did it with a protein-filled, fiber-filled, vitamin rich, water drenched diet and moderate exercise combining cardio for heart health and weight resistance for fat burning and muscle building. I exercised in a way that would not burn me out, hurt me from straining or trying to do too much too soon. Typically, I go hard or go home. Only now am I at a vigorous exercise level, and that is because I can do this level.
As I began this new life habit regimen, I didn't know my body fat percentage, but that became my metric for what I should shoot for as my goal weight. The inches I've lost in my bust, waist, hips and thighs tell me I am on the verge of moving into the "fitness" range by most metrics. Although I'm 5'2 inches, I am not striving for the low 120s. I've been there in my fitness. It puts a toll on my body and stamina. The low 130s or very hight 120s is was low as I want to go because it is where I feel my most vigorous and robust.
Now that I've reached 138, I am six pounds away from 132 -- my goal weight. The lightness I feel and my well being propel me forward regardless of how long this will take. I feel myself returned to a person unencumbered by mental weight that carried with it the physical pounds that clung to my body. May it prove a healthy path allowing me years of joy and experiences with my son and husband.
