With my increase in weight work, I am feeling the body change even more dramatically. My goals are changing as well. I plan on increasing my weight loss goal to be 25% of my total weight. Although most charts indicate I should be in the low 120s or high teen, when I've been there, my body hasn't felt well even when I was there the right way. My body prefers low 130s as in 131 or 132. Doctors may say I'm wrong, but the amount of energy I put into lowering it depletes me rather than energizes me. As of today, I will adjust my goal weight down to 132.
I actually can't wait to get to the gym for my weights to work my core strength. Just powered down some serious protein, so we're targeting fat and shooting for muscle. Yesterday, when my son was with me during a tough set, I told him that whenever it burns or my brain says I'm too tired to keep going, I imagine that with each rep or step I am kicking the hell out of the glioblastoma tumor that killed my mother last April. In my mind, I'm telling it off for everything it took from me and removing what is in me that would welcome illness. I can only deal with what I am in control of, and that I do gladly. He understood without a word.
Healthy and happy despite hardship.

gaining 2.1 lb a week

Yesterday, I worked out and reached a nw level of mets during the cardio. As my BPM increased, my emotions elevated in a positive way. I found myself mentally yelling at the glioblastoma cells that killed my mother a year ago. I screamed to them, "I won't let you find fat in me to grab onto. You won't find space, cancer!" I've been doing this for my son, my husband, my broader family and me. Fitness is the gift I am in control of within all of the aspects I'm not able to control in terms of wellness.
My day was full of foods rich in lean fat, fiber and vitamins. Not much junk going in these days for the body to discard. Ha! However, it was a day of planned indulgence, We went to the ice cream parlor, and I got fresh peach ice cream. One scoop equals about 3 cups, I estimated, and every mouthful was well worth it as was the date with the family.
Moderation, well being, and fun are all part of my new lifestyle. Although empty calories are where I indulge, the majority of the time I'm trying to get enough calories filled with fiber and protein into my body. So yummy and healthy. It's no sacrifice. Like my gentle workouts designed for sustainability and weight training to rebuild muscle mass and bone density, I'm not going as hard as I possibly can in order not to hurt myself or burn out at 51. Cheers!

Weighing in today was not a surprise. The change in my measurements and BP confirms that my body is changing for the better even if my body maintains its weight after my initial rapid weight loss. Did my measurements day early, and yippee. Lean numbers are up. Fat numbers are down.I am especially proud that my son seethes mother living for vitality, health, and longevity.

The Navy Bean, Kale, Rosemary, Roasted Garlic and Caramelized Onion Soup I made with low sodium chicken stock continues to be a robust source of low calorie, high fiber, high protein fuel. I add a tablespoon of shredded parmesan on top, and it is tasty energy.

Doing more weights, eating more protein, rowing more. Increased mets during treadmill walking. Reached average of 147 BPM and 5 mets. Feeling better is my gauge of doing things well. Slow and steady. Yummy and healthy. Strong and well. These are my boundaries.
Wore my RBG t-shirt to the gym. While working out, she was in my head inspiring me along with my usual trainers: Mom, Granny, and Grandma.
