    Ok--

    So-- long ago in a galaxy far far away, I was a fit, toned stripper. Then life happened. Had kids. Stopped dancing. Started camming and sitting on my butt 10-12 hours per day. Pounds started adding on... then one day I woke up-- and realized that I weighed in at 205 lbs.

    Yikes.

    I cut out almost all sugar. No more sodas. No more juice. The only things I drink these days is water and my 2 cups of tea per day with a packet of stevia. As of this morning, I'm sitting at 155. My current soft goal is 125. I'm 5'4" and very small framed. Back in my fittest days I was at 115, but I don't know if that is realistic for a 45 year old (well, 45 in 2 weeks) so at 125 I'm going to reevaluate how I look and feel. If I can get back into the one-teens.. I may consider competing, as I know myself well enough to know that if I throw competition into the mix, I'll maintain consistency after hitting goal. I lost the first 50 pounds in 4 months and have just recently entered the slow down phase of weight loss-- which makes it harder to just keep swimming-- so I'll be checking in here regularly to try to stay on track

    Diet wise, I'm doing a hybrid between old school Atkins and Keto--- less fat than typical Keto but not by much. Keeping carbs around 25-30g per day with once weekly refeed days where I get close to 70g of carbs. This is going to slowly shift because the satiety of keto for me puts me in a situation where I'm not eating enough calories-- and I need to adjust that as my working out gets more intense and often. Most of my food is clean-- but I do generally have a keto friendly yogurt after workouts and will sometimes eat the Keto friendly bars from Aldi's. Every 10 pounds I reward myself with a pint of Rebel.

    Workout wise-- I'm currently doing EMS workouts twice per week. I will be starting Orange Theory as soon as the studio in my neighborhood opens-- and will be doing that 3 times a week (Founding member-- join before one opens and you get a pretty sweet discount). When the weather is nice enough-- I will generally do a 1-2 mile trail walk every day- we have an amazing public hiking trail system here. But-- we're not quite at "nice weather" stage... so this is pretty limited. I try to hit the treadmill a couple times a week since weather is rough-- but I hate doing the hamster walk.

    Supplements-- Most of what I take could be classified as "vanity" supps. I take a couple different types of Collagen, Biotin, Vitamin E, Cod Liver Oil, CoQ10, B12, and Vitamin D. The Collagen has Zinc and C built into it, so I don't take those as stand alones.

    This year is also my year of vanity-- having DOT laser next week-- a lower lid blepharoplasty in July-- and may be considering a tummy tuck once I hit goal depending on how my baby belly looks.

    I started my 30 Day Challenge yesterday and worked out for the first time in forever. I am SO SORE and have to get back at it today.

    1 down, 29 to go. It will all be worth it!

    I have to remember while in the gym locker room that I am not in the club dressing room and it's not really appropriate to be frolicking around with my boobs proudly on display for all to see lol!

    Lol, same here. Although I don't go to the gym much, that's me when I'm there.

    Nice work! Don't forget to rest!

    Thinking of switching to planet fitness for their red light room alone. Plus they're cheaper

    I'm literally a member there for that red light bed alone-- in addition to having the red light.. it has the vibrating plate which REALLY helps me with muscle recovery.

    Day 4 of 30 and going strong!

    I'm getting a membership at Planet Fitness next week! I am just now hearing about this red room thing and I think it will be very advantageous for me. My boyfriend and I are going on Monday, and I'm actually (dare I say) excited to workout there! I've only been working out at the house so far. I can't believe I'm excited to get to a gym! I literally haven't been to a gym in like a year lol and I usually loathe going. The fact that I'm looking forward to it is telling me my mentality is already starting to change for the better.

    Also have incorporated a healthy new snack into my diet. Roasted cucumber slices with a little sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Pretty tasty, and low in calories. I am on an antidepressant that increases my appetite, so I have been looking for low-cal, healthy snack options. If anyone has any input, let me know!

    Think next month I'm switching to planet fitness. I'm bored of the gym I go to now, and I really wanna red light myself as much as it is safe to.

    5. 30 mins of self care per day (reading, journaling, meditation, bubble bath, skin care, whatever)

    I'm excited! Gotta get myself summer ready!
    One thing to be careful of. Drinking too much water at one time can be harmful. Your kidneys can only process about .8 - 1 liter per hour.

    ^lol, she said her goal was 2-4 liters per day, not per hour. I think she's safe from overhydration / death by water intake.

    I just wanted to add that, so that she doesn't try to drink too much at one time. I've read about people dying from drinking too much water.

    Yes, it's possible. Your post just made me laugh. I think 2-4 liters a day is pretty safe. The people you're talking about are drinking like 6 liters in a few hours, or not balancing intake with food and electrolytes, really extreme stuff.

    Proud of myself. I've been steadily increasing the amount of weight I've been lifting. I'm getting stronger. And I haven't killed myself accidentally by drinking too much water lol I got this!

    With my “ rib out “ healing it’s been hard to adjust.
    I still do the gym but about 2/3 time on bike.
    I lift at 30% ish

    I’d rather use caution than aggravate an injury.
    I realized today my Dr. didn’t give me good guidance on modifying movements .
    This can take a bit to heal but I don’t want to even go up a pound. :/

    I still want to see 164-165 weight and I’m usually 166 most days.

    Forcing myself to go to the gym for upper body day. I remind myself how good it feels when I'm done and that's what gets me going. I'm just bored of my gym. Joining Planet fitness next month bc I want to go also for their red light room/machine/thingie. Red light is rejuvenating and it will give meore motivation to go if I have the red light as a reward.

    Is any of us excited about working out? I maybe am once in a blue moon, or when I start doing something new, which lasts for about a week. I am struggling with discipline rather than motivation or liking it, lol )))
    But the more ways to workout I discover, the less excuses I am making and just admit I am plain lazy and don't care about my health, when I don't workout for 2-3 weeks in a row ))))

    Today's workout. Currently doing FB Burn program and this is in my calendar:

    Warm up (15 min): https://www.fitnessblender.com/video...-modifications

    Workout (24 min): https://www.fitnessblender.com/video...me-abs-workout

    Cool down (5 min): https://www.fitnessblender.com/video...or-busy-people

    Extra credit challenge (16 min): https://www.fitnessblender.com/video...cardio-workout

    Total: 44 minutes without extra credit challenge, 1 hour in total. I will do the extra challenge as I feel energized. So... 1 hour it is!

    Edit: Did only 40 min out of 1 hour. I didn't do the extra credit challenge and the cool down because food arrived. I ordered dinner from a restaurant that's super busy and their delivery time is usually between 1- 1:30h. This time they sent it in 40 minutes only ))

    I actually enjoy going on a run on the beach or through the woods. Feels more like playtime. Plus I enjoy seeing the animals that come out to say hi.

    I’ve had a cold and haven’t had an appetite ha.
    Maybe I can keep it.

    I’m on bike now.
    Back is feeling a little better.

    Oh, I wished I had woods or a beach in my proximity. I mean, there are some woods, but it's 20 minutes away with the car. I got a huge park in front of my apt building and I jog there sometimes. You gave me a great idea to go jog in the woods sometimes.
    Seaside is about 3 hours away from me, ugh.
    You're lucky!

    PS: My favorite way of working out is playing tennis. I need to get a membership again.

    Worked out at the gym for an hour today: stairmaster, treadmill, leg curls, crunches machine, hip adductor & abductor. Felt great when I was done! I've lost 4 lbs so far.
