Thanks! Goal weight (more like a goal ballpark) is between 150-160 lbs. 155 would be great, if I get there and want to push it a little more that’s cool as long as it feels mentally healthy, too.

I’ve thought about it, I just can’t get on board yet. I did see that Hallow has a couple of exercise options, so I want to try stretching while praying the rosary.

Yeah, because if I’m eating less meat it means more meat for her! But she actually eats my fruits and veggies, too, so I think we’re just food buddies.

I was thinking of that, but I can’t use it as a timer when I use it for video. I use the iPad sometimes as a timer. The numbers are big enough that I can see them when I squint 😆 I also finally realized the instructions were on the back, they’re terrible instructions but at least me and the orange rectangle are a team again 😄🟧

Thanks Mom ☺️

Goodnight Mom! 🩷

I will, there are always going to be bumps, just learning to keep the momentum. Love you!❤️❤️❤️

😁

I know… but also, I should probably love coffee less.

😘

I thought you’d like that 😁

I do! But listening and doing are different 😅

Thanks Mom! I’m actually doing better now (I have no idea how it happened). And yes, Grandpa definitely knew what he was talking about 😁

Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, I’m pretty sure we got them from Dick’s or Walmart. And a few are older plates and bars we adopted from gym friends.

That’s awesome, I’m glad you’re enjoying it! This is actually a lot of fun 😁

Thanks! In general my energy stays good, but I think that’s because I’m consistently over 😅 But as long as I’m progressing in the right direction, I don’t sweat it. The proof is in the progress 😁

Thanks Mom❤️ I love you, I’m glad you like the channel. It’s a lot of fun, but I still miss you ❤️‍🩹

Thanks! 😊

Nah, you’re all good 😘

I get that, I should probably talk about it, but part of this is finding the sweet spot between discipline and flexibility. Being rigidly disciplined causes me to burn out, and too much flexibility just becomes overindulgence. So finding that middle ground where I’m like “Whomp whomp, I ate an ice cream covered waffle at a festival and now I’m going to work out” is challenging, but worth it.

😁Thanks! I’ll be happy to see you around! I enjoy resistance training, too, and kind of change it up depending on the day. As I get fitter I’m looking forward to those heavier weights!

Mmmmm… empty calories… 🤤

I totally get that, but at the end of the day I’m kind of a sugar junkie. So part of this has been freeing myself from that. Fruit helps, but honestly? Upping my protein has been the biggest game changer to preventing sugar cravings.

I do, no worries! I think at Day 90 I’ll post my “catalyst” pic that got this started back in March. It is… unfortunate. You’ll see what I mean. But honestly, I feel awesome. I do have excess still, but even that’s different. Better circulation, muscle is building underneath. And in my mind, fat isn’t good or bad, it just is. But being a fatty (nickname with me and my McFlurry friends) is a state of mind. A really fun state of mind that I still want to visit, just not live in anymore.

That stinks! 😢 were they selling some kind of post-menopause product of something? I always think you’re beautiful 😍

😂🤣 I love you so much 😆

I’m working on that 😄 but I’m going for candor, especially with myself. So sometimes when I realize I’ve been unconsciously doing something and I realize what it was from (like being self-conscious) I feel like it’s ok to call it out. Like: If I’m hiding it even from myself, calling it out on here helps me accept that part of me, too.

Entirely

100% it’s hard to not ignore signals and smash through though? Right?

@@GetfitStayfatWhatever yes. Agreed. But a bad tweak can end your sessions for weeks. I'd rather stop voluntarily than because I have to.

Thanks! I’m gonna have to look up Arnold Press later though 😂 Most of this is me going “Oh good, I can move my arm like this.” And then I name it based on my best guess 😆

Thank you so much 🤗

Thanks very much, I’m glad you liked it!

It’s the device thing 100%. But I will try the honey with cinnamon. I think I need to figure out how to stop procrastinating?🤷🏻‍♀️ we’ll see 😘

@@GetfitStayfatWhatever that is an age old question. Lol

Thanks 😘❤️

Exactly 😎 I wanted to do more but apparently “copyrights” are “important.”

@@Gunnar-Peterson thanks! 😊

@@jeaneaton1961 Rob! 🤣

@@Wizardof I started this in March but only started videoing last month. I’m not morbidly obese, but I’m not fit and am carrying more than I want. And it’s close enough to the edge that health is a concern. At some point I might do a video with my… “oh shit” photo that let me see how far I’d gone. But I want more progress first.

@@quintincarter1865 Thanks 😁 Can’t make progress without a starting point, and I’m actually pretty happy with myself. But I would like to see me with abs 🏋🏻‍♀️

Visible abs are totally my goal. Too. Just stay consistent. Even if you just do one exercise. Also Diet is the most important part 80% diet 20% working out

I actually started my journey with a dopamine fast. I took everything off the table sugar, smoking, drinking, social media. I took cold showers. I had to change everything to get started

@@quintincarter1865 That’s where I have a hard time. “Abs are built in the kitchen!” I’m like… but… how… but how much do I have to work out to make that not true?”

@@quintincarter1865 I’m seriously considering it. But also, this channel has been such good motivation, and it’s social media. But also, it’s 1:16 am as I’m writing this so maybe a dopamine fast is really really in order. Minus uploads.

@@konnelius thanks! And yeah, sometimes that algorithm gps gets wild 😆

@@quintincarter1865 how do you mean “with the scapular plane”? I fell a few months ago, it started then, so I appreciate the advice.

@@quintincarter1865 it’s just nice to have this motivating me. Realized fairly recently that I’m probably diagnosably ADHD and it has answered some questions, as well as given some hacks, regarding consistency. And I have a rooough picture I took in March that kicked it off. If/when I get to 155/160 lbs, I’ll share it on here. You still gymming it up?

@@GetfitStayfatWhatever I know I have some sort of issue. Maybe not ADHD, but it's hard for me to focus. I feel your pain there. CBD helps my brain settle.

@@GetfitStayfatWhatever Yes, still in the gym; 5 Days a week minimum. I went from 265 to 220ish. My goal is 180-200. I'm semi jacked. Abs are almost visible. I was yoyoing pretty hard by cutting calories but I would eat and go up and down. Now my calorie deficit is not as drastic and the weight loss is slower but consistently trending down instead of yoyoing. So slow and steady wins the race.

@@quintincarter1865 yeah, I have a few things I’ve tried, but I find fatigue is my biggest factor so far in a lot of things. Awesome job keeping up at the gym!

@@quintincarter1865 😁 never bad to hear, thanks Quintin
