Yep, Aunt Flo decided to visit me, a week early. 😠 Now I'm 51. I've been in perimenopause for a few years now and I'm 110% OVER THIS. I just want this crap to be over. Why can't I just get this over with? UGH. It just makes things harder for these few days. I mean, it sucks the energy out of me for a couple days. I mean I have zero energy. None. Makes it so much harder to get up get down to my home gym and lift weights.
But I did manage to get down there. Day 1 all I could manage is a 20 min walk on the treadmill. That was literally it.
I finally got a lifting workout in yesterday. Chest, shoulders and triceps. Here's my shirt of the day
And the shirt is 100% right. I really don't care what the scale says. I want to be strong and healthy. Ok I do want to be a smaller pant size cause where I'm at now isn't healthy. But I don't have an actual number on the scale I want to see. I just want to be healthy and fit and active. I want to chase my grandkids in the yard and not get as tired.
I've been tracking my macros the last few days. I'm eating a range of calories. Between 1800-2300 a day. Yes, 2300 calories a day. It takes calories to build muscle and that's my primary goal. And I've been slowly losing weight, and inches, when I track at least 3-4 days a week. So it can be done, losing weight while eating over 1200 calories a day.
But no tracking today lol. Wed are a cheat day for me. I mean my show My 600lb Life is on, and I usually pop up some popcorn, and sit and watch those people. There are ones I cheer for and hope they lean into Dr Now's program and lose weight, and then there are the train wrecks who I just sit and watch, kind of stunned, at their lack of progress and behaviors.
Well, I should get up off my rear and go do laundry. I need to get a few things folded and then put another load in. However Friday the 13th part 4 is on, and I have to watch it first lol
