Ello!
Another good week this week with another couple of lbs off. I have now hit 60lbs! I can hardly believe it - well over half way to 100lbs. I’ve dropped 10 BMI points and have lost 18.6% of my total body weight.
Just think… 60lbs = 10 six pound babies!
This week saw my last Ladies that Lift class - it was great and I’m really glad I did it. I’m looking forward to building on what I have learned now and hopefully will continue lifting well in to the future. The instructor gave us all a little key ring with a mini kettlebell, dumbbell and barbell as a thank you.
Ladies everywhere - no matter what age and size you are I cannot begin to explain how beneficial lifting is for us - especially those of us over 40. Aside from all the ways it helps with blood sugar regulation, it also helps with our bone density, joint health, preventing muscle loss, mental health… You won’t get bulky unless you spend years training and eating a high calorie bulking diet. But it will make a hell of a difference to your health!
I’m having to go to the office a lot more frequently - so I’m getting a lot more steps in at the moment, which is good. I actually managed 10k steps yesterday for the first time in a long time. This has taken months of building up my stamina since rehabbing my anterior pelvic tilt. This time last year, the lower back pain the tilt was causing was preventing me from walking more than a 100 yards at a time. I’m now able to walk freely for as long as I want. I’ll never take walking for granted again. All in all either the weight loss and improved fitness, I’m starting to feel good. I no longer fear times when I may need to make effort - I can just get on with life.
Mounjaro wise - no symptoms. Appetite suppression is low, but enough to keep me on track and losing. Provided things stay like this, I will stick to 5mg. I think if I struggle in Autumn/Winter when we all want more hearty foods then I may look to increase the dose.
All in all, a good week. I hope you are all having a wonderful bank holiday and getting out in the fresh air. Take care.
