Blessed Yule to my beautiful followers! ❄️

The holiday season has been a busy one for sure! I’ve maintained my weight despite enjoying some treats, which is all I can ask for ☺️

Like a lot of you, it’s go-time in the new year!! Thinking of you all, I hope everybody has a lovely holiday season no matter what you celebrate🫶🏻✨

Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving!!!

My goal is to stay as “on track” as possible from now until Christmas! Topamax did help me enjoy but not overindulge through Thanksgiving and I maintained which is pretty good to me.

Side note- I’m SUPER anti-protein bar (they taste like chalk to me!) but my office just got these and they’re so good!!!! 9pts but honestly worth it to me 😋

It’s currently 34 degrees in CT and it’s got me feeling frozen like Elsa 🥶❄️ I know it’s only gonna get colder! What’s the temp where everyone else is?

I’m back from my trip! It’s time for a soft re-set before enjoying Thanksgiving ☺️

I did SO MUCH walking! I work in corporate property management and was conducting a site visit so that entailed walking around the property multiple times- up and down 54 flights of stairs total!!! I’m pooped, but it was an adventure for sure and my very first time visiting Oklahoma too

How’s everyone doing today? Happy Saturday!

I hit 30 days tracking yesterday and forgot to share OMG!! Consistency, consistency, consistency! Maybe it isn’t every bite, but at least SOMETHING gets tracked everyday and it’s become a habit again after majorly falling off and that matters

And as of today’s weigh in I’m 9lbs down over the last month 🥳
How I managed to lose 1.4lbs over the last week when I admittedly ate crap a few nights in a row, I have zero idea, but I’ll take it!

Happy Monday! Coffee in hand and ready to go this morning!
I worked from home all last week so I’ll be busy busy playing catch up but it’s all good things.
Let’s have a great week, everyone!

My goal for the week is to make sure to fall asleep at a reasonable time every night! Insomnia has hit me hard the last few nights so I need to work hard to combat it. Sleep is super important on a health journey, believe it or not!

What are some of your goals this week?

Topamax update!!

I’m so glad to share that over the last 3 weeks I’m down 8lbs! The side effects have mostly subsided at this point- brain fog is pretty much gone, the hands and feet tingling only comes once in a blue moon (thank GOD!), but I still can’t do carbonation!
My sweet tooth has still subsided. Not completely, but it’s decreased it a lot which is REALLY good for me because I used to be a “something sweet after dinner is non-negotiable” kind of person, most nights I’ve been passing on it lately. I’ve still been enjoying them, but not on the daily anymore

Rich and spicy foods have been upsetting my stomach, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take sometimes 😅

The carbonation thing is really hard to live with because I’m getting SO bored with just water, even with flavor packets and everything. No matter how I doctor it up I miss my diet sodas and seltzers! Going cold turkey on diet soda has been interesting to say the least, the biggest improvement I’ve noticed has been in my skin! It’s smoother and my rosacea has cleared up significantly.

My appetite has decreased significantly, I rarely snack anymore and the amounts I eat have decreased as well. I’m still working on the brain/body connection, but I’m getting better at stopping eating when my body tells me to and quieting my brain down. This past week I was triggered to binge (post-election stress and personal life stress combined) and stopped in my tracks. I legit bought the binge food on Wednesday and it’s still in my fridge, I told my mom to eat it. I still overate, but didn’t binge and still managed to lose this week.

I’m still learning the ebb and flow of my appetite, it does make meal planning hard, but to lose 8lbs in 3 weeks and feel like I’m still eating what I want is pretty impressive. I’m still tracking on WW, for the record! I think the two combined are a good mix for me. I have my follow up with my doctor on Wednesday, I think I’m going to give this another month 😌

I hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday night! I’m spending it hanging out with my brother and getting ready for the week
