What I eat in a day, new workouts, flare ups, progress, etc. The day to day stuff goes here!
Forgot to weigh in. Lazy morning/afternoon, joints felt achy all day and took some meds, then did some walking around in the evening doing errands and walking the dogs at 9. Body felt much better aftermoving around a bit, still noticably stiff and achy at the end of the day though. Ended up eating multiple 'protein' products (not intentionally, just happenedto be that) and still didnt meet my protein goal lol
Weird food day-wasn't hungry at all in the morning/early afternoon so had lunch at 2pm, then a few hrs later i felt like i was starving and still hungry after dinner. First time I've felt hungry like that in a hot minute, but ig that means the calorie defecit is working? Or this was a bad meal combo day. Only mild joint pain today even when walking the doggies! Felt like going for another walk on my own but it started raining :/
Morning weigh in= 439.6lbs
Baby's first flop! Didn't sleep at all last night, took the dogs on a mile walk at 6am, joints a little stiff but nothing too bad. Made GF pancakes for breakfast at 8am, started to feel worse while cooking, and by 10am I could barely walk. Took a Naproxen (500mg), waited 2 hours, didn't do shit, and took 2 aleve and slept for 4ish hours. Still hurt but could limp around the house if needed. Family drama happened and I ended up stuffing my face with crackers and cookies bc it's been a shitty day. taking more aleve at 11pm so i can try showering and go to bed. No food images bc i forgot to take them but idid log everything for cals. 2k isn't that bad of a binge i guess
Writing these blog entries (4th-9th) in post flareup because I did not have the energy to do anything. Barely left bed today and ate a weird mix of pantry and frozen food every time i needed to take meds.

Actually felt okay in the morning. By 4pm, not so much. Took meds and was out by 8:30PM
Worst day of the flare up. Slept almost the entire day or just layed there in pain. took a shower at 3pm, got exhausted, then was able to get up and eat outside around 7PM before going back to bed. Kelly cooked dinner, lowkey probably wouldn't have even tried to eat if he hadn't. Food and water kinda made me nauseous soI had to eat slow.
Felt better than yesterday, meals where the same leftovers from the last few days. Only person taking care of dogs so I was eating meals to take medicine so I could walkthe dogs on their scheduel. Food and water still kinda making me nauseous
Hurt in the morning/afternoon, but I was kinda feeling better (still super tired tho) by evening. Went over my cal budget by a lot from not checking how much some food was and just eating too much of it bc it wasn't making me sick and I could actually eat today. Protein balls are BS tho, they barely upped my protein and do NOT fill you up >:/
Tired but I'm nearing the end of my flare up :D Tummy kinda felt weird all day (not a nauseous or hungry feeling tho) so idk what that's about. Cinnamon toast for bkfast, no lunch but snacks around 4pm, pho dinner at 8ish and PB GF toast for nighttime snack.
Didn't get any sleep the night before (the inevitable slept so much while feeling like shit that now you cant sleep) so today was a weird one with lots of dozing off. Breakfast, snack, smoothie for dinner (it was rlly good and made extra for later ) Ankle and fingies kinda hirt periodically throughout the day but overall pain is okay and I'll probs stop meds until next flare up.
PB toast and coffee, ChikFilA (unexpected lunch from brother & mom), forgot to take a pic of dinner but it was tortilla chips and vegan cheese. Not rlly anything noteworthy. I've been slacking on protein and getting steps in, so I'll probs try getting those up next week.
Trying out a new image format for meals bc i'm worried about running low on space. Fat% was wayyy high from a gluten free cereal I gotand startedeating before I looked at any nutrition or serving size info. Yikes. Twas yummy tho
lowkey don't remember how this day went, adding pics in on the 16th
Felt off today and tired by 5pm, took dogs out for a 12pm stroll and ankle started acting up afterwards, maybe bc of the trail being awkward to walk on. Going to bed at 11pm tonight and gonna resume skipping breakfast (16hr fasts). I haven't been doing that lately and yesterday my meals felt off and I was hingry at weird times.
Felt weird but not in pain today, just tired and maybe dehydrated? Meal prepped some veggies and cauliflower rice. Drank a bunch of water and had dinner around 8pm (forgot to take pics, chicken sandwhich and popcorn/chips) and started to feel better and walked a mile around 9pm. Still tired and went to bed around 11.
Starting to see the random weight fluctuations, yesterday was 436 and today was 432. Meal prep lunch at 12pm and coffee afterwards bc I was feeling tired (but not sleepy tired). I should start taking vitamin D everyday to see if it makes a difference. And maybe drink extra water if I'm outside for long periods of time since we're getting into 100F+ now :/
