Fitness Weekly Discussion

After just over five months of dieting and exercising I finally lost 25 pounds! I've never put in such a sustained effort in all my life and I feel really proud of myself. I've had a lot of really bad things happen over the past few years. While it was all out of my control, I think this was one thing that is really positive that I could control, so maybe that's what has been motivating me.

Honestly, I'm kind of bummed that no has noticed. It's not a big deal but it would feel pretty validating. Regardless, I feel better than I have in a long time.

I've also been dealing with lower back pain (sciatica) through all of this, and it was extra challenging navigating that while still trying to exercise. Thankfully that has been improving steadily as well.

I still have about 5-10 pounds to lose, and then I have to start thinking about changing my focus from weight loss to just maintaining and being healthy.

I’m so proud of my Twizzles now!!

@kfwyre I just wanna ping you to show those off hehehe.

I’ve been practicing them on and off the past few weeks and as I said in the last fitness thread I’m finding actual balance and feeling some progress there. Today I asked a friend to film me and when I saw them I was actually shocked at how good they looked!

Oh and I’m having so much fun dancing on the ice now. I danced on Stromae’s Santé today after @cfabbro’s recent post reminded me that song. exists. It’s a great song to dance to.

Aaaand … I’m getting a dance partner starting January! In the last timasomo I said I’d love to participate and make a choreography, but a month wouldn’t be enough. Well, this is my entry in what we will call timasoye: by the time the next one comes around, I’m hoping to have a couples dance choreography done, and a video for Tildes :)

And it might even not be shit!
