4 month weight loss journey (June to October)

Day 9/120

RICE (Resting, Icing, Compression, and Elevation) is helping! I woke up this morning and the pain has subsided, but not quite all gone. I'm still limping but now I can sit down and the bend in my knee doesn't hurt as bad. I'd say the pain is at a 3-4/10. I think one more day, then I can get back to normalizing and then potentially by the end of the week, get back into exercises.

Diet has been pretty consistent. I did eat a bit of brown rice yesterday, but didn't overindulge so to me, that's a big sign of habits changing. Today, I will be eating more veggies, but I'm happy with what I've been eating as of late.

Domina came home yesterday and surprised me with some new clothing that I will be wearing for Her in the privacy of our home. Maybe when I get the courage, I'll post full body shots (or when She commands me). But that will probably happen after this journey.

 

Good luck to you! We can do this together!

 

Day 10/120

Yay! We hit a double digit day!

Woke up this morning and the pain has subsided to about a 2 on the pain scale. I think one or two more days and I should be back to normal. Them I'll start reading back into my exercise routine. I really was hoping to have progressed with the exercises, but things happen. It's all about if you fall back, don't give up and keep moving forward with your goals in mind!

I've been upping my veggie intake and reducing my probs since my usual prom could feed three people. I just have to remember to have a small snack between my main meals to help with the hunger pains.

Also, I've now been locked for 24 days and Domina has no intention of unlocking me anytime soon.

Full steam ahead!

 

That's amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience!

 

Day 11/120

Happy Fourth of July for those in the US!

The pain in my knee is almost non existent. It's very exciting to be able to walk with a slight limp. I think tomorrow, I should be good to go! However, I will have to remind myself not to go all out when I get back to exercising and to ease back into it.

As for the diet, I slipped a little bit and ate some french fries, but I did limit the intake as my kids are the rest of the fries.

 

Day 12/120

I am now walking with no pain in my knee. I can't apply any pressure on my knee but I can walk around like normal. Going to do a bit of light walking this weekend to help prep me for the upcoming week of exercises. Then back to some of the core exercises I've been doing as well.

Hopefully, my updates will be more exciting in the upcoming days since I'll be more active.

Hope all of you are keeping up with your routines!

 

Day 13 & 14/120

The knee is feeling better, however, I am discovering that applying any pressure to my knee cap causes a sharp pain so I have to be more cognizant of where I place weight.

Diet is still going fairly well. I did have a couple things off plan, but kept it very reasonable and I'm still in taking more veggies than I would normally do. Todays lunch is a grilled chicken salad.

Sorry I missed the update yesterday, but it ended up being a really full day with taking the kids to a theme park.

Keep it up!!

 

Day 15, 16, and 17/120

Kind of fell off the wagon with the updates, but I'm back now! I did take a weigh in picture (see attached) on Monday and I'm pleased to say that I was the same weight. The reason that I was pleased with that is because the first weigh in saw me drop 5.3 lbs which could be very dangerous if that stayed true. Now, after 2 weeks, I've lost 5.3 in total, which is 2.65 lbs a week which is a bit more sustainable.

I will say that I haven't been waking up as early as I want because I started playing a video game at night that takes me to about midnight, so waking up at 0530 was going to be very difficult. I just need to learn how to juggle my time appropriately.

Diet has been the consistent part of this journey even though I had a couple of "cheats". Just need to tone that down a notch and I'm good with the food intake.

Let's keep getting it!!

 

Oh hmm... The weigh in pic didn't attach so here it is.

 

Day 18, 19, and 20/120

I had a discussion with Domina about our schedules moving forward and we will both be waking up at 0530 but workouts will alternate between me and Her due to one of us needing to stay back in case our kids wake up. So starting Monday, Domina will work out in the morning, then I will follow up either afterwards or at lunch time.

Getting back into the swing of things is proving to be a bit difficult but what I have found to help is having additional support and push to motivate me to do what I need to do. I don't think I had lost any additional weight this week, but one thing that I've been noticing is that some of my pants are starting to feel a bit loose. I'll take the small victories!!

 

Day 21-29/120

Wow! It's been awhile since I had an update. So here we go!

During the last week, I had a ton going on at work so everything pertaining to myself was put on hold as I was working some crazy hours. In my free time, I spent with my wife and kids. I think the limited activity with them did me well. On the weekend, we went camping and I did a lot of walking and lifting to get the camp set up for the family. Then we went to the beach and walked quite a bit there. Overall, it was a pretty active weekend.

Today, I weighed in and am down another 1.3 lbs, putting my whole weight loss at 6.3 lbs. I still have my weight goal aspirations so I need to kick it up a notch! I'm not too behind track, but it could easily go the other way.

As for working out, I have been taking it easier because of my knee, but now I can add some weight when kneeling so I can get back to some of my core exercises.

Let's goooooo!!!

 

Week 4-5

So looks like my updates have gone to a weekly basis, which I think is fine. Aside from the daily foods that I partake daily and getting back to my exercises, not too much has changed. I haven't reverted back to eating like I did when I started this journey so things are changes. I'm also noticing that some of the clothes I normally wear are getting looser. The problem there is that it's my pants are the main culprit of my weight loss and causes my pants to drop low to the top of my hips which may inadvertently display the panties I'm wearing. I find myself either pulling my pants up or stretching my shirt down to make sure I'm not flashing anyone my thong. It is a nice problem to have and when it becomes more problematic, I will look for better fitting clothing.

As for my weigh in on Monday, I'm down again! Again, not a crazy weigh drop, but down nonetheless.

I've restarted my noontime work outs and will start joining my workplace Yoga class to alternate with the body workouts during noon.

Starting week 6, I'm going to start incorporating a two new routines to see what happens there, Corset Training and daily Bustea drinks.

No more injuries please!!
