Oof, I haven't updated since 3/15/16. That was 7 months after meeting my boyfriend. In 5 years we have moved several times, moved in together for the first time, gone thru a few jobs, bought our first place, took a Vegas vacation just as the pandemic was kicking off, got engaged, and now we're trying to plan a wedding and start a family.
Almost 10 years ago, on 9/30/11, I started FatSecret at my heaviest weight: 208. I am now 4 lbs over, at 212. About 2.5 years in a sedentary Call Center job, plus the pandemic exacerbating the health issues, hasn't helped. I'm saddened that I cannot keep weight off without counting calories, but I know I can make this work again now that I have some motivation!
Today, my fiancé and I purchased a pair of mountain bikes from FB Marketplace, as well as all of the gear to jump in with both feet. After some maintenance to make them more sturdy and more comfortable, we took our Maiden Ride in a nearby neighborhood (3.93 miles) in ~95 degree heat! My new fitness watch was showing anaeroic for 2/3 of the time, and "extreme" (163 to 181 bpm) for the other 1/3.. kinda scared me a bit, since I knew I was shocking my lazy, sedentary body into exercise...but I'd really rather not have a heart attack at 39! That being said, once the sun retreated, we went out for another 3.1 miles for a total of 7.1 miles on our first day back on bikes in two decades.
It felt really great! Tons of motivation to slim down with planning to go on our first cruise by the end of the year, and the upcoming wedding next year!
