    E3 Improving My Health By Tracking Macronutrients

    Today, I want to share my weight loss journey with you. In August 2021, my family and I moved from San Diego to Chicago to work on improving our health, weight, and lifestyle. While my son’s new family was one reason for the move, our health was the primary concern.

    As a family, we were all overweight, and it was a challenge to change our eating habits. We loved to cook and ate foods high in fat and gluten. My 12-year-old son, who has autism, struggled with eating healthy foods. His love for crackers, bread, and anything crunchy made it difficult to get him to eat healthily. He had texture issues, and it wasn’t until we found out he was autistic that we could understand the root of his eating problems. He had gained a lot of weight over the years, but the doctor wasn’t too concerned.

    Since our move, we have struggled to adjust our eating habits. However, in the last few weeks, I have partnered with my son, who is a certified fitness trainer and part of the First Form family, to work on my weight loss journey more seriously. He had me download an app to track my meals, macronutrients, and pre-plan my meals for the week.

    I’m limiting the amount of fat and calories I intake, as well as carbohydrates and added sugars. My personal plan is a bit extreme compared to most, but I’m confident that I can meet my weight loss goal of 135 pounds by July 2024, or maybe even before.

    Today, April 22, 2023, I’ve lost almost 60 pounds, weighing in at 254 pounds from 310 pounds when I arrived in Chicago. While this journey is still a work in progress, I’m making significant progress towards my goal. I’m grateful for my son’s help and support, and I’m optimistic about the future of my health and my family’s health.

    E2 Self Care Sunday

    In this podcast, I talk about the importance of self-care practices for Sundays. As someone who has worked long hours for most of my life, I know how crucial it is to take time for myself, especially on Sundays. I share some tips on how to practice self-care on Sundays, such as getting enough rest, engaging in physical activities like yoga or running, and doing something that feeds my soul, like meditating or going out with friends.

    I also provide specific techniques for self-care, such as taking a long, relaxing bath with essential oils, lighting candles, and playing soothing music. I emphasize the importance of setting boundaries, saying “no” to anything that doesn’t serve me, and getting fresh air by taking a walk or sitting outside.

    I encourage y’all to prioritize self-care every week and to make it a routine that works for them. I would like to remind you that self-care doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming and that taking time for yourself is vital for your mental, physical, and emotional health.

    Let me know how it goes for you in the comment section!
