Still seeing little to no difference in terms of Weightloss. I know it’s been two weeks but I would like to think the scale would move just a little. I’m definitely feeling just a little pressure to see some sort of progress, any sort really. I’m in a calorie deficit but I refuse to meal prep and cut out things I enjoy eating. It literally makes meal time so daunting, depressing and miserable. I want to enjoy fueling my body. I’m in a 500 to 300 calorie deficit. I’ve also upped my workout from 20 minutes to 35 with stair stepping. Still focusing on cardio because what’s worked for me in the past. I don’t want to quit. I want to continue to show up and continue to work hard but it’s frustrating when you don’t see anything moving on the scale. In other news I went on a date! It was miserable but I’m determined to put myself out there and make an entertaining “dating wrapped” at the end of the year for my friends. I figure that nothing hurts going on like a single date a month. It signals a lot of growth for me as a person. Maybe I’m not ready to move fast or like “win” at dating but I wanna start moving. I think it’s good for me and having no expectations other than “go on A date” is great. :)

When pursuing weight loss, the journey can be both challenging and rewarding. It's essential to maintain perspective, set realistic goals, and focus on long-term health over temporary results. Many individuals find themselves struggling with the scale despite their efforts, leading to feelings of frustration. Finding a supportive community or resources can significantly influence motivation and success. Emphasizing intuitive eating instead of strict meal prep may encourage a more enjoyable relationship with food. Incorporating enjoyable physical activities and focusing on consistency over perfection are key. For those also navigating the world of dating, remember that every experience brings growth. Treat each date as an opportunity for learning and self-discovery. Adopting a mindset of no expectations allows one to enjoy the journey without the pressure of outcomes. Whether it's in fitness, nutrition, or relationships, embrace the process and celebrate small victories along the way.
