Banshee's Elemental Cosmic Code

[BombshellBanshee]

No one is obligated or expected to actually read all of this lol. Just wanted to log everything for my daily workouts and basic plans. It changes often, so I'll be updating and revising here and there. The more I do a routine, the more I find gaps, or things I need to adjust and will do so as they come. Also, any outdoor activities or swimming, or other adventures that happen away from home gym I will share in thread to keep track of my activities with pics 💖

UPDATE

 

Nutrition

I've been doing great on hitting my macros, and nutrients goals for the last few days. At first, I was a little out of balance, hitting macros/nutrients, but being far too low on calorie goal. I was ending up with still 1200 cal left to be consumed, minus the deficit for fat loss. Now I'm hanging around at about an 800 caloric deficit daily, burning over 700 cal daily. Finally getting into a rhythm. It took me a couple of weeks to see what I need to eliminate or add to find my groove. I had too many trans fats happening at dinner, and too much sodium at lunch, and too much sugar from fruit and berries. I needed to add more vegetables to at least two meals a day, and make sure I was getting enough protein and fiber. I was surprised to find that before, I wasn't eating nearly enough. I feel like I eat constantly now, but much cleaner, and much more mindful of what sources I am getting my calories from. Also, it has really helped me making sure that all the carbs I have, are coming from complex carbohydrates, and not just empty calories. When I have carbs, I also make sure I pay attention to "when" I am having carbs, and that I have activity planned accordingly to use those carbs as fuel, and not store them away as fat. So definitely, no more late night carb snacking. Such simple things they are, but they have made all the difference.

 

Fitness

I already feel my 5lb dumbbells and 10kg kettlebell getting easier. It won't be long before I will be ready to level up my lifting poundage. The bag I carry to work daily used to feel like dragging rocks. Now it feels like nothing at all to carry. Little things like that have been a surprise to me as well. When I started strength training I was focused on the big picture - the visible ones. But being stronger, even though obvious, was not something I really thought about. Now I realize just how much easier life can be, and I've only just begun. I work at a cemetery, and that often involves helping our maintenance lower vault lids, which are typically made of concrete or 12 gauge steel, or lifting bronze and granite memorials and grave markers, up to 60" in length, 4" thick, and 20" in width. Honestly, so often, I've even felt sorry for them getting stuck with me for help lol. Yesterday, I lifted a bronze marker (no granite), alone. Totally by myself. And I even carried it gracefully! LOL At first I thought I had picked up the wrong box because I would usually have to scoot it across the floor, but surprised myself when I picked it up like it was nothing. I have to admit, I flexed in the mirror that night LOL.

 

Overall

I feel so new to this journey, and yet, feel like the results keep coming. Even the small victories feel huge to me. Less grocery trips are very nice lol. My overall health is already improving quickly. I feel like I have already been rewarded with benefits, ones I hadn't even thought about. These little things keep me going, and keep me motivated to not give up. Honestly, I don't even like seeing the words "give up" right now, because that is no longer an option. I've come further than I ever have, and will not turn back. This has given me so much joy. It gives me so much each day to look forward to. When I look in the mirror, I already see significant differences, and never thought some things would happen so fast. All that hard work paying off, feels fkn incredible.

Upgraded to an 8, and 10kg Kettlebell!
