My weight loss journey and diet

As I continue my weight‑loss journey, I decided to grab a few new tools to keep things fun and challenging. I’m still calorie‑counting using my NetDiary app, which tracks my calories, exercise, steps, and overall progress. It’s been a solid tool for staying consistent, especially when you’re on a weight‑loss plan or any kind of structured diet.

On top of that, I deal with PCOS and adenomyosis — both of which make losing weight a lot harder than it should be. So anything that helps me stay active, motivated, and gentle with my body is a win.

I picked up a stepper because it’s simple, effective, and something I can use anytime. It gets my legs moving and really works my lower body in a way that feels good, not overwhelming.

I also grabbed a pedal exerciser with 12 different modes — and let me tell you, it definitely gives me a challenge. The best part is that I can use it while I’m working at my computer or sitting at my desk, so I’m staying active even on busy days.

And because I’ve always wanted one, I finally ordered a weighted hula hoop. I’m excited to try it out and add something playful to my routine.

Oh, and I couldn’t resist getting a vibration plate too. It’s great for circulation, warm‑ups, and just adding a little extra boost to my workouts.

Little steps, little tools, steady progress — and even with PCOS and adenomyosis trying to slow me down, I’m proud of where I’m heading.

I am also on supplements to help my body regulate in which you can read about here!

Sugar Free diet

After years of being sugar dependent and wanting to switch up my diet but my mindset would not allow me to. It was hard. I struggled with the mindset that I am going to switch up my diet, I am going to stop drinking sodas and I felt like I was lying to myself, in which I was.

 I kept saying I am going to get off of sugary sodas and I was going to do this and I was going to do that but in the long run I was not until recently. When I first wanted to do this, it was like I could not. It was like my body wanted it, craved it and I depended on it but now, it has totally changed and now I want nothing but sugar free.

 I have stopped drinking sugary drinks and have switched to Sugar free sodas and boy I can tell the difference. I can actually tell the difference especially if I take a sip of non sugar free drinks. Now the non sugar free drinks taste like syrup. 

I also drink water with water flavor packets and squeeze's  to change the taste since something, I cannot drink water and it makes me throw up. 

I am also working on switching out sugar to Splenda in which, growing up I use to use it also because I was a borderline diabetic and it helped me by taking out the normal sugar content. 

I do not eat cake really and it is rare for me to eat chocolate so I do not have to cut that out but I do have to work on pasta and breads in which I am going to work on eventually. I also love a good salad so I have no issue there. 

I have noticed switching to this diet that I do not say bloated like I was. I also am not having pancreatitis like I was since switching and I wake up in a better mood and feeling everyday. I also noticed that I am not dehydrating as much as I would with sugary sodas and I am not battling kidney stones anymore. 

I also found that I am able to eat more now then when I was drinking sugary sodas.

I also am taking Digestive Enzymes to help break down things since I do have the problem where my digestive tract has issues to the point where my system does not digestive well. My GI told me this would help me in the long run and I take it everyday and it helps me also with any discomfort that I feel and it helps me eat a little more then I normally would.

This diet made me feel a lot better.
