:ablobcatbongosit: pfew... It's been a while since I've done this... :among_us_orange_dance:

I just walked an hour on the treadmill. A slow 4,4kmh pace. And a 3% incline for 58 minutes of the hour.

It was a bit hard at times, as my muscles weren't too excited. And I know my back will enjoy PT this afternoon. But, I tried to distract myself and I walked the hour...

So I guess that I'll get my steps in today. Arwen was struggling a bit this morning, so I'll just walk a short walk this morning with her. I need to walk to the supermarket as well, so a short one with Arwen and then a walk to the supermarket after that...

Arwen won't be too happy about not going to the woods, but after three days, she may need some rest. I don't want to overdo her...

I'm currently at 80% of my step goal, so that's good. And I know I need to do better if I'm ever going to lose some weight... 😔

Anywhoo... Some relaxing now...

Catch you all later! :pixy_party:

Ah well... I know it's my own fault. I snacked too much. I exercise less these days. I'm just so tired all the time and snacking makes me feel a bit better...
Until I get to the scale!
When.kt changes so much that it wonders if it's really you standing on it... 😔

I'm doing my best again. But it's not good enough. I keep saying that I am doing the right things. And then I'm hiding the wrong things that I am also doing...

Riding the bike. I feel my leg start to tingle already. Damn, I do need that surgery to fix the hip...
So I will get the dumbbells, and see what my hands and elbow will allow me to do.

Every small thing is better than doing nothing? I guess...

Thank you for your support! It really means a lot...

I'll ask altbot to help with the image, as I'm not good with texts and all...
Alt text was too big for the alt description, so I'll add it here:

The image displays a detailed health and fitness report titled "Measured data" for an individual named Cynni. The report is divided into two columns, each representing a different date: May 2, 2025, and May 3, 2025. The data includes various health metrics such as weight (kg), BMI, body fat percentage, muscle rate, skeletal muscle percentage, lean body mass, subcutaneous fat percentage, visceral fat, muscle mass, bone mass, body water percentage, protein percentage, BMR (kcal), body age, fat mass, water weight, and protein mass.

The weight increased from 81.0 kg to 83.6 kg, with a BMI increase from 28.0 to 28.9. Body fat percentage rose from 29.3% to 31.6%, while muscle rate decreased from 65.9% to 63.8%. Skeletal muscle percentage decreased from 39.9% to 38.7%, and lean body mass slightly decreased from 57.3 kg to 57.2 kg. Subcutaneous fat percentage increased from 20.9% to 22.6%, and visceral fat from 9.0 kg to 11.0 kg. Muscle mass decreased from 53.4 kg to 53.3 kg, and body water percentage decreased from 51.8% to 50.2%. Protein percentage decreased from 14.1% to 13.7%, while BMR remained constant at 1605 kcal. Body age remained at 43, and fat mass increased from 23.7 kg to 26.4 kg. Water weight remained constant at 42.0 kg, and protein mass increased from 11.4 kg to 11.5 kg.

The report is presented in a clean, organized manner with a blue header and footer, and the text is primarily in black with some blue highlights indicating changes. The bottom of the image includes the logo and tagline of "Silvergear Fit," which reads "Know your body better."

#FitIn2025 – April edition

How much, or well, how little, progress will I be able to make in April? Seeing how the previous months went, I am not too optimistic that I'll get the best results and I'll be able to lose a sh*tload of weight. So I guess I'll just be glad when I've not gained loads before the new month will start... It would be nice to finally get below the 80 and stay below it. But somehow my weight seems to be shifting between 80-83 the last few months. I really can't wait till I get that surgery, so that I can recover and, hopefully, be able to start some proper exercises again, without the fear of my leg giving out... So let's see what the stats were at the start of the month... […]

cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/

Every day, I am telling myself I need to do better. And every day, I am a disappointment to myself. Because I am failing to do better. And...It sucks!

Times like these, when I am struggling with both my MH and PH, I really miss having a partner at my side. Someone to hold my hand, just from time to time, to encourage me to keep going. Someone that will nudge me forward, when I struggle to take that step. Someone that's crazy enough to join me to the gym, to distract me when it's busy, to accompany me when I feel insecure... Ugh...

I don't really mind being single. It has some pros too. But, when my health is struggling (and when finances are challenging), it's making me aware that I do feel lonely at times.

I do have Arwen, and she's the biggest help there is. But she can't join me to the gym. 😉 She can't help me to make better choices. Yes, she is a motivator for me on many occasions. But when my body and brain are not feeling 💯 all that well, then she's "just a dog" and she could never "give" me what I need most then...

Thank you to all that support me here! I really appreciate it :blobcatflower:

Well, let's keep going, I know I can do it! :pixy_party:

My weight went up a bit again... 😔
Still within the "limits" that I've been between for the last several months. But also still too high for my likings.
I really need to exercise some more. I need to shove aside the excuses and make things happen again...

A year ago, I was doing so well... I did loads of exercises, I was prepping for the move, my weight was doing well enough...

Since the move, so much changed... Arwen's health, my own health, my surgery will be in 45 days...

I feel tired a lot. I don't sleep too well. But I know I should exercise some more again, as it could help me feel better in so many ways. But it's just so easy to say that I'm tired and not do anything... 😔

So, I'm riding the home trainer now. Just a low setting, as my muscles are sore. But I have PT this afternoon, so that should/could help...

And I'll see if I can work on my gardens some more now. I have my own shovel, so that should help with removing more weeds... It's hard work, my body won't like it. Heck, my elbow still hasn't recovered from the last times that I worked on the garden weeds... 😔 But it needs to be done. It annoys me too much...

Let's ride the bike. Maybe I can do some other exercises after that as well... There is a rower here too... 😇 It's a bit warm here, but I'll just sweat some more then...

Hey ho, let's do this! 💪🏼

I hope this Toot finds you well! :blobcatflower:

I've done my best tonight. The gym was the bare minimum. I wanted to do more, but as I was up early, I went to the gym earlier and it was still more busy.

We had a nice SniffiVerse™ walkies, and yay for the umbrella ☔ as there was some rain on the way back.

I switched clothes and got upstairs. Rode the home trainer on low setting for half an hour. Then I used the abs-crunchy thingie for three sets of ten. And then... I rowed on lowest setting for 200 strokes, almost 1k.

I even managed to, finally, get the protection mats under the rower. I kept thinking "yeah I should do that", so now, it's *finally* done.

I am relaxing on the couch now. Later this morning, I'll go to Germany with mum. When we're done shopping, I will take the dogs to the small woods near my parents. Maybe mum will join me...

Hopefully, today will be a decent enough day. I had a short night, but it was not too bad (just some night sweats again...). So I'll keep doing my best to keep it up. But some resting now... 😊

Thank you for joining me on my journey. :bear_love: I really appreciate all the support!

I am struggling to keep up... I feel more tired, I am in more pain, I feel exhausted and unmotivated. And, I hate it all!

I used to do more in the gym, but now, I just "can't". My leg gives out too soon, and my arms and hands have been too sore to do some strength training.
Arwen and I used to go on longer walkies, which I often followed up by riding the hometrainer. Now, we get home, after a shorter walk, and I just crash on the couch and watch telly/write something for my blog.
I have to "convince" myself that I "need" to walk the treadmill, or ride the hometrainer. But that means I need to change my clothes and get off the couch...
And somehow, hearing Arwen snore after the SniffiVerse™ walkies... It's just so soothing...

I know I can get back to exercising more, once the surgery has been successfully done, and I have recovered. I know I will have "more time" to exercise again, when Arwen has crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge, and I don't have to worry over her anymore. And, then I should be able to "catch up" on some sleep, as I don't need to get out in time for wees and meds and all that. But, I will be heartbroken then, and that will also take time to heal...

I try to keep my weight stable, but of course I would prefer it of it would go down again... But for now, I will just be happy when I don't gain anything.

I wanna write happy toots. Like "look at my awesome progrss", and "see what I did!". But yeah, for now, I will "just" have to share my struggles. It didn't help that, tonight, even though my weight was down, it gave me the lowest health score in ages. As my fat and muscles seem to have "shifted" a lot in just a few days. I *know* that the measurements are never 💯 accurate, but yeah, it's stull a bummer when, one day, you get a decent score, and a few days later, it just sucks. And I don't think I've changed that much in that short amount of time... 🤔

Thank you for supporting me. It really helps me to keep going!

PS.snap is an older one, but I had it on my tablet, and I liked it... I asked @altbot for help, as my spoons are low, and I am struggling a bit with describing this image propely.

I'm tired. I wanna snooze... I probably need it too... But...
I need some exercises as well. I should work on my health. I know it would help me...

So well...

I'm trying to motivate myself to change my clothes and do a short walk on the treadmill at least...

I wish I were less tired. I wish my motivation was more present these days.

But it feels like it's becoming harder, and giving up becomes more interesting. But I know I should not give up!

So, a change of clothes and shoes, and let's do this! 💪🏼

Sorry I've not been sharing a lot here lately.
With my health issues, Arwen's health issues, my emotional and physical state... Ugh...

I've not been busy with my exercises. I've slacked on them. I've struggled with food. I am jut not doing too well at the moment. :parrot_sad:

I'm trying to keep going, to not give up. But it takes a lot of energy to do that. And that's just what I've been missing out on...

My sleep times have reduced. I get either a "good" short sleep, or a nightmare filled longer one. Both don't give me all the energy that I need. Although I prefer the good short ones over the nightmares......

I'll try to get back at things again... I need to do better, exercise wise! 💪🏼 I just made myself ride the hometrainer for half an hour. Now some food, then some gaming?

Hope you're all having a good start of the new week! 🐣 Or, a happy second day of Easter, if you celebrate.

Let's keep up, let's not give up! :bowie_stardust:

Here I am again folks! I really thought I would be doing great, weight wise, as I've managed to snack less/consume less for the last few days. But... Unfortunately, I've also been feeling like crap, so I've exercised less... So I guess what I ate less, I also didn't exercise for... So, when compared, the eaten-burned=over stayed the same.

My weight has been below 81 for a days now. But, it may sound silly, I'd be happier if I could at least get it below 80 and stay below it...

It would be better for me, to carry along less fat and all that... And I know I would like my reflection in the mirror a bit better too.

But these aren't the best days, and I know that keeping it stable is good enough too, considering what's happening...

So, today, I'll try to get some exercise in, even though I feel tired. I just wanna be with Arwen when I'm home, and my hometrainer is upstairs. So I just ride for half an hour and then I rush back to my gall... I hate being away from her... Especially now...

Thanks for all that have been supporting me! I really appreciate it! :bear_love:

It's been a weird few days. Mum's surgery, Arwen struggling with her health, my worries over both...
Mum is home since last Sunday and she's been slowly doing better.
Arwen has her moments, but she's slowly getting older... (if that makes any sense).

As I shared yesterday, this has an influence on my food consuming. This night, the scale was a bit more positive, with a weight of 80,2kg. It's still too much, but I will take it for now. A week ago I was at 82,4 and a week before that at 79,8. I seem to keep jo-jo-ing between the 79-83. And I kinda know all the reasons. But it still bumms me out that, after all these months, I've still not been able to lose some of those kilos.

I know my bad hip is causing me to do less exercises. Because it hurts, because my leg starts to tingle and it looses strength (and that hurts), because I have been feeling less motivated with knowing I need another surgery. I should be working harder, to make sure that I am in a good shape, for when I'll need to recover after June 13th...

And I keep saying that I am trying, and I guess I am, because my weight "kinda" has been "stable" for several months now. But, I was hoping to get below that 80 bit and stay below...

I know looking back is not helpful, but when I see snaps and stats of me back before the move... I do miss that body and those numbers... And yeah, after the surgery and recovery, I should be be able to get back at it... But it won't get any easier.

Mental issues, health worries, the fear of losing a big furry love... It's affecting me in many ways.

The last few days, I feel I have been doing better with my food. So, hopefully, I can keep managing that. Maybe that could make a (small) positive change? :bb:

Thank you for supporting me on this journey. I really appreciate it! :blahaj_heart:

Riding the hometrainer. Arwen wanted the "in-between" walkies, so we had less steps and we were home earlier. As I didn't get to the half hour on the seated bike (I was close but the leg didn't approve), I figured that I needed to get to my hometrainer.

I feel tired. I have a slight headache, as my brain is working overtime on figuring out all that I need to prepare for the upcoming surgery.

Having a date is good. But now I need to get things arranged. I need to be sure I've prepared all that I can, so it will be good when I get home from the hospital.

I hate asking help, and I'll need to do quite a bit of that... So yeah... It will be a hard wait and the insecurity of not being sure if all will go well... Ugh...

So! Riding the hometrainer. Just a low setting. But it is better than lying on the couch watching telly? 🤔

I don't know how long my leg will allow, but every minute is a small win, I guess.

Onward and upward? 💪🏼

The last few months, my health has been stable, I guess. I think it's good that it didn't get worse, not by much any way, but I do struggle with my weight.

I was hoping to lose some weight before the surgery. But somehow, I can't keep the numbers below the 80. I keep on going from just below the 80 to something just below 83. Up, down, and on and on...

While I know it would be better for me to have a weight below the 74 kilos, I just can't seem to manage to get there at the time.

I can't do the usual exercises that I did in previous weight-loss journeys. My leg won't allow it at the moment. 😔 I struggle more with my muscles, with my hands, and I can't seem to get "on top of things".

I want to stay motivated, I really want to lose the weight. But... Ugh... It just seems so much harder this time around.

I feel there is some influence of my dark monster, and I know my hormones are struggling as well. I want to share positive things! I want to celebrate all the little wins. But... It's been so long since I had these wins. :parrot_sad:

I really dislike complaining about my issues. I want to focus on the positives! Get that surgery. Do my best for the recovery. And then... Slowly rebuilt what I lost, and hopefully, I'll be able to do more of my "old" exercises again. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 and all that! 🍀

I want to thank you for all your support! :bear_love: every bit of encouragement makes it a bit easier to keep going...

If I don't hear from the hospital today, I'll need to do the "anxious" thing and... I'll call them tomorrow after the walkies with Arwen. I've waited for two weeks then, and the doc said they'd call "shortly". Two weeks is all I could muster, and now I am just afraid that they'll "forget" me again, like it happend in 2021... Of course, those times were a bit different as Covid19 was wild then. But still, it won't be a bad thing to call and inform about it. I may be told to wait. But... Maybe... I may hang up knowing a date. So I'll have to take that chance...

But today, some relaxing now, and in a few hours, I'll get ready to visit the Zoo. Get some steps in, hopefully I'll be able to enjoy some "quiet" time with the beautiful creatures. 🐅 And fingers crossed 🤞🏻 some more, that I'll be able to get some nice snaps and vids. I know my digital camera isn't the best. But I'll take it with me anyway (battery is charging now), maybe the lightning will be well enough to get some good snaps. As the zoom is better than the one on my phone.

I don't wanna give up! And I will keep sharing my "progress". I'll try to "keep the faith". Giving up isn't an option I wanna chose. So thank you to all that support me here! :kirby_star2:

Well, let's rest some more, so that I can spare/recharge some spoons 🥄, so that I'll have enough energy for the travel to the Zoo, the time there, and traveling back and all that... :blahaj_zone:

Big bummer with the scale this morning. It had gone up again, well, the numbers of my weight, that is...

I know I've been getting less exercises the last week or so. First I dislocated my thumbs again, and I could not use my dumbbells because of that.

And the last few days, I've been "saving my spoons" so I could work on the garden, as I really needed to weed out the garden, and that takes a lot of me.

I know I need to get back to exercising more, but honestly, I've been feeling exhausted and not motivated lately. 😔

Today, I want another hour of work in the garden this morning. I'll need to walk to the supermarket, so that's some extra steps in. But I do feel a tad bläh, and even the higher number of the scale didn't get me more motivated, just because I feel so tired.

Ugh, I wish my body would be better and that my mind would be more positively thinking at the moment, so I could be more motivated to actually do exercises, when my body will allow...

Anywhoo... Let's see how today will go then...

I've been quiet for a bit. There were a few busy days, where the routine was slightly (well, more than that, to be honest) off, and I needed to improvise and adapt. Which meant that I was struggling some. Feeling tired and exhausted. But not getting the amount of (decent) sleep that I really need. 😔

My weight did go down a slight bit. Yesterday it was 79,8 and today it was 80,4. Still too high, but better than 82+. I'm still glad I was able to improve a bit, even with the stress of all the changes...

Yesterday, I worked on the front garden, tried to get out weeds. I worked hard (I think) for about an hour. And then my hands, legs, and back started to fail me and I was just exhausted!

I took some painkillers and I rested in the back garden eith cold drink and my eBook. Which was very nice, even though I felt my body getting sore as I sat.

The garden isn't done yet. Nope. It will need more work for sure! But... That hour I took out loads of weeds. 😊 So it does look better than it did before I started. Even though it still looks rather messy, which I hate...

If my body allows, I'll try to get some more weeds out this early morning. And then I'll reward myself with some gaming after that.

I'm wearing my elbow brace now, because I triggered my "epicondylitis lateralis" (we call it a tennis elbow) and I still had a simple brace for it. So I'm using it every now and then to give some relief to my elbow. The brace is an older one so maybe I do need a new one? 🤔 But the good ones are expensive, and my funds are low this month due to Arwen and the TLC for Skoosh... 😔 So hopefully this brace will do me right for a while longer... 🤞🏻

I have about two more weeks for the front garden. Then I should have some money again, and I fan buy the screen for the ground covering, so that should help reduce the weeds coming back. The screen is not that expensive, but with low funds, everything is expensive unfortunately... 😔

Ah well, let's see what I can manage. I do hope that my hands and arms will heal up soon, as I do miss doing the exercises with them. Although I suspect that hauling weeds and sand with a shovel counts a bit as a workout as well. 😇

Onward and upward! 💪🏼

#FitIn2025 – March edition

The third month of the year. Spring is slowly arriving, or so I hope bringing some better weather. And, hopefully, the better weather will also mean that my body will be less painful... 🤞🏻 This month, I have my hip puncture test, to check for infections, for an upcoming hip surgery. I should get the results this month as well, so hopefully I'll know more about the surgery soon... The bad hip cup is giving me some issues through, that's how we found out it needed surgery to begin with... So it does limit me in the exercises that I am able to do. But, as mush as I can push myself this month, I'll do my best to improve as much as I can. February didn't see too many changes, so yeah... It's making or a bit harder to stay motivated when your results aren't the best... Nevertheless, I'm gonna try... 💪🏼 […]

😅 😮‍💨 😅

Well..... I did it. I did it all...

And now I'm dead! :blahaj_tranga:

Did it all go properly?
Nope.

Did I give it all I could?
Yup.

I'm tired and sore. But... I did it...

Walked the treadmill for half an hour.
Hoovered the downstairs area.
Mopped most of the downstairs area.

The mopping could have been done better. But with my hip and bad thumb, I did what they allowed me to do. At least the floors should be a wee bit cleaner... At least till the next walk with Arwen!

When the floors are dry, I'll have a quick wash and change of clothes. And then I'll be a couch potato till it's time for walkies.

Pixy's Fit Journey is doing ok enough for today!

Heck, during the mopping I just closed all three of the Samsung Health hearts!

Can I get this surgery already? I'm so done with that leg not working properly... And the tingling just hurts and I hate it... It's so bad for my motivation as well. As the discomfort just sucks all energy out of me... 😔

Sorry, I hate moaning about it! But it just gets harder every day to deal with it...

Tuesday around 15 I should get the call. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 there won't be any infection and they can soon schedule the surgery. So I can make arrangements and be done with it ASAP...

But yeah, knowing my luck 🍀, I'll probably have to start on antibiotics first... 😔

I try to keep going, but part of me just wants to give up. Throw in the towel and all that... But I know it will only worsen my situation, so I need to keep doing whatever I can...

Hope you're all doing well! It's almost weekend dears! :60fpsparrot: yay!

One more busy day today, OK, there is just one appointment, but still...

GP at 8, to talk about the bad days I've been having with my ADHD. Where I get such a bad headache that tears form in my eyes. Where I'm so sensitive to sound and light that I need to black out the room as much as I can. That I just can't focus or relax... Someone suggested that, for those days, there may me some medication that could support my methylphenidate. So that's what I wanna ask the GP, and I hope she can help me with that.

Exercises so far:
I rode the seated bike this morning until my leg got too bad, which was about 40 minutes. We had a decent walk with Arwen, slow but very enjoyable. I rode the hometrainer for 30 minutes. I did several exercises with my dumbbells and abs-roller. Short walk with Arwen. And now I've been riding the hometrainer again for 40 minutes......

I'll walk to the GP soon, and back. Then, I'll take Arwen to the Herperduin, where hopefully it won't be too busy. 🤞🏻

After that? I guess I will crash and be exhausted. 😂

Or... Maybe I'll have some energy to play a game... And, of I go nuts, I may see about pulling some weeds :ablobcatangel:

Anywhoo.... Some relaxing now, before I have to walk to the GP (and back). Let's see how today will go...
