I always poked fun at the idea of exercise making you feel better mentally. Now I'm living proof. Will I be able to sustain this level of effort through winter and after the baby comes? Probably not. But for now I am loving running 6 days a week and doing other cardio on Sundays.

Accomplished a big milestone today. Ran my first sub 30 5k. Today was supposed to be a long run, but with a false start yesterday my mileage was also high for the week. I was also moving today so I could spend two hours plus on a workout 29:31 is the actual time. Took a moment to stop my watch.

Running stats! 5.01km distance. 184 beat per minute avg heart rate. 5:54min/km average pace. 29 min 36 second total time. 468 calories burned.

Today I helped two people in the transgender space. One was an adult struggling to navigate the public system here in Alberta. The other was a supportive parent trying to find electrolysis treatments for their daughter. I'm glad to pay it forward and save them some of the headache I experienced.

I'm feeling thankful today. Thankful we have enough money to take my beautiful tortie to the vet. Thankful I have a flexible enough workplace that I can take vacation time to take her to the vet on short notice. Thankful my boss is understanding of my changes.

Hit what I consider to be a significant milestone in my weight loss. My butt/waist is to small for Torrid jeans. I went from a size 22 to below size 10 (Torrid sizes). Tried on 14, 12 and 10 yesterday. 14 and 12 slid off. 10 had three fingers of space in the band.

"I can't eat anything while calorie counting." Really. I ate this amazing Donair and fries yesterday. Saved 50-150 calories a day during the week. Also ran 20k earlier in the day. Just gotta make something a priority. Only down 102 lbs. What do I know.

I'm so pleased I want to cry. I just finished my fifth and final voice therapy session. I'm now using my femme voice full time. I feel confident using it. It has made a massive difference in how I'm perceived as a woman. I'm thankful for universal healthcare. Up to six sessions are covered.

This is something all Albertans need to learn. Jokes like "oh you're only doing 40 hrs this week, I didn't realize we hired part timers" don't make you look tough. They make you look like you lost the plot around marriage #3. Work to live, not live to work. Look after yourselves y'all.

Do things get better or do we just used to the pressure cooker? I have always felt like I have a vice in my chest at work. Just waiting for something to go horribly wrong. I don't think it ever changes at this point. It's just constantly there with different pressures feeding it.

That's about 5 months without booze. Not sure on the exact day. It was right before my calorie counting though. I miss it sometimes. I miss the glory days of partying all night. This is better though. Better stress management by talking it out and running. No more drinking alone or at all.

Ran my first official 10k race on Sunday! It was HARD! Holy! Running at 11 and on purely pavement is a massively different experience to being finished by 7. Still managed a personal best for the interval! Servus Marathon can't measure. Neither the 10km of the half marathon were accurate.

It's Pride this coming weekend in Edmonton. Pride Parade into a Trans March. I wonder if they organizers have the gaal to include the police in the parade given the previous going ons in 2019. Pride is first and foremost a protest. The police have no place at Pride.

Went clothes shopping for the first time in earnest since I started my weight loss journey. I've gone from a 22 to a 14 in jeans. Crazy part is I'm not done yet. Wonder where I'll end up. I should have measured my waist at each weigh in. Maybe I'll start doing that next Wednesday.

Full time voice work is a ton of effort. When you're worn down and tired or stressed it's hard to keep at it. But it's worth it. I'm so proud of myself for sticking with it. And I'm massively thankful for the speech language pathologist that pushed me to succeed while providing outstanding guidance

Small wins deserve to be shared. I eat two hardboiled eggs, 1tbsp of chia seeds, 100g of cottage cheese and 100g of frozen fruit every day. And the eggs are so BORING. Last two days I added 1/2 a tbsp of light soy sauce to the eggs and they've been delightful. Highly recommend!
