10 lbs down and the biggest change today isn't the mirror, it's how I move through the day. Sharing the mindset shift.
Comparison update posted today at month 3
honestly, the daily movement shift is the part I underestimated too. I stopped planning around where I could sit and it snuck up on me before any mirror change did.
The everyday movement stuff is what I track now too, not the scale. Carrying both trash bags out at once without stopping used to be a whole ordeal for me
Curious what specifically changed in how you move through the day, since for me it was mostly a quiet thing, less bracing before I stood up
What did the daily movement look like before versus now? For me it was stairs, I stopped planning around them without noticing I'd stopped.
The daily stuff is what got me too, tying shoes without the grunt was weirdly emotional
tbh the daily-movement thing landed for me too, but it showed up as standing through the whole commute instead of hunting for a seat. Weirdly the first place I noticed it.
Curious what tipped you off to the autopilot change. For me it was catching myself taking the long way to the mailbox without thinking
What changed for me was the heat, honestly. Miami summers used to wreck me by the time I crossed a parking lot, and now I barely notice it
The autopilot thing is real. I caught myself parking at the far end of the lot without thinking about it, which never would have happened a few months back
what got me was tying my shoes without the grunt. Didn't see it coming at all.
Legs, definitely. I noticed it getting out of a low car before anything else changed.
Mine was knees, not legs or grip. Getting off the floor after playing with my kid stopped being a whole production
The daily movement thing rings true. I noticed it first on stairs, not the mirror.
the everyday stuff is where I noticed it first too. Tying my shoes without holding my breath was a weirdly big deal for me.
The movement stuff snuck up on me too, like getting up off the floor without planning it first. When did you notice the day-to-day stuff getting easier?
The grocery cart lean thing hit home. I caught myself not bracing on the counter to stand up last week and honestly that landed harder than anything the scale has said
Curious what the movement change actually looks like day to day, is it stairs or just not dreading the walk to the car?
