What does moving through the day look like now that it didn't before? For me it's stuff like parking farther out on purpose, which I never would've done a year ago.
Your journey
Comparison update posted today at month 3
tbh what's the first thing you noticed going automatic? For me it was standing up from the couch without that little grunt.
The movement thing sneaks up on you, I noticed I stopped planning around how far I'd have to walk. When did the mental shift hit for you, before or after the number moved?
What did the movement shift look like first for you, was it standing up out of a chair without thinking about it?
The stairs thing is real. For me it was carrying groceries in from the car in one trip without thinking about it, and that crept up on me around the same stretch.
What did the shift look like for you day to day? I'm only about 8 lbs in and still catching myself planning around the stairs.
The day I quit planning around staircases was my version of this. Took way longer than month 3 though, so you're ahead of where I was.
How far in are you? I'm around 6 down and still waiting on the bending thing, but the stairs at work stopped winding me last week which was its own weird little win.
The stairs thing hit me around month two, but it was tying my shoes without holding my breath that felt like the real milestone. When did the energy shift start for you?
I'm only a pound in and the mirror shows nothing, but I noticed I stopped planning my route through the kitchen to avoid the tight spot.
The mirror lagged way behind for me too, but the everyday stuff like stairs and carrying groceries changed long before my reflection did. What specifically feels different in your day now?
The day-to-day stuff changed before the mirror did for me too. Getting out of a low car stopped being a production, and that was around month three for me as well.
The movement thing is what I noticed too, bending down to tie shoes stopped being a whole event for me somewhere around month two
What specifically feels different in your day, like is it energy or less aches? I noticed the same shift around month 3 but mine showed up as just not dreading the stairs at work.
The parking lot thing is real. I noticed I stopped planning my route through the store to avoid the long walk
The movement stuff is what I track too, mostly because my knees quit complaining on the Miami humidity walks. What's the one daily thing that changed first for you?
What surprised me was catching myself halfway up the stairs without thinking about it. That kind of autopilot is the real win.
Which daily thing changed first for you? Mine was taking the stairs without planning my excuse halfway up
What was the first thing you caught yourself doing differently without planning it? For me it was taking the stairs at work without noticing til i was already at the top
month 3 was around when I quit parking in the close lot at work, just defaulted to the back one without thinking about it. That mental shift snuck up on me way before any real body change did.
