How does it feel to lose weight? - Weight Loss Vlog - Eating Habits Update - Elanor's Journey #31



This week I'm more or less surprised about how I'm feeling. I nearly forgot to make this video, but here you go. I will update with you on my eating habits regarding lower card diet and overall swapping starches out for better foods.



How does it feel to lose weight? In the last months I have lost weight but I didn't feel anything. Is this normal?

Today I'm drawing to honor the 7th season of the Game of Thrones TV-Show, #SansaStark, daughter of #NedStark and #CatelynStark, leaning on the #weirwoodtree in #Winterfell. A free interpretation. The #celticdesignsymbolises Sansa's inner world. She was born and raised in Winterfell in #HouseStark ( #Wolf ), promised to #Geoffrey #Baratheon ( #Stag ), caught in the ranks of house #Lannister ( #Lion ) - in the branches sits a #mockingbirdrepresenting #PetyrBaelish ( #Littlefinger ). This video shows my colouring with different watercolor techniques and the tracing of the lines in the end.

Have fun devouring the new season of A Game of Thrones!

I particularly like to draw Celtic designs with Celtic knotwork and images of Norse mythology and their mythical creatures. For example, Celtic crosses, ornaments and even natural spirits.

�� Rant: Everyone knows how to lose weight! - Elanor's Journey #29

Everyone I meet seems to know what the best way to lose weight is. I'm so tired of it. Whether they want to sell me some product or just tell me their life's story, opinion about nutrition. Sometimes they also only dream about the perfect lifestyle without even having the guts to look at their own life.



In this video I had to rant about this - I'm going my own way and I'm doing great. Just sometimes it makes me mad.



Go out and enjoy the beautiful summertime in nature! Thank you for watching!

How much weight did I lose this month? - I'm so happy!!!�� - Weight loss ...

Stepping on the scale today I'm overwhelmed with my weight loss progress. This weight loss journey really starts to be real. I never ever expectec loosing more than half a kg per week - even less.



But doing my monthly weigh in at the end of June after all the stress I had: the result was pretty positive and shows and motivates me to keep doing what I'm doing.



Tracking my food, reducing liquid calories, no grains for breakfast and all the work on my mindset have absolutely paid off for once.

😔Discovering my real relationship with food and binge eating - Weight Loss Vlog - EJ #26

This week I really learned a lot about myself and my relationship with food - as well as when my tendency to binge eat could strike. I'm late again for my weight loss vlog this week but I managed to do it and my cat, sheep and also the nightingale said hello!

Follow my weight loss food tracking progress on MyFitnesspal: http://www.myfitnesspal.de/profile/ElanorsJourney

I'm a little more careful when following my emotions when I'm choosing foods now as I observed that would eat more than I should whenever I had the feeling, that I had not eaten enough for the rest of the day.

Being in Nature and Enjoying Swimming! - Weight Loss VLog - Elanor's Jou...

This morning I decided to do my weekly Weight Loss VLog outside in nature after going for a swim in our family's small lake. No pressure, just some quality time doing exercise where I feel good about - being in the water makes me feel lighter and stronger - relieved of the troubles.

Swimming is something I would recommend to anyone as heavy as I am to do some exercise without stress, panting or feeling the weight on the bones.

Go out and enjoy the beautiful summertime in nature! Thank you for watching!

Starting my Nutrition Goals again - Weight loss Vlog - Elanor's Journey #23

The IMPORTANCE of your MINDSET

"Your Mindset is your Superpower in your Weight Loss Journey" - this is what I discovered in the last weeks with my 2017 respawn in my fitness journey.

As I plan out my life more and more, I get to a whole new level of control in my life that I never expected. I'm still working on the Nerd Fitness Academy goal and mental health is a huge topic there and everything starts in building the right mindset and daily habits for an "antifragile" lifestyle, as Steve Kamb, the founder of Nerdfitness.com calls it.

For my mental health I'll work at a small meditation challenge for the next 2 weeks.

Getting STRUCTURE into my Life!

So, I'm fired up optimizing my life again!

If your weight loss plan doesn't work out, maybe it's time to get structured: planning your week, looking at your life and see if you are in control can help you with structuring your weight loss journey e.g. by mealplanning / mealprepping, sceduling your workouts to the best time of the week etc. but also to check if you're getting enough rest days.

At least this is what I will be doing nowand I really feel energized again and up to new adventures. First plus was for my husband because I decided, today was the day he would be allowed to sleep in.

My Weight Does Not Define Who I am

After having to go to Germany over the past week end I'm back and wanted to give you a little update. I dreaded being told off for not having lost anymore weight but I somehow really felt, that my weight is just one part of me and does not define who I am and if others like me.

They will of course talk with me about fitness and show maybe their concern about me but this can also be because they want to see me happy and healthy. In no way does this affect my relationship to them though and I won't be a better person, just because I'm a different weight. I'm glad for really being able to feel this.

Yours,
Elanor

Why am I freaking out about my measurements / weigh-in?

OMG - I'm freaking out - why am I shaking just because it's weigh-in day?

I feel shattered although the results are not so bad - within 6 weeks I've gained so much endurance and I have made only little changes to my diet to not starve myself - yes, I've gained 1,5 kgs (no wonder) - I've lost 2 centimeters around my hip and gained some in my tighs - is this good? Seems that's where the new muscle power is coming from.

Phew - I really need to write this down and make my video because I'm really anxious about all of this, seeing my weight go up and my mind is shrieking: "Oh my god, this is so terrible, I don't want this, I want my fat to go away, leave me alone!!!"

I mean, I would be the last person on this planet to complain if I had 20-30kgs to loose, but being so terribly obese while I love sports and being outside so much really really hurts me! I have tears running down my face now.

It seems I don't take this weight loss thing serious enough!

But I just want to find a way without starving myself, with having the same energy as I have at the moment.

Why is this weigh-in/measuring day freaking me out so much? Can anyone relate?

Please send me any support you have to keep me going, trusting, and not jumping off the wagon. I had 6 weeks and it feels like I've screwed them, although I was so confident - how can the stupid numbers not reflect that?

I feel so alone ... next week I will go to Germany and I will be anxious all the time again if anyone remarks me not having lost anything. I'm so tired of it. It's not the only reason this is depressing but it's just that I can't change anything anymore ...

Screw it!

What am I going to do next - what are my conclusions about everything?

*taking a deep breath*

1. I WILL STAY ON TRACK!
I will keep exercising - everyday.
I will continue mealplanning.

2. I WILL START TO SCEDULE
I will scedule workouts, mealplans AND ALSO the weigh-in/measuring - this will help me to be more serious about everything I think and to plan out more smartly.

3. I WILL WORK PRIORITIZING
It seems that I sometimes don't take nutrition for serious and plan everything how I REALLY WANT IT. This is true to other things in my life too.


Was there anything else this week?

My dog, that I had for over 14 years, died, I had visit from relatives I haven't seen in a very long time, I had some arguements with my husband, we still had car problems and no money in the bank this week again. At least the thing with the money has been cleared. The cars are running again but there's still some things to get checked.

Considering all of this I really could be happy that my progress hasn't stalled even more, normally I would have fallen off the wagon far sooner.

AND I RODE MY BIKE TO WORK LAST WEEK! HUGE LEVEL UP!!!!

So, overall I'm still happy - it's just the measuring day that got me freaked out - but thanks to this blog I have somewhere I can reflect on this and not push it down without looking at it.

Thank you for all the support I already have received - you're so great!!!!!

You keep me accountable - 7th video already in 2017!!!!

<3

Next week I will be in Germany for work and I don't know if I'll be able to write or film, but I will post something anyways - maybe make some nice footage there.

Yours,
Elanor

Easter Video - and the coolest home-gym inspiration

Hey everyone!

I'm a little late with posting this video (but I'm happy it came out at the right time) and the quality is really crap - but here it comes:

Now, I'm so happy because I've been sticking to my weekly updates for 6 weeks now and my YouTube-Channel really starts to start off because it seems I got noticed by the YouTube algorithm for doing videos regularly. This channel is some kind of an experiment for me too to learn about filmmaking and web-marketing (without pushing to hard) and it seems to start moving - although my video quality really is not good at the moment.

Anyway, I was subscribed by several people and one of them made really inspiring videos about his Backwood Workouts and I wanted to share them with you - let's get creative making our own home gym ;-)

What if life is a test?

Hello my fellow Rebels,


here goes this weeks
UPDATE:

this week really was full of challenges; our car broke down, my husband got sick and I had to do all the farm work alone, the money didn't arrive the date it was planned and everyone in my family was really busy with their own work. I was left with all my farmwork alone ...

BUT!

... that way I was active everyday and more or less got all my goals in and this really surprised me because I was really struggling.

Even mealplanning finally starts to get easier and we had got 2 meals left over so we were able to go 1 more day without shopping. As I'm writing this, 2,5 kgs of chicken is baking in the oven for tomorrows family meeting. Yes, I'm especially proud of how I'm doing when life tests me.

This week I will leave out the question of the week, as I just want this update to be "out there". ;)

Having a daily workout routine really seems to be working out for me - this is what I feel woud be my answer for last weeks question.

Thank you for checking out this post!

Yours,
Elanor

Do you have to work out daily?

My Short list of an Update:

Question of the week: Do you also work out daily and just rotate the type of exercise or do you rest completely and then push with more intensity the other days?
My weekly weight loss journey's update: 2 weeks challenge is over - drinking water is becoming natural to me - mealplanning is still a struggle but it keeps getting better and I will find ways to improve.
Biking is great - much improvement - workouts done - did workouts daily this week!

Fitness Marshall Cardio Workout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX9R-...

Last weeks question:
Laptop really put stress out of my life and I feel much more productive and less stressed.

Next weeks new habit:
- working out everyday with strenght training every 2nd day.
- continue smart mealplanning

Yours,
Elanor

Changing my life in the right places - the importance of optimizing my surroundings

UPDATE:
My energy levels are rising because of the workouts and the biking every morning - it's the best thing that happened to me in a long time! Weather will be good the next days and maybe I'll even hop on my mountainbike and go for a ride outside!

The mealplanning experiences are mixed - I still struggle with planning everything ahead and doing the shopping at the right moment. But I feel that when it's challenging this means that I'll expand my knowledge - next week I will report how it turned out.

AND: there was a huge level up in my life: I bought myself a laptop again so I'll be able to work from everywhere. Especially because I tend to eat when I'm bored and sitting around. Now I have my own workspace with me and can do something else.
It also helps me decrease stress and pressure around my worktime as I'm not longer tied to my desktop PC at home for my freelancing work but I can take most of the things to other places - outside even!

MY QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
On your fitness journey, what changes did you make to your environment be it workspace, gym or household? Were there specific items you purchased that helped you stay on track on the long run?

As always, I would be delighted to read any answers or inspiration on this topic.


Now for last weeks question, where I was asking, how to deal with the expectations of others and the fear of letting them down.

I'm so happy I adressed this question as I was able to reflect on everything and was pointed into the direction. Was it a coincidence that this week I saw a new video of both ModernHealthMonk and ObesetoBeast talking about this topic?

John Glaude from ObesetoBeast mentioned in his video, that his family and friends saw a "beacon of hope" in him, as he was losing weight and that he would stress out about not letting them down too, ordering salad in the Restaurant when he was with them, to show them, that he was eating healthy, even if he would be binging alone at home afterwards. Wow, that was so well described and really struck me but also made me understand, that I'm not alone with my thoughts and that others have been through this and have made it and so he'S some kind of "Beacon of Hope" also for me.

And then there was the nice reply of lynneta in the Nerdfitness forums that I will cite here:

Thank you so much for this! I will see if I can get that book!

This made me realize that all of this comes down to one thing: SELF CONFIDENCE and this is something I have to work on on my own. If I don't trust myself and if I permit myself to let myself down, I will of course be afraid of being judged.

Alexander Heyne of ModernHealthMonk opened his video in saying that

and it really makes the point I think. How should others look up to you or me when we don't even have faith in ourselves and in what we are doing? If we aren't strong enough to stand up for our beliefs and are not proud to talk to someone else about it?

We should look forward to those bullys and want our journey to be challenging and not too much straight forward!

But to walk ahead, we have to train and know where on the path we are standing. Working out, even though it's more cardio I'm doing at the moment, helps me a lot to gain self assurance.

Let's see how this adventure unfolds!

Thank you so much for reading!

Yours,

Elanor

What others expect of my weight loss? - Update and question of the week

BRITA Waterfilter

I promised an update of my 2 weeks challenge in the Nerdfitness Academy Respawn 2017 and here it comes:

It went really well and I could stick to most of the habits even during my stay at my family's in Germany - it's small steps to get used to drink water again and also the other points I could check off - only 1 workout remains.

I directly went into new goals for this week wich will be to continue mealplanning for 3-4 days ahead. I still struggle with it a little and I don't get the portions well balanced but I'm working on it. I rewarded myself getting a BRITA Waterfilter which is really cool and I love drinking water even more as I prefer water without all the "extras" in form of chlorine, metals etc.

Additionally, I decided to adress 1 question a week here on my blog and also on my YouTube-Channel. There's always so much on my mind and I have no one except my online community I can talk to. At the end of the week I will resume what I've found out.

This week my question is to understand better how to deal with the expectations from others around you regarding weight loss. 

Was it a mistake to speak openly about what I'm doing with others? Now, I have several people on my back always watching out when they meet me to see whether or not I've gained or lost weight. This is really stressful and I start feeling afraid of deceiving them. Of course this is also some kind of motivation for me but it also starts to be of a pressure.

I already did damage my metabolism and also my menstrual cycle in the past just by pushing to hard and starving myself. Now is time for doing things slowly but steadily and accepting myself, getting the proper mindset and starting again. But I have no way explaining all of this to everyone - of course, in my close family, everything is ok - I'm really glad about that. But my boss at work for example, really expects me to lose weight ...

Do you have any ideas or experiences about this issue? I'm glad for anything!

Thank you for reading or watching!

My next goals are to hop on my hometrainer bike every morning for 2 weeks and continue mealplanning.

I'll check in with you soon!

Regards,
Elanor

Questions About Weight loss #1: Medical Check, Thyroid, Hormones, Low Impact Workouts? EJ #13

Thank you for inspiring me to revive my weight loss YouTube-Channel as it felt so good to talk so openly to the camera and knowing my questions out there now. Thank to the videos of Davedoesweightloss, Obesetobeast, Nerdfitness, LiveLeanTV, ModernHealthMonk and many more (see the links below) for inspiring me and guiding.

With this video I want to start to get answers to questions that are going through my mind. Please feel free to answer and/or give me your opinions to the questions. I will definetely get back to you. To remember, here are my questions shortened in written format:

1. What would you advise me to get tested at the doctors especially thyroid related - which hormones are to betested? What other exams can be helpful?

2. If you yourself went to the doctor to get checked for similar reasons, what were the symptoms which got you to think that something was wrong with your hormones?

3. Eating more to weigh less? What's going on with the TDEE, reverse dieting, and to low calory diets? Any experiences welcome!!!

4. Meanwhile I love working out but it seems that I'm always pushing to hard - is there any helpful advice to know when to stop? Do you know any workouts that have low impact on the legs? Would biking help?

5. Do you want to see guitar covers?

Please, when responding to any of the health related questions, precise, what background you have with those topics. I'm really interested in feedback and suggestions of any sort, but I need to know whether a doctor is writing or someone with own experience. Thank you so much!!!

Keep me accountable in subscribing and checking in with me next week.

And please excuse my English - I do my best, because I feel at the right place in the English speaking community but I'm no native speaker.

Finding my BIG WHY - Nerdfitness Academy Respawn

With beginning of march 2017 I'm respawning my fitness journey in the Nerdfitness Academy - taking time to go through everything again - looking for what I missed and where I didn't pay attention in the first time.

3 years ago, around this time of the year, I started my fitness journey and started to get seriuos about it! I want to write down what my motivation is today ... so many things have changed ...

• I want to be able to do and enjoy the things I LOVE: horseriding, biking, dancing, hiking, running ... I miss all of this so much
• I want to live and do what I can to preserve my body and not die because I neglected it. I love life so much.
• I want to look and feel good and not always stress because of fear of being judged as lazy and unhealthy - because that'S not true!
• I want to celebrate life and also show others that the world is a beautiful place and everything is possible.
• I want to be able to have children and be there for them, give them a home and see them grow up. The same for my husband and my horses.

Wow, it was tougher writing this down than I expected. 

I need some emotional break right now ...
