Selfie of me after 5K run, a week after arriving from Denver to California. Me sweating in my pink running tank, flushed freckled complexion, dark hair back in ponytail, rx sunglasses resting above forehead, running trail , metro, grass and trees in background.

Applefitness October run log. 200.27 km for the month during 30 runs, 20 hrs & 9 mins of run time at an average pace of 6’02” mins/km. All time best 5k in October 2025 was ~ 26:38 (seconds might be wrong), ran my first half marathon (indoors) during which I improved my 10k best in early October without trying (under an hour of course) log shows past 5 runs, all outdoors 5.00 km Friday 10.00r km Thursday 5.01 km Wednesday 8.05 km Tuesday 7.05 km Monday

Apple VO2 Max graphic in month view High cardio fitness level bolded out to emphasize those scores 34.5 high VO2 Max Score selected to show and bottom of table blocks out the “high” attainment as 2 days in October. There’s a clear dip in the table, I went from extrapolating my daily indoor Denver runs from outdoor generated scores from outdoor runs on travel in July & August to California and Seattle to running outside in Nevada and California in October and Apple predictably floored my scores for not feeding its GPS machine. VO2 max from apple is usually much lower, especially for non-fitness walking. When you run, don’t pause your watch for at least 21 mins if possible as apple will penalize as a break.

#5KADay 511 #running 30:57 5k, 31 October, 200 km running month, 1,843.15 km year for 2025 so far & met a long-term possible unattainable goal for “high” VO2 Max score for this long covid caused #EosinophilicAsthma diagnoses gal who did a #Fit2Fat2Fit take being ~200 lbs March 2023 #Runchat #Runsky

Gorgeous! Looks delicious 😋 👏 👏
If I had started baking during covid my #Fit2Fat2Fit recovery journey would have made it out of obesity still, but woulda have stalled at overweight for sure. I enjoy not looking 46 years old, but I have the metabolism of an old lady now for sure.

Workout history from AppleFitness of 1 hr 44 mins to 2 hr 50 mins, reflecting my addition of abs/arms and recording all my walks, cooldown and PT stretching plus July running competition. This isn’t a sustainable workout regime and will end this month, but AppleFitness is likely to cook up more time intensive challenges that are unsustainable since AppleFitness/applewatch isn’t based on real machine learning.

Applefitness goals silly. During my bout with #Fit2Fat2Fit I was burning 900+ cals a day with 90 min exercise goal. As I returned to fit I had to adjust the calorie 🔥 down to reflect the mere impact of weighing so much less. We have things like work. 2 hrs 2 mins of exercise 14 days/month is daft.

Excellent Cholesterol results from yesterday’s labs

Video screen grab of my physical therapy session for corkscrew setup. Health is mind, body, soul, food — eat, pray, love (self care, fitness, nutrition, sunlight, meditation, good partners/friends)

My #Fit2Fat2Fit #postcovid journey and body recomposition efforts first meant high cholesterol. I moved to a state with poor fish availability and ate more meat - can’t go vegan b/c of autoimmune disorder rxns & chronic migraine triggers. But more #weightloss and the results are in 🥇. #Fitsky

#LongCovid can kiss my but #Fit2Fat2Fit covid journey. A big thanks to all the pharmaceuticals I take now to minimize chronic health problems like B12 IM shots for Pernicious Anemia and Dupixent for Eosinophilic Asthma and chronic sinus inflammation, to name just a couple.

Allegedly only ~ 10% of americans go from #fit2fat2fit again (longterm) without surgery/GLP-1s and the medical community does nothing to link unicorns like me to patients trying to do the same and my big helpers were free fitness/body composition/nutrition/happiness podcasts. #Healthsky #medsky

233 5K Run Silver Medals in AppleFitness (since 1/30/2024)

Today’s #5kADay #run focused on not overdoing it so I can keep #running 5Ks thru a full year of tracking most of them. Today was ~ #233 since 1/30/24, avg pace today 09’56” #Fit2Fat2Fit #EosinophilicAsthma #LongCovidRecovery #Fitsky #Runsky #Fitness. Grit and do it! Started with 15 min walks 1/2023

Experts say that? It definitely helps build muscle, I think it helps quiet appetite, it helps with stress, it helps with sleep….all these things help with weight loss. We should definitely run from “experts” who spread false info. #Fit2Fat2Fit journey w/ fitness walking and #running / #5KADay

Today’s #5KADay #run was a gritty push after yesterday’s #5K #running speed record. Today is recorded 5k run #231 since Jan 30, 2024. I try not to think how high I’d be without the run disrupting move to the Mile High City. Bounced back tho 🥳💪 #Fitsky #Runsky #Fit2Fat2Fit #Fitness #LongCovidRecovery

Insist on better medical care if you had rapid weight gain. Autoimmune disease and chronic inflammation DOES cause rapid weight gain. Doctors are not getting updated education around causes for weight gain/obesity #Fit2Fat2Fit

Today’s #5kaday #run was ~ 30 mins so I turned it into 3.43 miles since hitting a faster overall pace was dashed by an overhead heat duct coming on & me running to prop doors open. 🥺 #Runsky #Fitsky #Running #Fit2Fat2Fit #Fitness #EosinophilicAsthma #LongCovidRecovery

I’ve mentioned in #fitsky post I will share specifics on my #Fit2Fat2Fit journey and I’ve been scared to share the pics/story for before, unhealthiest, and current pic because there’s trauma (harassing workplace violence from whistleblowing) and illness (medical gaslighting, delayed care) involved
