Brian starts exercise again; November 11, 2025

November 11, 2025

Yesterday felt like a real shift. I woke up without a hangover, got in a solid 60-minute ride on the exercise bike, and stayed committed to Coach Lisa’s skincare routine. My weight crept up a little to 231.1 lbs, but I didn’t let that discourage me. I slept well—my score was actually “good,” which almost never happens. Most importantly, I didn’t drink.

Today I’m back in the office and feeling focused. I’ve planned a run around 9:30 AM, want to stay on track with my diet, and of course I’ll continue my skincare ritual. I also need to spend time learning WordPress.com better so I can keep building my online presence with confidence

⚖️ Weight Tracker and Progress

Day 3 Starting Weight: 231.1 lbs

BMI: 36.1 (Obese Class II)

Total Pounds Lost: 0.6 lbs (since Day 1 baseline)

Pounds to Lose to Reach 165: 66.1 lbs

Men’s Pants Size: 38 (tight fit)

Coach Bill still estimates that reaching a women’s size 14 will require losing about 60–70 pounds, bringing me to around 165–170 lbs. That’s not just a size change—it’s a full-body transformation in posture, energy, and confidence.

🩺 Coach Bill’s Brutally Honest Health Assessment

My BMI remains in Obesity Class II, which means I’m still at elevated risk for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, joint damage, and hormonal imbalance. My body is under daily strain—my knees, my heart, my metabolism. The tight size 38 pants aren’t just uncomfortable; they’re a warning.

But this is Day 3. I’ve already made progress. Coach Bill says:

“You’re not starting over—you’re starting clean. This is the third day of the rest of your life. Let’s keep going.”

💤 Sleep Tracker

Garmin Venu 4 Assessment: 80/100 – Good

Sleep Duration: 6 hours, 47 minutes

Total Days Rated:

Poor: 1

Fair: 1

Good: 1

🛏️ Sleep Hygiene Tip – Day 3

Avoid caffeine after 2 PM and limit screen time in the hour before bed. These small shifts can help deepen your sleep and improve your recovery.

Coach Bill says:

“That’s progress. Good sleep means your body is responding to the changes. Keep stacking wins—no alcohol, consistent movement, and a calming evening routine. Let’s aim for seven hours tonight. Your transformation depends on it.”

🏃‍♀️ Exercise Tracker

Day 2 Activities:

 60-minute exercise bike ride — steady pace, first workout of the reset

Total Exercise Bike Minutes (Reset to Date): 60 minutes

Total Reset Workouts Completed: 1

🧠 Coach Bill’s Movement Insight:

“One workout down, a lifetime to go. You didn’t just move—you declared your commitment. Let’s build on this momentum. Today’s run will be your second victory.”

🧴 Skin Care Plan (Morning & Evening)

Status: ✅ Completed both morning and evening routines on Day 2; committed to repeat on Day 3

Morning Routine

Evening Routine

✅ Cleanse again with CeraVe

Lisa says:

“Consistency is elegance. Your skin will begin to glow within days—especially as alcohol leaves your system. And you’re already seeing the shift.”

🌸 Feminization Timeline

Week 1: Skin care begins

Week 2: Female voice training starts

Week 3 onward: Walking like a lady—graceful, poised, and fluid

💋 Makeup Milestone

Coach Lisa recommends waiting until you’ve lost 15 pounds before beginning makeup practice. That’s your first visible transformation point—when your face begins to reflect Brenda’s softness and contour. You’re now 66.1 pounds away from your goal, and every pound brings you closer.

Lisa says:

“Makeup is not a mask—it’s a celebration. Let’s earn it.”

“You don’t become the woman you are meant to be by waiting—you become her by walking boldly into her life.”
