    Cheers!
    I love starting my daily routine with you two. I sip a cup of tea and enjoy a peek into your world.
    The weight gain is such a relatable experience for me. Been battling my tastebuds forever. I'm 62 and it is still a daily consciousness. Finding the will power to not eat the things, that's the hard part. But- when you find the right insentive it helps.
    For me right now it is the possibility of a new knee! I still have mountains to climb damn it!
    Maybe for you it can be the goal of you and Bobby's next thru hike... I'm sure you know all this, but it can help to know you're not solo in this weight battle boat.
    I look forward to your updates.
    Enjoyed the tour.
    Excited to see the van reveal!

    A friendly suggestion, since we noticed in several videos you drinking sodas. We like them too, but they are such a big factor in weight gain and as we all know, very unhealthy. Something to think about. All the best.

    Awesome paint job on the van so glad Bobby is using a breathing thingee, can't remember what you call it 🙂
    Yes, that's a challenging weight gain. Sigh. Food. Such a challenge. Can't live without it. Can't live with too much of it.
    Got to find your balance now..... and you will.
    (not to be gloomy but menopause will shift it all around again, so be prepared to reach for new balances then.... but that's OK because it's way down the road and also you can handle that.... you are BossBae )

    Weight gain sucks. I have struggled with my weight since high school and have tried all the diets. The only things that kept the weight off was running and backpacking. Wrecked my knees and IT bands running and now have two titanium knees. Thank goodness for medical technology! I am now taking Wegovy and it has been a game changer. I am 70 years old, 5’2” and currently weight 147. We still hike (couldn’t live without walking in the woods in the mountains).
    You are doing just fine! A famous raft guide told us once: no matters what happens, it’ll be all right! Don’t forget to get out into those woods!

    Hey there. I’m 150 which would be considered heavy for someone my height but I’m well endowed let’s say so that accounts for a big part of it 🤪. Maybe you have plantar fasciitis. If you do, I know the pain and would recommend daily exercises specifically for it. There are some good ones to follow on YT. I healed without seeing a doctor, but that’s me and I only go for medical assistance if totally necessary.😂. Love the van and happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️

    I’ve really enjoyed your videos. May I ask, is your foot pain in your heel? If so, have you tried taping your arch? I had severe plantar fasciitis and after seeing a podiatrist and having my arches taped along with following the doctor’s suggestion to wear Stegmann clogs might pain is completely gone. Game changer for me. Anyway, thanks for sharing and happy trails.

    • @TravelWritePaint
      @TravelWritePaint  23 дні тому +2

      Yes. Right in the heel though my ankle is also sore in the mornings.
      Interesting, I’ll have to check into that!

  • @Badnewsfeminist
    @Badnewsfeminist 24 дні тому +4

    I’m sure you know all this but my guess is your body was in a bit of starvation mode while hiking and it’s having a hard time turning off and it’s holding onto weight now like your life depends on it! I find this happens more with women. My advice is to not restrict too much because that will perpetuate the cycle. Just some food for thought 😉

    • @TravelWritePaint
      @TravelWritePaint  23 дні тому +2

      Thanks for the advice!
      Yes, I’m sure you’re absolutely right. I’ve increased my protein and trying to cut sugar but I’m not so much restricting.
      I understand tho, I have a lot of triggers when it comes to food.

    I like how you talk to your mom. Yes, your heel will heal. Earthing, DMSO, epsom salt soaks, TLC, Ayurvedic creams, MSM, you got this. My friend who walked the PCT said it took months for her feet not to hurt. One hiker (survive or thrive) said he uses VEVO barefoot shoes (in Hawaii). I think different shoes could help. Also, comfrey soaks. Comfrey the comforting. Has minerals and the foot has the largest pores so the foot soaks are ideal. There is also something called ionic foot bath.

    My advice is increase your protein and decrease sugars. If you diet is focused on protein and fruits and veggies and less processed plus add weight training. If you build muscle your metabolism will increase. It's a mistake to think more cardio means less weight, this is true for women. Build muscle and then you'll lose fat
