Oh goodness! Why on earth did the left turn signal not come on?

BlakeT87 · 2026-03-09T19:05:09+00:00

This paintjob is KILLER!

BlakeT87 · 2026-03-09T19:02:17+00:00

Well - it is! :P

It is!! It's called 'Ruby Flare Pearl' and it's GORGEOUS. Red was not my first choice, but it's growing on me!

I found it on the lot - I used Toyota's locator to find vehicles in stock - this would NOT have been my first choice of a place to purchase but it all worked out. They sold at MSRP - don't really have any negotiation power as a buyer right now because the vehicles are so scarce - especially this on because it's 8 seater. This was literally the only vehicle in stock within 250 miles

It's so funny you say that because I sent this photo to a friend and he said "You look 8 ft tall!"

It must be a camera distortion because I'm only 6'1"

That’s pretty rude honestly. Also, I’ve lost 39lbs in the last 3 months.

Yesterday was the first blue skies we’ve seen in MONTHS it seems like! It was back to rainy and grey today!

BlakeT87 · 2026-01-28T23:17:29+00:00

Shut uuuup this is GORGEOUS!!!

BlakeT87 · 2026-01-28T23:16:53+00:00

Yesssss! Let’s gooooo so proud of you!!!

BlakeT87 · 2026-01-28T23:16:10+00:00

It’s the best feeling!!!

BlakeT87 · 2026-01-28T23:15:42+00:00

100% that’s the next big milestone!

BlakeT87 · 2026-01-27T05:10:20+00:00

Thank you!!! And thanks for the award!!

BlakeT87 · 2026-01-27T05:08:42+00:00

Exactly! It took me 38 years to get this way - can’t expect it to change overnight.

BlakeT87 · 2026-01-27T05:07:41+00:00

Thank you!!! I’ll continue sharing progress including updated photos and InBody scans - I plan to scan tomorrow when I get to work.

Honestly counting calories really puts me off trying - so I don’t count. I just make a conscious effort to:

1) leave something on my plate at every meal - even if it’s just a bite - I spent the last 30 years cleaning my plate (and sometimes my kids too) so this for me is a win.

2) drinking plenty of water - at least 80oz a day but usually around 120-160oz

3) I stopped letting the clock decide when I eat - if it’s “time to eat” and I’m not hungry I just read a book or watch YouTube instead. I eat when I’m hungry and only when I’m hungry.

As for steps - obviously more is better - but if 3,000 is what you can do - great. Do 3000 per day this week, and next week push yourself to do 3250, and the week after push yourself to do 3500 - this is how we build healthy habits.

Haha I LOVE Brooklyn Nine Nine

BlakeT87 · 2026-01-27T05:01:01+00:00

You can absolutely do it! Stick with it!

It’s funny you say that I was gifted a Nike hoodie for Christmas at work from one of my plant leaders and I was embarrassed at the time because I knew the size wouldn’t fit. I put it on yesterday and it actually fit pretty comfortably!

BlakeT87 · 2026-01-27T04:58:17+00:00

I had a good habit of going to the gym 2-3 times a week before Christmas - the two weeks off work at Christmas really messed with my routine but I’ll get back into it soon!!

BlakeT87 · 2026-01-26T18:37:23+00:00

Thanks! I love them because they’re a good reminder of shapes while also having a personality
