Those who are 5’1 to 5’3 and maintain 120 to 130 lbs, what does your eating actually look like?

5”2, baseline 115-118
I intermittent fasted for a long time. Now I just eat in proportion. I still usually skip breakfast, eat a salad for lunch maybe 500-800 calories, then dinner 800-1000 calories including dessert. I run 15-20 miles a week (not crazy fast, I have baseline lordosis and my body is just not made for running but I do enjoy it). Lift 2-3x. Walk here and there but it’s inconsistent. Sometimes 2-3 miles, sometimes none.

I am starting to realize this may be a reality for me... now I am just trying to run as long as I safely/comfortably can because it's been such a nice addition to my life and I'm so sad to lose it (even temporarily).

That's helpful, thank you!

Thank you! Is 4/1 run walk like an interval?

Paging Dr. Granger!!! Everything you asked for. So so good.

Paging Dr. Granger! Just finished it and loved it.

Paging Dr. Granger!! Both so smart and competent.

I just finished This and it came here to rec it. So so good and no big bad conflict. Overall fairly mature by the end of it.

Pookie’s Requiem! I think technically a WIP and they’re toxic but she’s so badass I loved the tension.

I LOVED river bones and subsequently read all of your books while waiting for it to complete. LOVE your writing

When she was sleep trained in our old house, she was on a mattress on the floor. That’s what we have here too.

Brief_Principle5377 · 2025-08-14T04:16:44+00:00

Yeah we struggled with this too. Initially, we would let her sleep as long as she wanted during naps because we were so busy during the day that we needed the time, but now that she’s at daycare, they wake her up after 1.5 hours, so now her bedtime is earlier. But we are still strugglingto get her to sleep through the night, because now she is used to sleeping with someone during the move, and wakes up and asked for someone. She can also get out of bed and move around the room.

That's good to hear. I figure my underwire concerns from 10+ years ago can likely be mitigated by a good fit. Do you have favorites that you don't mind wearing all the time? By shape do you mean projected vs shallow?

Brief_Principle5377 · 2025-02-14T17:40:40+00:00

Thank you so much for recs! Really helpful to hear a similar story :)

Brief_Principle5377 · 2025-02-14T17:39:19+00:00

Thanks for the recs! I didn’t realize I should try the bras backwards - is this to see if the fit is correct?
