Losing weight is tough... the math is simple (you need to burn more calories than you consume), but actually doing that in practice is a real challenge!
. It's my first month doing it, but I've found defining the weight schedule and getting that daily has oddly set off a motivating dopamine reaction that gets me going. Weights I can do at the house when I wake up or before bed. I'd like to be able to walk more, but my schedule is not that wide open where I can walk consistently. Right now I'm fighting a touch of a cold that's settled in my throat/sinus area so weights are good for me now. I'm also tracking on Weight Watchers since I started last DEC. While, I'm happy with my tracking habits, I do need to focus on more zero or 1 point foods. I agree - getting in shape is 90% diet. Sending you good vibes for meeting your goals.
I'm just getting started on a weight loss journey myself. After on-and-off-again gym visits, and not all that much dieting, it's time to take things a little more seriously because this extra weight isn't going to lose itself!
Over the past few years I’ve dieted from January to March or April, then turned into a bloat lord during the summer months and gained it all back. In addition to dieting this year, I’m upping the ante with my workouts.
I’m doing more repetitions during each set, and I’m lifting heavier weights. My goal is to lift frequently and consistently during this summer and try to get stronger on some of my lifts.
I’ve got nothing better to do with my time, and I’ve got plenty of time. Before, I had to go to gyms to train, but it took a long time to get there and get home. Now, I’ve got a lot of equipment to train with at home, so there’s no reason to skip workouts or to just lift the same weight each workout.
