My journey from fat to fit! |
|
I’ve been trying to lose fat and get fit for a long time. This will be my blog about my fitness journey! When a lot of people go from extremely fat to healthy and fit, they usually leave a lot out of their story. For instance, in online articles someone might have one paragraph describing when they were 300 pounds and sneaking fast food on their way home before eating a regular dinner with their family, then in the next paragraph they’re out running 5K’s and 10K’s. I want to show the fitness journey from beginning to end, with a lot of details and the philosophical outlook I’ve come up with on my own to guide me on my fitness journey. Hopefully, my experience can help others. |
| I hit the high 280s on Saturday. I weighed 300 pounds on April 13th. Progress like this is tentative, because one week of binge eating can take me back to where I was before. That is what happened in March, when I went from around 286 to the high 290s because I bought $40 of junk food at Walmart. Walking an hour before breakfast seems to be working really well, that might be an important variable to consider. Last summer I didn’t do hardly any walking, and I went from 259 pounds in April 2024 to the 290s in September 2024. Another thing is eating home cooked Pinto beans mixed with brown rice and quinoa, in two burritos made with carb balance tortillas from Costco. I don’t eat more than two of those tortillas a day, the rest of the brown rice and beans I eat from a bowl. I ordered some Chía seeds and they arrived. I tried two tablespoons in my oatmeal Saturday morning with two tablespoons of powdered peanut butter and they tasted great! I ended up cutting out the Chia seeds because I felt they had too much fat. I ate ground turkey with onions and sugar free barbecue sauce, with two carb balance tortillas for dinner Thursday night, and Friday morning I was 284.2 pounds, I’m at my lowest weight of the year so far! |

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.
