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’m moving down in weight slower than I was previously. When I got paid, I wanted to eat things for lunch that were outside of my normal diet, like ground turkey burgers and on other days, spaghetti. On Saturday I got back to having three hard boiled eggs and one pouch of brown rice and quinoa. That is what I had for lunch during the days when I was losing the most weight. I didn’t weigh myself on Wednesday because the trash gets picked up and I needed to get up at 5:45 am to make sure the trash bin didn’t get knocked over. On Thursday I was having a problem with my scale, so I didn’t weigh myself, but Friday morning I put new batteries in and it worked. I lost a total of 3 pounds this week. We weren’t meant to sit around eating and not exercising, our ancestors moved around a lot more than we do, and we pay the price if we don’t follow their example. If someone let themselves get fat, they can’t fight or flee from danger if it arises. Walking for an hour daily and eating more vegetables is helping me get healthier. Discipline is something that is strengthened. Just as I once could only curl a 20 pound dumbbell, then worked my way up to 40 pounds, strong discipline is something you’re not born with, you gradually build it up over time. |

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.
