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.
A friend recently told me there is something in human brains that keeps track of how many times we chew. This is used to help trigger the fullness we feel when we've eaten enough. I haven't checked to verify this.
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!
