Day one of phase 2
Well, it’s been an interesting 2 years
Hi new friends. Like the title says today is day one of phase 2
Stats: SW: 246 (111kg) CW: 179.8 (81kg) total lost 66.2 (30kg) my initial goal weight was 180. I hit that in February.
Which brings me to this post, today, I set a new goal weight.
It took me 2 very long years to hit my goal weight. In 2017 I had a baby, (made purely of poutine and nuggets) and shortly after got diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism (gee thanks nugget baby weight and inactivity). Flat out I needed to drop the weight.
So started my long challenge of trying to be better. My main source of success has been CICO and the near religious use of fitness pal. I never realized how poorly I was eating until I started logging it. So that was step 1. I have an 846 day streak going, logging even the bad days! You must be honest with yourself if you want to see results, or know why there’s a lack of.
For exercise I go to the gym 5-6 days a week. Mainly cardio, I love Les mills Combat class, the elliptical, long walks, bike rides, basically anything that gets me steps and breaks a sweat.
I also play around with weight lifting, I even tried a bootcamp for a few months. Working out is something I love to do... however, I also love to eat which means a lot of “evened out” days in my journey. I cut out regular pop, and upped my water intake.
November I started IF, 8:16. Just to keep myself from midnight snacking.
The progress was slow, but steady and so rewarding.
But now welcome to 2020. This pandemic and the quarantine has got me bad. The first two weeks, I fell into a depression and all I did was eat. My days were filled with trying to balance keeping my toddler alive and working from home. I went from being a working mom, filling my days with work, family time, the gym, meal planning, generally keeping busy, to not being able to leave the house. Everything is closed. No gym, no where to go, no reason to meal plan, home workouts growing repetitive.
It’s been over 2 months now and today, as I lazed around my living room feeling sorry for myself, yet again, with my pants feeing tight and my son eating endless cheese strings I had a moment of clarity.
I don’t feel motivated because I’m not working towards anything.
New goal weight set.
It feels silly making a entire post about it, but I need to be accountable. I need to put this out in the universe.
I need support, I need honesty and I need hints and tips I’d you got em.
Life is interesting right now. So hi! Let’s do this together.
