Weight loss progress
I wanted to write a post on my progress, as while things with work aren't going great, my health is definitely improving.
A couple of years ago, my dad passed away with heart complications. I have always been a similar build to him, so I knew I had to take care of myself. I'm ashamed to admit, that in one year due to Thyroid issues and overeating due to Covid stress, I put on 8.5 kilos.
Today, after six months of hard work and pushing through obstacles, I have lost 7.5 kilos, only one more till I've lost all the weight I put on. Once I get there, I still want to lose another 5.5 kilos, to get down to 80, but I'm doing it in steps.
The biggest change I've made was exercise. From aerobics, indoor cycling, and walking plus I've been doing resistance work with my arms. I'm trying to push myself more now with leg work, which isn't easy, but I will need to build it up.
Another positive is that my blood pressure is perfect, when it used to be 140/100, now it' 120/80. My cholesterol is still high, but I'm working on it. I am including more fruit and vegetables, but I need more.
I wanted to share this to say that it can be done, but give it time. I also found measuring my waist and hips once a month helped to motivate me by seeing there had been other changes than just with the scales.
Have a great weekend all!
