. 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!
I’ve been staying around 288 pounds, sometimes less than that. I can’t stay in enough of a deficit to lose more weight. I started walking and listening to FM radio with my cell phone and Skull candy headphones, I walk greater amounts of time that way. Today and for the next few days it is raining, so I can only lift weights. I’m looking forward to walking again when the rain lets up.
I weighed 288.6 pounds this morning. I train with weights four days in a row, and take three days off. The difference now compared to the past is that I look forward to my training days instead of looking forward to my rest days.
It’s hard to believe that I’m finally in the 280s. I want to go as long as possible without getting junk food. I don’t want to give up the progress I’ve made recently for fleeting pleasures.
I bought a Captain America shaker cup from Amazon recently. I saw Calum Von Moger using a shaker cup in Generation Iron 2, and that made me want one. I stopped eating plain non-fat Greek yogurt with my oatmeal in the mornings, I use a scoop of whey protein powder and I ounces of water that I shake up in my shaker cup. I think this might be a reason I’m losing so much weight.
