Five years ago I was starting to try to lose weight. Everyone told me to knock off the Wii Fit, stop trying to gamify weight loss, just eat like a bird and take a jog daily. It never worked, I hated running, I hated eating so little, I hated lacing up my shoes. I'd be exhausted after my dumb half jog and plop down to play video games for hours. I deserved it, I just jogged!
Well, five years later and I haven't lost a pound. Decided to try CICO again, healthier, and just walk to work. Simple enough. Oh, and I started playing Pokemon Go again. It's still silly, but I enjoy it. Today was a community day, so I started walking to the area I'd plan to patrol at 2:30...
...and didn't come home, walking, until 8. I walked 8 miles, 20,000 steps, and according to Google Fit got nearly all my heart points for the WEEK. I would have NEVER walked 8 miles in a day before. I was getting 2,000 on a good day, and now I average 12,000 on days I play PoGo. My calves burn, but I feel so accomplished. Now, I've got to go burn off the celebratory drink I had with dinner... by playing some DDR :)
TL;DR If regular exercise doesn't jam with you, seriously consider exercising video games. It makes it so much more fun and I've made more progress in two months than I did in five years!
