Hullo all! I posted here a monthish ago. I wanted to make a small update. My weight has bounced up to 300 again and I decided after my nutrition class ends I will make a meal plan for myself and incorporate some of the advice I've gotten in the past. But, onto the victory and mindset change!
I am very very new to fitness and I thought I'd post to keep track of progress and mark this as a milestone. I am a -1 on the fitness scale, I have always HATED physical activity. I've tried sports but with bad balance and always being overweight it never appealed to me. I've made excuses like, asthma, I'm too big to not hurt myself, I'm sick, I'm tired, it's too late, etc.
Last night I decided to just start making small good choices and this seems like a habit I need to start working on. Many people reccomend a routine even if its small at first. Weight loss is diet based but overall health includes excersize and I desperately need to find a balance with both. I want to be healthy, not just thin eventually.
Last night I did my first workout in years. My boyfriend helped me through it and come up with a plan. We determined calf raises, modified sit ups, wall push ups, russian twists, and squats are the easiest/most effective for me starting out.
I did about 50 or so calf raises by the end. 30 ish sit ups. 10 wall push ups. 5? Russian twists, I didnt count. And probably 15 squats. All of these were done in the course of an hour with many many breaks lol. I also did probably a 30 second (maybe more?) straight arm hold? Im not sure what it's called. I did that while holding very very tiny weighted items.
In that hour I probably did 2 push ups where I'm on my knees instead of feet and determined that is too hard for me at this point. I also managed to do a 2 second plank with like my forearms on the ground, not the push up position one. I really want to eventually do better in those two but that will require work to build up to.
My second work out is in a little while, I'm both excited and nervous. Working out has always been something I've hated but for some reason it just feels like I need to do this and start building good habits for myself instead of using all my excuses.
If anyone has any reccomendations of very very easy workouts or tips for getting over being sore I'd love to hear them!
Thanks for reading if you made it this far and good luck to all of you with your journeys!
