My goodness. I reached my first 10 lb goal marker in 36 days. This may seem like a little weight for just over a month for some of you, but this is huge to me. I have done a lot in the past to lose weight. There were a few times that I did lose more and in less time, but weight loss consumed every part of my life. I don't want that and can't do that now. I have a family and am much older now. I have other things in my life that are priority, which has also been part of the problem, but I am finding a balance now.
Most consistent with diet. I'm doing a very modified whole30ish diet. Some dairy and plenty of legumes, very little in the way of grains. I eat a ton of veggies and fruit. I will admit to eating a lot of the same types of meals, but it takes away the decision fatigue. I only eat off the diet with planned off meals. When I get tempted to eat when it is not planned I force myself to choose what's in front of me now and give up my planned off meal or not give in to the temptation. It's worked really well so far.
Exercise is less consistent, but it's really hard to be consistent with anything with my work schedule. I do not have a regimented schedule, either the days or the time. My day can start or end an hour different every time I work, which does affect commute hours and the such. My husband also is a shift worker during the evening. His schedule rotates and is less chaotic than mine, but still adds to my inability to maintain a schedule as we shuffle responsibility for my 4 year old between our unconventional schedules.
I have not lost this amount of weight in this short of time in a very long time, even doing serious exercise/lifting and proper nutrition, I was working with people in the field and am a nurse. It was a healthy living but my results were not quick. My body has never been good at shedding weight when I push so hard with exercise outside of cardio. I can already hear the eye rolling at this statement, but for me it is true. I am taking it one day at a time, one pound every 4 days. Slow and steady. I am really proud of myself right now.
