I'm down over 55 lbs since October. 25 lbs to go to my goal. I was doing awesome.
And then all this started.
I have to work at home. I'm very anxious. I was too worried about going to the gym, but now I can't at all, since they close tonight. Kids may or may not have daycare. We did some prep including lots of extra food, but healthy stuff like fresh veg was in short supply. I bake when i'm stressed, so there are cookies. I see some real food challenges in the next few weeks.
So i'm scrapping the >1 lb loss per week I was on. My new plan? Maintenance. Still logging and weighing and doing my best. But if I can hold during this stressful time? When I get to real maintenance, i'll have some skills and a clearer understanding of what I need to do. There is no timer on my weight loss journey. If a pandemic slows me down a little bit? That's really OK. It's not my first priority right now.
I'm also trying to get fresh air, walking around my neighborhood (thankfully this is spring!) and around the house. I found Darebee and am going to work on that in lieu of my weight training.
Your mental health and physical health both matter. Take care of yourself. That's going to look different for different people and it's OK. We can still reach out goals, even with unexpected challenges!
