A year ago I finally got serious about losing weight and joined Reddit for the support and inspiration. So happy I made that decision and stuck with it through the ups and downs. I thought it would be fun to do a before and after comparison of my daily routine to appreciate how far I’ve come!
Before- wake up feeling groggy, have a soda to perk me up. Eat an unhealthy breakfast like sugary cereal or pancakes drowned in butter and syrup. Take the bus to work and change into my XL scrubs using the elevators to move around the hospital. Usually packed a fairly healthy lunch because I was embarrassed eating around my co-workers. In the evening eating whatever and as much as I wanted for dinner. Usually something quick and easy because I was so tired and had horrible back pain. Finish off the evening with lots candy or other sweets.
No exercise, no care about calories or sugar. No wonder I was so big!
Now- usually wake up feeling energized and do a 30 minute workout a few days a week. Eat a small breakfast with at least 20 grams of protein, if it’s a rest day I fast until lunch. Walk to work, put on my medium scrubs and take the stairs. Pack a healthy lunch because I want to and have a smaller dinner tracking all my calories. I can put more effort into cooking now that my back pain is gone and I have more energy. Still have something sweet if it fits my calories but I limit myself.
So proud of all the changes I made and can’t wait to see where I am next year!
