I had my wake up call a week ago. I went to the emergency room for extreme chest pain. It wound up not being a heart attack, but it was still very scary. That night, my wife casually mentioned that I've been snoring consistently since April.
I've been blaming my weight gain on breastfeeding our toddler-- my hormones are out of whack and I'll get back to normal once they wean, right?--, self isolating in our 500 sqft apartment, and my chronic pain and fatigue. It's out of control, though. I now weigh more than I did at 42 weeks pregnant and I'm starting to worry about the health issues that are coming along with the weight.
The area we live in isn't super safe for walks, especially with an unruly two-year-old who wants to run in the street, so I bought Just Dance 2020 for our Switch and I've been doing 1+ hours of dancing each day since Tuesday. I'm not ready to change my eating, though. I grew up watching my mom yoyo diet for my entire life and it's left a bad taste in my mouth (I'm not even telling her about my weight loss journey because she gets really weird about my weight at every size.). Besides, I primarily eat vegetarian, whole foods. My biggest issue is my super sedentary lifestyle.
Anyways, here goes. I'm 5'7" at 215 lbs. My first goal is to get below my weight at my kid's delivery, 205. My end goal? Maybe 150 lbs?
