Before covid, I had lost a lot of weight, was going to the gym 6/7 times a week, eating really healthy, 10k+ steps a day, and was super proud of my progress and new lifestyle/routine. I liked wearing tight fitted shirts tucked into jeans and always felt like I had a lot of energy.
2020 put me into a depression and there have been a lot of weeks where I didn’t leave my apartment at all, no exercise, and mostly ordered takeout. I’ve gained 10lbs this year but about 20lbs overall (10 last year and 10 this year) and I’ve been mostly wearing sweats/leggings and avoiding confronting the fact that my jeans and cute weight loss clothes don’t fit anymore 😭.
This week is the first week I’ve gotten back on track. Each day I’ve drank about 80-100oz of water, stayed in a calorie deficit, jogged, cycled, and/or weight lifted, and have gotten 8 or 9 hours of sleep every night since last Sunday. (I’ve logged food in LoseIt for the last 40 days but that’s included days I ate way over target.) I feel excited that I’ve gotten out of a mental slump and I’ve recently started therapy (I’m hoping that helps me not fall back into unhealthy habits.)
Even though taking progress photos (before pictures) was discouraging, I’m looking forward to seeing the side by side comparisons over the next few months. There are ~6.5 weeks left in the year and I’m feeling really optimistic that I can make some good progress by the time the year is over and start 2021 back into a routine again.
For those of you also starting over, know that i’m rooting for you and we got this💪 💕
