One of the main things that sparked me to try and get back in shape was seeing some pictures with my full body last fall/winter. I've always struggled with weight loss and managing expectations, which led to discouragement and then the cycle would start over. However, this year, I promised myself there was no "magic number," I wasn't going to go crazy by "cutting carbs/sugars/fats/whatever" and set myself up for an unrealistic diet. Instead, I started working out 3-4 days a week (lots of HiiT and Cardio) and tracking calories on my phone with an app. I specifically have only weighed myself every few weeks and have not tried to be a madman about workouts and diet like in the past. This had led me to drop 20 pounds since the New Year, going from 247-226 while still maintaining my focus and motivation.
Jump to his past Saturday, when my wife and I took our kids on a long walk. At one point I was horsing around with my kids and my wife snapped a candid pic of it without us realizing. I saw it later and I was very happy how I looked in the photo. I'm trying to take it a day at a time and really just focus on my overall health without the BS that has tripped me up before, but this was a definite win for me. Thank you to everyone on this sub, it's so great to read the different stories and it's definitely a pick-me-up on the days when its harder. Take care of yourselves.
