I've been on good weight loss streaks, and bad weight loss gains my whole life. But this latest lockdown did a number on me. A big number, 263. Wasn't that long ago I was 230. Now that I'm going back to work tomorrow, people are going to see a difference, 5 months later. Too bad for me, I gotta deal with the consequences of my actions.
Tomorrow is also "Day 1" for the millionth time. Yet now I'm feeling good. Oh, and by Day 1 I'm not going to count the 6 pounds I've lost since Wednesday. I've made damn sure I won't eat a bite after dinner time, and this is just a place I can keep some accountability. 6 pounds may seem like a lot, but it isn't. I don't feel tired, or lethargic if anything I feel more energetic.
My goal is to lose 5 pounds a week for 6 weeks. Starting weight 260 goal weight 230, then slow it down. 200 by the end of August. So, for week 1 which hasn't started yet the goal is to go from 260 to 255. And here I am at 257. I'm gonna eat what I want, which is a highly nutritious salad most days with an unhealthy dressing in a bigass bowl most days.
I'm gonna be hungry at night. I'm hungry now. It's night time here. But the key for me, and maybe for some of you, is that it isn't real hunger, it's a craving for unhealthy/ too much food. I don't have to track my Calories or macros to know I've had enough food today.
It's summer time and 10,000 steps a day is easily achievable. My fitbit says I burned over 3,500 Calories today. I don't believe it, but I did 10,000 steps yesterday for the first time in a long time (depression woo!) And my feet hurt, pain I am happy to have currently. I aim to do that 5 out of 7 days this upcoming week, and not eat at night.
I'm not letting myself get down about what I lost. What I gained in 5 months can be lost in less than 1, and I look forward to checking in next week. Not a self post, but one of the day or weekly threads. Then again in 6 weeks, see if I've hit 230.
Stay positive, don't beat yourselves up, you're all doing something great for yourselves which you deserve.
