Hey everyone!
So it's end of October - by definition, still fall but as each day passes it gets colder. ESPECIALLY in the mornings. Since May, I've been walking outside but now habits have changed since it's 40-50 degree weather in the mornings.
Every winter, I let myself go. Every winter, I gain weight (I'm assuming that this is the case for most people). I've got a couple exams I'll be studying for as well so I will need to be sitting for many hours (I have to do self-study in the mornings and I've got a review course that I have to take which runs on weeknights from 5-10 pm until the first week of December). A lot of sitting unfortunately.
Studying...cold weather...and a history of gaining weight during this time, how will I manage?
I'm a 5'6F and currently weigh 150 lbs. Started my weight loss journey officially in February 2021. Took me 7-8 months to lose 30 pounds. I started off at 180. My goal weight is anywhere between 118-120 lbs. So basically another 30 lbs to go. The months of November to March (it's still cold in March) I know can be utilised wisely.
I'm guessing that I will have to place more emphasis on diet. Making sure to really cut out sweets (at least until my exams are done, which is until end of December). I don't eat that much meat anyway, and prefer vegetarian options (I really love lentils with rice and other veggies, soups too).
I've always hated going to the gym. I don't enjoy it. Anytime I have tried it was never sustainable for me. I love walking outside but by the time deep winter comes around (December-Feb) it's going to be freezing. Also walking in the mornings is hard because it's dark outside.
Any suggestions? I want to plan well for the upcoming season!
There are 2 months until the end of December. I know people have managed to lose up to 16 pounds within this span of time. My body does have a slower metabolism, so I don't know if I'll be able to lose that much. I'm setting my goal for a 10 lb weight loss by the new year. Do you think that's achievable?
This season from Halloween until New Years is always challenging. Along with the colder weather, there are many events going on. Parties and dinners that I (and so many other people) will have to attend. I'm handing out candy to the children in my neighborhood this year for Halloween. I personally hope they finish all the candy so I'm not left with any of it! Of course Thanksgiving weekend and Christmas will be FULL of delicious treats and delectable meals. How do you survive the holidays when you have a weight loss goal!? I will also be attending a big birthday bash for my niece who turns 2 years old at the end of December. I have a beautiful green dress that I've never worn anywhere because I was significantly overweight. Tried it on today and it slips on so easily now! I just know it will look better even if I lose 10 more pounds.
