Title says it all.
I’m self-employed and also go to uni full-time and have for a few years. This has wrecked havoc on my body.
My PT goes on about consistency but the problem is I can’t be consistent. I don’t work a 9-5 so the time I have off work is sporadic. Some times I’ll be off work but have uni, other times a big project and I’m just sitting in front of a screen from 7am to midnight. Uni is generally scheduled but some weeks some classes aren’t in person (cutting commuting and class time) and some weeks there are extra classes. I also have additional classes and family commitments on top.
I’m a short woman which means my scope for calorie consumption is very narrow. My greatest weight loss success was last summer when I didn’t have uni so could exercise a lot as I had the time both to exercise and rest afterwards. For the sake of argument, even if you COULD be consistent food-wise, as soon as you have one social event a week it wipes out the deficit if you’re a short woman…which leads to maintenance. Great when you’re there, but not ideal when you want to lose!
I’m kind of at my wits end. I am EXACTLY the same weight I was at the start of the year. I don’t know whether I should give up trying to lose weight for now until uni is over in April and just aim for maintenance and be happy instead of sad I’m not losing weight. The pressure of everything combined is getting too much. I have about 3 stone (42lbs/20kg) to lose.
Does anyone have tips for trying to lose when you can’t be consistent? I normally just do big workouts when I’ve got the time to make up for busy weeks but that just leads to maintenance. I also don’t drive so gym time adds 30 min walking and hair time afterwards. My other hobbies take even more time to get to.
Any tips very welcome!
