I’ve been on health kicks and weight loss journeys countless times, never to the point of achieving my ultimate goals long term just usually as long as I have the focus to keep going and eventually I would give up along the way.
I have three kids and after every pregnancy I would really try to lose the weight, the most impressive was after my last kid when I joined a post partum mom workout group and would work out at 3-4 times a week (body weight and HIIT, serious sweat!). Ultimately though I had to go back to work and the weight always creeps back up.
The last couple of months have been a serious wake up call for me. I turned 37, completed a year into a new position as work which is incredibly demanding, and took a staycation with my family who was visiting that helped me break away from the stress and routine. I also started following a lot of health and weight loss content on IG so it’s in my face every time I’m on social media (and not just food!).
I went back to tracking. I still had my Lifesum subscription, my Fitbit (premium) and my arboleaf scale. For kicks I tried a trial run with Noom too. I am tracking all my food (on multiple apps) and using the gym and home workouts on FitOn plus Zombies Run to motivate me to do walks (can’t run because of an injury).
And I’ve lost 2.4 kg in 10 days. 1 kg in the last 4 days alone. My decision to actually do it is obviously the biggest factor, but the apps really are helping me get a better picture of what was hurting me and what my body actually needs for this to be successful.
I know eventually it’ll even out and I won’t likely track everything on two apps etc. but for now it’s helping me reset and I’m really hoping I can keep it up long term until I reach my health goals.
Mostly I wanted to just share with people who get it. But if anyone has constructive tips on how to stay the course I am all ears!
