Merry Christmas and the gift I give myself today is weight loss. 50 lbs loss so far since June.
Yep, 219.4 is today's weight and let me tell ya, after yo-yo-ing between 220 to 223 this past week and eating food I had no idea how to even put in myfitnesspal app at the work Christmas party yesterday, I was amazed I had lost some. To ensure I didn't gain too much, I did 14K steps yesterday, almost 6K by 9am. Slow work day in the morning. Dinner was at 7 and I am currently still fasting (over 12 hours). Guess it really worked.
From here on out I'll be able to control what I stuff in my mouth more since there will be no more "parties" to attend. Just a dinner tonight at the in-laws and I'm done.
For the new year, I'm wanting to follow the same exercise routine every day.
30 air squats
30 push-ups
10 to 20 minutes elliptical
and...swimming. I really want to add this to my routine.
But most importantly, lawn care. My poor yard needs some serious loving, and what a great workout, ya know?
And I'm dropping my daily caloric intake to 1600.
Plus, I'm feeling a bit empowered. Folks have been asking me "how" and I've been explaining that you don't have to kill yourself to lose weight, just find what works for you. Remember, it took forever to put it on, it's going to take forever to take if off. Eat less bad food, eat more good food. Watching calories seems to help LOTS so that I don't overeat. But most importantly, it's not a diet. It's a lifestyle change. Diets aren't meant to last after all. Lady at work wanted me to join her in a KETO diet, but I told her I couldn't. Lifestyle change.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday Season, that you find peace & avoid drama and snow storms.
Eat less, Move more....Merry Christmas.
