Dear self: reblog this post with things that show you displaying strength, maintaining consistency, moments of happiness, more to do better, and things that’ll keep you alive for another year ✨🤞🏾💕😘
Be good to yourself!
I fell off from being on here, but 2020 is all about consistency and accountability, starting with my weight goals.
Back on my bullshit with the first 16:8 of 2020.. after gaining depression weight in dec and halting fasting for 45 days, I’m back on the wagon.
Did two rounds of 13 hour fasting on the first two days of the year. Got super close yesterday, 30 mins shy, but I’m not preparing my body like I used to. Just trying to get back into the swing of it all, really.
CW: 204.6 / TW: 180
Not cutting anything at the moment. Not adding sugar to anything - if I do, its minimal, and I use agave, but I need more. Using cane sugar, and syrup. I want a good breakfast in the morning.
More veggies, less meat will be the way for this year. Already cut back on alcohol / I only drink on occasion, gonna limit it to twice a month if I can - sometimes I can go witnout though
Also, gym days start back on Monday once I get off of work. My goal is four days out of the week. When I have my cycle, I’ll be at home, doing a video a day during that time if i have the energy for it.
Also; I need to start stretching. Often.
I guess this can double as my official weight loss post too, so.. a few things:
I want at least two days out of the week to be three meal days bc I dont eat like I should even while fasting
I make juices with a combo of fruit, coconut water, cranberry juice and apple juice a lot, but I’m not tracking the sugars like I should. I’ll get better at that
I need to start taking these fucking vitamins. I did the other day and I need to be routine, so I’ll be setting an alarm for that when I wake up. When I’m off, I’ll just do it when I wake up.
NEED TO GO BACK TO TWO BOTTLES OF WATER A DAY
need to step my healthy meal game up
But tomorrow I want tacos (6), pancakes and a cheese omelette, Jerusalem salad / garlic couscous / and tandoori curry braised chicken
I’ve lost 9 pounds!!!! Was 211 at the start of the year after i quit fasting for 45 days, whew shit. GOOD JOB SELF!!!! 😭✨
Long post ahead:
Okay so it’s feb 1st, lemme tell y'all about my weight loss journey so far & whats to come:
Jan was about knocking off the water weight and keeping it off. Six damned pounds of water weight! That’s gone and so is a large majority of my bloating. I fasted consistently, doing a combination of 13 hours / 16:8 / two 18:4’s / and one 20:4 (this was unintentional). Being consistent really pushed it through the most for me because eventually it wasn’t even hard to do. So, lit.
I lost twelve pounds this month, and my new plateau is 199-203. I’m ending this month back at 200, and hella more energy than I thought I’d have!
Going to the gym was another huge part of me being CONSISTENT. I went to the gym 12 times this month. Was there for about an hour, two hours and thirty minutes tops. I stuck to a lot of cardio, little bit of abs, minimal strength training, and lots of legs. This month is about more strength, more abs, and venturing to more full body exercises - abs using the 30 minute circuit as a warmup.
My eating habits weren’t super strict but there are some days when I ate way more than i wanted to in a short period of time, and my plant based Tuesday’s were fairly successful. Going into this new month and beyond, I’ll be eating meat once a day so I have to really choose wisely lol. I plan to make more vegetarian / vegan (not Uber strict but good based!) meals, but I’ll still eat meat. I have a freezer full of meat and I gotta use it 😂
I wanna get to the point in my life where I can pay every single one of my bills on auto pay and I won’t even have to bat an eye on my bank account balance.
