My journey from fat to fit! |
|
I’ve been trying to lose fat and get fit for a long time. This will be my blog about my fitness journey! When a lot of people go from extremely fat to healthy and fit, they usually leave a lot out of their story. For instance, in online articles someone might have one paragraph describing when they were 300 pounds and sneaking fast food on their way home before eating a regular dinner with their family, then in the next paragraph they’re out running 5K’s and 10K’s. I want to show the fitness journey from beginning to end, with a lot of details and the philosophical outlook I’ve come up with on my own to guide me on my fitness journey. Hopefully, my experience can help others. |
| Getting from fat to fit on your own is like trying to navigate a maze at night, blindfolded. One realization that motivates me is that once I achieve a fit physique, I want to spend more time as a fit person than I did as a fat person. I believe I was meant to be muscular and I’m cheating myself out of my destiny by being fat. If I visualize what I want to look like in a year, then that affects my daily decisions. Having a piece of junk food seems unpalatable if it will prevent me from reaching my goals. Having that mindset is the difference between success and failure. Being in the habit of overeating takes you down a road some never return from. This isn’t just an empty axiom or catchphrase, it’s a way of recognizing the problem and dealing with it. If overeating is a way of life for you, then you need to reevaluate your life choices and change your mindset. There is no intrinsic value in eating more than others. It won’t help you make money, and will jeopardize your health in the long run. You need to trade in the cravings for things like ice cream and replace them with cravings for vegetables like zucchini and broccoli. When I was younger, I equated eating a lot as a status symbol, but what I didn’t know back then is that it only has value if you’re lean and muscular. Even then, that would only happen on specific rare occasions and not consistently. There’s no reward for eating more than others, you just get fat over time. I hit the 270s on Wednesday and maintained it. |

has oddly set off a motivating dopamine reaction that gets me going. Weights I can do at the house when I wake up or before bed. I'd like to be able to walk more, but my schedule is not that wide open where I can walk consistently. Right now I'm fighting a touch of a cold that's settled in my throat/sinus area so weights are good for me now. I'm also tracking on Weight Watchers since I started last DEC. While, I'm happy with my tracking habits, I do need to focus on more zero or 1 point foods. I agree - getting in shape is 90% diet. Sending you good vibes for meeting your goals.
