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. |
| I can feel the difference at 277 compared to 297 pounds. At 297, I had trouble bending over from a seated position because my belly got in the way, but at 277 I was able to more easily. I’m also able to kneel and stand more easily. I displayed an image of my diet for one day from MyFitnessPal at a bodybuilding forum online, and someone pointed out that my macros were off. I needed to bring up my protein levels and bring down my fat for the day, so the next time I went shopping I bought some plain nonfat Greek yogurt and low-fat cottage cheese. I’ve also started putting a scoop of whey protein in my oatmeal in the morning. I only eat one measuring cup of cottage cheese a day. I also bought some shrimp from Costco when I went shopping, and had it for dinner. I’ve been eating broccoli every day for the past couple of days. I’ve got enough so I shouldn’t run out before I go shopping again. I’ve remained in the 270s. |

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.
