I’ve written about weight loss quite a few times around the
blog but I’ve failed to stay on track each and every time. There are many
reasons why I’ve struggled:
1.
I found it hard to eat healthy and stay within
my calorie intake when my husband could eat anything he wanted
2.
Counting calories was such a hassle I could
never keep up
3.
Summer meant bbqs, beer, outings and I got
distracted from going to the gym
4.
Once I stopped going to the gym I couldn’t get
myself to go back
5.
I would compare myself to others who were also
going through weight loss and I felt defeated if I didn’t get the same results
In the middle of January I decided to give it another go. So
far I’ve done quite well (minus a few cheat days) and I am happy with my
process and results. Here are a few
reasons why this time I’ve done a lot better:
1.
My husband decided to join me so it’s a lot
easier to keep up healthy eating if we’re both taking part
2.
Once I kept up with my food journal using My
FitnessPal app for two weeks it has become second nature to log my meals
3.
I’ve decided to focus on one goal at a time so
I’m not overwhelmed. I started with healthy eating and now that I have made it
part of my daily routine I will begin to focus on exercise.
My starting weight as of February 2nd was 134.6
and I continued to weigh myself every week since every Monday morning. I didn’t
want to focus too much on the numbers on the scale hence the weekly weigh-ins
rather than daily. My goal weight is 125 lbs and I’m hoping that I can reach
this weight by June 1st in time for shorts and swimsuit season. Once
I’ve reached my goal I would like to focus on toning my body especially my
mid-section.
