So I have been a little MIA lately, but it hasn't been because I fell off the wagon on anything. I will admit my workouts have slowed just a tad but I am hanging in there. My latest weigh in as of Saturday, September 19th. If you recall I started out at 215, this marks 22 lbs lost! I am thrilled my progress has continued despite me skipping a few workouts here and there. It truly does prove that it really is 80% nutrition and 20% fitness. I have made sure I've worked out a minimum of 3-5x weekly, where I used to do 6 days a week. I was doing 2 a days some days, but with a little more going on around the house and work it has been difficult to keep up two a days. I have found that posting on here keep my spirits up even if nobody ever reads this, to feel like I am doing something and being proactive with my dreams means the world to me. This is the most progress I have made in almost 4 years so I will keep at it until I reach the big 150. I plan to maintain carb cycling as a long term nutrition plan as it works and it is healthy for the body. Once I reach my goal I will do it for maintenance rather than loss. I'm not sure if this is fully the logical way to go about it, but I'm trying to get my weight down first and then I will focus more on weight lifting. I know it's probably better to do them at the same time, but I think I may discourage myself if I do much lifting right now and start gaining. For now, my plan is to get my number down a good amount like maybe to 175 and then I'll start incorporating more lifting in so it won't be so devastating if I gain a little. I'm still too close to 200 for all that lol. So right now, the #s keep coming down, but my mid section isn't drastically different. I get compliments frequently from people who don't see me daily, so I know something has changed at least. I've been told my face, waist neck and shoulder area look slimmer. I'll take that!
start: 215
