Healthy Living (weight loss?) Check-in

[erbear]

My actual goal (which I hate) is weight loss. I’d like to lose 45 pounds. I generally don’t care about my weight (I’m very active - I run 5x/week, I like the way I look) but my BMI puts me in the obese category and that scares me for Covid.

sandandsea, I’m so glad my new job is permanently WFH. My life is so much more balanced without a commute. And I’ve lost weight during the pandemic (about 10 lbs) in part because I eat leftovers for lunch instead of grabbing fast food just so I can escape peopling for 15 minutes and in part because I have time to walk in the evenings before or after dinner.

Oh I gained so much weight during the pandemic due to open access to the kitchen and also due to not doing the group workouts I once did. I no longer am a member of a gym and I no longer go on group runs or bike rides.

I have lost weight even since my last weigh-in though and I feel really good about that. I have...a lot to loose. And I now qualify for 1B based on my weight. Ugh.

Started tracking food again today. I’m also in week 2 of a new workout program and I am sore. I’ve gained about 7 lbs during the pandemic. So I’m working on getting that off plus at least another 10. I’ve been at the same weight for about 3 years so I know I need to concentrate more on my food.

I've done 2 days of 21 day fix workouts! I have to admit, I was worried about being able to do some of the moves. But watching the person doing the modifications is perfect because I can match her.

Kat is awesome. Are you doing real time 21DF? (The newer one?) I love those workouts.

I’m doing the new program right now (9 week control freak) and she’s the modifier for that too.

callmekd, I'm doing the real time one. So far I do like it, just realizing how out of shape I really am! I had to ask beau to carry the laundry to the basement this morning after doing the leg day workout. haha

Her new program includes a separate nightly stretching video and it’s helped so much with my soreness.
