Complete Turnover
Hi!
I visited H&F before but didn't feel it concerned me. Now that has changed. Trying to pop up what's left of my life. Some background: I quit nicotine in 1992. After that some attempts in leading a healthier life, regularly irregular. Got a gym card maybe ten years ago, sometimes didn't go there for a couple of years. I once dropped 10 lbs in one month counting calories for real, wasn't sustainable.
Now there seems to be things happening on a more prolonged, hopefully permanent basis. I left the car at home 1.5 years ago when going to work, for getting at least some exercise. Then I quit alcohol half a year ago. I did a health survey and found my blood pressure was a bit high. Decided to drop 20 lbs, have now been on vegetables and VLCD-drinks for a month. Got a small chock when checking the blood pressure, it had gone down to normal, must mainly be the smaller salt content? That was a huge unexpected bonus!
So there's 15 lbs left to drop, the reason is mainly the waistline. All this is very well, but now I've decided to go to the gym every day for one hour. I will regulate what I do there, for not getting overloaded. Mainly hoping the exercise will do some good for my psyche, I have a tendency for pondering things and getting tired. I chose one hour a day, because that's a substantial investment and practically what I can come up with.
Views? 😀
Not quite a new low, but have been several times on the 85kg recently. And have definitely ate less.
85.4. Have a feeling I've been losing some liquid.
85.4 yet again. Interesting how little you need to eat for even keeping the weight.
Oops, 85.0!
Must have made an unconscious new year's resolution, have pretty much shut down calorie intake. Will report if losing some.
85.0, surprisingly low as being above 86 lately, but you lose liquid.
85.0, second time is more reliable.
85.0, starts to be really reliable, as the last week it's been in the 85's.
84.4 kg. Really found a low calorie schedule, expecting to be able to report regularly about new lows.
84.4. Could be losing even around 200 grams a day with the current diet, if so looking at the goal in the middle of february.
83.9. Had to make a minor step upwards in calories, could be looking at goal in the second half of february, time will of course tell.
83.8. Ate clearly more yesterday, but as always not totally binge is important..
83.7
83.7
83.7 yet again. Forgot to weigh in yesterday. Maybe it's good to have a break even from that now and then. Also, very fast weight losing doesn't in the end feel quite right. A couple of kilograms a month or so is better. From 86kg to 84 feels good. Starting to question why exactly 80 is the goal. Anyhow maybe a little more before trying to keep.
83.7. Better believe it now.
