F26 SW 218 CW 186 GW 170 final GW 144
I've lost 32 lbs and this morning I reached a really important milestone for me: I weigh less than my boyfriend!
I know quarantine has been really hard for a lot of us, but for me, not being as tempted to eat out and being stuck at home has made it really easy to stay on top of my calorie goals. I've gotten back in the habit of carefully weighing everything out, staying carefully within my 500 deficit.
Because I'm so short, my deficit has me under 1400 per day, so about a month ago I started going for a 40 minute walk ever day, just so that I can eat a more satisfying amount of food. Over the course of quarantine, I've made a point to do some home workout videos from YouTube. I've done some HIIT, some dance, some muscle focus, some of everything. Every day that I do it is better than a day I didn't, right? So I just keep telling myself that, no matter what, I won't regret working out.
A big game changer for me has been labeling myself as sedentary and using the correlating calorie rates. Being stuck at home has made it so that, unless I specifically do something, I'm sedentary. Thinking about myself that way gives me no excuses. I can't pretend that I have burned more than I have. Keeping myself to those numbers and expectations has been invaluable.
Quarantine has also made it a lot easier to drink enough water. For some reason, sitting with a glass of water by my side means I'm definitely getting enough. I can drink water without having to think about it.
Today, though. Today I woke up, got on the scale, and danced like an idiot. It feels to good to weigh less than him. It feels so good to feel stronger thanks to the workouts. I am still under half way to my final goal, but this victory probably feels sweeter than the 50 percent will.
