Weight Loss for Everyone: Q1 in the Bag

Q1 in the Bag

On January 1st I woke up with a lifestyle resolution (not just a New Year’s resolution) to put 2020 behind me, lose the weight I had gained over the last months and years, and get in shape for the first time in 7 years. As a 5’9” 41M who was, at the time, ~181lbs, I had wanted to make a change for a while because my lack of fitness wasn’t allowing me to do certain things. A post I saw somewhere on Reddit that Friday morning inspired me (context in a bit), and so I began my journey.

3 months in and I’m going strong. I hit my original goal weight, but now I’d like to lose a little more. I’ve lost between 15-17 lbs (depends on the daily fluctuations) through exercise and CICO, can now run a 10K (I had been up to a 5k at the end of 2019, but fell off the wagon almost completely last year), run 4 miles each of two other days a week, walk or hike the rest, and try to get to the climbing gym twice a week. Other than fighting minor shin splints, I have had very few struggles. Making exercise a daily habit doesn’t give me room to make excuses.

Back to the context. I have an Apple Watch (for now) and saw a post on the morning of January 1st of someone who had filled all of their fitness rings for 2020. I set a goal to do the same, so here I am, holding myself accountable.

TBH, I’m probably not going to be able to fill all the rings all year because I plan to buy a Garmin Fenix soon and it doesn’t record the stand goal, but it won’t change my goal of being active every day and not letting my fitness limit the the things I want to do.
