I have massive avoidance tendencies, so I spent this last year of Covid etc not looking in mirrors and generally wearing very baggy clothes. Now that it's summer again and blisteringly hot, I finally forced myself to step on a scale. I'm exactly at the cusp of 'obese'. I don't feel that I look TOO terrible but I don't like that the weight is centred a lot around my tummy in the front. I look ok from the the front, but when I turn to the side.....damn.
This week on Sunday I started doing two 24 hour fasts per week, working out 5 times a a week (3 cardio, 2 kettlebell circuit training sessions), and eating calorie deficit.
I already feel better after just one week of this change and I'm back down 2kg. Back out of the 'obese bracket'. But now I feel super motivated to actually make a change. I want to see results, not just the number on the scale, but changes to my body composition. I want to be able lift heavy things. I want to enjoy dancing again without dying of exhaustion after 10 minutes. I want to feel confident and healthy again.
Been overweight since college, but I was decently fit even being overweight. I really let myself go over the pandemic. I know I'm not really alone on that one though. I'm just upset I didn't take the pandemic opportunity to get in shape.
But better late than never, right?
