Lost about 15lbs in the second half of 2020. Went from about 187 to about 172 (I’m f 5’5” in my 30s).
Weight started creeping back on early 2021.
Now I’m almost back where I started (about 183). I haven’t been in the right mindset to start counting calories again…but I think I finally got the motivation to try again. I hurt my back a couple weeks ago so exercise has been minimal…I guess that’s what made me realize I’m ready to start focusing on my eating habits again. Also my partner (m 30s) has recently started counting again. I don’t want to derail him with my bad habits…so I might as well jump back on the bandwagon.
I’m going slow. Half a lb a week would put my calorie limit at about 1900. I think I can do this. In the past I tried to be about 1500 and often went over…I’m hoping less drastic change will make this easier
I went to the store today and got a lot of single serving snacks. I love to snack especially at night…so I’m hoping this will help me no go overboard. Popcorn, chips, cookies, etc.
I also want to start cooking again. I haven’t done that for awhile. But we are doing some home improvements including some reorganization of the kitchen/dining room. I’m hoping the nicer space will inspire me to cook more.
