I restarted my fitness journey this summer after moving across the country with my boyfriend. I’ve lost almost 25lbs (depending on the days fluctuation lol) and we have been pushing ourselves to go to the gym together 5/7 days of the week. Which doesn’t always happen, but we really do our best. I lost 20lbs just by counting calories and walking. Nothing else. I didn’t lift, didn’t do bike, nothing. I’m proud of myself for sticking with walking, it was an easy way to get myself moving and start off! Now, I have added the arm/back machines at my local planet fitness. My routine is 30 minutes cardio then 15-20 on those machines.
I became a little bored with walking, and wanted to switch it up, so I tried the elliptical. I love how much it makes me sweat, but I hate the machine. It’s doing what it is supposed to, which is make my legs work.But it hurts so bad, it’s just so strange that I was up to 12 incline on the treadmill with almost no problems, and them level 1 on the elliptical kicks my butt!
Another thing is.... calories. I count everything but right now it’s so hard to stay on track. I want to snack on my whole pantry. I was at 1500 and losing, went up to 2100 and maintained (I think that was too high for me to make progress) and now for this week I’m working my way back down starting at 1800 and specifically focusing on my protein and water intake.
Do I seem to be missing anything? Am I doing anything wrong?
