…not too lazy though! 5,000-6,000 steps a day usually! And I would work out occasionally, just not regularly like I should, and get long walks in on warmer days even if that wasn’t often! I only gained 2 pounds this winter, and that’s at a normal weight. I’m 5’1, so 2 pounds kind of is more than what it sounds like, but that will come off in the summer because I’ll enjoy being active! Outdoor activities can be more enjoyable than working out.
It doesn’t help that I don’t like the cold now lol. Neither do most people over here where I live, regardless of weight, because we don’t go outside much here in the winter! But I used to be brave about going outside…that changed as I got older, nothing to do with losing weight, just more used to indoors as I don’t go out as much and I have a little bit of a safety instinct about cold, like I’m my own mom lol. I’m 25, not 21 anymore!
So I’ve been spending just a little bit of time waiting outside in the cold and saving a little more energy to get used to it. This will get easier. That “safety instinct” to avoid cold even for less than a minute doesn’t help with activity.
I’m not at an ideal weight after this winter, but still in the normal range. I’ll up my steps, eat 200-300 fewer calories than before, and reward myself when I get to 119 pounds, with an outdoor concert given that the weather will be warmer by then (slow loss).
