What a rollercoaster!
Yes it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster ride trying to get into the gym swing of things but I eventually got myself into it and back on the rollercoaster! I’ve lost 7 pounds and 3% body fat which I am happy about.
At the start I was simply trying to get myself familiar with the gym again and since having a baby I didn’t want it to be too strenous on my muscles and joints. At first I wanted to achieve my results quickly so I would push myself so hard that my muscles would be so sore and then I wouldn’t want to go to the gym again for a while. I ended up with excuses of why I didn’t go…slept in … to tired… can’t walk …. etc etc. I got tired of listening to my own excuses and decided a different approach was needed.
I started weight training, first it was a total body workout for a few weeks then I started to implement training different body parts on different days and I then started to add some cardio. Now I train 5 days a week Monday to Friday and I have Saturday and Sunday off. My diet on the other hand has been all over the shop but just recently I’ve been really careful of what I’m eating also and that’s when I saw the weight trainig, cardio and diet all had a part in my 7 pound loss (3kg) so far (I know its not much but to see this result was a great feeling). I feel I have the necessary tools now to achieve my fat loss and weight loss goals.
I just have to keep at it.
