Week 2? More like week 1
Didn’t get fully into mode last week, much more spot on in the zone now. Had to change the pace a bit, rearrange my workouts with this new diet. Just got done with my first deadlift workout for over a month! My stomach was ridiculously large as I did my dead lifts in front of the mirror. What I gained I gained just in fat I’m sure. Ewww. The positive thing I take from it is, that as fat as I am, it is still lighter than I had been for years and it now seems like my fat weight, which I feel means mentally I am embracing my lighter weight and feeling much more positive about being lighter. Losing wt and becoming stronger I have found is mostly mental. There has nothing holding me back to do this really before except myself. (although I do also have the blessing of a wonderful trainer that has improved the quality of my workouts immensley) I had the diet knowledge for years and years, how I ought to be eating and living, just didn’t do it. How come? Why was being so fat and out of shape ok with me? All sorts of reasons but thankfully I have been making positive changes in my attitudes and now they are showing in my body, which I intend to continue to improve, even if it comes in stages, one step at a time. I think I seem to like to make progress, pause for bit, then move forward again. But this round I really do need to make it to my goal under 200#, and then to never to return over that again. Then 175 and then 150. After that I will be finding out what I’m really made of.
Well, 1 day closer. Off to have some chicken breast!
