I've been feeling pretty insecure about my weight recently. I think it's because I feel myself eating more processed foods and really loading up on sugar. I also have been feeling overly full everytime I snack or eat so more so about the unpleasant feeling that overeating has brought me more than my appearance. I overall have a good self image and am very happy with myself but I always think one can improve themselves. I'd be happy with just a 5 pound difference in weight. I'm hoping that eating more nutritious foods will also boost my mood and energy.
I have a remote job so I unfortunately sit a lot of the day, so my first goal is going to be getting steps in. My average steps in the last month (Sep 6 - Oct 6) is 3909. I'm going to aim for 8,000 steps a day minimum. I have a walking pad and go for walks but a 30 minute walk is only about 3k steps and the walking pad is an even slower pace so it's hard for me to be able to get my steps without spending hours walking. I honestly don't know how people do it.
I also go to the gym pretty consistently. However, I have had a lot of weeks recently where I haven't gone at all. I usually lift and sometimes do yoga so I'm going to try to be more consistent with my regiment on top of more consistent going.
My plan:
- walking pad from (10:15 - 11:30) 2 miles ~ 5k steps
- walk - after work 1 mile ~ 2.5k steps
- Monday: Pilates
- Tuesday: REST
- Wednesday: Yoga
- Thursday: Legs
- Friday: Upper/Cardio
- Saturday: Legs
- Sunday: REST
- GYM schedule:
For right now, I am still not home so the schedule will be a little different but i stopped feeling sick today so tomorrow will be a gym day!
October 7
Today ended up not being a gym day because work was super busy. That feels really bad to say but I'm alone right and I think I would work a lot more/harder if I was on my own in general. I'm thankful for having people in my life that keep me from that kind of life. However, I did go for a 2 mile walk so I'm currently at about 6700 steps but I realize now, as I'm typing I set my goal to be 8k. I did okayish with food tho. I probably didn't overeat, it's hard for me to tell because I had pasta for diner and that's calorie dense but I didn't eat too much before/after that so I probably stayed under 1800 calories for the day. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get my steps in for the day but I'll try to get 7000 at least.
