If you’ve followed MyFitLife2Day, my weight loss journey hasn’t exactly followed a straight path. I've sort of taken the scenic route, with a few unexpected side stops along the way.
So anyway, here’s the update. I’m 395.3 pounds. And I’m still working on it.
Back to the basics
The plan is to eat around 2,000 calories a day, but that ends up being closer to 2,500 with unplanned snacks at work. Still, I'm paying attention to balanced macros, and I'm feeling a lot better with a more balanced diet. I’m not using weight-loss medication. I’m working with the same strategies I’ve written about for years: food, movement, consistency, and making choices that help me get where I want to go.
I’m not starting from scratch. I know what I've got to do and i know how hard I have to work if I'm going to get to where I'm going. I’ve lost a significant amount of weight before, learned about nutrition, and hiked mountains. I know my body can do a lot. I just have to follow through with my decision and not let my conditions get the best of me.
Getting ready for the next hike
Focusing on what I want my body to be able to do keeps me focused. I want more strength and mobility. I want to walk farther and more comfortably. And I want hiking to be a bigger part of my life again. I know what it feels like to reach the top of a mountain under my own power. I also know I’m not heading up one tomorrow. There’s some walking and strengthening to do first.
That’s okay. I don’t need to be at the summit today. I just need to keep building toward it. One healthy decision at a time.
