Happy Friday evening y'all π
Several years ago I committed myself to getting healthy. I went from 260lbs to 180lbs (my target weight) over the course of 2-3yrs. I was doing all the things, lol.
Beach boot camp, yoga/meditation, intermittent fasting, a vegan detox program, self colonic, vitamins, cut back on sugar, hit the gym more often than not, at home exercises/dancing, etc. At the time I lived on the 3rd floor so walking up and down those steps while carrying bags added to my weight loss.
I prepared and cooked all my meals at home, drank more water than anything else, and got the proper amount of rest. I wasn't focusing on losing weight or counting calories. My main focus was just to get healthy as I was coming into my 40's. I was 5lbs from my target weight when I started doing kick boxing with my daughter months before she left for college.
After she left for school, I changed up my process to focus on strengthening my core muscles, back muscles, firming up my arms and legs and enhancing my stamina. I began preparing meals to help build more muscle mass. To accomplish my new goals I switched up my exercise routines as well. However, I did keep doing some of the previous exercises. And because I stopped being as active as I previously was, I gained back some weight.
Currently, my weight fluctuates between 225lbs and 235lbs. I am still not focusing on weight loss but I do keep track of it. Also, I haven't been doing much for my arms, so they are a little flabby. My breast are pretty large and heavy, so I also have some back fat to work on. I will be 46yrs old next month. So, this time around my focus will shift to weight training and stretching. I have a gym membership that I will be putting to use starting this coming week. I also have dumbbells and kettle bells to work on my arms and back at home.
Next level ascension here I come. πͺπΎππΎβ€οΈ
