My journey from fat to fit! |
I’ve been trying to lose fat and get fit for a long time. This will be my blog about my fitness journey! |
Over the past few years I’ve dieted from January to March or April, then turned into a bloat lord during the summer months and gained it all back. In addition to dieting this year, I’m upping the ante with my workouts. I’m doing more repetitions during each set, and I’m lifting heavier weights. My goal is to lift frequently and consistently during this summer and try to get stronger on some of my lifts. I’ve got nothing better to do with my time, and I’ve got plenty of time. Before, I had to go to gyms to train, but it took a long time to get there and get home. Now, I’ve got a lot of equipment to train with at home, so there’s no reason to skip workouts or to just lift the same weight each workout. |
It’s been over a month since I last wrote in my fitness blog. I weighed 299 pounds yesterday and 297 pounds this morning. My downfall was going to Walmart with my brother in law Mikela and buying $40 worth of junk food. I stayed on a junk food kick until this past weekend. I decided that in an emergency if I needed to catch the bus I’m too out of shape now, so my goal is to lose weight and build muscle until I’m at a healthy body fat percentage and a healthy blood pressure. The bus stop is a mile and a half away, so at close to 300 pounds that’s too far for me right now. I’ve been walking each morning for 20 minutes over the past two days, and I’ve started lifting weights again. I got a really good pump in my biceps today, they felt great! I did two sets with 35 pounds and four sets with 40 pounds. I’ve stayed away from junk food for the past two days, and I’ve been watching Generation Iron videos I bought from iTunes for inspiration. Pursuing extrinsic aspirations such as financial success isn’t as important as having a healthy body. |
