Hey everyone! So today -kinda- marks 6 weeks of getting fit and healthy. I'd done a lot more this week than I have any other week, but again I think that has more to do with having a more positive outlook than I did before. If you're not motivated and ready for life in general and just a bit blah, the though of going for a run or walk or whatever instead of eating a chocolate bar doesn't really exist! Not for me, anyway.
Anyway, let's dive right in! As it's now 6 weeks in - with a bit of a gap in the middle - I thought I would do my regular week to week comparison, but also compare my original measurements to what they are now!
Measurements
I've not done as well as I thought I would this week, but at least I've not made a huge dent in my progress. I seem to have lost quite a bit of "size" around my top half, but put on some around my stomach and hips. I'm not entirely sure why, but I suppose it'll sort itself out.
Over all I've lost 3 inches. I'm pretty pleased with that to be honest! It's something, and at least it's something in the right direction. On average I've lost all over my body, except my hips that have all of a sudden decided to add half an inch.
I was half expecting to do a bit better this week, but I think it's majorly around my hips / stomach area that are bloated this week. I'm not measuring weight, so I'm not sure what it could be causing it as I have no guide to go by weather it's actually weight related or not.
Exercise
I've been tracking my exercise this week, and to be honest I'm really surprised - and embarrassed - by how little I actually move each day. I recently downloaded the app Moves, which trakes your steps, and I'm quite ashamed to say I only do about 2.000 steps of the daily 10.000 I'm meant to be doing.
Now that I can actually see and track what I'm doing - and not doing - I've put together some goals for the next week:
Now that I can actually see and track what I'm doing - and not doing - I've put together some goals for the next week:
- Take 5.000 steps a day or more. As I'm only taking 2.000 on average, I don't want to set myself up for failure and try to go from 2.000 to 10.000 in a day.
- Spend at least 45 minutes doing some type of exercise. I'm thinking more yoga or pilates, something that makes me concentrate and relax.
- Make more of a schedule for eating. I've been told that eating at different times each day can hinder any progress, because your body doesn't actually know when it's going to get it's next source of nutrients, etc. I'm pretty bad at this one, I don't eat with any regularity at all, and so I thought it might be something I should add into my daily routine.
Have you got any fitness or weightloss goals? Do you know any tips or tricks that could help with my progress?
