Nice! That's always helpful when your job lends itself to physical fitness. Nothing like getting your workout naturally, really the best way. What is it that you are having to do now, if I may ask?
As for me, I've done okay. Just sort of been maintaining, so that's good. Part of the reason is it's gotten pretty cold up here in the mountains and walking around outside is sort of un fun unless the sun is out. And even then it's been snowing a lot lately so the ground has been icy. Which means I am spending a lot of my day inside and sitting, which is not ideal for physical well being. I still try to go for a short walk every day, but usually no more than a mile, so I'm not sure how much good it's actually doing. Oh well. If I can just maintain until I get through New Years I'll feel a lot better. Then all of the sweet temptations will be gone.
Are people actually still doing this?
Since I've moved, my God, I really believed my weight would go down so fast, because who cooks for themselves? lol
Boy, was I wrong. My weight has been going up ever since.
I keep telling myself, I have to do something about it, every single day, but I just keep eating :/
I've actually started walking yesterday, thought I'd make it a habbit to do a 30-minute walk every evening, but it's like, 25°C right now with no wind and no air to breathe.
I don't have work tomorrow, so think I'll put on a DVD and the Wii Fit, and do some "walking" on the Wii board while watching a DVD, lol.
^That's no good, probably snacking more instead of healthier meals?
In good news for me, turns out my new job role has helped me to lose a bunch of weight :D I also have been doing pretty well with my eating which has certainly helped. I've lost about 6kg, since Christmas but I don't think I've lost any more the past two months. But the great part is that I'm maintaining the loss well. :) Yay, go me. :p
I wouldn't really call it snacking, more just eating 24/7 :lol:
I joined a yoga class about 2 months ago, its like non-sweaty exercise lite. It's just something to stay sane and healthy, office/desk jobs are absolutely terrible on your orthopedic health, after 12 years I have more inflammation, pinching nerves and misaligned joints than I ever would've imagined.
I've been working like a month and half now, so far I only eat outside or having a big meal during the lunch break for budget purposes. But the good news is? I'm surprised that one of my old favorite jeans could fit in with my tummy, and I feel that my 36 inch jeans are rather loose now, I doubt my weight is changing but as long as my waist getting shrink day by day I'm a happy lad.
(American) Football workouts are beginning for me, which means a lot of weightlifting, running, and hitting drills. I can feel a lot of strength coming back already, but my god does waking up in the morning hurt to no end.
That also hurts without all those work-outs :lol:

Also I cook about 84% of all my meals and mainly snack on fruit or couscous... I'm Surprised because I actually use to be really lazy and eat rubbish. I think if you get to the routine of it, it can really stick especially if you enjoy it too.
Turns out I've lost another 1kg, go me :) Feeling pretty good about that. At this point I probably don't need to lose any more, but it wouldn't hurt if I did either. I could probably lose another 1-2kg before I started looking skinny, as in, bordering on too thin skinny.
Wish I had that much willpower.
Though, I've started out good since Friday, and actually making my own food, instead of getting it from someplace.
I'm good during the school year, but during the summer I don't really get out for exercise much. It's too hot and my sister works later because of their summer events.
I just entered Martial Art class, Not just for losing weight buy sharpen my thoughts and getting a body builder like body.
I have found An easy and brilliant way to get fit and loose a few pounds lately... It's called Pokemon Go app. Addictive.
Unless you're like me and just drive around. :lol: It's too hot right now. Maybe in a few months, I can go walking to hunt Pokemon.
I want that app to be available in Mexico so badly. Then I'll lose those pounds too :p
There is an APK version for Andriod and a trick if it's IOS ;) I live in the UK where it has not yet been offically released but I've bumped into so many people playing it on the streets and have been asked countless times by strangers if I'm catching Pokemon....
I'm not ashamed to say no either especially at my age lol.
I'm from Belgium and my sister has it also already. She's finally getting out of the house after 21 years and doing some excercise, haha :lol:
Just be careful with the APK versions. There are apparently a lot of malicious ones going around.
I think I'll just wait until it officially comes out on iOS here, in the mean time I'll keep enjoying the memes and news about it (they're all so hillarious) :p
Right, I've taken all the lemonade out of my fridge! I do not touch anything to drink if it's not out of the fridge, and if I do, that's where my icecubes come in, and I haven't filled up my tray either, haha!
I've had about 18 bottles of water left, and putted a few in the fridge, forcing myself to use those, because they are cooled and the lemonade isn't, lolz.
Mind tricks, haha.
Also started to really make an effort, how lazy I may be (and I am super lazy!) to actually cook for myself. It's just so boring making dinner for 1 -_-
But all may contribute to a better lifestyle.
My parents were here over the weekend, and my dad saw my Wii-fit standing in front of the TV "so, did you loose weight yet ????" no, thank you for asking :( :lol:
I'd be out and about 24/7 if I actually had a phone with data.Quote:

I don't necessarily need to lose weight, but my whole "I'll just eat a box of cereal"-meal plan is pretty bad for my health >p<
Although I have gained some weight since moving...
I want to try everything, leading me to eat absolutely everything :p
Also, I've been eating a ton of baby food.
DON'T JUDGE ME! D:
Dollar tree has a sale thing going on where you can buy 3 packs of baby food for a buck.
Each pack has 2 containers.
So 6 containers (with actual nutritional values!) for a dollar.
Basically, for the price of a box of cereal, I can get 18-24 containers of food. >p<
What's even better is that each container only has about 80 calories!
So I'm working on eating that, and more fruits and vegetables :p
And I'm also trying to get more cycling into my daily activities. I used to cycle everywhere, but there's no sidewalks or safe roads around, so yeah...
I'm pretty active (with 3 dogs and a house to keep clean), but it's not hard for me to gain weight :p
What kind of sucks though, is that I forgot to buy a scale, and currently don't really have a ton of money to spend, so I can only hope I'm losing weight >p>

More on-topic though; Yesterday I only ate about half of what I got, so now I've got half a Chick-fil-A salad, and half a chicken calzone in the fridge :D
I'll probably finish those things, along with some fruits...
Yeeah, my whole plan in relation to this thread kind of went out the window a long time ago :lol: I think I've been putting on some weight this year, but I stood on the scale the other day and I don't actually weigh as much as I thought. So that's nice, at least :P None the less, I do want to lose a few kgs and get into better shape, so I've also started doing what everyone else does - playing Pokémon GO xD The eggs really are a great motivation to get out and about. Loving the 90s revival too :p
That's a shame :pQuote:

Looks like I'm really missing out by not playing a lot of Pokémon Go :emo:
A little more on-topic: I finished my calzone, considering it was a tiny one and counted as both breakfast and lunch, makes me feel no-so-guilty about it :p
No idea what I'll be having for diner, though. Probably just some fruit as I've got some watermelon, cantaloupe, and apples lying about ^-^
I just started taking Krav Maga lessons! :D It's quite physically demanding, but I've found it really cool so far
For those wondering what that is, it's a form of martial arts developed in Israel, with a main focus on self-defense in various real life case scenarios (they teach you to disarm someone pointing a gun at you and stun them, for example). Some of the students are actually victims of mugging, which is sadly common here, but the instructor is a very encouraging person, and makes everyone feel welcome keeping the class very motivated and even fun.
I really needed the fitness, but they told me learning Krav Maga also helps as a way to boost confidence, which is a very welcome bonus :)
Finally some good news to report... After a few years of only gaining, for the past month I've been only drinking water, done quite an amount of walking (outside and on my Wii fit, lol), watching what I eat, mainly the amounts, trying to stay below a certain amount of calories. I was sick a month ago, so it did help make a new start (again), and had to go to the doctor last week.
For some reason she weighed me, and turned out I had lost 2 kg in 35 days
(As 35 days was the last time I stood on a scale)
Really trying to keep it up.
Normally Sunday is fries-day, but in the past 4 weeks I've only gotten that once.
And smelling it everyday because my windows are open doesn't help, lol. There's 2 places I can get them from, in 2 minute walking distance, so I think I'm doing pretty well ^^
