Lea's "Let's Get Healthy!" Accountability Thread

[Azerane]

Changed job roles this week at work to a more physically demanding role. I get the feeling I'll lose a fair bit of weight I can already feel it keeping me more fit

[Kasei]

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 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.

[nathalie]

I wouldn't really call it snacking, more just eating 24/7

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.

[nathalie]

That also hurts without all those work-outs

That also hurts without all those work-outs

It hurts the soul.

I am pretty much active most of the day I generally sleep about 4 - 5 hours a day I do 5 ten hour shifts Monday to Friday and gym for 2 hours a day 4 times a week. Then Work another 8 hours on the weekend while doing the occasional 10 or 20 mile bike ride now the weathers nicer and also ride to and from work daily. 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.

[Azerane]

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.

[nathalie]

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.

[HasiraKali]

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.

[Guntur]

I just entered Martial Art class, Not just for losing weight buy sharpen my thoughts and getting a body builder like body.

[Zomok]

I have found An easy and brilliant way to get fit and loose a few pounds lately... It's called Pokemon Go app. Addictive.

[HasiraKali]

Unless you're like me and just drive around. It's too hot right now. Maybe in a few months, I can go walking to hunt Pokemon.

[Leorgathar]

I want that app to be available in Mexico so badly. Then I'll lose those pounds too

[Zomok]

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.

[nathalie]

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
