Weight loss and healthy eating for a debt free life

redofromstart

I have had a busy run with the house stuff so high steps but not 'exercise' as such but along the way my bedroom is clearer and I have full access to use the floor which will help.  I also cleared access to the dining room based Bowflex trainer, although I don't think I am fit enough to use it properly yet.  Small steps.  

Eating, mixed bag really.  Far too many nuts which are great nutrition but a lot of calories. 

I am definitely more flexible and can stand on one leg/sit on the floor and stand up again without assistance which is a huge improvement.  Can't quite sit cross legged yet.

My new ‘regime’ seems to be progressing okay. I’ve lost c. 1.5lbs over the last 10 days or so and my posture is improving.
Managed to get out for a short walk most days.
Doing the GG things.
Stopped doing the free weights every day as my shoulders started to whinge a bit. Will aim for every other day next week.
Took a yoga mat and meditation cushion upstairs to my bedroom so I can do stretches late evenings. Managed to get three sessions in 😊

I shall continue … 😉

Morning all, I've been keeping my paper diary going (I use two pages, on one side I list supplements I've taken and how I'm feeling so healthy, and the other side is my diet) i have noticed clear patterns. Eating windows work well for me, so if I finish my window at a reasonable time like 7pm I sleep better. I also have more energy which allows me to move more and do more. I also can't eat quite as much bad stuff although on a couple of days I've given it a good go. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
Eating is varied there is always fruit and veg and salad every day but there is usually something naughty in there too because I just can't seem to help myself. 
I've been to the gym around work so doing okay with that too. I will weigh in on Tuesday but I'm not convinced I've lost anything 🙈. Trousers still tight. Still feeling bloated. We'll see...
Well done to everyone for keeping going, Jan and Feb are the hardest months for me personally with mental health and diet because I just want to eat and sleep.

@redofromstart I consider any movement exercise 🤣 it's better than just sitting, you're still burning calories. Improving flexibility is also good...I've noticed I'm slightly more flexible since I've been doing leg stretches where I had my leg pain and could barely walk never mind walk 1.5 miles and jog both of which I've done this week. Smallest things can make the biggest differences.

I would agree with you @debtfreewannabe321 especially when the weather is dreadful at the moment. 

I must start doing some yoga type stretches. Def lacking in this. 

This week I have no excuses to not go to line dancing. Haven't been pre christmas what with various things going on. Will be feeling it the day after no doubt!
