For me, it's a case of knowing what I need to do... I just need to get off my butt and do it.

Between February 2020 and December 31, 2020, I dropped 58lbs. I'd like to drop some more, maybe another 20 or so, and I should be in goodish shape."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

In April I got an Oculus Quest (VR headset) and started doing VR workouts every day. It is a lot of fun and it really kicks my butt. Lost a little bit of weight and then in the Fall started running. Short distance stuff nothing too great. When the temperature dropped I went back to using the recumbent elliptical we have and we have a treadmill coming. I now exercise somewhere around 3-4 times a day (walk, VR boxing, VR strength/cardio and elliptical) for about 2-2.5 hours. Even after the holidays I am still down in weight a significant amount and fit in clothes I havent been able to wear since I was poor in my late 20s/early 30s. (when I was in my best shape)
The Pandemic has given me so much time even laziness got boring so now I work out all the time like a crazy person!
Nice work Clown!"It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

I've started back slow with walking local malls and box stores like Meijer. Tomorrow, starting back into Barre Blend and ChaLEAN Extreme (weights). I had to make sure the 15 lb limit was lifted.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

I’m working with a nutritionist right now. Spent first two weeks just tracking what I ate everyday for her. Looks like I was chronically under eating by 400 or so calories each day. It’s been a conscious effort to eat nearly 2000 calories a day for me- of course that is on pretty clean food, not junk.
hoping I can get my metabolism going better by getting calories up. I suspect my body has been storing a lot of fat due to the under eating- which wasn’t on purpose.
she’s likely putting me into a deficit once I get more days on the 1900 calories

I discovered after getting back into purposeful workouts, I'm happier, less stressed, and not as sore after a hard day's work.
As for my right foot, no changes, but it's not getting worse and I'm free to do yoga, Barre, and weights.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

My eating is where it needs to be, but the consistent workouts and the water aren't there. If I can get back to 4-5 days a week of 30-60 purposeful minutes and lots more water, I'll be good.
Also, between 210-214, I don't think I need to lose any more.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

I do have to credit Peloton for making me more consistent. Esp when it’s been a week since I’ve been able to walk outside thanks to the vortex.
Took a few financial investments for me though- bike, and nutrition coach. I’m eating the right amount of food and hitting macro targets. 20-30 mins on bike a day plus yoga/stretching and strength training 3-4 days a week. Peloton makes it easy and let’s be honest, so does being stuck at home

Between 210-214, I have no more weight to lose.
However, I notice my mental health has drastically improved with consistent workouts and better eating. I'm not perpetually bitter and angry. I'm not taking 4 hour depression naps while listening to Julien Baker and Adele unironically. I actually want to spend time with me. And the best part of all this: F It Amber is nowhere to be seen. My grades have improved in school, I'm doing better at my job, I'm taking better care of my abode, etc.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

I learned Jaromir Jagr has been doing 1,000 squats a day since he was 7 years old.
No wonder he can outskate players half his age.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

I stepped on the scale yesterday and it said 205. I probably could stand to eat more cow (and chicken, duck, pig....) with the amount of activity I get per day.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01
