Well, I have not lost the weight I had hoped to by now but, on the other hand, I have not gained any weight. I enjoy my morning walks but it's time to add to my workout routine. This coming week and I am hoping to get in extra 20-minute workouts every day. I am not sure if I will do this in the morning along with my walking or wait until after work. I will probably start out doing them after work. I just need to be disciplined about it! I have been putting 20-minute workout videos on a YouTube playlist that I will use. They are all quite different kinds of workouts. I am hoping that the variety of exercises will keep me motivated.
I have also been struggling with my diet. I know that I eat too many carbs. I will be the first person to admit that. I love them and I cannot help it. And they are inexpensive. I tried cutting them out of my diet but that has obviously not worked. I tried to do intermittent fasting. I was doing the 10/14 version. It was ok but I feel like I was definitely eating more throughout those 10 hours than I would if I weren't doing the fasting program. And I have learned that if I eat a good, filling breakfast, I do not eat much at all for the rest of the day. Something to think about.
So, this week I will be adding some exercise in my afternoons. I will also be focusing on portion control with my diet. I think that is going to be key. I just have to listen to my body and not my mind telling me it's time to eat when I'm not hungry. Ah, well. First world problems. I will see how this goes and keep you all updated. I know you're dying to hear the results LOL
