My current goals are just weightloss and gaining muscle, not quite an easy task 😢. I’ve managed to lose 20 lbs in the past 2 - 3 months by accident almost. For the most part, I don’t have any strict diet, but! I do try to eat for a calorie deficit. It’s can be annoying to try to count everything you eat, but it really helps for me. I used a scale for about 1 - 2 months, and you really get a sense of how much is in whatever you’re eating. From there, I just eyeballed everything and it’s worked for me I’d say.
As far as working out goes, I used to do yoga pretty often, I try to go to the gym 3 times a week and just do a basic 3 day split. Hiking is occasionally in there, rock-climbing and swimming on rare occasion.
I’m also on the goal of cutting and gaining at the same time, but it hasn’t been quite comfortable for me, so I switched to mostly cutting and gaining a little whilst maintaining. I noticed that I’ve been bulking more than cutting, (sometimes I have a tendency to focus on more than the other.) Luckily this went on for two months so I’m gonna start over with cutting.
I usually don’t focus on weight until I see some visual changes, like if certain places of fat disappeared or if I see a difference in muscle. It is quite annoying seeing your weight change and then go back to the way it was.
Yoga? How was it? I hear about it quite often and tried it once. It felt really relieving doing that session. I never knew how good breathing felt until I did that yoga exercise.
The last three hobbies you mentioned are very interesting. There’s a video where pole dancers do what rock climbers do, and rock climbers do what pole dancers do. It’s really interesting, you should check it out! :)) There’s also other videos where people of similar hobbies do what other hobbies do. Like gymnastics and parkour.
I’ve certainly had to be more aware when it comes to eating. I’ve been good about thinking about why I’m overeating at that moment (though I of course have my moments…a late night shitty burrito). I managed to lose uhhh something close to 20 lbs in a the past few months! I was shocked!
Yoga helps alot with going to the gym and staying limber! I feel like it also prompts me to be aware of my mind! A mindfulness of my physical body chills my mind in a way. I feel different, comfortable :). I was never originally into it, but someone I knew introduced me…Yoga with Adrienne has a 30 day series! I think the farthest I’ve gotten was like day 17? (the Home series)
I recently went climbing again!! I’ll see if I can find it!
