Goal Setting + Update: Fitness Journey

This post is brought to you by our sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.

In chapter 6, Success Begins In The Mind, really spoke to me.I didn’t put on weight overnight and I can’t expect to lose it that way either. What I know is, for me, slow and steady wins the race. I have to take my time and be consistent. So what have I been up to? I’ve made up my mind that I no longer want to be the same. I want to have the energy to play outside with my kids and hang out with friends without feeling exhausted.  

Changing my eating has been the hardest part of the process but it’s becoming doable with the easy recipe substitutions. I have added 1-2 mile walks to my schedule 3 times a week.I had to start slow and listen to my body. When it got difficult I slowed down and went at my own pace. I even got my children involved and they have been a huge support in the journey of losing weight. 

In the book, they also introduced the concept of intermittent fasting. I’ve tried it before but wasn’t able to stick with it after having surgery. However, this has boosted my confidence in trying it again. 

“Intermittent fasting really shines when it comes to improving the hormones that directly affect your hunger, blood sugar, and metabolism. One is insulin. IF combats insulin resistance, meaning that it helps your body use insulin more normally, thereby lowering your diabetes risk and boosting your metabolism.”

I have a family history of diabetes and at my last visit my doctor is choosing to watch me closely as I’m borderline; which has truly fueled my need to change my life. I can’t wait to see what the next few weeks and months have to bring. In the meantime, check out these helpful tips.
