Week 75: 6/16/19 – 6/23/19

June 23, 2019 13 Comments

This past week felt like an important challenge for me. To start the week off, I met up with my gym coach for a monthly check in. This was the first check in I did this. At the check in, I got weighed in and we set up short term and long term goals for myself.

One short term goal I made for myself was to start to go to the gym at least 3 times a week. I thought  that this would have been easy but I found myself throughout the week mentally trying to make excuses from not attending the gym. It is very weird to me how just one slight thought of doubt or “I’ll just go tomorrow” can affect your mindset. I was easily able to attend the gym on Monday but all day Tuesday I found myself making excuses. The main excuse I had was  “my body is sore, I should just rest and go tomorrow.” I fought through all these negative thoughts and ended up going to the gym that day as well. I did kickboxing on Monday and Tuesday and boot camp on Thursday.

After going to the gym it had me thinking was that really so bad. When I had that mindset it was much easier for me for the rest of the week. I felt more at ease and more motivated to stay on track. If you saw my IG stories then you would have seen what I was eating. For breakfast, I was eating a Blueberry Kind bar and 2 mandarins. For snacks, I ate green apples and for lunch, I ate whole wheat peanut butter sandwiches. One way I found to curb my hunger was by drinking before I ate. I felt more full after a serving of food and was able to stay hydrated. I drank 15 cups everyday. I feel like if I keep up with this, I will finally be able to get into that routine I need.

For the long term goal I set up with my gym coach, I said to lose 30 pounds by my birthday. I said that on 6/17 and my birthday is on 7/16. Now this is reachable but I don’t plan to hurt myself to reach this goal. I just wanted to set a difficult goal so I can stay very focused on my journey. I felt like setting short term and long term goals for myself is something I have been missing since I started this journey. It is good to know what exactly you would like to achieve.

So far everything has been going well. Losing 3.5 pounds is a great way to get back on track. I plan to keep up this same routine for this week coming up. One adjustment I will make is to avoid getting second servings for dinner. If I can do that I felt that I will see another big loss for this upcoming weekend.

6/16/19: 284.4 lbs; BMI: 45.2

6/23/19: 280.9 lbs; BMI: 44.6

LOST: 3.5 lbs; BMI: 0.6

  1. Good job! Planning your meals is key because weight loss is 80% diet and 20% gym. I write my goals down too. One of the things I eliminated was cakes, muffins, doughnuts, cookies, and pie. I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. Don’t focus on the scale but how your clothes fit and the fit of your clothes. No soda and or juices (liquid satan).

  6. “I would like to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in writing this blog. I really hope to check out the same high-grade blog posts from you later on as well. In fact, your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to get my own site now ;)”
