*Cut update*: 8 weeks in, down about 6 lbs (checking measurements this weekend), starting to see core again, clothes fitting a tiny bit better, getting great sleep, staying hydrated, still lifting @ home & minimal cardio besides steps.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(PS: I’ve “earned” my right to diet by NOT being in a deficit year round! I was at maintenance most of the year & then a surplus from nov-feb).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I started my calorie deficit on February 17th.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚫I have NOT been perfect, girrrrlll please 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first 4 weeks were a blur of trying to get back into a deficit routine & figuring out my game plan.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A damn global pandemic happened a few weeks after I started.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍸🍸🍸There were a few days of despair, stress eating & lots of drinks & just not giving AF, to be honest.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s important to feel all the feels.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But we can’t stay there.
We work through it.
We DECIDE who we want to become.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Things to remember:
1️⃣Keep calories & macros as high as possible when starting a deficit!
-this helps prevent getting burnt out/Over eating
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣Lift weights or use resistance bands or killer body weight exercises to keep muscle maintenance.
-This is HELLA important for keeping metabolism high.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣GIVE YOURSELF MORE TIME.
-you’re going to give in every once in a while. It’s OKAY. We’re not perfect. Just keep showing up day after day after day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This current body is the accumulation of the last 3+ years of choices: good, bad & the setbacks.
💕Nowhere where I want to be but proud of where I am.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻The point isn’t to reach some “goal”,
it’s to continually show up month after month & reinforce the positive habits of BEING someone who cares about their nutrition & movement.
