Last challenge I couldn't seem to get to my goal, so I set my goal more attainable. I adjusted my calorie intake and I'm starting to lose again! So I'm hoping to get the 240s out of the way and start working on the 230s!!! It would be amazing if I could reach 30 lbs lost near late March.

That way there's a 48 hour break for each group, and I keep each gym visit to ~1 hour. (I have yet to figure out how I'm talking myself into lunges. I hate those things.) I think it's important to limit the number of exercises per day and time it takes, so I continue to convince myself it is "no big deal" to go to the gym.
I think this is a good plan--it's really important to build the habit first, so I agree with the keep it simple and not too long so it seems fun (or not that overwhelming) until you really catch the bug (and even after--it doesn't have to take that long). Having exercises in mind when you go in and not just trying to figure out on the fly in the gym makes it feel so much easier too!
I'd recommend writing down what you do while you are there so you can build on it in the next session focusing on the same exercise. Trying to rely on my own memory was one of the mistakes I made in early days, and one reason I spun my wheels on weight training for a while (although I actually do think I learned a lot during those less focused times).
Lunges really do get better, IME--I used to hate them, and now I quite like them, and squats are my favorites!0 -
I think I've said this before, but I also love your wedding plans, Chia!
On the beer, depends what the difficult bit is, but for me when I quit drinking (although I understand you are just cutting back) it was the social aspect that seemed difficult, and just having something else in mind to get (diet coke, soda water, whatever) made it easier--it's amazing how standing there nursing something else doesn't feel any different, even in a crowd where everyone else seems to be drinking (but who knows!). I initially assumed it would feel weirder or be more awkward than it ever was.0 -
Tress,
As a cancer survivor I can relate to what you are going through. I had a really bad time after as I got out of my routine, and got depressed. I had to have a complete hysterectomy and ovary removal. It was tough to go through and quite scary. I gained and gained afterwards, I guess I just let the depression hit me. I finally got the help I needed and got better. 97 pounds gone I have so much strength. My Dr. ordered me to get the weight off as the type of cancer I have has a higher percentage of returning if I remain overweight.
Please know we are there for you and if you need support, we are here. Good luck to you, and your healing. I do hope you have a strong support system at home.
