Hello!
I’ve decided to start making a big change and actually tracking my food to help with maintaining a healthy diet. I’m currently eating pretty well but there are still factors that put negatives into my diet, such as ice cream 🤣 I recently rejoined my old gym but had to put off working out to much due to getting a new tattoo. I enjoy various types of working out and try not to just stick to one thing due to getting bored. Right now I’m trying to do more yoga on my off days to help increase flexibility and help with soreness and will be doing more cardio for a moment to help my body adjust. Before I took my break, I was mainly focusing on strength building due to my arms and back not really having any strength. I stepped on a scale for the first time in a while the other day, typically don’t because I find them intimidating, and wasn’t pleased with my weight. The hard part is determining what works well for my body, as I’m not really built to be fully skinny, but come from a long line of muscle in women in my family. I’m interested in peoples different opinions and tips they have to offer. My main areas I desire to work out is my abs, muffin top(let’s be honest here), my glutes, arms and back. I don’t want to look a weight lifter but I need to loose inches in my midline while building strength, but it can hard when ylu have so many different goals you desire to accomplish. Starting for the next couple of weeks, I will be taking a step back to readjust and mainly focusing on yoga a cardio and then will incorporate additional workouts. I find this challenging due to having a bad back, neck, hips and right knee. Weight lifting and mobility in workouts has always been a constant struggle for me, so anyone who suffers from these things and has found alternatives please notify me!
