Mucky's Diary

For many reasons (Kids, surgeries, covid lick down, remote work), I have allowed my self care to be a low priority. This has resulted in poor fitness and weight gain. At the end of June we are taking a family vacation to a large amusement park and a big city. I want to fit comfortably in all the rides and be able to keep up with all the walking.
Therefore, my goal is to weigh under 200lbs, have a body fat percentage of <40%, and be able to walk 10mi in a day. I plan to do weekly diary entries so please keep me accountable!!
I started this Journey on Jan 6 and weighed 235.6lbs, getting <2000 steps a day, and was over 50% body fat.
Today I weigh 230.4lbs and 49.5% body fat. This week I have been getting over 4000 steps for most days, went for a walk 4 days (about .75 mi), and did strength exercises 4 days.
I'm concentrating on getting fresh fruit and veggies in every meal, and increasing protein consumption.

My daughters have decided they want to work out with me. I'm going to have to triple up our home exercise equipment for family exercise sessions. Today I did a 15 min walk, an arm weight lifting session, and some restorative yoga.1

Congrats on your loss! It is great your daughters want to join, you are setting a fabulous example. Maybe try doing circuits - so each ofb ou do one thing then switch - instead of buying a ton more equipment. Good luck and we are here cheering you on.0

Tommow will mark 2 weeks on my exercise routine, and thursday was 1 month on this weightloss journey. One month results are 229.8bs and 49.1% body fat. I've also lost 1in from my waist.
I work better with a laid out plan I can follow without much thought. So, I've been following a walking training schedule which should bet me up to my goal of 10mi in a day in about 20 weeks: https://www.royalmarsden.org/sites/default/files/2017-07/training-guides.pdf
On top of that I've been doing a 15-20 min strength workout cycling between core, arms, and legs. I got 6months of fitbit premium with my new fitbit, so I've been doing thier workout videos.
