The dog seems to have quite a little success lol
In my profile picture it's my mom's cavalier.

Hello!

WOW! That is amazing!!! Do you mind sharing some tips with me, or letting me know what you did during that 6 months. I have been losing weight, but soooooooo slowly Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you!

Weekdays (Tuesday is rest, just a 30mn walk with my dog)

- 30mn of stationnery bike in the morning, and in general 1 or 2 blogilate videos (arms) as I'm afraid of loose skin in this area
- 30 minutes in the evening of stationnery bike (and if I'm really motivated up to an hour)

Weekends :
- 25mn of slow jog, 1,5 hour of swimming on Saturdays
- 1 hour of stationnery bike in the morning / 1 more in the afternoon on Sundays

It may seem a lot but I've always done stationnery bike and swimming more or less, so I didn't start from completly zero.

As for my "eating" routine, I upped my fruits and veggies a lot. For example, at lunch I used to have a sandwich (even in the first few months of my diet) but as I tried to eat healthier to feel even better, I replace it with veggies : for example kidney beans and/or green beans and/or lentils with lettuce and/or ham.
Doesn't take much more time just organisation : I prepare my plate the night before and just have to reheat it while I'm taking the dog for a short walk. And I feel I'm taking better care of my health - not that I think sandwich is unhelathy but it's important for me to eat as many vegetables as possible.

I have ups and downs (who doesn't?) but I now know my health should be a top priority, and even if I'm far from always perfect, I'm still going in the right direction, even if sometimes we fall/fail. If we get up we'll get stronger!!
