Fat Free Friday: Phase Two Fitness

I went into this summer nervous that I wouldn’t be able to hang onto the habits I’ve only just started forming.

Now, summer is wrapping up and I’ve still managed to lose 25 pounds!

The progress has been unreal to me. I haven’t had a transformation like this in almost ten years!

In my last post, I mentioned phase two of my journey. While I jumped into developing a new way of eating and cutting back foods, I knew I needed something that was going to help me exercise and maintain a healthy weight loss.

Enter “Faster Way to Fat Loss.”

I was hesitant to join a program because I don’t like being held accountable. Who does? I was afraid of failing and afraid of not getting the results for which I was hoping. However, it was necessary. I needed to incorporate fitness into my life, and I needed extra motivation to make it through my schedule and avoid temptations to eat all the unhealthy summer snacks.

This program has been giving me the tools to have a slow, but steady method to losing weight. It includes intermittent fasting, lots of water, carb cycling, and regular exercise. Most of the work has been done for me and I just need to show up for it.

The workouts are intense, but I’m getting stronger, and I wake up every day feeling more slim. I look forward to every pound that goes down, even if it’s slow. Before, I was probably putting my body into shock with the abrupt drop in weight, but now, it’s a more steady loss.

Some of my wins besides the weight loss include:

Learning to love meal prepping and trying new foods.

Going up in weight with my dumbbells.

Feeling my clothes fit differently.

I have my days when I feel less motivated and tired. Even days when I’ve gained a pound or two back.

I just keep going, because this time, it feels like it might actually be possible.
