I've got a goal or milestone to focus on for my weight loss journey and it has to be good.
I'm going to France in July of this year and really want to lose a decent amount of weight by then. Can I focus on 20-30 lbs? It's a work trip but it's still France, it will be hot and I want to be a little bit healthier for the trip.
I spoke to my doctor about GLP medications and while it's intriguing I've just heard so many negatives about it. 1.) you can't be on it forever and many gain back the weight they lost. 2.) It makes people look great in their body but their faces age considerably.
I've already had experience with weight loss medication, losing all my weight and gaining it back, so I know my limits on that one.
I'm already aging, just turned 62 this year, so I don't want to make myself look any older.
What can I do? I am continuing to use weight watchers, I just need to get more exercise. That will be my focus moving forward. At least 20-30 minutes a day for the first few weeks. Increasing with time since the better weather is on it's way.
I want this time around to focus on health, not how good I look in a pair of pants. I can't spend the rest of my days worrying about looking a certain way, but I should spend the rest of my days living my best life. I want to spend the rest of my days enjoying exercise and movement. This is going to be my main focus.
Losing weight is 80% kitchen but when you're like me and barely move all day, thanks to a desk job my entire life, it's really key to finding ways to exercise.
So my next few months of entries will be updates on my exercise routines. Getting at least 7000 steps per day.
