I’m in a total funk here lately. I’m unmotivated, bloated, eating everything in sight, tired, and even a little depressed. I’m ready for a change but I can’t even figure out where to start.
I’ve tried all the diets. I’ve done WW, keto, CICO, whole30, 21 day fix...and the only way of eating I stuck with was whole30. In 30’days I cooked a ton, ate tons of vegetables and healthy meals, lost 8 pounds and 10 inches, and felt damn good! But I know whole30 is too strict for the long term. What appealed to me most with Whole30 was eating real food and a lot of it (no shakes, no “low-fat” labels, no pathetic salads of iceberg lettuce and deli meat in a container the size of my fist). I wasn’t constantly weighing, measuring, or tracking every single thing. I just ate and stopped eating when I was full and stayed within whole30 guidelines.
I’ve considered just eating 80/20 right now...doing whole30ish for most of my meals and then occasionally grabbing my cold brew Starbucks drink with cream or a cookie or having a glass of wine...and once I get out of this slump, eventually get into a groove of tracking on MFP and becoming more strict with portion sizes. That seems bearable and a good start toward a healthier lifestyle.
As far as fitness...I have been doing Beachbody workouts at home and enjoy them for the most part. I feel more likely to work out because it’s right there in my living room. I can bust out 2 videos and be sweating and even sore and never have to leave my house. I am not a BB coach and kind of eye roll at the whole thing but I’m working to pay off debt so I gave up my $125/month boot camp membership.
But I guess my post is really just that I’m feeling like I’m unfocused in my approach. I’m not following a “plan” and don’t know whether I should be. I guess I just need advice/motivation/input on what I can be doing differently. I may also just need some tough love and someone to say “sister, shut up, count your calories and work out” lol. If y’all could help a girl get through the February blues and get my ass in gear, I’d appreciate all the help I can get!
