Exercise and Weight Loss Group

I’m down to 165.2 lbs this morning. That’s down from 168.6 lbs. I’m losing approximately a pound a day by counting calories and measuring portions. I am absolutely determined this time to get down to 158 lbs. And I’m in it for the long term.

I limit my calories to 1250 per day. My portion size is either one cup or a palmful. And my limit is one serving.

I exercise regularly by practicing yoga and by dancing to high energy dance music.

Getting into running…apologies as don’t get back much these days as should have updated here…

Anyways. Been jogging more. Getting up to 3 km runs and doing good. Still so slow but goal is grind out the early game to get to 5k then ramp up the pace to do 3k…I think that is reasonable for my abilities but heaps more motivation and seriously. Look into keto for the weight loss…if your exercising it’s so much more beneficial in my mind and I’ve lost 24kgs ( 52.8lbs ). It was so easy and that low carb approach helps with sz symptoms for some…

It’s not easy that is the thing but it’s like going vegetarian for me…it’s a lifestyle choice and lo carb really is me these days and it’s working amazingly well even with mental symptoms.

I feel quite tense today, right shoulder is a little locked up still. I’ll hopefully return to gym tomorrow. One day rest is good me thinks.

Yeah rest days are so important with lifting. Do different muscle groups and then rest is still so important. Muscle growth and gains are so dependant on it!

I’m finally back on track with calorie counting.

Current calorie target :dart: is 1942 a day.

I calorie counted for years and quite recently I found I couldn’t do it anymore. But now like I said, back on track.

I should invest in a weight counter because I’m just freely going about exercising with no real benchmark as of yet. Next pay date probably

Planning on doing a 3 mile run tomorrow morning. I need to push myself harder when I run outside. I do great on the treadmill pushing myself. Not so great outdoors

When I was on Olanzapine my late night munchies were insane.

Completely under control now, thankfully.

Still waiting to be discharged from hospital. Near 5 months locked up.

Will be weight lifting in my living room gym throughout the week once I’m home.

Should be home soon. Hopefully next Monday.

I hate walking past beautiful women and feeling like a fat blob.

My physique back in March was fat but muscular. I looked huge. I had a big beard and a shaved head.

Everywhere I walked I garnered attention. People kept looking at me.

If I had that body and beard rn I would easily ask a woman for her number at a bar. Not that I even go to bars.

My life is so stale.
