For me and for you…

Posted on by ageistproduction

So I am writing this post for me and for you. I am attempting to lose weight.

I have lost 10lbs so far. This is my plateau.

My body build is such that I will always be susceptible to being chubby. I know, I know, don’t shame yourself. But I assure I am not. I genuinely have come to realize over the last 5 years and two kids that it’s easy for me to put on weight and I am boxy shape. I am okay with it.

BIG BUT here, no pun intended. Though I won’t deny my God has provided a gift in the back.

I have been given an ability to lose weight fairly easily, at least a minimum of 10lbs on average pretty consistently when I am not at my best weight-wise. For this I am grateful.

ANOTHER BIG BUT here: I know my window of being able to lose this weight and keep it off for good is shrinking. I need to stay accountable to someone, and so I am doing so here. I will be keeping my website as my accountability partner and I will not be sharing this with socials because I found out the hard way that everyone and my family like to comment and not all of it is helpful.

I am also not the greatest at blocking out negativity. Again not shaming myself, known weakness and I choose to own it and seek to be better going forward.

At church we are starting 21 days of prayer and a lot is happening in my life and a lot of stress. I wish I could share more but, just thinking about it is triggering, and stress inducing so… Thanks but no thanks.

Instead,

I choose to share with you what my daily routine will be, and then everyday for the next 21 days I will write a post that will simply outline what I did, and what I didn’t do. I intend to also share my weekly experiences on my podcast Inner Thoughts: On My Way Home at the end of each week. I will also be sharing on Instagram posts of my routine so again another level of accountability.

So, having said all this below is the routine that I will adhere to over the next 21 days, a big thanks to any and all who want to join me:

Workout Routine 7 days a week:

Monday-Friday: 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 leg lifts, 100 Standing Leg-lifts & Twists, 100 Reverse Push-ups with TRX Static Bands

Thursday: 30minute Walk/Run

Saturday-Sunday: Rest/Stretch/Recovery

Time with God Everyday:

Honesty Tool + Journaling the Voice of God + 30minutes of Prayer = However long it takes

Every Friday Afternoon I will post a recap podcast episode talking about my general observations of the experience.

I appreciate all your support, love and prayers!
