Hi!
For the last two and a half years I have been lifting weights, doing cardio, and calorie counting which all resulted in losing 170 pounds. :)
But let's talk about goals! In the beginning I realized that we as humans are ever changing (body, mind, life) and there is no such thing as being "done". This concept used to scare me - what do you mean I'll never be done?? This shit is exhausting! I don't want to feel like i'm trying or "struggling" to stay "under control" forever.
I say this in past tense because only very recently have i actually FELT a massive shift in my body. I started running to the gym instead of driving, then taking walks on my lunch breaks, and finally going for long runs on the weekends along with my lifting throughout the week after work.
But I only started doing these things because i suddenly started craving them. I don't want to sit around all day - moving my body is so much easier and more enjoyable than i ever remember. I no longer want to binge on junk food on the regular (but I definitely still grub in moderation) So finally 170 pounds later I'm realizing that "active" people (which I never would have considered myself) actually enjoy being active rather than choosing to do it for the benefits. There's such a huge difference in the feeling between working out because you know it will benefit you eventuallyyyyy vs. working out because you want to.
And guess what? It's fucking FUN after a while. I'm so glad I kept going! It's now a lifestyle and not a chore. I always hated the phrase "make it a lifestyle" because it sounded forced. That IS forced. Cause by the time it's a lifestyle for reals - you'll look back and realize you don't make it happen anymore, it's just a part of who you are.
I feel so good I'm done with goals. Im just living the life. ππ️♀️π♀️
