I first started this journey a year ago, cutting out foods that were bad for me and watching how much I ate, with pretty good success! I dropped from my top weight of just under 190/size 12-13 and achieved near my goal (155-160lbs /size 9) a low weight of 168 after maybe 3-4 months of just healthy eating. I'm 5'10" and am looking to be the healthy weight for my height.
Unfortunately my struggle laid in maintaining or lowering my weight any more than that, the slightest slip in eating habits seemed to balloon me right back up, undoing in a few days what took a month to accomplish.
Now, over one year later and back up to 182lbs I'm beginning again...but this time I've finally accepted that as much as I may hate to sweat and visit the gym I hate my fat FAR more! So paired with healthy recipes, look out gym — here I finally come!
My Ongoing Journey from Flab to Fit
Here is a week at a glance workout log that I created based on some of the most useful data to me personally. Feel free to print and use if it suits you as well.
The Cardio/Class section can let you log things like a jog, elliptical, treadmill, or if you attended a fitness class.
The Exercise section is where I plan on logging any weight training style of exercise, there is a circuit of machines at the gym I will use fairly regularly, so week 1 may be mostly chest, shoulders and arms where my week 2 could be legs, and back. After a few weeks I will be able to quickly see where I’ve improved and where I need to push myself more.
I will be adding a weekly summary/goals log and a few other forms (meal tracker?) as I figure out what the best elements are that I want to include.
