Really didn't feel like it this morning, but I eventually got up to do a half hour workout at 8am. Went with Sydney Cummings again and it felt great and is highly recommended: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-k-JOR1sz4&t=511s
Something she said at the end was not to strive for perfection, but rather consistent effort, which is what I'll try to do again this year. Did 7500 steps on Sunday on a nice outdoors walk, which we'll hopefully do once or twice a week. I also want to get back to at least 3 x 30min strength workouts this week and work my way up to 4 x 40min at some point, but starting slowly. Made it through the workout, but felt a moment of dizziness in the shower and feeling a bit shaky now, but I want to try to get back to normality so will push on with some vacuuming later as well.
I've set my goal weight as 62,5kg (changed from 65kg). Hoping I can do it as I struggled to get below 65 last year and it will be a challenge, but I think it was a good weight when I was there before. This time if I reach it I'll have to find a way to maintain it - I think last time it helped that I was doing a parkrun each Saturday so perhaps I need to find some similar cardio to do alongside my strength workouts.
Hubby wants to get to a healthier weight this year too so he is starting at 124kg and aiming for 110kg - he's 2m tall. He wanted to give himself a year for the challenge, but I said in the past when we did that he'd only start really working on it in September or something so I've convinced him to go for July so our goal date is the 2nd of July (as my weigh-in days are Friday). Also a good date since it will be our first summer in England in something like 18 years. Whoever reaches their goal has to give the other £50 and if we both reach it we'll just go out for a nice dinner together. Secretly I'm hoping I win so I can get a full dumbbell weight set-up, but I think I might get that for myself at some point anyway.
I handed in my passport to hopefully get my UK Spouse Visa approved and stamped in it, on the 11th of Dec, so will hopefully get it back sometime before March if all goes well. So then we'll have to start thinking in pounds again and my first purchase once we get settled will be a new gym matt and some heavier weights as we're not shipping over our belongings - only taking what we can as onboard luggage - and starting fresh. There are still some things to sort out like selling our car right at the end and opening a bank account there and such, which I hope won't be too stressful.
We'll be staying with my sister-in-law and niece when we first get there so I'm looking forward to spending some time with them and having a bit of a holiday then, but first the next two months will be a bit strange and peculiar so hoping that keeping track of my calories and workouts here on FatSecret will help me stay sane. Also hope we'll be able do some small, social distancing, low-key farewells with individual family and friends before we go.
This week I'm aiming to be around 7500 calories for the weekdays (average 1500 calories a day) and then hoping to keep the daily average around 1750 by the end of the week. I should be aiming for 1700, but I'll give myself a week to ease into it. Have bought some healthy fruit and veg so starting to eat well today - yesterday I was still comfort eating - but I'm looking forward to some fresh produce for the rest of the week.
Well, that's my plan for the first half of 2021. Looking forward to seeing more of what everyone else is doing and cheering you all on. We can do this!!! Hope you all have a great week and stay safe!
