Why I didn't work out at all

Posted on February 16, 2015

Ok, Round 1 is done. And I won, yay!!! I lost my kilos without any additional exercise. I didn't work out at all. That's why:

I know myself. I know my big resolutions. I know my bad habbits. I know my weaknesses.

When I stopped eating chocolate and sweets on Jan 10th, that wasn't the first time I did that. A couple of times I tried losing weight by cutting out sweets and exercising every day. And every time I failed miserably, every single time. After 2 weeks all the big resolutions went out the window and I sat on the sofa again with my chocolate bar.

It simply was too much change. I couldn't keep up with my huge resolutions. I was craving the sugar AND excausted from working out. I couldn't manage. So I gave up.

This time should be different. This time IS different.

I'm still not eating chocolate and sweets. And when I joined the DietBet I changed the rest of my eating habbits as well. I did really well on my eating in Round 1. I only had 2 or 3 unhealthy cheat meals. And the weight dropped. I made my goal for Round 1 and already about 70% to Round 2 goal. I enjoy eating. I'm not starving and I don't crave the sweets anymore. I did this step.

Now that I feel comfortable with my eating and I have that under control, now it's time for the next step: adding exercise. I'm going to do that in little steps as well. Maybe 2-3 times a week for Round 2. And if I can keep that up then I can add more.

I'm sick of failing. I want to change and I want to get healthy. So this time the changes are not overwhelming because of the huge resolutions. This time I'm going to change step by step but in the end they will be for good :)

awesome! i tried doing this as well, cause big ideas always lead me to big fails... the last transformer i joined july 2014 i failed miserably cause i did the max i could in july working out 4-5/week, eatingperfect and then nothing for the rest of the time =(i was gonna say "haven't had a chance to" but that's a lie, the truth would be "i missed a couple of chances" to really start working on healthy eating this round, and making a habit out of it... but this is pushing me to do the best with the baby steps i decide to take this round ! WD on making your goal! i missed it by 0.3kg GGRRRRR #thisismyyear!

Great job. Eating is the easiest part for me as well. I really don't like to exercise, but I know I need to start. I'm going to slowly start adding it in during this round as well, so looks like we're in the same boat!

I worked out only a little. Here and there also had chocolate here and there and cake for daughter's birthday. I feel like I could eat this way and exercizing at this pace all my life . You are right to not go into extremes ai have also tried that and it was in the end not sustainable!
