I can't even leave my apt to go get a new journal, cause I'm waiting for the delivery man, so I'm just gonna rant on here.
If you're new here, I'm Radical, 25yo ednos (aka anything that works to get the weight off), pro. My hw was 226lbs (103kg) and my cw is 168lbs (78kg). I went from 150 > 226> 160 all in 2 years, and now I'm losing my mind to get back on track after such a huge derailing. I combine healthy and unhealthy tactics bc I know what works. I've worked in gyms and studied kinesiology in college. Join me while I battle my genetics, cravings, and self-control to get the body I want.
Idek why I said yes, but I'm gonna be running a 10k marathon in 2 months with some colleagues and I'm widely underprepared. I'm a gym rat, albeit a fat rat, but I'm bulked af, and I'm not a treadmill bunny like these other cats in the office.
I'm always exercising in the gym, at home, or taking the steps all the time at work. I walk to work and back home, and even when I binge I match the protein, so a 2000kcal+ binge means I ate over 200g of protein. Every time I get close to a lw, like 159, I spiral and end up gaining like 10lbs and have to lose it all over again, and it's like my body refuses to go lower. I've spent the last 2-4 months fighting in the 160s, and it's driving me crazy.
Anyway, recently I've been cardio training with a jump rope and doing circuit training inside or outside bc I moved and can't register for the gym here just yet. I have the discipline to exercise for hours, and even late into the night, but I can't control this fricken mouth of mine.
At this stage of my weightloss, I need to strictly balance weightlifting and cardio if I don't want loose skin or an even bulkier body. I know that if I lost the muscle I'd be way less on the scale, but my next biggest fear after loose skin is being skinny fat, so the only correct path for me rn is to eat less and keep up the same or more exercise, but that is so difficult bc if the hunger.
Also I have a specific colleague who also joined the marathon that I refuse to let outdo me, and she's a treadmill bunny, so I need to lock tf in.
