my journey
hi all, i’ve posted on here before but just wanted to post an update. i’ve unfortunately continued to gain weight over the past few months, but i’ve managed to stop the gain for now. i’ve been a steady 138 pounds at 5’2 for 3 months now.
i strength train at the gym 4-5 times a week and try to get 10,000 steps a day, even on my rest days. i have definitely noticed some changes in my body, even if the weight isn’t really budging.
my calorie goal is 1600 a day, with how heavily i exercise i burn about 2000 a day. sometimes i will 100% go over 1600. im always hungry unfortunately and i love to eat!! it hasnt been easy gaining all this weight. i used to eat whatever i wanted and be 95 pounds.
just posting on here to see my progress as i continue my fitness journey and keep myself accountable. i previously lost 20 pounds, but i just did this by eating 1200 calories a day and never exercising! i’m trying to follow a better journey now.
the first 2 pictures are me in february, before i started strength training seriously. the last 2 pics of me as of yesterday! i love the progress i’ve made in the gym, watching myself be able to do double and triple the amount of weight i used to do is amazing. and for the first time in my life, i actually FEEL my bicep muscles!
