Advice Needed! Starting Over Again !!!

In March 2024 I stopped working out around 3-15-24 for about 6 months. In October I was almost 170 lbs!

Since October I started working out again and now I’m back at 159 lbs. of course I think about if I would have stayed consistent I would have been at my goal weight by now. But one thing about starting over again is that now you have another opportunity to apply the lessons you’ve learned from your mistakes. Now I know that I cannot 🛑 and I need to be consistent and maintain discipline. Unconditional discipline!

I have to make lifestyle changes in order for me to really achieve the goals I want.

Sidebar: I have PCOS & I store a lot of belly fat so my goal is to try and get rid of that along with dieting, exercising and juicing 🙂

Any tips?

List below ⬇️

... Read moreStarting over can be both challenging and empowering. It provides an opportunity to reflect on previous experiences and apply lessons learned. For many, embracing unconditional discipline is key to success, especially when dealing with conditions like PCOS, which can affect weight management. Here are some effective strategies: 1. **Set Realistic Goals**: Begin with achievable milestones. Rather than focusing solely on weight, consider non-scale victories like improved mood or increased energy. 2. **Create a Routine**: Establishing a consistent workout schedule can build discipline. Incorporate activities you enjoy to make exercising feel less like a chore. 3. **Nutrition Matters**: Adopt a balanced diet tailored to your needs. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. For those with PCOS, low-carb diets or a focus on anti-inflammatory foods may benefit you. 4. **Stay Hydrated**: Adequate hydration supports overall health and can aid in weight loss. Consider drinking water before meals to help control hunger. 5. **Seek Support**: Engaging with friends, family, or online communities can provide motivation and accountability. Sharing experiences and tips can inspire others on similar journeys. 6. **Mindfulness and Stress Management**: Practice mindfulness techniques to manage emotional eating. Whether through meditation, yoga, or hobbies, finding stress relief can prevent setbacks. Recovery is a journey, not a sprint. Every small step counts toward a healthier you. Remember, the experiences you gain while starting over will empower your next phase of growth.
