In late 2023 I had a yearly physical with my doctor.
The results? Not good.
I knew I was steadily gaining weight during/after covid, thanks to a sedentary lifestyle and joining in whenever my kids had ice cream, but I still was surprised with the results of the visit.
I was the biggest I've been in my life, a whopping 266 pounds, and my bloodwork wasn't that good either. Prediabetic with high-cholesterol.
Something had to change.
In early 2024 I focused on eating less frequently and consuming less overall, and put a conscious effort to walk often.
It wasn't really enough, though.
So I began running, like I used to 10+ years ago.
Starting with a Couch-to-5k program and developing into a true love for running, I've lost over 65 pounds.
One afternoon, on my train ride home from work, I began making a small graph in pico-8.
This ended up being a great outlet and motivator, as every couple weeks I'd dump in recent weigh-ins and see the number keep going down.
I decided to upload this to Lexaloffle because:
- It was my last day at work and had this cart on my work laptop. Was easier to upload it here then to transfer via other mechanisms.
- Maybe in some strange way it would be a good push for other folks in similar positions.
So, here is my little weightloss tracker :)
