Roughly a year’s worth of progress: not a whole world’s difference, but I’ve come such a long way

@sickofallthelies Great job!!! You're very inspiring. Consistency is key (or so I've heard...I'm never consistent. lol). Keep up the good work!!

@sickofallthelies This is what a rear warrior woman should be like. Much love and respect!!!

 

[sickofallthelies]

@dawn16 Thank you!!!

 

[bhagofangels]

@sickofallthelies I think there’s a huge noticeable difference! Congrats!

 

[sickofallthelies]

@bhagofangels Thank you!!! Looking at my pictures today, i really do see it

@sickofallthelies Amazing and so inspiring!!

I just wanted to say, don’t disparage yourself for not squatting and “just walking.” I haven’t barbell squatted in over a year. You don’t have to unless you’re competing! I dumbbell squat, hack squat, split squat, you name it - but I don’t barbell squat because I honestly dread it and it takes the fun out of my leg day lol. And as for walking, it’s no joke!! I walk for an hour a day around 3mph on a medium incline just like you and I’m dripping and breathing heavy by the end. I get a great cardio workout in but I don’t feel like I’m dying after, you know? I’m never going to be a runner and I’ve accepted that. It’s all good! There are no mandatory forms of exercise.

Cheers again to your amazing progress

@cowwarrior Thank you so much! I really just don’t enjoy barbell squatting. It does NOT spark joy and i want to get rid of it i should try squatting with dumbbells, but the word squat just has me not wanting to do it

A good walk totally clears my head and my hips and knees don’t feel like they’re about to fall off after!!

@sickofallthelies There’s a huge difference!! This is not easy, well done

 

[sickofallthelies]

@cristyhdz Omg, i am so glad that there is a big difference. I can’t wait to make this same post next year with a (hopefully) dramatic before and after!

 

[cristyhdz]

@sickofallthelies I can’t wait to see your progress, you got this!!

 

[kevonb129]

@sickofallthelies Well done!! Great progress lady!

 

[sickofallthelies]

@kevonb129 Thank you!!! So many tears have been shed but I’m so proud of myself.

@sickofallthelies Congratulations-You should be really proud of yourself! The mental hurdle of making exercise a part of your daily life and shifting it from a chore to self-care is huge. I think it’s the most challenging part of getting healthier. Good luck on the rest of your journey, you’re doing amazing!

@trongtin6869 I bet you totally have made progress! Have you taken measurements and progress photos? If you haven’t, do so ASAP!!! It really helps you see it

 

[trongtin6869]

@sickofallthelies I haven’t done measurements, but I will today. I have taken progress pictures and I see a little bit, but I feel like I’m having to really look for differences. But I do feel like my work scrubs are a little looser!! I haven’t seen any change on my scale, but I do a lot of weight lifting, so I’m assuming I’m gaining muscle as I lose fat.

 

[sickofallthelies]

@trongtin6869 Omg please do!!!! Seeing 2.5” lost in my waist with an actual number instead of a picture is the biggest confidence boost I’ve ever had haha!

Gaining muscle > losing weight in my book i guarantee that’s why the number hasn’t changed.

 

[blueray007]

@sickofallthelies I see a nega world difference! You look happier even from behind

Keep it up!

 

[sickofallthelies]

@blueray007 Omg really?! I am glad you see one! I definitely am way happier haha!

 

[dawn16]

@sickofallthelies Wow, your waist has really nipped in! Congrats on the great progress.
