I did a jam packed 45 minute workout focused on back and triceps. My chin ups are really coming along and my triceps felt swole afterwards. I was the only one in the gym and it felt great.
Itās helping to keep my focus and get some of my agression out. I also took the dog for a walk at lunch and another in the evening. Got 14k steps in.
Iāve shaved off another couple of pounds too and have manged to keep it off even on the days when Iām not tracking my food intake. Iām down 12 lbs and I really want to see how lean I can get.

I have to re-calculate and start tracking my macros again if I want my little six pack Iāve been trying for for the past two years. I donāt like all the work that comes into it but I have to. My nutritionist calculated all that for me but again that was two years ago. Itās more likely outdated since I hit the gym more and have been doing an insane amount of competitions.

Iāve not done macros before. Mostly because food prep always seems like a hassle and I despise eating the same thing for every meal. However, if I want the results I gotta put in the work. Currently I just use Noom to track what I take in. Donāt really restrict myself from anything and often have cheat days. Itās slow progress but the daily weigh ins are still moving in the right direction. Mostly.

The hassle and planning is what gets to me, too. 
And when I was weighing all the proteinā¦ it was A LOT of chicken. Made me constipated just looking at it. 
And the monotony of it all makes me reach for the doughnuts. 
Iām going to check out Noom though! I canāt remember the app I was using previously. I took it off my phone because I was just sick of it.

So not getting any work outs in, trying to figure out what i can actually do with some of my physical issues. I have been trying to meet my step goals, and increase my heart points. Actually went swimming on Tuesday. Maintaining my weight under 200lbs, just havenāt dropped lower than 197. At least Iām not at a steady 205 anymore! I also have absolutely no urge to be skinny, if Iām being honest. Just want to lessen the thigh rub a little, a semi flat stomach, and curb the back fat which really all isnt that terrible. 180-170 is my goal, which i think is attainable. Iām open to any suggestions.

Have you worked with a nutrition coach? Thatās whay helped me slim down. I had no idea how much fat intake I was getting in until a nutritionist pointed that out to me. 
What you eat is the most important. I still have my sweets every now and then. Itās about balance.

I have not, though honestly money being tight, Iād probably have to go with a nutritionist recommended by my doctor.

Yes! Check with your insurance, too! If your doctor sees it as a medical need, your insurance may cover it.

One gym session a day keeps drug addiction away 
Just did an arm day, then tomorrow chest/back, then legs and abs again 
I had a bit of difficulty feeling motivated for gym today since I unfortunately missed gym yesterday, but I reminded myself that once Iām there and partway into my sets I tend to be more motivated which is helping me stay consistent each day
Currently at 184lbs, starting weight was 191lbs. Weight loss seems to be on track, starting to see veins that I usually donāt see because of my body fat.
I need to start making my weight_change Excel graphs, calculate the line of best fit to see the average weight loss per week. I stopped doing that while I was snorting my life away on my drug of choice back then in active addiction, but I think I should start doing that again soon as I donāt wanna lose weight faster than 1lb per week as thatās when you start to lose a lot of muscle and go into starvation mode (although this is highly dependent on your body fat from my understanding. Starvation mode doesnāt really happen unless your calories are below your resting metabolic rate I was once told)
