I'm still fat, but self-isolating is helping
If you have been following me before the creation of #hive, you know that I started two initatives in Dec 2019. One was #noloafingmoney and the other was #noloafingloseit.
I had a plan
On Dec 4 I published the plan and followed that the next week with the detailed plan
By the time the new year rolled around, life, steem and everything started to go to shit. I kept working at it, but I didn't have the time or energy to continue with weekly updates.

There is no normal
Today I realized that normal is not returning, and I'm still fat.
I got on the scale and weighed in at 128.5kg at 38.3%bf. I wear it "well", but I'm still too big to be healthy.
There is a lot of evidence that being overweight increases the risk of hospitalization if I come into contact with #SARS-COV-2 and contract #COVID-19. I don't want to be an added burden on the healthcare system if I don't have to. This just adds to the need to get fit again.
The new plan
My plan this time around is very close to the detailed plan linked above:
- Eat less. I'm focusing on sugar here. The only sugar I plan to eat is what is the honey in my homemade bread.
- Move more. Staying at home makes this hard. I don't have a large property or house, but I am starting to add little things throughout the day. My goal is to reach the activity goal on my oura ring.
- Supplementation. For this I'm focusing on getting all the necessary nutrients and Omega3.
- Creating habits. This is around moving more mostly.
- The inner work. This is the biggest one still. I got a long way by the time January came around, but with the stress of the world on my shoulders I've slipped some. By re-focusing I hope to forgive myself more and remove the identity of being a fat kid.
That's it
That's the plan. I don't know what my end goal is, or the timeline, that will come.
I'm hoping to post more about my goal and progress here. I need an accountability circle.
If you are reading this please comment below. If you don't see anything from me in a while, call me out by mentioning me in a comment or post. If there is a goal that you need an accountability partner for, let me know in the comments and I will do the same for you.
