I have been struggling with my weight for years now and since I got a personal trainer I got roughly 36 pounds off. It was slow progress with a few fallbacks due to surgery and sickness, but getting there. I hope to lose at least another 20 pounds. I work out with my trainer twice a week in a strength program and mainly focused on progressive overload. Since he'll be quitting to go back to university, I will be without my 'buddy' after quite a while. I remembered Darebee from way way in the past (I believe it had a different name back then) and thought to look it up to see if it can in a way help me.
My plan is to keep going to the gym and doing some tried and trusty workouts that helped me reach where I am now and keep going on the progressive overload. In addition I want to develop a habit of moving/working out every day and possibly developing (daily) habits at the same time, one step at a time.
What does this mean for now? First steps: Start with a light Darebee program just to get into the habit. For this I will be going with Square One. Since I have been working out for a while already, I have decided to do it on level III since it is considered a light program. I will post an update at the end of the day for day 1.
Personal challenges doing this? I have always had an issue getting to a daily habit of working out/moving. I hope this time I can turn it around (and please hold me accountable if I don't) by keeping a journal here, showing my progress. Both having lost weight already and the discipline I have in working out with my PT twice a week may help me in holding the discipline to do a light exercise daily.
