2022 Lifestyle Change and Calorie Counting Plan Week 12 Check-in

12 weeks (85 days) on track with my calorie counting and lifestyle change plan and I’ve officially earned my 3rd tank top (that I’m wearing) of the year.

I’ve now been on plan for 12 weeks now and these past 4 weeks have definitely been my worst so far in terms of weight and inches lost. I know this means that I’m taking in too many calories on my relaxed Saturdays so I’m going to keep reigning those in and keeping a better eye on my intake until I’m losing decent amounts again.

So in the last 4 weeks I lost 2.8 lbs and 0.75 inches across my body. This puts me at a loss of 15.7 lbs in twelve weeks and a total loss of 60.2 lbs since 2015. I’m now 12.2 lbs away from my lowest weight of 157.6 lbs in May of 2018 and my current short-term goal is 165 lbs (short-term goals are in 5 lb increments).

I’m still keeping up with my New Year resolutions of sticking with my weight-loss plan, hitting a minimum of 5,000 steps every day and meditating for 10 minutes a day except for the one day I missed on Tuesday because I forgot about it.

I had to stop PT in March due to lack on progress but will be starting an at-home PT plan as well as the recumbent bike tomorrow as my back allows.

My 2022 Lifestyle Change and Calorie Counting Plan focuses on 1200-1225 calories a day with 2-3 meals, no snacks, keeping an eye on macros and at least 5,000 steps a day except on Saturdays which are my more relaxed food days with a higher calorie range with the rest of the week being more strict. No foods are considered “bad” and everything is an option in moderation.

I’ll be weighing in weekly and taking progress photos and measurements every 30 days with a new tank top.
