ABC easy as 3KG

I did it! I lost weight for the first time since summer. That’s around half a stone. I’m really quite pleased with myself. 

I’ve done it by cranking everything up a notch. I’ve been calorie/macro counting with MyFitnessPal, Step/HR counting with the Fitbit, and tracking my progress with weights using an app called RepCount. I’ve never really counted my reps or my weights other than for the ‘big three’ (chest press, squats and deadlifts) and it has proved really motivating. I’ve also gotten into a real routine, waking at 6am to go to the gym in the week and once at weekend. I’ve also stepped up the cardio loads. Anyway I hope that these trends will continue if I do! 

🧳 UNPACKED

The Win: Half a stone lost – first weight loss since summer.

The System: Cranked everything up. Calorie/macro counting (MyFitnessPal), steps/HR tracking (Fitbit), weight tracking (RepCount app). Never tracked reps/weights before except the big three – proved motivating. 6am gym weekdays plus once at weekend. Stepped up cardio loads.

Worth Knowing: Tracking everything creates accountability. The data doesn’t lie.
