I'm getting going with Pahla B.
I need a better internet connection, but it's good enough for now. No major plans, just hoping to get moving again after having felt like a slug for two months. Oh, and in terms of all-round health and well-being, I've got some strategies to continue nutritionally, and some more to continue managing my good mental health.

I really like Pahla B! I followed three parts of her 5-0 plan lately: calorie deficit, keep workouts light, and water.
I tried her workouts but (1) I need more weight work/heavier weight work and (2) music. So once my knee healed enough, I finally found a low enough calorie deficit that I could consistently manage, and I did 3 weight workouts a week (Cathe Live instead), with the rest just either stretching (CS/Ess) or just nothing (walking aggravates my knee). The two things that I found were keeping my weight from shifting: cardio (which just made me hungry) and not being in a real calorie deficit for long enough time. I kid you not -- I lost 11 pounds in a little over 3 months! For realsies! I even dropped a full pant size. And bear in mind that I've gained 35 lbs in 3 years since starting perimenopause and numerous injuries and a surgery. And I *NEVER* thought losing weight for me was even possible. With the holidays I haven't been able to keep within the calories (sorry, Pahla) but I know now that I actually can and look forward to getting back to my routine next week. So my plan for 2022 is pretty simple: stay in a consistent calorie deficit but meet my macros with nutrient-rich foods, do weights a few times a week when I can, and keep NOT doing cardio! (and keep up with water!) (Pahla also has sleep as one of her 5-0 parts, but that's really really really hit or miss for me since peri. So not much I can do about that...) |
