Wedding Weight Loss Plans Become Covid-19 Goals

Hello vast empty internet,

I thought I was going to ramble about how I wanted to lose weight for a wedding that my wife was going to be in at the end of May 2020.  Well...things have changed!  The world is now shut down due to coronavirus.  I do not anticipate going to the wedding in May, even though we are two months out.

Now my weight loss is about burning off nervous energy during these days of limited movement.

Going for walks and doing some body weight workouts has already yielded results.  It's also helpful working at home where we don't have sugary treats sitting about like I do at work.

For a long time stuck at 280, but recently I've dropped to 274.5 with the recent changes forced by coronavirus.

My Routine


  • Walking - the beauty of walking is that it can be done daily because it's not too strenuous.  What I like to do is go for walks especially after a body weight workout to break up soreness.
  • Body Weight Workout - it's simply movements with only your body weight.  There are a variety of movements that you can do without any weights!  Yay!

Squats


Push Ups



Sit Ups

Lunges


I just burn out on each one, then move to the next.  I'll do three or four cycles and then tap out.  I do this every other day or so.

Go get it... while staying safe at your homestead.
