How Have You Stayed In Shape During COVID? (1 Viewer)

So for me, I was getting a lot of work in at my job and I was also running before work too.
I reinjured my ankle though and while I was recovering I was doing dance and yoga instead and physical therapy too.
Then when I got better I was doing my physical therapy stretches, Yoga, My own workouts, and going to the gym with my friend
when she invited me.

But I'm not where I want to be yet but I'm hoping to get there eventually.

What about you guys?​

The hardest part for me is getting focused on what I'm putting in my body. My diet is so bad but I'm fairly decent at being active.

we should teach each other our ways

We should-but to be honest I just do a thing I like and when I finish it or hit a milestone I do a workout. So I can associate it with something positive.

that sounds like a good idea
i don't even dislike working out bc I always feel refreshed after it
For my food, I just got an air fryer and so I focus on reducing the amount of carbs that I intake, something you already probably don't have a huge problem with at least with wheat. And if they are carbs then I just go for unrefined carbs like brown rice or veggies. Don't eat a lot of potatoes but I wish I could LOL. I also do a good amount of meal prep if I have time bc that prevents me from going out all the time or just impulse buying a lunch

I need to do that, my issue is with coffee places. I can't resist them and they put an UNGODLY amount of sugar into everything and carbs too.

i get that, fortunately i better nowadays at resisting carbs but maybe the solution is just to have a cheat day and focus really hard on whole foods for the rest of the week. then you can have that day of a pastry and some coffee along with some other carby stuff

True true. I just need help with my self-control. I've gotten into intermittent fasting which I'm able to maintain pretty well but I've been trying to also mindful eat with it which helps but sometimes my brain is like....I don't care if you're full the food is good.

yeah sometimes even if the food is healthy sometimes it's so good i eat more than one serving and thus it negates anything bc i have no portion control

Yeah I am pretty good about avoiding sweets unless I've tasted at least one and then they are in close proximity because then I can't resist them even if I don't want them.

Also my portion control is SHIT!

portion conttrol is hard, also i eat really fast so that doesn't help at all LOL

I'm the same way though but mindful eating is supposed to help with that-you're supposed to eat with no distractions, close your eyes basically and savor every bite instead of rushing through it. And it gives your body time to process whether you're hungry or not.

Working out -- walking, standing abs. I just picked up yoga last week because work was pissing me off and I figured I needed something calmer on that particular day.

The way work is going today, I may do yoga again.
