[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've put on like 10 pounds this winter, and still going up.  I have no desire to do an extreme diet and somehow the idea of going to the gym is just torture to me (I usually love lifting weights, meal prepping, tracking, etc.)

I'm thinking I'll go out and do a slow run/walk for 90 minutes every day to jump start the weight loss.  I plan to eat healthy, and in moderation without the meticulous tracking I normally do when I "diet."  I know doing cardio is not sustainable unless I keep doing it - I'm thinking once the weight is off, perhaps I'll be in a better mindset to get back in the gym and wear my cute workout clothes that don't even fit me right now.

Just looking for some motivation and commiseration. Sigh.    [/quote]

Yes, step up your steps or your pace. Look for some podcasts with power walks and the like so you can increase your heart rate. Buy some weights for home and look at some videos with 10-20 minutes of strength training.

I would suggest tracking your food and eating a bit of a deficit. I set my tracker to a half pound a week loss because cutting out 250 calories a day seems less onerous.

But I would be more focused on my health then wearing cute work out clothes. [/quote]
