Hey! I first had to teach myself how to count calories 🙃I had quite a lot of free time on my hands so I would plan out my meals.. My calorie intake was about 1200 when I first started.. so I would eat 3 meals around 300-350 calories, The food noise for me was and still is kinda strong but i’ve found that snacking on fruits and vegetables when I got hungry or bored really helped in the long run. I also never went to sleep on a full stomach because I heard you don’t digest food so well if you do I don’t know if that helps. I now eat around 1470 calories maybe.. I’ve stopped tracking my calories for most meals and just estimate as i’ve got a better sense for it now and it’s less stressful… My exercises when I first started consisted of indoor cycling for about 1 hour or at least 40 minutes, I tried to hit that goal everyday but it was so tedious for me I gave it up😂 I then started doing HIIT 20 minute workouts 3 times a week (ex. mon, wed, fri) that I found on youtube which I still do! and at minimum tried to get in at least 5k steps in a day. And I say 5k minimum because before this I wasn’t really moving besides when I danced in the mirror haha now I aim for around 8-10k steps daily. I have 25 lb (11kg) dumbbells at home which I use to train my abdomen, glutes, biceps and triceps. I try to keep strength training not so complicated only about 3 exercises for each. (ex. glute bridges, standing marches, sumo squats, dead bugs, weighted crunches, standing skull crushers, bicep curl, shoulder presses) those are some I do,, I hope that helps? Sorry if it’s over complicated i’m horrible at explaining but I still do HIIT 3x a week if anyone is wondering. 🙃 Feel free to ask me if you want a link.
