Hi all,
I started going to the gym regularly in January this year. I have tried to go 3 times a week with my bf and we do bench press, chest press, squats and a bunch of machine exercises. I was really scared to start lifting weights because I thought I would build muscle under my fat and look "bigger," but I am already a lot smaller after 2~ months. I started at 123lbs (size 6-8) and now I'm 115 (size 6). I've also started counting my macros. I compare them with my bf for fun and it turns out he often cheats less than me lol! Macros was challenging because I only get 1400 cals (I'm 5'2") but I have made healthier choices and my meals are loaded with veggies so I'm eating a lot even though it's low calorie.
There was a couple weeks where I was too busy to go to the gym because of school, so I would do short 20-30 minute workouts on youtube at home when I had time. I definitely prefer doing a little cardio on the side.
My current goal is to continue doing 3 workouts with weights and 1-2 cardio workouts on the side per week. I want to keep leaning out. I still need to work on my diet. Currently drinking a 400 cal mocha hahah. Sorry I don't have pics, I'm hoping to post some when I lose more weight.
