Wow. I lost 17lbs in less than a month!

I bombed my first national guard pt test mainly because the run. I didn't find out my first drill was going to be a pt test until a week prior, and it was my first APFT in 6 years so.. I still have a lot of work to do regardless. I wasn't expecting the morning humidity to be so strong the next city over and that shit had me choked up half way through. It was almost as bad as GA, and this is Tx...WTF. I still have weight to loose as well. It's been hard for me to focus on an exercise program when I'm still looking for a main job outside the guard..

The struggle is real right now.. Well at least in my head. Should I be running or filling out more applications or what?? The national guard isn't strict on pt anyway, but I need to pass the test if I want to promote to sergeant. My team leader already offered to train me up for an E-5 commo slot they know is opening up in a few years and taking a slot like that is the best way to get promoted. I got way too much to think about for that being my first drill..

Thats awesome

Thank you. Im prediabetic now so I really need to keep it up. My doctor says i have to hit the gym to avoid a bunch of sagging skin. I told him i did it with no exercise and he seemed surprised. I didnt tell him i was intermittent fasting cuz i didnt want to hear his mouth lol

Oh and my thyroid is irregular or whatever. I have to go back for an ultrasound. Hopefully its no big deal and he can just give me a pill that will make me lose weight EVEN FASTER!!

Don't be discouraged if you can't maintain that rate of loss. Just keep on working at it.

And congrats!

My scale broke and i decided not to buy another one. Just going to rely on the doctor to keep track. That always gets me..weighing myself too much.

I don't have a scale either and I feel like I need one right now.. I might not be over weight, but I need to get my height right for myslef to know.. I think they've been fucking that up for a while because they have to convert it to cm for the Army statistics and a lot of people just wing that... 

Just think BMIand try to make those universal stats even more stupid and that's how the military does it. It's an easy fix though I just have some financial shit I'm trying to get straight before I end up broke or in debt. My point.. That should've been a diagnostic pt test anyway for me, but it wasn't it was a unit wide record that made me look bad. I'll fix it though. This is not the first time I've seen this shit go down. They don't kick people out for failing in the national guard anyway, but now I'm kinna pissed.

Wherrreeee isss pooooooffff

I was in the tub !

Very nice! Make sure to stay hydrated and eat if you feel too weak.

And the doctor is right you should exercise. Don't overdo it, but the more you exercise the more you get to eat while still losing weight. It's a very good motivator to get moving.
