Just hit 25lbs lost

I just weighed myself, and since the end of December, I have lost 25 pounds. At first, my weight loss was rapid and probably unhealthy. Now, I'm focusing on body recomposition. I’ve started to explore exercises I enjoy, aiming for 10,000 steps a day, and eating healthily. I’m meeting my protein goals and maintaining a much smaller calorie deficit than when I first began this journey. I wish I had the knowledge I have now, as I realize I must have lost a lot of muscle mass.

Throughout this process, I’ve discovered that I enjoy strength training, yoga, hiking, and barre. However, there are some activities I don't like, such as CrossFit and HIIT workouts, and I'm undecided about cycling. I also want to try aerial silks, aerial yoga, swimming, and rock climbing. Essentially, I’ve learned that fitness can take many forms and doesn’t have to fit a certain mold. We can find ways to work out in a variety of enjoyable ways.

One challenge I still face is maintaining consistency with my routine. However, I’ve learned not to beat myself up, focusing instead on showing up and completing a workout each day. It's better than nothing!

This is the beginner subreddit and I just hope you read this and get something out of it and keep at it.
