I think I mentioned this in the 2019 thread but anyway I’m a big believer in Orangetheory Fitness. Not the least expensive option out there but it’s a great workout, something different everyday, someone tells you what to do, and there are studios all over. If you travel for work like I do you can go to any studio with the top level membership, so I’m able to stay at it on the road. I’ve run several half marathons and just got burned out on distance running, OTF is high intensity interval but I still get in 3 miles regularly and can run a 10k no problem even though I never run that distance.
I’m also a big fan of a “Paleo” type diet, primarily focusing on lean protein (fish, poultry, pork, eggs with occasional red meat) and lots of veggies and some fruits. No carbs or added sugar. Stay on the perimeter of the grocery store and eat whole foods, nothing processed. Fruit, nuts, lara bars for snacks. It can be tough especially with sugar being in everything we eat and carbs so prevalent. I have the hardest time with lunch. I can eat eggs, bacon, and fruit for breakfast, meat and veggies for dinner, but finding something easy that fits for lunch can be a challenge. I’ve found some ways to do it though and sometimes I just have to man up and cook chicken and broccoli for lunch on the weekends. I usually give myself one cheat day a week too. And beer...my biggest issue with the low carbs since I love IPAs.
I’ve been slacking a bit on both these things but getting back on track currently. For about three months in 2019 when I started the paleo thing and was working out 4x a week I felt amazing. Slimmed down quick too.
