I lost over 30 lbs last year (consistency is key) and slowly gained back 15 of those pounds while allowing myself to slip into my previous bad habits after a breakup that left me in shambles. It wasn't until last month, when one of my favorite shirts didn't fit me, that I realized I needed to get back into a healthy lifestyle or everything I worked so hard for would fall apart.
I've been getting myself to consistently go walking/jogging daily. I've even gotten myself a standing desk to help promote a healthier lifestyle. Today, I finally got myself to press play on a home workout video I used to consistently use and it kicked my butt once again. There were at least 3 times I wanted to just stop because I felt tired and I even thought to myself "You can do more next time, you've already done enough", but I pushed through and had the courage to say "No" to my inner depressed couch potato. I felt like such a wuss during the workout, like it was day one all over again, but afterwards... I now remember what it feels like to be on this endorphin high and I've really missed it. Right before my workout, I was craving sweets badly and that went away right after. I literally have 3 deliciously picturesque donuts in front of me right now and I don't care for them at all. I hope I remember this feeling every time I don't feel like working out in the future so it'll give me that extra push I need. For now, I'll chalk this up as a big win for me. Just thought I'd share my happiness with you all. Remember, you'll get there if you take that first step and just keep believing in yourself!
