Hi! I've been lurking for a long time but I've never posted anything! I started running again, which I haven't done since I've been in high-school. I used to play volleyball for quite a few years, and once I was about 16 I stopped for social reasons mostly. In doing so, I predictably gained a bit of weight, and I forgot how much I enjoyed running.
I usually walk about 9,000 steps on average (working on getting to 12,000 average but I can be lazy) and I've started running for about 20 minutes a day. I eat usually 1,500 calories on average, though some days it's lower but I'm working on recovering from an eating disorder so it makes it harder to eat properly some days. I always make sure to cross the 1,000 cal threshold though!
I was just wondering if anybody had any advice for a new runner, especially one who is scared of the gym and exercising in public. I've been doing all of my running at home, without any equipment. I just want to know of some peoples experiences losing a bit of weight via running, and how fast or slow did the process go for you? Anything that made it easier/kept you going?
Really I'm just happy to be active and healthy again and I would like to keep it up, so any advice is greatly appreciated!
