Two years ago I realised I needed to lose weight for my health and it’s the first time I got serious about it. I started by doing the couch to 5k, I would do each week twice but I finished it! And so I would run (jog) for half an hour a few times a week. Then I got into the gym and got a PT and my fitness was hugely improved, the only time I really lost weight though was when I got on thyroid meds and 10kg just dropped off, but by that time I had been exercising and eating better for a few months so I don’t really know why I couldn’t lose any that way. I also around that time stopped running as I would replace that with the gym as I was paying for the gym and the park was free, was my logic.
Anyway, a year and a bit ago I met my now boyfriend, he’s very tall and broad and has a sweet tooth, as do I, but he can eat whatever and be fine. Not me! But instead of being smart and making good choices I just joined him and got dessert when he did, would eat half of the cake we bought for fun etc. At the beginning we did that a lot, but I was still gymming so was fine, then we moved in together and I had to go to a new gym, and I started going less, and then a few months after that I really hurt my ankle, so I couldn’t do what I used to and I wasn’t eating great and started to put weight back on.
I decided I needed to get back into running, I didn’t lose any weight but I enjoyed it and made me feel fitter.
That leads to today. I’m still a little lighter than when I started 2 years ago, and I thought a little fitter, no. I just did the first run of week one and I’m dead. I thought this time I would only do the week once over, not twice like last time, but damn I think I need to. It sucks knowing i’m right back to where I started. Even though I do look different that’s basically the thyroid meds working, not me.
I just wanted to vent, I’ve done it before so I can do it again, I just hate how you have to keep up the effort for life.
