I actually look forward to my runs and enjoy them. I’ve never been a runner, so it’s a really nice change.

And lost a nice 5 lb (which is substantial given I’m 5 ft tall)

I can relate to this, Im the same way. Seems like we put on weight so easily and it’s so hard to get it off. Any win is a good win :)

Ups and downs, but I’m focusing on keeping myself as healthy as possible through fitness, nutrition, mental and creative activities, etc. That’s helped motivate me to keep going with habit building.

Feeling great!! Been eating healthier and working out 60 min a day with the peloton app. Lost 8 pounds

Feeling better, gained some muscle, more energy, look forward to running, push up techniques are improving. Overall pretty good.

Working out a lot now and eat pretty healthy. Drink far too much wine but will start to cut back on that.

Despite working out more on average per week than I did on the road, and feeling very strong and fit physically, my mental health is sh*t

Haven’t lost as many lbs as I would like yet, but running more than I ever have in my life and feel great doing it. Made it past my PR of 8 miles last week! Cooking and eating lots of vegetables and healthy foods also.

Sleep schedule is completely wrecked, but I’ll take wins where I can get them.

Great. No office snack machine. No leftover catering from client meetings. No donut Fridays.

Routine - without this, everything collapses. I start my morning everyday with breath work, then meditation, and finally a workout. I miss some days when I don’t get this right in the morning

Definitely gained some tiny guns in my arms when I flex. Don’t think the scale has changed though. :/

Lost 13 lbs so far. No exercising unfortunately so probably lost some muscle along with fat.

Any tips on how to get re-engaged, since the overwhelming feeling will come back?
