I posted here sometime last year about my journey, which seemed to be mostly over. I had reached my lowest weight in years, and was feeling quite good about how I looked.
Here's the post, for reference.
The reality is that in the time leading up to that post, I was not getting enough vitamins and not even close to enough sleep. I didn't want to admit it, but I felt like shit - ESPECIALLY mentally. The money was nice, but I decided to quit the side gig that was taking over my life. I got myself on a vitamin regimen (which literally consists of a mere two pills a day😁). I cut my work hours to give myself ample time for eating, sleeping, and errands. I started investing time in my hobbies again.
I began my turnaround in January (with no relation to the new year), and here we are about three months later. I feel healthier. My mind has cleared up and I've returned to my energetic self. I gained 5kg along the way, and tbh I'm not super thrilled about that...But you know what? I wouldn't trade it for anything!
I joined a gym last week, and I've already had 3 kickass workouts. I broke a sweat for the first time in god-knows-how-long. I've started listening to the playlists that motivated me back in my first fitness journey. Each day, I feel like I'm getting closer to my old self... Or should I say, my REAL self.
I'm not weighing myself, and I'm not letting myself compare my body to anyone else's. I'm not setting a goal weight or pressuring myself to stay under a certain number of calories. This time around, I really want to focus on nutrition and health, quite simply.
I've accepted that any changes I see will not be dramatic. I'll likely gain muscle while losing fat, which means I may not need to do a dramatic wardrobe overhaul or get the chance to celebrate fitting into teeny-tiny shorts I've saved for "the day I'm finally thin".
But I'm ready to lose the negativity. The terrible eating habits. The stress. The reference to the future me. All of it. I'm on my way to losing it!
