Thank you to everyone for responding! @SkyGirl That confidence made such a huge impact in my life when I had it! I moved out of my family home, found a new job, life was good. Can't wait to get back there again. As an update, maybe I should do a new thread instead? I've just been doing the NF Beginner workout that starts off with just the warm up, push-ups, and squats, every other day. But I have made it a point to walk at least 10 minutes every day and I've been doing it a couple weeks I think- and just the fact that I've committed to something makes me feel good. Like I can actually do this and not be lazy and disappointed. Also, I like running. But I get super sweaty after just 2 minutes omg.

Hahaha, It's funny I'm almost always the shortest one, even in a group of short girls. I just want to be able to do something consistently.

Hi, guys! I wasn't sure if I should post or not, I tend to talk too much on things like this. But I feel like the more engaged on here I become the more I likely I am to stick to making good habits. I say making habits because I do work out occasionally, and very briefly. But Steve's email for building habits by walking 10 minutes every day is really helping me build consistency. And I want to do that before I tire myself out with workouts. Especially since my muscles are tight and my diet is eh, under progress. So I recently went through some hard stuff. And it made me realize that I had gotten heavy. I used to work in grocery, which meant a LOT of cardio and heavy lifting. 8 hours. 5 days a week. Plus I was eating very little, and extremely stressed. I don't want to work out for 8 hours a day every day, nor do I want to cut too much of my food supply. But I really want to get back to the 115 lb that I was then. Even still at 4'11, 115 made me feel a biiit flabby. But I got a taste of finally being comfortable in my own skin, and I need to get back there! Slow and steady. I had been working there a year and a half by the time I'd noticed those results, so I'm not expecting to get fit in the next 30 days. So, my plan is walking just to get me started. I really want to become the type of person who goes on walks and runs, and does yoga in the mornings. But I will definitely be looking into weight lifting soon! Having muscle is so nice. I was so proud of my strength. Tl;dr Building habits! Walking! Yoga and strength! Can't wait.
