Okay went to bed earlyish and got up early! I need to do D2W1! Doing it now! Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

I'm using it as since I'm trying to get back into a habit, it personally works for me to have my phone just tell me what to do. Hopefully when i get back near my old ways and energy levels I'll branch out a bit more. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

This morning I got up and redid D1W1 of the You Are Your Own Gym app. I'm now walking home and instead of a bag of malteasers i got some peanuts from the corner store. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Last Friday I restarted the You Are Your Own Gym beginners program. Saturday I did day two. Took a break today as I have those DOMS again. Tomorrow my goal is to wake up early enough to do day 1 again and to not eat any sweets. I'll update and flesh this out more later. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

I entirely empathise and hear you! For myself I am just focussing on one small habit at a time. I am an emotional eater too and can crave sweets so badly. I've been in place where I've kicked the cravings and I need to get there again. Instead of saying no sweets ever again my goal is just no sweets for today! Overwhelming to think about the whole long term goal. Sending good thoughts your way! Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Happy to find this place! I've had a good health & fitness run for the past 5 years but have come to the realisation I've fallen off the wagon completely for the past 6-7 months. It's hard to believe that I used to look forward to working out and salad was delicious! Now working out seems like a total drag again, I don't eat as many veggies and honestly am binge on sweets to varying degrees every day. I was never super strong, fast or flexible but I do realise I am probably not going to get back to where I was. Or at least any time soon. When I was really on top of all this fitness stuff, I was at a point in my life where I did not have much else going on. I easily had the time to batch cook meals and work out. Now that I have some projects I am very excited about kicking off, my time is taken up a bit more and I find it much easier to get into old habits. This isn't to make excuses by any means! I am here because I want to get back onto some healthy habits. I feel happy and proud of other aspects of my life, but am also feeling more lethargic and depressed due to my unhealthy choices. We all know how good working out is for mental health. Anyways I just need to find a new balance as my schedule is not as open as it used to be. With the knowledge that new habits start slowly, my only goal for today is to not eat any sweets. I am not out to cut sweets from my life entirely, but I need to kick my cravings. I've done it in the past and I can do it again. I look forward to getting to know people here! Hooray for all of us!
