Crazy cat lady makes a comeback!

[lisawho]

Hey all! I've been on here before and tried a couple challenges, but never completed one successfully. My goal this time is to stick with whatever I decide to do!

I've been in pretty good shape before, and I really miss being active and feeling fit and strong. Every once in a while, I wish I was still in shape enough to go out for an easy 8 or 10 mile run, and then I just stay on the couch like an idiot instead of getting out for a short walk or run or something at all! For the last year or so, I've had basically zero motivation. The only consistent exercise I've done has been a barre class once a week(at my sister-in-law's studio where I help at the front desk). I've tried a couple times to start running again or stick to a simple routine of daily push-ups or something, but I've given up within a couple weeks every time. And it sucks. I don't know why I can't stick to anything - my motivation just disappears.

I need to work on my eating habits too. I constantly overeat junk food and pastries, even though I know how to eat well. I successfully completed a Whole30 back in March, and I felt so great, but as soon as it was done I went right back to eating crap.

This is a big season of change for me. I was recently laid off and am looking for a new job, and I'm moving in a few weeks. I'll be about a half hour closer to where most of my friends live, so hopefully that move will revitalize my social life too!

So to summarize: I want new eating and exercise habits to go along with a new job and new home! I just need the motivation and grit to not give up.

And yes, I have two cats, Persy and Charles. Sometimes I obsess over them, because cats are easier to interact with than people, and Persy is ridiculously fluffy. Also, ever since I realized they both have Weasley names, I have my next several pet names all figured out

Yep, you've just described my life. It sucks to be completely out of shape while you know you could've been so much better, but for some unspecific reason, you can't. I'll be following this topic to see what you will achieve. Keep us posted!
