Interesting reading everyone's strategies.
@a&R maybe focusing on the inches would help you? Sometimes there are body changes that aren't represented on the scale.
I'm starting with exercise. I got really out of shape the last year or so.
Further to my hot yoga goal (3x per week), decided get back into running. At some point in my life, not recently, I was a runner who completed a marathon. Used to really love it.
So Saturday I took my first "run" (e.g. walking, some running) in about 3 years.
It....went. Not particularly well. I'm following the Couch to 5 K program, and I managed to complete all the 'running' intervals, although they were painfully slow.
Sunday I was SORE. But today feel OK, and am planning yoga again tonight.
Historically, I crave better food, and eat better in general when I am more active. So fingers crossed this helps with bad food cravings and helping me make choices that are better.
