Fitness Whole Pizza In My Mouth

[Steve85]

I guess it's worth chiming in now that I'm outgrowing pants and dress shirts.

core stuff is super important and gets overlooked a lot so good on you for attacking that.

any changes in diet that might have also put on a few pounds?  for me i notice immediately if i start eating garbage i get a gut practically overnight.

Got off the good eating train about a year ago, and man.....I can tell a real difference in how I feel beyond how I look.  Being a girl doesn't help the situation either.  But I've been trying to take a much harder look at what I'm consuming and that is starting to help. I also decided to add running back into my routine consistently.  Yesterday was the first day I had run 3 miles in at least 6 months.  Woke up this morning ready to hit the gym (with more running programmed ). But definitely over all motivated to get my head out of my ass and start making the changes I need to, in order to attain my goals.  I'm glad this thread popped back up cause I needed the boost!

I'm with you girl! . Had a good summer, lost about 20 from Easter to mid September or so but have slowly but surely allowed about 8 to creep back. The worst part is that over that time I could have lost another 20 instead but excuses. 

I recently got my workout space back now that the daughter and grandson moved out and have started back with some lifting and running. I'm hesitant to squat for now though, I strained my back skiing, or really trying to over stretch after the first day out, and it just feels...different. In my head that means fragile and I don't have the training or flexibility to have good form. Also doing a better job of tracking and weighing food, since I start to get a bit heavy handed eyeballing things after a while.

I think I've lost about 1000 pounds in my lifetime, it's just been the same damn 20 pounds about 50 times. 

Also, well done Rex - I think I'd be afraid 500# would just crush me let alone being able to push it back up...
