wonderful feeling...newbie advice (my 2 cents)
I used to run 5ks about 8 years ago and before packing on a ton of weight (I've been every size under the sun). Now that I am healthy, I started running again. Wow! I have forgotten how wonderful it feels to run. I feel like a well oiled machine after wards. I leave the gym....feeling like I can do anything!
My 2 cents- I'm a "recovering weight obsessed" person. Having a different goal to reach has been so healthy for me. If I could give any advice, I would say...turn your focus to healthy goals other than weight or clothing size goals. Don't beat yourself up trying to reach a number or a date on the calender. Keep a lifetime of healthy habits as your goal and focus. It has truly been the key to my recovery and of course...I'm still a work in progress. Best wishes to everyone!
