My Fitness Journey: Part 6. Taking a break for my mental health
Hi guys! It’s September now, and time for another long awaited update on my fitness journey – but one with a twist! For months now I have been working really hard to try and get myself in better shape, fitness-wise. I’ve been trying to eat better, exercise more, and just make my body stronger and hopefully get a bit more energy. Well after a pretty hell-ish month, I’ve basically undone any good I had built up previously and ended up feeling worse than ever. I have been eating more than I should, mostly bad things, to the point where my body has been screaming for something healthy. And, not surprisingly,…

My Journey to Fitness: Part 5
My apologies for the delay in posting this, my fifth installment of the Journey to Fitness series. In all honesty, I’ve been putting this off because I’ve not had a great month. My mental health hasn’t been great, I’m completely exhausted, and I have been feeling extremely NOT positive about my body. This whole journey is not meant to be about getting thin and losing weight. It’s supposed to be about loving and appreciating my body no matter what it looks like, and encouraging others to feel the same way. But with the weather getting warmer, and being too tired to actually exercise, as well as feeling generally down, it’s…

My Journey to Fitness: Part 4
It’s been about a month since my last update to you, apologies for the delay. If you’ve not kept up with my fitness journey so far feel free to catch up here. After spending the first month or so writing bi-weekly health and fitness updates I kind of didn’t see the point in updating you so often, especially as nothing was changing. I really didn’t want you all to be reading the same post over an over again, that would just be insanely boring. In addition, I’ve also been feeling super low about my body because nothing has really changed. My weight keeps going up, and I am just so…

My fitness journey: Part Three
It’s time for the next instalment of my journey to fitness – part 3, 4 weeks in. If you haven’t already, feel free to go back and read part one and part two. I’ve been trying to be a healthier person for just about a month – trying to exercise more and eat better – in the hope of improving my fitness and keeping myself alive longer. It hasn’t really been my aim to lose weight or get smaller. While I am a big gal, my size isn’t the problem. I just feel so unhealthy. Things I’ve more recently noticed, on top of struggling to get up one flight of…

My Fitness Journey (Part One)
For those of you who don’t know me, I haven’t always been a fan of fitness. My health, both physical and mental, has been a struggle for basically my whole life. Currently I am overweight, medically speaking. I’m not going to sugar coat it, I am. My BMI is categorised as obese (check yours here). I am not necessarily unhappy with my size, I am bigger than I ever have been, but I am also happier. This fitness journey has never been about my size. My problem is I feel insanely unhealthy. I get out of breath so easily, even just walking up one flight of stairs, and I want…
