Getting back in the saddle....!

Hello fitness pallers!
I kind of want to kick myself, as I lost so much weight, then went from an active job in hospitality to a sedentary office job. I was working nights in hospitality, so I do feel so much better working days, but I've also become very lazy in comparison to how I was. Sadly, I've put back on about half the weight I lost... but my positive thought is that at least it's only half and I am not letting myself get to the point I was a few years ago. So here goes take #2, taking it steady but ready to get much healthier and get the weight off again and keep it off! If anyone has tips to be more active when in a sedentary job, that would be good! I always take the stairs, so hopefully that is good.

Yes, you can do this! And most of us have done the same thing.... loss then gain, but then we choose to come back!
