@springlering62 Not TMI whatsoever. I did get a tad bit jealous though (in the best possible way). @socajam Slow and steady wins the race here. From online instructors, I think you made a really good choice. Can't wait for this year's 30-days of yoga.

Ooof, that's gonna be slightly awkward cause the only mats I've ever loved are Manduka :# I do agree that they are heavier, I would not go around with my Manduka unless it was leg day. Especially the Manduka Pro, is really darn heavy. Personally, I was only bothered by the smell the first week and the anti-slip has never,…

Second week of waking up earlier to get a run in in the morning. The winter darkness has started to settle in and when it's so dark at 5pm, I have a very hard time to get out the door and run.

Not get bummed out that the gyms are becoming off limits again. Not to a 180 and completely skip strength training again. This is not the end of the world and it should not cause me anxiety. (which then causes bulimic episodes) It is just another bump on the road and persistence is key.

Hope yoga works for you. I found that it had a huge impact in my life and I do catch myself using Adriene's yoga cues for everyday scenarios as well :smile: . One advice I would give is to make sure your mat is appropriate for you. For a first mat don't go all out but if you end up making it a habit, skip the flimsy and…

I have tried playing with different rations of protein and carbs for lunch and pre-gym snack but my dear stomach refuses to acknowledge my effort. Every day, around 16:30, the growling starts. I wonder if it's a battle-cry to encourage me to work out :P The part I admit I may be super wrong is how I estimate the calories…

I will invite myself in for a tiny bit and share my rant as well. I was running while losing and it was actually going pretty well, even on days with long distances. Gradually, I moved into maintenance territory and everything was perfectly fine. The moment I added weights to the mix (I do a 2 days weights - 2 days runs -…

Even when I don't feel like working out, I am reminding myself that a run can be as long and as I fast as I want it. Just hitting the pavement is a victory on its own. No need to run hard, just enjoy the outdoors time and your podcast. And still, my "I don't wanna" 5k time is sub 6min/km. This would have just been…

Kudos! And even more so for being done with your PhD. I'm halfway there and lemme tell ya, the havoc is real. Congratulations Dr. :)

I think it may have been water weight but today I hit 151 all of a sudden, so 3 pounds to go! (Which is very weird because last weekend was completely off track) I decided to get back to weight training, and not rely only on yoga, which means that I am constantly starving so I reset my calorie goal. I don't know, I think I…

Everyone has given really good advice but I will add my 2 cents for what they're worth. I have been a very "all in or all out" person for the past decade. I either work my butt off, or do nothing at all. What worked for me was balance, schedules and flexibility. Some days it's really hard to run, legs hurt, PMS is poking…

Surprisingly enough, the only time I have managed to be at 64 (granted, I was only 22 at the time) I still wore size L/40-42 at pants. I am bottom heavy gal and that doesn't seem to change no matter the weight. :blush: I kinda hope that body composition work will help with that. Good luck on your journey!

*(Pardon my metric) 1.77m, started from 85 kgs, now down to 71 and I've yo-yoing between 76-70 for about 3 years now, I always thought that 64 kgs was the way to go but I'm starting to feel this isn't possible anymore and I think I'll stop at 68 and then work on body composition. My main problem has always been how bulky I…

I logged into to the forum for the first time ever just to say THANK YOU for this. I lost 20 kgs and down came the ladies... Ever since, even when I put on 10 kgs, I still have the same downward facing lemon A-cups. I can't begin to describe how insecure that is making me. It's one thing to be droopy but how can you be…
