Really struggled to "find" the time to do anything since November/December. The job I quit in January, for me, was the reason. Could never seem to get the time to do it, always working, even when on days off. Leads to anxiety for me and I end up just wanting to find a way to chill out and end up comfort eating too.
My heaviest has been 17st (108kg) in 2017. I got down to 14st 10 (93.5kg) by Dec 2017/Jan 2018 which is my lightest since I was about 14/15.
I'm currently sitting at 15st 10 (100kg) and aiming to get back down to 14st level.
Need to stop letting anxiety get the best of me and just get to it because I feel fantastic after working out no matter what it is. The issue since November has been motivation. I start my new job soon and have had time to clear my head.
Have done 30 minutes on my spin bike the last two days (11miles in 30 mins) consisting of 2 mile warmup, 1 mile 8/10 resistance, 1 mile 2/10 resistance until I reach 30 minutes. Ends up being 4.5 easy miles and 4.5 hard miles. I take a small breather and then do a kettlebell workout as I want to try tone my arms/shoulders/chest. So just under an hour of working out and according to my polar HR monitor (chest) I'm burning 650-750 calories between the two.
I feel great, a little sore, but great nonetheless. Now for me, is to just get my diet back in order as that's the main reason for my weight gain.
Start of another journey, and I'm excited.
