I was obese as a kid, and grew into my body and got pretty fit while I was in high school and through college. I even ran marathons and really changed my life around.
Since graduating college, I’ve put weight back on, and then some. I’m at the heaviest I’ve ever been. From the combination of COVID and not being physically active like I was in college (from walking literally everywhere 24/7, to exercise in general). It’s been really easy to gain weight and keep it on.
I even had a membership at Planet Fitness since graduating college, but have probably gone 5 times in a 12 month period, so I was basically just donating money to PF every month.
ANYWAYS, point of the blog, I found a new gym with my fiancé that has Racquetball courts. Since moving to Southern Colorado after graduating I haven’t been able to find Racquetball anywhere in town, and it’s a game that I used to play several times as a week as a teen. It makes working out feel much less like a chore and it feels more like a fun activity. It’s more expensive and farther away from my house than PF, but I’m excited to start getting back into a healthier lifestyle with my fiancé :)
I relate to this blog a lot and it's taken a lot of time and being hurt to really make the right changes. Every day brings new challenges but with time it also becomes easier. Rooting for you to make it work!! I know you will
King! I can relate, I never exercise because I just don't find anything I enjoy doing lmao - but with pools reopening I'm going to give swimming a try because I find it pretty fun and its a good full body workout
