Ten years on this fitness journey and I have come nearly full circle.
I lost 40 pounds when I first began exercising and eating healthy, and gained 20 back over the past 5 years. I just cannot get this weight off. I work out regularly (45 min to an hour 5 days a week); running, elliptical, bike, spin, step, weights, circuits, kickboxing, rebounding, intervals, etc. I am so discouraged. So sick of trying so hard for zero results. I try to tell myself that I am healthy on the inside and that's what matters most, my heart is strong and so are my muscles. But the uphill struggle is tiring. I work and have a family; I simply don't have any more time to work out than I already do.
I am going to be 35 this year. Perhaps this is normal as we age? How do you battle the slow and sneaky weight gain over the years?
I know many of you have probably been here...I would love to read about your experiences.
