Today felt different

[Rickne]

Good morning folks , Usual early morning gym start and hopped on the treadmill and set my time of 20 mins . I usually manage 10 mins running before i conk out but i kept on going today with minimal effort. Its the first time I kept running and didnt really feel like i'd pushed myself for once. So i kept up for 15 this time and power walked the final 5.Even managed heavier weights on the machines and my rowing strokes per minute were at a higher constant. But what got me today is for 2 weeks running ive had a 2nd person say i look different and have I lost weight? I don't know how to take it really as my scales have remained on 18 stone for the last month . I mean its gone up and down a few pounds but usually the same but I do feel alot better and people are commenting so I don't know. I admit I dont eat that well at all Im a terrible fussy eater lol. All I can think of doing is continuing and improving my fitness and go with the flow.

Aren't you following the programme? Running on its own will not result in much weight loss unless you combine it with a healthy diet, but your body will look leaner 😊

No I only run indoors and it's too much to manage fiddling around with that awful app plus my other fitness apps. I don't just run

Running is running and it doesn't matter where you do it. The podcasts are better than the apps.

Ahh my headphones just fall out and I hate wearing them to be honest. I work to the principles of the plan but not word for word. At the moment I'm working at consistently running 20 mins. They I'll progress further. I do a full circuit training on the weights and 2k rows. I walk alot at work too so I'll get there. Food is an issue as I have issues with selective eating but that will have to take longer. I just eat less of what I did. Half portions and lots of water. It's better than the life I was living before. I didn't do a thing and honestly I found this forum out of chance and originally thought it was just a community for like minded people. I like to read and share story's and experiences along the way.
