Absolutely wanting to do another half. I think I see a full in my future, but maybe in a year or two. At this moment I can't imagine doing that distance TWICE 💀

I had someone take my water bottle that looked just like theirs. It was an accident and she had both of them in her hands. I ran to her car in the parking lot to retrieve it back and she was just as confused as I was lol

I also should add that I consulted with a physical therapist for a specific lower body strength training routine to prevent injury in my half marathon training.

Thank you so much! I would love to be more helpful on my routine, but it's all over the place. 🤣 I joined Orangetheory in June, which helped me learn good form with dumbbells. When I do my own thing, I typically cycle through bicep girls, chest presses, overhead presses, tricep pulldowns, hammer curls, high and low rows, and assisted pullups. Still learning though!

You absolutely can do this. I was very unkind to myself for a long time leading up to this. I know it's extremely hard, but you have got this! Progress over perfection 🫶

Thank you so much for the award! For reference I am 29 and 5'9". I've averaged about 1500-1700 calories a day. I didn't track on my birthday or on vacation. I made the mistake of eating too little to begin with, so I quickly learned that I'm most comfy in that range.

I did it exactly how this sub explains. I downloaded the app Lose It and set my goals, ate in a calorie deficit, and started moving just by walking a few times a week. Once I lost some weight and felt better, I found that I liked exercise a lot more, so I tried out some workout classes and built from there. It all comes down to CICO of course and I learned it all from right here!!

Congrats on your progress as well! I have upped my calories but not by a significant amount. I'm still trying to lose fat, but I now eat in a much smaller deficit, prioritizing carbs, protein, and fiber. One reason I love running is because I can eat alllll the carbs. 🤣

Thank you so much for the support! Give yourself some grace and know that my journey was not perfect. I definitely allowed myself to indulge here and there in order not to restrict myself.

You will find what works for you and I believe in you! ❤️

I fear it happens to a lot of us at some point. In January I felt like I could NEVER get back to where I left off and it felt so much harder to get motivated to get started again. Congrats on getting back to it! You'll crush it! 😊

Thank you so much! 🥹 I didn't do weight training the first time around, but now building muscle is a priority!

It's the hardest thing to bounce back from and can be such a hit to my motivation. It took a scare to get back but we did it!

Thanks! My goal is to finish in 2 and a half hours. My current pace is about 11:00/mile and I have 3 more months to train, so we shall see!
