I haven't been to the gym in a minute but I am jumping rope daily, doing cardio 4 times a week and yoga and strength training at home. I have a special needs kiddo so the babysitters and the gym cant handle him and I am a single mom so mostly I take him running with me or I run with my danes when I can get a sitter.

move at your own pace. BUT MOVE lol

Had a cheeky win eating out that I wanted to share. Went to Frankie and Benny's with my fella. Plan of attack when eating out so far has been getting as clean a high Protein starter/salad as I can find and he gets a main we both like the look of. Then get it all to come at once with a spare plate and I get bits and bobs from his plate and vice versa. Works out really well 🙂.
This time it was their avocado, chicken and bacon salad with dressing on the side. The chicken was kind of beyond chargrilled to dry, but I was starving and knew I didn't need many edible bits to make me full. So with lean bacon, chicken, avocado to lubricate, bits of salad, and one cheeky sweet potato fry, and taste of burger off his plate, I filled myself up nicely.
Waitress came and cleared and didn't, thankfully, comment on the untouched look of my salad bowl.
Next thing we know she comes back and says "I took that salad off your bill. That chicken was overdone. You should have told me!". Funny thing is I'm really good at calling out mistakes compared to the average Brit, but if I had asked her to replace earlier a) I would have got horrifically hangry and b) Would have still looked like I hated it when I was done.
I hadn't got the heart to tell her the truth so I just thanked her hugely and left a really big tip!
TIP for folk just starting going out: Don't refuse a drink, just accept a glass of Water or get a bottle for the table. My poor waitress was so worried about me not having a drink she didn't leave us in peace for more than 2 minutes!

I still struggle to go like I probably should, but I am trying to focus on starting out at 3x a week. When I go, I do about 30min. of cardio (usually the treadmill), and then I do this 30min total body workout - it is a section in Planet Fitness where it has a set of machines you go through to get in strength training on your entire body. If you are intimidated by the gym, I would highly suggest looking into PF if you have one locally. The atmosphere at any of them I have went to is so welcoming, and friendly. Not to mention the price is pretty nice. Best of luck! I have faith in you!

And now, I'm ecstatic to be in my friend's hand-me-down size 12 jeans! American Eagle ones, which I would NEVER buy for myself. And they are not tooo tooo tight, they are comfy and on the looser side, so maybe a 10 soon? Size 10 is the smallest size I ever wore as an adult!! I am so glad I did this!
