After all the COVID lockdowns and injury when I finally did come back to exercise I just feel like a shadow of my former self and I’ve been trying to get back to where I was. It’s frustrating.
Same, I got into running then COVID hit and I did the lockdown and eat thing, putting on about 20kgs which somehow snuck up on me… I’m 6’5" so it’s not as obvious unless I weigh myself. I’ve been running three times a week since September last year, had a few injuries and breaks, but keep managing to drag myself out of bed. The change this time has been running with the doggo, he’s expecting it now, so he helps me up in the mornings when I don’t wanna. Whether it’s running, swimming, biking, weights, don’t worry too much about weightloss, but more about heart health and overall body health. An entry level Garmin has great stats that help with this motivation, at least for me. Keep at it hey. It’s worth it.
Its not about the destination, its about the journey. If you could snap your fingers and suddenly bit fit AF sure you might do it, but you couldn’t be proud of the results.
I was in the same position, shoulder injury on my end. I understand how you feel, but it doesn’t take too long before you start to get into the groove again.
