New here and getting back into healthy living

After months of being lazy and not working out I am getting back into it.  I am struggling with my diet right now and getting back into my meal prepping.  After putting on some weight I am just tired of not being the old me that was fit and happier about my life. I work night shift so my eating is kinda hard to keep consistent. If I can just get myself going again it will be great just lacking motivation right now.

Good luck getting back into it, Joshua. If you've done this before, you sure can do it again. Each week I post an article here which usually is targeted toward weight loss but I think a lot of the tips are wonderful toward establishing/re-establishing a healthy lifestyle. You could use this for accountability. It's nice to check in every week. https://www.dailystrength.org/group/diets-weight-maintenance/discussion/weekly-weigh-in-mar-19-25-simple-tweaks
Enjoy the process... I think that's one thing we forget to do sometimes, is to appreciate that we're making the effort to change our lives for the better.

Oh man, thanks for posting this. I'm in the same boat. I started a business and have put on a few pounds just grabbing take out while working long hours at the office. Now my clothes are starting not to fit, and I need to get back in shape. Looking to re-establish a healthy gym routine and better eating habits. It's so hard to meal prep! :) Good luck and I will be cheering for you on the boards!

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
