I can't remember the last time I posted here. Ah well.
So in the last two or three months I've really upped my excercise routine (it's not THAT routine but as much as I could)
My cardio is still appalling and Im working on it. As for lifting andsuch Ive definitely noticed more definition in my arms and shoulders and Im slowly losing fat around my back, belly and legs. I dont usually weigh myself but im down to 11.7 from 13 stone. Still nowhere near the definition that want and admire in other women who are so into their fitness and diet. Im figuring a lot out by myself mostly as no one I know is into the athletic or muscular look. My family too. They get the idea of losing weight but "muscles on a girl are weird". That was fun to hear. But it's something I want for myself. Im unfortunately not to bright when it comes to setting up the right routines and meals etc. (Meal prep still hasn't been done!) But Im trying. The other reason is my depression and anxiety. It's not a fun thing at all. So when Im really into my workouts, I'm not thinking about things or worrying etc. It's such a reprieve.
Today I worked out some but felt no energy to really go at it like "Yes! This is great! Another rep!" Which I know is fine. But still I sit there thinking it isn't good enough. (Hello anxiety) so hopefully tomorrow I'll be back in the right mindest and have that energy.
Getting there slowly, but at least it's something.
So, sorry about the rambling. It's always good for me to get things out of my head and I've found people on forums like these to be lovely. I know I feel like Im moaning or just going on but I've been told its good to get it out.
So thanks guys.
Much love

Yes, sometimes we have to tune out and laugh off our own goddamn families. They mean well, but their negative criticism and worrying is a CAUSE of our anxiety.
I always say "strive for EXCELLENCE, NOT perfection". If you feel good when you work out, that is enough. Stop comparing yourself to other women, who may be younger, or may simply have a genetically slimmer body type. Focus on FEELING great, which, sounds like, you do, congrats!
If you're looking to up the cardio, if you own a bicycle, ride it to the gym. It's the perfect warm-up and cool-down before and after weight training. Or the treadmill, arc trainer, eliptical or stationary bikes in the gym before and after weight training will accomplish the same thing.
Been good diet wise as well so things are slowly changing.
Thanks
