Name changed for this as I'm well aware that for many this will seem an embarrassingly small achievement which is why I don't feel able to share with anyone IRL.
I am seriously overweight- actually in the obese category with BMI 31.
I have a long running history of disordered eating (bulimic, food restrictive in my teens until early 20s, binge eater from early 20s until today). Since having my DD 3 years ago I have really not taken care of myself and piled the weight on since pregnancy.
Following a recent MC I felt spurred into prioritising my health and so I spent my birthday money on a second hand crosstrainer.
I've had it for just under 3 weeks now.
In the first few days of owning it I couldn't go longer than 5 mins on it without feeling too breathless to continue (it felt pretty devastating to realise how unfit and out of shape I'd let myself become- I used to be a proper gym bunny in my 20s).
I decided to increase my time on it by 1 minute every time I used it and today I hit 15 minutes and just over 5km on resistance level 5.
I am really chuffed with myself and have my next target to get to 20 mins per use on that resistance level and to do it at least 4 times a week.
So yep- I'm super proud right now. Hot, sweaty, red but proud.
Would be lovely to hear anyone else's Sunday achievements if you have any- so, in the words of Heather Small: what have you done today to make you feel proud?!
