YowieIn 2012 I was 43, and my <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/weight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weight</a> was just shy of 130kg. I felt like crap, and couldn't keep up with my kid playing kiddy football. I decided to do something about it, started <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/C25K" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#C25K</a> and a <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/diet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diet</a> , and by June 2014, I was down to 92kg and was <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#running</a> 5km three times a week and was well on my way to doing 10km.Then life threw a curveball and I couldn't <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/run" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#run</a> any more.And in 2019 I was back to 125kg and was diagnosed with <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/diabetesT2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diabetesT2</a>.And I started <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/C25K" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#C25K</a> again, and was back to running 5km a couple of times a week, and was down to about 100kg.And life threw another curveball, and I couldn't run again. I didn't know it then but my <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/coeliac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coeliac</a> gene had activated due to the trauma that stopped me running, and I felt bloody awful. And yup, I ballooned back to ~120kg again. Several utterly useless doctors later "Lose weight and exercise more" "I can barely get off the couch, I am exhausted just walking from the waiting room to your office" "Here's an exercise program" a good <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/doctor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doctor</a> found severe <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/anaemia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anaemia</a> as well as <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/bloating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bloating</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/JointInflammation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JointInflammation</a> and asked why? and I was diagnosed as a <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/coeliac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coeliac</a> in November 2023.I stopped eating <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/gluten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gluten</a> and I slowly lost the feeling of being the walking dead and I started feeling alive again. Very slowly the weight dropped. And I rediscovered the joy of <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/moving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moving</a> my <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/body" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#body</a>. Today, I am <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/55yo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#55yo</a> , 97kg, and just did this on the <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/exercise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exercise</a> bike, which is 5 minutes longer than when I started a few weeks ago. I'm <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/purposefully" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#purposefully</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/exercising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exercising</a> again.Will I <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/run" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#run</a> again? Probably not - the <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/knees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knees</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/hips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hips</a> are not what they once were - but I've found that <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/dancing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dancing</a> to <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#livemusic</a> is great <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/aerobic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aerobic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/exercise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exercise</a> and am happy to hop on the <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/StationaryBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StationaryBike</a> to make sure I can cope with 2 hours of thrashing it out to <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IronMaiden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IronMaiden</a> next month. A girl has to have <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/goals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goals</a>. It's no longer about my <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/weight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weight</a> or how I <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/look" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#look</a>, it's because <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/life" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#life</a> is short, and I want to <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/live" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#live</a> it.
