@skillz I appreciate your thorough response! You do seem to be on the right track and I do commend you for refusing to reduce your calories. That can be really hard to do especially when we hear that's the holy grail. I'm more for substitutions. Like in your example you'll eat that apple instead...

@leasaithe A mental trick is starting with the barest minimum then as you stay consistent allow yourself that little upgrade to cuter gym outfits, water bottle, etc. Too often we buy things for the person we want to be not the person we are currently.

@perviasrectas It's more of a mental game than one would think. Does anyone want to work out when they are sick? Nope! Will you continue to work out once you move on from this set back? Yes! I'm not a doctor but the more we take care of ourselves, the more our immune system strengthens and we'll...
