Life without Anorexia

My motto is
'Dont let the sadness of your past & the fear of your future ruin the happiness of your present'

My life at the moment is completely different to how it once was. I spent 5 years sick with anorexia nervosia and depression as well as struggling with self harm and overexercising. I spent 2 years in different treatment centres.
And since 2012 i have been declared healthy from my eating disorder.

I have been blogging for 7 years, and my whole journey is written in my posts. I now represent healthy and happiness. I want to show anyone struggling that it is possible to recover, no matter how hard it may seem.

I now blog about recovery, my life, veganism and positivity!

Saturday gym

Happy weekend everyone :) Hope that everyone is having a good Saturday, whatever you are doing :)

This morning i let myself sleep in, as long as I could... which resulted in getting up at 9am. I didnt feel so hungry when i got up, so thought about going for a walk or something, but just didnt feel like it. So instead i waited a while before i ate breakfast, which was posted in one of my previous posts :)
  I then headed to the gym. If im honest, i didnt have that much motivation or inspiration. During the summer ive mainly been going to gym classes, i havent done so much of my own workouts. So i was lacking inspiration, i.e what exercises to do etc.
   But i got to the gym, and stood on the treadmill and thought.... well, i'll run and see how much energy i have. (As i want to start running more again. I havent run any long distances i.e more than 5km, in the past 2 months or so. As i cut down on cardio (only going for walks/powerwalks) and i focused more on HIIT training and strength training). I put on a series on my phone and watched that while i ran... i didnt look at the time, i didnt look at the distance, but i kept increasing, or decreasing the speed. And i ran 10km in 51 minutes, which considering i havent run any long distances in more then 2 months i am proud. And also, the last time i ran 10km i ran it in like 55/56 minutes.....






















And then i went to the strength training section, and was focusing on my legs/butt today.... ;) And i felt great. I could increase my weights and just felt great!!!! There was practically nobody in the gym, so i did film myself while working out (XD) so might see if i upload them or not (they need a bit of editing!!)! haha























^^^A few 'screenshots' from the videos ;)

Came home and had a late lunch, followed by some desssert (A girl needs her chocolate ;))
