[QUOTE="JoeT1, post: 1671499, member: 445711"] Hey, I have seen your posts in other threads and understand everything seems like a lost cause at the moment. I'm not going to give you a motivational speech or say that everything is going to be exactly the same as before. What I can say is, before diagnosis in October, I was a very keen gym goer, I would be weight lifting 3-5 times a week, taking supplements and I was doing my very most to look the best I could. One thing I noticed after diagnosis, although I want to look good, without question, I will put feeling good above it any day of the week. Do I now need to make myself run a 5-10k because it's the thing to do? Deadlift that extra 50kg? No. I'll go at my own pace, stop when I want to stop, start when I want to and although pushing myself....not near as much pressure on myself as before diagnosis. The key is to start back extremely slow. Even a small walk 2-3 times a day, maybe 1km at a time. Build yourself up. Saturday was the first time I went on a threadmill in months, and I only ran 1km, the same yesterday and some weights in as well. It may not be the height of where I was at, but I felt better after it. Be kind to yourself. [/QUOTE]
