I struggle to get my partner to take his health seriously. He keeps commenting on how good I look now I've lost weight but trying to get him to do the same is like pulling teeth. He gives up quite easily. I've got him to go kayaking once but he's not keen (I go paddling for hours at a time on my own). He bought himself new trainers 4 months ago & has worn them for a run 3 times. He's started home cooked meals more but they aren't the healthiest (he lives his carbs) but at least they aren't processed I guess 🤷. He also likes his homebrew beer. He has 1-2 pints a night with the occasional night off. How do I get him to make positive changes when he's not great mentally?

When I first started, it definitely felt it took an age to feel I was getting somewhere, but now my fitness has reached a certain point, I see results much quicker.

@Jd Byrne you'll get there sooner than you think. It's like everything just suddenly clicks into place 😃

I find it difficult to focus on multiple things in life. I've just started a new job (that comes with a free gym membership!) but it took all my energy to try to get used to the job & timings such as meal breaks etc that I only did 2 workouts last week (1x treadmill run & kayaking at the weekend). Try to remember that sometimes we have to prioritise some things over others & not put ourselves under too much pressure. It's ok to have a 'light' week every once in a while when life gets too hectic.
