I used to struggle to lose some weight, and was too casual at sport. David Goggins - you can watch him at Joe Rogan and check his book - clicked in me and seemed to have changed my mindset regarding physical activities.
As a result, I managed to keep Paleo diet, and challenge my body and mind with regular long distance running (sweet suffering :) The healthy changes in my weight followed!
Goggins gets flak sometimes for being about all the attention, but who cares. He's inspirational for a lot of people, and I think that's what is important. Good on you for finding your personal inspiration and making the changes you wanted to make!
You say sweet suffering, and you're right. Embrace the suffering and life just gets...better. From Musashi,
“If you can bear up under hardship, you can experience a pleasure greater than the pain,” Musashi said solemnly. “Day and night, hour by hour, people are buffeted by waves of pain and pleasure, one after the other. If they try to experience only pleasure, they cease to be truly alive. Then the pleasure evaporates.”
