Fitness Friday: Where Nosotros Started!
This is my 1000th post. Yup!
That's quite a number considering I never idea I would dice along blogging for THIS long ... in addition to since nosotros started this journeying amongst a fitness post (2009), I idea I would endure kind-of symbolic to brand the 1000th post well-nigh fitness too.
You already know how I got here, in addition to how I dice along to stay here. So, today I volition nation y'all what happens inwards between.
- I dice through self doubt
- I stress well-nigh my weight
- I possess got body picture issues
- I scrap to brand salubrious nutrient choices
- And sometimes, I precisely hand up!
Yup, fifty-fifty later on all these years it hasn't gotten one-bit-easy. And later on excavation deep I possess got made peace amongst the fact that it NEVER will. Sometimes life comes inwards the way, sometimes move in addition to other fourth dimension I am precisely manifestly lazy or tried. I had to bring that unless I acquire a multi-millionaire who has a personal 'health' chef in addition to a trainer on her payroll, I volition dice along to scrap amongst making the correct choices.
The pressure level of making these choices oft gets the best of me. It is non easy. I similar chocolate ... I similar pizza ... I similar food, DAMMIT! And amongst the whole Blue Planet going gluten-free in addition to paleo I oft experience I am non doing enough. I should endure doing more.
I acquire by to release well-nigh 45 minutes everyday to workout. To create that I possess got to wake upward at 5:00am. Make it to the gym yesteryear 5:30am in addition to endure dorsum yesteryear 6:30am hence that I tin dismiss exit for move yesteryear 7:15am. Usually the workout goes something similar this - fifteen mins cardio, fifteen mins strength, in addition to 5-10 mins abs. And fifty-fifty in addition to hence I am non content because I am non doing Pilates in addition to yoga in addition to swimming in addition to all the other activities that I desire to do. Also, because I never intend I am doing enough. I should endure doing more.
I laid most of my meals. Once inwards a piece I create acquire salads for dejeuner from Whole Foods (Health Grocery Store). I eat minimum of iii fruits in addition to almonds, walnuts in addition to cranberries daily. I possess got Greek yogurt equally dessert on weekdays. I also endeavour in addition to eat all my meals earlier 7pm. I follow this successfully 9/10 times. And silent I intend it is non expert enough. I should endure doing more.
While I know this feeling of "needing to create more" volition never dice away because that is who I am, I possess got learnt to straight it inwards the correct direction. It helps me to force myself in addition to never hand up. It helps me to remain motivated. "Not doing enough" doesn't possess got to interpret into disappointment, it tin dismiss also endure translated into "not giving up".
When I started working out (2005) my life was at a dissimilar stage. When I started this weblog (2009) it was a dissimilar stage. And today (2013) it is at a dissimilar stage. With every phase the challenges change. And equally long equally I maintain doing "my best" in addition to dice along to focus on getting better, I intend I am doing enough.
