I hate the way I look and feel right now.
I have been thinking for weeks about the need to go on a strict diet and workout regime...
I have the tools needed to be successful.
I was doing very well last spring, summer into early fall...
Last summer really took a toll on me. My father passed away in June. I made Chief/E7 in July, which kept me occupied until mid-September. I injured my back in August, which has put a damper on my fitness habits.
In the spring, I pushed my body to the ultimate limit. I ran in several events... Several 5Ks, a 10K and topped it off with a half marathon.
I know what I have to do and why... There is a high percentage of Obesity and Diabetes in my family.
For the most part, I eat healthy, which is not the problem.
I can't seem to gather enough motivation to work out. There is always an excuse (or another). I recently had to change my morning routine, which left me no time to workout in the morning. I don't like to workout during the day because I have other things that must be done and I won't workout in the evening because the kids are home.
I have sat down several times, wrote up a routine, started and within a week, gave up. What is wrong with me?
I need to make a change and soon.
I understand this feeling.
ReplyDeleteI had to make a switch from hating how I looked and felt to wanting to take better care of the body I have right now. It's a hard leap of mind to take, but it does make a difference.
Focus on what your body can do and has done for you, and then taking care of it becomes a way of saying thank you for all the amazing things you do for me body. You've already listed several things in your post, so you're already on your way.
Good luck!
Thanks Christine.
