The road to a newer healthier me

My consistency.

Consistency is the word of the day.

     My problem with leading a better healthier lifestyle has always been my inability to stay consistent.  I do too much too fast, focus on the negative, don’t set goals other than to lose weight and I fail.

    This time it is different.  It is about doing things for other reasons other than to lose weight, although that is the underlying side effect  I wouldn’t be so unhappy with :)

    It is about getting stronger, gaining endurance so I can run my first 5k, and feeling good about the the food I put in my body, and functioning overall in a healthy way, so that other parts of my life also fall into place.

   It is about mind, body and soul this time.  Not just pounds of fat.

    That is the fundamental difference, which has helped me stay consistent, because it is about me and how much I love myself.

    I truly am beginning to love myself in a healthy way, to learn from my mistakes and to keep pushing forward.

    I am blessed for all that I have, for my privilege, and for my opportunities.  There will never be a day where I don’t acknowledge that.

Today overall I did my next workout in the C25K workout plan on the treadmill.  I can feel my endurance building.  I completed a total of 2 miles.

    I also got my butt kicked by my trainer doing a variety of leg moves, and abs.  He is great, and made me really feel it.

   So today, although a lot has gone wrong, a lot has also gone right.  This summer I will truly get a handle on my life, and the way I live, and the person I want to be.

Until tomorrow,

xoxo

If money grew on trees, or I knew how to save it when I came into even a little bit, I wouldn’t be in this predicament.

This is a little awkward

   I am 20 years old and thinking about marriage.  All my life marriage is the last thing I have ever wanted to be a part of.  Actually I just accepted my career, my goals were more important to me.  Now I see my outlook on life is slowly changing. I still want more, but I see the “more” changing.  I would actually not mind getting married after I am 25, I feel like marriage isn’t the end all of my life.  It is just a new chapter, things won’t change, I won’t morph into a different person over night, I would still be able to pursue my dreams, just with a partner that is a little bit more concrete thanks to a ritual of our society.
