As I blog curled up in my sheets, I ponder over the commitment I've made with myself to be healthy and stay healthy. For three weeks, I have been working the machines at the gym for 5 days every week; it was painful the first week, but my body is getting accustomed to the work I put it through , which makes it an even more fun experience.
Aside from the fun, my exercising habit has boosted my self-esteem and confidence, and I couldn't be a happier. Knowing that I'm doing myself good motivates me to even work harder.
Eating wise and make good choices when meal-planning has moved me to understand that I am what I put in my mouth. Prior to taking up this exercise regimen and eating healthy, I was torturing the body with my junk choices, all as an excuse for being depressed and wanting to take refuge in the candy and sweet chocolate. I mean, I haven't conquered it all and lost 50lbs, but personally, the success for me lies in accepting that I have a challenge, taking the right steps to making change happen and being consistent.
I'm totally one of those cats that will be excited about the prospects of gym and then I'll just gradually lessen my visits and keep making excuses for sparing an hour of my time to treat my body.
Enough of my rant on this; I feel good and challenged to the point that I want to surprise myself with every stride I take.
