Things are different this time, I have a totally different mind set as I did before. For one, I know if I mess up, I don't stop. I take it as it is and MOVE ON! They say for some animals that once they taste blood, that's all they want. That would be me when I eat fast food, I want more and more. You can't really blame a person for having that addiction with the high content of sugar, fat & salt. Every once in awhile fast food will sound good, I am stronger though. =)
It's poison and that's how I must view it, would you bring poison into the house and ingest it? Fast food is poison to the body. It's helped me gain all this weight, it doesn't care. Why should I care enough to buy and eat it?
My biggest fall lately has been exercise, I hate it. Well, I hate the beginning of it... Usually the first 15mins I HATE it, then start feeling GREAT! At the end of it all, I love how I feel. I'm more of an outside workout person. I hate being in a gym or in the house, I want to be FREE. Plus if I do the same thing over and over again, just looking at a wall or a TV, I will get bored. My mind is always all over the place and it's hard to stay focused on one thing for very long. I would rather go for a run in the park or a local track. I just love being outside and for me, whatever works and helps get this mess off me is great.
In the past I felt I must know everything right then and there. I need to know all the exercises that need to be done.. I need to know what foods I need to eat, etc. The worse thing for me to do some times is get on youtube and look at weight loss/exercise vlogs. If I'm looking at a person who has lost 200lbs already, they are doing something different during a workout than myself. They are at a different mindset than myself. The person I am now is not the same person I was a month ago and it didn't happen over night. So, skipping forward and looking at someone who has already lost their desired weight vs. me at this moment, not a good idea.
Also the people who say to do this and that, etc.. You need to be burning this many calories during a workout! You need to be working out for 3 hours a day(just an example) and drinking 50 protein shakes! That may be great for them, but this is me. It's proven that 30mins of steady activity a day is great for the body. Working out for 1 hour a day is even better and shows signs of reversed health effects over time.
It all boils down to comparing myself to others. So, I've thrown out the.. I need to do this... I need to do that's. I am me and this is my journey.
Today I push mowed the front and backyard. We don't have a huge yard, but it's a lot to push mow. I'm weird and like to do stuff like that, taking care of the yard is some thing I take pride in. I just love being outside, doesn't really matter what I'm doing. We're not designed to stay inside a house all the time anyways. ;)
My goals coming up will be to workout more. I'm setting an hour, 3 days a week. Go me!
I'll try to remember to blog more about my progress, I would like to start my weight loss vlog again as well.
Until next time!
BE THE CHANGE!!!
