So I have been now playing games, justifying the weight I know I have gained. I used to weight myself daily and/or weekly depending on what I was doing. For a bit, I did decide for my mental sanity I should take a break from the cage of the "numbers on the scale" and yes, it was liberating...
However, lately I have not been weighing myself because "I feel good" and I kept telling myself I didn't want to get off track. Riiiight, even though the number is just a number...I kept using it as an excuse, because deep down I know I went a little overboard and things are a bit "snugger" than usual :)
I want to try the number best fitness routine rated in the U.S. called P90X. My boyfriend was telling me about it and truly believes it will help me achieve my goals because I am "the cardio queen" but I could definitely cut back on that and tone up some...I am much "softer" than I need to be in some areas so to speak.
I kept telling him I wanted to start it but not yet because I wanted to weigh myself at the start and finish. But I kept procrastinating because I didn't want to weigh myself yet...when the whole point is it doesn't really matter where you start because it is supposed to get any one in the best shape of his/her life by using muscle confusion.
So today was the day I had a come to Jesus meeting with myself. Pictures, measurements, and pounds...definitely reaffirmed what I already knew...and that was that I have definitely let myself indulge more than I need...but also that I have a new motivation to attempt to improve my fitness level.
So today my motto is, "Just Do It". Don't wait for after the next birthday because you are going to go out to eat, or after the weekend because you do not have the groceries in the house, or wait for the spring because sweaters can offer great tummy camoflage...just do it today because quite frankly today may not always have a tomorrow.
I hope you all acheive your health and wellness goals. I am excited to start a new fitness regime that is going to have me feeling as if I never worked out before-but like they say beauty is pain and to be honest I rarely get sore from my current workout regime. Once your body adapts you have to change it up, keep it guessing to maximize your efforts! Good luck!
