I found this very inspiring, especially the first part.
It’s always a choice.
I literally woke up this morning and thought to myself WHY?
Why am I working so hard, why do I need this?
I guess for me it’s a lot of the same reasons as him, the way it makes me feel, the discipline, the happiness and peace of mind it brings.
The stronger you are the better you feel.
Every time I work out I can feel my strength growing not just physically but mentally and emotionally. Mental and emotional fitness is so important.
I need this shirt…besides the fact that it’s cute it’s also so true. If I had a bad day, a run definitely helps
When I have off days I used to beat myself up about it. Now I pick myself and get over it quickly. I can tell that working out and getting enough sleep have made me mentally and physically healthier.
When I started this a two weeks ago it definitely helped me break through my plateau. I lost about 3 pounds which I am happy with. I also got massively sick in the second wee and am on several medications to make me better. Ironically one of the side effects is weight gain (*shakes fists at sky* ”Why God WHHYYYYYY”). I don’t have the camera or measuring tape which is making me frustrated but when I do I still will send results.
I’m very happy I did this challenge. I said in a early post that for me it is going to turn into a 4 week challenge and boy those will be some great results I promise. When I get over this sickness and can breath I will be taking advantage of every day.
It’s kind of ironic really but getting sick really made me think about when I have felt my best. I always felt my best when I was working out, eating well, and sleeping a reasonable times. It’s made me appreciate being healthy and striving for fitness even more. So thanks for the challenge!!!
This is all so interesting, some of this I knew already but quite a lot of it I had no clue. I mean a pound of muscle burns 7-10 calories versus 2-3 from fat. Makes you realize how important it is to be fit and thriving versus simply thin.
