Life’s a rollercoaster…..
I’ve always been pationate about sports, being in good shape, physically active and health conscious. The latter is officially my number one priority and passion to date as it has been for the last 5yrs or so. This is where the rollercoaster comes in!
Starting your health and wellness journey is a climb in itself. Where to start? What to eat? Exercises… how, when, where and what are those? There’s many different hills and personal battles to climb and conquer. Best way, start with one. Then another one. Then another! Too many people get caught up thinking too far ahead. Focus on the smallest first step, gym shoes, a path to run on, a friend to run with. Let it snowball forward on it’s on and before you know it, it’ll be 6months down the road and you’ll be thinking that wasn’t so hard and I actually enjoy this new routine I’ve started, let’s go a little farther!
Start small, let your health and fitness path snowball ahead for you!
I have been the prime example of a rollercoaster, it’s not always easy and sometimes you get lost! I’m a person who enjoys fitness and takes food to a personal and passionate level, I enjoy cooking and it is an escape for me, that’s an advantage I have, some people hate cooking, but with a little help it can be quick and easy and bareable for you maybe eventually grown on you!
Over the past 5 years I have went from 7%body fat back up to 25% body fat a half a dozen times. I usually run into a 6month rut where there’s one too many fun events, weddings, bdays or vacations and then you say to yourself after this next one we’ll get back at it. Before you know it you’re 15+lbs heavier lost your cardio and don’t have the pep you used to, more tired and less motivated.
This is where I learned maybe that extra party isn’t for you, maybe drinking isn’t for you, maybe it’s friends, maybe it’s your shopping…. 9 out of 10 times it’s that one small thing staring you right in the face! If it’s proportionately unhealthy or someone/something isn’t making you a better version of yourself….. ?
Best advice, find your health buddy! Someone you can hold responsible and vice versa, don’t let a small foolish thing stand in the way of your health,well-being and happiness!
