It's sad to see people continue to play
the guessing game when it comes to their own fitness and nutrition. At some
point we have get out of our own way and admit what we are doing will never
work. There was a TV show on recently called "My Mom is Obsessed". One
woman was extremely obsessed with the gym. She worked out 12 hours a day and was still 30lbs
overweight. The show was about her kids wanting their mom at home more but I
couldn't help but notice that she spent all that time at the gym and still looked
the same. They showed some of her workouts and they seemed okay but then they
showed her serving dinner to her family... BAM.. HUGE red flag!!
This reminded me of my frustrations for
so many years. I was working out
hard and consistently – I knew what to do at the gym. But I wasn’t eating right so I never saw the benefits from
my hard work. I was really wasting
my time and money and eventually even my trainer’s time.
Proper nutrition is CRITICAL to your
(our) success. If you don’t eat
right, it doesn’t matter how much you work out. You will not see the results that you want. Losing weight the right way takes time
and commitment to not only your fitness, but your nutrition. I am NOT perfect. I take it day by day and I try to make
more good choices than bad. There
are days when I fall down but I try to get right back up the next meal or the
next day at the very least.
I know that if I want to see some real
progress in my own journey, I even need to do better. More water.
More vegetables. More
consistent eating. This is a journey so I'm committed to continuing to work on myself, my fitness AND especially my nutrition.
I’ve challenged myself… what can I
accomplish with absolute focus through the next 30 days? We shall see!!!
