We all have the choice. In health, relationships, attitude, food... whatever it may be.
What I want to focus on is the choice to make better health choices. The idea of making a change in your diet or fitness lifestyle may sound easy, but doing so is quite another story. I encourage you all to be honest with yourselves. Look at what you eat during the day, are you staying active? why or why not?
The obvious factors come into play such as work, kids, obligations, laziness, intimidation... but you know what??!! you don't have to prove anything to anyone but yourself. You must take control of your life while you are still able to. It all starts with baby steps, having a paradigm shift about the way you perceive food and exercise. The minute you label it a chore, you are setting a negative connection to it, and therefore will hate it. Think of it as rewarding yourself, your body! The hardest part is getting to the gym, once you are there, put your headphones on and zone out! That is YOUR time. Once the endorphins start flowing you will start to feel great! Over the course of a few weeks, once you see results from your cleaner diet and your consistent work in the gym, you will start to feel more confident and willing to amp up your fitness routines to see more results! It really is awesome!
Remember to be patient with yourself. Everyone is different in their capabilities to drop weight or add muscle, but consistency is key! I promise you. YOU will start to be the envy and/or motivation for the people closest to you in your life!
Make the shift now. With all the processed foods ridden with sugar, fat, chemicals, preservatives..you should really have no choice! Commit to yourself for even just ONE WEEK that you will switch up your normal routine and let me know how you're doing!
