It's no secret that I am overweight. It's also not a secret that I am not very fit (at the moment, I'm working on it.) What you might not know is that I have never had to work very hard for the body I had. When I was thin, I walked to school every day, my mom made dinner every night. Things naturally fell into place. I took one weight training class in high school and didn't really try. I didn't know the struggle that I do now. It's not that I know how to exercise and just don't, I never really learned. It was never important to me.
I have never been into sports or exercise, other than swimming, and I didn't do it competitively because my mom thought I wasn't competitive enough. She was probably right. But now, I am into it. I actually was a little sad on Monday that I didn't have boot camp class because of Labor Day.
Last night we did, however. And it kicked my ass yet again. But this time I got worn out more easily, which is to say it will get worse before it gets better. My body did not want to do what I was trying to get it to do. I just concentrated on one spot on the horizon and told that part of my brain to shut up. And that I was going for it.
That's my advice to you today, don't listen to that voice in your head. It doesn't even know what its talking about.
I love your blog, just so you know.
ReplyDeleteThat voice in your head is your biggest obstacle. You can do this; keep it up.
ReplyDeleteKeep on going! You can do it! Even though I've been exercising regularly for years there are still days where I'm just so tired that I get exhausted after 15 minutes but keep pushing on! I know you can do it!
