I want to get fit again and feel healthy the way I use to,
but keep saying to myself that I haven’t got the time, I haven’t got the equipment
and that I haven’t got the motivation.
That is all a big joke.
I have the time, I have one, three and a half month old baby
who actually sleeps a lot, and will quite happily lay on the bed or floor for
twenty minutes while I do a few reps in the kitchen. She even waits patiently
while I change her nappy, but half way
through get side tracked by trying to organize her room (which she doesn’t even
crawl around in and pull things out yet, but wow, it is so messy!).
And equipment? Wow that is bad, I have my own flabby body
weight, and I have some nice 3-5 kg pumpkins from my garden hanging around, I
can lift them, even better I can lift my 8kg baby!
And the whole motivation thing, well, that is just comes
down to the good old never-get-it-done me, the procrastination-er. And the fact
that for 2 years I ate quite healthy, never let my eyes decide how much I was
going to eat, had some damn self-control over buying snacks when grocery
shopping, and I planned my meals; makes me feel even worse for having ‘no
motivation’ because, I know very well that I can do it, I did it before, I can
certainly do it again! And while I’m on the subject of motivation, this whole
post is about pretty much just that; actually doing something, instead of
thinking about it. I will go for a walk, doesn’t matter how I try and talk
myself out of it; I will do a blog post every day, even if I think I have
nothing to write about, someone out there might find it interesting. And of
yes, I will read books, they were always fun when I was a teenager, why now do
I find scrolling through the same posts on facebook everyday fun, or on
twitter, or Instagram? Every time I think about how often I do that, I kinda
feel sick.
So I’m not going to think about all the amazing things I can
be doing, I’m going to do them. Starting with this post, and starting with A
fifteen minute work each day, Monday to Friday. And no more snack foods, cause
really, does anyone feel amazing after eating a whole tube of Pringles
(guilty!)? No, I didn’t think so.
Hmm, I might even video what I eat each day, and the workout
I do. Scrap that.
I AM doing that!
Let’s follow each other, and encourage each human to be the
best they can be!
