Ok another setback, but we are allowed to have those, right? I hope so cause I've had quite a few of them. But here I am and I haven't given up. I started working out again about four weeks ago at my work fitness center after my shift in the evenings before I go home. I have been doing this on the days I work and taking my two days off from work as my rest days, or I use my free weights at home on my days off and do other workouts that require using the machines.
My eating habits have improved, but still need some tweeking, but baby steps, right. I do not eat any fast food, and try not to eat any or too much processed foods. I drink a lot of water, and I am started only drinking alcohol on my days off, not on the nights I come home from work. I usually do not drink any soda, but on occasion at work I will drink a half of an 8oz soda and usually do not finish it, and on occasion mix some with a liquor a home or when I go out to eat.
Motivation has been against me, but this time I will beat it and overcome my setbacks and gain it control once again.
Anyone can overcome an obstacle, and can gain motivation to do something they need to do, "I can do this" just repeat this to yourself over and over until you don't have to anymore. Having friends and family to support you and even workout with is a great help as well. They don't even have to be in the same state, just give each other praise and keep each other motivated via texts, email, facebook. Just to be healthy and live longer without illness and other ailments is a plus and more of a reason to workout, and/or eat healthy.
This is what I am striving for, to be better than I was here in 2009. I was fit and beginning to get the muscles and 6-pack abs as we all want, but think we can't have.
We can have and do anything we set our minds and bodies to, motivation and focus is key; then everything else will fall into place.
