Fitness Is a lifestyle not a Destination

Lets get down to it,



Great results and a great physic is a lifestyle not a destination, It took me a while to actually fully realize this but being fit and looking great comes from dedication and patience. If you want to look like a fitness model you see on youtube you are not going to look like that ever because you are just temporarily dieting and working out to look that way. Now why in the world would you put your self and your body through all that if you dont want to maintain it long term ? exactly. So eating healthy and working out is not done so you JUST get results. Its done because its a lifestyle and your number one goal should be gaining strength, endurance and progression from your Workouts while you derive energy, overall well being, stable moods and decepline and control over your food intake. Now i am not leaving out the results of all this. Believe me its what keeps me and many of you motivated . Seeing that new toned arm and flat stomach keeps you motivated and proud. But the most important thing to realize it that you have to take it slow. First do your reasearch and second dont starve yourself and please make sure your workouts are intesne but not to point where you are blacking out!. So this is probably the most important thing i have learned when it comes to fitness and getting healthy is to be PATIENT> dont let what you see in the mirror dictate how you feel about yourself. Anything is posibile. A great diet that supports your well being and results, and a workout plan that keeps you challenged, strong , alive and feeling great ! :)

Bottom line-

1. Patience- If you keep staring at your body 24/7 looking for magical results you are going to be let down. again eating healthy and working out is done because its a good thing to do for your happiness and your health. the Results are secondary. As weird as this sounds believe me just simply chasing after results and results only will lead to failure and dissapontment. Its better to take it slow , engoy the process, do your reaserch ...learn and transform your diet and workout each and everyday. Something is better than nothing :)
2. Positivity- Dont beat yourself down syaing look how bad i look , this will never change, this weight is soo hard to come off, its too hard balh balhblah. This kind of talk will never get you anywhere. you need to realize and accept where you are and know that change is posibile. Get the idea of being healthy as painful and boring. It doesnt have to be! Build yourself up. tell yourself its okey to be where you are. Afterall there are people who were in your shoes 10 time worse yet they have overcome the battle of being overweight and unhappy. Take a good look in the mirror and inbrace whats important. Yeah the media and many things can lead you astray but theres nothing like the good old mind set of positivity.
