How I got 'truly' started with working out would be finally reaching my breaking point. Realizing that my 'dream body' didn't have to be some long distant dream; but that if I finally stopped dreaming and started working..I could have that body in no time. I for a long time was not happy with my body; with the way clothes fit (aka..did not fit); with how I looked in the mirror; and with how low my energy level was - I literally wanted to sleep all the time because I was constantly tired. I felt lost and didn't know what to do to get where I wanted. So many different sites and articles that contradicted each other. Finally my co-worker told me about BodyBuilding.com. I checked it out; choose a personalized workout plan, began learning about nutrition and fitness, adn finally today I'm a little fitness junkie..and a little healthy food freak..and it feels Amazing.!!!
Today I can't help but want to start this off with...."What is there NOT to love working out?" Literally..I have the best feeling than I could have ever imagined. I now eat so much healthier than ever before...But to me..It's not 'dieting'. I feel when someone thinks they are on a 'diet' they look at the cons. They focus on "I can't eat this..can't eat that..." and with that type of a mindset, eating healthy will become difficult and a nuisance. For me; however, I am not dieting...I am eating healthy. I honestly crave healthier food. I see my friends wondering why their bodies look a certain way while eating highly processed, non-nutritional food. I think of the lack of any nutrients these foods offer, and am automatically turned away. Yet, I think of healthy fresh food adn vegetables and get happy and excited. And with smaller, more frequent meals..I am never "hungry" like I used to be...every 2 - 3 hours happens even before I know it.
In reference to working out; I see the results. I have only worked out for a few days in a couple of weeks, yet my body shows changes I only dreamed of. I can honestly see my 'sexy' body showing through, and knowing that I am leading myself down a great new life filled with healthy choices and a body that I will admire each day in the mirror; how can I not just absolutely love working out...
