Ok so I'm not exactly sure how blogging is meant to work and what people are meant to write about but I reckon I'll be alright just putting down what comes to mind.
Guess I'll start with is how this blog came about - Issues.
Yup issues. I have issues you have issues, heck even that guy who is your friends sisters brothers uncles mate has issues. I have plenty of different issues but right now my biggest issue is with my body. It's not just with the way it looks but also my health and my fitness (or do I mean my lack of fitness?? hmmm?)
I don't know how many times over the last five years I've promised to get fit or start eating healthy or start exercising and just haven't done it. I have had no long term motivation and really just couldn't be bothered working for what I wanted.
Now I don't know how many other people the following has ever happened to but I would like to share is a moment I recently had. That moment was catching a glimpse of my near naked self in the mirror and literally thinking "oh my god - am I really THAT fat?" I honestly don't know how I didn't see myself this way earlier?
I felt pretty shit and just sat there in the mirror staring and thought "I wish I was skinny". But right as I thought that I had another moment.... I thought "Yo, I don't want to be skinny I wana get fit!! This is my body and I can actually achieve this... I know I can I just have to work for it and find a way to keep myself motivated!!"
Hence this blog!!
I've decided to get fit, tone up, lose weight and become a healthier, happier version of me! My recipe for long term motivation and success is making sure I share my journey with other people. Not just my mum, dad, sisters and boyfriend but with my "friends" on facebook. The way I see it is if I commit to something and make sure everyone knows about it then I'm going to have to stick at it!!
The way I'm getting fit is through P90X
Right now I'm on day 4. Its been pretty hard and and my body is definately not used to working out. You know what though.. I'm LOVING it! I know its worth it. I went to work this morning with so much energy and such a happy positive attitude and it wasn't because of an energy drink or lollies - I was on a natural high from my work out! It's gona be tough but BRING IT ON!! My mantra is: "If it doesn't challenge you it doesn't change you!!"
I can't wait to keep sharing my thoughts but enough for tonight..
Well actually just one more thing: I have to tell the truth and say that another reason I decided to get fit was fear of a Zombie Apocalypse. IF (well more like when) there is a zombie apocalypse I want to be fit enough to be able to survive. I don't want to be that f***er that gets the whole group killed by not being able to keep up!!
