My diet has been poor, I am emotionally stressed out, I don't exercise and now with the winter fast approaching I rarely leave my warm bed unless to watch television or work.
Today I found some clarity. I had a surge of motivation. I can't be like this anymore.
I have to start focusing on things I can control in my life. I can control my own actions and day to day choices. Sure bills, work, relationships and other normal life stresses will always be there, but I can't let them take over my life.
Photography, blogging, shopping, cooking and plain just getting ready with hair, make up and a cute outfit use to be daily things for me. Having hobbies felt good.
At some point you have to be selfish and put yourself first. My bad attitude was a burden to those around me and I could start to notice.
So today I took control of a few things that i could.
I went to the gym.
I cooked myself a nice dinner.
I painted my nails.
I am blogging.
I may have only done 15 minutes of cardio and a short ab work out, then I hit the pool and floated aimlessly around. After relaxing myself in the pool, I sat in the hot tub and then the sauna. That is what i needed.
Easing back into a workout routine is not easy, and I feel like I have a lot mental struggles right now, so i was not in the mood to be pumping weights or doing cardio until i couldn't breathe.
Just allowing myself to do what my body wanted and finding peace of mind that knowing where I am at in life is ok.
