Mental struggle is the hardest part in the fitness journey. Take it a day at a time



I just can’t bring myself to believe how much food I consume now. I am eating twice as much as I did before. I used to eat only what I need to function, limit my carb intake, didn’t eat starchy carbs past my lunch and sometimes avoided fruits because of the sugar. This pass few days, I still can’t believe I walk right by the cardio machines and go to the gym to do only weights.
Cardio and I were buddies (still love though). I use to do cardio daily and never took days off even when I was sick, YEAH!!!! I don’t think my mind was healthy. I was obsessed with getting as lean as possible.  My relationship with food was messed up and I had no balance, none at all.  Just because you have a six pack, reach your ideal weight or look leaner than ever DOESN’T mean you are healthy or happy for that matter. Soo sooo Proud of my progress, I now have a balance.
I listen to my body and take my rest days. I eat to fuel my body and still enjoy treats. (Gluten free Ice cream…hehehehhe). I do the minimum amount of cardio I can and focus on lifting in the weight room. My body is changing and I am seeing gains and feel more solid and strong each and every day. I think back at all those bananas I didn’t eat because of the fructose and low carb meals I gaggled down each night and hours spent on the tread mill and elliptical, staring at the clock every time and sometime throwing a towel over the time so I don’t have to be aware of how more minute of torture I had left. I thank God I am no longer living like that way.
