After months of putting my body through rigorous and exhausting exercise regimes my body finally gave up today! it said it was done with being punished.
It happened today right in the middle of the 2nd level of metamorphosis, i just collasped on the mat and sat there watching tracy doing the moves that i should be doing and with the body that i should have and it just hit me, that
1)this is NOT sustainable!
2)Perfection should NOT be a word because its almost impossible to attain and when you 'think' you have attained it, you spend the rest of your life driving yourself crazy just trying to maintain it! its like a freaking prison that we humans CHOOSE to go into!! like self mutilation or something.
I know what everyone will be thinking- she had it coming. Oh i definately did! and you know what? it's made me learn a lesson.
(light bulb point no. 3)
3) weightloss is not about punishing your body! its about loving your body as this really is the only one you've got.
Now dont get me wrong! i'm not giving up on my weight loss journey, i mean i have 30lbs still to go before i'm at a healthy bmi (talking about loving myself!)
I've just decided i need to change my ways: adjust my exercise regime to suit my body and my food habits to suit my lifestyle.
so here goes:
for the next 3 weeks......
1)i am giving up high impact aerobics! ek!!!!
2)My aerobics exercise will consist of only 40mins of power walking 4 times a week
3)i will tone only once a week and compliment that with yoga 2 times a week
4) i will eat small portions of healthy food 4 times a day
am i scared?!!! you bet your skinny bum i am! but its got to be done.
looking forward to the next 3 weeks and those numbers on the scales changing(in a good way ;-)
