It's always the firsts that we can't beat. The firsts that we are hesitant to try. And the firsts that always stay in our mind that we cannot forget. Anyway, I'm writing this blog to share my first in working out.
Today marks my first week of working out. To be honest I was feeling lazy to set up my yoga mat and stretch but I still managed to work out. And yes! I beat my one-week curse. I've always wanted to have a healthy toned body with abs showing and large pectoral muscles but I always end up feeling lazy and demotivated in the middle of working out.
I am so glad that it has been a week since I started working out again. I may have body aches after working out but it will always be fulfilling because I am doing this for myself and my dream for my body --- toned body with abs showing.
You know, we should achieve the dreams that we want in life especially when it is possible. Because it is is only us that can make it happen.
In this one week of working out, I allowed myself to heal, and working out has been a big part of it. I treated working out as a coping mechanism that helped me to get out of bed even in the coziest "bedweather". Breaking my one week cursed of working out means that I can continue my progress for the second week and break the second-week barrier.
Step-by-step I will regain control of my life and how my body works. And while I'm writing this and sitting on my yoga mat, I realized that it's not always mind over body, sometimes it's also body over mind. Why? After doing all the drills and exercises, it is refreshing to my mind and body.
I didn't put check marks on the days that are my active rest days. I eat as much as I want during my active rest days because it's a way of treating myself and one or two days of eating what I want wouldn't ruin what I've been working on.
Do not be too harsh on yourself in your workout journey. Do not deprive yourself of the food that you want to eat. You can't get fat in one day of eating your favorite foods.
Being missing in action for about a week now, I allowed myself to heal. I take small steps in thriving every day and continuously Testing The Waters. I have high hopes for this hobby of mine that it will eventually get me back to the way I was and get back on track for my focus on studying and writing articles and blogs.
