Hey guys, it has been a long time!!! I have been so
preoccupied with so many other things that I neglected my blog. It amazing the
amount of people that actually asked me why have I stopped blogging. Hmm… well…
it did make me happy… *wiggles*
NOW!!!!!!!
OK, I’m embarking on a quest.. yes, a quest… well a fitness
one. It is long overdue and I keep putting it off but each day I realise how
much I neglect my health.
Sob Story
Recently I have been noticing how unfit I have become; little
jogs here and there, climbing up several stairs, aftermath would feel like a
rhino is sitting on my chest. *Exaggeration* But you get the drift! Sometimes I
feel as though my diaphragm is about to explode that is how bad things are! Let’s
not even talk about food; I eat everything and anything all the time. I only hate broccoli, Brussels sprouts,
cabbage and cauliflower but everything else I would feast on. (The vegetarians
amongst you must be thinking I’m insane). I struggle to monitor what I eat
especially since I have a fast metabolism. I snack all the time. There are
always biscuits, sweets, mini edible surprises in my bag. *hangs head in shame* When I sought for medical
advice concerning how to stabilize my metabolism, I was told I must eat 6 meals
a day.
6 MEALS A DAY
REALLY?
Ridiculous right? Yep!
Essentially, I get hungry really quickly; my body just
digests food really quickly. So the downside to that now is if I don’t eat
large quantities or if I skip meals, I lose weight really quickly. Then I have
a tough time putting that weight on.
MYTH- BECAUSE you’re slim people automatically think that you’re
healthy and fit and you sleep, bathe and live in some fitness centre in some
unknown village. Truth is a lot of the slimmest people are the unhealthiest… *don’t
quote me* this is just from what I have noticed unless they are intentionally
choosing to eat healthy to sustain a particular weight or size.
In my teens I did dance, gymnastics and so many sports
especially because I attending a sports college secondary school. We often
traded much of our lunch time breaks to train for athletics. After school
netball sessions, not forgetting how the head of P.E would force us into the
gym. Sometimes even get into school early for a little session at the gym.
*flashback* I even captained the netball team at one point! *laughs at myself* ….
It all feels like centuries ago…….
Even when I was younger, growing up with an older brother
and surrounded by all my male cousins, we would play wrestling; royal rumble,
wrestlemania in the house. I was the smallest and the only girl, I would
convince myself I was the Ultimate Warrior but then I would be getting tossed
all over the place, and pinned, I would
cry and then when the pain stops join in again! Great times!
At college I continued with netball, but from the age of 18 until
now it has been my most unfit years!
So I am undergoing a personal journey to purely get fit!!
More healthy food fruits and vegs, more exercising more of the good things!!
Well I want to invite you to my journey; I will try to post
as much as possible to measure my progress. Maybe you have been procrastinating
as well this might help. You might just want to lose weight, or just your belly
or get all henched…muscular.. cut…chiselled maybe some abs whatever words you
want to use. JUST GET UP AND GIVE IT A TRY!!
If you have any tips
for me send them my way, IM OPEN FOR SUGGESTIONS!
Just to add, do not think I’m starting off with 60k runs or 7days
a week gym sessions.. *haahaa that’s a myth* I HAVE A LIFE… *IMAGINE* With the
small small stamina I have…hmmm
BABY STEPS! I’m starting out small, working on my schedule
and mental preparation.
Then 1ST of March… it all begins!!
