I'm not getting on the scale anymore.
I used to weigh myself every single day - well, every day that I worked - and that stupid number had the power to make or break my day.
I haven't run in about three weeks, first because I didn't have time in the days leading up to my trip, then because I was gone, and now because I've been sick since I came home. I miss it, though, and I'm hoping to get started again next week. And I'm going to restart the 100 Pushups Challenge - and stick with it - as well as the 150 Dips. And I'd like to find time to do Pilates again, maybe once or twice a week.
And I want to start eating more fruits and veggies, because they make me feel good. And the more good stuff I have in my tummy, the less room I'll have for chips and fries and bacon cheeseburgers and pepperoni pizza and chicken nuggets. But I'll still eat those things too, because I like them.
I know that doing these things will affect that number on the scale. But that's not why I want to do them. Nor is it about how my body looks or what size clothes I wear - another arbitrary and useless number! I'll be doing it for the way it makes me feel. Doing it so I become capable of things I'm not capable of right now. So I feel good and well and fit and healthy.
But I'm not a slave to numbers anymore.
CAAAAT! This is skittles... I havent figured out how to use this site yet so I'm posting anonomous...
ReplyDeleteI used to be able to do SOOO many pushups! I did dip[s for FUN on my chair when playing video games.
Then I got this moving job... and its a fucking workout every day... but you have no choice but to eat cheeseburgers every day since thats all there is to eat... and although you'd think it would be a good workout, its really not. You carry one thing, then walk back to carry another thing... boring and stoopid. Hard work, but not cardio or severely heavy lifting. Just enough to wear you out over a long time so when you get home there is no way you're going to go out for a run anymore.
Really annoying... I need a job with a schedule so I can start exorcizing regularly again.
I know what you mean... back when I ran 5 miles a day I could do free running shit... I wasnt great at it, but I could doi it. SO fun. I want to be ablke to do that stuff again,. i want my sexy back =D
