Things I've learned about being healthy
•You hardly ever feel actually motivated, but you still go excersise •Self control on cheat days is hard as hell •calorie counting is bullshit- it’s carbs and fat content you gotta watch •"Low Calorie" doesn’t mean always mean “Healthy”, it often just means that it’s less of what you paid extra for •Farmers Markets are your best friend •Buying produce from regular grocery stores is often the worst decision you can make •Motivation often comes at night •sleeping for 8 hours from 11:30-6:30 is harder than sleeping from 1:30-8:30, it doesn’t mean you should •making time isn’t easy •food logs aren’t easy to remember •you will have days when you wanna give up, but you will still wake up and go excersise in the morning •Bad days are okay •Rest Days are mandatory •Most “Lose it fast just by eating these way overpriced meals that taste like garbage!” Diets don’t work •TRAIN YOUR LEGS BEFORE DOING 100 SQUATS IN ONE DAY SERIOUSLY DON’T JUST THINK YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT AND PREP BECAUSE YOU CAN’T •You will often feel “Ugh” as an emotion •it takes 1 day to ruin your routine and it takes (what seems like) 50 to get it back on track • find healthy versions of food you already like is your best go too, because you can only eat food that isn’t fulfilling for so long before you binge •having an occasional binge is okay •skipping meals is the worst thing you can do to yourself while excersising •it’s okay and perfectly legal, but frowned upon to say “fuck” while trying a new routine that your body isn’t used too •Slight burning of muscles: Okay. Muscle aches, spasms, sharp-shooting pains: stop and call your doctor •fitspo isn’t easy to make if you dont want to be repetitive •"thinspo" will make you feel hungry- Stick to quotes •vegetables are better than fruits • you can add any sweet fruit to black tea and it’ll taste great •Splenda •Lots of Splenda •music is important •if you find it hard to run outside then invest in a treadmill (yardsale ones are cheap and normally work) •interval runs •can’t find/afford weights? Save plastic milk jugs, put water in them, after they start seeming light, freeze them. •Running buddies are great •Change your routine •change your running route •wash your workout clothed everyday •even if you just did a five minute interval run and nothing more •showering is important •if you get harassed at a public gym, don’t be scared to report it to the staff. That’s one of the reasons they’re there. •if the gym staff won’t help: show the bitch you’re stronger than they are and break their face •don’t think you can immediatley run on hiking trails •biking is more fun than running and uses your leg muscles more
