Get Fit

On a journey to be the best me possible.

Right so I haven’t been tracking my calories because idk life? But I decided yesterday to start again. Yeah I “failed” at keeping consistent last time and continuing to track my calories but hey you only need it to stick once for it to become a habit right? So I’m going to keep trying. Going to keep coming back after “failing”.

On another note, I’ve been pretty good about sticking to my running plan so I’m very proud of myself for that. This is the third week of it and I’m also feeling good while running which is most important to me after last year when I was in so much pain after doing any sort of run.

One thing I’ve found that helps me to run even when it’s the last thing I want to do is to tell myself I can stop as much as I want, I can walk, I can go as slow as I want but I have to get the miles I have planned for that day done. This goes for working out as well. I tell myself I can stop between reps, take longer rests, go slow but I have to try to get it all done.

An imperfect run/workout is better than no run/workout.

Sometimes you fall off the wagon for months. Sometimes you tell yourself you’re gonna start fresh on Monday and by Wednesday you’ve already fallen back off. Sometimes you have to restart a 100 times and it’s frustrating. But it will be okay. You can do this. One day at a time

You’re healing every time you

get out of bed because there’s something you’re excited about.

don’t think about people who left.

clean the clutter in the room and dishes in your sink.

smile at yourself and random people.

do something kind and out of the blue to make someone happy.

work out or meet with friends even though you have no energy to.

calm yourself down when your thoughts race.

remember to drink water.

don’t dwell on things you can’t control.

do things good for yourself, even though you have no motivation.

tell yourself that you’re growing from this, and you won’t feel like this forever.

How have I never tried cashew butter before?? Omg I made it the other week adding in some honey and cinnamon. It’s like crack. I made more last night and I swear I could have eaten all of it 😍. Next up I want to try making cashew milk

I did NOT go through all the shit that I went through just to give up now! I did NOT fight my own demons for YEARS just to let them win today! They do NOT get to have that power over me!

no one knows what you’re going through. only you know. so don’t use broad labels other people would use on you to describe yourself or your behaviour. don’t call yourself a bad friend when you know you haven’t had energy lately. don’t call yourself a bad or unworthy person if you know you’re been trying to heal but made some mistakes in the process. don’t call yourself dumb because you’re struggling on understanding a topic you’ve never touched before. don’t say you’re unlovable when you know you get attached quickly to people who are wrong for you and then they inevitably leave. don’t give judgement on yourself without trying to understand your own perspective. trying to understand yourself and being empathetic towards yourself is what will help you become a better person. step into your own shoes rather than see yourself from the perspective of others.
