Blogging

I have been neglecting my blog. For a long time. After my meltdown and later my epiphany, Ive decided to concentrate on my blog. I have a private journal that I write in but I think that writing my blog might help someone else having the same problems or thoughts. Im not alone in my battle for fitness. I lose motivation all the time. I just never say anything. Its time to say something.

Meltdown.

Today I had a meltdown today. A fitfam meltdown. A workout meltdown. I wanted to give up. I did give up. I actually decided to stop my workouts today. And forever. I didnt want to run. I didn’t want to push play. No weights. No Chalene. No Shaun T. No more Tony. I was officially giving up. I was tired of being tired. Tired of being sore. Tired of being on this STUPID plateau. A plateau I thought I had broken. I was working so hard and focusing on getting all those workouts in every day. It was becoming an obsession. It was an obsession. My Tumblr (CoachUSMCdaffy) is FULL of fitness pics, food, ANYTHING with fitness and I would go on there and look at so many pics. For hours..... I had to be at a certain weight. By a certain time.

Well that time is next week and Im not where I want to be with my fitness/weight. So I melted down. I sent my friend GR a cryptic message. He gave me his best pep talk. He’s got good ones. Not too pushy by not allowing to wallow in my pity party. And oh, the pity party was going hard core this afternoon. 

And I realized something. All that time invested into working out.... The running, the T25, the weights, challenges, etc. Everything I was cramming into my day. I forgot the MOST important thing. I was NOT having fun. The most important thing for me and my workouts was that I enjoyed them. It’s the key element. If you aren’t having fun than you wont take the time to do your workouts, well in my case the fun was the most enjoyable part. 

So today. I did a fun workout. I did Les Mills Combat. I got my workout clothes on, my Nike Shox, and my Fitbit and enjoyed myself.
