I am still an amateur at this fitness and healthy food stuff. But if I can be sure of one thing it is this: I decided to do it and I am doing it. I am closer to my goal every day.
I started last summer, when I realised that taking walks with my dogs and training agility is not enough. I was still uncomfortable in my own body and it was about time to do something about it. So I found the Insanity program and I was hooked. I decided that I was going to do it no matter the struggle. Every time I pushed play and did it I felt sooo proud. Even though I thought I was going to throw up because I was so tired, I did't quit. And no matter how many times I fell on the floor thinking that I can't do it, that I'm too tired, I got back up and I finished the set at my max. I was devoted to do it and I did it. Results did not come as fast as I hoped, because I decided I was not going to have a diet. I was not ready to change my eating habits. And that was the right thing to do. Why? If I would force myself into doing something I was not ready to do, I would fail before I even started.
Thank god for the internet, because without it I could never find as many useful information basically for free. At the beginning there are so many information and you cannot follow them. But then you find a way of eating that makes you feel satisfied, happy and you are not hungry all day long. This is the most important thing! You must never be hungry, you should eat 5 times a day, control your portion sizes and eat HEALTHY. Dieting and eating healthy are two totally different things. If you want a great body, if you want to feel good, that should be your lifestyle, that should be what YOU want. Only then you can succeed. It is hard enough as it is and if you are not 1000% in, it will only be harder.
'' Working out is hard, eating healthy is hard, being overweight is hard. Which hard will you choose?''
After my vacation in Greece I was ready. I started with two months of Turbo Jam and the same day I started to watch what I'm eating. 5 meals a day, more vegetables & fruit, smaller portions, WATER. In my opinion, you have to start slowly. After a while you don't even need to eat that candy or biscuit. You are not hungry and you don't want it. I measured and weighed myself the first day of Turbo Jam and was determined to do it again ONLY at the end. I was sooooo happy, because the results were fantastic!
'' I will win, not immediately, but defenitely.''
That is what keeps you going you know. To see progress, even if it's slow. So now I'm doing 5 months of Turbo Fire. My arms and legs are stronger than ever, I can do more push ups than ever, I can run faster and I can't wait to see what else I can do!
