Hello Earthbugs,
This is a quick update on a new thing I'm trying, it's this whole fitness kind of thing. I'm not promising this is going to be the start of regular updating but I am getting there and trust me, you'll know when I am back for good (I hope you all started humming the whole "I want you back for good" lyrics from good ol' Take That). But for now here we go.
Okay so I'm on this mission to get a bit fitter and feel a little bit more confident. I am a big believer in that everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin and fully believe that in order to have a "bikini body" you simply put a bikini on and there you go. I love seeing it when people are confident in their skin and it inspires me to comfortable in my own. But the truth is, I'm far from confident in my own skin. I look in the mirror and there are so many things I wish I could change and I feel like such a fraud because I encourage others to be confident in their own skin and I can't do it with my own.
For my age as well I'd say I'm pretty unfit, it's a bit of a standing joke that I can walk to the bus stop just up the street and be so out of breath. I laugh about it. But I don't like it. I just think I'm lazy and get into this pit of "ah, why am I like this?".
I can tell you why. I'm lazy. I can do my uni work, albeit with a few procrastination breaks, no problem. I can do creative projects, no problem. I can write a blog, no problem. I can cook something new, no problem. But can I look in the mirror and say "okay, you don't like what you see? Let's do something about it"? No, because I ignore it and hope it goes away. But it does not.
For me, this is a very personal post and you may look at me and think "well you aren't exactly overweight so stop being dramatic", and that's okay you can think that. But to me it is a big deal and has been a personal battle of mine for a long time so I'm going to conquer it. I'm posting this because I like to use my blog as some sort if reflective feature for me personally so hi future me. I also thought that maybe just maybe there may be someone somewhere who would like to join in with this little journey and maybe I can encourage someone somewhere.
In the long run this will be beneficial because of all the health benefits that come from exercising and eating well but I'm not some sort of health guru and haven't scrolled through Pinterest enough to have a vague idea so let's focus on the not too distant future. I'd like to be a bit fitter, I'm not aiming for a marathon but potentially a jog where I don't feel like I require oxygen on return. I'd like to look better and healthier. I'd also like to not feel the need to have chocolate/cake/anything incredibly unhealthy at all points of the day, obviously I'm not going to cut it all out because I have far too much of a sweet tooth for that but baby steps. Also, if anyone has any healthy recipes that they'd be willing to share for me to try out then go ahead and I'll accept them willingly.
So, to anyone who feels a bit like a sack of potatoes like myself... we've got this!
Until next time,
