Three weeks ago a new year began. A journey towards redefining the way you take care of yourself also began. You decided that your old eating habits were getting the best of you, and that maybe you could use a little kick-start to get to where you see yourself ideally; both physically and mentally.
Week three may or may not seem like a breeze compared to the self doubts and starvation you experienced in weeks one and two.
In week three, you've settled into your healthier new routine and began tweaking whatever hasn't been working for you. By now, if you haven't already realized, you're capable of much more than you realize, once you've put your mind to it.
In the coming weeks ahead, as you continue your efforts towards a newer, healthier lifestyle, you will discover a lot of personal learning and growth opportunities. Some things you might notice will make more sense now that you are paying special attention to this part of your life.
Food Labels
You may suddenly realize why you always felt like crap after eating those Special K bars. It's starting to make more sense now that you've taken the time to make now of how much sugar and gluten is in it, despite the "healthy" appeal.
Gym Routine
Your gym routine doesn't feel like such a chore. You will still have your "off" days where you are dragging your feet to get there, but once you get there you realize how beneficial it has been in just the course of three weeks. Keep it up. Be sure to mix your routine up, trick your muscles every now and again. When you go to the gym day after day, practicing the same workout routine will inevitably get old fast.
Mind over Matter- Be a Gladiator!
Above all, being healthy is more a mental process than anything. You have to have the motivation to do it, and the will-power to follow through with it. You have to always be willing to keep an open mind and challenge yourself. You're always going to have a day or two here and there where you don't feel like you're making any progress, or maybe feel like you aren't capable of doing something. When that little demon in your head chimes in: fight back. Unleash the same gladiator who motivated you to start being a better person to begin with.
A gladiator inspires admiration and popular recognition.
I guarantee your efforts will do the same if you persist with the attitude your started this journey with.
