You know that feeling when life slows down and you take a moment to realize where you’re at in regards to where you were previously? Have you ever had that feeling like, “dang, if I would have started X when I initially thought about it I would have achieved Y by now,” have you ever felt that? I feel have felt this way many times.
WHAT I WISH I KNEW A YEAR AGO ABOUT NUTRITION + FITNESS:
What I wish I knew a year ago in regards to nutrition:
-Food is fuel, not a support system
-Protein builds muscle which burns fat
-Carbs are your friend as long as they are high in fiber, vitamins, nutrients (i.e. fruits and veggies)
-Healthy fats are necessary, but can be overdone
-Elimination patterns are something to be mindful of
-Be aware of the calories your drinking—they matter too
-Alcohol, no matter how much, is completely unnecessary
-Eating mindfully (no screens/distractions) is important
-Bloating means something’s not right and should be investigated
-Starvation and restriction will only push you farther away
-Macros, intuitive, mindful, plant based, whatever...do what works for you—what makes you happy and has you stressing the least about your meals
-Finding what works best for you may take some trial and error time, but use that to build your knowledge of self awareness and blueprint of your body
-Take the time to get to know yourself inside and out
What I wish I started a year ago in regards to fitness:
-Consistency and dedication are the keys to success
-Creating healthy habits for life is the primary goal
-Manifesting your dreams actually works
-Running alone won’t get you a toned body
-Stress and obsession moves you in the wrong direction
-Lifting weights won’t make you a mini hulk
-Building muscle makes you toned and burns fat
-Stretching/slow controlled movements are your best friend
-Heavy sweat sessions are basically stress sessions on your body (look up side effects of stress)
-Sweating a ton doesn’t mean your working out ‘better’ or ‘harder’
-Sleep/rest is more important than exercise
My fitness journey started with this exact feeling I just described. So one morning I woke up and instead of feeling sad or discouraged that I hadn’t achieved what I hoped by that time in my life: I just ACTED.
I did something that would help me achieve my goals: I found a mentor I could rely on—someone who cared about me, took interest in my goals, and I was able to trust as a supporter. Then with their guidance I made a plan, I stuck to it, created healthy habits, and 3 months from the day I acted I looked up and realized I achieved what I initially wished I achieved years ago.
