A time to struggle

| | Comments (238)

I know it's been a long time since I last posted. Which no one should assume it would only mean that I've kept myself healthy, completely the opposite actually. I'm afraid to update my stats just for the fact that I would have to come to grips about how much damage I've let upon my body.
Since the last time I posted, I have gained and lost weight like some yoyo, but ultimately gaining more than loosing. I've been on various diets and not sticking to one for a long enough period to see if it actually works. I've been on two separate diet pills, one brand in particular hospitalizing me for most of a weekend. Completely became out of touch with a stable exercise routine, mainly due to lack of motivation and tiredness. Probably worst of all in the time since I last posted was having a doctor declaring that if I don't lose some weight soon I could have serious ovary issues, after that moment I really wanted to start throwing up everything I ate.
Thankfully, I'm not in that part of my life and at the moment I do have a fairly good exercise routine, mainly walking the dogs for an hour in the morning, attempting the gym before work and some dancing exercises which embarrassingly enough is something my mum and I ordered off some info-merical on T.V.
I'm eating well but probably not the sort of foods I would like to stick to. It's hard to stick to a diet when everyone in the whole house is eating something else, but this time round it should be okay, there is an extended family living with us so my mum can eat as much rice as she likes with them *sigh*.
Though a part of me feels like it's just not enough to be content with how things are at the moment. I know if I really want to get fit and healthy I really need to work harder than that. I know the only way things will cater good results is if I am struggling. When I know what I'm doing is hard work but completely worth it. So what I'm proposing to myself is to try to make a schedule/routine with everything I need done. Put in place organized times for exercise, specific meals, sleep, time to myself and time for work. I'd have to be very strict to stick with it, but fair in the content. So that's my project for the next week. Hopefully I'll have it done before the week ends, I'll even post it so you can see that I actually did one up.
I should re-evaluate my goals too. One major goal would be try more active hobbies so that it would be much easier to keep fit. Here's to struggling...
