Let It Go
I feel so fat lately.
I look at this photo of my on the Feet Up Trainer yesterday and think "OMG my belly looks fat".Why am I feeling this way? Because I've been unwell off and on for a couple of months and I've gained a few pounds recently.
But...
Then I was reading this book late yesterday afternoon:
And it put things back into perspective. It wasn't any specific words but just a general feeling exuded by the content.
So I decided to review my deeper thinking and progress this year:
- I am proud of my 2021 progress
- I became a certified yoga teacher
- I became a certified meditation teacher
- I left a toxic job because I deserve better
- I've slowed down and meditated more
- I work less and be still more
So I'll probably always have chronic health conditions that make consistency with my health and fitness regimen difficult. But... Despite feeling lethargic I did 30 mins of yoga yesterday and 20 mins Tuesday. In the past few years if I felt this bad I'd have curled up on the sofa and watched Netflix.
Progress is progress and a step backwards is okay as long as you keep your eye on the prize! Keep trying, keep doing whatever small things you can to drive momentum forward.
I'm not fat.
I am listening to my body.
I can set a new goal/s to address my mindset.
Priority:
- review dietary intake (less comfort food & better nutrition)
Goals are empowering.
