5 steps to a healthier you
5 Steps to a healthier you
It's not a mystery on how to live a healthier lifestyle, people make it seem like "Ohhh I don't know how to do it, I'm not a gym rat, or the biggest lie is, I don't have time"
Yes, I hear it all the time, especially the one about "Oh it must be nice that you're in shape^ Hello! I work out 5 days a week, it's not "nice" it's commitment. So today I will unlock all the secrets of a healthier you.
Step 1:
Get up and do something! Anything!
Yes, I get it you don't have time, but somehow in the morning you can tell me about the five new TV shows you watched, equaling up to 5 hours?
But yet you don't have an 1/2 to exercise? Really? I was a night child but not last night's child! If you really want it you would be doing it. Especially now when you all have all this free time on your hand, you really have no excuse.
So to recap step 1... Do something!
Step 2:
Change your attitude
Yes, to become a healthier you, you need to change your attitude. Stop saying I can't run, I can't go to the gym, I am to heavy, too old, I have a bad back, bad knees, my ass hurts
Or the latest... boo hoo, the gyms are closed...whatever your bullshit excuse is, fill in the blanks here... I've heard it all.
If you read my blog you know that I've worked out with a broken arm, broken leg, broken toe, carpal tunnel, hurt shoulder, even a fucked up foot (For those of you who've been with me from the beginning, you'll know this reference)
You name it and I worked out with it while I was hurt. You just change and you modify until you get stronger.
Even without the gyms being open now, I am doing classes I find on YouTube, I am outside walking or riding my bike, there is no excuse, period.
Step 3:
Mind over matter
This step is the most crucial as your brain tells you what you can and can not do, if you think you can do it, you will!
My favorite reference to this is a YouTube video about 2 marathon runners who collapsed right before they get to the finish line. Their legs were like jello, and it seemed like they had no control over them.
They tried to get up only to fall over and over but they were so determined to finish that they decided to crawl to the finish line. Yes, their bodies said they couldn't do it but their minds said oh yes, you can! And they did, this is determination.
Step 4:
Start to eat right
I was a Pepsi addict, I drank two, 2 liters a day! Yes, you read that right two, 2 liters. I ate junk, I never ate veggies, unless it came with my bloody Mary. Hey, I thought that counted. The only fruit I ate was orange juice, to take my aspirins with for my hangovers.
When I became clean and I stopped drinking, I cut my soda to one can a day, then to 5 cans a week, then to 3 and now I will have a can on the weekends occasionally, but even still if you bring a 2 liter in my house today, it's over. I started to change my eating habits little by little. Now I eat healthy 95% of the time because I chose this lifestyle.
Step 5
Know your limits
Don't buy Oreos if they are your weakness, buy a small pack so you can start to have control. Start small, I know I can no longer buy a liter of soda because I will drink it all, that's why I buy cans. I also started eating salads, I hated them but kept trying new things in them.
I stopped going to the drive through, I made my lunch and brought it to work. Was it easy? Oh hell no. Did it didn't come overnight? Again the answer is no but it has been so worth it. I feel better, I look better, my attitude is better all because I made the commitment to change my lifestyle.
Listen if you want sugar coating read someone else's blog. How many times have I told you, I'm not Willy Wonker, I don't sugar coat shit,
No, of course it's not easy, if it was everyone would look like a Sports Illiterate model, let's get real here! But I am here to tell you nothing feels as good as when you accomplished something you set your mind to, when you know that you did it!
When I crossed the finish line in the triathlon I did (Yes, I know it was a wuzzy one but it was still one) I was so proud! Me, the person who was afraid and sucked at swimming, who hated to run, was crossing the finish line of something I never dreamed I could do, let alone finish in 3rd place in my age group! The feeling was beyond words!
So that's it folks, 5 easy steps to change your life and become healthier, yup that's it! Surprised huh?
Yeah so was I. I know you're lying, there has to be more, I hear you saying it, but nope, this is the "big secret" Yes, this is it, get up, move, do something, find something you enjoy, bike riding, Yoga, Zumba, running, even walking, whatever just get moving.
Then change your attitude, get rid of negative people, say yes you can and you will. Start to change your eating habits, cut off fast foods, eat healthier. Know your triggers and cut them out, it's all so very simple if you really want it.
So today my friends, I am sorry to bust your bubble, but that's it! So change your life, start today, it's never too late. 5 small steps to a better life and then you can….
