So many people struggle with body image issues, low self-esteem, and eating disorders. Remember to love yourself today first before expressing your love to others. You are beautiful, loved, and valuable even if you don't quite see it yet.- Who said that? Oh that's right, I did!
Today in class I said that my hobby right now is going to the gym and I really meant it. It didn't sound foreign in my head, it sounded honest. After class a friend/classmate of mine, asked me when I work out, looking for a buddy. That was really great because I consider her to be really beautiful and fit. I know that most people feel like they don't work out enough but it was nice to hear support from someone who I admire. She was really kind and encouraging about it. Maybe we'll work out together sometime. Myriam and I had talked about going to the gym together every Tuesday but being valentine's day, she went home early to be with her hubby. Paul seemed a little upset that I was going to be home late again tonight but he didn't say anything. I have to remember to thank him again for being so supportive.
Today I watched an episode of ”I used to be fat” on MTV. The episode was really inspiring and made me cry. I just keep reminding myself that I am the only one that can get in my way right now, and past Alisha is gone. Future Alisha is finally finding her place and her voice.
Today I fought a little bit with myself about whether or not to do 30 mins of cardio. Stefanie wrote that I had to do between 25 and 30 mins. around the 16 min mark, I was thinking that I would just stop at 25 because it was pretty difficult. By the time I got to 22 mins it somehow got easier. I mentally and physically pushed myself to that 30 min mark. THEN I timed myself on my planks and I held each one for at least 30 seconds! This was huge since just Saturday I was barely able to do 20 seconds!
Overall a great work out and I'm really proud of myself. I texted Stefanie and got a virtual high five. Now I'm off to spend a wonderful night with my hunny. We're going to make pistachio crusted red snapper and veggies fitter dinner.
Today was a great day
