I started keeping a food log. Something my former, fit self used to do. And I started planning out my workouts in advance...also a habit I used to have. I figure, I used to believe in myself and my ability to have the body I wanted and to be in great shape...somewhere, somehow, I let doubt get the best of me. I have been telling myself, post baby, that I will never be as fit as I once was or look as good as I did (although I was always a work in progress AND it has been almost 5 years!) Sure, my body is older now, but I can't let that be the reason I don't try as hard as I can to be "me" again. I still relate to that fit girl in many ways. Although I am much less selfish now. And covered in chub! She's in here somewhere, right?
I still believe that a nice, sweaty workout cures what ails me. I still believe that being strong is important. I still believe in fitness as a huge part of wellness.
I need to remember to forgive myself and move on. To get rid of doubt. I can be as fit as I want to be!
