Tonight I was in a bit of a "blah" state. You know when you've just been going, going, going all the time then suddenly stop and everything kinda starts to crumble from pure exhaustion? Yeah, that's how I was feeling... But then I got a motivational fitness text from my brother's girlfriend. It's those little things that encourage and inspire me to keep trying. That teach me not to give up. Anyway, we started chatting away about the usual things, exchanging weigh gain woes (for me) and weight loss successes (for her), exercise and food tips and random little pictures to motivate each other to continue. She then started talking about this website that you can sign up to and it will help you workout how much weight you need to lose and how much muscle you need to gain in order to achieve your "ideal" body. I hope to one day be the size of a fitness model, and in order to do that I need to lost 5.1kg of body fat and add 3.9kg of lean body mass... It's predicted that will take me 213 days to do! Or some ridiculously long time. I think in the meantime I will need to set really short term goals to help me stay one track.It's amazing how not even three hours ago I felt like there was no use me continuing to try and that I should just accept my body and now I'm feeling so much more encouraged! So tomorrow morning, despite the fact it's my first day of holidays, I am going to wake up early and go for a run. By the end of December 20 I hope to be running 13km in an hour again... Reckon that's manageable? Maybe. Maybe not. Only time will tell. But for the moment, that's the first hurdle I need to overcome. After all, baby steps!
