100 Days of Fitness
Today is the day.
I’ve made it the past 100 days working out every. single. day.
Honestly, I couldn’t tell you why I started with the number 100 in my head for the amount of days in a row I was striving to move my body. All I knew was that quarantining had taken a toll on my body; and I didn’t like where it was. I liked things about it: I liked that my body got to see more and more of my fiance every day. I liked that it got to work from home. But I didn’t like that I was stress eating more and more and moving less and less (and we all know what that leads to).
So somewhere in my brain: 100 days was what I wanted to strive for.
Now, I’ll be honest: there were some days where I did not want to do anything. This is where it was so important to have my wonderful support system of John - he always pushed me to not give up because he knew it would make me feel better.
I also want to clarify that not every day was an intense workout. Some days it was just a 30 minute Yoga with Adriene video on youtube. Some days it was hiking or a long walk. But a lot of the time it was a peloton ride, or a run or a HIIT workout; and that’s something that I’m really proud of.
So… now what? Well, I don’t plan on stopping my streak anytime soon. I love exercising every day; my day doesn’t really feel complete without it. I’m really glad that these past 100 days have ingrained in me this habit of doing something for myself and for my body every day (even if sometimes you don’t feel like it).
I will say that for the next hundred days, I do want to shift my focus towards nutrition. I want to work on fully healing my relationship with food (spoiler alert: it’s never been a good one until I started noom around 3-4 months ago), and fueling my body with healthy, whole, delicious things… while also allowing myself to the treats I thoroughly enjoy - without going overboard. In the past I used to have a mentality of “well I made myself this yummy thing but I shouldn’t eat it, so I’ll eat it all right now so that it won’t be there tomorrow”; which is extreme and unhealthy in so many ways. Not to mention more often than not, the next day I’d want the thing again and make myself a whole new batch. So did you hear that, next 100 days? We’re about to get healing all up in here!
I know not everyone’s goals are like mine- so what are you doing for the next hundred days?
xoxo,
Sarah
