A gym where they have a fitness check-up every month and hold you accountable. Yikes.
Firstly I know a lot of people are waiting for workout posts and more health updates but I’m giving myself a well-deserved break right now. I haven’t been to the gym in 2-3 weeks and I’m definitely not eating the healthiest. It took me a very long time to fully accept that I can take these kinds of breaks guilt free. The old me would have been so stressed out about possible weight gain and reverse fitness. However, I know now that it’s not important. We don’t have deadlines when it comes to our bodies. It’s okay if we don’t reach our fitness goal right now, it’s alright if we take a short break. Being fit is a lifestyle. It’s not about always looking bomb or constantly having the perfect set of abs. As I’m sure I’ve said before, it’s about feeling happy and good in your body.
Soooo getting more to topic… why I’m taking this break. Well, truthfully I took time off the gym and proper eating because I had my final exams. But now it’s the break and I decided I needed some time off to prepare myself. Prepare myself, because…(drumroll)… I’m finally going to join a more official gym next month. With a personal trainer and much more equipment. I know it doesn’t seem like a big deal but to me, it’s a HUGE step. ‘Till now I’ve had full control of my workouts and I’ve never had to vocalize any goals I might have for myself. I’ve been working out at the gym in my building so I haven’t been getting actual fitness or nutritional advice from anyone. It has always been me, myself, google and youtube. The internet taught me all I know about working out.
But I have accepted that I’ve outgrown my small regular gym, and also the internet workouts. I want to try out new types of workouts and also push myself to become stronger, physically and mentally. I know this might seem like a weird blog post but I wanted to give y’all an update and the full backstory on this so that y’all can know what goes on behind the scene. This is a firsthand honest account of a fitness journey. I wanted to provide the thought process that goes into starting these kinds of physical journeys. This is me declaring a new beginning and basically putting my plans out there. This way I can’t back out and I’ll have the courage to start all over at a completely foreign gym (I’m already having lowkey anxiety over it but I’m also very excited).
I hope you enjoyed reading this :) Stay tuned to hear more about this new adventure and all the ups and downs it’ll bring.
Lots of love,
Nethmi
