nothing-to-give-up

Last Wednesday was the start of Lent, and every year, I will normally give up some sort of endulgance like chocolate, sugar or cakes.

But this year, I feel at a loss! I hardly eat chocolate, cakes, crisps, biscuits or other treats like this anymore! It’s made me realise how much I’ve changed my diet, as if I were to give up one of these things for Lent, it would actually be too easy or not really make a difference to my normal life as I’m not addicted to them like before! ;-)

So this year, I have decided to take up something instead. I’m going to make sure I keep myself positive about going to the gym and my fitness, and not complain about being tired. I realised that I do this a lot, and all it really does is make me feel like I don’t want to go to the gym because of how I’m feeling. I need to learn to accept how I feel, and that it’s best to be out there and doing things when feeling unwell ,as for me it’s rare that I don’t feel unwell.

I know it may sound over the top, but I need to be more thankful that I can actually go to the gym. Although I have health issues, I’m still relatively healthy and I’m definitely getting much fitter! Over this Lent period, I’m going to take time to think about how I think and act when I don’t really feel like doing something, and be more positive and motivated.

I have made a huge change to my eating habits and exercise, and thinking back to a year ago makes me realise that I’m much better off now. Having more control over my health and fitness is a wonderful feeling, even though it’s taken a long time to get there!
