"It seems as though the other things I do in the day are merely attempts of distracting myself until it is time to eat again." Funny? Yes. Why? It is probably the most truthful statement about food of all time.
The saying "you can't buy happiness, but you can buy ice cream." comes to mind. It really is happiness don't you think?
The only downside to eating is that in order to balance life, working out is essential. So after coming to this conclusion I decided to weigh my options. After ruling out practically everything (running) haha I decided to entertain myself by doing one of those old workout videos. The ones were everyone is wearing sweat bands and leotards. Haha. I thought it would at least be entertaining even if it didn't do anything.
I picked up the video titled "Bun Battle," giggled to myself and knew this was going to be good. What I didn't know was how right I was...
The video consisted of squats and silly little movements that really didn't put any strain on my body. I was feeling great! Thinking, " I am not that out of shape after all This is awesome!" When it was over I felt a little tired and sweaty, but not even nearly as tired or sweaty as I expected so what did I do? I did the workout again!! BAD IDEA
The next day
My
Bum
Was
So
Sore
It
Was
Ridiculous!!
I couldn't sit, I couldn't stand. haha Any movement at all felt like daggers in my rump. Gee whiz! For days I hobbled around trying not to wince so I wouldn't have to explain to everyone that the reason I was in pain was a result of some old workout video called the "Bun Battle" hah
Long story short.. My love for food will always be there so the battle to stay fit has begun. The bum battle got the best of me, but soon I will get the best of it! Literally, I will be lookin' my best. :)
So don't disregard those old videos. They work! and they are muuuch better than running. :) They have everything from Cardio to Flexibility and back. You don't have to do everything, just do something. Being active not only allows you to eat it makes you feel better! It affects every aspect of your life! So join the battle because its the best thing you can do for you. :)
