Lots of things are going on in my life right now, starting a new aspect
of my career in addition to my current job, a promotion without the pay
if you will. I have taken on another roommate in my home and am getting
adjusted to the new sights, smells and extra $ it costs to have him
around. Living with 2 boys is much better then living with 2 girls
though! Have a BF that is fairly new (only 6 months into our
relationship) and getting used to being able to communicate my thoughts
on what I want to do and having to work with another person, rather then
just doing what I want when I want. I have also started a new
diet/exercise program recently, lots of new stuff happening!
What do all of these things have in common...the need for trust. I trust
that my new position will give me confidence in public speaking and that
it will help me develop skills to further my career. I trust that having
another roommate will have many pro's that will outweigh the con's, like
paying of my mortgage faster! I trust that having and maintaining my new
relationship will help me to grow and that I will learn new things and
gain companionship. And lastly I trust that my new program will help me
get closer to my goals.
As I have said before, I am working with TC and I have put my trust in
her. Exercise wise, the program is different then what I was doing. Its
great because its re-charged my passion of working out. My old program,
though I changed up the exercises, really didn't change....I did 3 sets
of this, 3 sets of that, no cardio/ weights together and it got bland. I
thought that what I was doing was good, but failed to see any results
after a while. I would change the exercises but no visible results
occurred. With this program I feel stronger, excited, pumped about doing
it! I look forward to going to the gym again, and if nothing else that's
a bonus!
The nutrition aspect is drastically different as well. completely
different! Since I lost my weight, I have always paid attention to what
I eat. I always plan the next days meal, have them packaged and ready to
go, have spare healthy food in my purse for those "just-in-case"
moments, never stocked my cupboards with anything that I knew I couldn't
control myself around (CHIPS!). This helped me get to where I am, above
average healthy, in good athletic shape and a healthy weight. But it
didn't get me to where I know I want to be. In the best shape that I
possible can be in! No Muffin top! So I have also taken on a new way of
dieting (side note, I hate the word diet! I believe in lifestyle change
:) ) I am working with TC to see what works for my body to get rid of
those last 10 or so lbs (another side note: I hate the scale and don't
really care what it says, I believe more in the image in the mirror!)
and this called for big changes to my eating habits.
I trust that eating at night, healthy delicious snacks, is good for me.
Its the choices we make, I have found out, that make the difference. A
certain time of day does NOT determine the # on the scale. I trust that
upping my fat intake will not make me fat, but actually boost my
'fat-burning factory!", I trust that the macros I have been given are
specific to me and that they will take me to where I want to go, even if
it is different and out side of my comfort zone! And though it is scary
to me, I trust TC when she says that a re-feed is what I need :) So
tonight, on V-Day, while my BF is trying to pay attention to the movie,
Ill be quietly munching away on all my delicious carbs that before to me
would have been a big ol' NO NO! It'll actually be nice to have a treat
at a movie...its been a while :)
So question to you, in what or who do you trust and why?
