I was chatting with one of my girlfriends who is also a bit of a gym junkie also and we found it funny that when you start giving a shit about what you eat and how you live your life that people around you suprisingly become bitter. You would think to yourself that people would be happy and credit you with the fact that you are living healthy, eating clean and exercising ... God forbid the thought that you were actually doing whatever you could to stay illness free - but HELL NO that isn't the case.
It seems these days that some people confuse the meaning of 'DEDICATION' with 'OBSESSION'. Rather than giving praise or commending you on your committment to 'yourself' they would rather stand around the 'water cooler' and bitch about how skinny you are getting ... SHIT - she must have a eating disorder. Conversations turn from how 'unhealthy' it is to exercise that much - little do these ignorant people know about how much exercise is carried out vs how much calorie intake there is.
So basically my blog is to simply say ignore the people who have simple lives and feel the need to bring yours down to excite their own. Be PROUD that you are dedicated enought to get your ass out of bed and workout on those cold mornings - be PROUD enough that you are dedicated at passing on that delicious chocolate cake because you know that an overload of sugar just aint healthy - be PROUD that you have the balls to live your life your way - by your standards.
Ok now that my rant is over - I will add that my training is kicking butt! I have lost a dress size & most importantly I have improved with my strength & cardio! I can now squat 80kg for 4 solid reps @ 2 sets ... and I can now comfortably row 110mins at level 10 with an average speed of 2:30/500. It is amazing what you can do when you seriously put your mind to it.
Focus on your goals daily..... surround yourself with likeminded people .... and live your life being the BEST version of you!
Bring on the next week!
Love SS
