I’ve had this post sitting in my drafts for a long time. Almost a year. So much so that it started with “It’s almost summer, almost bikini wearing season, and I’m feeling blah.” We’re now, again pushing into the spring/summer season, and I’ve pretty much done nothing but read this over once in awhile.
I will totally admit that I probably have nothing to complain about. I have a decent body shape. My issue is that I’m a little pudgy. I’m not as toned as I would like to be. This isn’t really the way I wanted to start talking about this, but I think once I put it “out there”, I might be more inclined to do it.
When I stopped hitting the gym 3x a week, I definitely noticed a huge difference in my body and my life. I’m way less flexible, and I’m definitely not as strong anymore. I can’t do certain poses that I was rocking back in the summer. My body position for riding is suffering, and I need to step it up. I cancelled the gym a couple months ago because it was just getting too expensive, and why bother paying for something that I’m currently not using because I don’t have time? That’s just a terrible budgeting move. The only thing is that once I get home, I definitely don’t feel like getting off the couch to do some exercises. But I should probably just do them while I’m getting dinner ready.
