Balance is the Key to reaching the extreme goal.
A part of me wants to write a novel requiring a lot of sedentary activity.
Another part of me wants to be slimmer and improve my fitness requiring more activity.
My life has often held contradictory goals and as I am not superwoman I cannot perform at peak capacity at both. This year I am writing my novel.
This year weight and fitness management not necessarily improvement is my goal.
I knocked off work from my novel writing in time to get 8 hours in bed that night. Brilliant for me.
I did not over ` or under eat for the day. I eat a lot more than the 1200 calories suggested on the Michelle Bridges 12 week body transformation program, what I ate was all healthy and I do aim for a calorie deficit, as I am overweight, and I achieved that.
So I am proud of my moderate effort towards fitness although it was a pathetic physical effort compared to most of my friends who do the 12WBT.
I am proud I had a day of balance in my life, I even offered to pop over and help a depressed friend with her housework though I was quite happy that she declined as I did not really have the time. I manage my concern about things like a loved one's depression by maintaining my own peace of mind and while letting others know I care and am there for them, I strive to cushion myself so my own happiness if not going to be extremely affected by the behaviour of others. This to me is FITNESS.
What is fitness to you?
