Healthy

I truly believe that being healthy occurs in more ways than we are accustomed to.  Of course when we think about being healthy the first thing we think about is exercise, and eating right.  What though about having a healthy mind?  Do you think you can be healthy and workout 5x a week, eat clean but have a high stress load is considered healthy?  I know my biggest struggle is having a healthy mind and I know most, if not the majority of it stems from dieting thoughts and behaviors learned too early on to realize they were all the wrong approach.

I have been seeing and trying to read all of the articles that my fit bitches post on facebook (I hope I don't offend anyone by saying fit bitches lol).  Some of them are about how the competition dieting/ extreme diets over time can do so much damage.  I have been [to-the-clueless-people-on-a-healthy-lifestyle] dieting since May of last year, competed in October, took some time "off" then started dieting again.  Honestly, do I have any idea what this means?  Yes. Did I do it correctly? NO. Why?  binging and because when I started a long time ago trying to change the way I look I destroyed the way I should think.

I am working on changing that and trying to live a healthy life but reaching my dreams along the way!  So far I want to say that today is day two with my goal, yesterday was a huge success and I can't wait to come back on here and say how successful I was today too!  I am not going to lie, I had cravings all day yesterday and today I am too but I know I don't need to eat junk food.  That type of food will not fuel my body, I have taken off from the gym yesterday and today, back at it tomorrow and so on lifting days I will still be incorporating a lunch dessert for myself!  Cheerio!
