‘I give myself grace. There are so many fad diets out there and not all of them are good for everyone especially someone like me who is a cancer survivor. I'm still learning about how different kinds of foods affect my body, what to eliminate especially before I run. Second, I think in order to live a healthy lifestyle, you need to have a balance of eating healthy, splurging on special occasions as long as it's not most days, but most importantly realize that what I eat and drink will impact my performance. Third, in order for me to be my best self, cardio needs to be incorporated at least 3 days a week as well as a day of yoga. Since having breast cancer, my bones have become brittle. I have learned that I need to incorporate strength training into my days as well. Last, I also know not to be too hard on myself if I've eaten poorly some days. I just decide to do better the next time and remember what my goal is as what I put in my body and how often I do the exercises I do will either help me reach it or keep me back.”
Take steps toward your health and fitness goals and then just work to keep getting better and more consistent. Appreciate where you are in your journey and work to be better than you were yesterday.
Don't look at anyone "ahead" of you on your journey and think you are failing. This is your journey. Only you can grade you. No one else can. I got so into the comparison journey when I first started that I think it truly held me back in what I could be in the start. I wasn't focused on me but rather focused on what others were doing and why wasn't I where they were/are. That was a major poison to my start. A lot of self head games. Now, I decided to come alongside those people and cheer for them and they cheer for me. Such a healthier relationship with self and others and it really helped me in the focus on me and the ability in others to form that community and cheer them on with their progress.
