So your body is changing from flab to fit, and although we should be embracing our new muscular physique we are some how freaking out from the whole process.
I remember when I first starting changing up my fitness and lifting heavier weights not spending 3 hours in the gym, getting more accomplished in ten minutes then I used to in day.
Focusing on fitness goals not calories burned and opening up a whole world you never knew existed …
Your Wardrobe will Change:
You will go exchange that denim and for yoga pants and those flip-flops for workout shoes. T-shirts will turn to fun tanks about working out. You have to dig for a normal bra over the sea of sports bras. You can’t dry anything so your laundry room looks like Scheels…. You exchange your purse for a workout bag filled with the essentials lacrosse ball, larabars, rock tape …
You Become Aware of Form At All Times:
I notice even when I squat to pick something out my inner voice is saying push you knees out push your but back weight in the heels etc …when lifting anything over head lock out and show your ears …
You will have random scars, bumps, blisters, bruises in places you never thought possible:
From bruises on your collar bones, ripped up hands, torn shins, the infamous booty rash, rope burn perfectly normal to the fit chic, a torture chamber for others ….
You Feel Left Out When Your Not At the Gym …
Your thoughts start to turn from I wonder where were are going to happy hour today to… I wonder what so and so got on their back squat?
Maybe I will try to do a lighter band in the workout …
I wish I could do the workout today … It looked fun etc …
You Start to Do Everything for Time:
I now Find myself seeing how quickly I can get through my daily TDL (to do list). I can fold the laundry in 5 minutes flat, making crock pot chili takes me 5:37. I see how many errands I can get done in an hour …I even shower for time!
Stop looking at Fit as a bad thing and start looking at it as a bad ass thing!!
