But I couldn't think about what to write today.
Maybe it's because I feel like a bit of a fraud. I'm getting my exercise in, making smarter choices, moving in the direction that I want (both scale and metaphorically), but I just don't feel like I am nearly cool enough to be part of the crowd. I'm a Greatist Ambassador and a Sweat Pink Ambassador for FitApproach, and when I see the profiles of all my amazing cohorts, I think that my story isn't really that exciting or inspiring. I know that we all talk about finding fitness our own way, and I wanted to be an Ambassador for both of these amazing groups because they offer so many ways to find your fitness and health. And I wanted to show that even someone with a chronic illness can achieve some level of health.
But I find myself boring. How can I be inspiring when my efforts sometimes amount to a 20-minute walk with my dog and some stretching while my fantastic cohorts are logging miles, lifting weights and more? Because of my health lately, my efforts have been focused on not gaining weight from not moving around too much and making smarter choices. I'm not looking for a pity party, but I realized that I was running out of things to talk about because my routines are simple and not really exciting.
I guess I'm in a funk today and it will pass. I'll get on with my exercise and healthy choices. That's why #imagreatist, I #sweatpink, I'm part of the #girlsgonesportycrew and I'm sure of #mycommitment to a healthier life. (ha! I didn't think I could fit that many hashtags in one sentence!!)
How do you get over your slumps/funk when you feel that your efforts aren't amounting to much?
