Undoubtedly, the most difficult part of starting a healthy lifestyle is finding the motivation. This motivation can not just last a day either. In order to stay healthy and happy we have to continually remind ourselves of the results we are seeking. Recently I have decided to eat healthier and workout more. I am not doing this to lose weight but just to feel better. the first thing I noticed is just how hard it is to not cave in. It isn't that I completely punish myself and not allow myself to eat unhealthy but I definitely eat unhealthier foods in moderation now. the most affective move I have made is drinking more water to prevent myself from mistaking thirst for hunger. It is amazing how many times I would skip a bottle of water and replace it with extra food.
Like I said before, it is a strenuous process that challenges us more mentally than physically. Therefore, we should set goals that can be reached and treat ourselves once we reach them. Who knows, as time goes on we may no longer feel the need to reward ourselves. Being healthy might become second nature!
You know what would be helpful here? An image of your pre-workout lifestyle. Then we'd understand much better what the workout Leah is going through, and the transition you take. So what exactly are you doing physically? Dietarily?
