How Do You Feel?

Do you ever think about how you feel instead of how you look?  Sometimes we get so caught up in weight loss, dress size, diet and exercise routine things we forget to look at the big picture.  If you read my last post you know the family and I went away for the weekend.  We had a wonderful time, tubing on the slopes and playing at the indoor water park.  I love spending time with my family and I always keep the big picture in the fore front.  I no longer play collegiate or competitive sports and over the years my goals have changed.  I workout to maintain my health and to feel good.

A few years after I had my daughter I decided I really wanted to drop the weight, even though I was already at a healthy weight, I got down to about as low a body fat percentage as was healthy for a female.  Mentally I felt great I loved the way I looked and I loved being able to drop down my clothes size.  There was only one problem, physically I felt awful.  I was definitely sick more often, I always felt weak and it just seemed like my body could not survive at that body fat.  Naturally I put some of the weight (in fat) back on my body.  I choose to feel good.

I have said it before it is important to understand your goals and where you ultimately want to be.  Take some time and think about how you feel.  Maybe you have already achieved your goal and do not even know it yet.  As for goals we have started a new year, what better time to sit and get them written.  Don't write a temporary resolution instead create permanent goals you will follow through with.

Life is too short to worry all the time, think about how you feel and actually give yourself the credit you deserve.
