I train/diet/live the life because...


I feel and look better than I EVER have. It has such a big impact on everything in my life in a positive way, and I can't give that up. I Love my life, and can't imagine it any other way.

I do it to: be healthy - my parents dying before I was 30 really opened my eyes to how important health is..........because I love being strong -- I get a kick out of being able to lift heavy things that other women can't........it's my stress relief -- I can take a PO'd mood & a bad day out on the iron & they won't bitch or complain & I can go home with a clean slate & relax.......It relaxes me........

I had to think back down to what is the base reason -- all the things I listed flow from that original reason because something happened the first time I pushed the leg press on this ancient Universal machine at my YMCA in 1981. It was like - HOLY SHIT! I MOVED A PILE OF WEIGHT! THAT IS SOOOO COOL!

It was sitting there, I'd never seen anyone use it. I wanted to see if I could push some weight. I could. I could push more weight. Shit! I'm strong. I love doing this crap! Hey let's try some of this other stuff! AWESOME! I got the most amazing sense of satisfaction and it wasn't something that I felt like I had to go call my dad & show him. It didn't matter if someone else saw it. It just mattered that I could do it.

Good thing I found this as an addiction instead of lighting up a bong....

Mine is pretty simple. I like looking and feeling good.

Because...no matter how I age, this lifestyle makes me sing (in my best James Brown) "I feel good!!!".

I could not see myself NOT training or living a fitness lifestyle. It defines my life that much.

Well, I have been "out of the lifestyle" for awhile now, but I am getting back into it for three reasons:

1) I want to be healthy for a long time. Being at a healthy weight and fitness level is key in this. Eating a healthy balanced diet is also key here.

2) I want to set a good example for my daughter. I want to show her that women can be strong, athletic and healthy - and STILL be feminine. I want her to grow up knowing she can accomplish anything. She doesn't have to come in first - but working towards goals and trying new things, that is what matters. I want her to grow up in an active healthy house.

3) I just simply feel better about everything when I am at a healthy weight and a good fitness level. I feel better about myself, my life and everything else.

Because it is what makes me happy, It makes me who I am, it shows my 2 children the importance of being healthy.
And...it makes me hotter! LOL

 

[smbdybldr]

Because it makes me happy, confident, makes me look and feel good and wanting to go out and wear my cute clothes and shop for more clothes..
I personally have a closet full of cute clothes and have not been wearing them for about over a year and I am ready to get back to my shape and start enjoying life again!!!

 

[msam76]

because I don't want to die like my mom did. I want to be healthy and strong. If I ever get cancer, I'll be ready to fight it and since I will be in shape, I'll fight it HARD!
