Feeling It

Motivitation is an important tool.  When your mindset is not there, hunt down your motivation.  Focus on why you want to be healthy or improve your body composition.  If you can live in that focus, you will have an easier time finding success.

Some of my stress has been alleviated.  But, that stress actually caused me to refocus.  I feel rejuvinated and excited.  My desire is back.  This week I have not eaten after dinner, or had a controlled snack.  I have slept better and feel more energized.

The last step is to execute more movement.

What Stress Does to Good Intentions

My schedule has been packed.  My social life is not balanced.  Now, one of my most important relationships is unraveling.  Stress is tough.  It does many things to our health if not managed appropriately.

I will save the acute and chronic responses of stress and focus elsewhere today.  Stress tends to send us towards whatever is comfortable, our crutches.  It could be food, tv, alcohol, drugs, cheap relationships, etc. 

We make excuses, because we "deserve a break or a treat".  Either way.  I am going to keep working towards my goals.  I am up a bit, so time to dig in and make time for myself.
