I've started an 8 week challenge for fitness and healthy eating and fuck me, the amount of admin involved is exhausting. I've been so enthusiastic but the more I've had to prepare for it food wise, the more my enthusiasm fades. I'll still go to the group training session tonight but I'm genuinely already exhausted.
Food prep can take a lot of time, especially when it is new things. It usually gets quicker as you get used to what you are doing, but will always take longer than grabbing something quick or pre-prepared. But it does pay you back in improved health and energy. You're worth the extra time.
Definitely agree, it'll just take time to find a balance and I'm good with it. I'll get used to it eventually.
I’ve seen a couple of my friends who have a strict diet weigh their food and document it all and also having to guess the content or rating of what they’re eating.
It took a bit of time before they got to eating their food and it was only a small snack of chocolate or a little cupcake.
I admire their dedication to it all though.
Oh it's totally admirable, I'm just aiming for balance but to still enjoy food! I definitely agree though, it'll just take time to get used to it and I'm in it now.
Go you! It can be pretty daunting to take on a big challenge like this but it's worth it if you're determined. I admire you for including group training sessions!
It's a great way to be kept accountable you know? Having a whole group to show progress to. It's one group session a week and then I've got to incorporate two-three additional sessions.
Good on you! I'm trying to worry less about food and more about just being more active these days. I hate counting calories, just trying to lay off the takeaways and junk.
You need to get on the best diet in the world… the feijoas diet. Where all you eat is feijoas 😜
Omg if only the season was longer 🥰 I miss them already. You should try some next year!
I will
