I feel like the mental aspect of fitness can be more difficult - TopicsExpress



          

I feel like the mental aspect of fitness can be more difficult than the physical work, at times. Being able to do what is right for that moment or that day, instead of doing what is easy, can be a very real challenge. How many times have I opted for a Quest Bar instead of my ideal meal, simply because it was easier or I just wasnt in the mood for chicken or rice? While there are worse things, it still is a processed supplement. Because it is a supplement, it is secondary to food. My body has always responded better with whole foods over any supplement. How many times have I skipped my cardio, cut short my resistance training time because I wasnt in the mood, or racked the weight when I could have done more? A lot. I have done this a lot and it has been to my disadvantage. Its because I have done these things that my progress is slower. It is because I have taken a slightly easier route that I havent hit my goals. Ive justified and rationalized all of these behaviors in my mind because I wasnt mentally strong enough to see it through. I cant complain about my results because I am exactly what I have disciplined myself to be up until this point in time. If I want more, then I have to be willing to do more. My body can manage, I just have to get my head right and do what I know is needed for that change.
