Don’t let anyone change the journey you are on!
When someone told me to lose weight so I could get faster times!
I had just completed the Manchester half marathon a while back. I asked a guy if he could take my photo. He did mention politely that I could get so much quicker if I just lost some weight. For me I understand totally what he was getting at but he doesn’t know anything about my goal.
I love nothing more to run and getting faster times is just a bonus really!
I do find I want to look and feel good, which strength training gives me, as well as conditioning for my runs. Creating muscle mass is part of my goal. I wouldn’t want to change my training around because of this.
I’m happy and that is all that matters!
Something as small as this can mess your day up.
We zone in on something small, but we forget about everyone who has praised you!
I think it’s hard sometimes to let this go and focus on all the people who do have praise for you.
Lots of people who you see will have praise if you are changing anything with your health and fitness.
But there will always be people who may say something a little negative even if they didn't mean it either.
It may not be completely directed at you, but it wasn’t positive.
Why are you eating that?
You don’t need to exercise or run that much!
I wouldn’t do that because it causes such an illness.
You're fine the way you are.
Bla bla bla!! It’s not nice and I get how it may make you feel!
Be sure to know everyone has an opinion even if they haven’t a clue what they are on about or even know what journey you want to go down to be happy!
For my new Lean and healthy in 6 program I will be asking more about what they want to become happy because we all have our own individual goal and direction we want to go in!
Because isn’t that what our fitness goal is all about?
Hope this helps give you some positivity moving forwards to go down your own journey!
