Fitness

I am sure you all know by now that i am very into fitness, exercise and feeling physically and mentally well!! :)
  
Of course, when i first started living 'healthy' i.e working out and eating healthy. It was more that i was testing it. My eating healthy started with that i became sugar addicted when i had recovered from anorexia, and i felt that i had to stop eating soo much sugar. And i then started eating more healthy & filling salads, and as i started working out , I began eating more protein.
  At first i just went to the gym twice a week, i would either run or use the elliptical or go swimming. Otherwise i was going for walks or running outside. (I love running!)
   And then overtime, i began more strength training, started going to the classes at the gym. 
I now feel more physically and mentally happy. I love the way i look :) And i love feeling stronger and being able to do so much.
  Fitness is a big part of who i am.

At first of course, my mum and sister were a bit worried. They didnt want things to go downhill for me, as it so easily can when you start exercising and eating more 'cleanly'. They can be very obvious signs of an eating disorder.
  But for me, i know it isnt a disorder. I have no problem eating junk food, but of course if there is an alternative i will chose something else. But sometimes, all i want is Ben and Jerrys, or chocolate or both :) And i know its ok to eat :) And i allow myself that.
  I workout and i love it. I love the endorphins, i love moving my body. I love becoming stronger, but of course i have to listen to my body and find a balance with everything. I go to school and have homework, but i love working out, so i make time for it!!

But now a days, my mum and sister are used to it. They know that this is how i have chosen to live my life.

   
And my sister has mentioned several times that she wants to go to the gym with me, she wants me to train her and be her PT!! ^_^And she is also asking for nutritional advice, about what i think about certain foods. And i have no problem helping her. I just find it fun :) I love giving advice about nutrition, exercise etc!
  And today, my mum actually told me that i should start a fitness blog, to help others and give advice :) Hahah. Already done that!!
  I like how accepting they are. Though of course, i have had several talks with both of them, where we have had to explain our thoughts. Me telling them how i feel, and that i am not working out to compensate and not eating healthy to lose weight. 


I love giving advice and helping others. But i actually have no plans about becoming a PT or a nutrionist/dietist... though i am sure that it wouldnt be so hard as i know so much already :)
