perfectionism

Jan 20, 2012

So, I've been going to the gym for about a week now. I can tell my endurance is getting much better. I did an hour on the treadmill one night!! Then I read an article about women who spend too much time on cardio machines actually create a hypothyroid state. I became frustrated to say the least. It's like everyone has a different opinion about exercise, proteins, carbs, ect. I just want to do it right and at time I don't know who to listen to! But tonight at the gym, I decided I'm going to listen to myself. I am not a bodybuilder or a model. I am not looking to get that "perfect body" ( not yet anyways! ) I want to lose fat - 100lbs to be exact. So I really figure anything I do to get my body moving and start developiong muscles is a plus. Somewhere along the line I developed this false believe that I cannot be trusted. I make "bad decisions", I "don't know what's best"....ect. I wait for others to tell me exactly what to do and I put my faith in the advise or worse in them. Well guess what - I can ask God to help me along the way and stay honest, open, and willing and I can trust myself. I let my head get the best of me sometimes and I just fall into fear ie; too much treadmill? I am using machine weights and not free weights is that okay? ect. Today I will remember that I have asked God to help me on this journey. I have lots of people praying for me. I can relax and do my very best and leave the results up to God and it will be okay.
