About 3 years ago, I made the decision to get in better shape.
- I was suffering a lot of aches as well as pains in my shoulders, lower back as well as hips.
I was experiencing frequent headaches, insomnia as well as lethargy. My productivity at work was at an all-time low, as well as I wasn’t cheerful. I didn’t prefer how I looked or felt, as well as I was distraught about my long-term mental as well as physical health. I realized that I needed to make some changes. I focused on diet as well as exercise. I started by cleaning out my cupboards as well as refrigerator. I threw away all of the sugary popcorn as well as processed foods. I went grocery shopping as well as loaded up on fresh fruits, a variety of vegetables, fish as well as boneless chicken. I set my alarm extra early as well as went for a long run. I failed to properly warm up, stretch, hydrate or cool down. I wore an outdated pair of sneakers that lacked arch support. I was so messed up after the run that I could hardly walk. I was also hungry all the time as well as ended up snacking at work. My efforts to get in shape had myself and others feeling annoyed as well as discouraged. A coworker of mine advocated that I enroll at the gym as well as sign up for nutritional counseling as well as personal training. I was initially reluctant because of the expense. Then I thought about the importance of my health as well as happiness as well as I right away paid for a gym membership. It was the best decision I ever made. The nutritionist has helped myself and others to improve my eating habits separate from feeling hungry all the time. The personal trainer developed a customized workout system that sets decreasing goals as I improve. She showed myself and others how to properly warm up, stretch as well as push myself separate from injury.
