Being a little Happier and less Cynical
Do you guys have some tips to enlighten the mind and bring us all mentally to a better place? For me.. body image is tied to my happiness. Its a double edged sword. Its hard for me to be happy when I am out of shape, and much easier when I am in shape. I like being this way because my whole chemistry revolves around a need to lift and be fit but I also see how this could be a negative. Another thing I will do is write down my short and long term goals and work towards them. I try to release that feeling of satisfaction when I accomplish something. For me that is one of the best feelings I can feel.
This has been on my mind because I let my bodyfat get above 20% and just noticed myself feeling not so good about the world or people or myself in general. I have tweaked my diet and been doing a lot of cardio that I never used to do. I did 3 hours on the bicycle yesterday and will probably do 2 of walking today. My body responds better to more food and more cardio with weights versus less food and little cardio with weights for the look I am trying to achieve.
