Nutrition: I Just Want to Be Healthy and Feel Good

by crossfitmomm, posted in Nutrition

There are various areas of our lives that we feel good about: spiritual, physical, mental, relational, financial, and overall quality of life.

Feeling good is a challenge for most of us in at least one of these areas. We struggle with one or more of these aspects every day.

For me, it’s been the physical.

As you know, my hormones have been all over the place, and I’m still trying to figure out what to eat and when and what time of the month, so I feel really good physically.

There are days when I get it right and days I don’t get it right.

And if I’m doing really well with the eating/hormone balance, then I’m usually struggling with some kind of strain or pull instead.

I try to accept that this is the life I’m chosen, but some days are just plain hard to get through.

I keep going. Every day hoping to get it just a little bit more right and praying I discover the secret and balance of eating, sleep, and working out to make it the best day ever.

Just Me and the Box…

happiness-facebook-cover-4Recently, I got asked to coach a few Saturday classes at my box.  Well, with that position, I got a key.

I used that key for the first time today.

The drive from my house is 3 minutes.  In those 3 minutes, my time was magical.  The darkness clung to me like a diamond ring.  It was so amazing.

I arrived at 4:40 am before my 5:30 am class.

It was so quiet.  So serene.  So real.

It was just me and the box and the barbell.

And it was magic.

I deadlifted.  I listened to my music.  I did my own thing.  With no one around to watch. To judge.  To witness.

It was me against myself.

Perfect.

I stretched.  I tested out my bicep/shoulder, which has been injured all week.  I soaked in the solace.  The elation.  Of being back into it after a forced break of 6 days.

Happiness defined.
