I'm not perfect

You know, sometimes when talking to people I get the impression they think I do things right. Well I don't.  I don't eat healthy all the time and I certainly don't attend every single workout 100%.  Sometimes I can't when my knee, traps or chest are hurting.  But everyday He wakes me up is another day for me to try again.

I was talking with a co-worker today and she commented that I eat healthy and she doesn't. After we finished our chat I felt like maybe I came off like a little miss goodie-two-shoes or that I was looking down my nose at her.  I don't ever want her or anyone to think that I judge what they eat or whether they work out.  I do want to inspire people through communication so I am always willing to talk about food and fitness.  I'm not the healthiest bird on the wire.  I will never tell anyone they are going to get fat if they eat a certain food or dessert.  That is not my place.  Chances are that person is already aware of the choices they make so far be it from me to say something like that.  It doesn't sound nice and I don't want to hurt the feelings of others.  Besides I wouldn't want to be a hypocrite. 

What's not so new but was a year ago is the that feeling of wanting to work out but wanting to eat those wonderful foods that make me want to work out in the first place.  I know what it's like to realize that the lifestyle you are living does not support working out regularly and making healthy food choices.  I used to preach "lifestyle changes" to my clients when I was a trainer.  I didn't understand why they couldn't make a choice to do what they needed to live longer.  Well now I know.  I used to live with someone who didn't workout and he didn't eat healthy most of the time.  It wasn't his fault that I gained weight but I became more relaxed in my setting.  Sometimes he only ate two times a day.   While I was having my fourth meal/snack of the day he was having his second meal.   I used to wonder what it would be like to have someone in my life that cared about fitness and trying to live a healthy life as I was.  With the way things are going I may never know that life.  As for the current date I have shaped my life around fitness and I am happy I did.
