Today I had a great, longer session of cardio and felt really awesome getting in a good sweat session. I did 30 min run (3.19 miles) and did a 60 min bootcamp class at Suffer System with Eric and Maria. I'm really whetting my appetite for my trip to Dominican (we leave Saturday for my sister's and her fiance's wedding) and also boxing...sounds kind of random rereading this, but I have been thinking, "what would it be like to try MMA or boxing? Would I be good? I'm a little worried about getting the crap kicked out of me, but it might be kind of fun to try a different sport. There's only so many miles I can run before I get tired of being alone (but don't think I wouldn't love to go for a run with a team!) but running is strictly a sport that fits a certain somatotype and I think I may make a good boxer than a faster runner.
Today's workout was a lot of rope skipping, stair running and core work.
Some ask me what gives me satisfaction with being physically fit? I think it really just comes down to plain, old leanness. I love the way I look when I'm defined, fit and my quads separate...funny bodybuilding talk...but I love looking athletic. I like being lean, I like being fit and I LOVE being strong...both in mind, body and spirit!
Being strong is not about food, but it can be. But what it *REALLY* means, in my opinion, is being of solid character, solid faith and being true to yourself. If you choose to be an athlete and eat a certain way, good for you! But avoiding food or developing a disordered way of looking at food and your body, is not healthy. And it's emotionally draining and depriving yourself of life and general well being.
If you have any questions regarding eating disorders, you should talk to your doctor and check out this website: ed-bites.blogspot.com. Sometimes it's hard to know what you are going through or developing, but there are those who can help.
