JaimieLBoles's Journal, 18 May 2015

Ok, so I start my mornings at the office pretty much the same every day. I get to work, eat my breakfast and sip my coffee while continuing to wake up. I keep the health and fitness page of pinterest open in the background while I check my emails and make a list of what needs to get done that day, periodically going to scroll down pinterest to keep my mind on a "pro health" track. This helps me fight of the urge of "instant gratification" of eating junk (that is kept readily available in the office unfortunately) by reminding myself of not only my healthy eating goals of fueling my body primarily with REAL food, but also my fitness goals that depend on it.

Well, today was such a day and I scrolled past an article I have seen a billion times and never clicked on because it just seemed too simple a concept. Today though for some reason I decided to finally see WHAT the advise of "3 miles or 30 minutes every day" was based on. I know that myself, like most people, feel like if I don't treat it like boot camp it probably won't work.

Well, not only did I recognize the struggle described in the article, but the woman who gave this advice struggled the same as me with the very same physical problem I have (injured knee that acts up and scares you when working out, hence the reason I won't ever do a 500 squat challenge or any nonsense like that).

I seriously advise taking the two minutes it would require to read this little article. It's nothing earth shattering or major, but some seriously simple, cut and dry advice from someone who lived it.

3 Miles or 30 Minutes Every Day

Hope everyone has a great week and feels good about the healthy changes we are all in the process of making!
