This may be really odd coming from a lifestyle fitness coach, but there is much more to life than health. Yes it’s very important to take care of your body; it is the only one you get. And the only way we can do that is to stay in shape and eat right. But I caution you, if your priority in life is centered around health and fitness you may be making a terrible mistake.
I’m a believer that everything we have is a blessing from God and that includes having the ability to get what we have. It’s also important to take care of anything that He has given us. But if you get up in the morning and go to bed at night thinking about your next workout then your priorities are out of order. I would venture to guess that if this is you, work is probably an equal priority, which means you are probably missing what is really important in life.
If you can’t have an occasional glass of wine with friends or a milkshake with your kids without stressing – unless you’re in competition prep – your priorities are wrong. If you can’t miss a day or two of working out because of illness or a business trip without stressing; again there is too much focus on your fitness.
It’s very important to maintain a regular workout schedule and nutrition program but not at the sacrifice of relationships, fun events or added stress when you have to miss a workout.
Remember your health and fitness must be in balance with the rest of your life, not the priority of your life.
