Tonight I went to get dinner, a salad from Subway, and on my way there I realized that I needed gas. I tend to not really watch the news. I'll check out particular sites or if it's in the Post and Courier I'll read it so I was not aware that gas prices had gone as high as they are. (Which I need to create a whole different post about). When I got to the pump I said okay I can either put a cheaper regular gas in my car or I can put what I know for a fact burns well in my caddy and pay the price for the better grade. Without much hesitation I put the premium in her. (I did post a WTF are we paying $3.50 a gallon for gas on my fb page--ok back to the reason I'm here). I said to myself Gina if you had only been putting premium in your body all these years you would be running a whole lot smoother now:).
I can leave it at that because you know where this is going. I must say that this month has been a very informative and fulfilling month. I started Chalene Johnson's 30 Day challenge and what it did was make me realize my priorities and my goals. And that I need to make decisions and actions that are aligned with both of them. So what did I do, started s fit club! If that's not enough I'm looking into getting a workout line for curvy ladies. I'm just a little over a month past cervical disc replacement surgery and it took that to make me realize that I only have this 1 body and life, and it must be taken care of. So no more running off regular or lower grade fuel (food+lifestyle), it's time that I upgrade to premium because I am sooo worth it.
No I'm not saying, Oh from here on out I will only eat organics, and shop Whole Foods or high end food chains and shops. But what I will do is arm myself with the information needed to make better choices in life that will benefit me as well as the ones that I am helping. I will make decisions that will PUSH me closer to my goals. I finally got it that the way you think of and treat yourself you get back and others will do the same.
Since I have began this I have seen a total turn/shift in attitude and outlook on life. I'm surrounded with like people who are on either similar or the same path as me. And it feels good:) This healing process from surgery is just that a process. Some days I feel like I can walk/jog miles upon miles and be as active as I want. And then there's days like today, where the pain is almost unbearable but I keep going. I admit I do tend to overdo it on good days so I'm learning to pace myself and be okay with allowing my body it's time to heal because after all it's been running off and on premium fuel to regular. It's been pampered and maintained to neglected and overlooked because my priorities were all wrong.
So I say to you, no matter what the cost is YOU DESERVE PREMIUM EVERYTHING!, You are not regular so do not feed yourself (spiritually, physically, mentally, financially or socially) that crap anymore. You deserve a higher Grade!
Peace and Blessings
