Getting Stronger

You are STRONG but you may not even know it. I am not even aware of my strength for the most of the time. I read about strong women, i have strong women in my life and for some others I am that strong woman. It's funny how we can't grasp such a simple thing. But it is indeed a journey and an interesting one.
What I am learning is what strength means to me. I believe it is individual. Strength for me is many things such as physical strength, fitness, health, confidence,intelligent curiosity, humility and spirituality. As I try real hard to work on all of them at once, I have decided to take it one step at a time. I have lost the control of my body. In order to be strong I should have a strong body and soul . As, I have been working out for a while now with the intent to solely lose weight and fit in my clothes, I have started to change my focus to strengthen my body instead. I want to have a strong body so I can carry myself better, which will influence my confidence. I want to be stronger in my legs so I don't feel as tired after sitting at work all day. I want to be stronger knowing that I am doing the best to be healthier and a great example for others. I want to motivate people because that pushes me even further. I love this. I love my new approach and I am hopefully going to be stronger in mind, heart, body and soul.

Are you getting stronger? Let's do it together. Take one step at a time and take the time to take care of your body. It's the key to your healthy future!

Losing myself

I was who I was and I am who I am.

This sentence has been on my mind for weeks while I am trying to keep my head above the water. I never thought that I will be trapped in the routine and doubting who I am. I had to ask myself: Did I lose the fun and bubbly zummie? The answer is yes. I feel the transition from worry free to worry to every day routine. Is this life and reality? Different priorities shape life. Life is good still. I was who I was because it makes me who I am today. I do not think that I am losing the fun and bubbly zummie. It is still there, just locked up by commitments, priorities, and life itself but it comes out with people you love and bits and pieces with people you meet daily. I just need to remind myself that it's still me.
I am who I am. I need to breathe in and out.

I am happy.
