How to say NO!/Cum sa zici NU!

Cum sa spui "Nu!"

Ma astept la o febra musculara grozava dupa antrenamentul de ieri. Asa dor mi-a fost. Ii incomparabila senzatia care o am cand ma bag la dus stiind ca il merit, ca am lucrat! Cand incep ziua cu un antrenament greu parca nimic nu mi-i mai poate strica, pur si simplu sunt atat de drogata cu endorfine. Sunt dependenta de ele. Astazi fac doar cardio si abdomene. Ii 1 Decembrie, si mi-am propus ca luna asta pun accent pe abdomen. Vin sarbatorile de iarna, bunatatile de pe masa de Craciun ne afecteaza silueta. Parca toti ne punem pe regim dupa sarbatori nu-i asa? Eu fac inainte. Cand vedem bunatatile pe masa, ne e greu sa spunem nu fripturilor si sarmalutelor. De cand mi-am schimbat stilul de viata, sunt supusa tentatiilor zilnic, parintii mei manca normal (prajeli si amestecat). Oriunde mergem in oras, vad "bunatati" de care eu nu mai mananc. Am invatat sa rezist tentatiei. Cum? Ma gandesc la toate kilele alea care le-am cumulat mancand aceste "bunatati". Ma amintesc ca nu bine pentru de corpul meu sa mananc din ele. Ma intreb "chiar am nevoie sa mananc asta?", "nu pot trai fara sa manc asta?"; si imi dau seama ce trebuie sa fac, sa nu le mananc! Nu mi se pare normal modul de gandire: Am fost azi la sala, pot manca orice. Nu, nu poti manca orice, nu te rasplati cu mancare, nu esti caine. Daca vrei neaparat friptura, manca ceva la gratar nu prajit, iar ca garnitura cere salata in loc de cartofi sau orez. Daca nu poti renunta la desert, schimba desertul dulce cu salata de frute, o sa vezi diferenta!

Voi ce v-ati propus pentru luna Decembrie?

How to say "No!"

I expect major muscle soreness after yesterday's workout. I've missed it so much! The feeling when you know you've earned your shower is matchless. When I start my day with a hard workout, it's like nothing can go wrong, I am so high on endorphins. I am addicted to it. Today I do cardio. It's the 1st of December, so I've promised myself, that this month I focus on my abs. The winter holidays are close and the holiday table affects our silhouette. A lot of us start dieting after holidays don't we? Well I'm doing it before. When we see all the goodies on the table, we can't say no. Since I've changed my lifestyle, I am exposed to temptation daily since my parents eat normal (fried and mixed). Anytime we go out, I see goodies I don't eat anymore. I've learned to resist temptation. How? I think about all the kilos I heaped up eating these "goodies". I remind myself that eating them wouldn't be good for my body. I ask myself "Do you really need to eat this?", "Can I live without eating this?"; and I do what's best, not eating them! I don't like the perception: "I've been to the gym today, so I can eat anything I want". No, you can't, don't reward yourself with food, you're not a dog! If you really want roast, eat something grilled not fried, and ask for salad instead of potato or rice as garnish. If you can't give up dessert, ask for fruit salad instead of pastries or ice cream, you'll see the difference!

What promises have you made for December?
