Yes that’s right….
It’s 2020, I’m JoJo, I’ve been on and off fitness and nutrition like a yo-yo and it’s now time to STOP!
Im starting again but this time for keeps. Its not about extreme fitness, or extreme diets looking for quick results, but lifestyle choices. As cliche as it sounds, its true. How we choose to live our lives is a privilege in itself especially when so many people have very little choice as to what they can eat. But here I am grateful because I am able to freely decide what I put in my body, how I move my body and even where I take my body physically and spiritually.
Remaining fit seems like hard work. I always believed in the ‘go hard or go home’ saying. But I recall an ex-trainer , Sensei Felix, always saying to ‘be like a child’ and just do things without thinking about it. Notice how I tried to stay away from the infamous Nike slogan ‘Just Do It’ but it’s so friggin true it’s annoying.
Anyhow, so since Christmas that’s been my mantra – Just Do It. Each time I wanted to walk away from my daily Pilates I just did it. Each time I was like I can’t be bothered to do 10 push ups, I just did it. This morning I turned over several times but then that little voice said – Just Do It and I got up and went for my workout.
And so I am here again blogging. I’m a few years older 🤦🏿♀️ but I may say also wiser. I’m determined now to go the distance as I’m the heaviest I’ve been since may be 2014 and I gave up on my quest for supreme fitness. I achieved some goals at 35, and now it’s time to set some lifestyle goals now that I am older, have new desires and personal goals I want to achieve. For me blogging gives me the accountability and focus that I need to stay on track and keep moving in a direction I want to go ➡️
I’m sure there’s others out there that struggle to maintain, that yo-yo from one thing to another, and struggle to consistently maintain an equilibrium. This is where ThirtyFiveandFit comes in, to draw inspiration, motivation and share. I expect there will be days I don’t blog, or I don’t just do but I’m making this promise now to at least try and give myself the best chance to succeed in achieving my personal goals ✔
So feel free to follow me, share with me your journey, and let see how we can support one another to bring together all the teachings from all the various nutrition, fitness, health and wellness advisors and achieve the lifestyle desired for health and wellness longevity 🙌🏿
