What's really wrong with the fitness industry

So I really wanted to make a post about how we view our fitness icons through social media. There's are hundreds upon thousands of people who post about their fitness industry each and every day on social media and there are so many people in the fitness industry that we look up to. I know I have a handful of people who I look to for inspiration and love what they post every single time and I value what they say. Now there are some people in the fitness industry who just post to post. They don't try to put any true value in their messages but people don't care and still go on liking them and following them. You can tell a huge difference between those people and see that what they are spreading can only be taken at face value. Some of my favorite women in the fitness industry are Emily Hayden, Brittany Lesser, Marie Wold, Yami Mufdi, Amanda Bucci, Emily Duncan, Brittany Dawn and Nikki Blacketter. These women make post with true messages in them and they do not sugar coat the fitness world and prep for a bodybuilding competition. They say what's on their mind and they're not going to lie for more likes or followers or subscribers. We have reached a point in the fitness industry where there is no real message from some of these social media celebrities. All they care about is the number of follower and subscribers they have. Just because we have social media so readily at our fingertips doesn't mean we need to post pictures or tweet something that has no actual message to it. We also need to stop looking up to those people who do no care about those who follow them. The ones who have gotten the body they have by surgeries or steroids and haven't worked hard for it, even though they say they have. These are the people who create these fake challenges and give the same workout to everyone and that's all you get. No actual personalization through emails or your macros or anything. And once the end of the challenge is there the winner has been photoshopped to prove something. These people are exactly what's wrong with the fitness industry. They pray upon the weak and don't help those who are truly seeking the help they want.

Sitting here in silence, I can’t seem to really concentrate. I have so many thought running through my head right now with hundreds of wheels spinning with no end in sight. What’s a girl to do when you have so many thoughts in your head and at the same time no real thoughts turning out. Tonight I can’t seem to really think about anything and everything is just a blur. I know I’m tired and I can’t wait to go to sleep tonight, but my mind just cannot seem to focus. The only time I could focus today seemed to be during my workout and when it was done everything went back to a constant turning.

As i sit here tonight beginning to try and let my thoughts pour out onto the keyboard I can’t help but think into the future, but also reminisce on my past. I’ve been through so much is so little time and I have so much more to accomplish in my life. I refuse to be just another name, just another person here on this planet and not truly living. I want to do what I want and not what anyone wants me to do. No longer will I be that person. I can’t go back to the way I was, I refuse to. What is life if your not truly LIVING! It’s time to take a walk on the wild side and show who I am from the inside. I feel like I am finally truly becoming myself and the person I am meant to be and I love it. I am dressing the way I want and being the person I want to be and not what everyone else wants me to be. I have begun to finally be in love with myself and I have never been happier. I know my boyfriend, of 8 years, has said how I am finally 100% myself all the time and he loves me more now than ever. 

Life throws you obstacles and it’s up to you if you want to struggle but eventually climb over them or be scared of it and not take the chance to climb over it. I don’t know about you, but I choose to work my way over the obstacle shedding blood sweat and tears but eventually reaching the top. If you don’t work for anything can you really achieve it? If you’re reading this I want you to think about what you truly want the most in this life. Now that you have that thought in your head are you going to just settle and have that goal or dream within arms reach but still not being able to touch it because you didn’t put in the effort or are you going to work your ass off and be the person you want to be? I choose the later.

Seeing your hard work come together is the most rewarding part about fitness.

Life matters

Late last night I was reminded about how short life is. A coworker of mine at the gym died from a heart attack while he was at his main job during the day and no one found him till they believe was 30 minutes after it occurred. When my boss texted me and let me know my heart broke. I had just spoken with him the day before and he was talking about how he was excited to get back in the gym and become healthy again. This reminded me just how short life really is. You can be here one day and gone the next within the blink of an eye. It reminds me to continue to live each day the most and enjoy the small things because you never know when it’s all going to be taken away from you. Every day matters, life matters. Don’t ever take it for granted.

As I sit here in this chair in the sun I can't help but wonder, did I make the right decision. I decided not to go back to nursing school for the fact that it's not what I want to do at all. I can't stand being in the hospital and I hate the medical field after thinking for so long that it was what I wanted to do. I want to follow my heart and do what I truly want to do but i'm terrified now. I thought I had a plan but now it's just disintegrating in front of my eyes. I'm ready to just start fresh and move away and get my life started the way I want it to be, but what is it? Do I go into Art History, what i've wanted to do for years, or do I go into fitness and exercise that I love. I just don't know, but there's a kind of beauty in that isn't there? Right now is my time to live and become the person I was truly meant to be, not what I thought I should be or what everyone else thought I should be.
