It’s ok to let it slack as long as you pick it back up again.

This is me, in front of the gym, which I am about to enter.

I have been a member of this gym for the past year, ever since my son started swimming lessons here. And I have largely been going faithfully to the gym twice a week for that past year. But the last three to for weeks, I just couldn’t muster the energy. I let it slip completely and abandoned all selfimposed restrictions. I had a blast eating and drinking whatever I wanted.

And that is ok. It’s really ok to sometimes just let go in order to come back and be rejuvinated and motivated again. As we say in Dutch:

The bowstring can’t be hold under tension forever aka all work no play ...

But now, nearing the end of the year,I decided to pick up the slack and pick up my healthy ways again. I loath New Years resolutions (they are set to be broken from the get go), so it was detriment I started this before Januari 1st. Instead of croissants with an extra slice of cheese everyday it’ll be lowfat curd with some granola. Instead of beer on weekdays, it’ll be tea.

The fasted gains in getting back into shape are the ones you don’t put into your body in the first place.

I’m excited to pick this up against and so is my better half, @rijkie, so we can motivate and support eachother.

Stay healthy Steemit !
