My coworker is 72 years old and she's in way better shape than me. She works out on a daily basis and she has to get in 10,000 steps each day. She's on a meal plan so she cooks her dinner each night. She doesn't drink any soda and she doesn't snack in between her three set meals.
I on the other hand do not work out that much, I snack and I eat unhealthily and I wonder why I'm not losing weight. If I even changed my dieting habits slightly I might be able to be at the level she is at. I'm very hard on myself when it comes to my figure and I hope to have more improvements with it in the future. I've been starting to plan out of my meals and I've been looking on Pinterest to see which meals are the best. I need to take more time out of my day to focus on my health or else I'll end up being extremely unhealthy.
If my 72-year-old coworker can meal plan and make time to work out, so can I. And may I mention, she's retired she started working again because she was bored. She is a machine and I hope that one day I can have that much stamina. She pushes herself instead of having someone push her. Having that much intrinsic motivation definitely is something many of us don't have.
That's why I struggle with my health, I don't push myself far enough and I make excuses. She definitely has pushed me heavily to improve and I hope that one day I have as much motivation as her.
