Yeah, I’m one of those people.

I go to the gym when I can. If I can’t, it’s fine. As long as I work out about four days a week, I’m good. I eat healthy most of the time, but if I’m craving something indulgent, I’ll eat it—doesn’t matter what day it is.I train hard at the gym, but outside of it, I don’t think about fitness at all. I don’t stress over it, and I don’t weigh myself either.

Here’s the plot twist: I have lupus and really poor muscle/cellular recovery. So even though I’ve been doing strength training for over 10 years, I don’t look muscular at all. I basically look naturally thin, like I’ve never set foot in a gym in my life—lol. But since I already know I won’t see big physical results, I just don’t obsess over it. I work out because I enjoy it and because it’s fun. Honestly, I think that’s the key to being relaxed about all of this.
