It's been two and a half years now that I've been practicing hot yoga at least once a week and then last year I added regular yoga and zumba once a week which, as you can see, made me do a regular workout three days in a week. This year, I've even added a once a week strength training class so that brings me to four workout days in a week.
And yet, my waistline seems to be retaining its bulge and sometimes I think my belly is even getting fatter! I have not dared use a tape measure to validate my hypothesis.
There are studies that apparently show that high cortisol levels are linked to having fats and that for women, these cortisol goes to the belly, hence the belly fat! Is that what's happening to me that's why even with all these exercise regimes I am still stuck with this built-in swim ring around my body???
But I've been doing meditation too and doing my best to be calm and just be chill. But then again, today I snapped...so I am here now at the library trying to defuse the tension on my nerves.
Okay, I need to remember to be kind to myself so here's my kind words: I do think I have been growing and learning to handle my life now with more wisdom and serenity and it is just normal that there will be times like this that I will lose my cool but I will know how to snap out of it and return my patience back. See, I think I now feel better already, just need to do some deep breaths...
