Episode #19 Stay in Shape and Lose Weight by Accident

I started exercising when I was 19 years of age. My body started to transform after 3 months. I managed to stay in shape for many years by lifting weights. I would run a couple times a week. Lifting weights is part of my routine, 5 times a week. Running is a behavior that I needed to remind myself about. I used to run in my routine because I want to keep my fat percentage below 12 percent. But running is not my strongest behavior as I mentioned. Years later, in my life, two events took place. One of them was adopting Pelon, my Xoloitzcuintle dog and another event that made me depressed. I am honestly happy for both events. They changed my life. I was trying to understand life and wanted to take my dog for a run or walk.. When I was running, I noticed that it is very important what I tell myself the first 8 minutes of my warm up. Then during the run, I needed to stay focused on my internal talk and small goals I set up, so I could run 3 to 6 miles. My mind needed to stay busy talking positively about my run. Running was not my strength, but I used to do it to stay in shape. However, I started to hang out more with my friend, who was my neighbor and he took me for my first hike. Once my friend took me from my first hike, I started to hike from 3 to 5 times a week. I think hiking is a little different. With hiking, I can push myself without thinking about it. Of course, if I want to do cardio, I need to do the same as what I was doing as when I ran. I have tried to hike as an exercise and I can hike faster. But what I really like about hiking is that my mind gets clear from all the stress of the week and day. If I focus on exercising when I hike, I can’t focus on my thoughts.
