Welcome back to Carrie’s Fit Life! I guess I’m really welcoming myself back, since I’m the one who’s been away, right?
Last time I checked in it was June and I was training for the Ironman 70.3 Triathlon in Syracuse. Unfortunately, I had to cancel that conquest soon after that post was written, in order to address and take care of some life priorities.
The last few months have seen some pretty big life changes for me, and I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about Carrie’s Fit Life, what a fit life in general is, and whether or not I’ve been presenting it properly. And I don’t really think I have been. Since the beginning, my blog posts have primarily been about me and my training. And while I enjoy talking about my training and filling you in on my ups and downs, that wasn’t really my goal for the blog.
I still plan to expand Carrie’s Fit Life eventually to include an area specific to my training updates, but for now I’m going to try to get back to what Carrie’s Fit Life is really about. It’s not just about physical fitness, although that does play a significant role and will be discussed often. In order to have a truly fit life, you need to take care of everything: your mind, body and soul. And I don’t mean just in a spiritual sense, either. It’s everything – your health (mental and physical), inspiration and aspirations, dreams, family, fiscal life, and anything else that involves having choices and making decisions.
These are some the things that play a role in Carrie’s Fit Life, and your Fit Life, too. I don’t have all of the answers, and I still make some bad decisions – but no matter what, there are lessons and insights to be gained from it. Don’t be mistaken – I strongly believe that physical activity and good nutrition play a vital role in everyone’s ability to have a fit life and my goal is to prove it, over time. But life’s not just about physical fitness and nutrition, so going forward I’m going to try to spend some time talking about the other parts of a Fit Life, too.
Check back again to see what’s going on in Carrie’s Fit Life. See you soon!
