Genetics

Today I went to yoga for 2 hours...1 moderate class and 1 gentle class...it was a great way to start the day...but one thing I noticed (which I probably SHOULDN'T HAVE since I was supposed to only be paying attention to MYSELF and FOCUSING MY MIND...but I'm human! And my mind was wondering a bit!)

In the moderate class there were mostly younger people. I noticed there was this one girl who was SUPER skinny...don't get me wrong...she looked fairly fit...I could see some muscle on her...but I started to think to myself, I would NEVER look like that...actually, I DON'T WANT to look like that. Then in the gentle class it was mostly older women...who were soft and somewhat over weight...and I though to myself, I DON'T WANT to look like that when I'm older...then that got me thinking...

Getting your "perfect" body is not always going to be easy...if your mom and grandma have big thighs and a big butt...you are probably going to have that too (ummm that would be ME!)...but if your mom and dad are bean poles, you'll probably look like that too...

Does that mean that the "bean poles" have it easier? NO...the bean poles probably have a harder time GAINING muscle and size...where as the big butt and heavy thigh person has a harder time losing FAT...

No one has it EASY...No matter what your body type it's going to take TIME and EFFORT to get the "PERFECT" body...YOUR perfect body...so remember that every time you are in the gym or planning your meals for the week...think about what is going to HELP you and what is going to SET YOU BACK....and then make the BEST choice for YOU in order to get you closer to your PERFECT BODY!
