So I pin a bunch of fitness things... quotes... exercises... ideas galore. And what exactly do I do about it?
Ugh....NOTHING!
You would think a weight loss challenge at work and training for a half marathon would be motivation enough. But for some reason I'm just not doing what I need to do. I have lost weight before and I know how to do it. I lost a few pounds at the beginning of the challenge at work and just stopped doing things that aide in weight loss! Sometimes I just don't want to eat healthy (in a whiny voice)
WELL...GET OVER IT!
I am the only one that can do something about it. I am changing some things in my life that I see as obstacles for my weight loss goals and half marathon training.
I also need to get in a different mindset
and that mind set is...
pretty simple...
I always look at the fitness section of pinterest and I think looking at those pins, instead of the extremely delicious looking treat pins, that it will give me motivation. But I decided to follow up on some of my pins. I noticed that I pinned the same thing twice (an ab workout) I guess I didn't ever try it! I thought if I put some of the images together on a blog it would help me organize all of my fitness goals.
I know everyone says... it's important to be healthy not just skinny. I want to be both. I want to feel good about myself and not be out of control with eating and not exercising. I want to be healthy and make these habits for the rest of my life. But I want to like the way I look as well... I'm probably pretty healthy right now, but I'm not happy with my body and I don't want to be saying "I need to lose weight... exercise.. eat better" all my life. I don't want to be a broken record. It probably sounds negative to some, even though many people also say it all the time. I don't want to always have this to complain about.
I like exercising. I want to be active all my life. I don't know why I let being tired or the time of day stop me from exercising... I waste an hour a day on a TV show that I don't care about or surfing the internet. I have the time... pretty much every day!
I REALLY LOVE THIS QUOTE!
so here's to the habit!
I know what to eat... and definitely what I shouldn't eat. I love sweets in general, but I'm a candy addict... I think weight watchers is a rehab for people addicted to food. I just don't want to go to weight watchers. I know I can do it... It's just mind over matter. When I set my mind to something I DO IT! I just need to get serious again.
Sometimes I think I'm doing good and can have the things I shouldn't...
FRUIT
it's sweet right?
I NEED TO EAT MY VEGGIES!
How simple is a salad?
I'm doing this mainly for me... it's not that I'm doing it for someone else in particular. But for my future and for the family I hope to have some day. I want to be healthy for them. I hope I can be a good example for others and be a partner for anyone else wanting to reach similar goals.
I'm doing this blog for my own inspiration and hopefully I can inspire others.
This is a great visual for me. All my goals for health and fitness are right here!
GO ME!
I appreciate the support I do have from friends and family.. but it's ultimately up to me.
Here are a few more motivational images for my personal goals
