Motivation

Sorry, all my posts are thoughts this week, Pinewood Derby to come next week. I know I talk to quite a few people about weight loss due to the fact that they've watched me over the past year. I get so many compliments and I appreciate all of the support. I'm back to it and just finished week 2 of my workouts. My motivation for my weight loss is to improve my life and also to be able to run around with my little boy while that's a cool thing. Over the past few months I have struggled with illness and didn't work out at all. I have had two cycles and finished series 3 of birth control yesterday. Series 1 and 2 I had weird cycles that were going on when they weren't supposed to. Series 3 the cycle was exactly what it was supposed to be. The only change was my exercising and weight loss. The ironic thing is it was going on during my break down. I know if I work out and exercise my body will take care of itself. I even had another pregnancy, it was a miscarriage but still I got pregnant. If because I'm working out I can prevent a hysterectomy that would be awesome. I even worked out while having the flu this week. I have become the crazy work out lady doing 2-3 workouts a day, but it's well worth it.

What is your motivation? When I'm fat, I'm tired and don't have a lot of energy and it's so very easy to stay there. I gave up for 7 years and made every excuse out there. The only way that anything changes is when you decide that you can do it. I decided I was tired of feeling fat, ugly, and tired all the time. Even if your goal isn't weight loss, you can do it as long as you're motivated enough to do so. If you have a support system, that helps as well. Words of encouragement definitely helps. For me posting my weight is important because people see it and it pushes me to get it down so people see a smaller number. What will keep you going? Find someone to check in on you. No matter your goal, you can achieve it as long as you're willing to work at it. Don't give up when something goes wrong, just keep working at it until you get to where you want to be.
