Motivational Monday

Good Morning lovelies!!! 

I am again on path of getting fit and healthy. Sometimes I get discouraged because I'm not seeing the results that I want to see but I have to remind myself that it takes time and that I need to find the patience it takes to trek on the fitness journey. I feel like it's a no ending cycle but alas I'm okay with that since I want to be healthy for my daughter and husband.  I have a long road ahead of me but one that I welcome!!! Although it's really hard to stay motivated, lets start off today with a little motivation:

And most of all

Good Morning Gorgeous!!! :)

I want to wish you a sensational Saturday full of lots of happiness and adventures!!! =) I just wanted to remind you that even though people say mean things to you, there is no need to believe them. YOU are BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING!!!!!!!  I was bullied as a kid and even in my teens…. I believed them for a really long time and I felt bad about myself. But you know what nothing they ever said was true. Sure I was overweight but my self-worth was no less than anyone else’s. I am beautiful and amazing and many other wonderful things….. they made fun of me and teased me and did mean things to me. But anything they ever did wasn’t because there was something wrong with me it was because THEY were the ones with the problem NOT ME… THEY were the ones that had low self-esteem and thought that being mean to someone else and putting them down would make them feel better. But guess what I did, I said ENOUGH is enough and I stopped believing them… next time they said something mean to me I didn’t believe them and guess what happened? I took all their power away from them and eventually little by little it started disappearing…. In one of my counseling courses I learned something that has been with me ever since…. My professor said “NOBODY can make you happy, sad, angry, put you down, make you feel bad, step on you, or anything… UNLESS you give them permission to”.…. So live by those words from today on… Don’t give those bullies the power and permission to make you feel bad about yourself….

Motivation Monday :)

Good Morning Lovely!!!! I hope today is absolutely magnificent!!! Okay let's face it monday's are usually bleh. But lets change it up a little and get some motivation! This past weekend I finally got over my plateau that I have been suffering from for the past 2-3 weeks and it's OVER!!! Can you say HALLLELUJAH!!!! I thought I would share some things that keep me motivated!!!

1.  GOALS!!! Goals keeps me from wandering from going into the I give up on the weight loss journey road! They keep me accountable and with something to look forward. :)

2. Looking at inspiring pictures on tumblr, or pinterest!! Sometimes when I am feeling blue. I like to look at pages on the world wide web that make me say AHHH I need to keep going because, well simply because I see that picture and it makes me want to get up and exercise or eat that carrot instead of chip!!!

3. Prepare, Prepare, Prepare!!! Every Sunday I prepare our food for the week!!! This gives me some motivation to eat the healthy food I prepared which keeps me on track!! It also makes me look forward to trying new recipes and have all week to search for them!

4. Looking at old pics of myself. Nothing says way to go girl than looking at past photos and seeing what I have accomplished!!!

5. Writing stuff down!!! Nothing gets me more motivated than logging onto my blog or opening my journal and just writing!!! It always makes me happy and makes me feel like I am ready to take on the world!! :)

What motivates you?
