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?

Perfectly Pink Confessions

While I love sharing my inspirations, goals, dreams, and random musings with you lovelies. I don't usually write much about reallllly personal stuff about me. I feel like fitness and weight loss is going to be a common reoccurrence on my blog. Let me start by saying that I have always struggled with my weight, probably not as bad as I am now but it's always been a constant struggle. I have never been comfortable in my own skin, even though at times I act like I am. Don't get me wrong I am a confident young woman or rather I have learned to be confident, but I live in a world that sees my weight as a liability and quite honestly a "choice". I was never the popular girl in my class and other kids made fun of me. In high school it even went as far as a guy letting me believe my crush liked me, to get a kick out it and laugh at me.  During P.E. I was always the slow girl and when I tried to be on a sports team my coaches never took a second look at me. I don't want you guys to feel sorry for me because this has made made me a stronger and better person, but I do however want you guys to know my story. While I don't think that I have helped my weight I also don't believe it's been a choice. I would never have chosen to be made fun of, to feel at times like I don't belong, and sometimes feel like just RUNNING away. So as I said I've struggled.... and up until now I have never tried(at least for very long) to change the struggle. Until a couple of months ago, my Fiance and I decided to embark on a journey to try to be healthier. Our grocery carts went from having cheetos, doritos, cokes, and candy to having vegetables, fruit, whole wheat, sugar-free puddings, and chicken( that wasn't breaded(mind blown). Believe me it was quite a change!! For the first time in a very long time I was actually motivated. So I want to share with you guys my daily/weekly struggles as I enter into this new chapter in my life where I lose weight, get fit, and live a healthier lifestyle. I know it will not be easy and at times I may even feel like quitting but I will make a promise to myself that I will not give up and give it my all.
