All read, NO ONE is responsible for YOUR health and weight loss except YOU! There isn't a magic pill, we all have to work hard to reach our goals. Now remember you've paid to be a part of this group to gain the motivation needed to lose weight. So, we are almost half way, $40 a week and $300-$320 at the finally are on the line. I think that is a great motivating factor. At the next weigh in I will rank the group and let everyone no where they stand.
Need to gain motivation? try this....
Make some lists, write it out and do some deep thinking
- 5 reasons you are doing this challenge
- 5 things that are making it hard to stay on track.
- Remember you are trying to make a lifestyle change; so list the habits you would like to gain
- habits you want to kick
Exercise is very important to getting healthy and losing weight for good.....
So, sit down and make an exercise schedule for the week (remember the weekly challenge is to workout 4 times this week) Post your schedule somewhere you will see it everyday. (I keep mine on my nightstand & in my planner)
Organization is also very important....
knowing when you are going to exercise and what you are going to eat, really lets you make healthier choices without really thinking about it. Instead of making excuses not to exercise (because it's not planned) or going through the drive thru (because you don't know what to make for dinner) you will have everything planned out in advance, NO EXCUSES.
So, I just picked up a really cute organizer/planner from Wal-Mart for $3.97, I encourage you to find one and start planning your weeks out.
this is what my week looks like....
I drew a line to separate my schedule from my meal planning. So each day I have everything I need to make healthy choices, when I'm going to exercise and what I am going to eat!
My is goal is to encourage everyone of you to pick up some good habits and get healthy!
start an inspiration board....
Be positive and stay focused on your health!
check out this blog very inspirational....
what are your reasons for wanting to get healthy?
mine....
- I'm tired of hating cameras too... I never really realize how out of control my weight has gotten until I see a picture of myself. I hate it!
- I want to be able to wear anything... I hate finding a really cute outfit, trying it on and it doesn't look good at all. I want to be able to like a pair of jeans and have them fit awesomely (don't think thats a word but I'm going with it)
- I want to like what I see when I glance in the mirror... If I stand there long enough I can convince myself that I like what I see but sometimes when I am just walking by and happen to catch a glance of myself, I think EWWWW!! and then I feel like "dang, thats how everyone else sees me?"
- I want to run... after a stressful day I want to be able put on my ipod and run the stress away! I used to run a little several years back and it was so relaxing and energizing at the same time, if that makes any sense.
- I want to be more confident and outspoken... I am naturally a reserved person, so it's even harder for me to put myself out there in front of people, being overweight. And confidence is a very attractive quality, not only in romantic relationships but in all relationships. It's easier to make friends and make a marriage last when you are confident in yourself.
- I want to help people... so many people struggle with confidence and weight, I want to show them it is possible and help them to get healthy the right way. I would love to learn about how our bodies interact with food and exercise and become a nutritionist or something.
- I want to use my body to it's fullest.... our bodies are incredible, they can do so much if they are well taken care of and in shape. I want to see what mine can do in tip top shape.
- I don't want to be old and fat... right now I am young and fat, so I figure I can change the less flattering of the two right now.... And I know it's harder to lose the longer you carry the weight around.
- To stop wearing out the thighs of my pants... I've had a few pairs of pants, granted I did wear them a lot, that wore out and made holes in the thigh area from rubbing together. I want to be able to stand with my feet together and see between my thighs.
- For my husband... I tell him all the time that I am his fat wife and of course he says "no you're not, your beautiful" (he has to say that) but I see the pictures I know the truth. I need to be the best me I can for him and for our family (in the very far future) I want to feel attractive and be his trophy wife... lol...
