  • Congrats!

    I just started last Monday, any helping words?

    My biggest motivation has been writing down WHY I started, and referring back to that whenever it gets tough. I absolutely love what I do for workouts, and that is TREMENDOUS help. I have a whole cheerleading support section of friends and family that helps along the way! I try new workouts, and if I hate it? I just move right along. I am doing this to be healthy, fit, & HAPPY! And I am not happy doing yoga, so I don't make myself do it :). I got really obsessive about researching fitness pictures and quotes and put them up all over the place.

    And, I remember, that yes, it is lovely to be cheered on by people. But, at the end of the day it comes down to wanting it. And I want this, then I work for it. Pure and simple.

    You can add me if you ever need any extra motivation! Sometimes just knowing you're accountable to someone else totally helps me out!

    Working out absolutely makes me happy! And you just really have to do what you love! I took up running. And then I got really obsessed with running music finds. So, there are plenty of times when I'm mouthing the words of songs as I am running along. I told a friend that, for me, running gives me the same sensation as driving with the my windows rolled down and the music turned up. It is just a freedom I can't recreate!

    Thanks! I'm all about the reality that if I can do it, ANYONE can!
