Inspiration and motivation

I try to think of the big picture; whether it's how I wanna look, how I wanna feel, my health, my family. It is NOT always easy trust me i know sometimes those cravings are KILLER!!! But the more you work on the emotional/mental part, it tends to help...

I think cindaboo gave excellent advice.

Also, I keep telling people to journal journal journal. When you want to eat junk, write down your feelings, thoughts, and surroundings. What is going on at the time? Start replacing these things. Get down to the nitty gritty of why you are wanting this food. Replace your bad habits with good habits.

Keep going! You will succeed.

The best tip I can give you is to plan, plan, plan. If you have your meals and snacks planned out for the day its a lot easier to stick to your diet. Its when we get hungry and have no food around that we start craving those bad thing for us. I always have almonds, apples, a protein bar at work. I bring my own lunch and drink so I don't hit the vending machine for a soda (even diet).

As far as workout I pretty much do the same. I have a calendar and list the workout that I'm suppossed to do (I mostly do beachbody programs, so they all come with their own calendar). But if I have an "appointment" listed in my calendar I tend not to miss it, so I try to do the same with my workout. Its an appointment with myself to be healthy, so I do my best to follow thru.

Also, talk to your friends and relative and let them know of your journey so they can be there to support you. This site is full of people willing and happy to there for you and help.

I know how you feel and have been more than enough times and it sucks! Lately my motivation has been fueled by a few different things for example: I am going on a trip in a few months , and this summer I want to go swimming parties and have fun! and not feel embarassed ,so I try not to let those cravings set in cuz I know that sitting on the couch eating my fav foods isn't going to get me no where but bigger and more depressed and unable to enjoy my life the way I want, I am trying to realize that eating all this bad stuff only makes me a lil happy for a moment but miserable in the end. Just picture what you want and keep your eye on the prize honey, you will get there not overnight ( which I have finally reasoned with myself) but the day will come !Your awesome and your week is going to get better starting now because you took the time to write this blog so you have acknowledged that your not satisfied with what's been going recently, so here's to a FANTABULOUS rest of the day and week!!
