I am feeling a
little better today. The past three days
I have had an upset tummy! Not sure if it is something I ate or a bug. I did get my workouts in though. NO EXCUSES
right!
Today I want to
write about two different topics that have really been on my mind lately.
#1 – Life does not
have to stay the same! I know so many of
us overweight people convince ourselves that this is just how we are and try to
be content with it. I have “dieted” more
times than I can remember and each time I failed, I convinced myself that I was
just going to be fat forever and people should just like me for me. Well people should like me for me, but I don’t
have to stay this way forever and neither do you. Whether it is weight or something else that
we convince ourselves is “just how it is”, we can break free of those
chains. Believe me, I am not doing this
to look better (even though it would be nice).
I just did not feel good. Each
day was a struggle to get out of bed. How
can that be the life I was meant to live.
We don’t have to stay the way we are right now. Change is a choice, even though the journey
is hard and long. I have a poster on the
wall in my workout room that sums this up:
#2 – Motivation –
Even though I am having success on the scale, I still struggle mentally with
this journey. I have to find motivation
each day to workout and make healthy eating choices. By the time I have reached my goal, I will
have lost 247.2 pounds. My goal is to
take a trip to Bora Bora when I get there.
So today I ordered two posters of Bora Bora to hang up in my workout
room. So when I think of quitting I can
just look at the beach and remember the reward.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not only getting healthier to go to Bora Bora,
but man what a reward. I also made a set
of jars to keep marbles in for how many pounds I have lost and how many I still
have to go. Please share some ideas that
keep you motivated! Today was hard. On each machine I was ready to quit with just
a few minutes left, but I kept going.
Well now that I
have rambled on and on, I better go for now.
Have a great day!
Keep Losing,
Kari
